THE LATE DR. JOHANNES ECHHARD.
' The late learned Dr.Eckhard,who was buried
to-day from his former home in Torresdale,
was one of the.finest spirits which the hazard
of revolution in Europe has conferred upon
our country. Dr. Eckbard's manly character
was indicated in the reply he made a short
_time_backAa-_-thaprincipal-f ha tinary-tre
which he was Professor, in Torresdale, and
which cost him his position. On a change in
the direction of the Seminary-that of the
Sacred Heart, Torresdale—the new lady prin
cipal, a very strict Roman Catholic, insisted
upon his adopting that faith as a condition of
retaining his appointment. " Madame,"
promptly replied Dr. Eckhard, "if I were
to give up,when nearly sixty years of age,these
convictions of Protestantism which I have
held all my life, I should be ashamed of my
own face when it met me in the glass." This
spirited profession led_to his withdrawalfrom
the institution of w h ic h , he had long beenti
a_
• •
impertant prop, and to his dying at last in a
condition of scholarly leisure. From the Ger
man-Democrat of last Saturday we borrow the
facts of his career and an eloquent eulogy on
his character :
Death has called away a worthy and noble
man from our -midet, a brave, courageous'
champion for the true and good: a dear friend
whose name is mentioned her and in the
Fatherland with love and respect. Dr. Jo
hannes Eckhard died on the 9th of June at
Torresdale, Twenty-third Ward, Philadelphia.
Although for some time he had been suffering
from asthma, • he enjoyed ordinarily goOd
health, and his sudden death is therefore all
the more surprising to his many friends.
Dr. Johannes Eckhard was born in 1812, in
the Bavarian Palatinate, and studied
philology and theology at Utrecht
and Erlangen. He became Director of the
_Progymnasium at Annweiler,- and afterwards
a Protestant clergyman at Goenheim, near
Diirkheitn. In theology his views were ra- .
tionalistic. As an instructor, his favorite vo
cation, and as preacher, he labored with the
most gratifying' results, and also sought, by
the establishment of reading-clubs and sing
ing-societies, to advance in harmonious devel
opment the intellect of the people. At the
outbreak of-the revolution, in 1849,he—was-a
-member of - the-Bavanan Congress, where he
belonged to the extreme Left, or progressive
party._ Dr. Eckhard - sided --with the- revolu
tionary cause, and accepted important am
pointments under the provisional government
of the Palatinate in revolutionary.matters.
After the suppression of the revolution he
was obliged to become a refugee with those
wbo shared his fate. He first sought an asy—
lum in Switzerland, and from thence he came
to the United States, where be in ble- -
vember; 1849. __He was here engaged invari
ous employments, and arrived in 1851 in Phila
delphia. Afterwards he traveled as private
tutor to Virginia and Georgia; studied rriedi
`Cine at the University at Savannah = - and , re
ceived a doctor's degree without subsequently
practicing his -protessiott.- - - He - returned -- to
Philadelphia and accepted the position of a
teacher of music and the German language at
the Seminary of the Sacred Heart, at Torres
dale. He remained in his position until re
cently, having won in it the love, esteem and
h - appreciation --
e died quietly and in full possession of his
mental faculties, expressing the wish to be
buried at Torresdale.
Dr. Eckhard was a man of genuine classic
and liberal education, a successful instructor,
a ripe scholar in mathematics and the natural
sciences, an accomplished and theoretic musi
cian, and a man of noble and generous im
pulses. He leaves behind him an only dau h
• ..,iiied - ta — Professor mranir, of the Poly
technic College. He was buried. this after
noon, at the burial ground of All Saints, Tor
resdale. All honor to the memory of this
noble Republican exile and worthy man.
William Gilmore Simms.
The well known and popular Soathern nov
elist, William Gilmore Simms, died at the re
sidence of his son-in-law,in the city of Charles
ton, S. C., on the evening, of Saturday last.
Mr. Simms was born in the city in \ which he
breathed his last, ofithe 17th off April, 1806.
