Notable Irish Assizes The Clomnel assizes opened In the spring of - ISSN, with the usual ceremo nies. Till half a century before, the Irish Bar, when im circuit, traveled on horseback. The crown prosecutor, re- joicing iu a good jailful; the leading chiefs, their saddle- bugs brimming with record briefs; the gay and sanguine juniors, reckless and light-hearted, came riding into the town the day be fore the assizes, in as close order as a regiment of cavalry, holsters in front of their saddles, overcoats strapped in tight rolls behind, mounted servants following with saddle-bags full of black gowns and law-books, barefooted sut lers tramping behind withstores of wine and groceries. A mile or so from the town the gentlemen of the grand jury came riding out to vociferously welcome the newcomers. lint in '2B the bards tern stole down in the mall one by one, and the picturesqueness of theold entry had all disappeared. The principal trial of the assize of 1828 was that of the assassins of Daniel Mara, a mau who had been condemned to death by the secret societies that wore then, and still are, the curse of Ireland, for having brought to justice: the mur ilerer of a land-agent named Chadwick. The details of this first crime must be given before the trial of Mara's assas sins can be thoroughly understood. Mr. Chadwick was the collector of rents or steward for an influential fami ly wit., had property near the old abbey of Holy Cross. Ile was not peculiarly hard or rigorous with the smaller hold ers, nor was he a bad hearted man ; but he was overbearing and contemptuous to the peasantry, and used to tell them boastlngly that lie " fattened upon ibeir curses." The country-people, while brooding over their hatred for this man, used craftily to reply on such occasions, " that his honor was mighty pleasant; and sure his honor God bless him, was always fond of his Joke." The poor oppressed people had acquired the In dian's craftand the Indian's unrelenting thirst for revenge. At last Chadwick, who feared nothing, carried his repres sions to too daring a pitch. He began building u police barrack ut Rath Com mon, that was to be a sort of outlying fort to repress the' Insolence of the disaffected people. The secret tribunal of the Tipperary village then re solved that he should die. A reckless, handsome lad, named Patrick Grace, offered himself as the executioner, arid was accepted. Relying on the univer sal sympathy, the lad came to Rath Common, in open day, ou the public road, and close to the barrack, where passengers were perpetually passing, he shot Mr. Chadwick dead, and left him weltering in his blood. This mur der spread dismay and horror through out Ireland, showing as it did the daring ferocity of the secret tribunals and the sympathy shown their agents by the great mass of the peasantry. All this time Grace remained bold and care less, conscious of the sure secrecy and power of the confederacy to which he belonged, and whose murderous work lie had done. But he miscalculated for it worthy man named Mara, who saw the shot fired, and who stood near Chad wick at the time, gave immediate in formation, and Grace was at once arrest ed and tried at the Clonmel summer assizes of 1827. Grace behaved in a fearless way at his trial, and when he was sentenced to death declared that before a year had gone by he should have vengeance lu the grave. His kins man had, no doubt, promised him that 'miserable satisfaction. The gibbet for Grace was erected close to the abbey of Holy Cross, and near the scene of the murder. Patrick was escorted to the last scene of his short life by a body of troops, and fifteen thousand awe-struck people assembled round the scaffold.— To the surprise and disappointment of the peasantry, their martyr, though showing no fear of death, expressed himself contrite, and implored the spectators to take warning by his exam ple. While the body of the poor lad still swung in the air, his gloves were handed by one of his relations as a keep sake to au old man, a frlenlof Patrick's named John Russell, who, drawing them on, swore at the same time that lie would never take them off "till Paddy Grace was revenged." Philip Mara, knowing his life would certainly be taken, was sent out of Tip perary by the government; but the peasantry, true Aiabs in revenge, then resolved to exterminate his kindred. His three brothers, all masons working at the new barrack, were doomed to death. The whole peasantry of Rath Common joined iu the cruel league. No man, woman or child who looked them In the face for weeks, but knew that they were shortly to he killed. Ou the let of October, 1827, the three broth era atrtick work about five o'clock, and descended from the Scafibld to return homeward. suddenly eight men rushed upon them and fired a volley. The guns were old and the volley did not take effect. Two of the brothers and an apprentice escaped in different direc tions, but Daniel Mara, the third broth er, lost his presence of mind, and ran for shelter into the house of a poor widow. He was hotly pursued. One murderer got in after him through a small window; the seven others burst open the door, and savagely put him to cruel death. This crime caused a greater sensation than even the death of Chad wick, and struck a deep terror through the length and breadth of Ireland. The government instantly offered a reward of two thousand pounds for the assassins; but' of the hundreds of ac complices, none would betray the eight murderers. At last, through the personal exer tions on the spot of Mr. Doherty, the solloitor-general, a highway robber named Fitzgerald, who was cast for death In the Clonmel jail, offered to fur nish evidence to government if his own life was saved. Two men, named Pat rick Lacy and John Walsh, were at once arrested, and 'on the 31st of March, 1828, tried at the Clonmel assizes for the mur der of Daniel Mara. The trial excited tremendous Interest. Half the gentry of -Tipperary thronged the court. A great crowd of peasantry gathered round the dock, and amoug theta , :were -dispersed a number of policeinen, whose dark green uni forms; high shakos, and keen glittering bayonets contrasted - with the ragged ''gray friese coats' and cudgels the !country people.

