words of sympathy and ermourvement. I
am . .afteeted than, surprised, . for it
rarely happens that the young feel
they have need of the old. Then in
what way can Ibe useful? Exiled at 40 from
public life, condemned by strange and cruel
sufferings to a premature oldness, 'buried be
fore being dead, I ought appear to you sepa
rated from all things here below. Isreverthe
lese,l still retain my interest in conflicts anala
gous to those which formerly inflamed me.
This interest redoubles when I see new gen
erations descend into the arena, there to en
counter the same obstacles, errors and trials
as their predecessors.
I always tremble to see them yield to dis-
Couragement or indiflbrence, as the genera
tion which arose in France after the revolu
tion of 1848 and the coup d'etat of 1851. Even
when I am not called upon I feel myself ins
duced to say to young men: "Courage and
confidence] Work energetically for the
good cause, for truth, .justice and liberty, and
be certain that you will never repent." It is
not good taste to cite oneself as example, but
greater service can scarcely be rendered to
the young than to enable them to profit
by the experience of others. Allow me, there
fore, to declare to you, .I—wholliave agitated,
spoken and written so much, and often without
any immediate success—only regret that I .
have not written, spoken,
.agftated more,
while it was still possible for me to do so. At
the eloae . of every career, long or short, bril
liant.or obscure, there remains nothing ,more
bright and .consoling here below than' the
recollection of the labors and sacrifices devoted
to the eternal conflict of good against evil, of
truth against falsehood.
It is necessary to labor and to sow without
counting upon the harvest. but with the cer
tainty that this harvest, although made by
others, will be favorable to the triumph of
right. It is difficult to achieve this principle,
but still it is achieved, and since the coming
of. our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ it has
slowly but incontestably advanced. History,
according with reason, proves this every day
to those who studylt sincerely. Ibe present
is better than the past, and the fnture will be
better than the present,
It is you, good and dear young men, who
will be the men of the future, and on each of
you in your own sphere will rest the responsi
bility of it. You Should 'not devote this duty
to blind regrets or puerile utopias. I have
been as a, historian and polemist the laborious
apologist of the Catholic system. •But I revolt
with indignation against those who draw
therefrom, like the greater part of the present
reliOus organs, furious diatribes and ridicule
against the modern spirit; or programmes of
theoretical or autocratical instruction which
that spirit, thank God, will never accept.
Referring to contentions in Switzerland he
says " You who live in a country which the
friends of liberty lovJ to cite at the same time
as the United States of America, know better
than I bow far your noble country is still from
resembling our model beyond the sea. When
they , read the discussions in your assemblies,
and see the acts which emanate from them,
they fr:e stupified at the great part which
contiscv.tiun, prohibition and proscription
still play. in them, as witness what has
recently occurred 'iii Thurgovie and
the Berne Jura! Nothing could
less resemble the manner and customs of the
sons of Washington and Franklin. These
unhappy disturbances, foolish exclusions, and
shameful anachronisms will, however, :Show
you sufficiently what are the progressive
measures, the urgent reforms, and the arduous
conflicts of which you should be the in
domitable champions, in order that_in the
country of Tell and Winkelried tht true,
liberty may reign, which sooner or later will
become the inalienable patrimony of her sin
cere defenders."
He refers to the reforms peaceably acquired
in France, and says.:
"During the second Enepire I have been
cited three times before the Correctional
Police, for writing what today might be said
freely try any one, under the same regime, hap
pily modified. It is thus that the scandal of
the eve becomes the truth of the morrow."
Hezeklah IL. Bateman Smites Hirano
Cranston 'on the Cheek at the Man
button Club—Donning the War Paint
and Feathers—The Tomahawk Ez.
binned and the Calumet Buried.
The Herald this morning says:
A - el
t
war whoop' swept out from the
glitterf portals of the lodge of the Manhat
tans ab to an hour after the setting of the, sun
last night, and at once the savages of the order
commenced to buckle on their war gear for a
contest that will in all irrobability terminate
with the extinction of the Manhattan Club as
a separate and individual confederacy.
