FROM THE WEST INDIES BIT MAIL.
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Havana, February I, lBoB.—After mmf days
nearly as warm as the dog-days, we have had a
change of Weather. It commenced by a great
display of lightning and some rain on the' night
of Wednesday list On the following morning
the wind blew, almost a gale. The barometer fell
eo low on Thursday that, the Spanish mail
e teamer was not allowed to sail. She departed at
noon to-day, however,'notwithstanding the high
sea and strong wind. This change of weather has
been very favorable for the complete disappear
ance, of the cholera, not only here, bat. in the
conn try,where it was spreading, particularly in the
plantations near CabaDos. On one of these plan
tations, situated near the sea-shore, lo negroes
were attacked by the cholera in less than twenty
fonr hours, and 7 of the cases proved fatal.
The issue of a million dollars in new shares by
the Spanish Bank of this city has proved almost
a failure. The error was committed of fixing
the new. shares at a prime of twenty per cent,so
that the old ones fell to eighteen, par cent, and
as was natural, the capitalists prefer ttf.-buy.at
that price than to take the new shares at twenty
per cent «
The City Connell is still laboring;in a difficult
financial situation. It owes a great deal of
money, end, for the present, it is penniless.
Even the teachers of the public schools are not
paid. lam told that the corporation is about to
raise two loans, one of $600,000 here, and another
ot $1,000,000 In England.
• The colored people of this city are discontented
because the Government has notyet appointed a
day for their- celebration of Twelfth Cay, or
“Devil's Cay,” as it is termed, and which was
prevented at the usnal time, (the 6th of last
month) on account of the cholera. The negroes
grumble, and look rather threatening, and in
consequence extra..patrols are to be. seen.every,
night in the streets.
The favorite amusement of the inhabitants of
this city, the masquerade, was inaugurated on
Friday night at the Great Theatre, bat there was
little animation, and very few decent peqple
were present. '

It was deemed probable that the capital would fall
into the hands of Baez, and as he is vindictive,

' CRUMB.
AWFIX SVICIDI U CALIFORNIA*
faitlcnliui of (be Suicide ol Colonel
BlcOarnt of tfae Thirty-second.
United states Infantry.
[From the San Francisco Bulletin of Dec. 3LI
Onr community was startled this morning by.
the announcement that Col. Edward McGarry
had committed suicide at his rooms in the Oeci-;
dental Hotel, by cutting bis throat. The par
ticulars ot this horrible affair, as far as they
could, in the nature of things, be ascertained,
appear to be as follows: For some time Col.
McGarry has been residing with the family of
cx-Gov. Low. About a week or ten days since
he became slightly indisposed and' went to the
Occidental Hotel, where be took a room and
was attended by his servant, a colored man. He
was confined to his room a part of the time, but
appeared frequently on the streets, and visited
his friends in the hotel.. At these periods he
seemed to be ta his usual spirits, and was tree and
social, as had always beennis habit, nothing ap
pearing in his conduct to arouse a suspicion fa
the minds of bis most intimate friends that he
contemplated the destruction of his own life.
Last evening he was in his apartment About I
A. M. to-day his servant went to the room and
found him awake. Tfae servant asked him
how he felt, and he replied, jocularly,
1 ‘First rate, yon bctl” The man then retired. On
going to his room again early this morning, the
servant found the door locked. He rapped, bnt
there wasno response; called his name, but there
was no reply. He then hastened down Btalrs and
told Mr. Bardenberg that he thought there must
be something wrong with Col. McGarry, that he
could not open the door.. Mr. Hardcnberg and
another gentleman .proceeded to his room, and
receiving no response from within, they l buret
the door, and it struck against the prostrate and
lifeless body of the unfortunate man. The
room presented a horrible scene. McGarry
lay on his back on the floor, with a pillow under
his shoulders, and his body drawn up and partly
concealed by the bed-clothes, which- he had
pulled over him in the last death struggle. The
remaining pillow on the bed, the sheets and blan
kets were saturated and crimson with blood, and
in the middle of the couch lay oh ordinary pearl
handlelhree-blade pocket-knife, the large blade
opened and stained to the haft with blood; it was
the instrument with which he perpetrated. the
awful act of self-murder. The head of deceased'
was thrown-back, and immediately in front on
his throat, and near the base of the neck,*was a
wound about an inch in width.with jagged edges,
indicating that the knife waa stabbed into his neck
and then twisted abont till the windpipe and ar
teries were severed. Death was not instanta
neous. He had evidently cut his throat while in
bed. He then got up, ana the traces of his bloody
fingers can be seen high up on the wall opposite
the bed, over some clothes, and on the panel of
the door. He then, to all appearances, returned
to the bed, took off one of the pillows, placed it
on the floor, and lying down, pulled the clothes
partly off, covered himself, anti died. The floor
was covered with blood, and there were splatches
o’f it on the marble-top stand. On this lost were
two bottles of medicine, and a package of the
some in powders lying near them.
