The BARON Won HOFFMAN AT BrNGHAAT0N--
We find in one of the organs OF the Tammany
rump to the extent Of four mortal columns In
small type, report Of the late stump speech
OF Baron Won Hoffman at. BinghsmtOn. 1t Is
hotch potch of stump twaddle, Of which the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher forms the principal
ingredient, and Horace Greeley, Mr.. Ray
mond, Of the Times, and Mr.. Bennett, Of the
HERALD, are made to ill up the chinks Mr..
Hoffman, however, does not altogether forget
the constitutional amendment, but. opposes it
after the approved copperhead fashion, as an
unjust and cruel thing to the high minded rebel
are-eaters OF the South, and as . mere trick Of
the radicals to maintain their ascendancy in
Congress. But he says nothing of the ad-
m ssion Of Tennessee, on the ratification Of the
amendment, as precedent which binds Con-
eress to the same policy in reference to all the
excluded States.
Nor does the Baron Of the Tammany rump
meet the issue between himself and Governor
Fenton. This issue is simply whether, with
the head of The Corporation ring as Governor
that combination Of "The Forty Thieves" shall
rule the State, or whether the State shall take
in hand and break up the plunderers Of the
ring and their schemes Of jobbery, robbery
and Wholesale corruption. This Is the exact
issue between Hoffman and Fenton. The fight
on the one side is to establish the headquar-
tors Of one Corporation plundering ring in the
Governors chair at Albany. and on the other
the object is to break up this ring Of jobbers
and robbers, root and branch.

MURDERS BY CoNTRACT-DANGERs OF Our
MODERN BUILDING SYSTEM The day before
yesterday we took occasion to point out the
insecurity to life and property which is caused
by the cheap contract system upon which
houses are erected in New York and other of
our large cities. The article had scarcely
appeared when it received another illustration
from the appalling accident which occurred in
Chicago during the recent hurricane. A large
four story brick building which was in pro-
gress of erection was blown down during tho
gale and buried In it's ruins q number Of per.
sons who inhabited several adjoining wooden
tenements. Now an accident Of this kind could
not have occurred If the walls had been of
sufficient thickness and had been properly tied.
The side walls, We are told, were held together
only by the josts and at the foundation we're
only sixteen inches in thickness. Such card
house as this, we need not say, had no power
of resistance TO q stiff gale in the absence Of
roof and windows. We question, from the
size Of it. whether without any storm at all 1t
would not have fallen as soon rs the floors
became heavily weighted. Such buildings are
nothing but traps in which people must sooner
or later expect to get crushed.
1t is time that stop were put to such q
system Of construction. II Is not only danger
Gus to life, but II offers premium for The dis
fgurement Of our streets. 1t would not be
tolerated in any European city. There our re-
publican idea that we have right 10 do what
we like with our own Is admitted only to the
extent Of tho exercise Of that right not en-
dangering the lives and property Of others
Here we act absolutely upon that right rs~.e,

upon the employment Of stone and iron where
the purposes for which warehouses are erected
involve any unusual amount Of risk. II we

ment and hostility, which will bring on
collision, and may end in bloodsled.
The respectable colored people-t those
who have always maintained good char
acters and secured the esteem and conf.
dcnce of the whites--should stand up
for the Improvement and respectabiity
of their race, and bring all violators Of
the law to justice. This is high duty
which they owe to themselves and TO
the country. because if they wink at
crime and screen offenders, the disgrace
attaches to the whole race, and all suf:
fer alike i'll character and reputation.
They must do as the white people do
when the lave are violated, turn the Of
tenders over to the magistrate, let war;
rants be issued, witnesses Sbound over,
and the case bought to trial. In this
way, and in no other way, can society
be protected, and the character and dig
nifty Of of the race promoted. I think
the black people who are trying to do
their duty TO themselves and to their
country, will take this counsel. 1t is
the counsel of wisdom and the advice of
friend.
AS pauperlsm is not to be encouraged, ;.
so ought vagrancy to be punished The
laws. if properly enforced, are amply
sufficient to put down this evil. Let
every person., white or black, who is
living on the community, without known
or visible means Of support. be brought
up for examination and if he cannot give
a satisfactory account Of how he makes
his living, let the laws against vagrancy
he>rigidly enforced, and the vagrant put
to work for the public good. In this
way, the highways and public buildings
ofthe State may be much improved,
and The crowds Of idle consumers, both
in the cities and in the country, greatly
diminished.