It was virtually an encroachment on the
sacred " game" reserves that in this as in
many other savage - wars . led -- to the Sighting
of the council fires, the unslinging of clubs,
the replenishment of quivers and the bend
ing of the bows. It appears that one
of the brethren, Hezekiah L. Bateman by
name. and by profession well known as one
famed in deeds of theatrical prestige, on Wed
nesday. evening. invited those pale-faces who
were his friends to sup with him within the
sacred confines of the lodge. Now these
friends were not of the fraternity of Manhat
tans, and - were therefore, iu the eyes of the
brotherhood, so to speak, part and parcel of
the great unwashed. The rules of the great
council, known as the House Committee, pro
vide that no outsider shall partake of the hos
pitality of the cuisinieri in the public dining
room, and Hezekiah had infringed this very
rule by inviting the friends above alluded to
to a scat in the banqueting chamber and or
dering for their entertainment some of the
rarest and most delicate of tne spoils of the
chase, rioif, up - brown, or, more properly
speaking, In the highest style of cookery,
whether that style necessitated their being
"done brown" or-rare.
Hiram Cranston, once the proprietor of the
famed lodge known as the New York Hotel,
is one of the presiding chiefs of the great
council, and, deeming the intrusion of the
outsiders a flagrant violation of the rules gov
erning the presence of guests, sent a flunkey
to direct imperatively that Hezekiah with-
draw, or at least withdraw his friends.
Among the latter were Dir. Samuel Ward and
janies Comaolly,..nephew of the Comptroller.
'Sate - Man
Bate - Man - declined tPietire 'to
friends to leave, and the result was that fir.•
Cranston sent a message which, under any
circumstances, would be deemed deficient in
courtesy. In fact, the whole proceeding, on
the part of the latter gentleman, was deemed
discourteous, as the ordinary custom would
have been to permit the strangers or guests to
have enjoyed the entertainment, and to have
called the member to account before the
HouSe Committee for breach of rules. ,
The matter created much comment, as a
• large number of the members were present at
the time, and those who were not present
were, of course, duly informed of the affair by
the quid 'tunes. Of course, the matter was not
bettered by being made a subject of gossip,
and several notes passed between Messrs.
Bateman and Cranston, each one of which,
it was surmised, was a challenge to a trial of
lead and collee. Ultimately Cranston, de
clined any further correspondence, and the
dispute was left in a decidedly ugly aspect.
Things brightened up, however, about seven
o'clock last evening, as Mr. Bateman, burning
under the knOwledge that when he had sought
an explanation he was insulted, walkelcheer
fully into the club room, and seeing Cranston
there, deliberately slapped hits in the face.
COUNT BIONTALERIBEOT.
A Remarkable Letter.
A NkW YORK ROW.
There was a grand sceue.of confusion for the;
time, and everybody kept his individual eye
on Cranston, expecting that Ifeimkialt, by his
temerity, bad precipitated a " Hastinge upon
himself:
The kink roll was. sounded and thealatin
was brayed out for the assembling of the
forces, and Cranston shouted lustily for the
police. Finally, two of the servants were de
spatohed in search of some of the blue coats
and clubs, and one went frantically along
Fourteenth street,While the other spanked at
a tremendous pace up the avenue. But there
was no policeman to be found, and when
the tired messengers returned Bateman bad
taken his departure, and there Was no one left
to be arrested.
Pistols, and probably to little coffee, with. a
few rods of clear ground. just over one of the
Weehawken' hills, are in active demand and
are deemed inevitable.
ANOTHER MINE DIRIASTER.
Almost Another Mine Horror at Ply..
mouth—Burning of the Breaker at the
Nottingham Mine—Fifty-Wm Men Be
low Kept In Ignorant* ofThelr Danger
--Thelma Eatinttnle►hed-“lndignation
Meeting of the Miners.
PLYMOUTH, Dec. 31,1$69.—There was nearly
a repetition of the Avondale horror at this
place yesterday. At about half-past ton A. M.
the breaker of the Nottingham mine, situated
at the southern end of the town, was dis
covered to be on fire. There were fifty-five
men in the mine at the time, which is one of
the man-traps, like the Avotuiale—one with
but one outlet-Lyet, notwithstanding this, no
notice was given to the men below that the
building above was onN fire. Fortunately, it
was discovered • soon after' it broke out, and
with great exertion was not only prevented
from spreading, but was extinguished, the
men below remaining all the while in igno
rance of their dattgor
The lire was the ten* of gross carelessness
on the part of the ripany working it. It
appears that two stoves were kept in the
breaker to give 'heat to the boys employed
there to pick out the Mate from the coal as it
goes in the breaker, and the pipes from these
stoves were run directly through the wood
work ofthe building, without any protection.
The result was what any sane man might
have expected. The woodwork heated until
it became of the consistency of tinder and
then ignited.
