TheSomerset Herald. WEDESDAY . Stay I. 1TT - Irannpcara that the gift of half the important Federal offices to thj Ohio politicians, will not convert the . Pepnblirans of that State to hearty endorsement of the President's Soutb- era policy. General Boynton of the Cincinnati Gazdfe, a present resi- A, nitt tVaaljinirton. lattlr made a brief visit to Ohio, and on his retarn , went straightway to the White House and informed members of the Presi dent's family that he was completely " astonished to Snd soch an overwhel ming opposition to the President's Southern policy among Ohio Repub licans. He reported that if an elec tion was to be held to-morrow the Eepublicans wonld not carry a single county in that State. Mr. Redfieu), the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial is now in South Carolina. lie says that to all intents and purposes tne Repnbli- can party in South Coralina is dead. It can do nothing, and can elect no- body. As to the spirit of the whites - Mr. RedSeld writes : "There is a wide spread and almost frenzied de termination upon the part of the whites never to allow the Republi can party to came to power again, " and they nerer will. By superior intelligence and resources they will giadaally but efftsctaally crush it out Tbey hare had enough of it, and will go to war before tbey will allow it to come to power again. The New York Timet sent special correspondents to the different So utb ern States to inquire as to the condi tion of things following the inagura tion of the President's Southern oli ey. The reports are not favorable, and tie Time summarizes results: "Nowhere have our correspondents indicated a break, or the sign of a break, in the Democratic ranks in any Southern State, as a result of the President's kindly efforts. The Whig dead 6lumber unconscious of the prayers for their resurrection. The South wants no new leaders, and will have none of them. It will not make terms with the most generous republicans, however important the propitiatory sacrifices." Tue combination between the manufacturers of sewing machines no: to sell below certain rates, will now hare to come to an end, because of the expiration last week of the last remaining patent covering devices of which the inventors htd a ' legal monopoly. Hereafter any one can engage in the manufacture of those indispensable household arti cles, and as prices can no longer be maintained by combination between three or four great manufacturing companies, prices must come down largely and speedily. The expiration of those patents is a universal benefaction, and soon the retail prices of these articles will place them within the reach of all except the very poor. - The President is not shaken in his belief that hi3 Southern policy will eventuate in the complete success of the Republican party. In fact he takes the rosiest views of it, if his alleged declarations made to the proprietor of the Cleveland Leader be true. It is telegraphed from Washington, that Mr. Cowles of the Leader, in a late interview with the President told him that the dissatis faction among the Ohio Republicans at the Southern policy is so great as to probably result ic the State being lost to the Republicans, in October next, by the Republicans refusing to vote. The President t evinced no surprise at this, bnt said that although a temporary defeat might be encountered at the polls, in the end the party would be stronger than ever. The politics of the country are in a diseased condition, and re quire severe treatment to be made healthy again, not unlike the treat ment extended by surgeons to persons who have diseased limbs. The course taken by the surgeon is severe, but it is the only course left to save the life of the patient The President said he entertained no doubt of the success of his policy, which will destroy the color line in politics, and bring the best men in both parties to the front. He expect- ed the Republicans would certainly carry North Carolina and Tennessee at the next election, and already the Democratic party in South Carolina is showing signs of breaking op. .He expected that Hampton would pur sue each a conrse that two years hence the Republicans will be glad to nomi nate him as their candidate for Gov ernor. The President said be also believed that the Republicans would carry Louisiana at the next election, and that the Democratic party in that State would not be able to bold together. These he said wonld be the fruits of the Southern policy which just now is not acceptable to all Republicans." Of course the President has sources of knowledge which cannot be reach ed by others, and we hope that his roey views may be realized, but the way South Caroliua has stood by Cutler, the leader of the Hamburg massacre, the bam ilia lion of the mem bers of the Mackey Legislature were made to endure, by those who had stuck to Hampton from the start, the whipping of the