Thursday.. April' 1870*
■' i iHJi «»W ,I i r 5 1 ,
In the history of Richmond, Virginia, there
have been a.good many terrible events.. But
.•hone have been more calculated to excite popu
lar emotion arid sympathy than the appalling
one of yesterday morning. In the number and
the social rank of the victims, vye find this ca
lamity resembling the frightful one of 1811,when
the Richmond theatre was burned, and seventy,
persons, prominent in soeiety there,- perished
•in the flames. That terrible event caused a
-shock all over the country, and the story of it
ihas been told and written by eye-witnesses
thousands of times, to the people of a later
generation. Among the victims then were
young and beautiful women, whose fate gave
a deeper horror to the narratives of tlio awful
Catastrophe. ,
But the fall'Of the floor of tlrtrState-Gapitol,
hy -which, in an instant, several hundred .-.per
sons were billed or severely injured, seems to
he a-disaster the horror of which can scarcely
'"ho lens' «inr» of--tha>bnming of flie theatre.
The men who went down in that frightful
min were nearly all men of prominent posi
tk>n in the State or the city government. Most
■of-them, -doubtless, had families, and the wide
spread -distress created by their fate may be
faintly imagined. It was not to be wondered
at that, as the news of the disaster went over
the city, all business was suspended, stores
were closed and the - whole-population, as by a
simultaneous impulse, became mourners as
oyer a common calamity. In this grief the
people or Kicbmond and of Virginia-will have
the sympathy of the people Of the whole
country.
The Virginia State Capitol, as every visitor
to Richmond since the war will remember, had
every appearance of being a well-built, sub
stantial edifice. It has frequently been as
crowded as it was y esterday, and no doubt was
over entertained Of te stability. It is probable
that the main floor of the Court Room could
have borne the fe w hundred people that were
_ n pon it, and more.top, but for the' giving way
of the-crowded-galleryand the shock of this
additional weight suddenly- plunging in upon
it. But a public edifice, which is liable to be
crowded at times, ought to have no weak
and it; by any accident, a gallery should
give way, the floor beneath it might
still he secure. The -faults of the
damaged structure cannot *be assigned,
to the hurried mode of building in recent
times; for the Richmond Capitol is an old
building. But it is probable there were jobbers
•among contractors even in the days when it
was built. The timbers of the gallery and floor
were .probably bad at hrst, and have been rot
ting ever since. The lesson taught by this
calamityisanobv iousone,aiidlt ought to be
profited by everywhere. All buildings with
wooden floors, which are likely to be crowded
at times, ought to have the joists, floors, gal
leries and wooden pillars and posts subjected to
a careful examination, and when signs of de
cay appear, new timber should b.e substituted.
But iq the erection -of new public buildings,
stone, brick and iron should alone be used.,
the hedicae students again.
In the early part of next month the contribu
_ tors to the Pennsylvania Hospital will be called
upon to-elect new managers to that institution,
and to decide whether w.omeri students shall
he admitted to the clinics. In anticipation of
the action of the contributors certain of the
enemies of free science have prepared and are
circulating a pamphlet which is designed to in
duce the voters to exclude the women, and to
make such changes in the management/ of the
Hospital as shall forever after deprive female
' students of the privilege of attending the clinics.
If the authors of this pamphlet used respectful
and decent argument to enforce their views
they would deserve only commiseration.
■Bigoted men,who plant themselves squarely in
the-pathcfprogressand-pleadpitcously-against
overwhelming public opinion,, expressed
' clearly in behalf of a sex that is striving
earnestly to accomplish a high destiny for itself
and for the' race, present a spectacle that is
nothing more than melancholy. But the
author of this pamphlet goes farther,and with
malignant falsehood and indecency assaults the
reputation of the Quaker managers of the
Hospital and of the religious sect to which
they belongs,and strive to blacken the fair fame
of tlic pure women who suffered outrageous in
sult from the male students at the Hospital.
Men who. could he guilty of this offence not
only are unworthy to exercise any functions
in any charitable institution, and unfit to be
instructors of youth, but they deserve the scorn
and contempt of every' honest gentleman. It
is not necessary that we should attempt to con
trovert at length the untruthful statements
made by these persons. Their allegations that
a love of gain induced, the ■ managers to sol'
tickets to the women students; that they have
’ not a sense of propriety keen enough
to perceive the indelicacy of mixed
