KVMNING H H Hit TT A J. J. VOL. XV. NO. 02. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1871. DOUBLE SHEET THREE CENTS. FINK DISPLAY. THE FINE NEW AND LARGE ASSORTMENT OF WEDDING SILVER AND PRESENTATION GOODS OF MESSRS. BAILEY. & CO. A GORGEOUS DISPLAY AND AN END LESS VARIETY. Tire fine store of Messrs. Bailey & Co., at the southeast corner of Twelfth and Chesnut streets, is now the scene of the most gorgeous and elaborate display of fine silverware and Jewelry goods. The silverware at the present fs time is the specially, and the stock now exposed to Tiew is the largest and best which has ever fceen seen In this city. Indeed, so worthy of especial notice is it that a glance is sufficient to testify to its merits, while a thorough examina tion will disclose a wealth of design, of work manship, and of intrinsic value which surpasses anything which can be imagined. All that is necessary in the advertising line is to call atten tion to the display itself for the purpose of C causing the public to pee it for themselves. Once Eeen it speaks for itself, and all other V comment is not only superfluous but r unnecessary. Poorer goods would require K columns upon columns of laudatory matter, but and makes the impression that the goods are not what they claim to be, and require praising in order to make the people believe that they are. A part of the great wealth of stock is dis played to the passer-by in the massive windows which front the beautiful store of Bailey & Co., bat what is there shown Is as nothing compared r, to what awaits the sight-seer on entering the I establishment. But even this small fraction is I now sufficient to attract the attention of the careless pedestrian in the most signal manner. V ThcBe windows are at all times a great attrac- V IIaii Ktif at tt,a nrflBAnf flma t how ... inrrniinHn continually by an anxious crowd of witnesses, who comment with the greatest expressions of delight upon what is there displayed. On entering the establishment a grand sight is presented to the wondering eyes ol the visitor. The eye can take in at one sweep the entire length of the grand apartment, filled with the glittering profusion of silver, arranged on both tides of- the store and down the centre on tables, in showcases, in racks, and on counters. The gems of silverware dis- Jtlaved in the windows are but indices in a very ow degree of the glories of the Interior. The display is so glorious that the atteutlon is ab sorbed for a while by the glittering effect of the whole, to the neglect of the various special ob jects. But this being partially overcome, the various exquisite specimens are the subject of the closest scrutiny and questioning and the k, most unbounded praise. The rule is absolute in every part tnat the closer the examination the greater is the satisfaction felt and expressed. On the one side is perceived the most beauti ful tea service for bridal presents.of satin finish, rilt and satin, gold lined, filled in with bas j reliefs of most exquisite workmanship. Then follow set after Bet of solid silver tea services, reflecting infinite credit upon their designer, an artist of whom the firm may feel justly proud. The dinner services of the house have been for years to them a source of great emolument for in this department they have ever held a 1 leading position. In this exhibition they have given the public an opportunity of judging that in this line of-goods, as in others, they have not "fallen from their high estate," but, on the con trary, as years have lapsed, they have adopted as their motto "Excelsior," and lived up to its full significance. Dinner services of every finish, plain and or nate, from the set worth ten thousand dollars ($10,000) down to those of medium price, aro here In endless profusion. Cake and fruit baskets of matchless beauty, silver salvers, pie, cake, and asparagus knives. fruit Epoons, etc., etc., load the cases and tables h with their precious weight. ti One article attracts universal attention. It 11 was a massive punch-bowl of silver, satin finish, V etched in and lined with gold. The design is UUiiJUO, hUO UU1DU OUpCl V, A IO ClCtAUVO 1U" duced the reflection that even to the anchorite, who bad vowed total abstinence, the presenta tion of a beverage from its golden chamber would sorely test bis self-denial. 1 he elaborate building occupied by this firm is one of the finest business ornaments of our city, and the stock which they now display in t merits, and is but a continuation of the liberal A policy which first caused them to erect the fine N edifice. 1 As to the personnel of Messrs. Bailey & Co. J any remarks in this connection would be almost superfluous. The name has been for years synonymous with all that is elegant aud refined 1 in taste. It has become a household word, not f alone in their native city, but throughout the T entire Union. In the capitals of the Old World, where art has its votaries, the house has its cor- respondents, eager to pour into its lap the 1 treasures which day by day are brought to light. A They claim the distinction, and without cavil, 1 of having first introduced silver of the full American standard being but 900. The advan tages of raising the standard are, that it prevents importation from abroad, and especially from British workshops, for purchasers are assured by a guarantee of receiving silver pure as that stamped by the English Government. Besides, the duality or. tne suver renders me article more brilliant, whiter, and more susceptible of , a higher finish, and obviates discoloration from ft; exposure. V It bas ever been a source 01 regret tnat so I ' . l.l HI A VT many Ol our weaimy (.niteuo wm rcaurt 10 now York for their purchases, wnen at their very doors are esuousnmenu mat can vie witn, u r not excel, those of any similar class in the world J An impression prevails that large houses are I in their charges correspondingly large.

