THE UTS PI TTD A H A. A VOL. IX. NO. 139. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 18G9. DOUBLE SHEET THREE CENTS. pjrjr FIRST EDITION GEORGE PEABODY. The Great Philanthropist on Our Rela tions with Great Britain No Pro bability of War Between the Two Nations. The New York KmlV reporter obtained an inter view with George Pcabody, Ksq., yesterday, who arrived on Tuesday Morning from England. Tin; conversation turned upon our relations with Great Britain, and the probabilities of war. It looks as though the article whleh theH'orM prints was merely gotten up for elrect as an offset to the popular criti cisms on Rcverdy Johnson's conduct, and Kngland's attitude relative to the Alabama claims question. Mill, Vi e give some portions of it : Hiiiiiner' hcccli. To the liinulry, "What was and Is the average opinion of Knglish statesmen and the English people f the merits of the present question between the United States and (treat Britain?" lie responded: "W ell, at llrst men In Knglaud accepted Simmer's speech as the utterance, us it were, of 'a man behind the throne.' They supposed that he spoke not only on behalf of the Senate and the radical party here, lint as a mouthpiece ol the administration Itself. This you know. because you have seen the evidence of it in the London newspapars, mid because it has infected nil the telegrams which have been Bent Irem London across the Atlantic." "Mr. Sumner's speech was, then, a surprise in England 7" "A surprise, certainly; though they wer prepared for gome audi expression by the rejection of the Johnson-Stanley treaty. Upon that treaty all Eng land was willing enough to stand. It had been long considered discussed in the most, public way, so that everybody understood what It was. It offended very few people, and there was a strong hope largely due to Mr. Johnson's confidence in the mat ter that the Senate would coutlrin it." Keverdy Johnson Lauded. "Mr. Johnson gained good opinions In England 7" "He was very much thought of. Nay, more: no American in his position could have taken a stronger hold npon the hearts, the affections, of Englishmen. They only thought (the thoughtful among them) t hat he was not discreet enough : that, lie was too confi dent; that he promised too much, as the sequel shows. Mr. Johnson came down to Brighton, where 1 was staying, and remained some time, and 1 be lieve I can testify to. the honesty and earnestness of his convictions and endeavors." Hark to First Principle AVns the Speech 'Hun combe " "PI I the sudden explosion of Sumner's bombastic bombshell produce an apprehension of war V "No. The Government was not led so far as to antlcipnte that; and even the journals which have talked the loudest didn't believe in any such proba bility. Their llrst instinct was, of course, to stilt'en the national spine, and let people on this side of the water know that there wasn't any willingness to be imposed upon in the modern nature of .John Hull. But no person of any consideration believed, from the lirst, that mtr could come of this dllllc.ulty. The commercial interests of the two countries are so interwoven and mutually dependent, that, for this reason alone, war was thought to be hardly pos sible." "Was all this loud talk by the KngJtsh press mere Bham talk?" "Oh no ; it wasn't altogether intended for that, be sure. It was in good part ami faith the interpreta tion of the real feeling of Englishmen. When you touch an Englishman's sense of honor, personal or national, you touch lilm in the tenderest place. He resents It. Every man in England would have been willing to resent, to the extremity of war, tho de mand which Sumner sought to get the administra tion to enforce. Mr. Bright, who was the last man I saw in London before I left (he lunched with me at 2 o'clock, and I left at 6), continued me in this im pression. Ami there Is no one there who has a more earnest allectlon for this country than has Mr. Bright. Neither he nor any Englishman could accept the preposterous theory of Sumner." "So Mr. Sumner, us I anticipate, has ceased to be the recognized expositor of American opinion in England?" "Decidedly. His speech, up to the time when I left, had come to be regarded as a speech made more for 'buncombe' than for anvthlng else. It was pretty well accepted as a bid by Sumner for popularitp. The disclaimers of the American press had produced a reaction. Several of the most eminent representa tive men in England, associated wltti every phase of politics there, whom I met, and who addressed me in writing lad ore my departure, assured mo of their conviction that Sumner's logic would not convince the majority on either side of tho Atlantic." The Attitude ol lCiiulntid. "With this conviction, what is the present attitude of the Hrltish Government and the English people ?" "They fold their arms. They 'rest on tliolr oars.' They considered that the Johnson-Stanley treaty conceded everything that Great Britain ought