tucky, being the largest producers and manu
facturers ot tobacco and whisky, will contribute
70, 700,000, or (53 per cent, of the entire receipts,
exclusive of stamps."
PRUSSIA AND RUSSIA.
Bismarck's Fast Relation with Rula.
The relations uuderstood to exist between
Russia and Prussia are In accord with the course
fuirtued by Prussia since Bismarck attained an
mportant influence in her councils. This is
stun by the court e be followed when it devolved
on him to engage In matters concerning Hassiaa
interests, or to represent his Government at St.
Petersburg.
In 1859 Count Bismarck, who had commenced
his diplomatic career eight years before, was
appointed ambassador to Russia. He had pre
viously advocated, in a pamphlet published
anonymously, au alliance between f ranee,
Prussia, aud Russia against Austria, on the
ground that it would lead to the supremacy of
Prussia, and be inevitably followed by the unity
of Germany. The friendly disposition thus
expressed for Russia is confirmed by a letter
from St. Petersburg, written iu May, 18.V.J, in
which be complains that the anti-Russian policy
wnicu Austria imposed on me uerwan states
was not in accord with the interests of Prussia.
and regards it as among tho grievances which
resulted from Austria havlug a controlling in-
nuence in viernian aiiairs.
Count Bismarck appears to have spent the
period of his embassy in Russia very ajrreeablv.
His family accotupauled him, and ho was able
to devote himself more fully to the education
of his children than his duties in Germany had
permitted. He studied Russian that he might
be conversant with the views of the people, aud
very much pleased the Emperor Alexander
when he lirst answered him in his own language.
In the arl. tocratic circles of Kunslau society
Bismarck was very greatly esteemed, aud this
not alone on account of the favor accorded
him and his wlfo by the Imperial family. The
Chaucellor, Prince Gortscbakotf at all timet re
garded him with the greatest interest, and stood
In couttant and agreeablo relations with him,
lie was also held in special favor by the Czar.
who conferred ou him the order of Alexander
Neweskl.
In 1802 Bismarck was transferred from St.
Petersburg to Paris. Ia the following year he
had become Premier in the Prussian Govern
ment, aud tbe revolt of the Poles agaioet Russia
was In progress. The attitude of Prussia ou
this occasion was In marked contrast with that
of the other Great Powers. While J; ranee.
England, and Austria were more or less strongly
remonstrating witn jtussia, ana otherwise em
bsrrassing her efforts to suppress the rebellion,
Prussia earnestly supported Russia, and on tbe
till of February entered Into a secret
treaty relative to the common
measures to be pursued for the sup
pression of the Insurrection. This act Increased
the difficulties between Bismarck and the Prus
sian deputies, and the Chamber censured the
course of the Ministry by a vote of 240 to 40; but
at tills time Bismarck did not care muck for
I'ailiamentary opposition. The treaty was caused
not alone by the interest which Prussia had, in
common with Russia, in suppressing the revolt,
but as part of the European poller Bismarck
was disposed to pursue. Even in a recent autho
rized biography of Bismarck, the writer states
that matters connected with it "requires some
further explanation which it is not desirable at
present to give." The amity thus established
between Prussia and Russia has never been dis
turbed, and is now perhaps about to have its
gieatest purpose realized."
TREASURES OF THE ANDES.
The "Hirer and Hold of Bolivia nod Chill.
When the cry was heard in Europe ot the
abundance of gold in America, the poor of all
nations started up, careless of home and coun
try, to partake in the sudden riches, whereas
the reports of silver In Mexico and Peru, dia
monds in Brazil or the Cape of Good Hope have
excited bnt little emotion. Our latest advfCcs
from Chili bring ns continued and excited
accounts of the discoveries of rich mines of sil
ver. The Independiente of tho llfh of October
pays: "More news has been received from the
Molacca, a recently discovered mine of the Ho
silia, another a little more to the north. Crowds
of people have rono from Chanarcilla, each one
to prospect for himself. It was further reported
that at Algarobba, south of Chanarcilla, vast
deposits of silver and copper had been found
deposited in the form of streets. In view of all
this It is recommended that the government
should appoint officers to regulate the supply
ot water ana prevent disorders, iwo days
after, continues this paper, a correspondent
wrote, "tioou news: great news: Caracoles
beaten! "
In effect, the mines found lately in Bolivia
have found a rival in the Sapos, about ten or
twelve leagues more to the south. Two miners
who had oeen out prospecting arrived with
specimens of a new mine discovered by them,
which gave two thousand marcos the box or
cajon, which from virgin Cordilleras need not
cause wonder or unbelief, and might well give
rise to a second Chanarcilla. In a vein worked
by Jacinto Torres two hundred and fifty pounds
of the ore gave forty-eight marcos of silver. In
consenuence of all this there are some five hun
dred persons on the spot, some looking on,
some prospecting. There Is greitt enthusiasm,
ana a feeling of rivalry to beat the lately dis
covered ricn mines in Bolivia, impatient en
thusiasts are recommended patience, and told
that, furnished with this virtue ana aided by
saliva, an ant might be able to swallow an ele
phant. This practical proverb is recommended
to dissatisfied workmen and mechanics who
wish to abandon the certain for chance specu
lations.