This woman was the witness on whose reluctant evideneerthe whole case for the prosecution turned. The case up to her appearances tood thus: Fitzgerald and Lacy had heen sent for from a distance by PaddY, Eirttes'is rela tives to do "the job." The band was formed, and the ambuscade laid ; but something defeating their plans, the murder was adjourned for another week. On Sunday, , theath of September, an other band of assassins was collected, and they met at'the house of a farmer named John Keogh, living near the barrack 'on Which the Maras were at work: here they were , waged on by Keogh's poor relation and servant, Kate Costello. On the morning of Monday, the 10th of October, the conspirators proceeded to a wooded hill, called " the grove," above the barracks, where their tire-arms had been hidden. There fresh men joined them, and Kate Costello brought them food and whisky. They remained hiding there till five o'clock, when it was announced that the Maras were coming down from the scaffolding and going home. The men then came down from the grove and murdered Daniel Mara, as we have seen. With their bands still wet with an innocent man's blood, these ruffians went to the house of a respectable, elderly farmer, named John Russell. He gave the red handed men welcome, and placed food before them. Mary Russell, his daugh ter, a delicate, gentle girl, rushed up to them as they entered, and exclaimed with earnestness: "Did you do any good ?" Peg Russell, an old crone, moping by the fireside, also roused herself, raised her shriveled yellow hand, and cried with bitter querulousness : " You might as well not have killed any, since you did not kill them all." The first witness that leaped on the table was Fitzgerald, the robber, a fine athletic young man of about three-and twenty. His black eyes were full of fire, and wore a watchful expression ; his broad chest was almost bare ; his muscular legs were bare about the knee. He proved a most methodical and exact witness, detailing bisections fora whole month with great accuracy. This man had been in the habit of robbing by night the very peasants, whose outrages he at other times put himself forward to redress. Ho entered farm-houses armed, and demanded board and lodg ing. By day he would often compel passing travelers to kneel down to him while he presented a musket at their heads. Yet with all this be was chiv alrous in many things, and was a favor ite with the peasantry. He was espe cially anxious to assure the spectators that he had not sold the cause for gold, but simply to save his own neck. When Fitzgerald had finished, there was a great anxiety in the court about the appearance of Kate Costello. The friends* of the prisoners began to believe " that she would never turn against her people," but suddenly the door of the witness-room opened, and a little with ered woman entered and tottered to the table. Her hands were white and clam my ; her eyes closed; her long black hair was disheveled, and her head drooped on her shoulder. Her voice was au almost Inarticulate whisper, and she almost swooned and could not be recovered till she was sprinkled with water. The rod used to identify pris oners was then put into her hands, and she was desired to turn to the dock and to point out the murderers she had seen in the grove. Walsh, one of the murderers, instant ly cried out: "0 God, you're going to murder me entirely. I'll not stay here to be murdered, for I'm downright murdered. God help me!" Walsh then, growing somewhat calm er, begged the Judge to allow other prisoners to be put with him and Lacy in the dock, in order to test the witness more severely. The judge instantly acquiesced in this demand. The jail being at some distance, some time was lost lu this delay, and during this time Kate Costello sank back in her chair apparently almost lifelesss. It was aboutfour o'clock in the morn ing, and the candles were burning low in their sockets, when the band of pris oners entered the court, astonished and alarmed at the sudden summons. The only sound was the clink of the fetters, and the grounding of the soldiers' brass bound muskets on the pavement. Again Kate Costello rose with the fatal index rod in her hand. The face of Walsh was wrung with the in tensest anxiety, and some women among the spectators exclaimed: "Oh Kate !"—a passionate adjuration that seemed to thrill her to the heart. It was not Walsh or Lacy that she cared for, but her own kins men, who were also accomplices, and shortly to be tried. She herself had been threatened with'death unless she disclosed the truth. If she did disclose it her life was also in peril. Terrible alternative! At last she advanced to wards the dock, raised the trembling rod a second time, and laid it on the head of Walsh. To him it was the touch of death, and he showed that he felt he was lost. As she sank back in Ler chair, and dropped the rod, a deep murmur of horror and pity ran through the crowd, mingled with curses and stilled execra tions from those in the background. Walsh, who, while there was hope, had been convulsed with agitation, now became calm and composed as his land- lord came forward and gave him a high character for Integrity and good con duct. Both prisoners were at once found guilty. Kate's relations, Patrick and John Keogh were tried a few days after the execution of Lacy and Walsh. It was rumored that John had been Kate's lover, and that, though he had desert ed her, she would not take his life away or betray " her people." The Keoghs had been the chief planners and actors in the murder of Mara, with whom they had been Intimate. They were dressed like respectable farmers. Pat rick, the younger, wore a blue coat and white waistcoat, and a knotted blue silk handkerchief round his neck ; he was short and athletic, and had a determin ed expression of face. John, the elder, was a man of towering stature and broad shoulders. He was carelessly dressed, and his neck was bare. His blue eyes were mild and Intelligent. The old gray-headed father of these prisoners sat on their left hand, his eyes glaring, his cheeks blanching, as the fate of the men became more and more certain, but for the whole sixteen hours of the trial he never uttered a word. This time Kate Costello's manner was entirely changed ; she had taken the first step, and now she did not .falter. She kept her quick shrewed eyes wide open and fixed upon the counsel, and she watch ed the cross-examination with a keen wary vigilance. She exhibited no com punction, and without apparent regret laid the rod on the heads of her relative and her lover. Early on Sunday morn ing the verdict of guilty was brought in. The prisoners, the day before bloom ing with health, were now white as shrouds. The Judge told them that, as It was Easter Sunday, ho should delay passing sentence. The two unhappy men cried out, "A long day, a long day, my lord!" and. b egged that their bodies might be given to their father. As they made this pa thetic request, they uttered the funeral wall, and swaying themselves up and down, threw back their heads and struck their breasts with their, fingers half closed, In the manner used by Ro man Catholics -in Baying the " Conflt eor." Two friends then lifted the old man upon the witness table so that he' could approach the deck. He stretched out his arms towards 'Sohn Keogh, who, leaning over the iron spikes to him full length,. clasped his father long_ and closely to his bosom. The younger man's courage'gave way at this, and the hot tears rained down his face. The Judge then left the court,' and the two prisoners • were - removed to the con derpned'oells.