to concede. They will go no farther in the way of con cession. They trust that the United States Govern ment will go no further in the way of demands, 'i hey have no sympathy with the radical party in this country (I speak of the majority of Englishmen), bu they repose some confidence In the good sense of the present ailminlstrat ion. They were prepared to re gard Mr. Motley's advent as a peaceful one. (I did not see. Mr. Motley, whom I know. The steamer in Which I came out passed his, arriving.)" "Mr. Motley was not expected to make any defi nite further demand 7" "That was hit impression." "How about (ireat Britain ?" "The British government will make no proposal. The whole matter, so far as (ireat Britain is con cerned, remains an open question. She abides In the principle of the Johnson-Stanley treaty, as before. Against any unreasonable exaction beyond that basis, 1 believe she would resolve to fight." reiibody'n London Ctinrillcn - What ha Al ready Jlceii Done. The conversation then turned upon Mr. Peabody's London charities, lie said: "Four houses in all have been erected, and a fifth building Is under way. The four houses contain about 1800 rooms, and accommodate about 2'Zoo people. All the rooms are occupied. The average rent of a room is about 2s. per week ; of two rooms 6s. per week according to size, etc. Tho expense of erecting and maintaining these buildings, thus far, has been less than j15u.(mo, which leaves 2t0,0U0 untouched, Including accumulated interest and rents. Koine detrimental and ignorant reports have placed the architects' fees at an enormous figure. The fact is that the whole sum of archi tects' fees, up to the present time, iius amounted to not more than 3iMio, on all buildings erected and all lands purchased. The expense of the whole concern, Including the pay of tho secre tary and agents, does not amount to more than jCfiuo or jCBtio a year. It is managed economically, for the sole, exclusive lienelltof Hie industrious poor, for whom it was designed. Neither myself nor tho trustees receive a dollar of income from it. It Is reproductive entirely. The rents and Interest are intended to be perpetually applied to the purpose for which the oilginul sum was designed. Two houses, simitar to those already built, will soon bo put up. In the course of a century this fund and the revenue derived from it ought to provide homes for tho poor f all London. The enterprises of Miss Coutts and of, Waterloo arc conduced on an entirely different basis. Miss Coutts' market-house at Bethnal Green is not a purely charitable institution. Every stall In that building is rented by Hie lady on her own account." To the que? tion how his American charities had operated, the philanthropist replied that they were uperating to his complete satisfaction In every re upeot. Ho considered them the most beneficent of investments In their wav. Mr. l'cabodv proceeded to state that he had given away altogether fT.onO.Wio.

To the Editor of the Chicago Itepublican: Your Washington correspon dent ".eta," in hlB letter printed in your paper of to day, says that "the friends of Mr. Colfax are re ported to have received haters frt.m htm, or from parties who accompanied him on his last tour, which complain a good deal of the growing dissatis faction with the administration on the part of a large number of Republicans on account of many of Its appointments," and follows this with some insinu ations as to the supposed benefit to result to me personally by "casting a shadow" upon General Grant. As long as this effort to create a suspicion of un friendliness between the president and myself was contliied to Democratic, papers, I deemed it un worthy of notice; but when a Republican corres pondent of a prominent Republican paper follows the bad example, and publishes under the thin fulse of "reported" allegations on which to base It, ns k tills brief space In your columns to expose it as the calumny that it Is. ft There never has been, and is not now, the shadow of a skade of such unfriendliness on either side. I have written no letter or letters to any one at Wash ington or elsewhere speaking of any dissatisfaction of any kind with the administration. Nay, more than this, to those who have complained to me about appointments, I have replied that if General Grant hail been inspired and Infallible, he could not even then have satisfied a tithe of the vast number of applicants, because there were twenty times ns many persons who desired and rctillydcserved appointments as there were olllccs to bestow. "The parties who accompanied me on my late tour" were my wife and sister only; and they have written no such letters. Tho whole story Is a weak Invention of simie enemy, wlio has probably deceived your correspondent ' with It. Indeed, the very reverse of this charge Is proven by recent speeches of mine, reported in Chicago papers. At the I'acilic Railroad celebration there, May 10, 1 said (quoting