Atwell, from St. Louis, was arrested in this city, charged with col lecting money for the firm of Noland A McCaffey, and appropriating the same to his own use, to the amount of $3,600 or $8,700. Mayor Sawyer committed Atwell for further hearing, on a charge of larceny. Before, however, he was placed in custody of the jailor, a writ of habeas corpus was issued and served upon the Mayor. ThU brought the case before Judge Stowe, who, on Saturday, rendered his decision in an opinion of some length. We copy the concluding paragraphs : “However an xious oourts may, and should be, to see that criminals go not “unwhipt of jus tice,’’ it is moat obvious that every princi ple of personal liberty would be jeapor dized by the recognition of such rules of law as would justify us in holding the prisoner in custody under tne facts ap pearing in this case. While we should al ways seek, by a firm and earnest enforce ment of the law, to protect the public, so far as we maybe able, from-wicked and dangerous men, it is at least os much oar duty to see that the libeny of every man remains inviolate and unabridged, except by due proce s and in strict conformity to law. The evidence and information taken together come so very far short of what we deem absolutely necessary to enable ns to hold the relator, that it is our plain duty to discharge him from custody. “In deciding as we do in this case, we must not be understood as saying that be cause the information or accompanying' affidavits may be insufficient to justify the magistrate in finally committing or even holding a party for further hearing upon a criminal charge, we will, therefore, in all cases, forthwith discharge the prisoner from custody. On the contrary, we will always hold ourselves ip readiness, when' ever the ends of public justice would seem to require it, to continue the cause for such reasonable time as appears necessa ry, in order to give the parties interested an opportunity to produce such evidence as they .might be able to obtain going to prove that the prisoner ought to be held to await the action of the executive offi cers of the State whence he may have fled. In this we will be able to protect the citzen by restraining any abuse of legal process by inferior tribunals, in making arrests without sufficient cause shown, and at the same time do substantia! justice to the pub'ic. Let James Atwell, the relator be discharged from custody/’ J. RODMAN HICKS. CHaB. 0. SWOPE. Extending the Arsenals.— The Bos ton Herald Bays that the Government is considering a project to extend the area of the Watertown Arsenal, now one of the most important Government works in the country, so as to include a foundry for the casting of cannon, <fec. VVithin the past few months, carriages for field pieces, made altogether ol iron, have been mann factored at the arsenal. We should, how ever, hardly think Watertown, Mass., the best practicable site for a National foun dry. It is too remote from the sources which supply the materials principally used in the casting of guns and other'like articles. If economy is at all Btudied in the location of a private or public fouD dry, that situation would be chosen which is nearest to the mines from which the es tablishment is to be fed with coal and iron. In this view of the matter, Penn sylvania is the State in which a Govern ment foundry should be placed, and Pitts burgh the most suitable place in the Btate for a great National foundry. Information Wanted.— We are daily expecting to receive ten dollars in money, and we have not yet been able to make np our mind what to do with it. We want wood, coal, groceries,provisions, and other articles of household consumption, bat long before we could secure all these onr parse wonld be drained. Then we are in arrears to onr paper man, onr landlord and a few old accounts, bnt $lO will not see us through with the half of them, bo we can’t think of beginning with these ac counts, Will some of onr older brethren inform ub what to do in the case.— Tyrone Herald.

Gen, Hays.—Hev. S. Steele, chaplain in the Array ot the Potomac, writing to the Christian Advocate from Brandy Sta tion, Va., under date of Nov. 26 h, 1888, pays the following tribute to the gallant Gen. Alex. Hays, of this city: ‘‘Brig. Gen. Hays, the commander of onr division, and formerly Col of the 69th Pa. V. I , from near Pittsburgh, is eminently worthy of a high place among our generals. He is as courageous and bold as a lion ; indeed, we think his boldness in some particulars amounts to rashness. When on picket on the Rapidan he was in the habit of riding along the pioket line, exposed to the fire of the enemy’s pickets; Dut he passed through onr campaign there unscathed. Should Resiqk.—There are certain Captains in the volunteer service who have not seen their commands for many months, leaving the Lieutenants to perform their duties. We know a yonng and deserving Lieutenant from this city who for a year past has commanded a company, whilst his superior officer remained qnietly at heme. Such military drones should re r tu, and let those who do the work and iace the foe, receive both the honors and emoluments to whi: h they are justly enti -11. d. Lebtcse at South Common. —The Rev.

A double walled room with the interstices filled with sawdust or spent tan hark built in one corner of an out-honse, provided with drainage and ventilation, are all the essentials. Let Others Follow the Example.— Ihe C.liDton Democrat says : One of onr most prominent members of the bar said to ns the other day that he thought seri ously of shutting np shop and going to wood-sawing. He is confident that he coaid make more money at the latter busi ness. . Cojubg.—The Holman English Opera Troope will.vißit Pittbnrgh shortly. This company enjoys a wide reputation.

