Tut bill to repeal the local option law was unexpectedly defeated in .the llMie by vote of 39 to 29. The rote tvas a remarkably small one, showing an unusual amount of " ' dodging, considering the decisive ma jority "by which the bill was passed , p to second reading. The thirsty - ones mnst now grin and bear it for another year, or confine themselves to alcohol and other simple beveragch. Governor Iix, of New York, has signed the bill passed by the late Legislature, which compels parents rand guardiaBS of children between tb$ ages of igbt and fifteen years to givo them, in a school or at home, at least fourteen weeks regular instruc ,tion every year in reading, writing, arithmetic, English grammar and ge ography. It prohibits the employ ment of children within the ages nanicd at any labor during the time when the district schools are opened, jind mfcool. oflicers are given author ity t see that it is enforced. ' The caucus of the Democratic ma- jri'y f the Connecticut Legislature . has decided that Mr. William W. Ea- ton will succeed Mr. Iluckinghani in "the United States' Senate for six years from the fourth of March next. Mr. Eaton is a man of fine abilities, but his intense Democracy, which went so far as to place him in the same class with Yallandingham and , .other northern friends of the Confed- cracyduriog the war, has caused his party since then to bold uim in tne background for the sake of prudence. Itc will assume the Senatorial man- .i tie .'without qualification by experi ence for the high position. -Tut terms of the following Sena- tors expire with the present session : Francis I.

The bill providing for uniform text hwks in our common schools, - nnd reducing the price thereof about "otic-half, which had passed the Sen ale by a large majority, was defeated iVthc House, by a vote I C8 to 20.

The Legislature adjourned on Fri day last. The usual presentations of silver, gold-headed canes, ivory gav els, Ac., to the oflicers, were indulg ed in, and the members returned to their homes, ruanv of them to be heard of no more forever, as law makers. The session was a protract ed one, and many important laws were enacted, of which we shall hear more in the future, when its work comes to be scanned and put to prac tical test. In the main the general session was decorous, and but little was heard of the scandals usually so rife about llarrisbunr. Fur all of which let us be devoutly thankful. The Ilarrisburg correspondent fo the Pittsburgh Vomnu rcial, tele graphs that paper under date of 14th inst., as follows: "Hon. John Cess na was here to-day looking up a question of time for the election for next Congressmen. He says that ar ticle one, section four, of the Consti tution of the United States provides that 'he Legislature of each State shall prescribe tbo timo for electing members of Consrcss. The act of Assembly of Pennsylvania of 1839 provides that Congressmen shall be elected on the second Tuesday in Oc tobcr. This act is uaiepealcd, and unless Congress changes the time the members of the next Congress must be chosen on the second Tuesday in October. He declares that he will immediately on his return to Wash ington introduce a bill fixing the time in November as prescribed by the new Constitution' It is manifest from the temper dis played by the U. S. Senate in the passage of the new financial bill, that no compromise can be effected between the inflationists aud their op ponents. The former still hold a ma jority in both Houses and arc appa rently determined to brave another veto from the President. The " dog in the manger" policy, is not a very elevated or dignified role tor a major ity of United States Senators to play. The President has by his veto given fair notice that he will not assent to an inflation of the currency, and these Senators, rejecting all offers of com promise, have apparently determined that the country shall accept their views, or that no other measure shall be passed. We judge, therefore, that business men may s well make up their minds to the fact that, the close of the present session will leave the financial question pretty much in the condition it was when Congress as sembled in December last. The Pittsburgh Gazette for some time past, has exhibited signs of hos tility to the re-nomination of U. S. Senator Scott, audit has finally made his opposition to inflation of the Na tional currency the pretext for taking open ground against him, which it docs as follows: "Legislative candi dates will now rapidly conic forward. This community, in its interests and sentiments, strongly favors an in crease of currency, iu some form, and legislation on this subject must be enacted at the next session of Con gress. The Legislature to be elected th's fall will have the election of a United States Senator in its hands. This fact should not be lost sight of; aod the members from Allegheny eountv should bj selected with refer ence to their views on this subject. The Senator who represents Western Pennsylvania iu Congress, should represent the views of his constitu ency, and wc call attention to this phase of the subject thus early that it may not be lost sight of." The Gazett' right to oppose Sena tor Scott's re-nomination is unques tioned, hut the policy of basing its hostility on the ground it does, is more than questionable. There is wide diversity of opiuion among Re publicans on this Fiibject, and nota bly the views Of Senator Scott coin cide with those of the Presideut. Therefore in thus attempting to make its own financial views, a test of Sen atorial eligibility, our compeer is not only utterly reckless of party unity, but is attempting to array the party against the President on a question upon which public opinion is much divided irrespective of political sen timent.

