Sweet Sundays, rising der ih ovr d,
Have never failed to bring their calai.
Still from their tranquil wings mifurled,,
On the tired heart distilling bahri,
A purer air bathes all the fields,
A purer gold the generous Sky;
The land a hallowed Ellcnce yields.
All things in mute glad worship lie—
All save where careless innocence
In the great Presence sports and plays,
A wild bird whistles, or the wind
Tosses the light snow from the sprays.
/-
FOr life renews itself each week—
Each Sunday seems,to crown the year—
The fair earth rounds ag fresh a cheek
, As though just made another sphere.
: The shadowy film that sometimes breathes,
ii Between our, thoughts and Heaven departs,
Tba holy hour so brightly wreathes
Its solemn peace about our hearts.
And Nature, whether sun or shower,
Caprices with her soaring days,
Bests conscious, in some happy sense,
Of the wide smile that lights her ways.

THE COBBLER ARTIST, JOHN KELSO HUNTER
An autobiography of John Kelso Hunter,
artist and cobbler at sixty-two years of age,
appears, from the 'Spectator's notice of it,
to be,a mine of anecdote and pleasant egotism.
Says the reviewer :
"Every incident in bib toilsome day was
seized upon as a means of education ny this
man, innocent of the teaching of the schools:
his whole soul was hungering after a wider
life; a wider life, mentally, not socially.
Nothing that he met with was counted base,
and the hunger after a rise in the social scale
did not come into the mind of the simple
Scot; more troubled how e a wife and eight
weans under eleven years auld, and only
twal' shillings a week to buy a' the necessa
ries o' life,' were to be kept. 'tight and right,
and in thack and rape.' The story of his thrift,
and how he was outdone by another, is too
good to be passed by. He says the regular
dinner for his family was potatoes and the
juice of a penny bone daily; and that the vir
tue might be properly extracted, it was hue
on the fire the night before, and well boiled
down next day, when,with plenty of potatoes
stoved with the broo, it made an excellent
dinner, but he adds, "I was at one time fairly
eclipsed by a Kilbarchan weaver's wite. We
walked together horn Paisley to Johnstone.
She had eight of a family. I was telling her
how to manage the bone soup. '0 man,'
quo' she, 'I used to do that, but I hae fa'n in
tae a better way. I put on the bone at ten
o'clock, and the dinner is ready at twa. Then
as soon as the dinner is past, I put on the
bone-again-and-lets-it boil-awa' till-next-day,-
and that way I get twa days out opt."
A man who hiTcl spent much - time in the
study of the microscope, met Hunter as he
stood by a stream watching the fish. The
stranger made a few common-place remarks
on the ways of men and eels, adding, 'We
are not as honest as the eel; he eats straight
...lorward;we eat each other indirectly. How
ever, it is just the same in the, invisible
world. Have you made a study of it?' With
delicious naivrtt Hunter replied 'he had read
.Satan's Invisible World Discovered. The
Stranger,' he says, 'looked at him in amaze
ment, and explained it was the microscope
lie meant.' This was Hunter's first intro
duction to its mysteries; he did not rest till
be discovered 'Auld Watty Douglas had in
.., i his own possession the door (we should
4,3l;ave preferred to say window) to this new
*VI/World, in the shape of a powerful microscope, '
manufactured by himself.'
