Kloil EiiibarrnitiiinentB to Trade.
Tbe steamboat interest has lately been labor
ing, and, as long as tbe present condition of
affairs continues, will labor under unusual em
barrassments. Although on the coast and tri
butary Btreams an accumulation of products,
cotton especially, is awaiting transportation to
market, scarcity of fuel and consequent hii?a
prices render it impossible for boats to reap the
advantages which otherwise they would derive
from the demand for their ecrvices. The de
crease of tonnage, resulting from the destructive
fire on Sunday last, has, of course, diminished
the demand for fuel, but it is so scarce and dilll
cult to procure that an irregularity is caused
equivalent to a partial suspension of navigation.
Coal, which was to be had a few weeks ago
at sixty-five cents per bushel, now costs one
dollar and seventy-five cents, and wood is pro
portionately dear. Worse yet, an entire failure
of the supply for navigation is imminent every
day. Delays in departure and tardy movement
when under way are inevitable under such cir
cumstances. The coast trade Is most embar
rassed, but the tributary trade is likewise suf
fering. Fuel for the Natchez, which, a few
weeks ago, cost lees than 12000 for a round trip,
as high as Vicksburg, now costs $4000. It is
the same with the Pargoud, which runs to above
Milliken's Bund, and with all the upper coast
boats.
There Is some coal 6till at Natchez and Vicks
burg, but neither coal nor wood at way points,
and sufliclcnt of either or both has to be taken
at this port to work throueh to Natchez, which
lessens the capacity of boats for outward freight.
The prosperity of the business on the tributaries
is iu like manner affected, though not in an
equal degree. The immediate trouble on these
rivers appears to.arise from tbe idleness of freed
men during the holidays, when wood-chopping,
as well as every other kind of labor, is
suspended.
Boats in all the trades are complaining of a
scarcity of freights. With the low prices of
cotton and sugar ruling this season that scarcity
is Inevitable, because neither planter, farmer,
nor freedman consume as much in seasons of
low prices as they do In seasons of high prices.
And herein is an admonition to the people of
the city against aiding or countenancing rail
road monopolies or any scheme by which the
agriculturist may be p'uBdercd, for as the coun
try Is prosperous and wealthy the city is pros
perous and wealthy, and as "the country Is im
poverished, whether by wholesale plunder or
low prices of produce, the city is impoverished.
It would appear that the experience of this
year should be a warning to the steamboat in
terest not to allow themselves to be caught
another season entirely dependent upon the
coal extortioners of Pennsylvania. JV. O.