OI R M.H YORK LETTER. ,.! 'ew York., May 19 1874 ,, , j furuisbcs oxceHonl tbor.. , , . , novel:BtB aud great poets, but her isupremacy does not end with these." She fur nisl s the most accomplished, rook ies , brutal and skillful burglars that af, ..el the world. A gang of perhaps t-Actiiy, came over last fall, to prose- ii.- their busincssin the New World. Four of them .verc arrested last week and I thought, possibly, a look at them and their tools, might result in something. I found two men, of i o jtcrhaps forty years of age, with low foreheads, small, keen ferret-like eyes, short squat figures, but of wonderful etronnrlli linlt. with tlio fimnll lirnVnn nose that stems to- always be U token of a life of violence and dissipation. The third was a rather handsome young mau, whose face was as clear ahd honest as though he had beon in a confidential position in a bank, and the fourth was a mere lad, whose face, vouug as it was, was as brutal as those of the two older ruffians. The cider villains were reticent, but the young man was very communi cative and from him I got some items that were, to me, at least, of interest "Why did you leave London :" asked. 'Because it got too warm for us. was the reply. "We were wanted for jobs wc had performed in almost every city in England, and wecould'nt keep the police ou us any longer." . 'But, if you Lad done 60 many 'jobs,' y u ought to have had money enough to have retired on by this time "On the contrary we had to borrow money to get awav on. lou sec, this style of business don't make money if you are known to the police and ot ter people who live off of us, If a man who has a good name should break a bank and get 20,000, and get away with it, it would he a nice thing for him. But with one like mo, for instance, it's different. Last year I cracked a bank and got tnat sum al iu jrood money. But it took five oflus to do the job then the watch man of the bank had to be let in that made six then three detectives, who were employed to work up tne case, got their claws into us, and to keep out of prison, we had to uivy with them, aud they kept bleeding us. So, after all, I got out of it, real ly, about 400. And then, to keep myself out of trouble, 1 had to keep myself in hiding, and didn t do stroke of work for over C months. "The last job before that was a haul of solid silver ware, that I did all alone, with no partners, and I got 7, 000 worth of it, and thought I had a good thing. I couldn't keep the stuff, and couldn't sell it as it was. The Jew fences got hold of me, and I had to break it up and sell it forjust what they saw fit to give me, for they could floor me at any time. Ihey melted it, and gave me 000. It's a bad business. I'd rather have a good salarv and follow an honest life." "Who and whut are these comrades of yours?'' "The two older men arc regular cracksmen, that is to say they were born to the business and know noth ing else. They were ouce precisely like the boy yonder. He was taken out of an asylum by a craksman and brought up to it "What use do vou make of him f " "He has been trained to pickpock ets, to rob halls, and that kind of work, when opportunity ofTers, but we use him in other ways, He cets into houses on all sorts of pretexts, and gets the run of a house that wc have spotted to go through He will sec more of a house bv going through from the back area to the front, and with ten minutes talk with a servant maid, than yon could by going through it from top to bot tom. He knows houses, be does. Then, if we have to cut a hole through a door, wc slip him through, and he unlocks in a jifky without noise. He can climb like a monkey and is just about as fearless. Jimmey is a good boy." ' Do you have to use violence very often ?"' "Very seldom never if we can help it. Amateurs do frequently a thorough-bred not twice in a life-time, we get into a house, but always leave a way cut a clean unobstructed way. Now if we are in a room aod the people wake up, we get out w hen it becomes dangerous, aud if our out let is not obstructed it is all right, and nobody is going to be hurt But if a man gets in our way when wc arc going out, we dodge him if wc can if we cannot we knock him down and if he grapples us we use a knife or whatever is the shortest way of getting rid of him. We are always prepared, and will of course kiil rather than be caught." "You have been communicative and I am obliged to you." "I had as soon talk as not for I shall quit the profession. They can't give me more than five years for what I am here for, and I shall get out and live on the square after that. I wasn't born to it, and I don't like it anvhow." The tools taken w ith these fellows were ihown me, and they were as