I Information of the - suicide was at once con
veyed to the Coroner, who came to the room and
made an examination of eveiythtag in it. He
found no writing bv the deceased, but only some
notes and letters addressed to him. His friends.
consider that he committed suicide while labor
ing under temporary insanity.
I It is said that CoL McGarry waa ,a native of
New York. He was a self-made man. Many
oif his friendß here recollect seeing him first
when he was -employed in., a. livery stable in
Rochester, N. Y. when'war with Mexico was
declared he went into that country as a sutler
oh Taylor’s line. After the close of that war
he came to this State, and aC the breaking out
of the war of the rebellion he was at Stockton.
He joined the volunteers, anff went- to-Utah -as
Captain of a company in Colonel Connor's regi
ment. In that service he distinguished himself
in several sanguinary engagements. Afterwards
he was promoted to the ranks of captain, major,
■and finally, at the time of his death, he was lieu
tenant-colonel of the 32d Regiment of United
States Infantry. He acted as Judge-Advocate in
the trial of the Harppnding piracy case in this
city, and was for several years a member of the
Legislature from Napa county. He was a man
of very warm and ardent temperament, emi
nently social, and had a very large circle of
friends and acquaintances, who will deplore W -
death and the awful circumstances which at
tended it.
Tbe ScknylklU murder—The Case of
Capt. Kelirer.
! The Lebanon Advertiser says: “A great deal of
excitement was occasioned In and around Schuyl
kill county by the reported confession of a young
man in,regard to the - murder of Capt. Kehrer.
We did not believe a tithe of the reports, and
hence, did not publish them. It now turns out
as we expected. No parties were arrested in
Buffalo; no letter was got from the Dead Letter
Office; the party who should have confessed de
nies all about it, and the U. S. Detective who
should have wormed ont the mystery has disap
peared. ■ Thus the whole affair remains as here
tofore— a murder, the dead body not found, and
the perpetrators of the tragedy unknown.”
' 1 we learn from the friends of the missing man
in this city that the above is substantially true,
rind to it we add the following particulars: The
detective,- Carpenter, after bringing out the “con
fession” of young Aibrighton, charged his
Brother, brother-in-law and a man by the name
Of Lomison with having conspired to secure the
murder of Capt. Kehrer through two Irish
men, Btated that he would go to Altoona
lifter a Woman who had’’been a house
keeper of Lomlßon’s and was charged with'
having washed the bloody, clothes of the
missing Captain. For some unexplained reason
He went ,to his home in Wyoming. Alter his de
parture youngAlbrighton denied having, made
iLo confession, no Irishmen could be found, and
“dead letter” proved to be a hoax. ‘ .Parties
Started after Carpenter, and,after some difficulty,
arrested him In a mill where he had fled to avoid
Observation. He was taken to Pottsville, and
placed >in the jail; where he is now confined.
Thus everything seems to be again shrouded in
mystery, and we shall anxiously await develop
Arrest of a Notorious Counterfeiter—
j Spurious National Bank. Notes.