A REJIAKKAKLE TRIAL.
The Itntofr Murder Case The Prisoner PI md
hla Cane Dramatic Court Neiue,
Bingh AMPTON, Jan. 11. Tbe long lino of
witnesses summoned in the Ruloff murder trial
Filed fact on fact so strongly, that before the
prosecution closed the case for the prisoner
seemed hopeless, By all the ingenuities of in
ference and circumstance the fatal web of
evidence was drawn more tightly about the pri
soner until apparently no single loop-hole re
mained for escape or evasion.
Tbe evidence of James Flynn, Chief of the
Police of this city, was the most fatal and con
clusive of all the points made against the ac
cused. His was the work of stationing guards
at every outlet from the city, and large patrols
on every street and lane. The principal part of
his evidence, however, was when he came to
identify manuscripts, burglars' tool, false-faces,
ar.d many other articles, which had been
delivered to him by Detective lieilley, of New
York, and which the latter had takeu from the
room of Rulolt at No. 170 Third avenue.
Among these articles was the slip, seven
eighths of a column in length, cut from a New
York journal of July 18, 1870, which had been
taken from a valise found in a field hero, and
identified as belouglug to the prisoner. The
mutilated newspaper caused a profound sensa
tion. It was exhibited, and the jury shown how
exactly the slip found in the prisoner's desk
fitted the space left by cutting out the article.
One of th a claims of the State wa thus made
good, and it was established that a valise be
longing to the prisoner had been found near the
scene of the murder, which contained a copy of
the paper which had becu mutilated in the room
of Edward Leurlo, at No. 170 Third avenue, by
tbe cutting out of an article which had been left
behind in the deck of the prisoner, Uulolf.
Edward C. Jakob Identified the prisoner as a
man who had rented a lloor in his father's
bouse at No. 170 Third avenue, New York clt-,
under the name of Leurlo, and by a photograph
shown him identified the drowned burglar,
Jarvis, as the man who bud lived with Leurio,
under tbe name of Charles G. Curtis. Upon
these important points young Jakob was not
shaken by cross-examination, but upou the
identity of tbe shoes and tbe valise he was not
equally positive. The prisoner, he said, had
usually w orn t xford ties, similar to the shoes
found at the scene of the murder, and the vahso
found here was like one he hud seen In the
prisoaer's possession prior to his leaving the
bouse.
RuiolT said, in conversation, that if it were
not for that shoe he would beat the District At
torney, and he certainly showed himself of that
opinion by his vigorous and earnest cross-examination
of this witness. His efforts were prin
cipally directed to making Jacob sti-te that he
had worn boots when la6t at the house. The
manuscript book on language was identified by
witness as in the handwriting of the prisoner,
and the work on which he bad seen him en
gaged for a long time while In the house.
None of the w itnesses of the defense respond
ing to the call of the crier, Rulolt, after some
preliminary cross-questioning of Burrows, arose
with bis notes and made the remarks he pro
posed at the beginuing ot the tril. Ha urged
in a piteously tremulous voice and with in
creasing agitation that the papers introduced
were inadmissible because the prosecution had
not proved, nor offered to prove when or under
what circumstances they left his possession and
went into that of the dead man. The conspi
racy, he said, had been fully proved.
The State had established that three men were
feloniously in tbe store ot Jlalbert Brothers; and
for what they did there they were answerable,
but the question was who were those three
men? He denied the right of the State to claim
that he was one of then:, because a paper iu his
handwriting was found upon the person of a
drowsed man, who was assumed to be one of
the burglars. Certainly, he said, it would be
taken as evidence against him If the paper left
Li possession live years, or even five weeks,
litfore the crime; but as the prosecution were
rnable to show when it left Lis possession, it
was clearly not competent.

At that time the court ruled that tho evidence
relating to all and any of the burglars and mur
derers might be received In evidence, and if no
eufllcient evidence was given to connect tho
defendant in this case with the commission of
crime, or in a conspiracy with the others, then
the evidence relating to the others might be
stricken out. He claimed that no evidence had
been given showing that he was connected lu
anj' way with the other burglars, that no con
spiracy had been proven, and moved that all
evidence relating to Jarvis and Dexter be
stricken out. His conviction, he claimed, must
be decided on evidence relating directly to him.
The judge gave the case to the jury yesterday
afternoon, and after six hours they returned and
gave a verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree. The prisoner's counsel has moved for
a stav of proceedings, which Judge Hogeboom
will hear ut 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. If
the motion should be decided adversely, the
prisoner will receive sentence immediately.