At noon some of the men came up to din
ner, and, althougb every exertion was made
to keep the fire from their knowledge, the fact
leaked out and they became aware fur the
first time of the,terrible fate they Had escaped.
When they went down again they informed
the rest of the men in the mine, and they at
once got together and held, an indignation
meeting and resolved at once to go up out of
the mine. When they got up they assembled
the rest of the men belonging to the mine—in
all about seventy-five—and held another meet
ing, resolving that they would not again go
down into the mine until there was built two
brick chimneys for the stove pipes, a watch
man placed'in the building night and day, and
a bell at the bottom of the shaft so that they
should have a signal when there was danger
at the surface. Since that time the mine has
not been worked, and the men still remain
firm. ,
The proprietore, Messrs. Thomas 'Brodrick
& Co., tint being able to get any men to supply
the places of their old hands, have yieldeu to
their-demands so far as the two - chimneys are,
concerned, and their construction has corn
me need; but they think one watchman in the
night is sufficient, and decline. to place one
there in the day time. Thu men say that this
only shows a willingness to protect their own
property; and as their lives aro exposed in the
day time they say they shall insist on the two
watchmen and also on the alarm bell.
THE COMING JOHN.
Chinese immigrants at Omaha.
I From the Omaha Herald, Dec. ttith.] i
The great question of cheap labor s about
to be solved, and the cotton field. of the South
to be supplied. Yesterday the advance guard
uf the thousands who are to come from the
over-populated countries of Eastern Asia ar
rived, on the emigrant train, eight days • from
San Francisco. The train consisted of twelve
emigrant cars, with the necessary box oars
containing the commissary stores for the trip.
Among the passengers were two hundred and
seventy-five " johnules," mostly young men,
looking healthy, and seemingly in good spirits,
all flourishing the inevitable "pig-tail.' One
of them, who could talk a little English, said
they were going to "Taxy."
Along the road many of them were enjoy
ing themselves by gambling with dominoes,
the stakes being the small " cash" coin, with
the requisite square hole in the centre.'
At Fremont they stopped an hour,
and
cooked their .dinners by the side of the train,
which consisted of rice with small pieces of
pork and fish. Mats form a great part of
their bedding, which, with their general ap
pe,arance' were as cleanly as any like number
of white laborers, while their conduct was
much better.
An amusing•incident occurred at Schuyler,
where a, section man, under the influence •of
his Christmas spree, snatched off the hat of
ono of his Celestial railroad friends, and ran
away with it, pursued by two of the Johnnies;
who soon settled the matter, recovering the
hat, and leaving the Hibernian hors du combat
in the snow, and from the vigor displayed by
the Chinamen he suffered an unpleasant sen
sation iu the rear.
We trust that the parties who have con
tracted with these men will, by kind treat
ment, and fulfilling theirpart in good faith,
prove the advantages which are claimed for
this new class of labor for the South.
AN ARTFUL DECEIVER.
A Young Man from Philadelphia Re.
neves a Wealthy Family in Pittsburgh
of Valuable Jewels—Part of the Stolen
Property Recovered.
The Pittsburgh Commercial says :
About four weeks ago, a young man giving
his name as H. W. Klett, came to this city
from Philadelphia, and soon after his arrival
made the acquaintance of a wealthy family in
Allegheny City. His relations with the
family, aid especially with one of the daugh
ters, were of the most intimate nature. Va
rious articles of jewelry were loaned him,
among which an elegant gold watch and chain.
belonging to the young lady, and worth about
three hundred dollars. Other members of the
family also loaned.him jewelry, until he had
in his possession over four hundred dollars.
He suddenly decamped with these treasures,
and although search was immediately insti
tuted he could not be found. Chief Of Police
Hague was intrusted with the case, learning
that Klett had turned up in Philadelphia,
started7ottleer-•Strain-. to -that.-place.-to-arrestr
him. The bead of the family in which the
depredations of Klett were committed ac
companied the officer to Philadelphia,
where they found Klett in the clutches of
the law, having been apprehended on
a variety of charges. The officer endeavored
to get possession of the accused, but the
authorities refused to' turn him over until
they were through with him. The watch and
chain. and several.- articles of stolen jewelry
were found in the., possession of the prisoner
and secured. Referring to the balance of the
jewelry, Klett stated that he bad sold it to 'F.
Kremerjewel er, Penn street, this city: The
officer called on Mr. Kremer and ascertained
that, the jewelry had beau purchased and
melted. The prisoner will likely be brought
here as soon as the Philadelphia authorities
get through with him. •
