i'rctM Our Own Correspondent.
New Yokk, April 15, 18(50.
I don't wonder that foreigners prow disgusted
with this climate, and that even the geniality of
Dickens was put to a sevorc test by an American
catarrh. After a faint show of spring weather,
winter re-clutched us yesterday, and the heaviest
f heavy clothing was not too comfortable in
ttie streets. Perhaps this blood-stirring atino
ohcre had something to do with warming the
sensibilities of the car conductors and drivers in
regard to their rights, for those of the 8ccond
avenue line elinultnncoufdy deft work, and for
one hours that thoroughfare was void of pub
Be vehicles. A strike there was what might be
exptcted, as indeed strikes might be expected
pon all the routes, for the wretched employes
are Bndcrpald and overworked, and are abused
alike by public and by press. Who ever thinks
f pitying a car-driver or conductor? The stage
and omnibus driver Is condoled with, the hack
man is compassionated, the private coachman
licits our sympathies, but when is one expres
sion of commiseration wasted upon the slx
' jen-hourB-per-day toller who driv passengers
from one. end of the city to the other, or sees
to their eafe and comfortable bestowal? The
drivers and conductors upon the Second avenue
ars have lately become so morbidly sensitive
pon these facts that, on an attempt being made
ma the part of some new director to increase the
boars of work, they consentaneously abandoned
their several charges, and statloued themselves
along the line to visit with violence whoever
should presume to supply their places. The re
volt vras partly due to the "extra car" system.
When a man falls to put in an appearance at the
proper hour in the morning, ho is placed upon
one of the extra cars, which are employed only
on two or three days in the week, and in
"docked" in hia pay for those days when the
extras are not runniDg. The strike is probably
prelutlve to others in other departments of labor,
and the likelihood is that during the summer as
any strikes will bo hoard of as though the
lock of labor had becn4wound the wrong way
and was sounding a constant alarm.
Considerable alarm has been created in the
bosom of "Madame Byron," with whose name
ou mav not be wholly nnlammar. Bhe occu-

brandishing announcements to the effect that
the only and original Madame Byron reveals
our whole life to you from the cradle to the
grave, and does various other interesting and
ulcasant things for a consideration. Instead of
being fair, fat, and forty, she bears the appearance
of being fast, florid, and fashionable. She
is a clairvoyant and spiritual test medium, and
her manner of conducting business is similar to
that of all people:of kher class. Visitors write
umber of questions on littlo slips of paper,
which, before looking at them, Madame crushes
an Into little pellets, and, throwing them upon
the floor, professes to give the correct answer to
tbein through ,tbe mediation of a spirit-friend
of the writer's. A Mrs. Goulet, who had applied
i f,.rn. ii Inn about a watch that had been
u.lcn. and bad paid eighteen dollars for infor
rnatlon that was far from satisfactory, came to
th couclnsion that a fraud had been practised

thralled by some profound spiritnal -workings
in regard to a loss by
the Bull's ITead National Bank. Being utterly
anablc to bring her to terms, Mrs. Ooulct Isnpor
tonsd a detective for his services. The detective
went to Madame and introduced himself as a
clerk in the Bull's Head National; whereupon
the clairvoyant, fixing upon him her fine pene
trative eyes, remarked conclusively, "Young
man, you arc weak in your mind; you hod better
go home," aud so brought the interview to an
abrupt termination. The regular process of law
was then observed, and in duo time the seventh

has yet been done with Madame Byron, with
whom "the conditions" have not been favorable
the last day or two, owing to her havlug been
f objected to the ignominy and chagrin of ap
pearing before a vulgar police justice.
While I am upon spiritual matters, I might as
w ell mention the arrest of two notorious "pills"
of the profession, who for the lout few weeks
have ftainingly advertised themselves on Broad
way as the only reliable and legitimate "spirit
photographers." Their pretensions were that
they could photograph the form and features of
any "spirit-friend'1 of any sitter for u photograph,
and that the spirit-photograph would faintly,
but recognizably, appear side by sldo with
the fleshly one. The price for each sittwr was
fixed at ten dollars, and lest it should be sup
posed that a mercenary feeling dictated this
arrangement, It was explained that this rate was
expressly stipulated by the "angel-world," be
cause the spirits were anxious to exclude the
vulgar multitude. The sneering skeptic might
object to this, his olfactories informing him
of the preseiu e of a rut of unusual size, but
then the art of Mr. Mumbler, the photographic
medium in question, was not meant for skeptics,
but for gull and dupes. lie found plenty
of these at ten dollars a head, and no doubt
there are scores of simple-hearted men aud
women In whom imagination takes the part of
memory, and who, having had their pho
tographs taken by Mumbler, are ready to swear
that the "spirit-faces" faintly discernible beside
their own likenesses are the faithful pictures of
friends and relutives in the other world. If this
be so, spirit faces bear a most remarkable resem
blance one to another. Mr. Mumblcr's latest
visitor was a Mr. P. V. Ilickie, a blonde and
brilliant young man, with sandy chtvelure and
a gold pen, who used to write some of the best
ditorialsa year and a half ago in Ahern's Keen
ing Gazette, subsequently obtained a contribut
ing position on tbc Herald, and is at present
employed in winnowing scientific items for the
World. His last winnowing exploit took him
to Mr. Mnmblcr's, who, fulling to give him the
satisfaction he paid for, was arrested at Hickie's
instigation, and is now awaiting examination,
The facts shortly to be elicited by Mr. Ilickie
promise to form a brilliant feather in the cap of
Bohemiauism.
Funny Junuuschek has been elaborately cau
tioned by the critics not to risk her reputation
by performing in public in English; but what
reason is there why she should not be an success
ful as Vestvali, Mudume Scheller, Bandinunn, or
Feehter ? She has an Insatiable desire to bring
to her feet such audiences iw crowded around
Histori. Hitherto her houses have been exclu
sive only in the sense of being exclusively Ger
man, and her ambition Is to have Fifth-avenue
applauders. As a feeler, she put forth "Lady
Macbeth," tho other day, to a small andienco of
private friends, und I have heard worse broken