4
-'-' '''-• The notice thus introduces a good criticism
by Hunter on the works of Turner:
"It is something for Scotland and her peo
ple that this man and many like him could
be recognized as worthy students, if not
masters in art, while the same hand that
wielded the brush by day was laboring pain
fully with the cobbler's awl through the long
hours of the night, never ashamed of his cob
bler's apron, with no dawning sense of in
compatibility between aspirations so high as
to have taken in Turner's full power, as we
may judge from the following morsel of criti
cism:
" 'J. M.. W. Turner had seven specimens of
his art on their walls. Whatever others
might or may think, his pictures to me were
the most marvellous of any 'n the exhibi
tion. They were indications of pictures;
painted with the colors which constitute
light—red, blue and yellow. Wind and sun
light moved among his clouds. His water
had motion. ills mountains were indica
tions; so was everything else. He indicated,
and you were left a freedom to till up your
own picture. Wherever form went, there
the prismatic rays went—reddish, greenish,
bluish, yellowish, pinkish, purplish, silvery,
gray, in abundance; aud, in some spot of
interest, the pure power of color, from
which everything else in the picture tied to
its native place. He was a genius who could
think, act and stop. The must labored paint
ings, in which were the earthly colors of ob
jects, fell to dirt before his light-filled phan
toms.'"
"WILKIE COLLINS S LAST sTuity
The English critics will none of the
"Moonstone." The Spectator is particu
laxly severe :
The "Moonstone" is not worthy of Mr.
Wilkie Collins's reputation as a novelist.
We are no especial admirers of the depart
ment of art to which he has devoted himself,
any more than we are of double acrostics,.
or anagrams, or any of the many kinds of
puzzle on which it pleases some minds to
exercise their ingenuity. Still if readers like
a book containing little besides a plot, and
that plot constructed solely to set them
guessing, there is no particular reason why
they should not be gratified. The making
and guessing of conundrums are both harm
less exercises of ingenuity, but when men of
intellect engage in them they ought at least
to succeed. If the work is to lie done at all,
the better it is done the nearer does
it rise to a work of genuine intellect
ual interest. Hitherto Mr. Wilkie Collins
has done his work well, has been
among the makers of conundrum-novels
something more than chief, the only one
whose 'writing was endurable by cultivated
taste. Few men who could read the Woman
in White at all read it without pleasure, or
forgot its one character, the subtle, cowardly,
intellectual sybarite Count Fosco. The plot
of No Name also was worked out with rare
skill, such skill as to suggest a regret that it
had not been all expended on the heroine, Mag
dalen Vanatone, the born actress, and the
single person in the story with a character at
all. Captain lyragge only appears to have
one, and is obliged to tell you every five min
utes what kind of villain be is. The exces
sive and morbid improbability of Arrnadale
-could not destroy all its interest, or the curi
osity of its readers in the proceedings of that
vulgarized Becky Sharp, Miss Gwilt. In the
lifoonstone, however, we have no person
who can in any way be described as a char
ter, no one who interests us, no one who is
human enough to excite even a taint emo
tion of dull curiosity as to his or her fate."
TEE NEWLY•DISUOVEILED "M 111 ON
The Saturday Revicw thus comments
"With the hot weather and the close of the
I3eEsion we naturally expect the usual flight
canods and wonderful discoveries, but it
lEMM:Mg
DAYS OF RES F.
is seldom that our expectation is satisfied in
so artistic a fashion as it has been by Mr.,
Henry Morley., 'The marvelous Stogy of the
Atlantic skipper who broke his ship's—back
in driving her over a closely-packed shoal of
herrings on the American coast paled before
the sudden appearance on our breakfast
tables of •an unknown epitaph of Milton's,
existing in the poet's haudwriting and au
thenticated by the poet's initials. So far as
society is concerned, a story of this kind has
done its duty if it weathers through a couple
of evenings, and it is only as a matter of lit
erary interest that the world watches its ruin
and decay. And certainly for a couple of
evenings Mr. Morley and his epitaph had a
wonderful rqp. There was the ro
mance of the discovery itself, the rare
chance that preserved the lines in a col
lection so well known as the King's Library
from previous inquiries, the analogies and
contrasts which it offered to other poems of
Milton's. Then there was that wonderful
word - intik,' and the speculations as to its
meaning, and the wilder speculations as to
its philological value. Just, too, as the in
terest began to flag, Lord Winchilsea ran
a muck in big type through the rhymes and
similies of the epitaph, and gave one the
threefold opportunity of defending them, or
of denying them to be Milton's, or of assert
ing that Milton's rhymes were usually bad,
and his similies scholastic rather than natu
ral The epitaph, therefore, contributed its
fair share of amusement to mankind, and no
one had a right to complain when one learned
critic proved that the discovery was no dis
covery at all, but that the lines had been
copied in his pocket-book years ago, and
when other learned pundits declared that the
handwriting was not Milton's, and that the
first letter in the magical initials was not a
`J,' but a P.'