At an early, age he was left an Orphan, and
the only fatenng care which wad thrown over
his early years was such protection as his
grandmother, an old lady whose means were
lather limited, could afford. Under such cir
cumstances it may naturally be inferred that
the early education of the future novelist was
poor, indeed. Yet we find that at the age of
eigbt years he indulged in poetry and wrote
verses. He was, even at this early age, a great
reader, and devoured eagerly all the books
within his reach. This stood him in after
tears, and served, in a measure, to supply the
deficiency of a regular education. To 'prac
tice medicine was his first aspiration ; but this,
it seethe. was abandoned, and the study of
law next became the object of his ambition.
He, however, practiced law but a short
time. He then entered journalism and
commenced by editing the Charleston City'
Gazette, a political news sheet of union or anti
nullification principles. The Gazette failed,anci
:Simms becoming disheartened or discoura ced „.,,
forsook journalism and devoted himself to lit
erature proper. In this pursuit he made.
vapid success. One of his first novels, if not
his first, ” Martin Faber," was a hit. The
book was well written, and deserved the suc
cess it won. For an unknown author this suc
cess was fame and fortune'. Encouraged with
the reception of this work, Mr. Silures set to
work with renewed vigor, and novel after
novel followed each other with astonishing,
rapidity.
As a biographer Mr. Simms has produced
four creditable works. "The Life of Bayard"
is one upon which he mares to have bestowed
most attention. As a poet he has written
more perhaps than any other Southern writer.
Among the best known of his poetical works
are those of " Atalantis," "The Vision of
the Cortes " and "The City ot the Silent."
He also took part in politics,, and served one
term in the . Legislature of South Carolina.
During the late war he wrote many stories,
the_best—known- of which was a humorous
novel entitled ".Paddy McGann; or the De
mon of tho Stump."

OBITUARY.
CHARLES DICKENS.
DISRAELI AND'THE TORIES.
Blacktrood'o Attack on "Lothair."
(From Blackwood 'a Magazine tor Juno.)
It is unnecessary to point out to those who
remember the singular theories . broached in
Mr. - Disraeli's former novels that the adven
tures of Lothair can scarcely be
,expected to
end with the present third volume. It will
easily be anticipated that a Sequel still more
_remarkable- hatfAhe‘eonamencement=of=that-,1
nobleman's history is in progress—in fact we
-may whisper that the same assistants have
(leen secured for the future as for- the present
work—namely, the writer of the Drury Lane
pantomimes, a gentleman on the staff of the
Uourt Journal, and a celebrated mad-dootor,
who is in the habit of making copious notes
of the conversation of his patients. Nothing
whatever is said iu Lothrur about the pre
eminence of the Jewish race, which' formed
so prothinent a feature in a' former work. In
that preceding novel it was shown that most
of the illustrious people at that time, existing
were of Hebrew blood. But a whole genera
titan sof celebrities had sprung into distinction
since. Mr. Disraeli is not a man who&mu
dens-bis-ideas, atfffitiStili - remains for him to
do justice to - those , which ' ho most fondly
cherishes. Accordingly, in the continuation
of Lothair a great many eminent _persons..ot
this time—such as Count Bismarck, President
Lopez, -Generals Lee and - -Sherman,
Messrs. - Blondin and A ),Leotard, Herr'
Joachim, Madame Patti, M. Lessens
,and Mr. Fechter—will be all
_proved - .
to. belong to the =nit- illustrious of •tlie tribes
of Israel. The Emperor of the French, though
a Jew, can only claim' affinity witk an in
ferior tribe; and Mr. Gladstone, if a J ew at
all, is the posterity of Shimei who reviled -
David. The descent of the Rothschilds from
the wealthy Israehte who supplied the mate
-
dais for the golden calf, is brietlybut clearly"
traced through the money-changers who were
driven out of the temple.. All this, however,
is merely episodical to the continuation in Lo
thair's history. The struggle between. the Pro
testant and Catholic friends ot that hero for the
possession of so important aproselyte . , which.
