SECRETARY BOUTWELL.
His Probable Retirement from the Trens
nry.
The New York Poet has the following ob
servations :
The elevation of Senator Wilson, of Massa
chusctts, to the Vice Presidency creates a va
cancy in the. Senatorial representation of that
State which, it is scarcely premature to say,
is more likely to be tl fled by the present Secre
tary of the Treasury. than by any one else.
Should Mr. Boutwell be translated to this new
sphere of labor. he need only desire the same
measure of usefulness and success that has re
warded his career se a Oallinet minister. We
have had many occasions for criticising the de
tails of Mr. Boutwell's management, and yet
in several respects we have been disposed to
concede him the highest merit; as, for exam•
pie, his honest collection of the revenue and
his inflexible determination to reduce es rapid
ly as possible the national debt. Next to the
blind infatuation of the Democrats in mistak
ing-the notoriety of an eccentric journalist for
the popularity of which Presidents are made,
Mr. Boutwell's faithtulcollection of the public
revenues, and his rigorus appropriation of
them to the reduction of the national debt,cou
tributed more than all other influence combin -
ed to the re-election of President Grant. We
may add further that, humauiy speaking, the
most republicanizing influence that has been
felt by the Old World during the past hall
century has been the statements in which for
the four years of his administration, month
after month, Mr. Boutwell has been in the
habit of publishing to mankind the steady and
rapid reduction of our national indebtedness.
No species of calumny or misrepresentation,
however plausible in its form or august its
source, could resist the quiet eloquence and
inflexible logic of his periodical announce
ments of the Treasury balance. Republics
might continue to be stigmatized In the court
ly and diplomatic circles of Europe as the sum
of all political evils, but no one could pretend
that there ever was any government in this
world but a republican government that had
both the will and the ability to redice Its in
debtedness it such a rate. The credit otread
ing this lesson in financial administration to
the world is to be divided between the peo
nle_orho e u fully_thrnishefi. the money. the
Presidia; who has sustained him in it. To
which Velongs the larger share is an idle ques
tion—as idle as the inquiry whether we are
moot indebted to the sun for its heat, its light
or its attraction ; but it is quite safe to say
that any statesman in our country may well
envy the share, be It the larger or the smaller,
which justly belongs to Mr. Boutwell.
In quitting the Treasury, the Secretary will
fortunately be transferred to a sphere of per.
haps greater usefulness, for, besides being a
statesman of very considerable legislative and
administrative experience, Mr. Boutwell Is al

THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH
One of the Ounlnfest Mecting•lloumeN In
America:
One of the prominent structures is the burn
ed district that escaped destruction, Is the Old
South Church ;,which is thus described :
Apart from the homes of its worshippers
and surrounded by Massive blocks devoted to
trade and manufacture still stands ono of the
qualntest meeting.houses in America, the Old
South Church. The Old South Society was
the third Congregational Society in Boston,
and was organized in 1069, in consequence of
a curious theological quarrel In the First
Church, The First Church building of this
society, erected in 1609, stood for sixty years.
It was of 'cedar, and it bad a steeple and gal
leries, with the pulpit on the north side. It
was taken down in 1729, when the present
building was erected on the same spot and re
ligious services were held in for the first time
on the 20th of April 1730 (0. S.) This meet
house le, perhaps, the most noted church eili
flee in the United States. It is internally very
quaint and Interesting. Its sounding-board
over the pulpit, its high, square box pews, its
double tier of galleries, in fact Its whole ap
pearance, attract the visitor's attention, and
lead him to inquire into its history if he does
not already know it. But a tablet high above
the entrance on the Washington street she of
the tower gives concisely the main facts. The
Old South is frequently mentioned on tile
pages devoted to the history of Boston before
and during the Revolution. W hen the meet
ings of citizens became too largo to be accom
modated in Fanenil Hall, then much smaller
than now, they adjourned to this church Jo
seph Warren stood and delivered his fearless
oration on the anniversary of the massacre of
March 0, 1770, in defiance of the threats of
those In authority, and in the presence of sol
diery. Here were held the series of meetings
that culminated in the destruction of the de•
tested tea. In 1775 the British soldiers, eager
to insult those by whom they were so cordi
ally hated, hot whom they held so completely
In their power, occupied this meeting house
as a riding school and place for cavalry drill.
They established a grog-shop In the lower gal
lery which they partially preserved for spec
tators of their sport, The rest of the galleries
were torn down, and the whole interior was
stripped of its wood work. The moor they
covered with about two feet of dirt. At this
time the church was without a pastor, and no
new pastor ordained until 1779.
In 1782 the the building was thoroughly re.
paired and put in very much its present con.
dltion. The first election sermon was deliv
ered itLthe Old South Church in 1812, and the
ancient custom is still observed. As soon as
the two branches of the Legislature had met
and organized, the Governor was Informed
that the General Court "was ready to attend
divine service." The procession was formed
and the State Government marched to this his
toric building to hear a sermon by a preachei
designated by the preceding legislature. The
memories of two centuries consecrated this
place of worship, and it is not strange that it
remained' so long a barrier to the march or
business, although Its worshippers have crept
farther away, year by year, and found homes
at a distance from Its time honored walls. Al
though encempassed with flames, It has
strangely escaped the recent conflagration.