PETTEKGILL a CO., t ifeiMli of A vfrew w clfMter. * On oßtdrdsy rue ruing D 1> Bruce, esq., announced the death ot Andrew McMas* ter, esq., io an eloquent and touching manner. He was followed by Judge Wil liams in a brief eulogy on the character of the deceased. A meeting of tbe Bar was held the same day, presided over by Judge Stowe, at which the following resolutions were passed: Rttolved, That we have neard with deep regret of t*e death of our professional fcrether, Andrew MoM aster, esq. • That we shall long and fondly oher lsh the menory of bis unobtrusive worth, his gen* la) deportment, and his s’riot integrity, as afford ing a happy mode! worthy of our imitation and regard. • Ruolvtd, That we respectfully tender to his bereaved family the ussuranoee of the siuoere fondolenoe and sympathy of the Bar in this the sad hour ot their berevement and affliction. JUtolvd, That the officers of this meeting wait upon toe family of the deceased, and famish them a oopy of these reso’uti >fts, and that we shall attend in a body the funeral of our late brother. That the Judges of the several Courts of the oounty be requested to order these pro ceedings to be spread upon the minutes of the Courts. The Exbmptiok Question.—For the benefit of those who may draw a prise in the forthcoming draft, and fail to obtain exemption on the ground of physical disa bility or other causes, we wifi state that it js made the duty of the surgeon to exam- ine every conscript who may report for duty, bat an order from the provost mar* shal general grants to every one the right to commute after having failed to procure exemption by other means. The follow ing is a copy of the order filed with con scripting provost marshals on that sub ject . “A person drafted into the military service of the United States, under the provisions of the act of March 8, 1868, chapter 75, for enrolling and calling oat the national forces, and for other purpo- Bes, claitiling exemption from draft by reason of any disability as provided in Baid act, has tbe right to have the ques tion of his disability enbmitted to and passed upon by the board of enrollment, whose decision thereon is final. If the board shall have decided that the claim ant is liable to serve, he has tbe right after such decision against him to pay his commutation money, or furnish a substi tute, within such extended time as maybe fixed by order of the board of enrollment for his appearance for duty. Colonels Creighton and Crane.— The city of Cleveland is in mourning for two of her brave sous who fell in defence of their country’s right upon the battle field of Ringgold. Colonels Creighton and Crane belonged to the unconquerable and heroic seventh Ohio—a regiment which Rt Croßs Lanes, Winchester, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Dumfries, Antietam and Ringgold, reflected imperishable glory on the State of Ohio, and tbe American arms. A large meeting of the citizens of land was held on Wednesday evening to make arrangements for the reception and burial of the remains of the deceased. At this meeting a commifee was appointed to collect the necessary (node to place the families of those fallen heroes beyond ftie reach of want. The Plaindealer says that the necessary funds can be raised in half an hour on Superior street alone. This speaks well for Clevelanders. Colonel Creighton was a active of Pittsburgh, and our citizens, in Cuiimct wuhdhose of Lis adopted city, deej ,y regie' the losss of to brave a soldier. Ihe Rattioan Cask.— On Saturday the Coroner resumed his investigations into the causes which led to the death of the late Thomas Rattigan. A number of wit nesses were examiued, none of whom, however, with one exception, threw any light on the matter. Jos. Cupples testi fied that about twelve o’clock on the night Mr. Rattigan was so badly beaten he saw aman standing near Lanna.lan’sExcbange on Penn street, n ar the canal, who had been horribly abused, and who told him it, was done in the alley. Cupples was about tc start with him to a doctors, when a man in his shirt pleevt-s came out of Lannahau s who sei---"- j f o know the in* jnred man, and he It-'- them together. The witness did nc: knew the injured man, and coaid net say that it was Ratti gan. The inquest will meet on Friday next when certain paiiies whoare suppos ed to know somethii g about the affair will De examined. Facts Fob the People. —Eiubroiddring machines are Lot toe ib'ug for family sew ing. Read the following : One prominent defect of the doable thread loop stitch is the waste of thread in forming it. Each yard of seam requires on au average 7£ yards of thread, or twice and one-half the amoant required by the "lock stitch, ’ An estimate may be easily mad 1 of the comparative expense of using the two. In the rkirt manufac tory of Messrs. Douglas*; & Sherwood, a day s work of ten hours for one person is estimated at 1 000 yards of straight seam, ten stitches to the inch, with the lock stitch machines, which they use; this length » f seam requires three thousand yards of cotton thread, and with the dou ble ibread chain orkniuing stitch machine, 7.600 yards would be requ red- The cost ol 8,000 yard 6 of cotton thread would be $1,85 hi wholesale, arid the cost of 7,606 yards wouic be $3 10, making a difference of $1,85 a day in this item aione, or more than $6,000 a year ; with costlier thread or B:' ’ k (at present prices at $ll per pound,) be difference would greater. In ahirt and collar manufacture, where the stitch ia finer, and less length of seam is sewed, the difference per day is only about lb ceDts in lavor of the lock stitch ma chine Io a manufactory like that of Winchester <k Davies, where one hundred and sixty of these machines are used, the saving is $1,20 per day. The result is that, the chain or knitting-stitch is not on this work.

