A REPUBLICAN JUDJLS FOUND.
Hew York City Again at the Mercy ot the
Tammany Leeches Orange S. Winans,
Republican Member from Chautauqua,
Goes Over to the Enemy.
An Albany despatch to the New York Tribune
of to-day says:
Albany, April 15. The Assembly met this
morning at 11 o'clock. To all appearances the
situation was unchanged.
The first regular business was a report by Mr.
Frear, from the Committee on Cities, of the
bills to amend the charter of New York and
two per cent, tax levy, both with amendments.
Mr. Vrear moved that the House go into Com
mittee of the Whole on these bills. The Repub
licans were now in high spirits, being confident
that Mr. Tweed had failed in his efforts to
convert one of the minority, and was about
to hurry through the business and get
the best tax bill he could, for It was never
denied by any Republican that a Tax bill of
some kind or other must be passed at this ses
Bion of the Legislature. Mr. Alvord and others
opposed the consideration of the amendment to
the tax levy until after they had been printed,
and also objected to these bills being moved out
of their regular order. Mr. Alvord moved that
the bills be printed and made a special order for
Monday evening. Mr. Fields called for the
previous question ou this motion, and Mr.
A:vord called for the yeas and nays.
As this was not a test question, but little inter
rest v as taken in the vote. When the Clerk
reached the name of Winans, that member, to
the great surprise of all but the few Democrats
who were in the secret, arose and requested to
be excused from voting. To the still greater
surprise of at least five-sixths of those who
heard him, he stated that, though he was a Re
publican, and bad signed the published resolu
tion of the Republican caucus, he should hence
forth vote with the Democrats every day aud on
every question. Winans' Spanish-looking coun
tenance on this occasion was very pale, and
bore a look of singular anxiety mingled with
audacity. When his tall, well-made figure sauk
back into his seat, there were some ostentatious
demonstrations of applause from Tom Fields,
Jacobs, and u few others, who are no more sen
sitive to the honor of their party than a rhi
noceros to a pin-scratch, Ine galleries were
silent. The Republicans were silent. No one
rushed forward to congratulate the convert and
extend to him the right hand of fellowship. Soon
af ter w ards li r. T weed was seen bustling about the
Chamber, smiling like Falslall when his finances
were about to be recruited from the savings of
Dame Quickly. Even Mr. Tweed did not con
gratulate Winans. Perhaps his "common sense"
told him not to. Some moments after the vote
cad been announced, Mr. Winans moved from his
seat to give some instructions to the stenographer,
when Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Fields, and a fear others
whose names I forbear to mention, shook hands
with him. The feelings of the Republicans can
be better imagined than described. One fact
may be here stated: Mr. Winans finds no apolo
gists among Republicans, and very few among
the Democrats. The Democrats, assisted by Mr.
Winans, then went on and passed the bill for a
special election in the Sixteenth Assembly
district. , A , , , ,
Orange S. Winans, who has transferred his
allegiance from the Republican party to William
M. T weed, and has declared his intention to
vote for all the scandalous measures which the
. Tammany chieftain is now forcisg through the
Lee-lslature. is a member of the Assembly from
Chautauqua and a division superintendent of
the Erie Railway, under James Fisk, Jr., and
Jay Gould. Mr." Winans himself, standing up
in bis place in the House, has made an explana
tion and jttstiflcatlon of his course. With one
or two corrections of the grammatical construc
tion, the following are his words as taken down
by the stenographer of the House aud subse
quently admitted by himself to be correct:
"Mr. Winans, asking to be excused from voting,
said : The circumstances under which we have been
laboring lor the last lour or five days are well
known. It Is also well known that a resolution was
passed in a caucus of my party, at which I was not
present, and which I signed, not knowing wbat I
signed. The resolution was afterwards made pubilo
without my knowledge or consent, and circulated
throughout the length and breadth of the State. 1,
lor one, acknowledge and concede that the Demo
crats on the floor of this House have a constitu
tional and legal majority', and. until this outrage la
redressed, I propose to Btaud here In my place and
vote with the Democracy in this body every day aud
upon every question."
