Ben Butler says the extra $3,000 paid "members of Congress costs each tax-payer just three cents. lie offers to forward a nostatre stamp to every man dissatisfied with the passago of the hill. He may hen after be callod " three cent Ben." The State Senate contains 19 lawyers, 2 manufacturers, 1 doctor, 1 miller, 3 far mers, 1 painter, 2 merchants, 1 editor, and ouo who records himsolf as a gentleman, but probably he does not mean that none of the rest can claim that title. In Rhode Island the election on Thurs day last, resulted in tho success of the re publican ticket. The vote for governor was Howard, republican, 0,273; Chase, -democrat, 3,505, with a few small towns to hear from. Howard's majority will bo about 5,800. Gov. IIautkanft, is doing an extensive business in tho veto lino. Last week lie retocd one act which defeated over 1000 bills. This was an act extending the time for the payment of the enrollment tax, "which now Is confined to one year, and had the act received his approval, would have Tcopt life in the above large number of bills, "which now are dead. 3 Tho Supremo Court has docidod in the case of the Union mutual fire insurance company of Boston that neither tho expi ration of a policy nor its cancellation re lease the holder from liability to assessment for all losses which occurred whilo he was a memberf "the company. A Rail Road Decision. On Monday of last, week tho Supreme Court of the U. 8., rendered a decision of considerable interest as follows : In the case of Aloott agt. The Supervis ors of Fond Du Lao County, Wisconsin, appealed from the Supreme Court of that state, the important question whether a State has a right to levy taxes for the pur purpoao of aiding in the construction of railroads, or not, was involved. It is the opinion of the Supreme Court that rail roads are publio highways, no matter i whether they are built and operated by the State or by private corporations. The building of railroads is, therefore, a matter of publio concern, to aid which, it is just as lawful to levy taxes as for the building of a wagon road or any other publio work, and the collection of these taxes cannot be re sisted by authority of Article V. of Amend ments of the Constitution of tho United States, which provides that private property shall not be taken for publio use without just compensation. A Civil Service Board. The civil service commission has virtu ally ceased to be in existance, and it is con ceded in administration quartors that it will cever be resuscitated. George Wil liam Curtis resigned, to take effect on the 27th. Ex-Senator Cattell, another momber of the commission, has been appointed special agent abroad, preferring to surren der his place on the civil service board for this office. Mayor Med ill, of Chicago, a third mem ber of the commission, is excluded from serving by the President's order forbid ding federal officers holding local offices, and being compelled to choose between the two places, retains the mayorship. Mr. Walker a fourth member, is not here now, Messrs. Cox, of the interior department, and Blackface, of the post office, the fifth and sixth members of the commission have always opposed the civil service system and opposed tho adoption of the rules now iu force. The only remaining member is E. B. El liott, of the treasury department, who is expected to close up the affairs of the board, and as sole survivor.submit the final report as to its operations. A Temperance State. The Supreme Court of Illinois has just rendered a decision which fixes the perma nency of what is known as the State Tem perance Law. Six agreed cases wont to the court from Bureau county, and. have been decided in favor ot the law. Under this ruling the seller is put on the lookout for trouble, and made responsible for what ever evil may result from the trafflo iu which he is engaged. 3T James P. Wells, the head and front of the American gambling house receutly broken up iu Paris, was, ten years ago, a minister in good standing, and had charge of a "Massachusetts church. On April 1st the new Coinage Act, in volving important changes in the manage ment of United States Mints, went into effect. Undor the old system, the Mint at Philadelphia was the headquarters, from which orders were issued to branches at Now Orleans, San Francisco, etc This was well enough so long as tho Philadelphia establishment was the most important of its class in the country, but since tho dis- covcry of gold In California, the San Fran- cisco " branch" has really become the prin cipal mint. The new law organizes a bu reau of tho Treasury Department, over which a director of the mint presides. Ho is to hold oflico for five years, unloss re moved by tho