- ecciirg in the present' "'work, is only introduc-
Wry to the far more important contest that is to
take place in the sequel. The 'active and in
- quiring mind of Lothair has long occupied
itself witirthe mysteries of the Jewish faith,
and the . Chief Rabbi is now his familiar
friend; The bishop, with his chaplain and
trusty archdeacon, brings a strong counter in
tluence to work. And as when two of rival_
- parties - contest:a aeatT . :a -candidateAnteitile -to both may sometimes carry the election, so the
astute Cardinal, ever on the watch, bears
- down at - the head of - his - Monsignorea on life
devoted Lothair, who has already began to
talk of building a synagogue The rival ec- -
, elesiasties are indefatigable in their efforts
the Rabbi endeavors to have the Passover
kept' at Muriel, while the Bishop presses
sausage . on - Lothair ,- atd• breakfast,-and - the
Cardinal tries • to entrap him
,into eat
ing ham-sandwiches :at lunch.. .A . demestic
- circumstance - - renders - thetriple - contest - snore
exciting, for at thiS juncture the Cynosure of
the Empyrean is confined of twins, and how
they shall be baptized is a matter which is
rightly judged to be of immense importance.
The Bishop is, perpetually dodging_ about the..
misery; followed by his chaplain bearing - a
portable font. The Monsignores 'defeat his
design by spreadinga scandalous report that
lie and the chaplain are trying to make love
to the nurses. The eighth day,.so important
..i a. the__ritea_of_the.....lewhsh __Chureit,--ap-,
proaches. On the seventh night after the
birth the Cardinal seeks Lothair in great
agitation, and makes the most aston
ishing revelation. He has discovered in the
family archives absolute proof that Lothair's
grandfather, who is buried ,in the alabaster
tomb. was his (the Cardinal's) father, and that,
moreover, he was a Jew of the noblest blood.
Not only does the remorseless prelate abandon
• tempt to convert, T o sthai e ,t s _p, sman i sm,
hut he announces his own intention to em
brace the religion of Moses, deferring it only
till lie can go to Rome and try to bring the
Pope over with him to the new creed. - This
decides the wavering Lothair, in spite of the -
tears and entreaties of the Lady Corisande.
The next morning the twins, to the great

all due ceremonies, and received tee names of
M oses and Aarou. Both are also called
Tussaud, aftertheir. grandmother. Lord Moses
Tussaud Lothair, as he grows up, shows a
princely prodigality of disposition, and attests
the purity of his race by an early leaning to
wards Mosaic jewelry, and further by a pro
posal (which greatly exasperates his noble
parent) to sell the gold railing of his great
grandfather's tomb. Lord Aaron, the younger

of Christendom, but of Israel, and to the ex

A DREADFUL DEATH
A Fall of One Hundred and Fifty Feet.
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
Shortly after 8 o'clock, yesterday morning,
two men were • standing near the corner .of
SeVenteentlf and Smith streets, looking up to
near the top of the graceful spire of the beau
tifpl new St. Paul's church, southwest- corner
orthose streets, where men, who looked like
small boys, were
_banging by rotten ropes,
slating, the spire. The observers were won
dering how men could work at that dizzy
height, with no barrier between a slip and
death, when suddenly a thrill of horror
passed through - them, and their faces
bleached to the hue of chalk, as they saw one
end of the slender swing drop ; and they held
their breath as they saw the body of a man,
the instant before full of vitality, health and
peace of mind, launched heels over head; for
a fall of a hundred and fifty feet or more,
bumping with all the force that a hundred and
sixty pounds can gain in a long fall against
jagged stones - , and in another second striking
the pavement, a mere bundle of etushed•and
pounded bones and flesh, from which' life had
fled.
The victim was GeOrge'Jayne, in the em
.ploy. of Dunn & Witt, forty-live years of age,
having a wife 'and live children. Mr. Jayne,
about a year since, met with a similar acci
dent, which caused him to ho confined to his
bed for many months; and finally to return to
his work with impaired sight. Ho was en
gaged in slating tit. John's Episcopal Church
and losing his footing while moving the scaf
fold, was, precipitated to tho ground, a dis
tance or eighty-or ninety foot.'