Thiaoutrage WaSbnia of the most inhuman that ever 194 place id Ireland, and, is still . Milted of imTipperary,withipeculiar horror. The crlme.dated back to the year 1821. In November 'of that 'year a respectable farmer minted Patrick Shea, who had latqY ttirnedoilL of his farm'an• under.. tenant named William Gorman, 'came to live in the loose left vacant, by' tIA evlctitiii. It was situated in.., a dirk gloomy glen, at the foot of theanjstil and bleak mountain of Slievnatnawn, and, on a clear day, it was jest, visible from the high road through the narrow defile of Glenbower. *. On Saturday, the 38th of November, a man Of evil charactlr, named William Maher, came to alOw shibheen near.the mountains, kept.by a man and woman named Kelly, of infamous character. These people sold spirits without a license, and their house was a well known resort of bad characters of both sexes. Ittaber, who was the paramour of Kelly's wife, retired to a recess in the house, (probably that used for secret dis tilling,) and melting some lead, ran it into musket bullets. The woman, having heard the " boys" were going to inflict summary justice on the Sheas for being so harsh tb Gorman, whom they had driven out penniless, and without cover or shelter, and being snre that Maber would be in the business, taxed him with it, and, having some good in stincts left, besought him not to take away life. Maber answered with equi vocation. The bullets were scarcely finished before a newly married servant of the Sheas, Catherine Mullaly a cousin of Mary Kelly, came in. Maher, who knew Catherine, began bantering her in the Irish way, and the, girl joined heart and soul in the repartees. Maber's aim was to discover if the Sheds' house, which was well garrisoned, contained any store of firearms. The girl, pleased with his attentions, gradually disclosed to -Maher the fact that the Sheas had a great many mus- kete and pistols, and when she left Maher put on her cloak for her, and bade her farewell as a friend. Mary Kelly, who knew the wretch better, the moment the door had closed on Catha rine, implored Maher whatever was done, not to harm that poor girl. He promised, and soon after quitted the house with the bullets, leaving Mary Kelly confident of the safety of Catha rine. But, nevertheless, the next day her fears revived when she heard Maher and some' mysterious whispering men, who dropped into the shibbeen that day after mass, talking under breath. Mary knew that " a word would have been as much as her life was worth," so she did not speak of it even to her hus band ; but on the Monday night, when he was asleep, stole out of bed, slipped on his coati and madeher way cautiously and slowly under the loose stone walls and hedges to the vicinity of Maher's house. She stopped, for she could hear voices. At length the door opened, and she hid herself behind some brambles as the murderers came out. They passed her, armed and in file; eight faces and eight voices she recognized. One of the eight carried two long lighted sods of turf which he kept alive by his breath. They did not see her, and passed on. Trembling and terror-stricken, but still magnetically drawn, she followed them from hedge to hedge, till they outstrip— ped her on the path to the Sheas' house. From where she stood the farmhouse was visible. As she looked, a fire leaped out of the roof, ran over the thatch, and instantly rose Into a pyramid of flame, for the wind was high that night ; the whole glen grew crimson. The door was barricaded by the murderers. Not one of the &teas escaped. Shrieks and cries for mercy rose from the seventeen burning wretches within. The conspir ators yelled with laughter, whooped for Joy, and discharged guns and blunder busses to celebrate and announce their triumph. Then came a silence, and after that, when the wind abated for a moment, Mary Kelly could hear the deep groans of the dying, and low moans of agony, as the fire spread fiercer to complete its' horrible task. At every fresh groan the monsters discharged their guns in fiendish jubilee. A friend of the Sheas, named Philip Hill, who lived on the opposite side of the hill adjoining the house, heard the guns echoing in Slievenamawn, and, arousing his friends, made across, if possible, to save the Sheas. These men arrived too late ; nor did they dare to attack the murderers, who drew up at once to meet them. Philip Hill defied them to come on, but they declined the challenge, and waited the attack of the Inferior number. All this while the groans from the burning house were growing fainter and fainter, till at last they entirely subsided. John Hill, a boy who had a brother in the Shoes' house, had accompanied Hill, and eager to discover the mur derers, approached nearer than the rest to the fire, and by its light recognized William Gorman. The murderers re turned by the same way as they came, and were again observed by Mary Kelly from her hiding-place. The wretches as they passed her were rejoicing over their success, and William Gorman, with detestable and almost incredible inhumanity, was actually amusing the party by mimicking the groans of the dying, and mocking the agonies he and his comrades bad inflicted. The morning beginning to break, Mary Kelly, haggard and affrighted, returned home with her terrible secret, but she did not breathe a word either to her husband or her son, and the next day, when taken before a magistrate, denied all knowledge of the crime. John Butler also went back to the house of hie mother—an old woman— and, waking her, told her that her son had been burnt alive with all in the Sheas' house. The old woman uttered a wall of grief, but, instead of immedi ately proceeding to a magistrate, she en- Joined her eon not to ever disclose the secret, lest she and all their family should meet the same fate. The next day all that side the county gathered round the ruins. Mary Kelly was among them, and no doubt many of the murderers. The eight was a fearful one, even to those innocent of the crime. Of the:roof only the charredrafters were left; the walls were gaping apart; the door was burned to its hinges, close by it lay sixteen corpses, piled together those who were uppermost were burned to the very bones ; those below were only partially consumed. The melted flesh had run from the carcases in black streams along the scorched floor. The first thought of all had been to run to the door. Poor Catherine Mullaly's fate was the most horrible and most touching of all. In the midst of all the flame she had been prematurely delivered of a child— that unhappy child, born only to in stantly perish, was the eighteenth vie tim. In trying to save her child she had placed it in a tub of water, where it was found, with the head burned away, but the body, perfect. Near the tub lay the blackened body of the mother, her skeleton arm hanging over the water. The spectators beheld the sight with dismay, but they were afraid to speak. Some one whispered, sternly, " William Gorman is well revenged 1" Many at first tried to argue that the fire had been an accidental one, as no Rib bonmen would, they said, have ever destroyed so many innocent people, merely because they worked for the Rheas. This opinion gained ground among persons jealous of the national character, especially when no one came forward to obtain the large reward. At last, however, it was discovered that not only was the conflagration the result of I an extensive plot, but that the whole population round Slievenamawn knew of the project and its execution. For sixteen months Mary Belly kept the secret. She did not dare to reproach Maher,who constantly visited her house, and yet she shuddered at his approach. Gradnally her mind began to yield to the pressure. She became Incapable of sleep, and used, in the dead of the night, to rise and .wander over the glen, re maining by thoblack ruins of the Shea's hotiste till morning, and then returning, worn and weary, to herhome. She be lieved herseltpursubd by the spectre of her unhappy kinswoman, and said, on the private examinationsbeforce the Web. that,&o she never lay ;down la her bed without thinking 'of the "burning'.', and fancying she saw Catharine Mul- I,ANCAgrgitzPA.

