To-lny, just as the sun in at meridian, just as
with (oleum sound the threat bell of tho old 8t.
Louis Catlicdrul tolls forth the hour of noon, u
eoldler will pay the penalty of acrlmo for which
military justice knows but one expiation. The
United States barracks, below the city, has been
the place selected where the execution is to take
place, and the green BWard of the parade
cround will ere many hours be stained with the
crimson life-blood of the unfortunate man.
lo was a member of one of the companies of
United States troops stationed near a village in
one of the interior parishes of Louisiana. Near
the camp of the company was the plantation
of a wealthy gontlemau who had sympathized
with the Union cause during the war, and who,
therefore, was tho object ot special attention on
the part of the officers of the command then
performing provost duty. Tho planter had a
farce family, among whom was a daughter who
possessed in a remarkable degree that rare typo
of beauty for which the women of tho South a'o
noted. She had imbibed tho sentiments of her
lather, and therefore took great pleasure in en
tertaining the officers who frequently visited
the honfe.
The First Lieutenant of thecompany, Ambrose
Black, at once conceived a warm attachment for
the beaitiful young Creole, and endeavored in
every way to Induce her to share his feelings.
Strange to Bay, however, tho lady treated him
in a peculiarly pollto but formal manner that
proved her heart was ico toward him. This was
a great shock to his vanity, and he was at a loss
to understand it. Finally the explanation came,
when one of his companions, playfully rallying
him upon his ill success, stated that he had dis
covered why the ladv refused to smile upon him.
lie had accidentally witnessed an interview
between herself and Private Alfred Blake, the
Koldier who had been detailed to guard the house
an interview which proved conclusively that
the heart of the young creolc was irrevocably
the private's and not the officer's.
This intelligence was too much for Lieutenant
Black. Ills prldo was wounded in the most
vital point, lie had been forestalled where his
heart was most enlisted, and by one of his own
subordinates. Seeking Private Blake at once,
he poured out the vials of his wrnth upon him,
taunted him with his position, and declared ho
would send him where he should have no more
opportunities of dallying with a shameless girl
while on dutv. Alfr.-.d Blake had borne much,
but this coarse allusion to the woman ho loved
better than life tired his heart nnd brain, and
with one blow ho struck his officer prostrate
upon the ground in the presence of hiscomp uiy.
Then followed the trial which was rendered
inexpressibly touching by the presence of tho
hn iinil flared to love a wrlvatc soldier
the sentence of death, to be preceded by im
prisonment at Ship Island.
To-day the sentence is to be enforced and the
inaiestv of tho law sustaiucd. Vein Orli'aus