We have the following important intelligence
from Havana, dated the 10th Inst:
Dne notice had been eriven by tho varions city
papers that Mous. Francisco Leon and Angustin
lcdina would be carroted t-day. havintr been
convicted as leaders ot the not in i-iguras street
in January last, when the tlrst named, without
any assistance, kept a respectable number of
police officials at bay, killing and wounding
several, the second having uLio conquered hiu
antagonist ut the same time.
But no notice uaa oeen given vnai me nsnai
Sunday assassinations, massacres, and tho rest
of the performance, had been changed to Friday.
Everybody expected noma kind of a perform
ance yesterday, und nobody was disappointed.
Lonir before 11 A. M.. the hour fixed for the exe
cution, the surrounding streets and places look-
lug towards the 1'uuta were mica 10 overnowing
by a motley crowd of the Cuban, Spanish, and
negro rabble.

casslnsr a fellow-prisoner shook hands with him,
and was told by that prisoner "Not to forget hid
commission. un rcacning tue piaiorm ieon
reuuested to be permitted to say a lew words,
which was granted. Beginning in a low voice
he asked God to forgive him for his sins, that he
jdied contrite, and under the full conviction that
his death would be terribly avengea uy his com
panions. Then, raising hi voice, be shouted
loud enough to be heard by all present:" Vina

At that moment a shot was fired at the con
demned, the bullet paslnr between him and the
executioner, the latter pusning i.eon quicmyinio
the fatal chair. In half u second tue iron ring
was adjusted, a turn 01 the screw, a convulsive
movement of the muscles, and Leon watt no
more.
Wlille tills execution was taking place on the
scaffold, murders of another nature were being
enacted outside of tho cordon of volunteers
formed around the plat form. A negro shot at
one of the mounted policemen, but missed him,
ana the police olucer cut him down wltn his
sword. The rush which then took place cannot
ueucscrioed; several hundred carnages and
about ten thousand people tried to run away
from the scene. Men. women, aud children
were thrown down and trampled on by the ex-
cucu uiuumiue. puouis oi "Aluera .xpaia,
uu u uucuhioiiui Biioi or cry oi pain, were
Iienrd, and In less than two uiiuutes the whole
place was cleared.
At the camij time, tho second prisoner, Medina,
had been brought to the platform aud executed.
He tried to muke himself heard, but the music

lace by regular troops and volunteers. Several

lust returned from the interior. Tho volunteer-
guarding the scaffold, about 1000 men, did not
loin in the tumult, remaining at their post aud
behaving well. Had they Bred on the people,
the deaths would have uuiountcd to hundreds.
The fighting and shouting were doue by the
rowdy and reckless portion of the Spanish and
Cuban population, and no excuse can be found
for either party, as the Cubans niado no attempt
to ret-cue their countryman. Tho vivandiero of
the (5th Battalion til Volunteers, who resides in
the Immediate vicinity of tlie Punta, shouted
Viea Espana I from her windows, and was
uxsiiKhinutcd for doing ho. There in no excuse
for cither party lu iLc-jC occurrences; and if
done to fcep up and ltwryww the hatred be
tween Cubans and Spaniards, and to afford a few
murderers a rhnuce to satisfy their sanguinary
instincts, and then classify their crime as a
patriotic action, the means to do it are a decided
reproocn to the insurgent cansc.
After tlie firing, and while hnntW ivftyi-
rosed fugitives, the. volunteers entered several
houses, w hich they left in a deplorable state.
the volunteers are anxious to have such chnnm.
and If the ultimate resnlt could in anv wav
benefit the Cubans, it might bo well to afford tho
opportunity; but when a few unarmed men, gene
rally, defy a large aimed maioritv. knowliur that
such majority has all tho advantage, then the
attempt is no longer commendable or heroic, but