A MURDEROUS HUSBAND
Fatal Episode in a Divorce Suit
An Alleged Seducer She! Dared in Pine Street by
a Jentoose llethana—The Wife , a Story of Neglect
—An Angry Mob in the Street.
From the X. Y. Trlbeue, 13th.
- A tragedy, growing out of a divorce suit,
and resulting in the death of one of the actors,
was enacted, yesterday, at No. 42 Pine street.
James C. King, formerly a banker and broker
at Exchange place and Broadway, and more
recently a law partner of . Edwin James, was
lately sued by his wife, Anna T.,for a bill of
separation. Mrs. King alleges hat her hue
band has treated her, for ti long time past, lo
a very brutal manner. He has b %ten her w ith
out provocation, thrown articles' at her while
seated at table, and In other 'ways maltreated
and abused her. On one nccasion, in the pres
ence of a number of persons, he throw a cup
of tea in her face. The wife claims that her
husband has been can3elesely jealous of her,
and this morbid feeling has involved serious
consequences on several =items, owing to
his violent temper and abusive manner. Sev.
oral years ago, as she alleges, he quarreled
with a man in California, and subsequently ho
shot a man in the Sandwich Islet*. Mre.
King left her husband on one or more neon
slops on account of his 111-treatment, buton hie
promising to do better returned to him, only
to experience the same harsh treatment as be
fore.
011.1DIA OF DIVORCE PROCEEDINOS.
Last Summer Mr. and Mrs. King anti that's. ,
family of three children occupied a cottage
near Turner's Station, in Orange county, on
the lino of the Erie Railway. Among their
visitors were Anthony O'Neil, Freight Agent
of the Erie Railway in the office at the foot of
West Twenty-third street, and his wife. The
families were very intimate. Mr. and Mrs.
O'Neill boarded near by, and the gentlemen
°gen went hunting and fishing together. Many
pleasant evenings were passed at the residence
of Mr. King. It Is alleged by hint that in time
O'Neil and Mrs. King became unduly Inti
mate, and that he at length became convinced
that.they had criminal intercourse. King be.
gan a suit against O'Neil for aduliery with
Mrs. King, and O'Neil was arrested by the
Sheriff of Orange county, and was held to bail
in $lO,OOO to await a trial. King also began
a suit for divorce from hie wife before Judge
Barrett of the Supreme Court in thl. city.
Mrs. Kittig also instituted proceedings against
her husband on the ground of cruel treatment.
• Previous to the beginning of these suits,
however, Mrs. King left thehouse of her hus
band in July, while he was assent on a shoot
ing excursion. She took the children with '
her, and, coming to this city, stayed with
friends. The case was referred to ex Judge
Sutherland; and pending his decision on the
testimony the children were intrusted to the
father.
An examication was hold yesterday before
the referee, in his office, No. 42 Pine street.
There were present, beside the referee, King,
O'Neill and his wife, Mrs. Foulk, who had
also visited the Kings at Turner's Station,and,
it is alleged, had witnessed the ill-usage coin.
plained of by Mrs. King, F. M. Adams and
W. F. Bonynge, stenographers, and Joseph'
Long, an office boy. The testimony id O'Neill,
iii 6 wife,. and Mrs Foulk was taken, and is
said to have been very strong against King,
many instances of his cruelty towards Mrs.
King being given. Mrs. King was not pres
cut, being represented by her counsel, James
pifD pignac. King had no counsel. He was
mit during the entire examination, and
se .med cool and self. possessed. There was
nothing in his demeanor to indicate that he
meditated the shooting of O'Neill. The testi
mony having been given, the referee an
nouuced that he would adjourn the further
hearing until next week.
THE FATAL MOMENT
Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill and Mrs. Foulk left
the office together, and had reached the foot
of the stairs leading to the third floor, O'Neill
being behind the;women, when they were
startled by the sound of a pistol•shot fired
from the floor above. The ball passed through
the rim of O'Neill's hat. He turned and saw
King at the head of the stabs, still pointing a
pistol at him. Before he could make an effort
to escape a second shot was fired. The ball
Dossed' through the lappel of his coat, his vest

