A hj.1l.vnr in trnnxtnlirrAtlon Of SOlllS WOtlld haVO had no difficulty lu explalnliut bib rau wxu rurrlnfr In the canine hostile n that eventful nl Half a hundred throats harked, yelped, snarled, howled The "first iUit" sat and, with none eleva hail no difficulty lu explaining the various scenes oc- anil uvated, iwmred forth a Kitsh of ineiony. it was, iransimgru- Wllv speaking, the spirit of some long deceased inirer mourning the wretched fate which was about to overtake its tenement. In the long howl one could almost detect "When a body meets aliody;" but the notes are overpowered by the sonorous growl of the dog of Smoky Hollow, "Need aliody cry.'' The eluitfpy one. Is possessed of an evil spirit, possibly that of some dead and gone Schuylkill Hunger. He scorns to dissemble and hates a coward, be It male or female, anil growls defiantly at fate and his tuneful compa nion. A sneaking cur betrays his origin by rolling In the water-trough and trying to squeeze through the tars of the gate; he wus a burglar, and remembers old tricks. Yet another, in whom hope Is strong, prowls about seeking what he may devour where withal to support, his sooii-to-be-eniled life. An old poodle lies carefully biting her toe nails an old maid who, even in death, would look well. The semi-bled bloodhound tarn Is looking through the bars at the moon a prodigal son reelecting on his evil wuys, and mut tering to himself "Of all the thoughts of tongue or pen, The saddest Is, It might havelieen." The little rat-terrier in the corner had been on a midnight carousal, and, like an old sport an he Is, nits waiting In the firm belief that the morning will bring his bail and freedom again. The tall, slouching eld mockery of a wolf-dog looks as though ho was reciting the prayers for the flying, lint there Is one contrast the nonchalant chap at the gate, who turns his ears and eyes towards the keeper, and explains as plainly as he can how he wouldn't care a eoutlnviital if he only had a cigar. THK I'KRPAKATIONS. At 8 o'clock, when the few of the doomed who nave been able to secure a little rest are roused, the executioners appear and prepare for their duty. Iu the pen set aside for slaughter,from a Joist dangles a noose, and on pegs hang two clubs, neatly turned. They are each about four feet long, and fashioned nearly the same as base-ball clubs. The executioners, armed with these, make ready. Their determination is that "If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly." Joseph Henry is present, and so is Orler, the policeman in charge. The noose is examined, the clubs taken lu hand, and the dogs V lilted, TOR EXECUTIONS. The executioners go Into the dog pen, and the first half dozen are let iu to the slaughter house. Jack Ketch Mo. 1 wields Ills club ferociously, and a little dog. unsuspecting, receives a preliminary thump ou the head; but It 1 snltlclent; It killed him. A larger brute, he of Hmoky Hollow, is saared, the noose put about his neck, anil he is hauled to the gallows tree; the end of the rope is thrown over the Joist, anil Smoky Hollow Jumps up. A deputy seizes his heels and gives him a tremendous jerk downwards. An other deputy belabors the back of his head ; It Is "die dog or swallow a club down the back of your neck," and he dies. The next victim has witnessed the preceding performances, and knows his doom. He ts a sagacious little fellow, and, raising his paws, seems to say, "Mr. Catcher, 1 could a tail unfold, and wag It, too, but" a whuck on his nose sends 111 iu down defunct Another dog, roped, is brought iu with visage dejected and tall hidden. When the cord Is tightened on his neck he howls fearfully, but ins neeis are seized, nis neck urokcu, tne uiuus plied, and he too is lowered away, dead. The ruling passion strong In death' was evidenced In tlic case of the " 'ansoin puru." He hadn't been brought up on South street for nothing, and when his turn came he made up his mind to die lighting. In vain the executioners coaxed. Hacked into a corner, he showed his teeth and growled. The rope is thrown and settles round his neck. A savage blow of the club Is administered and, vengeance was merciful ami gave him a speedy death. The next batch walk in as though chanting a 'miserere" to themselves, and they all die with prayers on their lips. Other dogs, with more acute Bess, held back for the last momtUt. They probably expected Mr. Wain, but he came not, find lu tlilrty llve minutes llfty dogs lay dead on the lloor. The executioners poke about amongst them for signs of life, but the last spark has lied. No more will these denizens of "down town" roam In search of bones. They have given their last snarl, made the last fur fly. Koaming about unmuzzled, they were given bad names and accordingly died. It was fully expected that some of the mem oers of the Anti-Cruelty to Animals Asso ciation would have been present and taken wmie action In the matter, for It really Hceins a brutal way of getting rid of our canines, this choking them Into (its and then belaboring them with sticks. But doubtless the dogs are satisfied, though many cannot but grieve that the sin so much sharper than a serpent's tooth should have developed Itself in their masters. However, they have passed away, and many more will follow. So mote it be. ornKK ruEY. Yesterday morning the catchers visited West Phila delphia on a goat-trapping tour, ami returned with tweuty-Blx nannies and their kids. This lias excited the Ire of the Hibernian population of West Philadel phia, and all day long men aim women pestered the pound-keeper. The old women fumed and raved of poverty, Injustice, and the nagurs, bestowing curses ngni aim leu in oeautnui prolusion. This batch of goats, if not let loose bv the breakin open of the pound, and this has been threatened, will lie soiu at auction on to-morrow aiiernoon. Police Appointments This morning the follow.

