from an Occaiimul CorrriHntlint.
Montreal, Canada, July 0. With a full
train of passengers wc loft the Fulls Monday
morning for Lcwlston, tlicueo took the steamer
City of Toronto to Toronto, and were transferred
to the steamer Passport. Wc found the greater
part of It already tukoti possession of by "her
Majesty's troops," a detachment of tin Royal
29th, who were going to (juclxa and the West
Indies. This so crowded the hint that but little
room was left us to move around in. Wo felt
imposed upon, as the agents at the Falls and in
New York had promised ample accommodations
of berths and state-rooms, anil we thought that
soldiers might have been sent by an extra con
veyance, so as not to Interfere wilh hundreds of
visitors to their inconvenience. We enjoyed the
sail down the lake through tin- day, but a num
ber, including onr party, not li' iug able, to ob
tain any sleeping accommodations, left the boat
at Cobourg, having a night's rest there, and next
day took the (irand Trunk 10 Kingston. We
had a delightful drive for miles around the
town, which is finely situated at, the lower end
of Lake Ontario.
There is a lack of thrift about all t!iec Cana
dian towns apparent at once to a traveller. 1
was told by a lifLcen years' resident that King
ston had not progressed any during that time.
There is no reason why it should not improve,
its situation and natural advantages being great.
But the restrictions of the Government, high
duties, heavy taxes, and Imposition on stran
gers ami Americans passing through, retard its
growth materially. Lately they have been in fear
o a Fenian rising here, and many families have
kept watch night and day. There is no danger,
us far as we could sec, of anything of the kind,
but the least rumor will excite and frighten some
timid people. If it were not for the matter of
pride, I believe the majority of the population
in the Canudas would bo willing, if not anxious,
for annexation to the United States. It would
be the best thing that could happen to them, and
would make Canada a very different country
from what it is at present.
Leaving Kingston early yesterday morning in
the fine steamer Corinthian, we had a splendid
sail through thcJSt. Lawrence. The "Thousand
Islands" were everything we anticipated in beauty
and constant change of scene; they extend for
about fifty miles, in some places were very close
together, covering the surface of the wide river
in all directions, and appearing as if they floated
upon the water. We were sorry not to be able
to Btop at Alexandria Bay, and spend a day or
two in' fishing and rowing about among the
charming islets. Gannanoquc, Brockville, I'res
cott, Cornwall, and other places touched at on
the Canada side, all appeared as dilapidated and
antique as if the improving hand of man had not
touched them in the last century. Ogdensburg
is a thriving New York town, and showed a great
contrast to l'rescott, its "tw-n-ois."
The passages through the different rapids,
there being eight of them, were very exciting to
us all. The principal ones are Long Sault,
Cotcau, Cedar, Cascade, and La Chine. At the
first the noisy billows and breakers made me
feel as if I was on the broad ocean in a heavy
gale, the spray of the big waves dashing to our
upper deck. These rapids continue for about
nine miles, though it requires but a few minutes
for us to rush through. The Cedar and Cascade
. rapids were almost as good, though they were
shorter. But the grand excitement was in going
through the La Chine rapids, just before ending
our voyage. The captain agreeably disappointed
us all, as he had told many he would have to go
through the canal on account of having troops
on board. We passed the steamer Grecian, sunk
in Cascade rapids not long ago. Sho had a regi
ment of soldiers on board, some of whom were
drowned, and as the Queen does not care to lose
her property in this reckless manner, all troops
were ordered to be sent through the canal in
stead of these last rapids, the most dangerous
of all.
But we were all overjoyed to see the Indian
pilot awaiting us in his canoe in mid stream to
guide us safely through Scylla and Charybdis.
We went down the Lachiue handsomely at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, approaching within
a few feet on either side of huge rocks, to have
struck one of (.which would have been our death
blow. But our boat was handled skilfully, and
it is very seldom an accident occurs.
Wc now came in sight of the mammoth "Vic
toria Bridge," an iron tubular structure for the
Grand Trunk Railroad. Wc had a good view of
the entire bridge, which is a mile and a half
long, supported by twenty-six piers and abut
ments solidly built of granite, and will last for
ages. We gracefully glide under the centre
span, and admire the mighty work the more the
nearer we approach it.
E On the steamer with us were the 13th Royal
Hussars, the same regiment that was in the charge
at Balaklava immortalized by Teunysou. Several
of the men had medals, showing the' were the
survivors of that dreadful day, and a blooded
marc, a noble animal, the only horse that came
out of the charge alive, was on our forward
deck below. She is eighteen years old, and is a
pet of the men, who take care of her for her past
services. These troops are ordered home to
England, though few wish to go, as they have
made many friends here, and fear being sent to
India or China.
Moutreal, as you know, is a good-sized city
for Canada, of about ltiO.oyt) population. We
had a few hours' ride through the town and
suburbs, visiting tho cathedral, bridge, cemetery,
and water works. The Jesuit and English
Cathedrals are magnificent specimens of archi
tecture, especially the former, which is very ex
pensively built. The old Notre Dame Cathedral
is an immense building, capable of holding 15,000
persons. Wc shall hasten home by way of
Lakes Chumplaiu and George. Sio.