only what shows the annum of my remarks): "Who now presides so faithfully over the nation which, under Providence, lie saved, Ulysses S. Giant," "With that stern, inflexible, that outspoken main tenance of our rights, and of our vindication from wrong, that has characterized since the 4th of March the Hdministratuiu of Ulysses S. Grant," And In a speech at Springlleld, 111., May 20, "on his late tour," In response to a public reception, I spoke warmly and cordially of "the President's emphatic declaration that the Government must be adminis tered with economy, that the revenues must lie faith fully conceded, even if ho had to remove oltlcer after oitlcer;" of the respect he commanded for our nation abroad by his bold, frank, outspoken American po licy, and of tils determination to conduct our rela tions with foreign nations by the inspired principle of the Golden Rule. Others iiave preferred, as they have a right to do. to point out. what they deem subject to criticism ns erroneous or unwise. But believing that the Presi dent has striven to do all for the best, I have chosen rather to direct public attention to what I thought all good citizens had a right to rejoice over and com mend. Respectfully, yours, ., Schuyler Colfax. ? SHOCK IX(! TKAGEDV A IHnn Kills his Wife with a ( lob. Says the Plttsbtirg Com.mtre.ial of yesterday: A horrible murder occurred Monday forenoon. about eight milea from West Newton, Westmoreland county. A well-known farmer, in a moment of sud den passion or insanity, fractured his wife s skull with a huge club. It appears, from all the information we were able to obtain, that the murderer, whose name is Samuel Morrow, is a resident of South Huntington township, Westmoreland county. On Monday afternoon he was at work in a Held near the house with his sou, w ho Is a vounir mail about eighteen Tears of aire. Mr. Morrow left the Held and went to the house about ten o'clock, and soon after the young man heard his mother screaming "murder." On rushing Intg the house he found her lying on the kitchen floor, and his father beating her in a terrible manner with a large club. The young mail interiered ami endeavored to wrest the club from the hands of his enraged father, lint was unsuc- cesslul, the old gentleman being a powerfully-built man, while the boy was slightly built, and was obliged to retreat before the attacks of the huge club. He ran for asslstance.but. before he returned the cries ol tne poor woman nad ceased, and sin; was found lying on tins floor, life being extinct. There were a large number of bruises on her body, and her skull was fractured by a terrillc blow in the back of the Head. The murderer had escaped, and It is supposed fled acrofs the fields to the woods. The allair produced a great excitement in the township, and twenty-live men turned out to hunt the murderer, but hs yet he lias succeeded in eluding arrest, lie had no hat or coat on at the time he left the house. Mr. Morrow as a man about llfty-flve years of age, ami It Is stated about two years ago showed symptoms of insanity, but was supposed to have entirely recovered. No motive, unless it, be insanity, is known for the commission of the horrible murder. A MAI) HORSE. Another Phase of Hydrophobia. The West. Chester (Pa.) Jteimblican of yesterday says: On Saturday last ahorse owned by Sewell Chambers, acolored man, living in Thornbury town ship, was sel.ed with hydrophobia. The animal had been connned in a (lent near Darlington s comer, but by some means got out of the enclosure into the public road. It attacked a team belonging to Wil liam Fafrell, who was engaged in hauling stone to the railroad. The driver of the team succeeded In driving off the mad animal, and It is not believed that it injured any ol the noises uttaciied to the team. When the lit was off the poor brute would become very weak stagger and fall. Wheu the spasms returned it would again rise and attack everything In its road. Several per sons were chased on to the tavern porch, and one individual narrowly escaped being bitten. In its rage to bite, its own tongue was nearly niiieu on. Tne animal was tinaiiv se cured in a lot, where it died during the night, in great agony. It was a valuable horse, ami was used by Mr. Chambers iu threshing grain, with a machine, through the neighborhood. What is still more terri ble to contemplate, is the fact that this horse is sup posed to have been bitten by a do lielonglng to Mr. l.lliis Baker, mat was tnougtitto be mad, and bit. two persons some three weeks since an account of which was published in this paper. This supposition is sirenginened ny tne laor, mat Mr. Bakers dog bit two other dogs on the farm of Mr. George Kaucett, where tho horse was kept. The dogs of Mr. Kaucett were killed Immediately after. The two young men who were bitten, as well us their immediate friends. ure much distressed over these facts; but it is hoped that the means resorted to in their cases will