President on recommendation of the Senate. Dr. Lindermann is the first incumbent, he having filled important offices in the mint for a score of years. The old "branch" establishments now become independent of one another, and report directly to tho bureau at Washington. Thero is no change in the gold coinage but there is to be a new " trade dollar" in silver, and the two-cent pieco is abolished. The new dollar is worth five cents more than tho gold dollar, and one cent more than the Mexican silver dollar, tho design being to do away with the necossity of im porting Mexican dollars for export to China and elsewhere, as is now very largely done. A New Orleans Judge. Weighing the Evidence. A short time since a worthy magistrate of this city had rather a difficult question to decide, iu tho solution of which ho struck out a path hitherto unknown in jurisprudence, it seems that twelve ne groes appeared before him, one of whom swore positively that himself and the other eleven had dono a certain amount of work on a steamboat, and was entitled thereby to wages. It was a steady streak, each of tho dozen swearing precisely the same. On tlieotherside nppeared the mate of the boat nnd eleven deck hands, who all twelve sworo directly point blank to an op posite state of facts to those testified to by the twelve plaintiffs. Hero the evidence closed leaving the judge to make up his own mind. His honor scratched his head,lookcd wise, pondered a few moments, nnd then said " The law makes it the duty of the court, when in doubt, to weigh tho evidence. I shall proceed to do so in this cose. " You," turning to oneof the sueing darkeys, "take your crowd over to Mr. (a grocery store in the vicinity) ana have them weighed, and bring me a certificate of their weight from the cloik. And you turning to the mate, "do the same with yourself and witnesses. This court must make up a judgment somehow." The mandate of tho court was obeyed ; the contestants appeared with their respec tive certificates, the mate's party outweigh ing the other by nine pounds, which was sufficient to turn tho scale of justice, for judgment was given for the boat. N, O, rieayune. A Recent Tornado Iu Mississippi Reports regarding the loss of life by the tornado in the viciuity of Canton, Missis sippi, on the 23th ult., are contradictory. A dispatch from Canton says buildings, trees, fences mid everything in the courso of the storm were handled like straws, and for a time the atmosphere soemed thick with limbs and fragments of trees, timbers from buildings and funco rails. Wild rumors were circulated as to the extent of the number killed and wounded, but it has been ascertained that only two persons killed, and fifteen to twenty injured. The number of buildings entirely destroyed is estimated at thirty. Besides a large number are damaged to a greater or loss extent. A dispatch from the interior says the loss of life will reach twenty. A dis patch from Jackson says about a dozen houses were destroyed, one negro killed, one lady fatally injured, and a number of other persons seriously injured. Rutland, t., April 8. The mail train on the Harlem Extension Railroad that loft Rutland at 0:03 A. M. to-day, met with a a seriouB accident at Hunt's Crossing, half a mile north of Bennington, caused by spreading of the tracks. The locomotive and milk car passed safely,but the baggage car,mail car and passenger car were thrown down an embankment twelve feet. The passenger car was turned over and remain ed bottom up. The following is a list of the wounded as far as ascertained : C. S. Malthy, of Millerton, Now York ; S. S Cromock, of Bonnington ; Miss Julia Mat- tison, of Shaftsbury, Vt.; Miss Woodoock, of Manchester, Vt.; R. F. Hard, of Arling ton ; II. B. Brown, of North Adams ; M. R, Sackett, of West Leabnon ; Frank Wilder, of Rutland, Vt. -No person was killed. Disastrous Fires. ' A very destructive fire occurred at Par- Iter's Landing, at an early hour on the 4th inst. Nearly the whole business portion of the town was destroyed. On the same morning a sorious fire oc curred at Oil City, causing a loss of fully 175,000. ZW Daniel S. Marsh, living in Charles town, was arrested on Tuesday,charged with the murder of his son, nine months old, in September, 1871, by throwing him from Fitchburg Railroad bridge. lie has con fessed the deed and the manner In which he committed it. Fanic In a Church. On Monday of last week, a terrible ca lamity bofel the congregation assombled at St John's Catholio church in Trenton, on the occasion of tho funeral of the Rev. Father Makin. The church was donsoly crowded, and thousands stood outside. There were some twenty officiating clorgymen present, and whilo the organ was Bonding