"BLAcK CocKADEs These insignia Of
treason are being worn in South Carolina.
They are among our early remembrance, and
are suggestive OF everything unpatriotie. They
were worn by the opponents Of Jefferson, Mad.
ison, and the republican party in 1852, as
they are in hostility TO Lincoln and the repub.
lican party in 1860. They then preceded and
ioreshadowcd the Hartford convention" of
1914, as they now preccde and toreshadow the

ago package Of foreign money was deposited
in the North Bank in this city, by Messrs.
5. Robinson & Son, flour dealers The next
day they were notified that the Suffolk Bank
had returned the strap, marked "two hun,
dred dollars short" The firm examined
their cash account very carefully, and find
ing the figures all correct, felt satisfied that
the mistake occurred in one of the banks
above named. Accordingly demand was
made on the North Bank for the money, which
was refused, and suit was brought to recover
the amount, which created some stir among
tue banks at the time, and led them to adopt Il
new regulation in regard to thcit responsible
ty on the count OF. foreign money deposited
with them. The suit was decided in favor of
the bank, though it was thought by some that
the ruling OF the Judge leaned to the other
side. Last Saturday Mr.. Robinson received
note requesting him to call at the Suffolk
Bank lie did so, and was handed letter, of
which the following is Il copy; -

CITY AND COUNTY

JOHN B. GoUGn's LECTURE ON LONDON
The opening lecture of the Worcester Lyceum
course was given last evening by John b
Cough and the attendance was large, resem.
bling in that particular the opening OF the
Mechanics Associations course, last Saturday
night, when Hon. Charles Sumner in golden
speech illustrated Lafayette's life service for
the inalenabe rights of all men.
Mr. Coughs subject was London--a city
occupying nearly the center of the hemis
phere, with populati IN more than four times
the whole of Greece; where seventy eight
thousand acres are so densely populated that
the births average one every six minutes and
the deaths, one every eight minutes; city
with three hundred and fifty thousand houses
which il placed all in Il row would extend
across England and France to the Pyrcnnes
The lecturer passed from statistical exhibit
ton of the mighty resources of London, to a
inimitable description of the peculiarities, the
sights and sounds of this enormous city. The
river Thames, or as the poets have 1t, the
"silver Thames" SPAWNED by magnificent
arches, and floating the shipping of the world,
appears to be a very bad smelling river in the
summer. Its unsupportable stencil causing
parliament to often adjourn, and the bad odor
sometimes following one for thirty miles.
the cold, clammy, smoky fog of London, OF
which even Dickens is unequal to a descrip'
ton, furnished rich theme for Mr.. Cough.
The beautiful sight of Hyde Park on a sun
shiny day, and Jam at Temple Bar, and 9TH
err scenes, were made life like and entertain
ing by the eloquence and mimicry OF the
speaker Abiding to the crowds in the streets,
he stated that it had been found by count that
one hundred and sixty-seYen thousand nine
hundred persons crossed London bridge in
twenty-four hours. Mr. Cough does not have
a very flatterng opinion OF the out door preach
ing OF London, a..d can give some amusing ac'
counts OF the ignorance Of some OF the out
door preachers, who he seems to think, would
not be of much account in New England. The
dreadful dreary misery and horror of the
purlieus of this swarming city, the generous
charity and munfcence which also abound,
the slang, the signs, and the cries Of the street
pedlars were all described with that power,
pathos and humor for which Mr.. Cough is
remarkable.
Mr.. Cough stated that this was only one
of series of lectures that he intended to
deliver on London, and explained his motive
in making this diversion from his temperance
mission to be to obtain the rest which this
relaxation would give him.

Monday, November -, 1860.

Correspondence Of the New York Timesl
MAPLEroN, KANSAS,
Monday, November 10, 1860.
Affairs on the Cherokee neutal lands have a
lull just now, while delegation are absent to
Washington city, for the purpose OF asking
postponement OF the time when the settlers
must vacate, which is now fixed for the 18th
inst. Considerable anxiety is felt in the result
of this negotiation, for whatever the view en-
tertained at Washington, it is understood here
that the settlers never intend TO leave peacea-
bly,. Their lorbearance has been taxed too
severely already For some cause there is
general desire among them to receive another
visit from Col. COwan. But | will not pur.

sas, and they seem to break forth here and
there, at intervals, like the pentup volcano.
The influences that operate upon society here
cannot be clearly defined, so as to be compre-
hended by those at distance. The majesty Of
the law, with all its power and prestige, is gen
orally held to be sufficient to restrain evil
doors, and sustain the morality and virtue of
any civilized community Why Kansas should
be an exception to this general principle it
may require more space to illustrate than can
here be afforded.
In word, this is the case The conflict
was protracted year or two later in southern
Kansas, after il was in the main settled in the
northern portion The same as there, it was
the conflict between the power of slavery and
those who believe liberty TO be inalienabe.
The Iree state men were about becoming mas
tiers OF the field, when, in February oil 1893,
the whole difficulty was suspended, by the pas
sage Of the famous amnesty act. For time
all parties observed the amnesty, and the
country was al peace.
While the contest was raging, both parties
had driven out of the country such OF their
enemies as came III their way. During the

The NATIONAL BAND-The whole amount
of the bills of the National Band, for their
very satisfactory services rendered at republic

recent campaign, amounted to 1919 so. OF

Outstanding as to the true state of the
case, and also as to the particular COM
mittee by whom that balance was to be paid,

this misunderstanding that it seemed proper to
the band to pass the resolution of which men

the bills where he supposed they were to be

had not presented them. We add this explain

unsophisticated individuals who believe that
everything must be true which appears in the
newspapers, not excepting sensation kilograms
and New York Herald correspondence. Thus,
it is stated that Queen Victoria was born
May a, 1919, and Prince Albert August q,
1919, while their eldest daughter, the vile
of the Prince of Prussia, was, according to the
same authority, born Nov q, 1910, and the
filth child Of the royal couple, the Princess
Helena, was born May %, 1916. The cir

births are not stated by those who make up