"He was evidently," he says, "most anxious for the preservation of his life ; yet the expression of anxiety which disturbed his ghastly features occasionally gave way to the exulting consciousness of his revenge. 'As he heard the narration of hia•own delin quencies, so far from exhibiting contri tion or remorse, a savage joy flashed over his face ; hie eyes were lighted up with a fire as lurid as that he had kind led in the habitation of his enemies ; his hand, which had previously quiver ed and manifested, in the peculiar movement of his fingers, the workings. of deep anxiety, became fora moment clenched; and when the groans of his victims were described, his white teeth, which were unusually prominent, were bared to the gums, and though he had drained the cup of vengeance to the dregs, still he seemed to smack his lips and to lick the blood with which his injuries had - been redressed." Immediately after the conviction and execution of this monster, a large meet ing of Roman Catholics was held at Cioinnel to express horror at his crime, and to consider some means of remov ing the causes of such outrages. Mr. Shiel's speech to the peasantry produ ced an enormous sensation. "How deep a stain," he said, eloquently, "have these misdeeds left upon the character of your country! and what effort should not be made by every man of ordinary humanity to arrest the pro gress of villainy which is rolling in a torrent of blood, and bearing down all the restraints of law and morality.— Look for example, at the murder of the Sheas, and tell me if there be anything in the records of horror by which that accursed deed has been excelled, and say, you who know it best, you who are of the same sex as Catherine Mullaly, what mast have been the throes with which she brought forth her unfortu nate offspring, and felt her infant con sumed by the fire with which she was surrounded. We can but lift up our hands to the God of Justice and ask Him why He has invested us with the same forms as the demons who perpetrated that unexampled murder! And 'why did they commit it? By virtue of a hor rible league by which they were asso ciated together, not only against human nature and the God who made them ; they were bound together, they were sworn in the name of their Creator, and they invoke Heaven to sanctify a deed which they confederated to perpetrate by a sacrament of hell:" At these same assizes. which seemed to epitomise almost all the crimes and miseries of poor Ireland, there were two other cases which still after so many years are often referred to in Tipperary. The first of these trials was that of a band of men who en tered the house of a farmer named Barry, and killed him his wife's arms. Barry had refused to surrender some land from which he had evicted one of the conspirators, and the league had agreed to take his life. The assas sins broke into his house on the Sun day evening-. The frantic wife, grasp ing one of the murderers, desired him to think "of God, and of the blessed night, and to spare the father of her eight children. The man himself offered to give up the disputed ground, illedor untilled. They answered, with yells of ferocious irony, that "he Should soon have ground enough," and plunged their bayonets simultaneously into his heart. Among the prisoners at the dock were a young stripling with the down still on his cheek, an d a wild, haggard old man with a head covered with hoary and dishevelled hair. The second trial was that of Matthew Hogan and three of his kinsmen, for the murder of one or two of the Hickeys, members of a rival clan. The Tipperary people at that time were too fond of taking the law into their own hands. If a man received a blow, he instantly lodged a complaint with his clan, who at once, over their egg-shells of whisky, entered into a solemn compact the next fair-day to avenge the insult. The other side spent the time in industriously forming a reactionary confederacy. The next fair-day, before the booths were well up, a Hogan would suddenly strike a Hickey, or a pot-valiant Hickey go trailing his coat defiantly and insult ingly among the Hogans. Then up would go the blackthorns, and In two minutes the whole fair would be a whirl of battering sticks, and the air he dark with " two-year olds, " as clinkers and small square paving-stones are affec tionately denominated in Ireland; the screaming women come also from under the low tents, with stones in stockings, ready to give a coup de grace to any man of the opposite side who fell, or to step behind a redoubtable champion, perhaps at bay with his back against a wall, and fell him with a sudden side stroke. In the particular case we cite there were five hundred men engaged, and several of the Hickey party were left dead on the field. Matthew Hogan, whose fate excited strong sympathy, is described as a tall athletic man, with a finely formed face, totally free from any ferocity of expression. Hie landlord, who had a great regard for him, depos ed to his being an honest, industrious farmer, of a mild and kindly nature. He had never taken any part in any deeds of nocturnal crime, and was known as a gentle and humane.person, and liked by every oue with whom lie came in contact, He and his three kinsmen were all sentenced to transportation. When the sentence was passed, the colour fled from Hogan's cheeks, his lips became dry and ashy, his hands shook ; but no tear rose into his eyes. His grief was too great for tears. As one of his own clan said : "Hogan will feel It the more because he Is so tender." He was a prosperous farmer, with a young wifeand beautiful children. It was even proved that he had generous ly stayed his hand to save the life of an antagonist in the very hottest fury of the combat. But there was no respite for him. He was transported in spite of every effort of his friends. Unhappy lawlessness of an unhappy age! There are lots of young men with whom spending money is a positive disease. They constantly, demonstrate the truth of the familiar proverb. There is% sort of fatal profusion In their habits. Wothen are accused very unfairly of being over-extravagant. Asa rule, men are far more so; and the accountagainst them is principally due to those who fritter away everything they gain or sell in numberleis and nameless trifles. A