Wnll Street Kxncrl-nrr Another Mm win of J'.Hrltetnrnt-A Hanking Firm Decamp with Only 70,0IO. ...... Wall street has received another sensation in the shape of defaulting business men; but such things have ceased to tie a novelty, and therefore the little stir they cause Is soon forgott-en, except by the vic tims of the defaulters. The Messrs. Scott A Munsen have been engaged In the storage business for a little over a year, during which time they had ac quired the confidence of many of tho most promi nent business men. They occupied six stores on the north pier of the Atlantic, Docks, lirooklyn, and had their office, at No. 91 Wall street. During the last two months they have had an unusual large quantity of grain In store, most of It the property of grain merchant of this city. Last week the firm sold a large uuantlty of grain', and also delivered a very large quantity, which consisted In part of the grain owned by other persons who had sold It. It Is now supposed that the fraudulent sales of grain have been carried on lor some weeks. Several of the mer chants who owned grain on storage had effected loans on It through the United States Warehouse Company and the New York Uuarantee and Indem nify Company. When the agents of these compa nies visited the stores to Inspect the grain, they were shown grain that was said to belong to the merchants eilecting the loans. Whether this was so or not matters not, as every bushel has been sold by the dishonest linn, and the pro ceeds gone no one knows where. The above-named companies do not lose anything by tho defalcation, as Uiey are secured bv the persons to whom they made the advances. The loss in these particular Instances Is about (20,000. Several merchants, how ever, have lost considerably by the dishonesty of the absconding parties, but no details of their losses can be ascertained, as they positively refuse to make it known. The heaviest loser Is Mr. Van Noslraud, the well-known confectioner. This gentleman was formerly a partner with the Messrs. Scott ft Munsen, and had the most Implicit confidence lu them. He states that he formed a copartnership with them In order to establish a good business for bis brother-in-law, who was then under age. Shortly after the copartnership was formed, the brother-in-law died, and Mr. Van Nostrum! having every confidence in the Integrity and honesiv of Scott Munsen. left with them the . '.0,0011 hi; had put Into tint busi ness as capital. He also made himself responsible for the rent of the stores, and In every way helped the lirm to become established on a solid basis. The sequel shows their base Ingratitude to him and others who placed conllilence in them. No Intelli gence of the whereabouts of either Scott or Munsen has yet been published. Mr. Van Noslrand has ob tained a warrant for their arrest, but has taken 110 active steps to clfect their capture. He states that before he engages detectives to hunt them up, he will, If possible, ascer tain whether they have the money with them or not, as he thinks he has lost money enough already, without going to anv further expense, unless there is a possibility of Ills getting back some of that of which he has been defrauded. They were both seen n the street on Saturday, nnd It Is thought that they left by a lute train on Saturday night, as nothing has been seen of them since that day. iloth were young men and of unblemished reputation previous to the defalcation. Scott is a married man and was formerly for many years a clerk with the Messrs. Lalmbeer. Pinto ft Co., storage merchants, Atlautic Docks. MunsenJIs unmarried and was a clerk for many years at the Atlantic Docks with Mr. tlreeu leaf. It Is believed that thuy were tempted to engage in the fraudulent sale of grain In consequence of having made lately several unfortunate specula tions which very much embarrassed their bnsiness. GRIMES. Tlint ";ood Old Mnn" Is Ilenrd From Again. Suialley, the London Tribune correspondent, writes on the lath of this month: Mr. Senator Grimes is at his old work of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, the enemy being in this case not Audrcw Johnson but the party in England thut hates America. The letter in the Time of May 12, signed "An American Citi zen," may, I suppose, be assumed t be Mr. Grimes' production, being dated from the lodging-house where he Is staying. He writes apparently with the object of belittling Mr. Sumner's speech, which he describes as expressing Mr. sunnier s views only, and published at his own request, and against the wish of the Senate, or at least wniiout any oesire oemg expressed by anybody else for the removal of the Injunction of secrecy, lie assures the lmtisn public that tho sole grievance of America is the escape of the Alabama, aim tne conuai reception ana support uitcrwurds given her iu Kngllsh ports; resentment at the re cognition 01 tne Keuel belligerency, und the sym pathy shown with the South being only "the embellishment of the advocate and orator." Now, if these things are true, It may be all right to say so; but If they are true, then what all the newspapers In America have been saying for the bust six months is not true; and as between Mr. Grimes on the one hand, and the Whole American press on the other, I am inclined to believe the latter. It Is only just to Mr. Grimes to say thut his letter Is animated by the most