Another advantage, wortny of attention, is the fact that the availibllity of ample means yields to the possessor the control of specialties In design and workmanship. In all good particulars herein mentioned, the hnnoa which has been the subject ol these re marks stands unrivalled, a business monument to the trade generally. The means at iu command .r amcle. and the style in which business is ha i nf the most liberal kind, and is not sar in Ttent by the amount of capital. The aim of the firm and all connected with the esta blishment has always been to supply the best goods at first hands, and at the lowest price fons5stnt wUU tricl bosJces principles.

TvfcccVb Hills Rushed Through the Albany legislature ana Mguea iy me uoveruor, An Albany despatch to the New York Tribune says: The Legislature is supposed to consider bills in committee, debate them, print them, have them read through at least once tor tne infor mation of members, and observe some sort of order in the action which it may take upon them. Mr. J. weed has changed all tnat. His bills are not considered, are not printed, are not read, and are not subject to any rules of order or pre cedence. His amended Tax till, his amended Election bill, his amended Charter bill, and his unadul terated bill to encourage perjury and fraud at elections, were to-day put. through both houses, and have since received the signature ef Mr. Tweed's Governor. Members of long expe rience in the New York Legislature say they have never seen bribery, brute force, and un mitigated scoundrelism so rampant as they have been since tne apostate winans was received into the bosom of the Democracy. This morning Mr. Smith Weed (whose eye is still surrounded by a broad black ring) moved his resolution to abolish the rules which pre vented the Tammany bills from taking prece dence of all others, and the rules were abolished by a Btrlct party vote, Winans counting one against the Republicans. The whole list of Tweed's villainous measures, with tbeir late and unknown improvements, were then passed by a similar vote, witnout being read, except by title. Randall, Nicholas, Coon, Hill a minority feeble in numbers, hut still more feeble in spirit sub mitted without a murmur. These men act like slaves in the House, and when outside, grumble at their master, as slaves usually do. To them, party means more than Asiatic servility. Weed's outbreak, like Gra- nam s, has been well rewarded- After he bad eaten humble pie for supper last night and for breakfast this morning, Winans, the Tammany horde, and Randall & Co. went in and passed his Champlaln Ferry bill, which the Governor vt in prooaoiy veto. The Senate, in its Clerk, has a matchless reader. A man wh can follow the words of a florid air in an Italian opera would be at a loss to understand this clerK. under tne eye of Mr. Tweed this accomplished elocutionist really did go tnrougn a process wnicn was accepted as a a reading of the amendments introduced through the House Committee on the Affairs of Cities. A motion to print was voted down by Mr. Graham, Mr. Tweed, and the majority. The amendments were then concurred in, and the bills spirited away by some of the Tammany understrappers. Every effort was made by the representatives of the press to ascertain the substance of the amendments, and many mem bers or tne Legislature or botn parties were anxious to know, but the secret up to 4 P. M. was effectually kept. On the adjournment of the Senate, the matchless clerk was presented with a $ 1000 United States bond. s Later in the day some of the mysterious amendments to the Two Per Cent. Tax bill leaked out. It is now stated that the ring, being satisfied that they can get along with $25,000,000, have graciously permitted them selves to be limited to that trifling sum. Then that court house gold mine in the New York City Hall Park must be started again, and the sum of $750,000 is appropriated for that pur pose, to be raised by loan. Another amendment "fixes" Sheriff O'Brien for life, as the Corporation Counsel is authorized to adjudicate upon all claims which may be presented as due the late Sheriff. The members of the Board of Supervisors are also given an annual salary of $2000. The amendmen ta to the other bills have not yet become known. DISEASED MEAT IN BOSTON. A Butcher Fatally Poisoned Invest ta tlon at ISrtghton Startling lMacloaurea. Boston, April 18. One week ago to day an ox which bad died of disease or was trampled to death in a cattle car while coming from Albany to Brighton, was purchased at the cattle yards by Charles Bonn, who got a team be longing to August Weitz, another butcher, and conveyed it to a slaughter-house owned by Walter L. Wllkins. George Temple, an employe of Mr. Weltz. dressed the ox. After the dressing Temple need the towel with which he bad washed tbe sides of the