colored preacher in Georgia, the election of a "con servative" U. S. Senator fa Louis iana, and the assassination of half a dozen Republicans in Mississippi, are not promising omens for the sue- , ess of Republicanism in tbe South, cor do they indicate much sympathy with the administration. Still, things mar Uke a tern after we are thoroughly defeated, but wo would much prefer the policy of holding : our owe while we have it, to tbe 9 oottly process -of wringing victory "Jrom defeat ' A "rojtcTLiATOEY" preacher, one lie. Walker Lewis, io delivering an oration at Macon, tia., on the Con federate Memorial 1T. thus ad ng J ila hearers: "Stand, then, to your principles, and gire the pres ent hjpocriiical Administration the tribute of Tour immeasurable loath ing. Its head. If not himself a thief, is knowingly the receiver of stolen goods, and neither previous worth nor subsequent conservatism can coo- done the injustice of his in famous inauguration, or cover the shameless degradation of wearing the stolen honors of another. Fake to his own party, false to tbe stopend ous villains that gagged States in his behalf, false to the black commission and its perjured Judge, all that he does with seeming decency is only tbe bid of a hypocrite for the treach ery of others." Dispatches from Salt Lake ex hibit a very threatening condition of affairs. Brigham Yonng is talking "blood;" the Nanvoo Legion are drilling in meetinghouses, barns, and corrals; the Gentiles are fleeing from the wrath to come ; and breech- loading rifles are reaching the saints in large quantities. Perhaps a little campaign against tbe gentlemen would not be unpopular. It might relieve tbe Administration of other matters, if we were to resurrect that plank of tbe first Republican platform concerning those "two relics of bar barism, slavery and polygamy." If we have a little cooled on the slavery we might make it op by going in strong on the polygamy. But in this connection we may remark that, with trouble brewing with Mexico, with a war with tbe Mormons on hand, and with revenue officers being murdered in the South, it may prove embarrassing that we are neither able to pay enr soldiers nor provide supplies for tbe army. If some frugal citizen should go to his Post Office next month and ask for a blank to Gil out an applica tion for a money order, and should be told that there were none, he may lay the blame on tbe Democratic House of the Forty-fourth Congress. It is necessary that blanks for postal orders, registered letters. Postmast ers' reports, Ac, should be printed. The Post Office Department asked for $135,000 to pay for this expense. The Honee at this time was run in the interest of "Tilden and Reform," so tnis modest estimate was cnt down to $105,000, the odd $30,000 going to swell the other cheese-parings of the seven-by-nine statesmen who then held sway in tbe House. Remonstrance was made in rain, and the money appropriated is nearly all nsed np before tbe fiscal year is out Tbe laws forbidding departments to incur liabilities outside of legal ap propriations are very strict Accord ingly, if the Post Offices must do without blanks, the frugal citizen must bear tbe inconvenience. . Tiie regular correspondent of tbe New York Times, now in tbe South ern States, fills a couple of interest ing columns, in Monday's issue, in showing tbe utter folly of the idea that tbe President's policy is going to result in any division of the Dem ocratic party in tbe Sooth. He de votes himself to tbe case of Georgia points out that the color question has long been buried there, that neither "carpet baggers" nor negroes have had any voice in that State for years, that the Democratic majority is some twenty thousand strong, and that there, if aoy where, the promised division could be expected. They do divide, he says, on local questions. tbe Hill and Gordon factions fighting each other sharply ; but on National issues, in hatred of tbe Republican party, in denunciation of tbe " fraud ulent President," tbey are as solid as ever, and will bo continue. He adds: And even while tbese matters are being disenssed, and "the new recon struction policy" debated, eleven ne groes were niarcned in cbains, through the streets of Athens, and sent to the Penitentiary kr terms of from two to twenty years, for, as tbe local paper puts it, "participating in tbe recent Oglethorpe difficulty." Tbe trouble referred to amounted to just tnis: A crowd or black men assembled to sympathize with one of their number who had been persua ded by a party of Democratic street loafers that he was being nojustly prevented from occupying tbe posi tion of Postmaster, to which as they stated, the President had appointed him. When tbe negroes had so as. aembled, as a matter of course, tbe whites b?an to fear for their lives tb' y always do on such occasions and a party of their yonng men sal lied raliantly forth to disperse "tbe