A Pleaannt Ktate of Society Cwlonela, Cap

IteiKn of IlrUaadogc.
Letters from Acapulco of June 5 say: "Con-
fress has extended the time allowed to the
ederal Government regarding the 'suspension
of personal liberty,' and though the opposition
press is criticising this act, you must confess
that there was good cause for it, by relating only
a few of the atrocities lately committed by the
numerous gangs of outlaws who still infest the
country. The warfare to which we have been
accustomed In Mexico for years has entirely lost
its military character. Subordination has ceased;
the great heads of the revolution have been
deserted by their followers, and the colonels,
captains, and lieutenants have become common
robbers. The notorious Bravo, meeting one
afternoon a poor old man on one of his solitary
walks, kindly informed himself of his state
of health, and ascertaining that he
owned a small ranche, Bravo made himself
known and desired the loan of $100, to be sent
next morniDg to his headquarters. Theranchero
collected that sum with the greatest trouble and
sent it to the address given, and while Bravo
kindly sat down to write a receipt one of his
oflicers came in and observed that he considered
himself entitled to a share. Unable to come to
an understanding, they drew their revolvers,
and Bravo killed his competitor. A few days
after, this valiant gang attacked the ranche of one
Bernardino Flqueroa, who himself was sick in
bed; his sons and servants tried to defend them
selves, but they were all killed, and fire set to
the house, in which he and the female occupants
perished. ' Even an outhouse, with all the cattle,
was wantonly burned. Another fellow, named
Casimixo Alonso, at the head of about 200 men,
despatched a body of about twenty-five men to
the hacienda of Ecuandera, but finding resist
ance, had to retire. Unfortunately the brave
inhabitants sallied out in pursuit of the rob
bers, but Alonso came' to the rescue. The
consequence was that fifty of the inha
bitants were killed, the hacienda pil
laged, and the women outraged. The
hacienda of San Nicholas has
also keen plundered by Lozano's gang, and the
inhabitants of Telotepec lost about forty men by
approaching too near to Bosario, where Bravo
had concentrated his forces. Letters from Ban
Luis Potosi brought the information that Gene
ral Martinez's forces are masters of the Valle
dal Maiz, on the Tampico road, and that they
raise a contribution of twenty-five per cent, on
all the goods coming tip from the latter port in
the shape of import duty. The arieros, who
refused payment, lost their mules and horses.
However, these gallant deeds are not confined
to Mexicans, as the sons of other nations try to
take a hand in this game. An American named
Encken is the lord of the high road from Pu
ebla to the City of Mexico. Some Frenchmen
are troubling the peace in the 8tate of Oaxaca,
and a Belgian named Louis Philippe has
lor some time been the terror of parts
of Micboacan. v The inhabitants of Turfcato,
Bear Tacambarp, tired of these continual an
noyances, finally combined in an expedition
against the said Belgian, who was made a pri
soner and shot the next day. The women have
also given lately some evidence of personal
courage. The ranche of Antonio Hernandez,
near llaxcala, was attacked by one Moreno
during the absence of the owner, and for the
professed purpose of kidnapping his two daugh
ters. The sons looked for a hiding-place, but
the mother seized a large stick, and, crying for
help, did so good work that her sons anddaugh
leis finally came to her assistance, drove the
robbers off, and even captured one horse and
four muskets. If we take in consideration that
in many villages there are ten times more wo
men than men the revolutions having made
great havoc among the male sex it becomes
almost a necessity for the female sex to look
out for their own protection.
THE PORTLAND IIOBROR.
Fnr .Men Drawned In the Harbor Only one
the JBodlea Recovered.
The telegraph reported the probable drowning
of four men in Portland harbor. The Portland
Advertiser gives the followlngparticulars:
A erentleman named J. vv. II. Itoeers. a
member of the firm of Rogers, Fuller & C, of
Boston, In company with a young man by the
name of Charles S. Ilolmes, both of whom were
stopping at the American House in this city,