animal to wipe the sweat from his face. This inflamed a small sore which he had on his right cheek, and tbe lnllammation Increased to such an extent that be died on Sunday morning. Tbe investigation, which was closed at midnight, disclosed some facts calculated to startle beef eaters in this community. Two physicians testified that they attended Temple, and that the symptoms resembled those which were found in cases of blood poieonlntr. Simeon Sanderson, a butcher, testified that he did not think there were more than four or five butchers in Brighton who would dress dead oxen. He thought every butcher in town would carry to market cattle infected with the hoof and mouth disease. Charles Nutter testified that he had known dead oxen dressed aud carried to market with beef properly prepared. The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Farah Temple, said: The deceased has dressed dead cattle be fore for Mr. Weltz, some two months ago and and hnd a sore throat for a long time after, and was confined to his house a week; he told his wife that the meat of this ox was not fit to carry to market, and was no better than carrion; she had not tbe least doubt but that his death was caused by dressing tne dead ox. Charles Bonn, who works for Brighton but chers, testified: That in golnar home last Tues day he saw tbe ox at the yard at tbe car station at North Brighton; then went to Albert Monroe and bought it for $10; told him Weitz would pay Lim; went to Weitz and told him I had bougnt a dead ox; we narnessea weiu team and cot, the ox; the ox was loaded by himself. Weltz, and another man; Weitz told him to carry the ox to Wllkins', as be had no room at his slaughter-house; another animal, a bull, was taken from the yards which could not walk, and do was stuck In the yards; when he arrived with this carcase tbe other ox was nearly dressed: trot up . at 4 the next morning, and helped Weltz load one side of the ox aud tbe bull, and with nothing eke, drove to Boston; Weitz ufd the bull beef at prices ranging from 18 cents to 12 cents; the ox beef was to be sold to a man whose namj he did not know, who told him some weeks ago that be wanted 200 pounds of beef of a dead ox for a proper use; did not find tbe man, and In driving through the market square saw a grease man and pave him fie beef, as I did not want it in my wagon; the side hat been cnt into four pieces; he met Weltz yesterday and Sunday, but talked over but little except business matters; he thought the bone man took the other side; he took two dead oten to Weitz's about a fortnight ago, and one which died on the cars was dressed for market: Wllkins had nothing to do with the ox killed last Tuesday, heard that a dead ox was carried to Weitz's slaughter house yes terday; did not offer the ox beef for sale on tbe stand; knew wen anougn tnat it was not at to sell; sold the bull beef ror good meat; Weltz paid Mr. A. Monroe $10 for the ox, and was to have the hide and tallow. The jury returned the following verdict: "That George K. Temple came to his death on the mornlDsrof Hundav, April 15, 1371, at 6 80 o'clock. That his death was caused by blood poison lnnooa la ted Into his system while dressing on Tuesday, the 11th Inst., at a slaughtering establishment In this town, a dead ox which was taken from the yards of the Uoston and Albany Railroad ; and they further find upon tbe evidence that said animal was dressed by said Temple for market while in tbe employ of one Annum Weltz, and that one-half thereof was conveyed to Boston In a market wagon with other beef belonging to said Weltz, and the other half was conveyed to a bone establishment In this town. And for the better protection of the lives ef those engaged In slaughtering, and of the public agalDst the purchase of unwholesome meat, the jury niost earnestly recommend that tbe Board of Health of said town establish and enforce stringent regula tions for the prevention hereafter of the Introduc tion of any dead creatures Into the slaughtering esta blishments of this town." INTERESTING MUNICIPAL STRUGGLE. Paterton, JT. J., lias a Common Council with Two Presidents Interference of the Police. The recent election riot in the Eighth ward of Paterson, by preventing the election of ward officers, was the causa of irregular proceedings at the meeting of the Board of Alderman yester day afternoon, lbe Uemocrats claimed that the ontgoing Alderman for the Eighth ward, Peter Kelly, had a right to hold his seat until his suc cessor was appointed, and submitted the writ ten legal opinions of ex-Chancellor B. William son and Courtlandt Parker in support of the claim. Tbe Republicans, however, objected to this interpretation, as it would deprive them- of their majority, vv nen tbe board met yesterday afternoon the clerks in accordance with bis previous instructions, refused