"Mr. Morley's discovery, as we have said,
turns out to be no discovery at aIL Professor
Masson had long been familiar with the vol
ume and its epitaph, as might have been ex
pected from the patience and research which
he has expended on the stibjeot of Milton.
But it never seems to have occurred to Mr.
Morley to seek counsel from other investiga
tors in the same field,or, on a question which
was especially one of handwriting, to consult
the experts who were close at hand in the de
partments of the Museum. Instead of 'thought
playing over the subject,' we have simply a
precipitate rush to the Times. Nor is the
rush more precipitate than Mr. Morley's de
cision. His letter announces authoritatively
the genuineness of the poem and the correct
nub ef the - initials. It is only when a little
wholesome skepticism hal; arisen that Mr.
Morley lowers his tone. Gradually through
a crowd of 'looped letters' and discussions
over the 'turned d' and 'final p' we learn that
to is 'PO expert.' that he admits his verdict
may have been influenced by points of
resehrbiamte nice are really - common' -
to the handwriting of the period, and by the
fact that 'he had Milton in his mind.' In
plainer words, he had unwisely pronounced
an off hand decision on a question that above
all required cool judgment and special know
ledge. We can hardly wonder at the brusque
ness with which scholars like Mr. Bond and
Mr. Rye warn the public that neither the
handwriting nor the initials are Milton's.
But these gentlemen may fairly leave all
criticism on Mr. Morley to Mr. Morley him
self. The lines he printed—
`Until sweet Piyclicshall inspire
A Eattning and zetific lire—'
raised so much learned dust over the last
wonderful compound that few people will be
tempted to forget the blunder which, from
ignorance or forgetfulness of a common con
traction, had manufactured the word out of
`prolific.' But the blunder is really a per
fectly fair index to the temper of mind of
which all this hasty judgment and yet more
hasty rush into print is the larger outcome."
PROTESTANT PROI'A6ANDISM IN IRELAND AliD
ITS RESULTS ON THE PRIESTLY MINI)
The Bl'l IS.TIN has already published an
ecdotes extracted from the Irish "Journals,
&c.," of the late Nassau W. Senior, the best
authority on the state of popular feeling in
the Green Isle. Mr. Senior thus introduces a
letter, conceived in the very spirit of the In
quisition, from a bigoted priest named Fitz
gerald :
"October G.—Stephen Spring Rice put into
my hands this morninga printed letter from a
Mr. Fitzgerald,the Riman Catholic Archdea
con of Italkeale, in the county of Limerick,
addressed to the jurors of Rathkeale:
" 'There are,' it says, 'for trial at the quar
ter sessions this week some persons charged
with breaking the peace towards the spiritual
traders who have made K-- the scene of
their attempts at religious ruin—l may say,
spiritual murder; for every sincere Catholic
must, and does, hold that, without faith, it is
impossible to please God: and this saving
faith—the sine qua non of escape from eter
nal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels,
he believes, with St. A.thanasius and the Uni-
versa! Church of all ages, to be that true
"Catholic Faith" without which no one can
be saved. In the eyes of every Catholic these
K-- mountebanks are persons who seek to
poison to death (the second death in the Lake
of Fire) the souls of all whom they can in
duce to swallow their doses. If a person
were indicted for an assault on a spiritual poi
soner, if I were a juryman, I would, without
leaving the box, acquit the prisoner. If the
intruder had come for the purpose of robbing,
no jury woi.ld condemn his slayer; and, in
the eyes of every Catholic, life ought to be of
less value than the eternal salvation of his
soul, and the faith without which that 8.31V.1-
. tion is impossible to be obtained.