woman has , a natural title to being well clad—to-being, indeed, clad so as to make the most of her appearance. She has a sense for Jewelry. To deny her ornaments is to stifle a genuine and reasonable instinct. But a 1:11811 who parts with ''considerable portion of his income to comply' with every freak of his tail or, and who really seems only to have used his brains upon the patterns of neckties, is one of the- most pitiable creatures alive. A gentleman ought to be correctly and neatly dressed. There IsSornething revolting, as well as start ling in the style in which the unfortu nate London cad turns out to air him self on the tops of omnibuexes and on the penny steamboatiton Sunday. Still, the extremes meet. The cad is not, in all probability, a greater Jackass than the person he mimics. BLe is also ex travagant in his own , miserablemay. He has given more than be can afford for his flaring scarf with his horrible brass pin, his embroidered shirt front, and all the rest of his vile paraphernalia. —London Revieiu.

Take him for all In all, our,Wickedest Man is a phenomenon. He reads the Bible to his dance-house &Is e and-his favorite papers are the' Nevi rark ;05- wryer and _lndependent.

'Wanderer's Friend at a time scattered about his place i for he takes an interest in mission work, and " goes in " generally for pro. gress for other people, This Wickedest Man is the only en tity appertaining to the shady side of New York life which we have been un able to fathom, analyze and account for. Rut he is too much for us. ~ .Why man being of his education, natural tasitef3, force of character, and wealth, should continue to live in a Water fitreei, dance-house, and bring up his children In a soul-destroying atmosphere of sin and degradation, is more than we can comprehend. For this Wickedest Man -loves his children. His little five-year-old boy is the apple of his eye, the core of his heart, and the chief object of his wor ship. He never misses an opportunity to'sound the child's praises and to show off his accomplishments. And, all things considered, the little fellow is truly a wonder. He is crammed full of information on all manner of topics, and is ever ready to respond to his do ting father's attempts to make his smartness visible to the naked eye. We have never visited the Wickedest Man's dance-house without having our attention called afresh to his little son's abilities, except once; when he took us round to the school which the child at tends, to let ussee thathe ranks with the best, and is a favorite with his teacher. This was on the 28th day of May last, at about a quarter to 12 in the day-time, when we went to 304 Water street to tell Mr. Allen that the fatal time had come for serving him up in a magazine article. For, be it known to the reader we have had our pen couched at John Al len for nearly two years. In the year 1805, the Sabbath after President Lin coln was assassinated, we began an ex ploration and subsoiling of New York city, as to its crime, poverty, want, woe, wretchedness and degradation, which we: have pursued ever since, as other engagements would permit. Of course, it was not long before we found out John Allen. We at once recognized his genius for wickedness, and made him an especial study. But, as we have said, he baffles us. We have told him so, and have frequently asked him to help us out of our dilemma, but he al ways comes short of the complete thing. We think we know why this Wick edest Man persists in living in his Wa ter street den--that we have, in fact, penetrated his secret ; but as we are not absolutely certain as to the match, we will not set our suspicion down in print lest we should do him injustice. We have said that our Wickedest Man is phenotttenon. We meant this in its application tp the deepest springs of his character; put it is also, and per haps equally applicable to the external manifestations of those deepest springs. Has the reader any notion of a Water j street dance-house ? Concretely stated, It is a breathing hole of hell—a trap door of the bottomless pit. You step from the street into a bar-room, where in lousy loafers lurk, and which is in some oases on a level with the sidewalk, and id others far below It; and there you are in the general midst of things, Jilt happens to be a dance-house of the very lowest class. But usually there is a"saloon" in the rear of the bar-room. Passing out of the barroom, by a door opening In a partition across its rear, you enter the dancing saloon, whica varies in size from fifteen feet square to a room twenty-five by fifty feet in ex tent. Along the wall of this room a bench extends, usually on three sides. In the farther end of the room is au or chestra, proportioned in numbers and skill to the prosperity of the establish ment. The number of musicians is sometimes as high as six, but the aver age is not more than three. In one of the rear corners of the saloon there is a small bar, where the girls can drink with their victims without exposing their fascinations to the unthriftful gaze of a non-paying and censorious outside public. Sitting on the benches, or grouped upon the floor, or whirling in the dance, arc the girls, varying in number from four to twenty, butaveraging about ten. These girls are not often comely to the fastidious eye. But to a sailor, just from a long cruise, where nothing love lier than his weather-beaten shipmates has for years been seen, they are not without attractions. So, too, docertain landsmen, of a degraded type, pay hom age to' their strenuous charms. But a decent man, in the full posseslon and equipoise of his faculties, can only re• 'gard them with sorrow unspeakable, and pity too deep for tears. The only girl we ever saw in a dance house in whom we could detect the slightest vestige of comeliness or refine ment, had been there but a few hours, and was reputed to be the daughter of a former- Lieutenant-Governor of a New England State. The first time we entered John Al len's dance house, we found it in full blast. The hour was eleven in the even ing. There were thirteen girls•in the saloon, three musicians in the orchestra, and seven customers submitting to the blandishments of an equal number of the ballet-dreesedeyrene who pervaded, the room. Our party •consisted of- the