THE BOOK CONCERN TROUBLES.
Dr. I.nnnhnn to be Tried To-dny for Iflalfen.
nnre lu Oniee llFMionlnai of the 15 nd of the
Jiook Concern Ncnndnln.
To-day the trial of the Kev. Dr. Lanahan, Jr.,
agent of the Book Concern of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, will be opened at tho pub
lishing house, corner of Broadway and Eleventh
street, New York, before a court consisting of
the General Book Committee and such of the
Bishops of the Church as may be able to be pre
sent. It will be remembered that In October last Dr.
Lanahau was suspended from his ollicul func
tions by the committee, pending his trial, upon
the issue of which will depend his reinstate
ment or his expulsion from oflice, on charges
which, though not affecting in any degree his
personal integrity or honesty of motive, cannot
fail to prove disastrous to hi3 iuQience a? a
Christian minister. Other matters will also in
cidentally bo fully ventilated and perhaps de
cided, in which tho general public have for two
years past evinced no small interest.
The following are the charges in brief:
1. Ollicial misconduct and malfeasance.
13. Neglect of ollicial duty.
3. Untruthfulness, Irascibility, slanderou?
disposition, and other objectionable personal
characteristics, which unfit him for the position
of assistant book agent.
-4. Insubordination to his ofllclal superiors,
tbe Book Committee, and violation of his
pledges to them.
5. AVant of business qualifications and capa
city for the diecharge of his official duties as
euc-n assistant book agent.
The committee met on May 1ft, remaining in
session three days. The proposition to suspend
the offending agent, pending his trial on the
charges, was entertained and warmly debated;
but no action was taken lu the premises other
than to resolve that it was "not deemed ex
pedient at the present time to consider the
charges."
The Book Committee again met iu Cincinnati
in October last. As this was the regular fall
meeting of the committee, it was not generally
supposed that the New York Book-room troubles
would come up nt that session, and there was
no little astonishment when the telegraph an
nounced that Dr. Lanahan had been suspended
for ollicial misconduct. The time for the trial
was firt-t set for December 8, and aftcrrards
changed to January 1:2.
The- following is the resolution of suspen
sion: In view of representations made to the Hook Com
tnittee ut its st salon lu May last, and at this present
session, lv Kev. 11. F. Pease and others (see docu-iui-nt
marked A 1) eor.ee ruing the oilldul conduct of
Hcv. John Lunahau, Assistant liyuk Agent at New
York,
litnolrnl. That the said John I.inahan, Assistant
Book Agi rit, be aud he is hereby suspended from
tils oilleixl relations as such aeu
It is understood that all the bishops have been
invited to be present, and that all will alteud
but one or two who are iu bud health. This is
the oiily thing which renders Dr. Lunahan's fate
problematic. The committee have already
t-howu their hands, and there is little doubt
that tho vote on his expulsion will stand as did
that on his suspension. The concurrence of the
bishops present must needs be obtained "before
such judgment can take effect, aud this, it is
fair to suppose, can only be obtalued after a
thorough and impartial iuvestigatiou.
WATER FAMINE.
New J(reya I.aelt of the Precious fluid.
Tbe Newark Advertiser ot last evening says:
The water ordeal through which the people of
Jersey City and Iloboken are parsing causes
increasing pecuniary loss to manufacturers and
their employees, aud much discomfort and in
convenience to the entire people. The loss en
tailed by this suspension of business is estimated
at a hundred thousand dollars a day.
At a meeting of the Mayor, Chief of Police,
Tresident of the Board of Aldermen, and tho
Fire Commissioners, it was agreed to swear la
one LuBdred men as a special fire patrol, to be
assigned beats in various parts of the city, aud
to go on duty at 5 B. M., and be visiud by
the roundsmen like the regular police force. At