Within a few days upwards of twentv.
four thousand dollars have disappeared from
the fire-proof Bafe at the United States
Arsenal, on tho Schuylkill, near Gray's Tony,
in a somewhat mysterious manner. The
money was part of the proceeds of a sale of
condemned goods. Nearly fifty thousand had
Leen placed in tho safe, and ubont liulf of it
Las disappeared. Tho depository was locked,
and the Treasurer's oflieo, in which it is kept,
is watched night and day. How acooss was

Arsenal it is dillieult to understand. There is
no appearance of fraud having boon used,
nor of the lock being tampered with. Tho
matter has been placed in the hands of the
Detectives, and they have placed several per
sons under arrest until an investigation can
be made.
About 1 o'clock yesterday morning an at
tack was made upon Mr. Daniel Kendig,
residing at No. 2.10 Jacoby street, which may

hcing employed aa a private watchman by Utt
merchants in that vicinity, when a party of
six men pBRscd him. He paid no attention to
them until he was suddenly struck from be
hind with a blackjack. He attempted to
defend himself with a enno that he had in his
hand, but was net upon by the whole party
and beaten about the head with blackjacks,
knocked down, kicked, and stamped upon.
His cries for assistance frightened his assail
ants oil", and he wan picked up and carried
to his homo, when it was discovered that he
had sustained severo injuries of tho head, a
fracture of tho jaw, the loss of tho sight of
one eye, and probably of both, and was se
riously injured internally in tho region of the
heart.
The attack was entirely unprovoked on his
part, and bo can assign no reason for it othor
tlinn Iho supposition that ho may havo gained
tho ill-will of Homo lawless characters whilo
ho was a member of tho Iteserve Police Corps,
and that it was perpetrated through a feeling
of revenge. A man named James Loguo was
arrested upon suspicion of being conecrnod
in the attack.
At a lato hour Saturday night James
Dillon, aged forty years, residing at tho Falls
of Schuylkill, was run over by a street car on
Main street, and had both lei's crushed. He
was removed to his home, when it was found
necessary to nmputafe his left log. It is
thought that ho cannot recover.

A summons was served on James Fisk, Jr

and answer in a suit brought against him by
Gorham Gray, a merchant of this city. The
petitioner, in his petition to the Court asking for
a writ, says: That on or about tho month of
June, lSG'.l, he entered into an agreement
with James risk, Jr., to torm a partnership with
him in buying and selling cotton; and that by
the agreement the defendant Fisk promised and
agreed that the petitioner Gray should make
purchases and sales of large amounts of cotton
on the joint account of the petitioner and tho
defendant; and that the defendant would, from
time to time, as it should bo necessary in the
opinion of tho petitioner, furnish all sums of
money that should bo uecessary to pay for all
cotton purchased bv the petitioner on the joint
account of both parties, and all moneys which
should, in the petitioner's opinion, bo uecessary
for defraying any expenses of such purchases
and sales.
That it was further understood by the agree
ment that tho profits and losses of any such pur
chases and sales should be shared and borne,
two-thirds thereof by the defendant, and one
third bv tho petitioner; that, in accordance with