As to brlbeB. Here your correspondent can
state something more than mere rumor. Large
sums of money were offered to more than one
Republican to "acknowledge and concede" and
enforce the title of Tammany to a constitu
tional majority in the Assembly of the State of
New York. To a man really infamous, but not
generally known to be such, real, downright,
damning, universal Infamy is dreaded as in
old times men dreaded the smallpox. A man
can smile and be a villain; but it is not true,
as has been published, that Mr. Winaus "smiled
agreeably" after he had recounted to the House
the miraculous susceptibility with which his
conscience had become so suddenly affected.
Mr. Tweed was present, having come down
from the Senate to observe the wonderf ul opera
tion of an trie omcioi s conscience, and Air.
Tweed did smile as cheerfully as ever
did Mepblstopheles at the anguish of
Gretchcn. Mr. Tweed's conscience has long ago
ceased its activity, and between the muscles
ot bis face and the muscles of his heart there is
no longer any connection. Men not hitherto
considered scrupulous bad refused proffers of
f50,000 and proffers of 1 75 ,000 to undergo less
loss 01 cnaracier man jmt. uiaus u acuepicu.
Thev preferred poverty and "indifferent'
honesty to a fortune and the universal contempt,
not onlv of all honest men, but even of all
politicians of every stripe, down to the most
r-nntemntible parasite who eats, drinks, smokes,
rambles, and debauches at the expense of the
tax payers of New York city. No one has legal
evidence that Mr. Winans will return home
wottb more than the 16000 which he had accu'
mulated when he came to Albany. Lvery one
believes that a large sum of money left the
treasury of the ring, and went to the credit of
the member from Chautauqua. Few, very few
men. even of such men as frequent this Capitol,
would now exchange characters with Mr.
Winans for any sum of money that Mr. Tweed
nnuld furnish.
It need not be said that the disappointment
aud sorrow of the Republican are great. Poli
tical consideration are sunk in the feeling
which now exist anion? them. Their hopes
were Lib that their action would result in win
ning for their party the lasting gratitude of
honest men throughout the Union.

Wlntn'i Moral Prison llon.c.
The Tribune has also the following first-class
editorial notice of Mr. Winans:
It is probable that the darkest honr in the life
of a woman Is when she wakes on the morn In if
after the loss of her honor, and feels how empty
is the future and how pitifnl is the price of her
infamy. The past, with its possibilities of
honest life, elf-respect, and the
esteem of others, is gone for
ever. Nothing is left but mere living on the
wages of shame, which stick to the fingers and
bnrn them like boiling pitch. A leper, when he
first discovers the f atai whitening of his skin, is
not more lonely. Into this moral prison-house
Orange S. Winans entered on Saturday. lie
may try to brazen out his foul misfortune, but
he cannot conceal from himself his sense of the
permanent worthlessness of his life he has
stained and polluted. In all the almshouses and
penitentiaries of the State there exists to-day
no creature so needing, but beyond, the pity of
charitable hearts.
BEN. WADE.
Ills
Common Sense In the San Domingo
Business.
General Boynton, who went out with the San
Domingo Commission, has written for the Cin
cinnati Oazette an account of the part played in
the expedition by Ben Wade, one of the com
missioners. He says: So far as the official por
tion of the party was concerned, Mr. Wade was
its brains and practical director. His associates
were very able in their way. It was not an
ability, however, that could work on hou after
hour with steady purpose and definite plan,
holding the work prescribed by the resolution
solely In view, and bending every effort to per
form it with the utmost promptness consistent
with such thoroughness as was possible. Ills
common sense in the matter soon caused him to
be regarded by all on board the Tennessee as the
one leading spirit of the commission.