rioters.' Tbe story is, though it has not been proved, that one of the ne groes fired a ahot-gna at tbe advan cing party, and wounded a white man. Alter wis, as usual, tne negroes ran away, and, again, as usual, tbe whites fired on them. Two are known to have been killed, several were wonnded, and subsequently a number of tbem were terribly beaten. "For participating in this dif ficulty" five negroes were sent to prison for ten years. And what be- caiM of tbe white participants? some inaooect reader may ask. I can only reply into tia words of the local chronicler ; "The tba&as o tbe entire community are doe to tbe brave geatietsea who thus nobly de fended their homes a&4 firesides." In this conooection he adds that the aforesaid "brave ceatlemen were mostly illicit wlUkf distillers. London, May 12. It is plain that the time of action on tbe Danube is close at hand. Tbe Russians evi dently intend to open fire on tbe Turkish positions along the whole line, and under cover of an over wfcelming artillery fire attempt to cross tbe rive at several points sim ultaneously. Ills believed the bat teries will cpen to-morrow .'; TBI BCW-TABK LCTTEB. New York, May 11, is:c. tue servant qcestios. Tbe question of servants ia what is now agitatiLg the mind of the New York matron. In the olden lime tl.e intelligent farm-house people of New England and the State of New York furnished "Liretl girla" for the city, but that is all gone. The factories, stores, telegraphy, book keeping, and kindred arts which are now almost the exclusive nroiterty of women, rives this class employ ment, and New York families have bad to depend upon foreign importa tion. The Irish girls have control of ew l ork bouses, and tbey nave es tablished a domination that is very severe. There are , not servants enough who understand their bus ness to fill tbe demand, and tne re sult is. tbe biddies are as exacting as tbey choose. : They insist npon from $15 to $25 per month, are very par ticular as to their rooms and tbe furniabicr thereof, tne demand a certain portion of their time oat, and also stipulate as to what rood tbey shall have ; and if their mistresses object to their adorning their persons with their best cloihes, there is cer tain to be a rumpus. In short, it is a question which is the real servant. line mistress or her maid. There is a rebellion against biddy. Enterpris ing parties have gone South aod picked up a thousand or more of col ored girls, who were bouse servants or in training before the war, aod have brought tbem to the city, and are placing tbem. They make excel lent servants, for they are not only intelligent, but docile. Tbey will do anything that is required of tbem and, as a rule, are honest Tbe biddies are enraged at this turn of affairs, and are abating their pretensions, now that competition in this as in other things has brought them to their senses. REAL ESTATE. A test was made of the real estate market last week. Certain lots of ground on Eighty-seventh Street, which cost five years ago, $90,000, and were considered cheap at that were put up at auction to determine what reduction in price and in rentals should be made. Tbe property brought $55,000 on the usual terms. As tbe sale was made in good faith the reduction is accepted by owners, and prices are established according ly. This is a terrible let down, bot owners are compelled to stand it. Rents have fallen more in proportion than prices. Stores on Broadway which rented formerly for $9,000 on ly command $2,000 or $3,000, and the hoped for rise in May was not ob tained. There are thousands of stores standing empty, and thousands upon thousands of houses. People who formerly occupied a whole house, now content themselves with a half, and in very many cases with even less room. A great many apartment houses have been built in which seven rooms can be bad for from $25 to $50 a month, and they are taken by the people who formerly paid $25, 000 or $30,000 for whole houses. Tbe depression in business bas done part of it and the permanent loss of trade to the city has done the rest. FAsnioxs. "Common as dolmans," is a saying about some features of dress which were new two months ago. Every biddy on the street has a dolman, and every cheap snit bas the back of tbe bodice in seven pieces, a style lit tle less than torture to an eye of any cultivation, but,happily, so overdone, that, its popularity promises not to live with the season. To see tbe back of a woman's dress cut into nar row strips is a painful work, waste of goods and a deformity, making the figure mean and stiff looking. Tbe best models in fine dress eschew this fashion, and tbe basques have almost tbe simplicity of tbe French form with bold side gores which Gt the fig ure with tbe ease and elegance of a glove without troublesome and disfig ured cross-seams or more than one dart Tbe best Breton habits are fit ted in ibis way. Fine imported