clinics; and that the insulted women
were not ladies, are contradicted already by
those who know the facts. The fee required
from the.students is go small that' it could not
under any circumstances tempt the most avari
cious of the managers, who are well known to
he -estimable gentlemen, with whose views of
the (propriety of admitting female students to
the Hospital, every sensible man in the com
» inunity agrees. The proposition to remove
from -Quaker influence an institution that was
founded by that sect, and which has been con
ducted in a most successful and satisfactory
manner through its whole existence by Friends,
■ ' ■ ' is ridiculous, ami will he received by this coin-’
■annity with contempt. In regard to the
claims of the female btudents to the title of
ladies,we may say that men who would defend
•he conduct of the male students, as these pain
yhleteere do, prove by that defence that they
iire.rncompetent to determine what qualities
to entitle men and women to be
cabled gentlemen and ladies. A man must
have at least a reasonable amount of gentle-' 1
iwuify instinct himself,before he can determine
the existence. or absence of that quality in
other people.
.. This -pam] h'e* prove.a a fact , that has been
suspected : that the infamous assault upon the
women students was Inspired and supported by
certain medical professors.who are bitterly op
posed to 1 the admission of women to the piuc
tice of medicine. These persons have been
working quietly but earnest'y against- the .wo
men ever since the first manifestation; and thjp
pamphlet is the second blow Btruck for their
cause. They have entered upon a contest that
is as hopeless as the opposition displayed in old
times against railroads by stage-coach proprie
tors. It is the ancient ground of laggard con
servatism against liberty and progress.
TJIE CROWN OP SPAIN.
A new candidate for the throne of Spain is
announced . The cable despatches speak of him
as Prince Frederick of Prussia, hut as there
are several Prussian princes named Frederick,
it Is impossible to say who is meant. The
King’s brother, Frederick Charles Alexander,
is sixty-nine years old, and he is not likely to
he the man. He has a son, Prince Frederick
Charles Alexander Nicholas, who is forty-two
years of age,and who acquired great distinction,
at the battle of Sadowa. There ape several other
Prince Fredericks, including the crown prince
/andhis oldest son, neither of whom is likely to
■be a candidate for Spanish honors, and Prince
Frederick Charles seems likely to be the one
alluded to in the despatches.
: Naturally the Emperor Napoleon, who has a
grudge against Prussia, or a dread of her, ob
jects to having a Prussian made King of Spain.
He has Prussia threatening France on the
Kbine frontier, and fie does not want to have
her also beyond the Pyrenees. Doubtless he
suspects that Bismarck, whoso cunningly con
trived to have a Prussian Prince, Charles, of
Hohenzollem-Sigmaringen, placed on the va
cant throne of Boumania in ISOO, is anxious
to put another Prussian on the vacant throne
of Spainiih. 1870. The scheme is worthy of
that shrewd statesman, who has done so much,
within a few years, to. extend and increase the
power and "influence" of Prussia .throughout
Europe. It certainly would be at least em
barrassing to France to have a Prussian King
of Spain.
But eyen without the opposition of Napo--
leon, it docs not seem at all likely that either
the Cories or the people of. Spain would* con
sent to have a German prince, and one of a
Protestant family, for their reigning monarch.
Although freedom in religion is allowed since
the revelution, still the people are nearly, all
Catholics, and many of them very bigoted
ones. The idea of a German Protestant as
-their sovereign-woukLhejnostJinpalateable_ to
them. We incline to think the Government of
Spain will have to look., elsewhere for the
monarch they so longingly desire.. But there
is evident impatience at the delay in finding a
suitable man, and: the Republicans of Spain
are taking fresh courage. Even Serrano and
Prim ate said to be talking about a Republic.
The experiment would be risky, but it could
not make things worse than they are under
the long-protracted anomalous state of things
under the Provisional Government.
BROAD STBEfct.
A portion of Broad-street,, mnning. north.
from Market street, is being: repaved with the
old cobble-stone nuisance. This is certainly a
great waste of money, and a perpetuation of
one of the most serious annoyances to which
the public are subjected. Why cannot the
question of paving Broad street with a substan
tial wooden pavement be settled by Councils at
once ? The thousands who drive and ride over
that fine avenue are entitled to an early relief
from the cobble-stone abomination, alike so
destructive to nerves, comfort, vehicles and
horses. Councils meet again to-day. Will not
out “Friends in Council” hurry up the slow
moving machinery by which the public benefit
of a good pavftnent on Broad street is to be
secured ?