I rom the first he measured the work under
each head by the time he regarded as at his dis
posal, and tried to give a suitable portion to
each branch of the Inquiry. From first to last,
those who had known Mr. Wade for many years
in Washington were surprised at hl9 vigor of
mind as well as strength of body. He seemed
younger and stronger, both mentally and physi
cally, than when he vacated the Vice-President's
chair in the Senate.
Mr. Wade, continues General Boynton, was
the horror of all sticklers for stiff diplomatic
forms. Where he was expected to staud on the
right ot some Dominican or Uaytien dignitary,
he was pretty certain to be found on the left, or
even behind, if he could hear better or have a
clearer idea of the proceedings. If it was hot
he left his beaver at his room, and wore a straw
hat and carried his yellow sun umbrella into the
very presence of royalty Itself. It was a very
difficult matter to crowd him into a swallow
tailed coat even when some with him believed in
the bottom of their hearts that without proper
gloves, cravats, and coats the possibility of
annexation would vanish Into thin air. When
the commission called in state upon Baez,
Wade went up the "palace" in white
canvas shoes. When the Tennessee beat to
quarters, all its officers dressed in cocked hats,
dress coats, epaulettes, and all the plumes and
tinsel the regulations prescribed, and received
Baez with the same salute to which the Queen
of England or the President of the United States
would be entitled, Mr. Wade dropped a book he
was reading, and made haste to the gangway in
his red easy slippers and easy coat, to welcome
baez as he came over the side. When calling
formally on President Saget, ot llayti, he went
up in straw hat, alpaca sack coat, and white
canvas shoes, and talked to all the bedizened
and lace-covered dignitaries of that great min
strel show, called a Government, as a plain
man would talk to those of whom he had some
definite things to ask at which these minstrels
affected to be shocked, and declared they had
been insulted.
Throughout he was the plain, practical matter-of-fact
man. His self-possession and hard
common sense never deserted him. Those who
had known him longest andadmired him always,
were most surprised at the vigor he displayed
and the executive ability he proved himself In
so large a degree to possess; though they had
ever credited him with no small portion of
either. Where daily and hourly contact served
to dwarf others, he steadily grew in the respect
and esteem of all. As to the duty he was sent
to perform, it was honesty of purpose that
marked his course rather than the partisan sup
port of annexation that has been widely
aitrioutea to mm. Ana wnen we wnoie worn
was over, and the report made, he, more than
any other one man, is believed here to have de
cided the president to ao wnat was so grace
fully done to remove the whole matter from the
list of questions which were distracting the
parly.
A TERRIFIC ORGAN.
Boston and Beecher Laid X.ow.
A London writer to the N. Y. World thus
describes a prominent feature in the new Royal
Albert Hall:
The organ Is of dimensions calculated to In'
fuse despair into the bosom of Boston and to
strike Mr. Beecber dumb with envy. It is 60
feet wide and TO feet in height. It contains
fcOOO pipes, 125 stops, 32 couplers, and 5 claviers,
and some among its pipes are tue largest ever
constructed. They are 40 feet in length, 2 feet
in diameter, and are composed of an alloy of
nine parts of tin with one part of lead. It has
four manuals, extending from CC to C in altls-
slmo. and one pedal trom (JCC to (i. I be pedal
oreran consists of 21 stops, the first manual cla-
vier or choir organ, including the echo organ,
comprising 20 stops, all the pipes in which are
of metal. The second clavier, or great o-gan,
contains 25 stops, only two of which have
wooden pipes in the bass notes. The third cla
vier, or swell organ, comprises 25 stops, and
these are all, with the exception of the basses
of two stops, of metal. The fourth clavier, or
solo organ, has 20 stops, muklng in all 111 stops;
then there are 14 couplers and 33 combinations.
The pipes range from SO inches in diameter
down to the size of the smallest straw, and from
40 feet in length down to 6 inches. The motive

The Fighting at Paris.