in structive as their owners' talk. Keys to unlock anything thin wedges of steel to go through safes with, ropes with whicl. to get into second stories; long, flexible bamboo rods in sections like the fancy fish poles, on w hich sponges saturated with chloroform are hung. Aud this, by the way, is a pretty operation. The burglar climbs by his cord to a second story window a diamond and pitch plast er takes out a pane ot glass without noise the chloroformed sponge on the end of the bamboo rod is held to the nose of the blceper, and in a few minutes it is as safe to go into that room as it would be were the occu pant dead. Science has thus been subordinated to crime as well as to legitimate purposes. Their weapons of offence aud de fence are very ingenious. The sand bag is a simple bag filled with fine sand, with which a terrible blow can be given without making any noise. Then they have a long leather weap on shaped like a club, filled with the same material. The jimmey, which is the technical name for a small steel crowbar, is a terrible weapon, in addition to which they have the most deadlcy and certain revolvers, and the most murderous knives. But enough of these fellows, I saw them in my own bed-room, in im amgination, every night for a week, after my interview with them. MEAT. New York is bothered about meat. V dlrJn)tn fyr hundreds of miles t"e c.ty, never keep calves, for the c,ves consune milk, which is from the c'ty go out and contract them by the thousand, and kill them when tbey are a week or two old, and this vile stnfT U exposed for sale in the markets. There is a law rernlatinir the trafii cin mPMts unit cn mnrh c!b. ncss has been caused by unwholsome meats, that the health officers have taken tbo matter in band. One day last week seven thousand carcues calves, less than four weeks old, were brui0'ht to this city. Of course the butchers sufficiently iinscrupulaus to sell imraatured veali would just as quickly sell diseased meat of other kinds. So you see thfr poor fieuplej who have to depend upon the lower grades of butchers aod are compelled to eat cheap meat, bate an exceed ingly good chance of living on meat that will make but' a short stay to lite. I he lettcr class of butchers are as honest here as they are anywhere, but heaven .help those , who r ate obliged to depend upon the lower grades. THE, FUEIHIIT QUESTION t f ' ! i i 'J is the gnost ot the .ew l ork bus- t . "fTr TT " - . discussion. Tho trouble is terminal facilities.' So long as the Erie Capa could bring hither all the produce of the country it wa9 all lovely, but the trouble is the production has out grown the canal and many milions of bnsbels had, perforce to go by rail And the railroads have no facilities for putting it on vessels. Iu la'ct, al that come by rail has to be carted and handled by hand, and the cost of this more than eafs up the profits, and is a grievous tax. upon the produces. Hence the grain trade' of the city is being diverted to other points Mon treal, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Pennsylvania' Company have already pushed a branch to Toledo, one of the great grain gathering oints, and a vast amount of grain from that point which formerly went to New York goes now to Philadel phia. The Baltimore & Ohio is pushing a Hue to Chicago, and an other to Toledo, to take its share, and the great line of propellers and sail vessels from Toledo to Montreal is being increased as fast as vessels can oe uuiit. Andt now 2cv ,ioti is sweating over the prospect, and is talk ing of building railroads to the water side, and all that sort of thing. What New York will have to do to hold her commercial supremacy will be to enlarge the Lne Canal so that lake vessels can pass through without breaking bulk at Buffalo, and .then for the winter traffic get her railroads down to the docks, where the export vessels can take grain directly from the cars. Then there should be a little infusion of honesty among the officials, so that the saving in facili ties would not be counterbalanced by stealing. This would fix New York as the commercial capital of tbecoun- try forever, and nothing else will. THK WEATHER. After the worst winter and spriug ever known, wc are at last seeing the sun every day. Ahd it looks good. So far, for weeks, it has been nothing but rain, rain, rain. But Old Sol has finally got cut and New York is once more bright and beauti ful. 11LSIN ESS is as dull as it can be, and the mer chants have given up all hope of its being any better this spring. They hope for a good fall trade, but the spring they consider hopeless, 1 guess they are right. The people are buving just as little as possible, and paying the same way. May the change soon come.