forth its peals, and the requiem for the doad waB boing sung, a loud crack was heard which the audience supposed came from the gal lory, and from tho general opinion that it was giving away there arose a most foar ful panic. At onco consternation seized every ono in tho house. Loud screams from women and children took the place of the organ peals. A rush was made to the doors and immediately scores of women nnd children fell and wore trampled beneath the feet of tho maHS of human boings which becamo wodged in between tho front gate and the door. There the mass stood stubborn, im movable. The groans of those beneath wore fearful. ' It was fully ten minutes before tho work of making nn opening for the crowd to pass out into the street was effected. Stalwart men wore all the time busily engaged it) pulling out the women and children. n was a snocKing sight as they were taken out with blackened and bloody faces, and were carried to near residences. Physicians were summoned and the extent of the damage began to be apparent. in the priest s nouse two women were prostrated on tho floor in a spasm, and a little baby with disfigured face and broken arm. A littlo girl about twelve years of ago was Buffering from internal injuries. In the midst of the excitement ladders wore thrown up to the windows, and women and children were taken out. Some of tho windows were broken. The appeals of the clorgy who had jumped out of tho windows and come to tho front door for the mass to retreat back into the church, assuring them that thoro was no danger, were unavaling. The noise did not come from the defect in the gallery, but lrom tho breaking ot a knoeling board in the gallery. The follow ing are tho names of the wounded: Mrs. Julia Slingorhind, Miss Maggie Malony, Mrs. Bridget Clark, Margaret Callahan, Mrs. Richard Cook, Mrs. and Miss Deshire, Mrs. Benjamin Stokes, Rosa Evans and child. A boy and girl, unknown. All the above were badly hurt, some of them in an almost hopeless condition. Nono of them have died, although several are in a critical condition. The event produced the greatest conster nation throughout the city. 'The Mary Celeste Mystery. Tho Gibralter Chronicle of the 4th Inst., has tho following with regard to the aban doned vessel, which differs from the theory of tho Secretary of the Treasury : We have been favored with a copy of a report made by Captain Shnfuldt,, United States ship Plymouth, after a visit paid by him to the, dercloct Mary Celeste. Captain Shufeldt, with every one who has examined the ship, is of opinion that she was aban doned by the master and crew without suf ficient reason, probably in a moment of panic. Ho considers that she may have strained iu a galo, and for the time leaked so much as to soriously alarm tho master, and it is possible that at this time another vessel in sight induced him, as his wife and child were on board, to abandon his ship thus hastily, Should this surmise bo correct, the time which must elapse before he and his crew are again heard of must depend upon tho distance of the port to which the rescuing vessel happened to be bound. Captain Shufeldt altogether rejects the idea of a mutiny, because there is no evidence of vi olence about the deoks or in the cabins, and with regard to tho damage about the bows of the ship, he considers that It amounts merely to splinters in the bending of the planks, ' which were afterwards forced off by tho action of tho sea, and not in any way betokening any intention of wilfully damaging the vessol, The Mary Celeste is confessed on all hands to be at the present moment staunch and seaworthy, and Captain Shufeldt maintains that the master and crew will either be hoard of some day, or, if not, that they have perished in the boat for which they abandoned their own ship. For the present the mystery remains unsolved, but it is satisfactory to note that the opinion of a practical man such as Captain Shufeldt, and an analysis made by Dr. Purton, of that city, of the alleged blood stains, coin cide in refuting the theory of violence. The possible fate of those who were on board the Mary Celeste is sad enough without the addition of mutiny and bloodshed. An April Fool. On the 1st inst., at Brooklyn N. Y. James Montgomery, aepd clevon years, residing in Renisen street, whilo playing hanging, with his brother, put his head in the noose of a rope attached to the ceiling and hanged himself. His body was out down shortly after, but life was extinot. ' 1 CSTThe premium on gold has.been ad vancing until now it is soiling at 1.17. The advance seems to be caused by a struggle between the Secretary of the Treasury and uie goia brokers. i JVew Advertisements, f VALUABLE HEAL ESTATE At Private Sale.
