THE PRESS AND THE GRAHAM TRIAL.
From The Loui.Szle Courier.

From The LOufsBAe Courier
The press Of New York deserves signal praise for
It's triumph in detecting the pollution of the jury-boI
by the presence of a cousin Of DIR. Grshams wife.
TIE TRIBusE first pointed out the fact and was
snubbed by stupid squib from The EreHing Post, as
though the editor of The TRIBUNE were picking a
pocket instead Of attempting to uphold the laws and
to restrain the progress and tumphs Of violence The
TRIBUNE. however with noble consciousness that it
was in tie path Of right ard justice, pursued the even
tenor Of ts way without being annoyed in any degree
by the Yelling Of The Post. The Court was para
lived by the announcement of the condition of .he
iury il decided that it could not act without speci-
fed action on the part Of the Distrct-Attorney, and
he confessed that be could not make an atfidaylt
The jury sat in gloomy silence under the exposure oil

in its der uDcatons, and strong suspicion seized the
public mind that the counsel OF DR.. Graham were fully
aware of the consanguIi ty 10 their client OF this Juror
when be first presented himself for the pannel When
public Indignation reused by the press began TO utter
tts voice the jury determined to wipe out this foul
blot by either removing the obnoxious Juror or reu-
ing TO adjudicste the case with him. The Court hsd
called in the aid Of consulting judges and the counsel
for the defense agre ed to withdraw George William
Wright from the jury box. But in their wasplsh allu-
sons to the power that had forced them TO this tardy
and reluctant act of publication, the counsel for Dr.
were cognizant Of the fact Of Wnghts relationship to
the accused. For the sake Of Mr.. o Conor's honest
and elevated fame, we hope that the charge Is un-
true but while denying small things it Is strange that
be did allow this grave matter.
But when that jury box underwent this public puri-
fcation. all honest-rninded men must have felt that
the triumph Of decency, ofustce and right, was due
exclusively TO the stern and Incorporating demands
of the public press. Unawed by denunciation, IN
swayed BY crooked and devious methods Of looking
at truth, and uDbought by money, the press vindi-
Gated the majesty Of law the power Of truth and the
purity Of justice And the press is destined to In

NEW INVENTIONS.

SUBMERGED PADDLES, OR ysw METHOD or Pro.
prLLlso yEssrEs The following has been comau-
infested to us BY Polish engineer, who has invented
the method in question
There are at present two methods Of propelling
vessels in water, ris the wheel-padies and the
screw. However, in the natural movement OF living
aquatic animals we see third kind Of propulsion,
which by alternate ard continual contraction and exeh-
sion of limbs constitutes system OF propeuing which
msy be called submerged paddles. Based on this
gronnd form under water each side OF the vessel,
two series Of paddles affixed by two shafls to the
axle. which placed and turns in the manner as
in the present wheel paddles At the outside extrem-
tiles OF the axle is affixed strong perpendicular lever
turning with the axle aud connected with the sh ATS OF
the paddles. The other cords Of the shafts are at
tached TO the ship side forward the other to the
ships side backward in such way that they perform
continual oscillatory movement. Nov, by rotation
of the axle of the extreuties of the lever goes
forward while the other backward il follows then,
that by action these paddles going for
ward must be contracted while those going backward
must be extended, and by their resistance in water
increase the power Of propulsion"
ANEW LIeHr.-A correspondent hands US the fol-
lowing:
IAN important discovery, after Eve years inces-
SAINT labor has lately been completed by gentleman
residing near New York, which is expected TO cause
great revolution in the prices Of coal and gas. Ii is
an entire rev light, white in color, resembling much
the light of day. II will be cheap and it for all pur
poses that gss is used. One great advantage in
the invention is its applicability to the production OF
hest for domestic purposes Of every kind. Ii will be
able to be obtained at such price as will be within
the means Of every person. 1t is called "Arthurs
Washington Light" 1t will supersede the necss-
sty Of Ia, ing down gas piping in streets and houses
as il portable, and requires piping of any kind
and can be carried without inconvenience from one
room to another. The lamp is not easily put out Of
repair and requires no care after once lighting. Ii
is perfectly safe and not liable to the accidents Of
other lamps. The inventor is most sanguine as to its
applicability to ali locomotive engines, instead Of
coal or other fuel"

POLITICS IN ONONDAGA.
Correspondence Of The N. 7. Tribune.