Various fortunate speculators had returned In
the steamer. The locality is good and abundant
room for all. Ths worst of it is that food is
not easily obtained and only at high prices.
ater is bad in quality and produces a peculiar
disease, by whicli the sufferers are ailllcted
with a sort of fungus tumors under tha skin
called claeos or warts, which extend rapidly and
arc accompanied by the most atrocious pains
throughout the body. Like the ancients who
placed dragons, serpents, and other super
natural beings to guard the treasures ot tlio
earth from those who sought to get suddenly
rich, we have natural obstacles to overcome if
we wish to obtain the silver from the mines of
Caracoles. However, instead of envying with
our arms crossed the luck of our Chilian and
Bolivian friends, have we not also the spurs and
Cordilleras belonging to the same great Andean
system of mountains? We know where the
mines of Cana are and what they produced. To
partake of the riches of the kingdom of natire,
we must do as we are told bow to do to enter
the kingdom of heaven, "Seek and you shall
nnd."
THE DUCK WAR.
A Letter to Governor Bowie.
Havkk de Grace, Nov. 20, 1870.
ifesars. Editor Baltimore Avierican:
There is in this town a population of three
thousand people, all of whom are directly or
indirectly interested in tne taking of wild fowl
The (so-called) officers of the law have been
trampling rough-shod over every right and pri
vilege which belongs to the people at this point.
As a Democrat I regret to say that the 2tmo-
cratic press is closed against any communlca-
tion which would convey to tne public eye a
sense of the distress in this neighborhood, or
would operate in any manner to the interests of
this people, while it readily publishes any dela
matory article replete wita sucn terms as
"thieves." "poaehers," and "river pirates."
I append a letter to the Governor, based upn
tne opinion ot an eminent lawyer 01 Maryland,
which 1 desire the people to see:
Havke-de-Grack, November 18, 1870. Ilis
Excellency Oden Bowie, Governor of Maryland
Aly Dear bin 1 would respectfully direct
your attention in our behalf to some features
in this trouble, wnicu 1 tuiuK require the no
tice aud the interposition of the Executive
power. In article 1)8 of the Code the right is
clearly reserved to "any citizens of any counties
bordering on the waters of the State of Mary
land to shoot from boats other than sink boats
or sneak boats, within a distance of one hun
dred yards from the natural shore." This right
clearly belongs to "any citizens of any counties
bordering ou the waters aforesaid," aud not, as
It has been represented, exclusively to those
"owning lauds upon the shores."
The people at this point receive no protection
in the exercise of this right, and are prohibited
a peaceable enjojnient of the ordinary privi
leges of tbe bay. To shoot ducks as permitted
by the provisions of the law requires the use of
boats ana decoys, lue officers ot the law as
sume that the presence of a gun or duck in
any boat is prima facie evidence of guilt against
tbeierscnln possession aituougu tuo law re
quires the finding of such boats or crafts em
ployed iu the violation of the law, or in the use
and possession ot the person who has been
charged with violating the law, upon the view
of the oflicer or upon satisfactory information
These men are too poor to sustain actions
against the officer when he goes bevond his
duty, and ask you to obtain from your Attorney'
General an opinion which will simplify and de
fine the law, and protect them and their boats
and guns and decoys when it is not knon by
the uliicer, either upon his own view or In forma
tion received, that the parties have violated, or
their property been used lu violation of, the law.
Ibis is asked to prevent vessels from beta
boarded engaged in a legitimate prosecution of
their duties aud legal rlubts.
1 would also communicate that, in pursuance
of some cunniDgly devised scheme, by which
Commander Davidson has been deceived, a
steamer belonging to the "Oyster Fleet," with
a cannon mounted upon her decic aud a large
crew of men, anchored on two several occasions
In the waters of the harbor. Several attempts
bv parties from the steamer were ma la to
arrest parlies passing in boats. The sloop-scow
of Captain Henry Moore, trading under the Hag
and license ot tbe united States, was boarded
by armed men aud searched against his protest.