pacific sentiments, aim to some pans 01 it no objection need be made, lint It is, unluckily, conceived in the Iteverdy Johnson vein, and we are by no means in need of amateur or volunteer successors to that departing speech-maker. Moreover, Mr. Crimes ought to know that he commits a folly in writing to The Ti,ien at all. There are special cases, where the eminence of the writer, as in Mr. Motley's case, early iu the war, compels Tim Tiitim to print a letter damaging to itself and to the suti-Aineiican Fine, 01 w inch it was and Is the 1111 scrupulous partisan. Put with those rare excep tions. The y'iHci publishes only such American hitters as it thinks likely to injure the cause they are meant to defend. It has printed Mr. Grimes's letter for that reason and chuckles over It to-day. ItosiMtcd. In its description of the explosion of an immense gasometer, the Cincinnati Commercial says: The most terrible feature of the ailair was a spec tacle towards which ten thousand blanched faces of the crowd which collected were upturned that of a large, powerful, naked man, block and blue aud red in blotches, who had been at work on the frame of the holder, and w ho still sat on one of the pillars. The man hud been roasted alive, und yet he lived, and moved a little, and retained his consciousness, us lie cowered there, in a corner, ou the base of the capital of one of those tall uud stately monuments. He was waiting for relief. He felt that he was grow ing weak, uud might not long be able to hold himself there, and he called plteously to those who were bringing the ladders to hurry up. He wanted to reach the ground and see his wife and three children, whose terrible anguish he felt and knew. And so this fearfully suffering man, whose mutilated trunk und limbs were thrown out in bold relief against the shining blackness of the tarred uud painted angle of ornumeutul iron work, waited there, llfty feet or more above the ground, while a long ladder of the Fire Department was elevated to him. The crowd shuddered uud wondered as they looked there und suw this nuked, dying muu slowly raise himself to a standing position, as he leaned against the column, climb over the latticed brace (for the ladder wus ou tin; other side and then, in his great strength and endurance, uctuully descend us w ould u lireinan, only quite slowly uud with a man preceding linn to steady his steps.

Nf.w Vohk, May U7. The Mellenry penury case was liefnro the United States Circuit Court this afternoon. 'William Orton, President of tho Western I'nion Telegraph Company, bcin-r called lv the defense, testified that lie win re tained by 1'ikc to effect the release of I'ikcs establishment, and 11 settlement of tlie charges made nirainst him by Collector Hailey; that he was retained on account of his experience In lcnul points touchinir the internal revenue: that the matter was settled by Pike's paying 70,000 Into court through him (OrtoiO; and that witness never paid the fJovernnicnt ollieers anything to have tliis or that matter settled. The case was then adjourned until Friday. The rrcsliylcrinn Asuemliliei, this morning agreed on 11 basis of union. The anion shall he effected on the doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis of our common standards. Tho Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments shall be acknowledged t be the InspircdWord of God, nnd the only infallible rule of facts and practice. The confession of faith shall continue to be sincerely received and adopted, as contain ing the system of doctrine taught. The FlolyScrip tures and tho government and discipline of tho Presbyterian Church In the United States shall bo approved as containing the principles and rules of our polity. Each of the said assemblies shall submit the foregoing basis to its Presbyte ries, which shall be required to meet on or be fore the 15th day of October 1800, to express their approval or disapproval of the same. The Presbyterian churches in the United States of America, that whose General Assembly convened in the Brick Church iu the city of New York on the 20th day of May, 1800, nnd that whose General Assembly met in the Church of the Covenant in said city ou the same day, shall be reunited as one Church, under the name and style of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, possessing all tho legal and corporate rights and powers pertaining to the Church, previous to the division in 1838, and all tho legal and corporate rights and powers which the separate churchos now possess; tho General Assemblies now sitting shall, after finishing their business, adjourn to meet in the city of Pitts burg on tho second Wednesday of November, 1869, at 11 o'clock A. M. If the two General Assemblies shall then find and declare that the above named basis of re union has been approved by two-thirds of tho presbyteries connected with each branch of the Church, then the same shall he of binding force, and tho two assemblies shall take action accord ingly. Dr. Musgrovc then made a few explanatory remarks, lie said it was the only conceivable basis on which he was willing to vote for a re union. The others have added sotnething, or have been ambiguous. This embodies the sound doctrine of Calvinism, from which he was not willing to swerve. FROM WASHING TOJV. Tlie Trensmry 1'rintinK. Despatch to The, Evening Telegraplu Washington, May 27. 11.