A Singular Character.

There are few residents of Mobile
who have not seen the Sicilian, Andrea,
hobbling through our streets upon his
patched crutch, and walking staff, or
lying 'on some door step. basking IN the
sun, always wrapped in the rags of pow
erty-a picture of filth and paupersm
without parallel in this or any other
city. Many reports are given OF his
early history, of the cause by which he
lost his leg, and of his eccentricites; but
from these conflicting statements it is
difficult TO arrive at Toe truth and no
indncement can DC offered him to speak
Of mis- past career. opportunities in
This direction are most certain to be met
by fit Of passion calculated to deter the
most persevering, from pressing the sub
ject too closely. Bpt report states that
in his boyhood.he was one of. Laftte's
crew, and lost his leg during an action
between the Gulf Pirate and English
man.of war.
This statement is without any sub
stantlal authority, but there seems to be
much more truth in the following. which
has jnst been related to ns, by a gentle.
man who has seen him almost daily for
the last fifteen years. About eighteen
years ago Andrea resided in New Or
leans, and while one day assisting to
put some heavy timber in vessel under.
going repairs, one Of them fell upon and
crushed his leg. Ampueation became
nesessary, and was performed at the
Marine Hospital in that city, and few
years afterwards he came TO Mobile,
where he soon became an institution.
He has relatives here in good circum
stances, who have made many efforts to
reform his vagrant habits, and once pre-,
vailed Upon him with such success as to
establish him IN fruit.stand, fitted up
for his benefit, in which he continued
but few days, when he broke up his
stands and boxes, pitched his fruit into
the dock, and without giving word of
explanation resumed his uncouth habits.
He has been repeatedly provided with
good clothes, which seem to disgust him
more they approach gentility, and. few
days will find them torn. up, patched and
repatched, until all semblance of shape
has been destroyed in them, and Andrea
rejoces in his rags again. Strangers,
thinking him an object of charity. some-
times offer him money, which he almost
Nyariably throws back at them in fit
otrage and passion. q
When driven by hunger lie Will
sometimes ask fora a piece OF bread, which
is never.refussd him, but more frequent.

Of the 2 ult., and in reply to the invitation
TO the proposed banquet, which has duly
reached me, The invitation is q very re-N
markable one, and cannot doubt that it
represents an important amount ofpublio
opinion in ireland. TO myself it is o tcsti-
mohy ofnpproval and kind feeling which
estimate most highly, although it involved
me in no small difficulty, for have been
hoping for quiet autumn, with an absence
of public meetings and Of public lapor 1
am not confident that my coming to Ireland
will be ofservice; but as 50 many among
you are of opinion that something may be
done TO make more perfect union between
the liberals Of Ireland and the liberal party
here, with view to wiser legislation for
your country, and for ours, have not felt
myselfat liberty to refuse the invitation
,nl AAa - Il ~
with gratitude to those from whom 1t comes,
aud with hope that III doing SOL may not
be stepping beyond the bounds of what
seems to be my duty. Some time during
the month Of October will, 1 hope, be con-
venient to all concerned; but I must ask
you to leave the precise day to be fixed two
or three week hence. About the middle Of
the month will probably be the best time for
me, if there he no objection to IL on the
part of my friends in Dublin, With many
thanks to you. ana to those on whose behalf
you have written to me, am very sincerely
yours,

in Colorado shows that the recently
discovered method Of treating quartz
rock containing the precious metals
Is working to great advantage. In
one case ore that paid but six dollars

now pays sixty dollars per ton by the
new process. In another instance,

from which but four dollars per ton
had been originally eXtracted-were