A number of small boats were hotly pursued
and a general consternation prevailed upon
shore at wnat might be the fate of those
upon tbe water.
It is startingly apparent that some one is ex
perimenting most dangerously with tbe temper
and liberties of this whole community. The
people are willing to abide the restrictions of
tirticle 1)8. and pay the penalties should they ia
advertently, or by necessity, violate the provi
sions of that article. . JJut, aj free men, do you
not think they have a right to object to the pre
sence of a foreign ollicen acting under a dead
statute, hunting them as if they were wild
beasts, without a warrant of law, and without
even the color of authority? These acts are
declared to be done in tbe name of the State,
and under the direction of the "Oyster Police
Commissioners."
It will appear to your Excellency, in a review
of the law, that Commander Davidson has been
betrayed Into a course that is decidedly arbi
trary, nor is it possible to construe tbe acts of
our last Legislature as to cover even the appear
ance of his fleet in our midst.
With great respect, I am truly yours,
R. R. Vahdivbr.
A RELIGIOUS SENSATION.
Al.unntle ITreakn Into a Cntholle College and
hub a mum Among me rrir.ii.
The Cincinnati Chronicle of 8aturday says:
At the Jesuit College, on the corner of Seventh
and Sycamore streets, yesterday afternoon about
4 o'clock, as the students were attentively pur
suing their studies and the priests attending to
their duties, a low-browed, villainous, repulsive
looking man rnshed through the vestibule, fly
ing past tbe class, filing towards the school
room, and wildly brandishing a hatchet which
he carried in his hand, and swore he would
murder every priest within those sacred walls.
A panic immediately ensued, the holy guardians
going one way and tbe young men In another
direction. A little coolness on the part of several
tnurvu laiiji au owu uv? ivi vravsuu uimuiumu
was felled to the ground and fastened.
T-i 1 11 T. . . 1 . 1 .1 .,

had brandished his hatchet, chopping his way
from right to left. Fathers O'Nell and Cham
bers, assisted by one or two students, held him
down, while a servants was despatched for the
police. Soon the fellow freed himself, and,
drawing from his belt two butcher-knives,
slashed the hands and arms of his captors until
they were compelled to relinquish their hold
upon him. Starting again, he drove the con
gregation before him. Most of the students had
escaped to the street, while the priests and
others rushed to rooms where, by bolta and
benches, they were safe against all danger. Tbe
lunatic raved and ranted up and down the col
lege vestibule, a complete master of the situa
tion. Presently a party of those daring men who
are always on band in case of danger rushed
upon the villain and made him their prisoner.
Ills captors were firemen from tbe No. 4 engine
house, opposite the scene. The man was un
armed and turned over to Oflicer McDermo t.
who, with much difficulty, incarcerated him in
Hammond street fetation House, on several
charges of assault with intent to kill. He gives
his name as Anthony Hook: says he is by
trade a butcher, twenty-six years old.
His deeds were fow but serious. Father
O'Nell received a deep, ugly gash in the
fleshy part of the left arm. One of Father
Chambers' fingers was nearly cut off, and
Brother Foley and Monahan received sundry
bruises about the hands and back. Hook is not
a confirmed lunatic, but one of the kind that
occasionally have "spells." He says he went
into the college to obtain that trunk, of gold
that is placed there for the adventurer bold
enough to enter. He afterward said "that he
was on his way home from work, and thought
he would just drop in and have a little fun with
tne priests.
SINGUL1R ACCIDENT.
A Man Killed by a Klnaiitar
DUcbarse of a
l.un.
The Pittsburg Commercial of Monday even
ing says:
On Saturday Mr. Robert Thompson, of the
firm of Thompson & Miller, residing at No. 150
Soutn avenue, received a telegraph message
from 8t. Louis, containing the sad intelligence
.L.i 1 I . 11'. 1 1 l 1 l , . I .. 1
mai uib eou, waiter, unu ueeu acciueutauy auoi,
and that death resulted in a few moments. He
immediately telegraphed back to have the body
sent on, ana it is expectea that the remains will
be here to-day. The circumstances of the sad
affair are as follows:
The deceased was employed as a watchman
on tbe steamboat Deer Lodge, which, at the
time of the accident was at the wharf, near the
foot of Barton street, St. Louis. It appears that
the captain of the steamer borrowed thirteen
rifles from the oflicer in charge of the arsenal
some time ago, as the boat was going to the
mountains, and Lt was considered possible that
it might be attacked by tho Iudians.