policeman who accompanied , us, three clergymen on the look dut for the "ele phant," Mr. Albert C. Arnold, of the Howard Mission, and the writer. The Wickedest Man was in his glory. Things were moving briskly. He gave us all a hearty welcome, ordered the orchestra to do their best, and told the girls to " break our hearts." A vigor ous dance followed, after which thepro prietor called out: "Hartford, go up stairs and get my baby." Hartford turned out to he one of the girls, who immediately disappeared, and soon returned bearing in her arms an undressed sleepy child, wrapped in a shawl. This was the juvenile prodi gy. His father took him , in his arms, with a glow of pride and affection upon his face, and said : "Now gentlemen, you are writers, philosophers, and preachers; 'but I'll show you that my baby knows as much as any of you. He's hell on 'reading, . writing,. praying, and fighting." And without more ado, he stood the sleepy little fellow upon the floor and began to catechise him in ancient his- Wry, both sacred and profane, and then in modern history,- geography, the po. Utica history cif-tb.e 'United States, eta., etc., with a result Which- astounded us all. Suddenly heexolaimed, "Chester, give us a song." • ; And Chester, for that is the child's name, gave us a song. "Now, Chester, give us a break. down." The orchestra played a " brealt-dOwn, ,, and Chester danced it with precision and vigor, his mother looking on with delight. • "Now, Chester, give us a prayer." And the child recited, first, the Lord's Prayer, and then others in successioh, mixed with which were such, ribaldry and profanity on the father's part as cut us to the heart. And here it was that we got a glimpse of thepre•emident wickedness of the man—wickedness to him unknown, and all the worse because of his tinconsciousness of it; wicked ness which is leading him to train up that idolized boy in a way and in an atmosphere which wlll.yet make him. an object of loathing even to, his own. heart. For that dance house ,ebild there abems to be noipiritual hope. .:The sa cred and the profane are' so Inter- bar. Itz:9Ll tr,!;'l.Eir biuo'cr tvg•NOcAp ti li htipA .

" Where did you learn it?'' asked an other of the clergymen. , '!At Sabbath School," was the reply. , Weal! looked at, one another. Here was a revelatton. These girls had been brought up to attend Sabbath School Perhaps they were the daughters of Christian parents! But we had not time to pursue this painful speculation, for the girls began to sing— "I.n.the Christian's home in y There is a land of rest And my Savior's gone before me, To fulfill .ray soul's request. °mars; "There is rest for the weary, . There to rest for you. (l the other side of Jordan, In tne sweet fields o; Eden. Where the Tree of Life is blooming, There Is rest for you." Ahd oh, with what fervor and pathos they sang—especially the chorus— which, at the end of each verse, they sang three times over, some of them, at last, weeping as they sang. What girl ish memories those sweet, simple strains evoked I Memories, perhaps, of once happy homes, and affectionate Sabbath school teachers, and beloved compan ions, so sweetly contrasting with their dance-house condition. And so those soul-weary creatures lingered fondly upon, and repeated over and over again, the lines: "On the other side of Jordan, In the sweet fields of Eden. Where the Tree of Life is blooming, There is rest for you." Since that occasion we have repeated ly visited the abode of the Wickedest Man in New York, for the purpose of "studying him up," and of trying to hit upon some means of inducing him to abandon his course of life, and of saving hie boy. For in truth, we not only feel an interest In, but also rather like him, wicked as he is. And so does nearly everybody whom we have taken to see him ; and we have taken scores— most of them clergymen. But all our efforts to get any vital hold upon, him have been In vain. He Is al ways', ready to let the girls "have a spiritual sing ;" will even permit a little exhortation to them in his dancing saloon; and is free with his Observer and Independent. But he keeps on his way with unylelded pertinacity. On one occasion a party of us suggest ed that he should let us hold a prayer meeting in his saloon. After a little reflection, he replied : " Well ; no, gentlemen ; I can't go that. You know that every man must have regard to his profession and the opinion of his neighbors. What with my Observer, and Independent, and you fellows coming here and singing camp meeting hymns, I am already looked upon In the neighborhood as being rather loose and unsound ; and if, atop of all that, I should let you hold a pray er meeting here, 1 should lose what little character I've got left." Glory and Taxes—Prophecy has become History. The following is the conclusion of a celebrated article contributed by the famous Roy. Sydney Smith, many years since, to the Edinburgh Review. What was prophecy then, is history now, and the people of the United States feel it in the increased taxation which the war has brought upon them, and which will entail taxes upon their children and their children's children to the latest generation. Speaking of the United States, the writer says :—"We can in form Jonathan what are the Inevitable consequences of being too fond of glory; taxes upon every article which enters the mouth, or covers the back, or is placed under the foot; taxes upon everything which is pleasant to see, hear, feel, smell or taste; taxes upon warmth, light and locomotion '• taxes on everything on earth and the waters under the earth; on every thing that comes from abroad, or is grown at home ; taxes on the raw material, taxes on every fresh value that is added to it by the industry of man ; taxes on the sauce which pam pers man's appetite, and the drug that restores him to health; on the ermine which decorates the judge and the rope which hangs the criminal ; on the poor man's salt and the rich man's spice; on the brass nails of the coffin, and the ribbons of the bride ; at bed or board, couchant or levant, we must pay. The schoolboy whips his taxed top ; the beardless youthmanages his taxed horse with a taxed bridle on a taxed road ; and the dying Englishman pouring, his medicine which has paid seven per cent., 'rape