Having a dread of again working at this
trade, ho tried paper-hanging for a time this
spring, to avoid the, dangers• of slating, but
that business proving dull, he resumed slating.
He was a member of Lincoln Park Church,
and a consistent Christian, much beloved by
his fellow-members, sober and industrious.

HAVANA, June 7th.—The steamer Upton is
now definitely known - to have successfully
landed her passengers, arms and ammunition
upon the island, and to have left . for South
America, where she is to take on another
, expedition -- , - atitettier place el
disembarkation was. Punta Brava, which ia
situated between Nuevitas and Manati, nearer
to the latter than to the former place.
The landed passengers failed to get off
to the interior, lines of the insurgents without
being discovered, but, having been seen, were
attacked by two of those American contribu
tions to the Spanish cause, the Delamater gun
boatslEco and Yumuri and were made to - ex-;
perience a small loss in men, and a greater one
in arms and ammunition. The news of this
disaster comes entirely from Spanish sources,
and through reports sent from - Nuevitas to
Caibarien by a war steamer, and from there
to Havana by telegraph. The official accounts
are two innum ber,zwhiclel.give:._ _The first,-
from Captain General Rodas t reads thus ,
' ' • The steamer Upton lafided her expedition at
Punta Brava. !The gunboats Eco and •Vu mad
.hasten.ed_to_the place,_with.loo-artillerists, and
dispersed the pirates, killing ten, including a
Captain H. Humison, drowned two and-cap
tured three. Also took a steam launch,
several gutta-parch rafts, and the whole cargo,
consisting . of
.• tarns, , ammunition, - . medicines,
clothing, and mailbags.- The - column of Curl,
in its march to Cachaza and back, met no , in
surgents, yet brought in 300 presetitadosi Major
Montaner has sent twenty:two prisoners and
180 presentudes to Las Minas. - • -
The second account, from the naval officer
in command. at: Nuevitas to Admiral , .Mai
campo, is longer; more explicit, and ap
parently more reliable : -
The steamer Upton effected a landing at
Punta Brava, which was discovered by the
Eco. This vessel, aided by the Ytimuri and
100 artillerists, commanded by Captain Na
varro, captured Me, cargo, or. two.-tons.. of
powder, 128,000 Spencer cartridges, 200,000
caps, 1,700 guns, 2,800 pounds of sulphur, 400
pounds saltpetre, gum rafts, clothing, corres
pondence, medicine chests and surgical in
struments. Also, killed ten men and captured
three. The expedition was commanded by
Gaspar Betancourt and •F. I. Cisneros. The
latter left with the vessel and remainder of
cargo for Colombia, where he .is to tak_e_on.:

The two. accounts are no doubt far from sat
isfactory, and leave much to be yet told. It
will be noticed that there is .a great point of
difference between them. General_ Rodas
speaking a w 4
ctufed steam' launch;"and the
naval officer, who should be the better posted
, ,
oi the two, saying nothing about such 'a
launch. *A correspotident of the Havana Troz
de Cuba also sent from Nnevitas by the same
route a 'despatch aliout the - Upton and her
expedition, in which he states that- the fili
busters bad been' landed at • Punta,"
Brava eighriciayszwben they_were attacked;.
that the heti, when she discovered them,
at once - steamed for Gibarei where
she procured the aid of the Yumuri and one
hundred artillerists, and then returned and
made the attack. The correspondent is, no
.deubt, mistaken-as-tothe -- length-of-time-the
passengers of the Upton had been at Punta
Brava when attacked, bnt there can be no
question but that they had been there long
enough to carry a goodly part of the cargo in
to the interior, and must have done so. The
Upton is known to have had several cannons
on board, which must have been landed, and
yet the Spaniards say nothing as
to them. Furthermore, much over
-128,000--c-artridgec musty---have — been
landed, and the Spaniards do not
claim to have taken any more. There are
many rumors and reports in circulation here
about the expeditiou, but they are not credi
-table, and J have given you all that is reliable.