Court of Common Plenn .Tudttcs AUIaon, Lud
low, and llrewHier.
This morning, in the matter of the contested elec
tion cases, counsel for the respondents came Into
Court and stated that on Friday last the contestants
had closed their testimony before the Examiners,
having amassed a volume of testimony amounting to
812 pages, of which they (coudscI for the respondents)
had been furnished with no conv: as vettherhud
had no time for perusing this to tlnd exactly what
they hud to meet, and therefore they asked thirty
days' time to prepsre their esse and open their testi
mony ; promising thereby to save time,and close,ln all
probability, aiiouc tue middle 01 Juiy.
On the part of the contestants this motion was op
posed on tne ground that the respondents' counsel
had been presont at the taking of the testimony, and
had the fullest opportunity to know what was Its
character, and as there was really no necessity for
1 mis postponement, 10 grant it would only occasion
great delay In a matter for which the public de
mand a speedy decision. U
Judge Allison, on behalf of the Court, while depre
cating the course of the counsel and examiners In
holding but three sittiugs In a week, and regretting
they had not acted upon his suggestion of holding
at least live per week, said that It had happened In
all contested elections within his recollection, that
npon the close of the contestant's case the respond
ents asked for time to prepare their evidence,
which was always granted; aud seeing no reason
why this case should, be an exception, it had been
agreed that the time for ouening the testimony on
the part of the respondents should be postponed
until May 8 next