toi lets show a notable simplicity of de sign, very different from tbe fashion plates common among us. Tbe Bre ton jacket, or tbe simplest fitting French jacket tbe same length all round aod jubt well covering tbe bips, buttoning diagonally, or the large Gcbo ruOied with lace are tbe favored wraps in these costumes. Overskirts are as close as possible, draped easi ly, or plain in thick goods, and tbe trimming is a mere piping fold, or a facing of silk three inches wide stitched twice on tbe inner edge a quarter inch apart for a Gnirb. There is an air about these easy, per fect garments which at once marks mem as tne attire ct a lady, among tbe overuraped, twisted and bedizened dresses called "the style." PRICES Of GOODS. "Before the war" is not the com parison for cheapness any longer. With bleached cottons down to 5 cents a yard, and silks of desirable grade at $1.50 a yard, there is little more to hope for in tbe way of cheap goods. With suits to order, such as a gentleman can wear, at $25, and ladies' wear to correspond, it is evi dent that tbe baleful influence of in flation is withdrawn, and if the Rus sian war does not hurry p-ices np, common people can get - me good out oi weir money again, silk suits are selling ready made for $22 : and i . long sua nouse-aresses in pnncease shape with flounces and drapery for ?izton. TFTE POST-OrFJCt CATASTROPHE. Can the Government get honest work? New York has a post-office said to ba tbe finest in world, which looks as substantial as tbe pyramids. But Tuesday the roof covering one large room in tbe East Bide, fell and buried five men in tbe ruins. It was supported by iron girders, filled in with cement and of course tbe poor fellows were killed inatantfy. And now tbe architects are fighting as to where tbe blame should rest An investigation shows that a rascally contractor put ia defective rirdera. which an equally rascally inspector passed, which rascality cost fire men their Uvea. It is tbe are of shoddy. and tbe Government gets more than its share of it LIFE-IUSCBAXCE. Tbe officers of the swindling "American Popular" have been in dieted, and there is a decent pros pect that some of tbem will wear tbe stripes at Sing-Sing. Thore are a dozen other companies which need just (borough an overhauling, and there are eorgh of the swind lers who ought to be in Singling to organise a , life-insurance brigade there. Tbis? scoundrels pnght to be porsued remorselessly, for they bring disrepute npon tbe really good com panies, and weaken public confidence. Tbe effect of these failures has been disastrous. The bubiness of life-insurance has come almost to a stand still, for witb tbe exception of a few companies whose strength , and hon esty ate beyond question, no ore, knows who amonjr them to trust I Tbe defunct "Popular" made a mag nificent show upon paper, but the ex pert commissioner showed that it was a fraud from beginning to end. Others will follow in a tew week?. business is getting better, every day. The merchants are doing better, tbe policy of President nayes has given back bone to the trading interests, for there is, finally, a certainty of some thing, whether hia policy bo right or wrong, it is a policy, and men know what to depend upon. The South, relieved from tbe uncertainties that have so long bung over it i pluck ing np courage, and preparing for business, and the effect is observable. Her merchants arc buying goods and paying for them, confident that they will find their account in the general revivat they hope for. The Russian -Turkish war has brightened matters, for the price of bread-stuffs has gone up, the farmers are paying their bills to the country retailer, and he," io turn, is coming here to make good his stock. In short, we all feel en couraged, and hope the good times we have hoped for so long are here at last ' PlETBO. Fatal Jf lue IMaActer. Pottsville, Pa., : May 9 The explosion of fire-damp at Wadesville shaft this morning, is still unexplain ed, but it is supposed ttere was a large fall of coal which forced a quantity of gas out of a breast that bad been idle tor some tune. Tbe gas ignited from tbe lamps cf tbe men, and caused tbe explosion. James Dorken, who had been resi ding in St Clair, was ingtantly killed by one of the flying timbers wbich were hurled around by the shock ; he leaves a wife and child. Winkirk, who was also a resident was killed ; he leaves a wife and tbree children. Thomas Connor, Joseph Mil bar, Her bert Moore and Berry Mosley were pinned in by a barricade of the fall ing coal. All the available miners were set to work to rescue the unfor tunate, but the mines were so filled with gas as to prevent rapid progress. Tbe four men, however, were reach ed at last, but when foond were dead. They were literally roasted, and their bodies presented a sicken ing sight Their clothing was burn ed from their bodies and their hair from their bead, and their