DEATH -MD' DESTRUCTION. Four Massaclmsetts Tillages Otliter : ; M in an fc IIavpe.willf., Mass., May 10. The large reservoir, about four miles north of this place, burst about eight o'clock this morning, and the water rushed down the hills carrying every thing before it. The flood struck the southeastern portion of Williamsburg, a village two miles north of this place, carrying away a large number of dwellings, and sweeping along to Skinnersville, it demolished Skiuner's large silk mills, and his boarding and dwelling houses. Continuing on, the water struck the large brass manufac tory of Hayden, Gere & Co., sweep ing it away in an instant. Large stones and machinery were swept through the main streets at a fearful rate, and well-built houses were in stantly crushed, not givisg the in mates a moment s warning, the flood caught the village of Leeds, where a large number of . shops, dwellings, &c., were swept away. New Haven, Conn., May 17. A twenty-four inch pipe in tho dam of the Great Ashficld reservoir above Williamsburg, Mass., bad been leak ing for weeks, and some people bad shaken their beads and said the dam must be -attended to or it might break. It did break. Yesterday morning the masonry around this outlet gave way, and then, all in a minute, as if a piece had been biten cut of the dam, a great wall of water seemed to spring up into the air and leap out into the sink below, . The standing joke of Mill River .valley "Look out, the dam is broken," was prooved no joke at last The torrent was upon Wil liamsburg in ten minutes, and sent its spray above trees sixty feet high. It crunched one house like paper, and killed a woman and her two children then another and another ; swept the woolen mills and rushed ou at the rate of twenty miles an hour. As it came raging down the valley it dug up houses and swallowed them in an instant, leaving no trace. : Tree-butts and great stones came down, with the flood. Tbe mouutaio of water, roar ing like a thunder-storm of hail, reach-' ed Skinnersville and lifted .the silk mills upou its shoulders before shred-diug-them into bits. At Ilnytleuville it swept away the factory iu a mo ment At Leeds it came down a wall of water, forced by an abattis of tiuibers, trees and iron boilers, which struck tbe village in full front There was an hour and a half of flood, and then ebb, and at noon those who had escaped came back iu crowds to sec the ruin.' It is an awful sight. Houses are twisted like crumpled paper, trees stripped of their bark and limbs, even, when their roots have clung to the soil. The beautiful val ley is a-waste of mud and muddy water laden with distorted ana strange shapes. Great boilers have been carried- hundreds of yards and left crushed totrethcr and buried. A man was picked up from u tree upon which he bad ridden six miles on the torrent, cheering and waiving - his coat The poor fellow's mind was gone. No less than , eight casr cf insanity followed among those who have lost tbeir relatives aud friends! by this terrible calamity, aud three were committed , to tho asylum in Northampton. Everything was ground fine. When' the flood was past, the timbers were in toothpicks; and scraps of iron, bricks, great . stones newly become boulders, and here and there a corpse or a piecq of a corpse. All the windings of the valley were till ed with the . debris. A terrible pic ture of waste and death in the most beautiful ' valley , of Massachusetts! Tbe gracious work of saving the dead from this burial began at noon. ', At Skinner ille the first bodies were; picked up, dugout from the mud or Little Bock, May 12.

At llaydenville f"-rty bodies were (fathered by niirht: at Leeds, forty-live. There had been in the afternoon gangs of pluuderers promptly turned to workers by no stinted threats; the people were ready to brain them with the first stone. There were fewer dead at Florence and Northampton one hundred and forty in all and many more are cer tainly buried in the mud and rubbish that fill the volley with black heaps lroui-.i illiamsburgh to Northamp ton, a man on horseback (rave warn ing through the upper half of the valby, but some would not hear and some turned to their houses and to the great factory for safety. One man, at the Haydenville factory, sav ed his life by sticking to the house out he was a marvelous exception lie ran intoa closet that stood against the great chimney of the factory, and when the factory was crushed the chimney stood and his closet stuck to it like a lantern against a wall, witl him waiving his arm for help out of a nreacn ne Had made in Its walls. t it i ... But a man and a girl who ran out at the roar ot the waters to run back for a haven of safety, went down under the building.