tho suggestion of the Mayor, a large quantity of
hose has been borrowed lrom the New York Fire
Department. A few of tho New York insurance
companies promised to procure fire extinguishers
from that city to lend assistance in case of need,
j while similar corporations in Jersey City have
proposed to bear an equitable share of tho inci
dental expenses.
j The new stand-pipe has been finished and
j removed to Belleville, and will bo placed in
position this week the Mayor thinks by to-
; morrow. The pipe Is one hundred and twenty
feet long and six feet in diameter, and weighs
twenty tons. This weighty and unwieldy mass
of iron has to be lifted in one entire piece from
the ground and placed in a perpendicular posi
tion on its foundation, at an elevation of forty
feet from where it now lies. To do this requires
great care, skill, and power. Two immense
sheer poles, measuring one hundred and ten
feet in length, will be raised "to a proper posi
tion and firmly secured with, guys and braces.
By this afternoon tho process of raising the pipe
will be begun.
RWitbin the last twentj'-four hours three of
H. K. Worthington's duplex engines have been
placed in position, and two of them are already
at work, and the third will have her connection
completed this afternoon. They are found to
be of good service, particularly in relieving the
large Cornish engine from much of the "hammer"
ot the backward How of water. On Saturday
last the indicator showed but little over three
million gallons pumped. During the last
twenty-four hours about 4,500.000 gallons of
water have been supplied to the reservoir.
Owing to the severity of the weather, however,
a largo portion of this is lost to the consumers
in Jersey City, aud turns to ice in the reservoirs.
. ITALIAN UNITY.
A Lclier from the " Quaker Ioei,' J.
Whlnier.
Amesiuky, let Mo., 4th, 1871. Theodore
Roosevelt, Chairman Committee of Arrange
ments. Dear Friend: It would give mo more
than ordinary satisfaction to attend the meeting
on the lth lust, for the celebration of Italiau
unity, the emancipation of Rome, and its occu
pation as the permanent capital of the nation.
For many years I have watched with
deep interest and sympatbj' the popular
movement on the Italian peninsula, aud
especially every effort for the deliverance of
Rome from a despotism counting its ago bycen
turics. I looked at these struggles of the people
with little reference to their ecclesiastical or
sectarian bearings. Had I been a Catholic in
stead of a Protestant I should havo hailed every
symptom of Roman deliverance from l'apal rule,
occupying, us I have, tho standpoint of a repub
lican radical, desirous ttiat all men, of all creeds,
should eDjoy the civil liberty which I prized so
highly for myself.
I lott all confidence in the French republic of
164'J when it forfeited its own riht to exist by
crushing out the newly-formed Roman republic
under Mazzini and Garibaldi. From that hour
it was doomed, and the expiation of its mon
strous crime is still going on. My sympathies
are with Jules Favro and Leon "Gnmoettu iu
their efforts to establish aud sustain a republic
in France, but I confess that the investment of
l'aris by King Williurn seems to me the logical
sequence of the bombardment of Rome by
Oudiuot. Aud is it not a significant fact that
the terrible chasf-cpot, which made its first
bloody experiment upon the half-armed Italiau
patriots without the walls of Rome, has failed
in the bauds of French republicans against the
Inferior needle-gun of Prussia? It was said of
a fierce actor In the old French Revolution that
he demoralized the guillotine. The massacre at
Mcnlano demoralized the chasscpots.
The withdrawal of the temporal power of the
Popo will prove a blessing to the Catholic
Church as well as to the world. Many of its
most leurned and devout priests and'laymen
have long seen the necessity ol such a change,
which takes from it a reproach aud scuudal that
could no longer he excused or tolerated. A
century hence it will have as few apologists as
the Incjuitltiou or the massacre of Sc. Bar
tholomew. Iu this hour of congratulation let us not for
get thofe whose suffering and sclf-sacrilice, iu
the lu6trutable wisdom of Providunce, prepared
the way for the triumph which wo celebrate.
As we call the long illustrious roll of Italian
patriotism the young, the brave and bttautlful
the gray-bLired, 6aintly confessors the
scholars, poets, artists, who, shut out from
human sympathy, gave their lives for God and