A day or two ago he was notinea to return
the guns to the arsenal, and instructed Thomp
son to place them in a box in a baggage wagon,
on the hank, and take them home. Before the
rilles were carried off the boat the caps were re
moved from the nipples, and the men were in
structed to handle them carefully. 1 welvc of
them were placed in the wagon without accl
dent, and the driver, together- with the captain
of the boat, returned on board for the bayonets
as Thompson was placing the last musket in the
box. An instant after a report was heard, and
turning around iney saw lnompson stagger
from the wagon to the gang plank, and at the
same time tear open his coat and vest. The
captain, fearing ha would fall in the river.
shouted to him to keep off the plank. He
stopped, and sinking to his knees, fell back
ward. When they reached him life was extinct
It was found that the undermost gun had ex
rloded. throwing the charge, consisting of 1
bullet and four buckshot, through tbe two-inch
plank of which the box was made. It then struck
the uufortunate man in the right breast, passing
through the lungs, coming ont beneath the
Ehoulder blade, aud the ball was found im
bedded in a log at the river bank to the depth
of four inches. An inquest was held over the
remains, when a verdict of accidental death was
returned.
The deceased was In his nineteenth year, and
was an esteemed and worthy young man. His
death will cast a gloom not only ou his family.
but among his relations and a large circle of
friends and acquaintances. The remaias will
be interred to-morrow morning at 9J o'clock,
from the residence of his parents, No. 15'J
South avenue. ,
WAR ANECDOTES.
Some Interesting anecdotes of the siege of
Pails are told in a letter to a Loudon literary
paper:
"One of the successes of the siege is asses'
veal; donkey flesh is recognized as a great deli
cacyveal with a poultry flavor it is scarcely
to be bad for love or money; a group of women
collected this morning around a carcass in my
neighborhood, and forestalled all the prime pieces
before it was cut up. Tbe proprietor of the
donkeys that were the delight of the damsels of
Paris who visited Robinson aud diued under the
trees with their friends, the students, oaftte
days, not being able to maintain his four-footed
in end s in tueee days 01 scarcity, has opened a
butcher's shop in the Rue de I'Ancleune Come
die, and is regaling the Quartier Latin with the
flesh that was bestridden with so much hilarity
a few short weeks since.
"The gamin is not quite subdued by the siege;
he crops up now aud then iu his old manner.
Tbe other day a member of the International
Ambulance Society ran against aGavroche, who
cried out: 'L'h! va done, franc-poseur de cata-
plaine!
"Ihe Heroic spirit is not extinct; the other
day a lady of the Faubourg Saint Germain
heard of the death of her son, a simple Mobile;
she sank as if dead Into a chair; an old servant
lost his head entirely, and cried out, 'Ah! if in
stead of a brave young man, Monsieur had been
a lavhe, v.e might still embrace him!" This
speech roused the poor mother, who stood up,
forced back her tears, and smiling proudly,
moved toward the talle-a-tnaner, saying,
'Joseph, place flowers upon the table!' as if it
were a ftU tlay."

The Japanese Staaeat now In the foiled
Mate.
There are at present staving at the Metropoli
tan Hotel a nnuber of young Japanese students,
wno are oeeunea 10 t the future oiucers at
tached to the persons of the princes belonglog to
tbe imperial fam'lv of Japan. Most of the young
princes are nowengagad in unravelling the mys
teries of political economy and international law.
The Japanese Government, feeling that the causo
of civilization could not be much advanced by
princes, however highly versed in Stnart Mill
or Ricardo, if surrounded by officers who had
taken only a sip from tbe tiny 1'ierean rivulet
that has yet reached the dominions of his august
Majesty the Tycoon, have determined to send
out young students of promise to colleges In
Kcgiacd ana America, to receive an education
suitable to their positions as officers on the staff
of the princes of the blood, who will no doubt
return to their own country fully prepared
either to write a second edition to Adam Smith's
"Wealth of Nations," or engage in a diplomatic
discussion with Count Bismarck.
The group numbers eleven in all. Six
are about to start for England to-morrow,
and five are to remain in this country. The
gentlemen who are to send the London profes
sors into fits, in attempts to give the proper
Japanese twang in pronouncing their name), are
Messrs. Mori, Nasto, Kurobe, Takoya, Olino (?),
and Moridera. The two last have been in Eng
land before, and are now returning to complete
the studies which they have begun at Bays
water College, near London. When our reporter
asked if they were to return to Bayswater, he
was coDuaenuy 101a tnat tney ima got plenty of
friends in England, and that most probably they
would have
TRIVATB TDTOR8
for the future. Moridera, to use his own words.