ribs, penetrated the right lung,and continuing
downward lodged Id one of the Internal nj
gans. A third shot was fired by King, but
missed O'Neill, lodgi in the wail ashen die

firing, and ran out,,Hr. Adams and the boy
Long In time to see the third shot fired.
O'Neil staggered into the office of Tennis D.
Quick, a broker, and sinking into a chair ex
claimed. "I am shot I"
No attempt was made to seize King, who
turned, walked Into cx Judge Boutherland's
office, laid the pistol on a table in front of
that gentleman, and then running into an In
ner office bolted the door. The alarm had
meanwhile been given,and Patrolman Gibney
who wee on duty in the vicinity, ran into tho
building. He was Informed of the hiding
place of King, and, proceeding thither, de
manded admittance. No response was given.
and the officer (a powerful man) threw him•
self against the door, and In a short time
nearly burst it from its hinges. Before this
was fairly accomplished,,,Kiug unbolted the
door and surreLdered himself.
AN ANORYIoWD
An immense throng had gathered in free
01 the bulidiug, and there were loud cries o.
"Lynch the murderer." Roundsman Gilbert
Came to the ses.istance of his comrade, and
and taking charge of the prisoner started
with him to the New st. Police Station, tell
ing Officer Gilbert to remain and collect the
evidence bearing upon the case. When Rounds
man Gilbert ranched the street with his pHs
oiler, the crowd set up a loud Bhout,and there
were 'many threats loudly uttered of hanging
the prisoner to a lamp-post. The determined
bearing of the roundsman, and an occasional
sweep of his club kept the crowd at a distance.
.King, who still retained his Beft-possession :n
a wonderful degree, asked Roundsman Gilbert
to preserve him from the fury of the mob. He
w.a assured that he would suffer no harm if
he made no effort to escape. Passing down
William st. to Wall,along Wall to Broad, and
down the latter street to No. 48, the officer
eluded the crowd by entering a building and
passing through It to New-st., where there

lodged hie prisoner safely In thest alum house.
Few persons were admitted within the sta
tion house, and these comprised the witnesses
and a few members of the press who had heard
of the tragedy. The prisoner answered the
questions put to him by Capt. Van Dusen re
garding hie name and age, but quietly and
courteously refused to say anything about the
ehroting, alleging that he wished to Bee his
counsel before saying anything that might be
construed as eliminating himself. He was
locked up In a cell. He was visited soon after
ward by Inspector Walling. but was fully as
reticent as before. Boon after his inearcera
Lion he sent a note to A. J. Vanderpool, re

Police Station. Police Surgeon Dalrymple
made a Buperftclal examination of the body.
He probed the wound, and found that the ball

Marriage of Henry Bochefort
Paris (Nov. 7) Correspondence of the London (robe
Few romances of fiction have Imagined for
their climax an incident so pathetic as the mar
riage of Henri Rochefort, with all the circum
stances which, In fact, surrounded it yester
day. Several years ago, when the man now
condemned to detention for life was the young
Comte de Rochefort Lucay,he wooed and won
Marie Anastaele Renauld, the daughter of an
employe in the Ministry of Finance. They
were at the time almost boy and giri—ehe, I
think, 20, and she 16—and did not find it ne
cessary to consecrate their affection by any
other ceremony than those vows of constancy
which usually prove of transient force. It was
not so, however, in this case. By successive
stages the Comte do Rochefort let himself be
carried away by his virulent wit and the eager
desire for notoriety until he became famous for
satires which were certainly out of all Keeping
with an ancient title, and he wisely dropped
his rank. It is poor work attacking a fallen
man, and I will not inquire now whether some
of his extravagant articles, which, however
meant, could but fall like oil upon the fire of
fiercer men's passions, were not equally un
worthy of the plain citizen Henri Rochefort
claimed to be. The natural result of such a
career has been at one time exile, at another
implication in the horrors committed by these
who were or had been his followers, and •
finally the condition of a prisoner for the rest
of his life. During all his change/of fortune
except the last, M.dils. Renauld hail remained
with him. At Brussels, when he was in ex
ile, at Paris during the siege, they were
together, and they have only been parted late
ly, owing to her illness. Thiess at present