petitioner received from tho defendant 0,000I

(Shooting of a Colored ,Hiui Through the I lend
lor iort.
The Nashville (Teuu.) Press tells the fol
lowing: On the 20th lust., after the speaking In Jack
Fon. a colored fellow named Henry Exom was
shot on his way home. He wanted to find out
for himself how things stood. When the contest
wns over between tho gubernatorial candidates,
Exom got tortllicd with a drop of the strong,
and, mounting his mule, he turned homeward,
revolving in his altered soul whether ho should
not forn'ike Mokes and go along with ttie liberal
party. When almost home, two young men,
nnmed respectively Jnmcs l oung and vviui.im
.onumire, rode up to him as he was humming a
line and jogging along at a very comfortable
ute. They had also been In town and were re
in nlng homewards beyond Fxoin's place. As
hey parsed, one of them knocked olf the colored
man h hat. I he hatless man slopped, and dis
mounted for his new four-dollar tile.
When he hud done this, Longmire wheeled his
Kirse round, and rode buck and dismounted.
He laid violeiit hands on Kxom, andli alled upon

accordingly rode up and tired a few shots with

An Alnbnn a How I)ntnrtly AsMtititt I'non
ItflHlUllCllll.
The Montgomery, Ala , Journal, on the au
thority of an eye-witness, trives tlic following
)artieuiars ol a recent disturbance at bilver Kun,
n that State:
Messrs. llcllin and Bingham had been an
nounced to address the Republicans at this place.
Ignite a crowd ol white men were present, when
.Messrs. Jtellin and hmgliam rode Into town.
I'pon crossing the bridge at the entrance to the
town the remark was heard, "Here comes the
d d radicals. They shan't speak here to-day."
It was very evident that bad whisky had been
fully dispensed. Hon. Mr. lle'liu commenced.
Dunug his speech ot litty minutes he was look
ing into the muzzles of twelve or fifteen pistols,
all within twenty or thirty feet of the stand.
The frecdmen were pushed back by these despe
radoes, who crowded about the table. No shot
was tired during lletlin's speech. At its con
clusion Major McCoj', a Democrat of Ope-
lika. by consent of Judge Hetlin, took the stand.
At this point a rush tvas made for the stand,
perhaps lor the purpose ot getting at Judge
llcllin. In the rush the table was broken pud
Miliar MeCov thrown down. Judire. Hetlin In
vain appealed to the rabble, entreating them to
listen to their own man. McCoy, as he (Helliu)
had intended him to speak.
Judge Hetlin, Air. Kingliam, and McCoy then
went into tho Court House. At this time a shot
was heard. Our informant does not know by
whom this shot was fired. In a few minutes
several shots were heard. A frcedman then
came iuto the ollice and informed Messrs. llcllin
and Bingham that those drunken white men
outside were swearing that they should be killed.
.McCoy, ileum, and lunghani theu went to the
hotel, but the fvo latter were there informed
that thev must lose no time in fcetting out of
town. They walked about a hundred yards from
the hotel, leaving word for their horses to be
sent to them.
While sitting near tho road talking with some
frecdmen, Parkinson and McCoy came down.
Parkinson had just arrived in town. Messrs.
Helliu and Bingham went back to the hotel,
and, their team being ready, thev left. Torrents
of abuse and insult w ere heaped upon Messrs.
Hetlin and Bingham, and tho whole affair seems
to an impartial observer rather a severo com
mentary upen the great Bill of Bights, which
guarantees to every American citizen the "right
of speech." Some six or seven frecdmen were
wounded, one severely. It is said that two white
men were hit.
That the intention was deliberate, and tho
plan previously concocted, to assassinate Judge
llcllin and Mr. Bingham, is the belief of the
Republicans who were present. Wo wish, in
charity to human frailty, that we might attri
bute it to the iulluence o"f bad whisky.
Tlic municipal (IHIrerH oOluriiliysboro on n
GiuikI Drunk.
The Chicago Times says: "The shooting of
Tom Logan, at Murphyslioro, when divested of
all its drapery, is at once a scandalous and ludi
crous affair. It seems that Logan was drunk,
and his brother-in-law, Mayor Blanchard,
arresU'd him, being himself iu the same condi
tion os Logau. They went together to the jail,
where Blanchard intended leaving Logan until
he became sober, trusting to luck us to how he
would get sober himself. They went inside the
lock-up together, when another fellow, drunker.
if possible, than tho others, shut the door and
locked them in, where they had to remain over
night, me shooting grew out ot this attair, and
iu itself was of no very great consequence. The
ball struck Logan in "his forehead, but did not
penetrate any depth, and he will soon bo over it
ogam. The whole ctrps of Murphysboro offi
cials have been on a regular drunk for a week,
and have ruled with a high hand. Murphysboro
is me uaraesi place in tue Mate, and makes an
admirable showing of the beauties of Democratic