"'Some years ago 1 happened, on climbing
an ascent near Coubruss, to come upon a
party employed (in crowbar fashion) in de
molishing the house of a man named Patrick
Lacy. The house was built by that man; it
was ruthlessly levelled before his face, with
out of course a shilling compensation. Al
that man, or his next-door neighbor,had,
at that moment, with the weapon next to
hand (a pebble from the brook, or rather
from the road), slain the demolisher of
his dwelling, he would have, no doubt,
violated the laws. But I would venture
to ask Mr. M in what respect would
that man's act have differed from that of
Moses four thousand years ago Moses
smote one that he saw oppressing an Israel
ite. Does the Scripture condemn him? Does
not St. Paul praise Moses, and by implication
praise the very deed which caused him to fly
into Egypt? Can what is worthy of com
mendation by the Spirit of God, then, be
the very extrone of guilt in the present
day /
"'Pharaoh was a lawful monarch. lie
had made laws with all due formality and
deliberation; yet Moses laughs at the law,
smites the oppressor, and is praised—not by
St. Paul, but by the Spirit of God, who spoke
by the mouth of St. Paul.
"'I say, in conclusion, that no matter what
laws or lawyers may say, no matter what
old gouty judges, with great horsehair wigs,
may have said on breaches of the peace, and
all that sort of thing, - no honest juryman will
ever say "guilty," on his oath, unless he be
lieves the man on trial violated the law of
God, and incurred guilt in the sight of
Heaven, - by the act charged or proved
against him. If the jurymaa act on any
other principle, he will break his oath as a
juryman, and bear. false witness against his

prevent the conviction of thecrioters;' In plain
En&lish, , it advocates and juStilles murder and

I was shocked and pained,. as an Irishman

the civic authorities, and the ecclesiastical,
to proceed openly against this open outrager

"But the Government decided to wink at
the offence, and the Roman Catholic Bishop

was justified by requiring the priest to recant
from the altar, which he did (as I was in

that scarcely any one knew what he was

CONCLUSION 07 7BSTENDAT9S
President Brooks called the Convention to or
der at half-past two o'clock P. M. ,
Mr. I. Newton Peirce, of Philadelphia, read a
report on "The Two Systems of Education in
Tennsylvania."
Mr. J. C. Gilchrist, Superintendent of Wash
• ington county, opened the discussion on the ques
tion, "What improvement can bo made in the
supervision of schools 1" He urged that reports
hould be made to the superintendents monthly,
I y each teacher, concerning his school.
This report should contain—first, the order of
xerciecs; second, average attendance; third,
character of recitations; fourth, the interest ma
',fielded by •the pupils; fifth, examples of pen
manship; sixth, punctuality of the teacher;
, seventh, condition of the school-house; eighth,
the care of the house itself; ninth, heating, ven
tilation, damages, &c. There should be a legal
-direction 13 hold joint meetings of the directors
and superintendents. Visitations should not be
made to every individual school, but to every
district during the school period. Superintend
ents should visit, first, those teachers who arc
-commencing the , business; second, those teachers
who, from report, seem to need visitation; third.
.some other schools of special interest. The
course to be pursued at a visitation should ba to
reorganize disorderly schools; to lecture famil
iarly to the children; to consult with the teacher,
to hold a popular meeting for examinations. He
• -urged particularly the duty of the teacher to
preserve cleanliness In his school.
Mr. H. D. Persons, Superintendent of Craw
ford county, approved the proposed scheme in
the main; but thought that the duty of reor
ganizing schools should devolve upon the Super
intendent. He did not approve of the gentle
man's plan of having a large company of pa-.
rents and citizens to accompany a county super
intendent during his visits. That would defeat
the very object of the visit.