I The Cincinnati Commercial,‘oi Monday, says:
‘fin March last wis.had occasion to chronicle the
irrest. in thls viafeity, by United States detective
E. L. Quinton, of Charles Ulrich, one Of the
most prominent counterfeiters of the United
States, and, from the fact,of being a very accom
plished engraver moßt, dangerous. of all of them.
He was arrested in company with another man
and woman, and in his possession was . found a
five hundred dollar National Bank plate, the
pack of which he had finished, and, upon tho
face of which he was then “engaged. He had
diready engraved the counterfeit $lOO plates
On the National Banks for New folk, Boston and
Cincinnati. From this point Ulrich was taken
to New York, and thence to the Brooklyn tail,
as he was wanted in the East; He managed to
out of that jail and to escapetoCanada
early toJuhe.'Am'hewastoo-dangerousa'man'
to be allowed his liberty, if that cotud possibly be
Avoided. Chief Wood. of Washington, and Detec
tive Quinton exerted themselves to, recapture
him. After a long chase they finally captured him
at the Rosin House, in : Toronto, Canada West,
and immediately took steps to bring him back to
the United States. ,
i “They experienced many ■ difficulties In this,
the prisoner having a smart lawyer to defend his
ease;- and finally, after giving in all their testi
mony, they were compelled; (o mturn without
him, final dedaion in the cafe having:been:do-’
(erred. IP the I .latterpart.sf;October, Ulrich
managed to break jail again, at Toronto/ and to
successfully evade, pursuit. 1 Detective Quinton
dctc¥toined ‘to secure him and bring him to jus
tice, W that were possible, immediately esm
menc«i|work again In an effort to obtain-traceof
him./Jin this effort he succeeded about a month
Bgo.fy He started out then on his thlrd chase after
the man, and made the round of Eastern and'
• Western cities, without coming upon him. .A
few day* since, bewever, ho ascertained that his
fame would be in the city in; a short time, and
e Immediately made preparations ,! to put the
‘collar’ on the fugitive ‘coniaker.’ In this ho
finally succeeded, fist evening, at the Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton depot, ‘ where he found
Ulrich preparing to leave the city. Ulrich sur
rendered quietly."
DISASTERS.
Boiler Explosion in PMabnrclt-Two
Ben Killed.
[Fjorn the Pittsburgh Gazette of Feb. SI
A boiler explosion occurred yesterday morn
ing abont 5 o’clock, at Frahktown, in the works
of Mr. John D. Gray, resulting in the death of
John Harris, the engineer, and fatally injuring
his son, who was employed as fireman. One of
- the employe's of the mill had just arrived when
the explosion took place, and on running in to
see the cause found the fireman lying some dis
tance from the furnace , terribly bruised and
scalded. He called assistance and carried the in
jured man to bis bouse, which was but a short
distance off and returned ,to the mill for
the purpose of getting some oil to dress his
wounds, when he heard the groans of the engi
neer, and upOD going to the spot whence the
groans proceeded, found him under the
Sitman In an almost lifeless condition.
[e wits removed at once, and con
veyed: to his residence, where he died in about
twenty minutes alterward. The building and ma-,
chinery were but slightly damaged by the acci
dent, the only injury being the destruction of the
shed which covered the boilers.
. Coroner Clawson was notified of the affair and
eummoned a jury. Several, witnesses were ex
amined relative to the cause of -the explosion,
who all agree that it was attributable to an in
sufficiency ofvwstesltt the boiler. The deceased
was abont forty-live years of age, and leaves a
family of five children, three girls and two boys,
one of whom is married, and the other, who was.
injured, is about twenty-one years.
Another BaUroad Accident—Fatal
lllsaiter.
iFrom the Bt. Paul (Minn.) Frees of the 4th fnnt. J
Another one of those fatal accidents that makes
the blood almost creep with horror, happened
yesterday on the 8L Paul' and Pacific Railroad
near the Lake Como .crossing. A wood train
came in on this road in the afternoon, arriving
here about 4% o'clock. Soon after the arrival of
the .train, the 4% o’clock accommodation for
Minneapolis departed on the Bame road. When
the accommodation train reached the Lake Como
crossing they discovered a man, a little
lying upon the track. The train was stopped;
and on going to where he lay, it was tound
to be a .lifeless body, with the head
and left arm entirely severed.