Senator Hprattuc Anln.
Senator Anthony made a reply this morning to
Pprague's late OMoault upon certain families in
Rhode Island, and had read the card of Messrs.
Ives & Brown.
CONGRESS TO -DA Y.
Hrnatc.
Wafbtnotoh, April 16. The Senate was called to order
at noon, and, after prayer and the reading of the journal,
Mr. Anthony, the Prosidnnt pro tnn., vacated the chair in
fsvnr of Mr. Morrell, and from his seat on the floor spoke
as follows : ,
Mr. President, before the Renato proceeds to the regular
business ot the aav. 1 desire to interpoee an act of justice.
It will be remembered that a few days ago certain persons
of respectable stsnding, private citizens, my constituents,
were assailed in this chamber in an extraordinary manner;
considering that the assault was made by one of their own
Senators, I may ssy sn unprecedented manner. I spoke
Some words in reply in vindication of the honor of
Rhode Island, in defense of the sacred memory of the
cead.and the reputation of the living men among thorn,
these to whom I have referred.
1 his assault was not confiued to those vagne generalities
which it is difficult to answer, because it is almost impos
sible to define. It contained at least one specific, positive,
defiant allegation that the persona ossailod had proposed
to enter into a conspiracy for enriching themselves at the
expense of their fellow-oitiscns, for arranging their busi
ness in such manner as to insnre and enlarge thoir own
Crosperity, breaking down tho others engaged in the saino
nsiners-a charge which, although denning nothing pro
hibited by statute, is so abhorent to all sense of fairness,
so damaging to honeBt deputation, as not to be credited
except on ample proof or open confession. A charge made
in this chamber has a peculiar significance and a peculiar
effect. It does not dio upon the air with the breath tluit
utters it; it is placed upon record; it is spread upon the
pages of the Coigrnional (ilor ; it passed
into history. The Senate has high privileges
privileges essentinl to its dignity and its inviolability
Crivilegea guaranteed by the Constitution that are ac
nnwledged good and respectod by the people, and that are
sometimes liable to abuse upon the floor, ami others not
entitled to seats in this chamber have privileges which,
although not defined by statute, not protected by the fun
damental law, rest on the enduring principles of jUHtioe
which ore the unwritten law of houorable men,
and one of the privileges is that, when their
names are brought into the chamber, without offense ot
agency or crime of their own, covered with obloquy, they
should have a hearing in the same presence, and their de
fense should enjoy the same publicity and have the same
enduring record. I ask the Secretary to read the card
which 1 send to the desk, and he read the card of Messrs.
brown k Ives, already published.
Mr. Anthony resumed as follows : My purpose has been
accomplished. I have placed in tho CunrMionit1 Glnhe
the denial by the side of the accusation. 1 have done this
without the request or the knowledge of the persons who
have signed the statement that has just been read. I
wculd, under the same circumstances, have done it for the
humblest of my constituents. Indeed, to a generous mind,
it is more pleasant to defend the poor and the lonely who
arennableto defend themselves than the rich and p'lwer
lul, who are in some way or another can vindicate
their own wrongs. But to honest men, whether rich or
poor, there is one possession dearer than any other, and
that is honor. No right-minded man is indifferent to the
judgment of bis fellow-men; and, although the conscious
ness of right will sustain a man under the imputation
of wrong, even that will not tuke the sting from
the slander, nor tuako him careless of unauswernd
calumny. I have done this as a Rhode Islund
Senator, speaking in defense of Rhode Island, now
unjustly awaited on the floor where they eanuot speeak
for themselves, and where they and all others in the con
stituency to which they belong, have a right to expect
that I should spoak for them.
The tenate then proceeded to the consideration of ex
ecutive business.
THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
Kcnate.
HABRlFBTTTto, April 16. The Rpnat.fi hill reducinp;
the par value of the stock of the Philadelphia and
soutntrn Man eteamnnip company was pawed.
Also, the bill incorporating the Iturrcu Hill and
Hoxboroujfh Railway Coinpauy.
The vote ou the general militia bill, which was
postponed yesterday until next Jamittry, was recon
sidered, and after all the sections but the Hixth had
been stricken oat the bill paused. It now reads as
follows:
Be It enacted, etc., That the minimum for all vol
unteer military organizations of all anus of the ser
vice is nereoy nxed at inirty-two non-commumioncd
oQlcers and privates, except when called into actual
service, when the niluimum Bhull be the same un is
now required by law.
I tonne of Rrprewenlatlven.
The House bill reducing the width of Berks street
between Kuurth and Nxtli was defeated.
Mr. Nice moved to reconsider the vote by which an
act allowing parties to charge 7 per cent. Interest,
by special contract, had been defeated at un earlier
stage of the session. The vote was reconsidered,
but the bill was again defeated by 42 ayes to 4S nays.
The following bill passed both bouses finally this
morning, alter having been discussed and amended
at various times during the last few weeks:
"That the Treasurer of each county
shall keep a book, to be railed the re
ceipt book, In which shall be recorded the receipts of
all payments made to htm on account of taxes- paid
ou unseated lands, designating the number of acres,
warrantee named, aud name or names of owners or
aJhpeU owners of each tract of land, the township
where situate, and the amount of taxes paid, and
when aud by whom paid, a certiiied copy of which
receipt, under the hand of the treasurer, and the seal
of the county, shall be the only evidence of the pay
ment of taxes, except where said receipts have been
duly recorded In accordance with the provision of the
llnst section of act of lh March. 1847. That the
owners of unseated lands shall have two years from
the passage of this act within which to have their
receipts (or taxes on unseated lands recorded In said
book, where the same have not been already en
tered in a book heretofore kept by the treasurer of
the county for that purpose; that no parol evidence
shall be received to prove the payment of taxes on
nnseated lands.
The following bill has aluo passed both houses
finally:
That from and after the passage of this act It shall
not be lawful for any passenger railway company, or
their ofllcers, agents, employees, or any other person
or persons, to use salt on any passenger railway track
or street within the corporate;llnilts of Philadelphia,
and each violation of this act shall be a misdemeanor,
and shall subject the offender, after indictment and
conviction in the Court of Quarter rjessions of said
city, to a penalty not exceeding one thousand dollars,
or un imprisonment not exceeding six months, or
both, or either, at the discretion of said Court.
Luring the last few days various schemes have
been pressed upon the attention of the Legislature,
and eliortB were made to hurry through the passage
of a number of bills of at least a doubtful character.
By a tacit understanding among all the Philadel
phia members, no bills having any bearing upon tho
interests of the city were allowed to pass without
being read in full and subjected to a close examina
tion. The result has been to secure more care and
perhaps better legislation than for the last five years.
Not a single bill was allowed to pass by its number
or title, as is usual at this hurried stage of the ses
lons. The following bill has passed both honses :
That the councils of cities and boroughs in this
State be and they are hereby authorized to provide
for the inspection of milk under such rules and regu
lations as will protect the people from adulteration
and dilution of the same.
An act authorizing Herman school teachers to be
appointed in Oerman counties of this Htate at the
reuuest of one-third of the parents, was discussed.
Chaplain Edwards moved to amend by also teach
ing Welsh, Irish, and booteh. Mot agreed to.
Meeting of l'loar Dealer.
Chicago, April 15. A meeting of flour dealers
was held in this city last evening, for the pur
pose of discussing the propriety of estaJlishiux
a distinct grade of flour in addition to the pro
sent mode of Inspection, to be known an the
"Chicago standard." The following resolution
was adopted: That in the opinion of tho moet
ing for the establishment of graded, the selection
ot standard, extra, and superior are desirable, so
that whenever parties to trade so desire, flour
can be Inspected as sound, full weight, and equal
to such standard, If It can be accomplished
without Interfering with the present ' general ,
custom of inspection and trade.