I he Lic king-Water river, as thev call it, has been a sea and is now a trickling stream lost in miles of mud I he lake, hemmed in bv defective masonry up among Goshen hills, has done its work terribly. It appcirs that serious doubts as to the safety of the reservoir had oeen ciiuTiRincn ever siiic' it was built, nine years ago, though less the last year or two than in its earlv his tory. The gatekeeper has several times expressed fears to hi employ- ers, calling special attention once to the point where the break occurred but the examiners ahvavs reported everything safe. The direct cause of the disaster, beside the general weak ness ot the dam, nint remain a sub ject of speculation. Perhaps as sat isfactory a theory as any is the one advanced by a man familiar with the case, that frosts had started the earth so that the water had found nu merous little courses through it, which finally carried off the first mass of earth Saturday morning and at ouce precipitated the catastrjphe. New Yc.uk, .May 17. A ,S't spec ial from Northampton. Mass.. mv- just below Leeds, on what was a pret ty lawn called Warner's flats a vast amonnt of debris was collected. A hundred men with ox teams and horses to move the heavy timbers, began work early in the morning. In the first half hour five bodies verc found, and before noon thirty were unburieu from that spot. The oper atives from Williamsburg, whose lost ones bad not been recovered, crowded the little carpenter shop iuto which the bodies were carried, and all were. recognized, although some were so dihtigured as to bo almost past recognition. In the string of vehicles every few rods were wagons contain ing one, two and some times four coffined bodies en route to the ceme tery, for in the universal bereave ment interment followed swiftly after the recovery of the bodies, and funeral services, excepting in a few instauces were dispensed with. At Hayden ville the bodies were laid out in the Congregational church. Lying side by side were a mother and her chil dren; near them a mother and her married daughter and her two infant children. The dead of those whom the flood had left destitute were buried at the expense of the town. 1 he dead of Williamsburg num ber fifty-seven. The town ball was thick with the uncoflined bodies, prin cipally of women and childreu The churches were closed and pastors and people devoted their whole time tc the care of the dead, which were re moved to tbe receiving vault of the cemetry as rapidly ns the burial facilities permitted. One poor fellow worked alone for an hour around the wreck of his own house, which wa.i carried away half a mile from its place. He lifted up the board a and timbers very carfullv, peering inside them so anxiously that a throng soon assembled around to watch his movements. "I'm hunt ing my wife," he said, when ques tioned; "she was in the house when the flood came and she must be near it now." Those who tried to help bini were scarcely able to do so be cause he would have each board lifted as carefully as though the body lay below. He worked late into the afternoon before he learned t'mt her body was among those found on Warner's flats. Mutiny of Ktcmbont lluntlw. Caiuo, HI., May 14. A large erowd ga'.hered on the levee to-night on announcement that a telegram had been received from the Captain of the steamer James Howard, request ing the Sheriff and a posse to take a tug and meet the boat below the city with a dozen handcuffs. Uv the ar rival of the boat we learn that the mate attempted to put a negro deck hand on shore near Hall's Point, as a penalty for stealing from deck pas sengers, when the balance of the deck crew mutinatcd and attacked the officers with clubs, knives, Ac. The mate received a cut on his arm and the carpenter was considerably bruis ed. The mutineers were finally over powered and placed in the hold of the boat. Nobody was seriously hurt. Sheriff Irwin arrested eleven of" them, all negroes. One escaped before the boat arrived. It is supposed he jump- eu over ooani. a decs passenger on the Howard, name unkuown. dur - 1 t 1 a i .