flesh was hanging in shreds. Connor was a newly-married man ; Milbar was un married ; Mosley was married, but leaves no children ; Moore leaves a wife aod seven small children. Be sides those killed there was a num ber of others badly burned. John Reese. John Gleares, Patrick Gib bons, Dennis Breonan, John McCa toe and Abraham Jones being seri ously injured in that way. Tbese are mostly vouog unmarried men Tbe scene iu tbe vicinity of tbe mouth of the Ehaft after tbe explo sion beggars description. As tbe bodies came up women rushed for ward to see if their husband, broth ers or sons were among tbe killed or wounded. There was a large crowd of men, women and children at the mouth of tbe shaft, and wben an unfortunate relation appeared, the distress thereat was heart-rending. Tbe news of tbe explosion spread like wildfire, and tbe people immedi ately rnshed to the scene of tbe ca lamity. For some time it was im possible to learn anything definite. The wildest imaginable rumors pre vailed. Many persons believed there bad been another Avondale disaster, but happily it was not so bad. Tbe latest from the explosion is thai all tbe men, with the exception of Benjamin B. Mosley, havebeen re moved. Mosler Was burned beneath a large body of coal, and it will re quire several bonrs to bring him out. Some of tbe men who were burned are still alive and everything possible is being done to alleviate tbeir suf fering, but it is feared one of tbem will die during the night Men who are working in tbe mine a distance of over a mile from tbe part at which the explosion occurred, say tbe shock was great, and tbe current of air fol lowing the explosion blew them considerable distance. No material damage was done the mine, wbich is perated bv tbe Philadelphia and Reading coal company. II inter jr of bd Iafaraou Crime. Wii.kesbarrk, Pa May 8 The bigh Sheriff of Luzerne county, Wil liam P. Kirkendall, has just received tbe death warrant of Andrew Lena han, who is to be executed on Thurs day, June 21, between the hours of ten o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the afternoon. Tbe murder of which the prisoner was found guil ty is one or the most horrible in tbe record of cri.ne in this State. It oc curred on the afternoon of Septem ber J. IS (4, wben i.enaban invited Captain John Reiley, a well known Democratic politician, who was on bis way home from the Luzerne county Democratic convention, to seat in his buggy. Captain Keiley accepted Lenahan's invitation and took a seat in the vehi cle. bile they were riding along towaras Ashley, just below that city, jjenanan drew a large revolver and fired tbree shots at bis companion, killing Dim instantly. Lenaban's oorse oecame irigntenea by the re a. I a ports of the revolver and started off npon a run, tbe jar causiog Reiley's ooay io iu iorwara, tbe legs bang ing out over the side of the carriage body. As soon as Lenahan could obtain control of the animal he drove off at a furious rate, but while going over a canal onage be collided witb a heavy wagon, nis bugy was up set and Lenaban and Reiley's body were wrown out into tbe road, Lenaban picked himself up and ran away. Inree bullet marks were found npon Reiley's body, one over the left eye, one in the right side of the breast, just over tbe nipple, and the third and the last ball passed through tne leu arm. ihe murdered man waj very bighly lespecteJ, and his brutal murder caused the greatest ex- pitemen. mrougnout this section. ins most strenuous efforts made for Lenahan's arrest met witb no success until tbe latter part of October cf the followingyear, wben bo was arrested at La balle, 111., where he was work ing in tbe coal mines under tbe name of bis murdered victim, Reiley. He was committed to the conntv jail at this place , on November U 1875. He was indicted and tried at we neai ira oi tne uyer and ter miner, and found'goilty of murder in the first degree on December IT. At Jie last session of tbe Supreme .Court of lUli gtate his case came op on a writ of error, but tht body con firmed the judgment of the 'lower court ,euaban was a notoriously hard character, and bas traveled un der several aliases.' He will be hang ed in the rear of thejail yard. Sher iff Kirkendall will admit bot few persons to witness tbe execution. riSClSSATI LETTEB. To the Editor of the Somerset Herald: Believing that a letter f-oio tbe "Queen City" might be of interest to your readers, tne writer bas taken the liberty to drop yon a few lines in regard to the affairs ot tbia great commercial centre. ' Cincinnati ha earned the reputa tion of being one of the roost pros perous, best governed (?), and enter priding cities in the Unioo, and ber people are intelligent cultured, and refined to a degree not to be excelled by any of her sister cities. She bas engaged in numerous enterprises for the adVancement of the welfare of her citizens ; and in all her . under takings bas