Professor IL B. Whitting, of Philadelphia,took
• the ground that the directors should make a suf
ficient appropriation to employ suitable persons
to take charge of the school-houses in each dis
trict, and perform such duties as pertain to jani
tors generally. Ho gave a htimorcus description
of his experience as a teacher in the western part
of the State. and his remarks were greeted with
„ applause. Ho did not 'deem it the duty of
teachers to "sweep Out:" [Laughter.)
Mr. Wyers, of Chester, agreed with Mr. Wialt
ting, and the two gentlemen indulged In some
passes of wit and humor, which were greeted
- with laughter.
Professor W. H. Parker of-Philadelphia, moved
that three committees be appointed—a committee
on resolutions, one on nominations of officers
for the next year, and one on the time and place
01 the next meeting. Agreed to.
The President appointed on the Committee on
Resolutions, Messrs. Wyers, of Chester; Cope,
of Cambria ; Lactate, of Allentown Miss
feCard, oT3Ctiiitu Miss D;onaid, cif Lill
caster.
The President appoint'-d Mescrs. Woodruff. of
Chester; Walthour, of Northumberland; Ito we.
01 Lancaster: Schroeder, of Northampton, and
Geist, of Lancaster, as the Committee on Nomi
ustions
- -
Messrs. Persons, of Crawford: Young, of Le-
OrveiestigM - 6 - traetier, of iititztcrwa,
and Parker, of Philadelphia, as the Committee
on Time and Next place 'of mee:iag.
Professor B. S. Haldeman then delivered an ad
eines on "Etymology as a means of Education,"
followed by Miss Anna Lyle, of Columbia, in an
essay, after which the Convention adjourned
until half-past seven o'clock P. "
ItiSNiNo SES,,ION.—The house was crowded
this evening to suffocation.
Professor J. H. Shoemaker, of the Chambers
burg Academy, read a report on "Boarding
Schools; their sphere and duties." and he took
the ground generally that private boarding
schools were necessary, because over one-third
of the children of the State were not regular at
tendants upon public schools.
Jn some schools the morals of the pupils were
not properly attended to. Besides, the religious
interests of the %oaths of the State were not ride
mately protected by the public schools ; the
Bible was not read in many of them ; denomi
national education demanded private boarding
schools ; Christian men presi d ed over such Insti
tutions. whereas, in the common schools relig
ion was sadly neglected. Even the text-books
mere so carefully worded that children could not
profit by them in a Christian point of view.
The four hundred and forty-five thousand
members of Christian churches in the United
States demanded such schools where their chil
dren should be instructed in religious duties.
Christian boarding schools carried out the home
system of training.. He wished that the normal
schools were more decidedly Christian in their
tendencies.
Boarding schools occupied a middle position
between common schools and colleges. He op
posed the idea of cheap schools: they were a de
ception, and abused the confidence of the public.
The report took over two hours in its delivery.
Before adjourning l'rof. Wickersham, State
Superintendent of Public Schools, took occasion
to deny Prof. Shoemaker's assertion that the Bi
ble was not read in many of the common schools.
The Bible was regularly read in 9,835 schools out
of 11.432 in the State. The Public Schools were
not Irreligious. !Applause. I Prof. Wilitting
ton. of Philadelphia, also opposed Prof. Shoe
maker's report.
UITY BULLETIN.
THE LATE JOHN F. M, DEvn-T.-At the regular
meeting of the Press Club of Philadelphia. held
yesterday afternoon, B. N. Winslow, Esq., Chair
man of the Committee appointed to prepare' a
testimonial of respect to the memory of the late
John F. McDevitt, presented the following:
The memory of the just is blessed. That grate
ful thought remains with us as we sadly reflect
that in the death of our late colleague. John F.
McDevitt, his family have lost an affectionate son
and brother: our profession. an invaluable and
well-beloved member: and society one of its
brightest ornaments. A simple narrative of the
life and character and works of such as he con
stitutes the highest eulogy that can be paid their
memories.