to recognize Kellv, and the Republicans moved to proceed with the election of president. Tbe Democrats insisted on the reading of the leiral opinions. and a scene of great disorder ensued. At length the Democrats elected Alderman Hopper president, and the latter took the chair. The Republicans elected Alderman Allen president, and he at once ordered Hopper from his eeat. Hopper refused, and Allen then. amid cheers and laughter, began to read off the standing committees for the year. The contusion at last tecanie so great that the Democrats resolved to adjourn until evening, and President Hopper left the Chamber with his adherents. The Republicans afterwards adjourned to the first Monday in May. At 8 o'clock in tbe evening the Democrats returned to hold the meeting, but discovered that Mayor Tuttle, who is a Republican, had locked up the Council Chamber and filled the City Hall with police. Both parties declare that they will maintain tbeir position. N. Y. Post, last even ing. MRS. MIR A CLARK GAINES. The United States Marshal Puts Her iu I'OHHekklon of Certain Property. From the Sew Orleant Pieaiune, April l'i. The United States Marshal yesterday placed Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines in possession of the following tracts of land within the city limits viz., the tiact bounded by and enveloped within Dupre, Salcedo, et. Ann, and Bt. Peter streets, and tne tract ol land bounded by and enclosed within St. Peter street, 1 lagan avenue, Orleans street, and Lake road, upon which lat ter tract is situated one of the city draining machines. This act on the Dart of the Marshal was in conformity to the decree of Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Court of the United States, upon a mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States in the enlt of Myra Clark Gaines vs. Manual J. Lizardl et al., in which the city of New Orleans was a party defendant. Mr. woiney, the chief deputy, who executed the order of Court, informs us that Mr. Cockrem. the City Administrator of Improvements, called upon the Marshal after Mrs. Gaines had been put In possession, and asked for a delay of a few days; but the Marshal replied that he could not grant any de'ay at all, as the mandate of the court was peremptory, and he had no option but to enforce it. Mrs. Gaines states that prior to this proceed ing she bad proposed to tbe city authorities to rent the draining machine to the city at a no minal rent, bnt that her proposition not meeting with any attention whatever, she adopted the measure above reported for the purpose of en forcing the rights decreed to her by the United States Supreme Court. In the decree referred to she was decreed to be the owner of said lands, together with all the improvements thereon; and the draining ma chine being considered as coming under tbe head of improvements, it has been declared to be the property of the '"little lady."

Details of the fighting on Monday at Asnieres show that the Versailles forces compelled the Communists to evacuate the town, but did not themselves occupy It. The Communis ls in the afternoon reocenpied the place, where they were again attacked In the evening by the Versailles troops. During the night there was an incessant fusillade, and the Government forces maintained their posi tion with difficulty. A despatch from Paris, Tuesday evening, says The Versailles Army has not assumed the offensive. The belligerents, though confronting each other, are actually separated by the Island of Grand Satte. The Communist Losses on Tuesday were very heavy. It ls said the Nationals are greatly discouraged by their suffer ings and losses. Immense Quantit ies of Ammunition were discovered in cellars in the Avenue de Tro cadero. A special despatch to the Standard says the Spirit Evinced by the Versailles Troops is unsatisfactory, and even discipline ls wanting. The same correspondent says it ls probable the insurgents will evacuate Asnieres to-day. There are Rumors of Changes in the French Ministry.

The de cision of the umpire was glven.very fully cover ing the entire question of Interference by miners in working mines, and was strongly against the miners. This is considered quite a point gained by the operators. After the decision was ren dered the board adjourned to meet at the call of the president. This vetoes resumption for the present in the Schuylkill region and parts of Lehigh and Carbon, and there is little prospect for work commencing at Scranton or at Wilkes barre. The Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company's men will probably go to work this week. It ls hard to say whether or not any good has been accomplished by this meeting of arbitrators. The only question submitted to the nmpire was that of Interfering with the working of mines. Local arbitration ls gaining ground.