JII4UIE CLKUIC.1L SCANDAL.
Ituiuora Affecting (lie Honor of a Doctor of
I)llnlty lie la t linrt'fl with lirtucb ot l'ro-
mlNO of AIiirrlnRP.
The PittshunrCoNtwrrciaZof yesterday says:
TuO Community lor suluu uuiu fiusb uuo uotu
excited over rumors affecting tho honor and
reputation of a well-known and popular minis
ter, pastor of a very large and nourishing con
gregation in Allegheny. Tho minister is a
widower, his wife having died some three years
ago. In his congregation was a young lad',
the daughter of a widow in kunihlo circura
etanccs, but highly respectable. The lady had
received a good education, had qualified herself
for the prolesbion of teaching, and had for some
time taught in one of the ward schools of Alle
gheny. This lady was a great favorite with her pastor,
and in duo time he became a suitor for her hand,
and was accepted. It is said that she has in her
possession ninetv-slx notes and love letters,
which he had written to her, aud in one of thein
the promise to marry is referred to, and June,
1870, fixed up-on as tho time. The intercourse
continued mutually agreeable until recently,
when the Doctor became cold towards her, and
finally expressed his determination not to marry
her. Tho rumor nUo goes that the Doctor is iu
love with a young lady in an F.astern State, who
is an only child aud heiress to a largo fortune.
There is intense excitement in his congrega
tion over these rumors, aud some forty families,
it is said, either havo severed their connection
with the church, orcontemplatodoingso, unless
a satisfactory explanation is made. The church
session has taken Informal notice of the matter,
and will probably bring the case before Presby
tery. The young lady first alluded to has given
all the Doctor's letters into the hands of tho
session. She 6tateB that she has no desire to
prosecute him, but only wishes to have his
duplicity exposed.
She has applied for a situation as teacher in
a school in Chicago, where she has a brother re
siding, engaged in tho practice ot medicine. It
is not known whether the Eastern lady is aware
of the situation of affairs here, but tho matter
has assumed such a serious aspect that a full ex
planation will ere long bo demanded by the
church judicatory.
THE FRESHET.
IMnnnKT nt St. Anthony's Knlls Tbe Tunnel
ltluckadcr fallen Out.
The St. Paul l'res of April 2 has tho follow
ing:
Last evening the startliug report reached the
city that another disaster to the lulls and water
power of Minneapolis and St. Anthony had
taken place, and that the whole Falls were in
imminent danger of destruction.
The exact time or full extent of the disaster
in itself, nnd the consequences probably to fol
low, scarcely any one could toll, but tho follow
ing are the main features of tho reported disas
ter, as obtained from a gentleman who was at
Minneapolis yesterday afternoon:
The disaster at the falls last season, the Her
culean effort to stay the destruction, and the
large amount of money expended in repairing
the break of water Into tho tunnel running
uudcr the islands, and threatening to wash
away both islands and falls, are fresh in the
minds of our readers,
It will he remembered that a coffer dam was
built above tho falls around the break, the
water shut out, and afterwards two solid dams
built across the tunnel bclo ff the break, both
reaching to the bottom of tho tunnel, aud that
the spot between these was also tilled in.
This whole solid mass, embracing an area of
some fifty feet square, we are informed, has
sunk down some twenty feet, and tne bottom of
the tnnncl fallen through.
Another inlormunt slates that the whole mass
has sunk out of sight, and in fact that all the
rocky bed underlying tho Falls at that point has
fallen through.
Great alarm Is said to exist in Minneapolis
and St. Anthony, and strong apprehensions are
entertained of the ultimate tearing t nt and de
struction of the Falls as well as the islands.
We do not understand that this destruction
ia now in progress, or that the water is pouring
through the tunnel. The coffer dnm prevents
this: but the fear Is that, desplto all labor and
precaution, when the water rises a couple of
ft so as to rour over the coffer dam. it will
rush through tho tunnel with tho same destruc
tive power as of old. Indeed, a citizen of Min
neapolis remarked that the expenditure of
many thousands hud by this disaster become
utelees.

as well as to state any neglect

There is a very dull feeling In general financial
circles, which accords perfectly with the condi
tion of trade. The money market Is amply sup
plied with loanable funds awaiting employment,
but there is so llttlo inducement held out to
capital that the Bupply uppears much greater
than it really is. A scarcity of funds during tho
balance of tho season is now outof the question,
nnd lenders are accommodating themselves to
tbe clrcumstauces by advanclug freely without
the leofct reference to a possible iightuess In the
market, a pretty sure Indication that ho such
contingency Is feared. The prospects are In
favor of an easy money market for 6ome time to
come, but we would prefer to see a stringency
brought about by the business activity usual ut
this season.
We continue to quote call loans at 6 per cent.
on call with good collaterals, and discounts at
t)ffu7 tier cent, for nrst-ciass names.
The erold market is dull and the premium has
fiactuated entirely between 111 and 111, with
a slight upward tendency.
Government bonds are also quiet and prlcci
steady at about last night's closing figures.
The stock market was fairly active, and prices
were generally stronger. In Stato loans there
was not a single salo. In City loans the only
transaction was iu Cs, old issue, at 100,'. Le
high gold loan changed bands at 8(.tj for the
large and nt s! for the small bonds.
In Reading Railroad shires there was a steady
feeling; sales at 4'J. Pennsylvania was very
active and stronger; largo sales at B7(ff 57.

boat-race between Oxford and Cambridge elght
oored crews took place this afternoon at 5 o'clock,
on the Thames, the course being from Putucy to
Mortlake, about four and a quarter miles. Tbe
weather was delightful, and a slight westerly breeze
prevailed. Multitudes thronged the banks of the
river at every available point, and buildings
warmed with people. Bridges were also crowded
to their utmost capacity, and every kind of craft
that could be obtained, including steamboats aud
barges, moved along each bank of tho river,
which was kept clear by the admirable
arrangements of tho Lord of Thames'
Conservancy Rnd a numerous body of police. All
traffic on the Thames was absolutely prohibited for
the time, as was the cases during the Oxford and
Harvard contest last summer. The result of the
race was In favor of the Cambridge crew, which
won by one length, after a sharp contest, iu nine