John F. McDevkl, was born in this city in the
Zear 1840. He entered the Locust Street Grammar
chool at an early age, and pursued his studies
with such marked fidelity and zeal as to earn the
frequent commendations of his teachers. In July,
1554, he was admitted to the Central High School,
and entered upon the full course of four years'
study. He speedily became popular alike with
pupils and professors, and always held a high
position in his class. Ho was especially successful
in declamation, but he had already Imbibed a taste
for the newspaper profession, and devoted him
self particularly to acquiring a knowledge of the
phonographic art, in tee practice of which he be
came very expert in the course of a few months. In
the year 181;8, he graduated from the institution
with distinguished honors and the esteem of all
with whom he had been associated. In the fol
lowing year he became connected with the Com
mercial List, as a reporter and amanuensis for
Mr. Stephen N. Winslow, Sr. He was also a
-contributorl'6r a length of time to the local col
umns of the Inquirer, his reports being invaria
bly marked by good sense and accuracy. SIV3-
sequently he became attached to the staff of the
Press as a reporter, and discharged his duties in
this capacity with such commendable ability and
industry that he was soon elevated to the more
responsible position of financial editor. Af
terwards he devoted his attention solely
to the financial department, which,
under his judicious supervision, attained
a high reputation for reliability. While dis
charging this important trust, he never for a
day neglected the phonographic art, but was
constantly employed in reporting the proceed
ings of conventions and trials at law, as well as
sermons and lectures for the Press. As a pho
nographer his ability was admitted to be of
the highest order, and many of his law reports
will be of incalculable service to the legal pro
fession in all future years. At the same time
he contributed frequently to the columns of
the Catholic Standard and the Universe, and,
during the late Easter festival at the Cathedral,
he edited a little daily journal, entitled "The Ca
thedral Tablet; or Pleasant Memories." It is a.
signal proof of the unflagging energy of the sub
ject of our memoir, that while busied with these
multifarious cares and duties, and others arising
from his position as secretary of the High School
Alumni Association, secretary of the Philopa
trian Institute, and membership with various
literary societies, he nevertheless found time to
commence the study of the law, for which he had
acquired a taste, and in which he had
gained considerable insight in his reportorial
practice. About six months ago he
was admitted to the bar, and contemplated fully
sdrg this profession, when death closed his
by t - and promising career of noble psefainese.
Be e plred at Ills'realdenes`in - this 'city', at eleven
o'clock on the morning of July 14th -last, after,
two weeks of intenpe• agony. resulting from in
flammation of the bowels. The'stroke of death
came suddenly; yet it.fonnd him well prepared,
for he had led a truly exemplary and Christian
life, and, supported by the consolations of reli
gion, he went down to the tomb Piled with a
higher and more glorious promise than had over
shone out in his earthly career and made it noble.
The stars look down, the sun shines bright,
The waves break on the sounding shore,
Though earth has lost a living light,
A form that we shall see no more.
Who now can fill the vacant place.
Of him who lies in death's cold sleep;
Or, calling hack that silent face,
Who can forbear to weep?
How will they mourn for him that's gone!
How will they miss that genial facet
Now, with that helping band withdrawn,
Who will supply his place?
Ills memory lives unstained by guilt;
His noble purpose and his plan;
What be conceived and what be hat
Best dignify tbe man.
SINOITLAR CASE OF FALSE PRETLNCES.—YeStor:
day afternoon, George Benners and Lewis Hobs
worth were before Alderman Beltler; charged
with obtaining money by false pretences. It
seems that the defendants had five petitions,rep-
,
resenting that they had been appointed a coin
mitteee to collect funds for the purpose of pro
curing flags for political' eampaign clubs in the
Eighth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Twentieth
, Wards. They were not particular as to party, as
in two of .the wards it was' for the purpose of
aiding the Republican National ticket, and in the
other two the Democratic nominees..