The most important evidence submitted was
that of the regular customers of Oak fflS 1, who
testified that they habitually bougjjttho very

that it invariably gave satisfaction. . <
The Court decides that the thing is possible,
and that it is done daily at the Public Build

A Compliment to George Wilkes.
; New Yokk, , April. 28.—George Wilkes, the
proprietor of the Spirit of the Times, hasre
ceived, from the Emperor of Russia the grand
cross of the Order of St. Stanislas, as a recog
nition for the suggestlon made to the Russian
Government in reference to an overland rail
way to Chiba and India by tbe way of Russia.
•This markof royal favor entitles the holder to
have bis inale children at the Military School
Of Russia, at the expense of the State.
~ Tbe Ulns-I'lsht Stopped.
The Kerrigan-Tuehey fight, notwithstand
ing the very strict arrangements and solemn
. _ pledges of secrecy, proved* a failure. Kerri
fan and bis parly of friends reached Sandy

who managed toeacape in a sloop were, ar
rested in the Bay by a police boat at 8 o’clock
this morning. The ponce then descended on
the Hook, and Kerrigan’s party took to the
cedars,and me now up the stump, with Cap

“ Charles Spencer, Esq., one of the counsel in
tbe McFarland case, appears in a communica
tion in the Sun, this morning, stating that his
—learned associates were displeased with the
letter written to Theodore Tilton, and be
lieving the entire accord of counsel necessary,
he retires from'”tho defence. Regarding his
attack on M rs. Calhoun in his opening speech;
in the case, ho_says he became satisfied that,
* from cortitminicailons to papera in different
parts of the country and otherwise, wide
»spread, the impression prevailed- that he had
attacked the persona) chastity of Mrs; Calhoun.
As'otttside of this case ho had. never heard or
known anything to her prejudice,and as what- _
ever language he employed in the excitement
oi bis opening speech had only boeu .to
convey to the jury that she had been by let
ters and conversation. mainly instrumental In
producing tbe results upon which the defence
ln some material parts was based, he felt un
willing that such an impression should go un
corrected. To his former personal friend for
many‘years he wrote the letter in question.
and regrets the necessity of his retirement
from the case, but does not regret its occa
sion. It has been his sincere wish to correct
—an -erroneous -impression-prejudicial-to -the
lady. - ______

Ike Insurrection in Cnba—-A Counter
Bevelutlon Imminent.
Important official information has been re
ceived here from Cnba., For some time it has
been known to the authorities that the volun
teers in Cnba were in reality the party in
power,and. have forced the Spanish authori
ties to comply with nearly all their he-"
mauds. Intelligence how comes from
Havana that a counter revolution
is sure to break out within a brief period of
time, the volunteers heing'determinedto wrest
the island away from Spain, and make it an
independent province. It has been thought
hero, in diplomatic circles, for three months,
that a counter-revolution was sure" to take
place, and the news received to-day is but a:
confirmation of such a belief. .
Tlie Fenian Bald on Canada.
Advices received here from United States
Marshal's along the Canadian frontier indicate
that the Fenians are becoming alarmed at the
prospect of an interference By the military,
and seem disposed to abandon their proposed
raid into Canada. The F, ian leaders resort
to ail manner of schemes to mislead the United
States authorities, using decoy letters, with
false information, to distract their attention
from the real movements, made and in pro
gress.
'f The Fenians have large quantities of arms
stored along the border, near Buffalo and
Ufagara, hut these are closely watched, ami
any attempts to violate the laws by an im
proper use of them will end in the speedy
arrest oftho guilty parties engaged.
The Government is informed by the Cana
dian authorities that the excitement alon» the
border is abating, and that the people have
all confidence in the, military being able to
take care of all the Fenians who set foot on
Canadian soil. It is estimated at the State
Department that the cost of enforcing the neu
trality laws during .the past year was about
fifteen thousand dollars,the most of which was
used in . preventing the fitting out of Cuban
filibustering expeditions; .._ -

From the Coal Regions.
M Aucn Chdink, April 28.—Humors to tlie
effect that a strike was impending have been
current here for the last few days, though at
the time they were not considered of sufficient
reliability to warrant publication. It is now
ascertained that acoramittee of the W. B. Asso
ciation oftlie Carbon district, No. l,has notified
the different operators that unless the demand
made Vy them for, work done during the
month of April is complied with, work would
be stopped until such demand was acceded
to. The cause of difference trumped up by
the men is that the operators were receiving
a higher price for coal than they were advising. 1
ihe men of. Thedemimd made by them w<**> !
at a rate so far-in excess of the price received
for coal dtp-lug the month that it is looked oil :
here as merely, furnishing them a pretext to .
assist,tpe Kchuylkill miners.
Hazleton-region‘lias also generally been no
tified to the same efl'ect, and unless the opera
tors accedej a strike is inevitable. r\
This is nothing mere than the result of tile
ppstponementqf the strike that was .to havfe
taken plaice on the 18th instant, hut which
failed because of the existence of no reason
worthy of such a course, causing them to de-
Jay doing so till the last of this month, tints'
giviDg them more means, and the pretext that :
th ey had returnsmade,ior April prices that
were untrue. . . ,
Offers have been made by the operators for
the W. B. Association to send on a committee
to New York, and to .furnish them every
means, in order to prove the truth of the
prices l received for April, and offering to give
them all over and above the figures given by
the operators as deceived. . ~v
: The, fall in coal at. the last .Scranton sale,
will have a depressing efl'ect on the men, os it

into this prosecution? 1
Mr. Greeley replied substantially in the affir
mative. , ■■
Counsel for the defence then went on to
cross-examine, but was -finally* stopped by
counsel for the prosecution,'who objected.
... The IteeordeLconcnrred in the objection.
Mr. Graham persisted, and Judge Hackett
overruled him. :
-'"Mr. Graham continued firm in his efforts to
show up the Tribune office. Me offered to .
show that in the Recorder’s charge to the

House marriage, then bringing it into the
case. He also referred to J. G. Reed’s letter
to the Sun.

helped Mrs. McFarland;, I mentioned-the
fact to Sinclair and Reed, not to Mrs.
Calhoun ; on the occasiou the first inter
view the prisoner had not received the inter-'
cepted letter ; -on that occasion 1 f did not
give McFarland a letter of recom
mendation for an appointment as
