from a private letter' from Rear Admiral
Davis. The information received from their
officers differs fronithiipublished accounts.
Rear Admiral Davis,'letter is dated,Rio De

am on terms of intimate intercourse, came
yesterday to furnish me some information
recently received from the Captain of the

been, busily circulated charging Lopez with
various crimes against humanity, and par
' ticularly with the assassination of Certain
• - foreign Conatils, as for example the French
; Consul and the. Portngese Consul. The
'French Consul left Paraguay in the Decidie.
He has been under no apprehension for his

to give 'mti similar information from Lt.

gun boat Lennet, now lying at Monteviedo,
but recently returned from Paragqay. His
intercourse with Lopez was entirely satisfac
tory in all respects. In short, in several of
the most important particulars touching the
character, conduct a. d situation of Presi
dent • Lopez, the re , , rts of a month ago
after und • ergoing : ~ odifications from time
to time; are now wholly i'sintradicted. My
conclusion is, I 'cannot expect to obtain
perfittly reliably grounds of action until
i approach more nearly to the scene of war.
There has been'at one time an effort made
to condemn Lopez by_ exclamatory denun
ciations, which are now dYIuS away.
• Admiral Deals has not, as has-been
stated, made application to the Secretaryof

to proceed to Paraguay. He has sufficient

i In the Supreme Court, to-day, before
Judge Sutherland, the case of Belmont vs.
the Erie Railway and Jay Go uld having
been called, a motion was Made by the
counsel for the defense for a pos tponement
of the settlement of the order,l.for , a re
ceiver. This was •xellised. Almost every
• clause in the order-"as submitted, was ob.
jected to, and several phrases were struck
out. ' A preliminary point as to '' l the effort
of Judge Barnard'satay of proceedings on
the settlement, was settled by Judge Suth
erland holding that it could not Interfere
between the making of an order and its
settlement. The order, as finally settled,
declares
~.Judge Davies as receiver of the
Erie Company, defines his drities, and
orders all persons holding books,
funds, property, • papers, .' ctc4 belong
ing to said corporation to deliver
the same to hint, and recognize his author

the receiver of the expenses necessary to
carry on the road, and requires him to
make out a list of all the stock of the • Co.,
with the amount of funds in his hands,
and to keep an accurate account of his
transactions with the road. The' Directors
and other officers were directed to refrain
from any interference with him. David
Bawleyos appointed Referee. This order
having been settled, counsel for plaintiffs
; moved another- order vacating 1 the stay
of proceedings granted by Judge Barnard

Thefollowing card is punished today:
,
' , To the . Public—The parties - implicatedin
,
what are known as whisky frauds, under
the laiiierehip of _S. G. CourtneY, United
States District Attorney, have succeeded, ,
after an effort of more than two weeks du
ration, brprocuring an indictment against
me for an alleged • conspiracy to defraud
the Revenue officer. Ido not know upon
what evidence this has been obtained: but
Ido know, whatever'. it is,
it is wholly
false. I trust my — Mends will be 'pa
tient, as / in. the , end.; shall
show to the satisfaction of. every 'right
minded man that I have neither said nor
done anything which should, in the slight
est degree, impair that confidence, or lessen
that measure of respect which it • has here
tofore been my fortune to enjoy. 'This body
of men who have instigated these proceed
ings, have done so in, self-defense. I am
employed by, the President. of the. United
States, and I am acting under his
authority in exposing _the monstrous
frauds which have been committed on the
Revenue. The only escape of parties en
volved into crush me. This they have
attempted by a vile conspiracy. The truth
will prevail in the end, however, despite
all' fforts to prevent it, and the public will
see who is deserving of condemnation.