Ion. the owner and sailing master, and started
. on a sail among the islands in the bay. It is
thought there was another man on board, but
who he was is not yet known. In the after
noon, about two o'clock, the wind became
squally, and a fishing schooner coming up the
rmrrinr Tint if fid the GIdsv between the break-
Water light and House Island, and the cap
tain thought she was was carrying too much
sail and was badly ballasted. As ae was looking
at the yacht, a sudden flaw struck Ms own ves
sel, and as soon as it was over, he noticed the
yacht careening over on her side. Another flaw
drew his whole attention to his own vessel, and
when he had opportunity to look for the Gipsy
again, she had disappeared. She was seen
about the same time by a gentleman ou board
the Gazelle, who says she was apparently badly
handled. Captain Jordan, of Cape Elizabeth,
happened to pass the spot of the accident in his
fishing schooner, and saw a body floating on the
1 water, buoyed up by its clothes. He took it in
tow, transferred his fish to another schooner,
and carried the body to Slmonton's Cove, when
he sent to Portland to Coroner Gould, who went
out, took the body in charge and brought it to
' this city, and placed it in the shop of 8. 8. Rich
A Hon, undertakers. The body found was that
of Mr. Ropers. The other bodies have not been
recovered. .
FATAL MISTAKE.

dose or magnesia, ay some means. However
she got hold of a paper containing an ounce of
arsenic, ana ueiieving u 10 ue me magnesia 6he

In about an hour after she became very sick,
and suspecting that she had made some mistake,
she examined ibe paper which had contained
the arsenic and found mat sue naa inaeea made
a terrible blunder.
Physicians were Immediately summoned, and
tY7 ktown remedy administered to the suflcr-
Ing woman, but the arrcnlc had remaiued un
disturbed in her stomach so long that all efforts
to avert a fatal result proved unavailing. About
half-past two o'clock this afternoon the unfor
tunate woman breathed her last. She was about
sixty rears of age. This is the third case of
poisoning by mistake which we have been called
upon to record in the past two months, and it
behooves people to take warning by these sad
mistakes, and avoid similar unfortunate mis
haps. ARE THE NEGROES DYING OUT I
Colored and White Mortality Compared 14

The Richmond Enquirer, la replying to the
question "Are the negroes dying out?" gives the
lollowing interesting statistics:
Few physicians with large practices have
failed to discover and to note the excessive mor
tality among the colored as compared with the
white population of this city. Until the organi
zation ox a Boarci oi ueaitn, cnarged with the
keepiDg of mortuary accounts, It has been im
possible to do more than to guess at the ratio of
deaths. Ye are able, However, to lay berorc
our readers this morning a table showing the
whole number of deaths of both races, by
months, since the board became charged with
this duty. From it, it will be seen that here,
where the whites have an excess of population
amounting probably to five thousand, the
blacks, through the healthy and unhealthy sea
sons or the year, far outnumber us upon the
ghastly record. We give Its figures without
lurther comment, leaving n to loose Dciier in
formed to determine the causes which have led
to a result about which, with this evidence be

RAILWAY COMPETITION.
The Redaction ot Freight and Paaaenser
ft a tea An Advance or Western Kate on
Jplv 1.
The competition for passenger traffic between
the New York Central and Hudson River, the
Erie and Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com-
Sanies continues active, with some further re
uctlons to important points in the South and
Southwest since yesterday. The New Orleaus
rate for first-class fare by the way of the Mis
sissippi river . to New Orleans was to-day re
duced by the Erie ticket agents from $ 55 to
$ 5'35, and the at. Louis rate trom TS to fix s&.
The general agent ot me great aouiuern line.
by. way of Richmond, has also adopted these,
rates to-day, and still cheaper prices are pro
mised within a day or two. From present ap
pearances the New Orleans fare will be reduced
to forty dollars wiinin a wees, wun a similar
proportionate decline to all Intermediate points.
At this season of the year, while travel South Is
quite limited, the loss to the railway and steam
ship companies tnrougn reaucea rates win not
be seriously felt, and the opposition lines are
willing to place their figures lower.
lne $19 rate to cnicago, i i rate 10 Cincin
nati, and $21 to Ldulnville, by all the trunk
lines, continue unchanged, but further reduc
tions are anticipated.
The New York mercantile and shipping
houses, and especially Western dry goods mer
chants, who purchase their goods in this city,
as well as all persons interested in Western
trade, should take advantage of the present pre
vailing cheap freight rates by all the Western
roads and forward as much merchandise as pos
sible before July 1. upon which date the prices
will be materially advanced.
From a manuscript schedule 01 prices finally
fixed upon to then take effect, it is learned that
the first-class freights will be advanced to Chi
cago from $1.12 per cwt. to f 1.50; rates to Cin
cinnati, from $1 to $1.42 ; rates to Louisville,
from l-23 tof2-73; rates to Quincy, Hi., 1 40 to