Collector Cake bad been waited npon, and he
subscribed twenty dollars for a Grant and Colfax
flag In the Twentieth Ward. He stated that
Benners called upon him; and to him he paid the
money, but he could not Identify Holsworttt as
being the man who was with him.
' Edward Shippen, Esq., testified that twe• men
called upon him with a petition; he at first told
them to leave, thinking that , they were beggars,
but one of_them smoke np.that they were collect
ing funds for a 'Grant end Colfax flag 'for the
Eighth Ward; he then directed his clerk, Mr. T.
J. Hunt, to give . them five dollars and appended
his name to the petition.
Alexander L. Hodgdon and Alexander J. Har
per testified that though their names were at
tached to the paper for five dollars, yet they were
forgeries, as they had given no money for such a
purpose, and had never seen the defendants.
Mr. Samuel Bell testified that during the ab
sence of Mr. Martin lie
.was acting as president
of the Eighth Ward Republican Association; that
. one had been nrithoritell to collect money_ for
the purchase of flags, and that no such persons
as Charles Thompson, Peter Farrell or Edward
Elison were connected with the association or
club.
Mr. T. J. Shinn testified that at the instance of
Detective Officer George H. Smith. ho had the
-- defendants arrested while -at B. M. Jones's store. -
No. 8 South Front street.
Matthias livers testified Chat be Was the Ertal
dent of the Twentieth Ward Republican Execu
tive Committee, and that no one had been au
thorized to collect any money for a flag.
Detective Officer Georg 3 H. Smith testified
that Mr. Charles Porter called upon him and said
that two men were collecting money for the Pur
pose of purchasing a flag for the Eighth Ward,
red that no one had been authorized to do so.
He then obtained a clue to them, and instructed
the clerk at Mr. Jones's store to give them a
dollar, and have them arrested.
All of these petitions represented that Charles
Thompson, Peter Farrell and Edward Ellison had
bten appointed a committee to collect money for
the purposes above stated. Many of the mimes
to the papers as subscribers are forgeries, but we
publish all of them, that the public may be saved
from future impositions.
The paper for the Fourteenth Ward was for a
Grant and Colfax Club. and the names of L.
Shuster Boralf and David Cramer each appear
for $2O.
The following are attached to the petition for a
Seymour and Blair flag for the Sixteenth Ward :
George Benners, $lO ; Joseph Hopkins. $11) ;
Daniel Wittman. 10;$ cash, $5; James B. Apple,
$5 : Cash. 3: Tee Age, $5.
For the Twentieth Ward there were two peti
tions ; one for a Grant and Colfax flag, and the
other for a Seymour and fthir Hag. To the
former were appended the following names and
amounts : George Benners, $2O : Edw. Hughes,
$2O: James Mitchell, $2O ; E. W. Davis. $2O :
J. W. take, $2O ; Chas. W. Wagner, $lO ; R.
Peitz, $5; Jas. F. Mann. 5, and cash $5. To the
latter: Jesse B. Appel, $lO ; E. W. C. Greene,
$l O , and Jas. F. Watson, $5.
The following were the names and amounts
attached to a petition for a Grant and Colfax flag
for the Eighth ward: Geo. Benners, $5; A. H.
Mershon. $5; A. L. Hodgdon. $5; A. J. Harper.
$5; cash, $lO, and. Edward Shippen, $5.
A hook was also found upon one of the de
fendants, setting forth that he had lost an eye
upon election day during a political disturbance.
It is said that to the Democrats he represented
that Republicans had been the cause of his losing
an eye, and to Republicans he stated that some
Democrats bad put it out.
When asked by the Alderman what they had to
say in explanation of their conduct, Benners
promptly replied that it was his Intention to pre
sent a flag to each of the above associations.
The defendants were each held in $2,500 bail
to answer at the present term of the mina.