The remains were placed on board the train
and carried to Bt. Anthony. A despatch was at
once sent back here. In the meantime the hands
on 'the wood train discovered that a brakeman
named James McGuire waa missing. As soon as
the despatch waa received a special train was
despatched for the remains, and they were
brought to this city and carried to his'home,
corner of Rosabel and Third. From the clothing
it was evident that the remains were those of
James McGuire, brakeman of the wood train.
Burning ol a Steamer.
[From the St, Lonie Democrat of February 4.1
At 7 o’clock last night the , mammoth steamer
Gfticft Dolsen, one of the largest boats on the
river, was burned to the waterYfedge at the foot
of Lesperance street. The engines proceeded
toward the spot, but the position of the burning
steamer .being. inaccessible to thevnachlnesthe
firemen gave up the chase and returned to their
houses. One of the ferry-boats came alongside
after the upper works, had fallen in, but, from
some cause, no stream was thrown, and the ferry
steamed away,' leaving the Clara to her fate. The
origin of the fire is nnknOwn. The boat had been
laid up since October, and had no freight on
board. She was worth about 840,000, and is in
sured in Cincinnati companies.
A Journey Overland from Walrussia.
[From tbe Bt. Paul Frees of Feb. 3.]
We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday a
gentleman who has just reached the city, having
been engaged since last August in making the
perilous and adventurous overland trip from our
new Knseian American possessions.
The gentleman in question was one of the early
employes of the Oveerland Tele
graph Company, whose - lines . were
to run- through Russian America, thence
across to Russia and to. St. Petersburg, and has
been in the employ of the company that has
since carried on the work. The company having
suspended operations for a time, he came down
to the southern part of “Russian America” and
going up Canal,” the salt water inlet
which forms its southern boundary, and ascend
ing Nosb river (given on some maps as Simpson
river),started in August last on his overland trip.
By making a portage he was able to cross by
means of a line of small lakes from the head
waters of the Simpson river to Fort McLeod, on
the headwaters of the PePce river. Passing down
this branch he cametinto the Finley river, and
soon into the Peacdwver proper; following this
river, which-flaws along a- beautiful valley
through the Rocky Mountains, he kept op. hfe
canoe with his Indian guide to Dnnvegan House.
Here he went out of the way to visit Smoky
river, so caUed from the country being clouded
with smoke from the burning peaks, the soil
being a mass of earth mingled with asphalting.
or petroleum. .. .. . v
: Continuing his journey, sometimes in a canoe,
sometimes on a horse and sometimes on foot; he
crossed to Lesser 81ave'Lake,up' the stream at its
northerly, end,: and thence by portage' across to
the Saskatchewan, and dojvn it to the Carlton
House., Here the Water courses were leit alto-
f ether, and our adventurous traveler continued
is journey , on-horseback and in dog sleds to
Fort Garry on,the Red; River, thence with dog
sleds, which carry the-mail, to Pembina andjjtort
Abercrombie, and thence to this city, whence .he
intends to proceed to New York, where he will
shortly take the steamer for California,
f One not accustomed to that mode of life can
hardly imagine the, difficulties, privation's and
dangers attending, such a journey through a
country, a large portion of which was inhabited
only by the Indians, and dependent upon them
for supplies of food, for the traveler and guide,
which" were . often obtained with the greatest
difficulty. . ~ • '
Our adventurer was for a considerable length
of time in. the central portion of “Russian
America” dr AlPska, having aided in clearing the
route for the telegraph line, which, starting from
the terminus of other Unes which run up from
California, through Oregon and British Colom
bia to thesouthern boundary,of our new .pos
sessions, thence has penetrated well up toward
the interior. He Is weU posted as to its
the nature of the country and capabilities, being
a shrewd observer, and having a large fund of
general knowledge.