A SINGULAR INCIDENT.
A Monkey Attacks a Alan.
There are classes of animals that frequently
display great affection for humanCeings. But
the monkey is not one of these, whatever may
be the reason. Whether it is because he thinks
himself equal or . even superior to the other
animals or no, certainly he manifests less feel
ing than any other of the same intelligence. On
the other band, be rarely enowe much aversion,
and, although mlschlevous,.he is seldom danger
ous. But an incident that occurred yesterday in
a Main street business house proves that the
monkey can bate with a vengeance, and en
deavor to take it on the object of his hatred. In
the second story of this house a pet monkey has
been kept for several months, and not allowed
to come down on the first floor, lie has always
bad an animosity towards one of the
employes, and exhibited it unmistakably when
ever they came in contact. Sometimes he would
show his teeth . at the man, and often walk
around with an angry aspect, as if to spring on
his prey. Yesterday the man was writing in
the counting-room, not thinking of the mon
key, which Indeed was supposed to be secure in
the second story. But the . animal raised the
hatchway, and climbing down the post, crept
into the room where his foe was seated. Watch
ing bis time, the monkey sprang over the rail
ing, a distance 6f six feet, on the man, and com
menced biting him. The latter seized him by
the throat, and when he had nearly suffocated
the monkey, threw him against the wall; but he
recovered in a moment and fled into the store-

FOUND DEAD.
A Room-mate Hleepa with a Corps and Does

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning, says yes
terday's Pittsburg Commercial, a German hos
tler named John Bervln. employed at the Cltl
gens' Passenger Railway stables, was found dead
In bis bed at the boarding-house of Rosa Faas,'
opposite the stables. It appears that he ate a
hearty supper and was about early ,in the even
ing talking with bis friends as usual, lie retired
about u o clock. About 10 o ciock ms room
mate came up and saw that be was lying on his
lace near the centre of the bed. ana tried to
wake him up, giving him a slight tip, but could
get no response, ue men couciuuea not to ua-
turb Servln, and went around and turned la
the other side of the bed.
About 2 o'clock conductor Harry Watton
came up to wake deceased, and spoke to him
twice, but couia get no reply, it was then ais
i covered that the body was quite cold, and that
ileall bad probably uftn place gQtite ui if