met witb a success bigbly flattering to ber efforts. TIIE SOUTHER RAILROAD. At the present lime tbe people oi this irood city are in a stats of great uneasiness concerning a matter of vital importance to ber commer cial interests. This is the problem of tte Southern Railroad. Tbia line of road, connecting this city witb Chattanooga, Teno., was firat project ed as early as 183C. A number of capitalists at that time, seeing the great advantages that would accrue to Cincinnati by this connection witb the vast producing region of tbe South, ob a ned a charter and began orgauiziog a cumpany for the pur pose of building and operating the road ; but tbe great financial pauic of 1S37 coming on, it was impossible to accomplish anvtbing in euch a period of buniocss depression and the scheme was abandoned. The build ing of tbe road, however, still con tinued to be a source of much specu lation and conjecture to tbe people of Cincinnati ; and tbe time was eager ly looked for when tbe line would be an established Uc It was not un til after the late war that matters took any definite shape and steps ta ken looking to a speedy accomplish ment of tbe loog desired object No capitalists seeming disposed to take up the matter, the city herself rame to tbe conclusion to execute this vast undertaking. Ten millions of dol lars were appropriated, contracts made, aod the work of constructing tbe Cincinnati Southern Railroad was at last iairiy unaer way. i n fortunatcly some parts of tbe line proved more difficult of construction than bad been anticipated ; and tbe original estimate of tbe cost was found to tall far short of the amount necessary for completion. This ne cessitated a call upon tbe city for $6,000,000 more, which was thought to be tbe lowest sum with wbich tbe work could ba finished. This demand met with considerable opposition from a numerous and influential clasn ot tax-payers, who did not relish tbe idea of piling on taxation at such a rate. Meetings were held, and the subject thoroughly discussed in all its bearings. Some favored selling tbe road, but ibis was impracticable. Others favored leasing tbe lne to a responsible company upon terms as advantageous to tbe city as possible ; but owing to tbe unfinished condition of tbe road this would be a very troublesome undertaking. ' Notwithstanding all the opposition, wben the question went to the vote tbe people decided by an overwhelm ing majority to have tie work push ed tor ward ; aud $6,000,000 addition al were sunk in tbe enterprise. Tbe supporters of tbe road now congratu lated themselves on the prospect of soon seeing tbe line in complete run ning order between this city and Chattanooga, its southern terminus. But in tnis belief tbey were doomed to disappointment ; for, after tbe expenditure of every dollar of the last appropriation, it was found that but a snort piece of the road from tbe city to Somerset, Ky., about 1C0 miles was ready for tbe rolliag stock. The outlook now was, thai it would take two or tbree millions of dollars more to complete and equip tbe line for operation. In this strait tbe trustees called a meeting of business men and others interested in tbe road, to devise some means of gettiog over tbe seeming insurmountable obstacles with which ibis enterprise was attended. After mature deliberation it was resolved that tbe best thing to be done under the circumstances, was to have company organized in this city for the purpose of operating tbe finished portion of the road. An agreement was drawn up, by which tbe city was to receive a certain percentage of tbe earnings of tbe line tbe rate not yet being specified and tbe les sees to be under tbe obligation of completing tbe unfinished portion of the road. This plan is evoking consid erable unfavorable comment, but books have been opened for subscrip tion to tbe capital stock which has been fixed $5,000,000 of tbe Cincin nati Southern Railroad Company, and so tbe matter rests. . BASE BALL- , Tbe base ball season bas iairiy be gun here, and Cincinnati boasts of a nine which is not only stronger than last year's team, wnicb made such an inglorious record, but gives prom ise of making a close struggle for the championship pennant This city bas always shown a willingness to liberally patronize a good club: and if the present niue should prove a strong oue, its manager may feel as surea oi its success noanciauy. I be opening jvas a contest between the Cincinnati and the Indianapolis nine, and came on several days ago, being attended bv from thrte to live thousand spectators. It resulted in a victory for the home club, wbich scored seven runs to tbeir opponents tbree. . Ibis auspicious commence ment augurs well for tbe future pros pects of the nine; and some very io teresting games are anticipated. NOTES. There ism process of prepartion io tbia city, a biographical work en tilled "Lives of Great Men of Ken- lucky," wbich is to be