"belougs to" Prince Lanilzo, and Olino. to Prince
Mohri. Both these scions of the imperial
family are studying in London at present.
Messrs. Hascgawa, Matizenoto, and Megata
have been consigned to Mr. Harris, an Ameri
can missionary, and Messrs. Kow and Yauiada
are to be taken care of by Dr. Lowrio. The
American missionaries in Japan nave procured
these introductions for them, and they will be
sent to American colleges at once. The princi
pal studies upon which they will be employed
aro poiilieai economy, international law and
ENGINEERING SUBJECTS.
15 They all speak a little English, and are re
markably intelligent. They have the almond
eyes ana mcen expression andj manner so char
acteristic of the "heathen Chinese." Their
dress is the ordinary American or English
youtu s costume inaeea, some 01 the coats ex
hibit a smart cut that would lead one to believe
thot leddo is not entirely bereft of a Devlin,
and that orthodox "black coats" are sometimes
to be seen gracing the shoulders of the beaux ot
that city. Ihose of them who have not 3-et
been in America expressed the utmost surprise
at the gigantic engineering undertaking which
they beheld in their journey from San Fran
cisco, une 01 tueca spoue ot the &rie Kulroad
with a look which showed the impression it had
made on him. They are all of small stature,
and in manner were most courteous ana allable.

The Navigation Law Objection to tho Fand-
Wasdinoton, Nov. 28 It Is stated that the
President's message and Secretary Robeson's
report will be in full accord on th9 subject of
the repeal or mooincaiion ot our existing navi
gation laws, and that they will persistently
urge upon congress to give our commercial
marine the full benefit of the present complica
tions in Europe, mere is reason to believe
that the President's messoge will also take
stronger ground than ha3 been com nou of lato
in favor of protection to Amerlcau industry,
and that the recent efforts of tho so-called
revenue reformers will receive Bmall encourage
ment therefrom.
A Senator occupying a leading position on
tbe r inance Committee, and one wno voted for
the original bill, said to-day that he had grave
doubts about tbe working of the t unding law la
its present shape, and that he should not bu sur
prised it lt was made tne subject of early legis
lation by Congress. He does not think that
the four per cent, certificates can be taken iu
tbe present condition of the money market, nor
docs he think there is any immediate prospect
of improvement. He would be in favor of
amending the law so as to make the rate of in
terest on all the bonds four and a half and
five per cent. It is said the Secretary of the
Treasury will not oppose a llmlted'ameudment
It is learned that early in the session of Con
gress a prominent Western Senator will Intro
duce a bill allowing import duties, and all taxes
arising from customs, to be paid in United States
currency, instead ot gold, as at present re
quired.
It Is positively asserted that the San Domingo
treaty will be somewhat modified and sent luto
the senate again this winter.

Over Fifty New York rttrert Car Conductor
Arrainnea on iniirico 01 cinuczzieiucut.
The New York Sun says:
Ten conductors on the Broadway and Seventh
Avenue Kailraad were arraigned in the Tombs
Police Court, and accused by Robert Murray,
the Superintendent of the road, of embezzling
fares. The railroad companies have been com
pelled, from time to time, to employ as spotters
a number of women detectives, who ride up and
down the lines and note the number ot passen
gers on each car, comparing their reports with
those returned by the conductors. Since Mr.
Murray became Superintendent of tho Seventh
avenue line, tne loss to tho company, as esti
mated by him. has ben nearly 700 a dav.
Thinking it a part of his dutv to brpAk 1m this
systematic robbery, he called on Superintendent
Kelso on Sunday, the 20th instaut, aad asked his
assistance.
Mr. Kelso detailed Sergeant Joseph Douglass
and twelve patrolmen, who were ordered to ride
up and down on the cars of the road, to count
accurately the number ot passengers ou each
trip, and report every evening. Ibis was done.
and on comparing the reports of the spotters
with those of the conductors, It was ascertained
that no less than fifty-four conductors had been
"knocking down ' two or three fares on each
trip, according to the number of passengers
carried.
The prisoners were astonished at their sudden
uireoi, u.iviuK carneu uu nit-ir iuwu gaiuu su
long without detection. Mr. Murray applied for
tinny-nine additional warrants, and thiuks that,
after the men have been punished, he will con
trive to get some of the road's income for the
stockholders.

W ith these gradual accumulations of available

the banks must now be iu a condition largely to
expand, bnt the regular business demand at this
time is light, and the banks exercise unusual
caution in their operations. This fact probably
accounts for tbe falling off in the clearings of