this morningetecided that th e iron clad; ath

the ends of justice. A ntsw jury has been
summoned under this decision and will

The jury of inquest on the death' of Mr,

as follows of .the Revenue frauds: "We

Sr.L Louis, November= 26..-The Young
Men's • Christian- Association Convention
mat , at. nine . o'clooic .this morning. . The
t regular question was what. is the work
Oft-Young lien's Christian' Conventions,
k ,
filch was introduced by J. R. Merwin,
dthhsequently discussed (briefly by the
riVention.
I' The nextquestion was. the right of elec-.
tion between the churches and Young-
Men's - Christian Associations, which was
t . spoken of by Alfred Connell,‘of St . :Louis,
I Mr. Walters, of Indiana, said he believ
ed the sole object of these. Associations
should be to work for Christ. • Whenever
young men undertook anything • else, any-
thing that was unchristian, they were mis
taken. The sole object of the Amociation
was to make themselves like Christ, not
Christ like them, or according to any de
nomination. •
Rev. A. B. Blair, of 'Cleveland, said it ,
had been represented to him that pastors
of churches.-regarded the. ChriatianAaso
ation as rendering the young men useful
r the purpose.' - His observations led him
ttbo believe that such a conclusion was incor
rect. , •- • :
The Rev-. Mr. Morton offered the follow
ing resolution as embodying the viejvs of
the Convention on the foregoing stibject,
which was adopted: - 1. -
Resolved, That. no other agency can su
percede the Christian Church,- or ;do its
work, the work God has laid 'on it, and for
which He has established it, to preserre
and disseminate truths, to leaven and
evangelize and save the world.`
To aid in this work as an auxillMky to the
church is the legitimate work Otthe "iriing
Mena Christian •Assochstion. it is, wnen
rightly conducted, the chureinabest.friend,
the pastors right arm and I strong, earnest,
efficient laborer In die lifastor'Ovinevard.
Every christian orgardzation 'tumid be
untiring in 'three], but must rely 'Upon the
church, which was the birthplace and the
home of the soul; • any aspirations that
- sought to superoode the church was fight
ing agsinst .Chxistian. brotherhood. They
puld dot supply the - placelbf the churcli,
out they could Work for thee chtirek-and in
proportion as they Worked"faithfully, in
tliat proportion Would . they be heldi up by
the! church, animated with I zeal for the
glory of God on High, purposes theyonght
not to seek to aupereede thechuroh, with
all her t"," hallowed associations:' - Any
effort li that: ditection -originated in
, mistaken zeal, and was a war,
n brethren. He stood second to no man
his esteem fort &work of ,this Associa
nem. He believed t.to be the noblest • aux-
Illary of the . It .was .a ;school_
where children ar
.. trained to intelligent
ehurehmemberahi He would; bidthem
God imbed to go mu Weir geed work, of
whatever name or denomination, and faith
falness and loyalty to the Church.
The next queskion the right , work of
the Christiangssoclation--was introduced
by J. - 11. Sherwen r of Si, Louis, who said
he thanked God they-had learned the bene
fiti)of ortganization , rind were taking hold of
this Matter as the did - materiel things. If
they wished•to- id &railroad, individual
incorporation an 'organization were requi
red one man coil* not acoomplish it; nor
any number of men without united effort.
This much. so far as organization and cor
poyition were concerned, had been learned
b Christian& Now; how should the vari
ousorganizatiodi-Ibe employed when they
engage in the work? • Very differently, he
believed, from what they were at present.
He - believed this Association • ought
to reorganize itself. He believed that
it would not fullfil its mission -or
carry out its work, without the" earnest
co-operation of the women,of the • church ;
and instead of calling the association the
Young Men's Christian :Association, . he
would, have them re-organized and theft
names changed to the Young People's
Christian Association, eo that; all persons
who have young blood in `
_their :veins
can work for Christ, . and ! the power
of I evil will give way before. their nni
led 'efforts. The speaker wished not to"
deprecate in the slightest degree what has
been and. what is now being done; but
simply add more power to.the organization.
He also thought other organizations, the
Unitarians, Universalist% and Roman Cath- -
ones, should beinvited tocooperation with
them. The gentlemen submitted the fol
lowingquestions, which he thought should
be ; proposed to every` new megriber of the
Association with a view to a proper diyision
of labor: Will you be a teaoher or a scholar
in 'a Sunday • School or a Mission Sun
,day School, or attend; young . people's