Paris, Sunday, April 10 Noon. Yesterday
morning an attack was made on Fort Dauphins,
which continued all day. The quarter of the
Champs Elysees was very greatly damaged by
shells, which are still falling thickly.
The American Legation.
The building occupied by the American lega
tion was struck by the frsgment of a shell on
Saturday, but nevertheless Mr. Washburne con
tinues to reside in the Avenue Josephine .
-Barricades Have Been Ordered
to be erected Immediately in the quarters of the
Tuileries and Belleville, which will render
Paris impregnable to the assaults of the Ver
sailles. Losses of the Versallllsts.
It Is reckoned that during two days the Ver
sailles have lost 1000 killed and 1500 wounded.
All persons are now allowed to leave the city
without a permit, except men between the ages
of 19 and 40.
The Price of Provisions
Is rising. All gates except those opposite the
enemy are open all day.
M. Chandrey
the editor of the Siecle, has been arrested. The
charge is unknown. Not even his wife Is per
mitted to visit him.
There Is a great outcry at the number of ar
rests, and no more will take place without a
report to the Commune.
Firing In Various Directions.
Paris, April 16, Sunday Night There has
been firing in various directions all day. In
tbe Champs Elysees a shell struck the Arch of
Triumph. The Arch bears the marks of much
damage. It has been struck by thirty-three
shells. The Champs are full of people; the car
riages and omnibuses are running, going nearly
up to the Arch.
The stalls are open, and "Punch and Judy
shows exhibited. Crowds in holiday attire are
moving to and fro. Groups are gathered around
and are continually examining the lampposts
that have been struck. The people pay little
attention to
The Bombardment,
save when they hear the loudest report, or whet
they look to see if a shell Is falling. There is
no interest manifested in the elections.
The Demand for the Surrender of Parish
General Cluseret says the demand ot M. Thiers
for the surrender of Paris within twenty-four
hours is nonsense. "It is very well for men ac-
customed to capitulate, but our soldiers will let
gunpowder bear back our reply."
Minister IVashburne'a Family.
The family of Minister WaBhburne have left
Paris.
It is anticipated that all the railway lines will
be cut to-morrow, and a state of siege declared

now controls all affairs of the Commune.
A despatch from Versailles says the Govern
ment gives Paris twenty-four hours to surrender,
and the family of the American Minister, Mr.
Washburne, have left Paris.
M. Thiers Issued a Circular
on the evening of the 16th, as follows:
The Insurgents are emptying their houses and
selling the furniture. The Government con
tinues to temporize for the purpose of collecting
a suitable force, and also to allow the Parisians
time to reflect. The Insurgents say -we shoot
prisoners, and intend the overthrow of the
republic and the suppression of subsidies of the
National Guards. . These statements are false.
There was some cannonading to-day, bnt it
was without result. Otherwise military arTalrs
were quiet, and nothing of interest occurred.

Republican Senatorial Caucus.
Washington, April 17. A caucus meeting of
Republican Senators was held at 11 o'clock this
morning to consider Senator Robertson's propo
sition, that the order of business be so amended
as to permit action to be taken this session upon
the House General Amnesty bill.
The discussion, which was conducted under
the five-minute rule, was opened by Mr. Ro
bertson in advocacy of the propriety, justice,
and expediency of enacting a law for general
amnesty at as early a day as possible. Senators
Sawyer, Sherman, Lewis, Buckingham, Logan,
and Wilson also supported the proposition for
immediate and favorable action on the subject.
Senators Chandler, Morton, Scott, and Edmunds
opposed the movement for general amnesty at
this time, arguing that it was inexpedient, un
wise, and uncalled for.
Finally, after a session of nearly an hour, on
motion of Mr. Rice the proposition of Mr.
Robertson was laid on the table by a vote of
twenty against sixteen, thus defeating the
measure this session.

OBITUARY.
General Ebeuezer Dumont.