Mr. Wade Bolton, who was shot by Colonel
Thomas Dickens on Main street, opposite Court
.Square, a few days ago, died at the residence of
Mr. Frank Cash, on Court street, about 7 o'clock
yesterday morning, after suffering the greatest
agony. It was at first supposed that the wound
would not terminate fatally, but Mr. Bolton rc-
iuteu to aiiow it to be probed; ana although he
cuiiiiiiucu seusiuie 10 near me lime ol ins death.
his attendant physicians stated that they had no
hopes of his recovery. The enmity which has
so long existed between the Dickens and Bolton
families has been referred to sooltcn that it need
not be recapitulated at the present time. Suffice
it to say that the deceased was one of the chiefs
in the feud, iu which over a dozen persons have
been sent to untimely graves within the past
dozen years. The feud was of tho most deadly
charader.and when Colonel Dickens fired the shot
which had so fatal a termination, he alleiros that
he feared Mr. Bolton was about to kill him, as be
understood that he had made threats to that
a licet.

I'll' IIoiinc ol Iiorilo,
The Fntitrila! Heview. in an article on "Life
Peerages," discusses the origin and constitution
of the House of Lords as follows:
What is the House of Lords ? It is simply the
old Assembly of the people of England, the
ancient Meeting of the Wise. There is no better
nstancc of the wav In which, in Enirhuid above
all countries, institutions change their forms,
nil spring to new life aur:iiii iu new shapes but
with the old spirit. For all practical purposes
the House ot Commons is the true modern repre
sentative of the ancient Witenagemot; but tho
House of Lords is the Witenagemot itself by
actual personal succession. There is absolutely
no break; the thing always went on, feebly no
doubt in the davs ot foreign rule, but even under
JNormans ana Angevins some sort ot national
council never failed us. King William assem
bled his Witau no less than King Edward, and
both Henrys did the same. No lino can be
drawn between the (iemot of the eleventh cen
tury and the Parliament of the thirteenth. And
of course it is the House of Lords which bridges
over the dark days between the two.
15ut the House ot Lords is, and has been tor
ix hundred years, an aristocratic body. The
Id Assctnbly,"in theory at least, was essentially
democratic. In this apparent contradiction lies
the key to the whole matter. Our great Councils
became aristocratic in practice because they
vtrc so highly democratic iu theory. What is a
peer ' He is m truth simply an Englishman
who has not lost, or who has regained, the an
ient right of every free Englishman to attend
the Council of the nation in person. It has been
olten show n how such a right as this, except in
a State of the very smallest size, a single town,
or a very small district, gradually destroys li
cit, me mass ot those who have the right to,
cannot und do not attend; their right dies out
by non-user, and tho constitution gradually be
comes an oligarchy, simply because it is in
theory so pure a democracy. But iu bucu a ease
as this the greatest Irregularity iu the numbers
and (nullifications of those who do attend
lollows as a matter of course. . Every attempt to
define the constitution of our national councils,
either before or for a good while after the Nor
man Conquest, has always broken down. Inge
nious men have puzzled themselves to find out
what the qualification was, the real ground ot
their dilliculty being that there was no qualitica-
cxtioli at all. the natural results followed; a
few marked and powerful classes of men, the
carls lor instance, and the bishops, always came
is a matter ol course, they were not hkclv to
let their right drop, and the King could not well
have u'ot on without them. But beyond these
few distinctly marked orders all is confusion; if