It will b* seen that on some of the late mape,the
.Towcaan river is represented as flowing in to the
Arctic Ocean, while onothera this is bnt a branch
of a large rive* which flows into the Atlantic
nearßondng Btraltß. The latter Is correct, thts
river, whlch-te. called the Kitchpitch (we don’t
claim to give the Rnssian" spelling),' being navi

of the country.

lumber trade with California and Oregon seems
destined to be an important one as well as across
to Asia, as it was necessary to ship immense
quantities of ’telegraph poles from the Pacific
coast to supply the Asiatic end of the line.
Some portions of the country are dotted With
numerous lakes and occasional marshes, others
are richly supplied with minerals, which have
heretofore no); been worked, for two reasons—
one being the difficulty of access, and the other
that all precious metals found, until the recent
purchase, fell to the royal treasury.
Gardena ore common and fine vegetables are
raised. Thermoriletrical observations have been
regularly kept for four years at Fort Youcon, on
the Youcon river, abont midway between the Pa
cific and Arctic Oceans, showing a temperature
about the same as Quebec and Montreal. The cod
fisheries near the islands along the coast are un
surpassed, while the finest furs are wonderfully
plentiful and cheap—being bought for .a trifle
from the Indians in the Interior. .
Many and conflicting statements have already
been published in regard to Alaska, which makes
the description ot one whose acquaintance with
the country la the result of recent and personal
observation. of special interest. We give his
statements as they were famished to us, with
holding his name at his request, his position, and
the business connected with his present trip ren

THE Gil ANT-JOHNS ON QDABREI*.
Horace Greeley on tbe Situation.
[From to-day’a Tribune. ]
We do not see how General Grant could have
taken any other course. If he really made the
promise the President alleges, then he must be a
fool or a knave, for his friefids were making his
canvass upon the express understanding that in
this Tenure of Office law, as in all other laws,
he would obey Congress. Wo do not think there
is a well-informed bricklayer In New York who
does not take this view. For the President to
suppose that Grant could follow any other path
is to us incomprehensible.
Then comes another phase! It is very hard to
say just what we feel without appearing to be
intemperate in speech. The President is disap-
Eointed, piqued, chagrined. In the first place,
e cannot play Grant as a silent chessman. The
General is not willing to irnst the President's as
surances that if he is put in jail he' will be pro
tected. Of course Mr. Johnson * desired this.
With Gen. Grant nominally resisting Congress,
he would have had a glorious quarrel,
and shown an enormous quantity of ‘‘vigor.’’
But Stanton goes ta and Grant goes out.
Plainly, there is bnt on 6 course. He must either
submit or resist. If Stanton has been absolutely
removed, as the President contends, then he
should be turned out as a usurper by the police,:
or a new Secretary appointed, and an order is
sued to obey him, and him only. This would
have been no more a disobedience of law than
for Grant to have held the office
after Stanton’s restoration. The Supreme
Court was open to Johnson os well as to
Grant. There was one plain course. But it
required pluck, for over ail lowered the Senate
and the House and the never-ceasing sough-'
ing of impeachment. The President neither
resists nor yields, bnt scolds! He sends
for the correspondents—a lively scribe
named “J, B. 8., particularly, and for Coyle,
the tragedian of l the Intelligencer —and has arti
cles written; and in forty-eight hours—all over
the country—the General of the Army, by the
direct prompting and ’ suggestion of the Presi
dent of the United States, is denounced os a
“liar.” a “sneak,", and a dishonorable man.
. I There is something ruffianly; in all this. We
afe no champion of General Grant. We do not
approve of many things be hap done.. We think
he has allowed his amiability and deaire for quiet
to place him too often in a questionable posi
tion, and thus to injure the cause. 1 lh this last
business, however, he has shown qualities that
add to his great fame, and justify the confidence
of loyal men. It will, of course, bring upon him
the howls and Imprecations of the rebel and Cop
perhead, especially when incited and suggested
by thd President. Mr. Johnson has done many
things to grieve the heart of the nation. His last
little game is the most humiliating and unenvia
ble of all.