Oxfords, who were the favorites at the odds of
eleven to eight, which had been freely tuken by the

rival crews was in 1SC8, when oxford won In tweuty

Chars" Against tieneral Howard.
Sp'-cial Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
In the Ilwnse to-day Fernando Wood, of New York,
preferred formal charges against Gensral O. O.
Howard, charging him with fraud and corruption
while Commisbioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. He
alleges that Howard took from the regular appropria
tions upwards of live hundred thousand dollars,
which he appropriated to his own use and for the
benetlt of his family and friends, that he bss used
funds of the Government to build np his own private
Isrtune, and, In short, that Howard is a common
swindler. The matter created some sensation in the
House. Ben Butler said if these ;c barges proved
false the House would have to deal with Wood; to
which Wood replied that ho acted on his personal
responsibility, and after the House was through in
vestigating Howard he would have thera Investigate
Butler. The rhargea agalust Howard wero referred
to the Committee on Education and Labor for inves
tigation, with power to send for persons and papers.

and C. W. Alvord, all attached to the bureau, were
Interested as stockholders.
Filth. That the specifications for the construction
of these buildings provided that tho materials ue l
In their erection should be taken from the brick
made by this company, thus preventing competition
aud securing tho use of that brick und no other for
that purpose.
Sixth. That the brick so used were nndt, utterly
worthless; part of the buildings have fallen down
In consequence, and other parts have since beeu re
paired and rebuilt at an expense or f;i(Hm.

jHJctB ui ine oureuu.

ment, which huve been sent to Tennessee to noip
the freedmen's schools In that State.
Twelfth. That he caused or knowingly allowed
lands In this city owned by an officer of the
bureau to be transferred t a freedmen's school in
North Carolina, the olllcer taking thu money appro

pecuniary speculation.
Fourteenth. lie has discharged the duties of tho
Commissioner of the bureau with extravagance,

Fifteenth. That he Is one of a ring known as the
"freedmen's bureau ring," with connections and in
fluences with tho Freedmen's Savings Bank and the

whose practice has been to devote the oitlclal autho
rity and power cf the bureau to personal and politi
cal profit.
In conclusion Mr. Wood oirered a resolution In
structing the Committee ou Freedmen's A 11 airs to
examine and report whether Genural o. O. Howard

sioner with integrity, and whether money appro
priated for and received by the bureau has not been

Mr. Maynard raised the question of order whether
unanimous consent to make n personal explanation
extended to permission to offer resolutions.
The Speaker repliwd that it did not.
Mr. Maynard objected to tho resolution being
Offered.
Mr. Wood said he had selected for tho investiga
tion a committee compoped entirely of Republicans,
and he doubted whether the gentleman from Ten
nesse would take the personal and political respon
sibility ol keeping out the resolution.
Mr. Maynard said ho would take the responsibility
to do what he considered his duty.
Mr. Wood I have made my statement and offered
my resolution, and tho majority of the House may
take the responsibility and the consequences.
The Speaker The resolution Is not before the
House.
Mr. Dawes, of Mass., remarked that, after the
statement inudo by the gentleman from New York,
he thought the matter should be referred to the
Committee on Education and Labor for Investiga
tion, and he moved a resolution for that purpose.
Mr. Peters hoped there would be no objection to
that. As a representative of a State that was proud
of the name of General O. O. Howard, he hoped that
those charges, lu which there waa no truth what
ever, would be fully Investigated.
Mr. Dawes said that when he made the motion he
was animated by the same spirit expressed by the
gentleman from Maine. He had the fullest confi
dence in the integrity of General Howard, aud
thought it due to him and to tbe country that such a
statement, made by a member of tho House, should
be fully investigated.
Mr. Shanks suggested that the proper committee
to investigate the matter was the Committee on
Freedmen's A flairs.

Hero we are aain. The New York Tribune

characteristic morceau: .........
The statement blazoned lu a city Journal that the
editor of the Tribune ever asserted, surmised, or
ruessed that the Hon. James W. Busted was paid
luoo. or auy other sum, for supporting the Tweed
charter, is a base fabrication. Mr. Greeley never
alleged nor Insinuated that Mr. Husted was paid a

asserts the coutrary as of his on Knowledge is a
bar."