A mail steamer is expected to-day from Nue
vitas, and by her I expect full and ample par
ticulars. The correspondent of the Voz de
Cuba, I sl-ould say, gives the name of the
killed American as Captain Harrison, and not
Captain Humison, as given by General Rodas,
and I think he is about correct.
From the Gaceta Official, of Havana,' of
Saturday, I find that the military tribunals of
the city during the past month sentenced
thirty-one Cubans._ and one Cuban lady to
various terms of imprisonment for disloyalty,
no less than twenty of the men, and the lady,
Dona Luisa, Perez,getting as much as ten years
each. The most prominent of the male suf
ferers -are Satires Francisco Castro Fer
nandez, Nicolas M. de Espinosa, Francisco
Pedrosa,Thomas Morrell and Mariano-Feiter.
Besides, these military tribunals during the
month also sentenced six persons to death, of
whose executions I gave you particularS as
they occurred. Thus you will see that the hand
of Spanish power-is now a very heavy one
here, that grips hard and crushes deep.in or
der to preserve a semblance of loyalty in- this
no longer faithful island. In the same number
of the Gaceta there also appeared a very long
list of persons doomed in the past to lose their
properties by confiscation, but who have been
found to have no confiscatable properties.
Very strangely the names of General Jordan
and Colonel Ryan are omitted. from the list,
which seems to imply that the Spaniards have
gotten on the traces of conflscatable proper
ties of theirs, they having been months ago
embraced in the Captain-General's confisca
tion orders. If the implication be correct, the
friends of the two gentlemen are sure that the
Dons will have a bard task of it in following
up the supposed traces. -_,-
The United States monitor Terror, double
turreted, came into port on Saturday, accom
panied by the war steamer Tuscarora. They
made four American war vessels in the bay,
and this display of American force somewhat
excited the Spaniards, until hours later the
Severn left for Key West, when they conelu
ded there could be nothing very serious in the
wind, since the American flag-ship had gone
away. There are many reports of au approach
ing recognition of Cuban belligerency by the
United States that keep the Spaniards in an
angry mood. All those I have spoken to on
the subject have proclaimed themselves in
favor of immediate war between Spain and
the United States, in the event of such a rec
ognition, and if then such a war is not ' de
clared, lam positive it will only be through
the action of the men in power in Spain over
riding the wishes and intentions of the loyalists
of the island. '
There has been several attempts at revolu
tion lately made in the sister- island of Puerto
Rico, but the authorities here have suppressed
all newt; as to them, and in consequeuce only
uerellable speculations and conjectures are in
circulation. A passenger per French steamer
Guadeloupe. which stopped here on Sunday on
her way from St. Thomas to. Vera Cruz, how
ever,reports that the revolutionary movements
had-all been- ni pnedin'the - bud - by - the Span: -
lards and loyal Puerto Ricans, and that many
implicated parties had been arrested, and
twenty-eight of them Mot.. You are likely to get •
fiather particulars by way of St. Thomas

PRICE THREE CENVS.
ROBBERY Al WABRJUNSPWON.
Wattle Sam the Ylettsim.
WASHINGTON, June 12.--Yesterday the Otytr
ernment was cleverly robbed of twenty.them
sand dollars. The following are the facts as
obtained from General Sphaner,•United States
Treasurer: At nearly three o'clbck it was to
)orted to him by Mr. Root, Chief of_ the Usu.
' 'sionßlif4l - ie -- T - rreasttrer'si -- 0111cL,• • %
bundles of ten-dollar notes,. new issue of
greenbacks, bad been stolen from hiS room.