prove eneciuui agumtjt tms niuiauy. ARTIFICIAL ICE One of tho Industrial actlvlti is of New Orleans is the artificial production of ice In large quantities. The process Is of Kronen inven tion, and the success which has attended tho opera tions or the manufactory has exceeded thu expecta tions of the proprietors. The ice la said to possess many advantages over Northern ice. It is more w holesome, they say, because made of Mississippi water. It is colder. That Is to say. machinery out does nature in muking ice that is long in melting. The secretary of the Ice company lately made a wager with the largest of the Ice-shipping houses of Boston as to the superiority of their respective speci mens, and the experiment was made with blocks of the same size under equal exposure. The maiiu lactured lee outlasted the imported article. We are not Informed what the test was, but us the parties "adjourned to the I'ellerln Restaurant," we may reasonably Infer that wine was the solvent. The in cident was gratifying, ami it may lie hoped that the good people of New Orleans will hereafter keep cool. C.I! A NT'S CABINET The visit of tho Hon. John ('. Bre klnridge to Wisconsin is to look alter laud which he owns iu the northern count lea of the State, ami In considerable quantities. Mr. Brcckliirldge appears to tie an affable gentleman, and was the centre of attraction at the Newhall recently. Several of the old Democratic wheel-horses visited lilm at his room and had a talk with him. One gen tleman asked him what lie thought of Grant ami his administration, and the reply was that the President was smart enough to tuke care of himself. Uis Cabi net while none of the best, was just such a one as Grunt needed, and was better for his purposes than one of more talent would be. It was not designed to make the administration a Vrilllant one, anil Grant's ambition was to make it an every-day sort of useful allair He was studvlng the best way to do this, ami Mr. Breckinridge believed ho would succeed in a degree sutticlent to make the people fee easy, although they would be by lio uieaus aatlsucd.

Washington, June 10 Startling rumors prc- vntled here this mornintj'conecniliij; a railroad accident near tho Annapolis junction, on thu road to Baltimore, to the train on which the Trodden t was a passenger. The accident occurred about twenty minutes to 10 o'clock last niglit. On Inquiry the facts were ascertained to be as follows: The lcH'oniotivc ran against a cow, and before the train passed the cow was thrown down, with licr legs under tho wheels of the baggage car. The latter and the two front passenger cars were thrown off tho track. These cars were over turned and shattered, and the passengers thrown promiscuously. Much excitement naturally pre vailed, nnd measures were immediately taken to extricate the passengers from their perilous situation. The ears when they left Washington were In the following order: After the two first cars were the chair car, the sleeping cars, and the President's ear. In the List-nanid were the President, his wife, nnd two children; M. Cra mer, the son-in-law of the President, and his wife, and Secretary Boutwcll. No one was iujurcd on the cars in the rear of tho two front passenger ears, but on these ten or twelve persons were cut and bruised, several severely. So far as known none were fatally injured". Four passengers who received bruises returned this morning to Washington. Several of tho others remained in the viciuity of tli ac cident, and others proceeded northward. As soon as information of tho disaster reached Washington relief was despatched to tho scene, nnd after a delay of five hours other cars were substituted for those damaged, and the train reached Baltimore in tiino to connect with tho early morning Northern train from that city. The above account is based on information re ceived hcrejby tho railroad authorities, but the. passengers who have returned to this city repre sent the nccident as far more appalling and seri ous. One of them says that at least 20 persons were injured. One from Georgia had his face buttered completely out of shape, and wa-t picked up senseless, weltering in gore. It is not probable lie will recover. Not only were the first two passenger cars completely de stroyed, but the two immediately iu the rear of them were damaged. These curs were thrown violently together. The passengers in the after ears were startled by the screams of the wounded. One man had lils leg broken. Special ears were despatched from Baltimore and Washington for tho relief of the sufferers. The surgeons sewed up tho heads of a number of persons, and set tho limbs requiring such services, besides rendering other necessary professional olliccs. There is now no obstruction to travel. FROM NEW YORK. Destructive Fires. NeVv YonK, June 10. The cabinet factory of Killiau Brothers, in West Thirty-second street, was burned last night. A carpet-eleanlnj es tablishment, A.