rendered. Deceased was about forty-five yeTi
of age. and a very sober, industrious man. He
recently bought a farm of one hundred and
seventy-five acres In Missouri, and it is stated
had $1000 in gold In a bank in this city.
A WALL STREET SENSATION.
Fa time of a Heavy Uiill-l.dward B. Ketch
nm'e Broker I'nable to Meet hta Contractu.
The explanation of some puzzling movements
in Ohio and Mississippi and other speculative
stocks was revealed la Wall street yesterday
morning by "the suspension ot Mr. James Boyd,
a broker, who has been carrying, for some time
past, several million dollars worth of gold and
stocks. The greater part of these were on ac
count of Mr. Edward B. Ketcum, the exigencies
of whose former daring operations, it will be
remembered, led him to commft the crime of
forgery, for which he served out a term in Sing
Sing.
Mr. Ketchum's recent operations, as we learn
from a trustworthy source, included some
$5,000,000 in gold, and in the neighborhood of
50,000 shares of Ohio and Mississippi, Lake
Shore, Rock Island, Pacific Mail, and Central
and Hudson stock. During the spring, Mr.
Ketchum's speculations in Lake Shore and Ohio
and Mississippi were extremely successful, and
the money which he made by them enabled him
to carry, until recently, the immense amount of
gold above specified. But the six weeks' stag
nation in the stock market entailed such charges
for interest that day before yesterday Mr. Boyd
was compelled to sell the Ohios, which was the
cause of the sudden decline In that stock. On
Wednesday a large amount of gold was sold,
which broke the price of that commodity. '
Yesterday morning Mr. Boyd, having already
sustained losses to the extent of $300,000 or
$400,000, was compelled to give official notice
that he could no longer meet his engagements,
and some $900,000 in gold and the residue of
the railroad and steamship stocks were sold out
under the rule. The result was a decline of 1
l'a per cent, in the stocks held by Mr. Boyd,
with which the remainder of the list to some
extent sympathized. The gold premium was
affected about 1 per cent, but quickly recovered
to 111. At the close of the day the stock
market Improved per cent, over the prices
which prevailed at the first board, whsch in
their turn were per cent, better than
those at the opening.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERALSHIP.
The Confirmation of lion. A. T. Akerman.
The Tribune's Washington correspondent
writes:
The Senate held a short secret session to-day,
and the Judiciary Committee reported back the
name of Mr. Akerman, when he was confirmed
as -Attorney-General. As an answer to the re
ports that his nomination would not be con
firmed, it may be stated that there was not a
single objection made, and the yeas and nays
were not demanded. It is true many Senators
would have preferred a more conspicuous law
yer for the high position, but no thought of hl3
rejection or withdrawal has been considered.
llis prompt confirmation was a courtesy which
the Senate felt was due to .the President. Mr.
Akerman arrived to-night from Georgia, and
will to-morrow call on the rresiaent.
The speedy withdrawal of Secretary Fish from
the Cabinet is no longer a subject of doubt, and
there are the best reasons for the statement that
the acceptance of his resignation will be in
sisted on as soon as the name of bis successor is
chosen. The President is anxiously casting
about for a sulntable person upon whom to be-
stow tb blub olllcttr-and as soon -as this point
Is settled Mr. X lsh will retire, ana nis name will
be cent to the Senate for confirmation as
Minnister to England, in place of Mr. Motley, to
De removea.
It is reported that Mr. Motley has not met the
expectations of the administration In his deal
ing with the Engusn Government, ana mat ne
has not carried out in the vigorous manner ex
pected the instructions which he has received
from time to time from the administration in
regard to the Alabama claims. The mention of
Mr. Fish's name in connection with the English
mission is believed to foreshadow a more posi
tive policy in the settlement of the claims
against lngiana.

The cable across St. George's Channel to

cable, besides being on a direct route from
European capitals to Valentla, contains four
conducting wires, while other cables to Ireland,
containing only one conducting wire, are further
north, making necessary the employment of a
circuitous route, with frequent repeating sta

Now, however, the necessity for economizing

outside the i head, '. but the - sea
becoming rough the steamer was headed for the

received them, and amid the booming of the
saluting guns, complimentary to the naval visi
tors, everybody proceeded to the General's resi

minated with a dance. The party then pro

hearty welcome from Colonel Mansfield and

Important to Brewers.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
directed Supervisor Barter, of the District of
Michigan and Wisconsin, to instruc. all otUcers
under lis jurisdiction to enforce the law
nrain6t breweries with respect to their sales of
beer at other places than the brewery promises.
The proviso to section 47, act July 13, 1800,whleh
allowed brewers to sell their products away from
the brewery premises, without liability to pay
ment of additional tax, wos repealed by aet of
July 10, 18 8. and since the passago of said act
they are liable as liquor dealers for such sales.
It is believed that the last named act has not
been strictly enforced in this regard in many of
the Western districts; hence these instructions.
Anetloneera' Natea of Liquor and Tobacco.
The Commissioner has rendered the following
decision: "Where an auctioneer's entire sales
of liquors or tobacco are made exclusively at
the place of business of persons who have paid
the proper ppecial taxes as liquor and tobucco
dealers, the auctioneer Incurs no liability to
payment of special taxes either a dealer in
liquors or tobacco by reason of such sales."
Itecelpts lor Wpcclal Tax.
The Commissioner has also decided that all
receipts for special tax should be stamped with
the ollicial seal of the Collector of the district
before they are issued cither to his deputies or
to the tax-payers.