there is any sort ol principle it is that tho rigbt
of attendance depends upon the King's sum
mons. .No principle was more natural to grow
up. Where the mass of those who had a llieo
relical right to attend never came, nothing was
more obvious than to summon those whose pre
sence was wished for, nothing was more natural
than that the right should gradually bo held
to be attached to the summons; that It should
be held that no one had a right to come who
was not summoned, that the king could summon
whom ho would, but that some particular classes
of men had a right to be summoned. Such a
theory as this seems to explain the utter irregu
larity of the constitution of the House of Lords
even for sonic time after the House of Commons
had grown up by its side. About the earls and
the bishops there seems to be no doubt at any
time; besides them the king summons abbots,
but heaoes not always summon the same abbots;
he summons temporal men, but he does not
always summou the same temporal men. The
sou may be summoned though the father was
not, or "the son may not be summoned though
the lather was. Nay, the man who is summoned
to one Parliament is not always summoned to
another. All this of course shows great irregu
larity nn irregularity which could only have
existed in a transitional period. One theory in
thort has been given up, and no other theory
was as vet fully established. The purely here
ditary doctrine grew up in this matter step by
step,"jusl us it grew up step by step with regard
to kingship. But it would be hard to show that
there was any moment when the Crown lost the
right of creating a peerage which need not be
hereditary that is, the right of summoning a
man lo Parliament without of uecessity biuding
itself to nimnion his heirs for ever.
Looked at in a purely historical way, it is hard
to understand anv doubt as to the right of the
Crow n to create iife peerages. It is plaiu that
the Crown once had the right; it Is by no means
plain that the Crown ever gave up that right.
The only doctrine on which the right can bo at
tacked is the extreme democratic one. It might
be said that the whole system of personal sum
mons was a usurpation, and that every freeman
had a riirht to come, summoned or not sum
moned. The only ground on which it can be
held that the Crown is bound to summon the
sou because it has once summoned the father, is
the ground that the Crown is bound to summon
everybody, or rather that everybody has a right
to come without being summoned at all. Of
course the answer will bo that such doc
trines are inconsistent with the he
reditary character of the House.
Hut the rejoinder is obvious; the hereditary
i,,.m..inr of t lie House is something which has
grown up bv degrees and which is not estab
lished even "now. It is something more modern
than lilc-pcenigcs, and it never has wholly ex
tim'uished life-peerages. An English bishop is a
liliT-pccr- uu Irish representative peer is, as lar
as the House of Lords is concerned, a life-peer,
Irish nccrs who do not sit in tho House of Lords
are oil tho question. Tho Scotch and Irish peers
who do sit are, just as much as the bishops
cases ot men wuv nn v..w ...
Lords, but whoso seats do not necessarily pass
to their sous.
An enthusiastic Democratic paper in Indi
ana has m minuted Mr. Hendricks for the Presi
dency "in the name of a million and a half of
i be treenien of Indiana." Ho received for Gov
ernor last fall about 170,000 votes.
Congrcsrnian Bniith, of Iowa, writes to Pre
sident Giant, suggesting that the appointment
of a colored man lo some official position in
that State vould ho highly Batiiifactory to tlie
Iowa people.
An Irish bishop or a ncoicii r epiesci.uiuvc. pee.,
sitting by rotation or by election in each Parlia
mcntr I something less than a lifo-peer. Any