Progress of the Insurrcction-Tlic Patriots I(e-cotfiii-s.cd by Chili. Itnenos Ayres, nnd Peru. Ry steamer, which arrived at New York from South America yesterday, we have some important intelligence. Three of the South American repub lics have publicly expressed their sympathy with tho Cuban patriots, und have also accorded them belli gerent rights. The following extracts from corres pondence are interesting In this connection: Recognition by Chili. A Valparaiso letter, dated May 9, says: In reply to the demand, thu other day, of Senor Lastairiaas to what line of conduct the Ooverument Intended to pursue in the present state of affairs iu Cuba, and if anything had been done iu favor of the struggling patriots, the Minister stated that the Gov ernment had not recognized the independence of Cuba, because It was not yet an accomplished fact; that to acknowledge the Independence of a people was neither more nor less than to ultlrm the exist ence of a fact, and that to forestall events bv a pre mature declaration was to run the risk of taking a false step. Rut as tho cause which the Cubans were upholding was the same for which the Southern Re publics had fought, tins Government had lost no time In recognizing them as belligerents. The recognition was made In a note addressed by the Minister of Foreign Relations to General Cespe des, in the beginning of April. Two bills were Introduced in aid of Cuba, the fol lowing by Senor Matta, which whs rejected by a vote of !2'J nays against 23 yeas: WUerea, The cause of the Spanish West Indies is the cause of chili und of America, who but lately Invoked their rights and In terests, inciting their Inhabitants to rise against the Spanish Government, the Chamber of Deputies be lieves that chili ought to do all iu her pover to a-isist tile revolutionists, ami to Insure the success of their present attempt tit emancipation. Senor Makenna's lull runs as follows, and was passed by a vote of M yeas and 1 nay: The Cham ber of Deputies desires that as soon an the military events that lire now transpiring In the Island (if Cuba shall have placed her territory in the statu of independence required by the prescriptions of inter national law, the Government of Chill shall at once recognize the Independence of that people under the republican form which its Provisional Govern ment has assumed. Recomiition by Itnenos Avres. In South American dates brought to Panama on the 2Htti, It is reported on good authority that the Republic of ISuenos Ayres has recognized' the Cub-m patriots as belligerents. The Buenos Ayres Stumlnrd of the nth of April, received yesterday, in its sum mary for readers abroad, says: The Independence of Cuba has become a question In the River Platte press. All the principal news papers take part with the Cubans In their struggle, and urge upon tho National Government the pulley of recognizing the Independence of thu island, and the revolutionary forces as belligerents. Recognition bv Peru. Jose Balta, President of the Republic of Peru, on the 13th of May promulgated thu following de cree : Jose Balta, Constitutional President of the Repub lic of Peru, considering that the Insurrection iu Cuba against the Government of Spain has for Its object the Independence of the island, and that the politi cal connection between tho two parties Is severed, and that the two parties are waging war for an Im portant political end, It should be considered and treated bv other nations In accordance with the prin ciples of International law. Considering that the peo ple and Government of Peru sympathize with the noble cause proclaimed by the Cubitus; considering that the Captain-General of the liberating army of Cuba has asked the recognition as belligerents of the political party whom he commands, and considering that, without prejudice to the sympathy that Peru may manifest, and the Interest that the cause of the Cubans may Inspire, she ought, before anything else, to recognize the political condition of t lie insurgents, as not to consider them as subjects of a government that is In a state of war with Peru, I therefore de cree: First. That the Government of Peru recog nizes as belligerents the political party that are struggling for the Independence of Cuba. Second. '1 he citizens, vessels, and till other property in the service of tho eimso of Independence will be re spected as that of friends of Peru. Third. The Min ister of Foreign Relations Is Intrusted with the exe cution of this decree, and will cause It to be pub lished and promulgated. Josh Balta, President. F. A. Bakkanechea, Secretary of Foreign Re alioiis. Horrible Spniiisli Atrocities. Pays Havana correspondence Just received : From time to time, we who are not accustomed to heur of scenes of barbarlsui and Spanish Inquisition are startled by reading some account of an outrage more than Inhuman committed by the factions in the Held.