The Trial Trip of the First Locomotive.
• _Major Horatio Allen, the engineer of the
New York4utd Erie Railroad, gives The fol
lowing account of the first trip made by a
locomotive on this continent
• . .
• When was It? Who was it? And who
awakenedits energies and directed its move-
Menti ? / It was in the year 1828, ,on the
\banks of the Lackawaxen, at the commence
incht of the railroads connecting the canal
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
panywith their coalmines—mid he who
, addresses you was the only person on that
' locomotire. The circumstances which/led
to my behig , alone on the road were these :
The road had \been built in the summer; the
structnre was Of,hemlock Aimber, and rails
of large dimensions, notched on cads placed
far . apart. The timber hid cracked and
warped from expossirt3, talthe sun. After'
about three hundred feet of straight line;
the road crossed the Lackanraxen creek on
, trestle work, thirty feet high, with a curve
of three hundred and fifty-five to fotu• hun
dred feet radius The impressien was very
general that the iron monster would break
down-the'road, or it would leave the track.
at the.curve and plunge into the creek.
My reply to such apprehensions' wasthat
it was too late to Consider the ,probability
of such - occurrences; there was no other
course than to have a trial ,rnade of the
strange animal which had 'been brought ,
here at a great expense, butthat - it was not '
necessary that more than one_ Should be in
,volved in its fate; that I would take the first
ride alone, and the timelvould come when
I should look back tothe incident with great
interest. • ,' '
As I placed my hand on the throttle-valve /
handle, I was undecided whether to move
.slowly or with a fair 'degree of speed; bit
believing that the road would provesafe,
and prefeering, if We did go down, to go
handsomely, and without any evidence
timidity. I started with onsiderableveloc
ity, passed the curve of -th& creek safely,
and was soon oat of the hearing of the vast ;
assemblage.. At the end of two or three
miles I reversed the valVe and return - el
without accident, having.thui made the firo,
railroad trip, by locomotive, on the Western
hemisphere. , •
A Safety Rail.
Dr. A. W. Hall's suggestion, made in a '
paper reed a few evenings since before r the
Society of Practical Engineers, for avoiding
accidents on railroads resulting fibril the
breaking or displacement of rails,-is a good '
one and at the same time quite practicable.
Dr. Hall suggests that a second,oz,sufety
rail, be laid inside the working rail, and , that
the wheels of the - cars be made with a dbuble
tread. The safety rail being about ; a Oat.'
ter of an inch lower;than the workingrall,
would not, under ordinary circumstsuctees,i.
be touched by the car wheels. Should, how
ever, the outer rail >be displaced, .the inner
tread of the wheel would fall on the safety
rail and thedists would be carried along es t
betbre, Wlthinft th e passim -hetzt i r
co
se du that untis. hatilwrirceL.—
As old rails might thus Utilized, titecost
of laying a tract of safety rails would not,-
it is estimated, exceed $3,560, per mile..
What railway is there in this country that
has not suffered enough loss by broken rails.
to lay a track of safety rails througliout its';
entire extent ten times over ? A suggestion
was made years ago, in an English paper,
that a middle rail should 'be laid' an all,
tracks, and that each car should be provided
with wheels with deep flanges, placed be
neath the body of the car and running en
the central track. Thus, 'in the event= of
either rail giving way, the central rail would
come into play. Dr. • Hall's. suggestien,
however, is better than the English one.'—

have fluctuated greatly in -value, the United

A Slave -Dealer's Execution.
A writer in the Atlantic referring to the
execution of Gordon, the slave4rader, says:
"Whatever Gordon's life may, liave been
worth to him or to his friends, I think this
country put it. o a very good use whenahe
hanged him. A storm of protests was made
against his death. I Twenty-five ,thOisind
people petitioned Abraham Lincoln' o spare
that man's life, and AbraltamlAncolt refit's- •
ed. Gordon was hanged. All through the I
little ports and big ports of the United States
it was known that a slave-trader had been ' )1
hanged. And when that was known; the 111
American slave trade ended.. All tip' and
down little, African rivers that you never
heard the name of, it was• known that an
American elayeArader had been hanged; and
cowardly pirates trembled, and brave seamen
cheeted when they heard it. Mothers of
children thanked such = gods as they knew
how to thank; and slaves shut up in bans
coons, waiting for their voyage, got signal •
that something had happened which was to
give them freedom. That something was
that Gordon was hanged. So far that little -
candle threw its beams."

When a ''banker, knowing his estate to be