spoon thathaspaid fifteen per cent., flings himself back on his chintz bed which' hat paid twenty-two per cent., makes his will on an eight pound stamp, and expires in the arms of an apothe cary who has paid a license of one hun dred pounds for the privilege of putting him to death. His whole property is then immediately taxed from twoto ten per cent. Besides the probate, large fees ate demanded for burying him in the chancel; his virtues are handed down to posterity on taxed marble; and he is gathered to his fathers to be taxed no more. In addition to all this, the habit of dealing with large sums will make the Government avaricious and profuse; and the system itself will in fallibly generate the base vermin of spies and informers, and still more pes tilent race of political tools and retain ers of the meanest and most odious de scription ; while the prodigious patron age which the collecting of this splendid revenue will throw Into the hands of the Government, will Invest It with so vast an influence, and hold out such means and temptations to corruption, as all the virtue and public spirit, even of Republioane,will be unable to resist." A Married Man Comes Oat Even. Two friends, one an Englishman and the other a Frenchman, chanced to meet at the Paris exposition. " What I you in France, my dear William ?" said the latter. "I am de lighted to see you. How do you do?" " Not very well. I have been mar ried since I saw you last." "That's.good." "No, it isn't; for my wife was a shrew." " I am sorry:; that's bad." "Not altogether; for she brought me a dowry of ten thousand pounds ster ling. " Ten thousand pounds I That's good ; it consoles you -" "No it doesn't, for I invested the money in heads of cattle, and they all died of the disease that has just been raging in England." • " That's bad." "Not at all • for the skins brought me more than I paid for the tattle." " Then you 'are indemnified." "No, not altogether ; for I bought a flue house with the money, and it has just been burned:" " Oh, what a misfortune I" "Not so great a one, either, for my wife was in it, and she was burned with the house." - In the Lou Wane lEienate, yeah:fit, fifteen Democrat Senator&'took. the Cords tutional oath t 'and thus bmune qualified members.

The drawing-rooms were fairly transformed into flowery gardens of exquisite beauty. Immediately oppo site tim,arch way, and at the far end of the parlor, a canopy of white lace en wreathed With white lilie's, was erected over a large mirror, beneath which the marriage ceremony took • place, in the presence of the most distinguished and fashionable assemblage probably ever gathered upon such an occasion. The President of the United States was pres ent, with eminent statesmen, dignified diplomats, Cabinet ministers,. celebrated army and navy officers, and prominent officials, with hundreds of beautiful and accomplished ladies, whose rich and costly toilettes wonderfully added to the effectiveness of the scene. The guests began to arrive shortly after eleven o'clock, and by noon the parlors were crowded. The bridal party entered about twelve o'clock, and marched through the parlors beneath the canopy above described, where the ceremony took place. Rev. Dr. Pinckney, of the Church of Ascension (Episcopal) offic iated, Senator Joseph S. Fowler, of Tennessee, and Mr. E. Arnold, of New York, acted as groomsmen, and Miss Catharine Beach, of Saratoga Springs, New York, and Miss Augusta Foote, sister of the bride, as bridesmaids. IM 2 =! The bride has very rich light-brown hair, a fine bright blue eye, shaded liy long lashes, a sweet expressive face of child-like simplicity, and fair complex ion. She Is of rather petite form, and is about twenty-four years of age. The groomsman is tally erect and dignified in figure and carriage, as all remember who have seen him. ROW THEY WERE DRESSED Miss Foote was dressed in a very heavy white silk with goredskirt, a full empress train, low corsage with lace trimming. Over this was a dress of pure white illusion hanging in graceful folds and forming a pleasing contrast to the rich silk underdress. It was finished with two narrow flounces around the bottom of the skirt. A handsome sash with bows of white silk encircled the waist, the ends reaching nearly to the floor. Her rich curls mere surmounted with a handsome wreath of orange blos soms, from which was suspended an elegant tulle veil which fell behind to the hem of the dress. The first brides maid, Miss Beach, wore an underdress of blue silk with low corsage. Over this a dress of white India muslin with broad plaited flounce at the bottom of the skirt and a is panier overskirt. The sash and bows were of blue silk, and her hair was dressed In Antoinette style. The second bridesmaid, Miss Augusta Foote, wore an underdress of rose-colored silk, with low corsage andoverdress of white India muslin, with flounce and skirt similar to that of Miss Beach. Her hair was also dressed in the same style, which was very becoming. The groom and groomsmen wore light cassimere pants, dark-blue walking coats and white vests. Mrs. Foote, the mother of the bride, wore a heavy lilac silk trimmed with white point lace. Miss Newton, an aunt of the bride, from On, tario, N. Y. wore an elegant black lace over black silk. The bride was given away by her father. THE RECEPTION. After the wedding ceremony a recep tion was had until two o'clock, during which time the Senator and his beauti ful wife received the congratulations of their many friends. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the distinguished authoress, who has been at the National for some months past, is one of Mrs. Foote's warmest friends, and it was her culti vated taste and judgment that designed the beautiful decorations of the roorp. THE WEDDING PRESENTS, of which there was a large number, were rich and beautiful, the first being a very heavy solid silver service with salver, made by Tiffany & Co„ of New York, which took the first prize at the Paris Exposition. The workmanship on this was exquisite, and the entire service weighs more than forty pounds. This handsome present was from Mr. Cutler, of Missouri. The next was a costly brooch and ear-drops, Byzan tine Mosaic, from Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Arnold, of New York.