THE MOMENT OF ADVENT.
. At the hour f half-past 2 o'clock in the after
noon signs of bustle and excitement were ob
servable In the different corridors.
Tbe royal cortege had arrived in the building.
THE KINO.
Towering .above all, a tall young man, blazing
in scat let and gold, makes his appearance. On
his entrance, at a signal given from the galle
ries, there were rounds of applause uttered for
"King Amadcus." The cheers were joiaed iu
lustily by all tho deputies who were present and
by about one-half of the nou-ollicial spectators.
"The Speaker of tho Cortes retained his seat.
He remained sitting during the proceedings.
being the only one there who presented in his
own person toe lucarnatton ot the sovereign
power of the legislative bod.
HOY A LTV AS IT Al'PJJ AHED,
He came on without making a sinyrle bow or
glancing one look of recognition iu thanks for
tho applause with which he was greeted. Awk
wardly and 'slowly he mounts the steps .of the
temporary throne and stands on orilla's right,
Tho A'outhful King looked tall and lankv.aud
as if he was "put together" after a very homely
cort of fashion. He has a rather resolute look
ing face. His cheeks aud chin are covered with
a curly . stubble of beard of a very uncertain
brown color. The King was dressed in the full
uniform of Captain-General of Castile.
Having arrived at his proper position he
stood nervousiv agitated, iookius to tno irround.
and seemingly as if ho hai just found out that
his bauds were, by some means or other, ex
actly in tho way. iio paused thus during a
minute.
TAKING TUE OATHS.
After some little delav, aud when every
gentleman present, no matter what his rank or
oflice, having removed his hat, the Secretary of
State read the constitution oi spaiu.
Having finished the reading of tho instrument,
tne rresuient, w no rematueu seated, said:
"The oaths of oflice will now be administered
to the King elect of the Spaniards.
The President then gave Mb silver bell
tinkle. It was precautionary as a warning to
tno King.
The President said: "Vou accept aud swear
to preserve the caiue ot tho country as it has
been preserved in the Constitution of the Spa-
Dish nation ot law, wmcn you uavo now neara
lead.
Amadeus, who was looking about still as if
for something to lav hold on, grasping tho
book of tbe Gospels severely in his hand, re
plied in a noarse, lmsuy voice, "I swear.
The President You swear to guard the cause
of tho people aud the Constitution, aud to obey
the laws ot the realm ot gpalu.
Amadeus I swear.
The King should have added the words "I
accept the Constitution aud swe ir to keep it,
aud to caiiKe- the Constitution and laws to be
preserved," but he omitted all this, having
either forgotten the programme or the words
of the Spunifah language used in it which he
hud just acquired after much puius from Senors
Ruiz and Zorilla.
The President proceeded ha-tlly, observing
his embarrassment, to say: ' If you do this
God will reward you: if not, Ho will require
you to accouut fof your oath.''
PROCLAIMED.
The President theu, still sitting, formally
proclaimed "Amadeus tbe first, Kiug of
Spain und the Spaniards," and gave the word
"Viva." The spectators responded by uttering
a few and not very loud cheers.
ROYAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
His Majesty the King still stood on the dais,
looking us if"he expected there was something
cite to be done. Suddenly it appeared as If the
thought seemed to strike bun that to bow bis
acknowledgment lor the honor which had been
conferred on him and the respect which had
been evinced towards him would not be at all
out of place. Having his mind restored, tho
King made a general aud sweeping comprehen
sive "duck" of his head to the assemblage, after
the delivery of which he "headed" for tho door
"riht off " and in a very precipitate mauner.
TUB CROWN AND SCEPTRE.
Many of those who were present expected to
behold him place the crown of Spam on his
head, and to march away with the sceptre of
Ferdinand and Isabella iu his right hand, after
the fashion of a drum-major at a band parade.
They were disappointed. This, however, did
cot matter much to the King, lor the crown of
Spain a urcut, lurqe, minhapcn "bundle" of I
gold und jewels, with a liuing-cap of v.-lvet lift
i about twelve inches too wide for the narrow
forehead of the Savoyard.

ing for the payment of $32,000,000 agreed upon
under the treaty of 1808 for twenty odd mil
lions acres of land lying In the southern part
of Kansas, and west of the 90th deg. of longi
tude in their country.
This treaty was favorably reported upon by

and opposed to the projects of railroad and
land speculators, whoso interests are sought to
be secured through other measures now pending