Correspondence OF The N 4. Tribune
SYRACUSE, Saturday Oct. IA, 1884.
The Republicans OF this the lid Assembly Dis
trict have nominated DUDLEY p. PHELPS as their
candidate. Mr.. Phelps is a reliable and sure Maine
Law man, Sewardte and Wing, but one on whom
the Republicans could cordially unite with tho Wing
party. The latter, however, yesterday nominated
GEORGE STEVENS, who has twice before represented
this District in the Assembly. He is not, however,
satisfactory to the Republican party, who do not con-
sider him reliable, either the great question OF
Slavery or on the subject of the Maine Law. They
will probably therefore adhere to Mr.. Phelps who is
just good Wing as Mr.. Stevens, but who is also
certain the two great questions OF the day; and
the probable result will be that this district will be
represented by an nti-Mane Law Seymourite in the
forthcoming Legislature.
II il whispered heraabouts that union of the Hards
and Softs on the Assembly ticket throughout the
State will be communicated for the combined purpose
of "killing Seward and sustaining Seymours veto.
and the defeat Of the Maine Law. The arrangements
for such a union now being perfected.
The wbigs Of this County have nominated Gen.
Amos Z. GRASGER for Representative in Congress.
The General the suthor of tho resolutions OF the
Auburn Convention, and is right as book on
the subject Of Slavery. His election will be sure II
he is also on the Republican ticket but the latter are
provok ed at the detection Of the Wings on the sub
fect Of Assemblyman, and may nominate DANIEL I.
JONES Soft our present Representative, and who
fought the Nebraska swindle manfully from the be-
ginning to the end. The Softs have given him the
go-by, and il is possible the Republican party may
take him up in testimony Of their approval OF his
course. CHARLES Il. SRDGwIcR Free-SOlll Is also
strongly talked of; but doubt his acceptance Of the
nomination. Tours, &C. ObsLNEh'

SBoPLFrIsG AND PREcocIoUs MATRIMONIAL
singular instance Of female depravlty has recently
been brous BIT TO the notice Of the police. For the
last Is months a girl named Mary Ann Galway has
been in the employ of Mr.. Baum in Eight sst., above
Arch, of Mr.. John Kiehl, in Arch-st., between
Seventh and Eighth, and during the last four weeks
in the dry goods establishment of Mr. George Fryer,
in Chestnut st., below Tenth.
DuriI these eighteen months, Mary Ann seems 70
have had very costly clothing for herself and to have
made numerous presents to her dressmakers and ac-
auantances. On entering the store Of Mr. eyer,
she presented his child with beautiful handkerchief,
the value Of which il estimated at cas-. Mr.. Fryer
naturally inquired how she came by such costly
article She said that her mother held very respon
sbe and lucrative situation in the Girard House IN
this city, and her aunt the same kind of situation in
the ST. Nicholas Hotel, New York, and that one OF
them bad given her the handkerchief
Az abe was poor girl she said she did not like to
keep such handkerchief. This explanation. was re-
ceiyed a. satisfactory at the time But on last sltur-
day night Mary Ann was detected in the act OF Sc
cretpg some fine laces, and the explanation OF the
affair only induced Mr. Fryer TO have the young aay
taken into custody. Since that event. starting de-
velopments have been made. -.
II apuears that during the last eighteen montns,
this your lady has been carrying on shopiitny oy
the Wholesale and with sue cess almost nnpssaneisd
by A female. She has taken from the various stores
in which che has been employed, patterns, SIX
dresses, merinos, aces hanaksfc d.S. 81 das,.
Her pau OF action was 10 represent 10 ner conPan-

and were to be sent for.

her fascinating powers over mere lad, II years Of

The case is an extraordinary one, and must excite

InPoRrASr ARREsrs-The Spria yield Republican
saws tor some time past the officers OF the Western
Railroad have been much annoyed by frequent depre-
dations upon freight in course Of transportation on
board their trains and every effort has been made 10
discover the perpetrators but all to purpose, till
the arreet of Edwin Bates the bgamist He disclosed
to Officer Walker the names OF several men who had
been engaged in these operations All OF them proved
10 be employ Is Of the road-assist6ut freight con-
ductors and breakmen. Measures were Immediately
taken to arrest them, which was successfully accom-
plished. Three assistant freight conductors aud six
or seven breakmen were arrested, and about $1,000
worth Of stolen goods recovered from their possession
The parties will be examined next week. Ii appears
that a regular system OF robbery has been carried
on by these men. light merchandise Of almost every
description having been distracted by them from
boxes and packages OF freight on the trains upon
which they were employed. There was mutual I'M
derstanding among them that no man should take
more than be required for his own USE and while
most of them adhered TO that rule Of the more
ayarcious appropriated enough TO stock several mod
crate sized variety stores. or the former however,
are several young men who were evidently drawn
into the gang and led by older heads in crime and
are therefore less implicated. Ii is believed that
these arrests win put end to these Expectations,
and that feight will hereafter pass unmoesed over
the read. Several railroads in different parts OF the
country have recently suffered in the manner,
and the Western Read has only shared In the evil to
which all are exposed in this respect.
Here is another of the same sorts
An extensive combination OF railroad thieves has
lust been detected at Mad River Ohio, and six OF
the members arrested. Their mode of operation was
to puroin goods from the freight cars and stations
Among the six arrested were three OF one iamuy-s
father and his two sons-aDd all of them 10 the
service Of the Railroad Company whose trains and
stations they pundered. The CoiambEs Ohio
Statesman says that ten twelve freight conductors
on the line between thar city and Erie dismissed
last week for the too frequent habit of constituting
themselves silent partners Of the company, and do
clarDg dividends without owning stock.