A despatch from Indianapolis announces the
death In that city yesterday of General Ebenezer
Dumont, who figured quite conspicuously in the
earlier stages of the war for the Union. General
Dumont was born at Vevay, Switzerland county,
Indiana, on November 23, 1814; and, after
attending the University at Bloom
ington, studied law and was admitted
to the bar. After serving in the State Legisla
ture and as Treasurer of his county, he ac
quired considerable distinction in the Mexican
war, in which he served as a lieutenant-colonel,
participating In several battles. Subsequently
he again served In the State Legislature, and
for nine years was President of the State Bank
of Indiana. On the outbreak of the Rebellion
he was appointed colonel of the
7th Indiana Volunteers, and soon after
took part In the battle of Phllippi,
In West Virginia. At the battle of Murfrees
boro' he commanded a brigade, and after the
battle was assigned to the command of the
troops at Nashville, from which place he led an
expedition against John Morgan, capturing
nearly the whole of the Rebel command. While
still in the field, he was, In 1863, elected a Repre
sentative in Congress from Indiana, being re
elected in 1864. He was recently appointed by
the President to the Governorship of Idaho
Territory, bat had not assumed the duties of his
new position at the time of his death.
HORRIBLE INFATUATION.
The
Result of SiilrltunlUm-A Believer
Htarvea Illmiielf to lieatu.
D. G. Tuttle, of Warren, Illinois, died last
Thursday of starvation. We clip the following
account of the affair from the Warren Sentinel:
For twenty-five days, ending last Thursday
morning, Mr. Tuttle bad existed without food
or nourishment, taking only a few ounces ot
wine and water. Tuttle was a strong believer
in spiritualism, and claimed that the spirits had
told him that he must fast for forty days.
The day before he died we visited him at the
residence of his mother, in this place. Going in,
we fonnd him alone, in a saiall room, without
furniture, lying on bed with quilt thrown
over him. On entering the room, he told us to
go out. "If yon want to talk to rse," said he, "go
round to the north end of the house, and talk
through the window. Yon make the air too
close too close." To gratify him we proceeded
to the window. "Do you suffer any pain, or are
you troubled, Mr. Tnttle?" "No, lam perfectly
easy. My strength In almost gone now." "What
do yon think is to become of you?" "I am
going to sleep now pretty soon, when the spirit
will depart, After six days it will return, and I
will rise np, and we will all be brothers."
Lying there on the bed, be presented a horri
ble appearance. All his flesh had been con
sumed by the vital organs to sustain life, and
the skin clnng tight to the bones. The Sunday
before he died he was immersed in Spafford
Branch, he believing that ft was necessary to
cleanse his spirit, and he also had some of
his teeth pulled out to carry on the cleaning
process.
On Wednesday last the authorities called in,
who endeavored to persuade him to eat, and
succeeded In getting him to take a little beef
tea; but the remedy came too late. He was past
redemption, and gradually sunk Into the
"trance" from which there was no awakening.
Let us hope that our Heavenly Father will be
more kind to him than he was to himself.
FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Evening Tylboraph Orrrcs, I
Monday, April 17, 1871. f
The Philadelphia money market continues to
grow in activity and ease, which is rather an
unusual feature, and due to the fact that the
supply of capital is increasing faster than the
demand. Call loans are In good demand, the
business at the Stock Board continuing very
lively and prices Inflated. Rates are easy, how
ever, ranging from 5 to 6 per cent, according
to collaterals. Good business paper Is in de
mand, and very favorable terms are offered for
choice names of four to six months' paper, but
the offerings are only moderate.
The gold market continues quiet, and the
premium nearly steady at 1109, the only varia
tion being 110.
The Government bond list continues to attract
attention from investors, and we again advance
our quotations from on the entire series.
ine new bonds are particularly strong.
Ihe stock market continues active, and prices
show no tendency to yield. Sales of Pennsyl
vania 6s, first series, at 104, and City 6s, new