Campbell, Re publican, was entitled to the sac; as Sena tor from the Second District, to place of Anthony Sambold; Democrat, declared elected by General Buchanan, the Com mittee saying in their report that General Buchanan bad no right to change the re turn of the registrars. On motion that Mr. Campbell be sworn In, seventeen votes were cast, all in the affirmative, and Campbell took his seat, giving the Radicals twenty members present. No Democratic motnber could obtain recognition from the Chair. A motion that Mr. Allan, a black man and a Democrat, address the Senate, was tabled. The Chair then handed a cotnumnication to the Secretary, which he (Erected to ho read, and which proved to be the document demanded by Mr. Jewell. It was an order addressed to 0. J. Dunn, Lieutenant-Gov ernor. _ Th President of the Senate communicated the following telegram from General Grant to General Buchanan "I have no orders at present to give, but I repeat to you, as heretofore, that the members of the Louisiana Legislature are only required to take the oath prescribed by their Constitution, and aro not required to take the teat Oath prescribed in the Re construction acts. Generals Meade and Canby are acting on he view of the case. Signed U. S. GRANT. General Buchanan directs that the oath prescribed by the Constitution, and no other, be required. Mr. Dunn suggested that the communi cation be referred to a committee. The suggestion was adopted and a committee appointed. After the election of permanent officers a resolution, ratifying the fourteenth amenil ment was offered, but was postponed until the House is hoard from. The Senate then adjourned. A copy of General Grant's telegrtun was read to the House, and referred to a Com mittee. The Committee on Elections reported ad versely to the entire Democratic delegation from Caddo Parish whose names appear In the election order. The Republican mem bers wore accordingly sworn in. The House then adjourned. The City Comptroller, Sheriff, and Dis trict Attorney have taken possession of their offices under General Buchanan's or der of Saturday, taking the constitutional oath. Mr. laabell, temporary speaker of the House, today, after General Buchanan's order was read, said in his opinion tho House could decide what kind of test oath was necessary for the admission of mem bers' and that for his part he would not ac cept any order, either from Generals Grant or Buchanan pon the subject. A motion that the Democratic members of the House be notified of the reception of General Buchanan's communication wee made. The matter was then left to a com mittee of three. _ . Throughout the whole proceedings in both Houses to-day, every member who did not take the teat oath yesterday, as prescribed by the colored presiding ()dicers, was com pletely Ignored, though many were present on the floor. Inintinitude of the °wage Swindle The lands obtained from the Osage In dians for the benefit of the Leavenworth, Lawrence, and Galveston Railroad Com pany, comprise eight millions of acres of the best agricultural lands of the State, run ning from east to went 250 miles, and from north to south 50 miles. They include a territory nearly twice as large as Masse. chusotta, and almost as large as Massa chusetts, Connecticut and Delaware com bined. If distribnted under the Homestead laws, they would furnish 50,000 homesteads of 100 acres each, and would therefore sue lain a population of 250,000 persons by agriculture alone. If sold under the Pre emption laws, they would, beside the above result, bring Into the Treasury, at the regu lar price ($1.25 per acre), $12.000,000. For this immense region of country Stur gis's Galveston Railroad Company agreed to pay only $1.000,000, while another com pany, offered $2,000,000. Of this price they pay $lOO,OOO in cash and the balance in an nual installments extending over fifteen years. As the lands will sell far more rapidly when these Installments come due, the railroad company really nays $lOO,OOO for a monopoly of lands worth $12,000,000. No provision is made for protecting settlers, for protecting the State of Kansas In the right, guaranteed to her by the act admitting her into the Union, to every sixteenth and thirty-sixth section of the public lands of the State for the benefit of common schools. The State of Kansas thus loses from its school funds the value of 1,94 sections, or 445,- 100 acres, of land. By similar pre vious treaties tho Suite had ben rob bed of 70,160 acres of its school lauds, so that, should this nefarious and un conscionable swindle pass the Senate, the State of Kansas would have been despoiled of 521,320 acres of school lands, which would, with ordinary management, have yielded $3 an acre, being a total of $1,501,060. The bids of rival companies offered to secure tho school lands to the State, protect half-breeds and actual settlers, and pay r 4 per cent. more, but they were rejected. Why ? The State officers of Kansas have denounced and protested against this sublime land steal, and her representative, Sidney Clarke, is making a gallant stand for the people against the monopolists and corruptioulsts. But as yet the Kansas Senators have been silent, and we therefore fear that they have fallen into the toils of this prodigious snare. If so, their fate at the hands of the people of Kansas may be pre dicted without the gift of prophesy.— The grant is rendered specially absurd from the fact that the Railroad Company pro pose to build in the State of Kansas only 150 miles of road, the cost of-which at $25,- 000 per mile (the actual cost should not ex ceed $lO,OOO per mile) wouid amount to on. I ly $3,750,000, or about a third of the value-, of the Osage lands. Toward defray- ing this cost they have already received I from the General Government 500,000 aaren of lands, lying on the line of the reed, and, worth $750,000 from the State, 125,000 acres, worth V 3 an acre, or' $375,000; and from the counties through which it passes they receive bonds to the value of WOO,OOO, making an aggregate of aid amounting to $2,025,000 or about two-thirds the cost of I the road n Kansas. But should the Osage grant add, in addition to their present franchises, lands worth $12,000,000 more, they will have achieved a net profit over the entire cost of their road of $10,275, 00P, before laying a single rail. Letters, petitions, protests, and resolutions of Indig nation meetings, are pouring in upon us from the people of Kansas denouncing this gigantic swindle. Every consideration of humenity to the Indians and to the settlers, as well as of regard for the rights of the State Government, especially in its educa tional lands, and that prudent forecast which would oppose the monopoly of our public lands by great corporations, all cent 'bine to point out thelalear duty of the Senate to defeat this measureless wickedness. It Is full of future oppression and disaster to the people of a young and heroic State.— N. Y. Tribune.