Messrs. 8awy.r and Morton suggested corrections of

Mr. A. U. Theniian said
id tbe substitute of the committee
wss merely a piece of grandiloquent rhetoric, which failed
to extund an iota of aid to the Cuban patriots. It was a
simple anti slavery declaration which might, with equal
propriety, bo addressed to many other goveraments be
sides that of Spain, lie preferred to speak directly to tbe
point, to say to Spain she ought to reongnizs Cuban inde
pendence, instead of making an argument upon a theory.
Mr. Casserly a member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, wss nrt prepared to say to the Spanish Govern
ment that we understood the merits of tbe slavery question
in Cuba better than did that Government. He proceeded

(louse.
Mr. Porter, from the Committee on Commerce, reported
hack tbe benate bill to amend tne act of August 7, If!1,
autborir.ing toe ttecretary ot tne Treasury to license plea
sure yachts, l'assed. The bill is as follows:
That the first section of the aot entitled "An act to
authorize tbe secretary of the Treasury to license yachts,
and for other purposes," approved August 7, 184H, is hereby
amended by insorting in the first clause thereof, after tha
words "port to port of the United States," the words,
"and by sea to foreign ports."
Section 3. Tbat yachts belonging to a regularly organ
ized yacht club of any foreign nation wnich shall extend
like privilege to tbe yachts of tbe United States, shall
bave the privilege ot entoring or leaving any port of the
United States without entering or clearings at the oua
tun House thereof or paying tonnage tax. '
Kept Inn .1 That for t he ident ification of yachts and their
wners a commission to sail for pleasure in any designated
acht belonging to any regular organized and Incorporated
yaobt club, stating the exemptious and privileges enjoyed

and shall ba a token of credit to any United States ottloiai
and to the authorities of any foreign power far privileges
njoyea nnaer it.
Section . That ever yacht visitine a foreiam conntr
under the provision of this act, shall, on its return to the
United 6tates, make due entry at the Custom House of
the port at which on such return it shall arrive.
The House then resumed tbe consideration of the
Georgia bill.
Mr Kcotinld said the substitute offored by Mr. Dawea
mposing no condit ions whatever, involved tha question
whether soy set for the admission af Georgia waa neces
sary. According to the Democrat io theory it was not
uviaun. hut. according to tha ReDublican theory it waa
indispensable. His own conclusions were that, unless
they proposed to abandon tne political tneory or dealing
with the Confederate States which tha Republican party
had adonted and acted on. some acta for the admission of
of Georgia was necessary, and no act oould ba simpler
than the one offered by Mr. Dawea, simply declaring the
State restored to its political relations.
As to the State Legislature elected, he contended that
its legislative term commenced when the State life c.m
menced. If, therefore, the State was admitted torepre-,
aontation in lttt8, its legislative term commenced then ;
but if it were only admitted now, the legislative term
would commence new.

Friday, Jane H. IS70. I
Money continues very abundant, and first
class borrowers find no difficulty in supplying
their wants at 34 per cent., the latter figure
being accepted ou pledge of Government bonds:
Discounts arc rather more active, owing to '
Western crop movements, which just nqw are
heavy, and ilve employment to 'considerable
idle funds. The supply, however, is fully equal
to the demand, and rates remain at 5'n'o per
cent, on sixty days' paper, and at 06 per .
cent, for three or four months'.
Tho gold market is as dull as everything else,
and tho sales have fluctuated entirely between
1114'111.
Government bonds were very quiet,
and indicate further weakness, the sixes
having fallen about U and the 5-30s
pretty well through the series. .The
purchase yesterday of $1,000,000 by the
Treasury brought out offerings little short of
five millions, indicating a disposition to sell.
Local stocks were moderately active, and
fairly steady in prices. State and city securi
ties are dull and strong. Sales of tho latter, new
Issues, at 100(100.
Reading Railroad was quiet with sales at
53. Pennsylvania sold at, 58a58J-; Minchill
at 64; and Lehigh Valley at 58.
Canal- stocks were neclected. Pales of
Schuylkill at hmH, and Lehigh at 54
In the miscellaneous list the only sale was one
of Manufacturers' Bank at 80' .