Washington, Dec. 6.—The President’s message according to present aspect will not be sent to Congress until Tuesday. There is much conversation relative to the oourse of the clerk of the House of Repre senlatives in making np the roll of the memb ra. The law to regulate the duties of the clerk in preparing for the organize Hon of the House, passed- on the 8d of March last, provides that before the first next mbetiDg of Congress, and of every subsequent Congress, the clerk ot the next preceding House of Representatives shall make a roll of the Representatives elect, and place thereon the names of all persons and of such person! only whose credentials show that they were regularly efected in accordance with the laws of their Btates respectively, or of the United States. Ou inquiry to day, it is ascertain ed that no credentials have been filed from Minnesota Kansas or California. Up ttc this other States have filed and all are correct except West Virginia, Ore gan, Vermont, Missouri and Virginia. Last Friday the clerk sent a telegram to the Secretary of the State of West Virgin ia, to be here by Monday to correct the returns from that State. He will doubt less arrive in time. On the same day he also Bant dispatches to Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut, the laet two of which have already filed corrected cre dentials Ihe Union and Republican membersof the H-.-use ol Representatives held a can cus tit the Capitol to-night.

One of the most interesting-Reports ever issued by a Secretary of the Navy, is now preparing by Mr. Welles. As already coated, the estimate for all branches of the uavul and marine corps, will not exceed $142,000 000. The item that increases the estimate 10 this figure, is expenses for the construction and purchase of an im mense fk -t which is now being built, and will omy cost the Government an anuual LBHint'M.a'tce and repairs. The Report will suggest many improve- the management of naval matters. Secretary Wells will devote some space to the discussion of iron clads, and it is said the reason for the failure or the attack on Charleston is ns harbor obstructions are too great to be overcome by vessels. Mr. Webs wilt be able to count 660 or 700 vessels as the property of the Navy De partment. There is no doubt that Sohuyler Colfax will be Speaker of the House in the BSth Congress. Should a ballot be taken at the caucus called to morrow evening, his majority will be very decisive. It is gen erally understood that the caucus will post pone nominations fur other officers till Monday evening. But this may possibly not be the case. The opposition candidate tor Speaker will bo without doubt, Cox. It being ascertained that Ohio decidedly prefers him to Pendleton. Tne estimates for the Interior Depart men, -oul up $8,060,000. Of this amouLt the Pension Office tbit mates will about $4,tK)0,000 ai d General Land Office about $600,0C0. The Indian Bureau figures are aiao cut dowu considerably. The Ctusus Office does not care for any appropriation. The Patent Office has a balance of nearly $3,800 on hands. The Agricultural De partment asks for an appropriation of $150,000. Capitol Extension and Acqae duct Enimatee go to complete the grand total. New York, Dec. 6.— Brig. Gen. Hayß has received orders to raise five colored regiments. The Washington correspon dent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes as follows: There is a rumor in circula tion that Gen; Roseorans has been assign ed to the command of the Army of the Potomac, but there is no troth in it as far as we know at this time. ■ TEijEjSfE APIU/ TO THE DAHT POST.

Fortu nately two tows were near by and imme diately went to the rescue of the passen gers. All uninjured was taken off and it is believed that all cot instantly, killed were saved. Baggage roaster Wilson Ded erics must have been blown to atoms, as I he was in the baggage room between the I two boilers. Two firemen, Christopher I omuh aDd Richard Larnan must have I beeu instantly killed, as their bodies were seen in the boiler room and could not be reached on account of the flames. I The head waiter informs us that he saw I three bodies of men believed to be deck I ■passengers lying in the gang-way,bnt they I could not be rescued owing to the rapid I spread of the flame. A man named Thom-1 as Bwedin died after reaching Yonkers. I General Wells, of Rochester, was scalded I m the face and hands but not seriously. | Thomas Hudson and brother, of Cohoes, I were very seriously scalded. Michael Me-1 Laughlin, a fireman, was badly injured, I also J. Pendergaat, another fireman. I welve or fifteen of the injured are at I Yonkers.