The I'lnn ro Helve the Hteamshlp Ocean
Otirm on her Ian! Voyage to Aauluwall.
Aspinwall, Jan. 1. When Christmas came
the citizens of this paradise resolved to break
the monotony by imitating "Donnybrook Fair"
on a small scale. The cause of this sudden
awakening was a "Cuban" one. Some weeks
ago General W. A. C. ltyan, the famous Cuban
hero, took passage for this place on the Pacific
mail steamer Ocean Queen.
He expected to be joined by several hundred
recruits who were to have taken passage in the
steerage for California. After the steamer got
well to sea they were to seize her, pick up a
reinforcement which was to meet thorn off the
Jersey coast, and head for Cuba. After tbe
Cubans were landed the steamer was to have
been allowed to proceed to this port with her
vargo and passengers. But it chanced that
"Uncle Samuel" had resolved to send some two
hundred and fifty of his infantry by the same
steamer en route for San Diego, California. The
patriots became alarmed, and no ono but Uyan
was found to "face the music." Tho rest, sup
pofcing that their scheme had beou be
trayed, took the better part of valor
as their guide, and remained at
home. General Ryan having been informed
that there were or would bo from live to seven
hundred recruits for tho cause at this point,
concluded to come out and join them, and pro
ceed with them, on the steamer despatched from
New York for that purpose to Cuba, ltyan
arrived and found the army at Aspinwall had,
like Falstaff's robbers, a very small amount of
truth in it as far as regarded numbers. He
found, in fact, only fifty-lire men, "rank and
file." Two of these heroes were very valuable
as soldiers one being on crutches, and the
other about eighty years old aud so bow-legged
that his feet tied hard knots when he walked.
To make things worse the steamer to
trnnfport them had not come. The Gene
ral then conceived tbe idea of fitting out a
cruiser, as a fine vessel was oifered him, and re
solved to visit Panama to see if ho could not
secure foine sailors for his enterprise. It belm;
generully known that tho lato "Gran General"
Mosquera, who ruled this country a short while
since so regally, was about returning here, and
a revolution being expected, the authorities
suspected our Cuban hero of being a ".Mujuuer
lf ta" aud a revolutlouUt. They were like a bee
hive stirred with a Joug pole all in a buzz aud
watched his every step while in Panama. He
walked on tbe fortifications; a despatch was
sett to the Picsident. Ho handled an old rusty
cannon-ball; a soldier with musket In hand
accidentally strolled up towards him. He even
went so far as to t-kctck an old sentry box, and
tbe troops turned cut for parado on the plza;
and be'ght of i Impudence he called upoi
tie President, and tried to buy four cannon.
El 1 retidenle," with a forced smile, asked him
"to take a drink aud cull again and hum
we'll see about It." Having giveu the authori
ties thus much to think about, liyan returned to
Aspinwall and tho Falstaff brigade. On the Oth
of December he was sitting on the gallery of
Fort Belbancourt (tho hotel), with a party of
friends, enjoyinga first-class champagne punch.
Tho Cuban flag floated gavly from the house
and from the Elliott Uitehie (late Harriet Lane),
and every one was haiuga "good time" of it
when the "row" I speak of began. A "Cuban
patriot having captured a Hag of his
country from a party of Jamaica ne
groes, who ho considered had no right
to Haunt it over their holiday games,
the darkies rallied In force aul
made an indiscriminate attack upon all the
"whites" in tbe liethancourt House, General
Ryan's headquarters. There was a perfect
storm of old bottles, lumps of coral, pieces of
"ballast" and boots (aged). Hearing the fray
the General and his friends rushed dowa to
play tho part cf peacemakers. He m-?ccede;l,
alter exposing his life, lr driving the Cubans in
doors; but his friends sufferinjj some damage
from the mlshlles, seized billiard cues and U6ed
tbfm effectively as weapons of offeuse on the
"cullud pupsens." The battle lasted abont one
hour, and was pretty severe a good many
casualties In the war of broken heads, bottles,
nod billiard cues. The leaders on tbe part of
the negroes were a party of ball-players, some
thirty in number, who were all more or less
damaged. Fortunately, and singularly too, no
one seemed to have any firearms, or the riot
might have ended more seriously than it did for
all.partles. The authorities at Aspinwall were
convinced that the Mosquera revolt had really
begun, and commenced getting ready to leave.
After the combat was over a large crowd of
negro men and women paraded the streets
waving jCDgnpn nags.

this Is the first time that a suggestion or intimation

Thursday, Jan. 13, 1V71.
The chief feature in the money market this
morning is a steady recuperation from the strin
gency which characterized the market during
tbe last month of the past year. Currency is
quite abundant at all tho usual sources, and
rates are gradually softening notwithstanding
the activity at the Stock Board. The secret of
this is found not so much in the redundant sup
ply of available funds as in the absence of busi
ness men from the market. We quote call loans
easy ati5r56 per cent, and prime rtcrcautile

Gold Is more active, and the market is some
what unsettled. Sales ranged from 110 to
1Uyi, openiug at 111 and closing at 110.