calmly without remedying for her children,
as French law enables her to do, the mistake
made years ago. There were difficulties in
the way. She could not be moved, from her
bed, and her lover had ceased to have the
right, or at lcaste the power, to control his
own actions. However, these obstacles have
been overcome, and the prisoner waS permit
ted,yesterday, to come, strongly guarded at
every step, to make the dying woman in the
Conveea of the Augustines, of Versailles, at
last, his wife. By this the children, a daugh
ter and two eons, become legitimate. No
wonder that people have talked of little else
the last two days. Curiosity was natually ex
cited to know each detail of this strange con
clue on to a singular story : but the matter
was so well and quietly managed that eery
few inquisitive spectators could get in, where
their presence would havo,been most unaccep
table. Rochefort had been brought to the
Matson d' Arret of Versailles on Monday
night, and thence his marriage procession
started yesterday morning. It consisted of
one large hired carriage conveying the bride
groom and three police agents (dressed in
plain clothes) ; it left the prison et a
very early hour, and had had far escort . a
very strong guard of gardiens de la pair, who
also surrounded in force the Maison de Sante
attached to the Convent of the Augustines.
Here, on the second story, was No. ll—a little
nom, opening, as all such do in places of con
finement, item a great public corridor, and in
this lay the bride. As the poor paralyzed
woman could not, of course be moved to the
metric or to the church for either the civil or
religious ceremony, M. Rameau, the moire,
bad come to her bedside. The marriage in
strument was read by him, while M. Roche
fort stood by the bride, holding her hand. It
was then signed by both, though the effort
drew from her a cry of filtin, and witnessed
by Frauceis Victor Ingo, Ernest Blum, Jean
Destrien, ant the eloquent barrister Albert
Jolt'. 'f his was sufficient 'co give legal validity
to the marriage and status to the children ;
but Billie, Renauld (as the Rappel slates half
apologetically) had boggled for a religious
ceremony also, and Rochefort could not re
fuse a request which w 111 be probably her last.
The blessing of the Church was, therelore, be.
stowed on the pair by the Abbe Follet, chap
lain of prisons. After this M. and Madame
Rochefort were released from surveillance for
a short half-hour and left absolutely. At the