Each bundle contained one thousand notes,
amounting to ten thousand dollars. There/
are employed in this room nearly one haw
dred clerks and counters. Yesterday morning:
these bundles of money, with a number
of others, were delivered by Mr-
Ma-
Cartee, Chief of the - - Printing: - Division
to Mr. Root, who receipted for them,-
for the United States Treasurer. These+
bundles are usually all assorted and' counted,
' and then placed in the Treasury vaults ready
for issue. About 2 o'clock two ladies, aecom4.
ponied by a gentleman, visited the. ream,
as permitted to visitors. One of -thee
ladies was well known to Mr: • Root;
and the others being her friends, he
showed them the room. Two young men fol..
Lowed this_ party_ into - the-room,- and-as a--
matter of course, Mr. Root thought they were
of the sam(party. One of them looked arotniT
a little, and walked past the table where the
bundles of uncounted money were lying,:
when the other shoved Ids _face into.
that" 'of a colored- - woman who was
watching this money, and asked her for
a Miss Clark. ,The colored woman' answered'
that there was.no Miss 'Clark there, and in
dignantly asked the young man not to shove
his face so close to hers, as the ladies and'
gentlemen in the room would notice it. It was.
evidently at this time that the two bandlettor
money were taken by the accornplice, who,.
holding his hat under his arm, placed the•
bundles under his coat, a black sack, and then
made good his escape, because there was no'
suspicion that money was stolen' for near
an hour after he had left. The. ladies
and gentlemen in the room were
all closely examined, -and nothing
found upon any of them to implicate theni
any way. They all remained in the room until
11 o'clock last night, and until after the closest
search and counting was gone through with.
hiceartee bad a thorough recount made
in the Printing Burean,and every room where
_these bundles passed through showed the
checicand - receiptTse - tharthere-tvas -
the bundles were delivered, and, in fact, the
receipts for them were remembered Mr.-

come to the conclusion that the Treasury has
been robbed, and the detectives have been set
to work to ferret out the„matter if possible.

Third—To give to both parties the same ad

the war as been conducted. •
The minority of the committee, composed of
Orth, of Indiana; Judd, of Illinois; Ambler,
of Ohio, and Willard, of Vermont, do not con
cur with a majority of the committee in ,re-,
commending for the approval of the 'Heine
the joint resolution covering the above points
in relation to the contest between the people
of Cuba and the government of Spain, but do
recommend, as a substitute for said proposed
joint resolution, the passage o 1 a.„1411 =eking
It a misdemeanor to tit out or equiP ships Cl
war, with intent that they shall be em
ployed in the service of any European •
prince or state, for the purpose of subduing
American colonists claiming independence,'
and providing for the forfeiture of 'Such a'
ship or vessel. The minority confess their
inability to see any evidence that. there is a
Cuban revolutionary government in existence,
and exercising permanent control over any
portion of the island, and are constrained, to
believe that the constitution, political di
visions, and control of the island are mainly
on paper. The manner of the promulgation
of the constitution, the long-continued
doubts as to its •provisions, the
absence -of the elections, and the
uncertainty which hangs over everything con-.
netted with the insurrection seem to them not
at all compiatible with an actual existing and
established, government entitled to any sort of
recognition. In their opinion the revolution
ary government of Cuba has no existence out
side of the camps of the patriotic bands. They.
add that "it is not pretended that the insur
gents control any considerab a town or city.
indeed, the majority concede they do not. It
is submitted that a revolution that has not.
yet acquired a single town as it capital, has.
not command of a single seaport, and haS not
a vessel, afloat; is hardly in condition to claim
that it is a government," entitled to a formal
declaration of neutrality, which in effect is a
recognition that it is entitled to belligerent
rights. The minority further add that a decla
ration of neutrality is a concession of belliger
ent rights. It recognizes a condition of war
as existing, and entitles both parties, so far ea
the neutral nation is concerned, to belligerent
rights. Such a declaration would enlarge the.
rights of Spain as against this country. They
express the conviction that this government
should maintain such'a naval force ,in Cuban
waters as will folly protect our citizens in
their rights and insure theme fair trial on any
criminal charges that may be preferred against
them.— World.