THE OPERA.

The Opera of Mariana given, lest night, at
the Broadway Theater to full house. Mr.. Wallace,
the composer led in person. This work was origin
ally produced at Drury Lane in 1545 but quite new
to this public The plot is the Don Caesar de
Bszan-a comico- serious production, whose poetica
Justice consistsiin Spanish nobleman too proud to
work and mean enough not to pay his debts,
being happily married and appointed Governor
of province by a very small pattern of King.
We do not admire poetica justice at that rate but
all we have to do is with the music, which, tits hardly
necessary to say far ehead Of the plot Unfortu-
nssely for man of the mettle Of Mr.. Wallace, there
Is nobody in England who can construct drama
especially for his musical purposes and so he takes
variation Of acting rnelodrama, with such yersf
sssion as he can get
The burden of the performance lay upon Miss
Louisa Pyne who admir- ably acquitted herself batting
the fac. thai, like most English singers, she does not
pronounce her words distinctly We would advise
al yocaliss to take a lesson Of the exquisite precision
of Mario in this regard. Mr.. Harrison we were
sorry 10 find sang out of tune, which forbade Judg-
ment of his other mers-as immaculate information is
indispensable. Mr.. BorIapi much applauded
In bis chief solo. Miss Pyne was unexcephonably
good. The orchestra numbered between thirty and
forty and played as well as might BIO expected on
fret night, excepting some rare dissonance in the
brass department The oh ,rus was equally numerous
The whole force OF the opera was colossal compared
with the ancient standard of doing operas in this City
sThe composer was called twice before the curtain
30 the vccalists and the piece unsteady speaking
ywas decided success. Certain deficiencies in the
Execution, and the want Of progress at the out
set of the plot We do not consider in connection
with the success of the musical composition Sew
eral pieces were encored for their striking beauties
In orchestraton the composer particularly shines,
and we could not help comparing his fuency in in
strumentation wi h the hobblng metres which he was
Obliged to cram to musical symmetries where his
orchestra maintained the melody. For example, the
duet between the Don and the King.
We trust that mere of Mr.. Wallaces works may De
brought forward and his compositions fully displayed
Being no admirer Of the English system OF writing
operas half speaking half singing which we consider
adverse to pure art, should like to hear an opera
from him in which brief concentrated reciiatves take
se place of conversation with its strange contrasts to
singing.
The only way to give an idea of melody or har'
mony lie quote H. and that is impossible, we end
BY advising the public to go hear the operain ques
tion The music will amply repay them.

.s heir secretary and to intrust with the writing
A their manifestoes.
Like Calderon's pompous heroes who, con-
founding conventional distinction with genuine
sssstness, used to announce themselves by q
& ,us enumeration of all their titles, the Junta
{ pied itself in the first place with decreeing
q honors and decorations due to its exalted posi-
ioo. Their President received the predicate OF
sHighness," the other members that of " Excel
cheney" while to the JuRta in eorpore was re-
served the title Of Majesty. They adopted a
species of fancy uniform resembling that of q
General, adorned their breasts with badges rep
resenting the two worlds, and voted themselves a
yearly salary of 12O, 600 reals. 1t was trueidea
OF the old Spanish school, that, in order to make
great and dignifed entrance upon the historical
stage Of Europe, the chiefs of insurgent Spain
ought to wrap themselves In theatrical costumes.
We should transgress the limits of these
sketches by entering into the internal history of
he Junta and the details Of its administration.
FOr our end it will suffice to answer two ques-
.ions. What was its influence on the develop
neni Of the Spanish revolutionary movement !
What on the defense Of the country These two
questions answered, much that until now has sp-
peared mysterious and unaccountable in the
Spanish revolutions Of the nineteenth century
Mil have found its explanation.
At the outset the majority of the Central Junta
thought 1t their main duty to suppress the first
revolutionary transports. Accordingly they
hehtened anew the old trammels of the press,
and appointed a new Grand Inquisitor, who was
happily prevented BY the French from resuming
his functions. Although the greater part of the
real property of Spain was then locked up in
mortmain-in the entailed estates of the nobility,
and the unalienable estates of the Church--the
Junta ordered the selling of the mortmains,
which had alresdy begun to be suspended, threat
enin even to amend the private contracts affect
ing the ecclesiastical estates that had already been
sold. They acknowledged the national debt, but
took no financial measure to free the civil list
from world of burdens, with which secular
succession of corrupt governments had encum-
bered it, to reform their proveIbially unjust,
absurd and vexatious fscal system, or to open to
the nation new productive resources, by breaking
through the shackles of feudalism.