Oorrerpondence Springfield Republican
On the opposite side of the Bosphorus, in
Scutari, a city of about 200,000 inhabitants, is
enacted once a week ono of the most peculiar
and interesting sights of the East. The room
where the dervishes howled was about 40 feet
square, with a loft on one aide for visitors.
As we entered wo exchanged our shoes for .
slippers, which were all front—the heel end
being omitted. By a skillful management of
our feet, we succeeded in dragging them up,
the stairs leading to the gallery. There were
no chairs to sit on, but their place was sup
plied by sheepskins, with hair and fleece both
left on ; but such accommodations the travel
er in the East meet become accustomed to.
In ono corner were plied up the mattresses on
which the dervishes sleep, with a small pulpit.,
keeping guard at their side. While the. der
vishea were quietly enjoying their narghiles
or water-pipes in the porch, one of the assis
tants came in to prepare the floor for the "sec
vied." After spreading sheepskins over the
floor, he put on ono of the hats belonging to
the dervishes, and mounted the pulpit. These
hate, by. the way, are a peculiar institution:
Thes are made of felt. about an inch thick,
and ttrii shaped like a flower-pot, about eight
inehetsingh. The young neophlte, after adorn
ing Weisel( to his satisfaction, commenced mi
micking the exercises which were about to
follow- He was suddenly interrupted, how-
ever, by the entrance of the dervishes, abut
80 in number, who took their stations facing
toward Mecca.
They commenced their prayers, silently at
first, bowing and touching the flier with their
foreheads at intervals. Suddenly they com
menced singing in concert as loud as they
could yell, going through the same motions as
before, ending by repeating in concert a hun
dred appellations of the Deity. Next came
the howl•proper. A row was formed of about
fitl persons, including some soldiers and com
mon people who were allowed the privilege
of sharing In the fearful excitement which the
subsequent exorcises produced. While half a
dozen dervishes wore singing the great hymn
In honor of the prophet, the chorus repeated
In concert la f-fah-sl-ioth-lah, which is said to
be their profession of faith. They commenced
slowly at first, bending the bodies now for
ward, then sideways,then backward with each .
syllable. As the time quickens, they bend
faster and faster, running the syllables togeth
er until only the wild, hoarse howl of id.lsh is
heard. Faster and faster they bend and hoarser
grow the howls. Although - a cold day, the
perspiration pours down their faces, while the
attendants remove all their outer clothing and
Put little white caps on their heads. As the
sheik begins to stamp, nothing can be heard
at each inclination but deep, aspirated grunts,
something like those of a startled pig. It was
actually painful to watch their laces, such
ghastly countenances, such frenzied looks in
their eyes, though one fat (Whey prese,nted
even a comical appearance by hie frantic at
tempts to keep up with the rest.
Suddenly all stop at the word of the sheik.
Cloaks aro thrown over the exhausted wor
shippers, reeking with perspiration. One of
them was too far gone to have any control of
himself, and kept bending back and forth un
til his head was held by a companion. Some.
Urns a they run knives through the fleshy parts
of their bodies In the height of the orgies.
The atmosphere of the room was almost un
endurable, but for the sake of Keine the sight
through we waited a little longer. A. bottle
of water was next passed around, and all,
commencing with the sheik or chief dervish,
breathed into it. It was then quickly corked
up, and thereafter used as a specific for all the
ills to which flesh Is heir. Once more the
singing commences, the bowlers bend and -
and howl. though lees energetically than be
fore, garments are thrown off, and the last and
in some respects, most interesting scene takes
place. The sheik Is a worker of miracles.
After embracing an] kissing his followers, lie
attends to the healing of the sick. A baby
about a year and a half old is brought to him,
After looking intently at the child a moment,
he gave it to an attendant, who stretched the
pale little thing face downward upon the floor.
To our horror the great lubber of a sheik stood
for some time with his whole weight on the
sick baby, first on its shoulders then on its
lolls to us was, that the infant did not utter a
sound, nor did any of the other babies and
small children who were afterward treated in
the same way. Next a number of site of
more advanced years wore stretched out, side
by side, and the sheik walked back and forth
upon them, ending by breathing over them
with his holy breath, which, after the preced
ing exercises, was believed to have remarka
ble healing properties. By working upon the
Imagination they have made some wonderful .
cures, especially et nervous diseases. Some
Englishmen even, while of course not believ
ing fa their possessing any miradlous power,
have been successfully treated by them.
By this time we were glad to drag our slip
pers down the stairs once more and ride away.
We had seen a new and certainly very ener
getic form of worship, and one of the lions of
the place ; but an hour and a half's sitting on
the floor, and the odors of the place, and the
disgusting character of the exercises, were
enough to make us glad to regain the ere Ared,
narrow streets of an oriental city.

Seeing Ourselves as Others See Us•
The'English Journals, in their comments on
the recent Presidential election In this coun
try, express durprise at the fact that there was..
no fighting at the polls. The New York cm.=
re spondent of the London News, who must be.
one of the newly Imported, announces, with
open.mouthed astonishment, that on that day
" ladies were promenading , ' just as on any
other day. ' Ile appears to have thought that
the pretty talk of the campaign was but a pre
lude to a general sortie on election day,. and
was correspondingly disappointed at the non
appearance of sword and pistols and double
barreled shot guns and other weapons of of
fence and defence. The young man did make
one discovery, however. Be says, " I was
reminded throughout of the Derby day. The
chief Interest seemed to be among the betting
men.and the candidates were quoted as horses
are quoted at Tattersalt's." It is easy to per
ceive,where and In what company this foreign
.
scribe
LondonePas Times, dtheday. in its article on the
eleettqa, says that " President Grant has won
his second innings." This a terse and graphic
description, at least, and deserves to be quota
as a- specimen of vigorous Anglo.
Baron. We suppose the Times would speak
of Louis Napoleon as being " °Gt on a foul."
We could complain of such talk with more
reason, however, if wo should conduct our
political campaigns with more decency. A
modicum of good manners for example,,and
a little less zeal in "nailing lies," would be
like the spice to the puddling, and in time wo
might become strong enough to add t. mild
graVy of personal respect and kindness. But
wold become of the " independent
journalists" then t— gaining Post.