The I-ondon Time, alter having resolutely de fended the good faith of the British Government In its course towards the I'nited States during the late war, Is willing to concede that tho Messrs. Laird were morally guilty of the acts for which we hold tho English nation responsible. The recnt. diplo matic collision has struck outjsuch spurns of truth as are contained in the follow ing: It will not escape the notice of the publio that though the builders of the Alabama confined them selves prudently to the terms of their contract, although they sold and delivered stniplv an empty ship, and kept themselves aloof from all the proceed ings which ultimately turned her Into a man-of-war, they did. nevertheless, know thev were building a ship for the Confederate Navy, and that they had de livered her Into the hands of those who would com plete her for Its service, it Is likewise admitted that, though Mr. Laird, the member for Birkenhead, was not actually at that time a partner In the linn, he also knew of the building of the Alabama, and of the purposes for which she was built. It is claimed that the absence of anv law providing for such a state of facts exonerates her Mulesty's ministers from all blame. They were perfectly will ing to execute any statutes relating to the matter, but finding none to meet these precise circum stances, were necessarily obliged to allow the Messrs. Laird a free course. The Time aura fur ther: We cannot but see, ns constituting a kind of case against ourselves, that, notwithstanding all Messrs. I alms' disclaimers, nobody doubted the real desti nation of the vessel they were building. That she was designed for a vessid of war was never ho much us disguised ;that she was Intended for the service i f the Confederates was universally understood. (Mllclal inspectors and private spies were watching her, and were enabled to watch her day aft-r day. It docs little good to prove the publicity of all these proceedings, for In fact there w as no need of secrecy. So long hi the vessel was neither armed nor equipped she did not come under the cognizance of the law, but everybody did suspect her, and the suspicions were certainly well founded. PAINFUL RU.MOK. Reported Loss of the Oeenn Sleninshlii City of Paris Latest News UeuanliiiK ller. Says the New York Timeot this morning: A report was current last evening to tha ell'ect that the steamship City of Paris, of the Inmnn line, w hich satled on Saturday afternoon for Liverpool nnd (ueenstown, had foundered at sea, anil that the passengers and crew had been lost, she carried 170 cabin and 2uo steerage passengers. As most of the passengers on board the vessel were residents of this city, great anxiety was natu rally manifested to learn thu truth of the rumor in relation to the loss of the steamer. Inquiries were made nt the olllce of the Inmnn Steamship Line, when the Superintendent, Mr. Nicholson, said there was no truth whatever in the reports in regard to the destruction of the vessel. Inquiries elsewhere failed to indicate even the origin of the report, which, had it reached here by any vessel arrived since Saturday, would surely have had an endorser. , It is said that tho steamship Gcrmnnla, which ar rived at this port this morning, had spoken the city of Paris, and that the vessel was iu good condition and all were well on board. Among the passengers by the City of Paris were Judge Connolly and daughter, General C. C. An drews and wife, Jay S. Howard. Consul to Leg horn, wife, and child. General Clietlaln.

Of course three is no normal state of the money market which accounts for this increased activity. The advance iu the Interest rate and the tightness of the money market are simply artilielal and the result of locking up greenbacks by the cliques. The fact shows the wonderful power which they possess.