I-i.ll ofi Kill 1.1 inxr. Riffai.0, May 11. About half past Gve this afternoon, without pre vious warning,' McArthur's four story brick block on Main Street, above L'agle, fell with a terrible crash, crushing in the adjoining two story brick. The block was occupi ed by MeArthur, confectioner: Lauke, jcwler: Coak, Sheffell it Co., variety store, and others. A daughter of the janitor, Frank Nagle, five years old, was instantly killed : also a" son of Professor Rnekhini nriiifiiml nf 01 i loicssor UULKnam, principal OI the State normal school. Mrs. Ruck- ham had a le-g broken and was se verely bruised, Emma G. Marsh, fourteen years old, had her left arm torn off and her skull fractured. Re ports prevail that one or more are still under the debris. There were many narrow escapes. Some thirty persons were in the building whe n it fell. The cause is attributed to the carelessness ef some masons who knocked out a portion of the back wall of McArthur's block to connect with a new building in the rear. Loss estimated at $".0,000. I'nrllirr About Ihr t rrvnw. Mkmi'iiis, May 13 Al.out day light yesterday morning the levee broke at Aptcrson's plantation oppo site Friar's Point. At last accounts the crcvass was one hundred und fifty yards wide and the water spread ing over the plantation, one of the finest in thai section. The crevasse at Miller's, on the Mississippi side, is now six hundred yards wide, and the water in the streets at Friar's Point is three feet deep. Fsitniiif.t , 1 , j are moving out, irui iii rciiants arc busily engaged in removing t tu-ir goods. The whole country in the rear is rapidly he-ing inundated. Some idea may he formed of the power of the water rushing through the crevasse by its tearing up huge cotton-wood trees two and a half feet in diameter and scattering them over the neighboring plantations.

The Hfnil lirnn has a special from Springfield, Mo., stating that n mail carrier and a Mr. Truett, who was riding with him, were robbed a day or two ago in a Clayton pinery and the mail rilled. The robbers were tracked by a party of twenty men to JJoone county, Arkana, and in a fight with then) Rev. Mr. New wag tilled aud another man scriou.sly wounded. The robbers escaped. Mr. New was a minister of the Methodist Church, and had but recently came from Iowa. nlrl Amrrlra. New York, May 13. A Punaina letter of May 3, gives the following account of the tragedy that recently occurred at San J one de Guatemala: It appears that tho Commandant of that post, Col. Gonzales, had some personal difficulty with II. 1. M.'s Vice Connsul, John .Magee, iu refer ence to clearances for vessels lying in port. They had exchanged biovvs on the street. On April '!, Gonzales summoned Magce to come to hi.-i of fice. The latter excused him.-elf, and alleged that lameness prevented his walking. -V party of armed soldiers was sent to bring him dead or alive. Magce was arrested and thrown into a cart and jolted over the stones to the government headquarters here. Gonzales, not daring to shoot him, took the butt of a pistol and str k his prisoner violently in the face, heaping on him, iu the meantime, very obscene epithets. At the same timo the Commandant declared that he should receive four hundred lahes, and if he should survive this torture he should be shot the next morning. The unfortunate Vice Consul vainly invoked protection from his ting, and the remonstrance of Mr. James, Uni ted States Consular Agent, was also disregarded by the Commandant. The Pacific Mail steamship Aii zona arrived at San Jose from San Francisco at noon, but her presence did not keep the Commandant from his purpose. He seized the telegraph station, planted two cannon on the wharf which commanded the Arizona as she lay at anchor, and then pro ceeded to work out his owu plans. At four o'clock in the afternoon Ma gee was brought out, stripped of his coat and vest, and thrown prostrate on the stone floor. Four soldiers sat on his hands, fe et and head, and fuur others proceeded to administer lashes with rattan sticks, the Commandant coolly keeping tally of the stripes. After two hundred lashes had been inflicted, the victim became insensi ble, and the surgeon of the port in terfered, in!c-tii);r that the man would die if his torture was contin ued. Thereupon the remaining two hundred lashes were postponed until the next morning, immediately be fore the hour appointe d for the exe cution. Magce was then taken back to his cell. With a lu lish refinement of c ruelty, the Commandant visited his victim several times during the night, and placed the muzzle of his revolver against Magee's temples, a.-king, "Why don't 1 shoot you?" and "don't you want me to put you out of your misery ?" Rumors of these extraordinary pro ceedings had reached Salvador, and a detachment of troops, under General So'on.i, was dispatched to Jan Jose de (iiiateinala. These came in sight just as Ma gee had been placed in po sition to receive the; remaining two hundred lashes. The Commandant, : seeing his downfall near at hand, or dered his soldiers to fire upon Magce. They refused, and he then fled to the Arizona. lie was followed by a boat ! i". the side of the steamer he was nre-ti upon i.v some ii the passengers, I t o-.-.. nits tnl-mrr,.ir..l i,, ,l;ff.,..., j parts of his body. He m inaged to ?''t into the boat, and was taken : ashore, but lived only a few hours.