ready for pub lication by tbe 1st of June. It is said that the nnmber of "great men" whose deeds will be recorded iu this volume, will reach as high as 1800, wbich shows that there is a great deal of talent to be found in the "dark and bloody ground." . Tbe Hon. B. F. BrUtow refused to allow a sketch of his life to be published in this bock, probably fearing tbat some Injury might bo done to his future political prospects,' or from a feeling that tbe publishers were not capable of do:ug tbe subject justice. Tbe vauij Enquirer bas ceased its flow of personal abuse and calum ny directed against Halstead, of the Commercial, who fearlessly exposed and denounced the rascalities and oorrupt practices of the Enquirer establishment It retaliated by at tacking tbe personal character of the editor of tbe Commercial, and pub lished articles accusing him of numer ous aufoucded misdemeanors audot fenss, ana fbitfted a capacity for, and indulged ia' each a' tirade of slander and rituppratioa as has sef dom been witnessed ia any l sca lper conflict Mr. Halstead's irre- f proacbable character is too well known and his etanding too high, to be affected in tbe least degree by the rant and railing of a rival. TEMl'ERANCE MOVEMENT. The Murphyites who have betn so successful in the other portions of the Slate, in tbeir holy crusade in the cause of Temperance, have not, as yet ventured to attack this citadel of io. Tbeyare probly holding back u ml they have conquered all tbe smaller towns, and when this is done, tbey will rally tbeir scattered forces aod make a grand charge upon this strong-hold of intemperance. Their task hero will not ba calculated to inspire courage by any appearance of an easy conquest There is proba bly no otter city in tbe Union, in wbich the liquor traffic is ca-ried on so extensively, wholesale and retail, as in tbe city of Cincinnati. A large portion of tbe population is composed of Germans, among whom alcoholic stimulants are considered almost a necessity ; and tbe number of beer- saloons that flourish in tbe German quarter is astonishing to tbe uniniti ated. The advent of Murphy's fol lowers in this locality is awaited with considerable interest among all classes. "ClSCI.MXATfS." Harriblc 1'atastroptaa. Rockforp. I1L, May 11. Tbe in ner walls of the north side of the conn bouse fell in about noon to-day burying a number of workmen, sev eral of wbom are known to be killed, while others are injured and some are yet beneath the ruins. There is great excitement in th vicinity Chicago, May 11. Tbe Tribune special from Rockf -rd, Hi., says a pall has fallen over what was tbia morning a happy community. The Winnebago County court house, which this morning, wben our citi zens commenced tbeir day's labor, was the pride of their hearts is cow a desolate rum, a monument ot crimi nal incompetency. Tbe building was not yet under roof and tbe massive stone cornice which preceded tbe roof was beicg put on. Just as the keystone was being placed on the dome of the main pavillion the brick work between the iron and stone gave way and the entire and interior walls of tbe structure came crum bling down witb a terrible crash tbat was beard nearly a mile away. Tbe dome is 11 J feel from the ground and supported by the front wall on tbe north side and iron columns from ten to twelve inches in diameter on the iuner side. The columns rest up on a brick, wall going up from the ground floor to tbe floor of the court room. Tbe walls were about thirty feet higb, and it appears weie entire ly inadequa'o to bold the immense weight of tbe iron pillars and mas sive masonry of the dome wbich rest ed upon tbe pillars. Upon tbe top of the iron columns were wrought iron girders, upon which was laid the ve neer aud brick of the dome. It ap pears that tbe lower brick walls were crushed by the weight of tbe upper masonry aud crumbled like so much rotten matter, bnryiug with it the entire interior of the building, taking all the rafters, corrugated iron and ceiling of every room with its con crete filling. Tbe iron joists and scaffolding came down in a terrific mass, bringing with it nearly all the workmen who were operating on top of the building. At tbe lime of the accident there rere 20 to 25 at work. Timothy Flanigan, who was just pottiug iu the keystone of the final cornice, jumped for a guy rope of a big derrick in front but missing bis aim fell 120 feet to the earth and was dashed to pieces. At the time but few persons were upon tbe scene. The mass ot tbe human beings, with the exceotion of four or five who jumped from tbe windows, fell inside the tottering walls and were buried in tbe debris. Tbe whole of tbe large structure looked as though it would fall, and those assembled were appalled and knew not what to do to go near enough to tbe structure to rescue those mangled. Bui a few brave men went fearlessly to work and commenced to extricate the dead and dying.
