Police CoURr.-The attendance at the
Mayors office, on Saturday, was not large,
though extremely select.
VIM. M. Lord, a mute, was indulging in
plain drunk, for which he paid 81 and
costs. When he went out he said never a
word, not even thanking his Honor for his
leniency.o z1tl@ a15Aael- 1a
Jack Ohlen was charged with being an
inmate of house of ul-fame. Jack was
astonished that any one should prefer such
a charge against him. According to his
story, Joseph was not so pure. The Mayor
believed every word he said, as was evid-
enced by his sentencing Jack to 30 days on
the chain gang. zazs ias'4a, r-'ff
Kate Tell, another inmate of low house.
Kate Tell wouldn't tell what she was doing
in such place, nor did she deny her pres
enee there. We heard the Mayor tell Kate
Tell to repair forthwith to the county Jail,
and remain there for 80 days, where the
Sheriff would supply her with bountiful
supply of those delicious viands, bread and
water, during her sojourn there.

The return of the pilgrims to Nee
ca from Suez was effected toward the
close of June. From April q TO

Company brought to Suez 6,S77 pill

was expected. Despite the crowded
condition of the vessels and the ex-
haustion of the pilgrims very few
deaths occurred. Sun-strokes, dys-
entery, and tie fatigues of the Jour-
ney, made some victims among the
overland pilgrims, but taking into
consideration the extent Of the jour-
ney and the utter destitution OF the
peripatetic fatalists who cross the
desert unprotided with tents or shell
ter of any kind, and almost without
bread or water. the mortality was
trifiing. On their arrival at Suez,
the pilgrims who came by sea were
quarantined for FIVE days within
few miles Of the city Although
measures had been taken to provide
for their susteuence, the crowd was
SO large and the facilities fer trans
portation between the city and the
quarantine SO limited, that the pill
gTms were without water for forty
eight hours. Tents had been sent
them to shelter the unfortunates from
the burning sun, but ere they reach
ed the quarantine many had been
overcome by the heat. During the
ssojourn of the visitors at quarantine
there occurred ten deaths. Of the
loss of lite incurred by the caravans
no exact estimate could be obtained.

and her fellow plan an elopement.
The next day the old nan wait
ed upon the young man and ad-
dressed him thus: You're a

object to you for a son-in law. Here's
a hundred to aid in the elopement.
May you live happily in the same
house, and may no accidents occur to
throw the least shade on the sunshine

don't know her good points-elope
with her to such distance that she

and may you be happy" There was
an elopement that evening of one.
The young man went unaccompanled.
He thought everything couldn't be
right when the old cock was so
anxious to get rid of the girl. The
father looks upon this act as very
neat bit of strategy, for one who had

A Newly Married Man Compelled to
kneeI on His Late Wife's Grave and
Ask Her Forgiveness.


A jailor at Donaldsonville, Louisi
ana, who had buried his first wife in
the early part of May, married again
in three or four weeks afterward.
This so shocked the moral sense of
the community that public meeting
was called, and a procession formed
and marched to his residence and
took him out. After being marched
out of his dooryard to the tune of the
dead march, with lighted candles on
each side of him, the procession
formed, music in front, the latter con-
sisting ofold cans, horns, tin pans, and
large bell, carried on the shoulders
of two of the party, which was tolled
continually, while cries of mirth and
jollity tended to enliven the scene.
After trayersing the principal streets
and thoroughly arousing everybody in
town who was not engaged in it, they
proceeded to the final act, it now
being near the hour of midnight.
After forming properly the procession
moved 70 the graveyard, where the
joke Was flushed by his kneeling
down at the grave and asking pardon
of his late wites spirit, after which
the party proceeded to saloon, and
taking a drink at his expense, he was
permitted to reioin his new made wife
this being the third marriage bond
he has entered into.

English Railway Embarrassments

The London correspondent of the
New York Times writes: q have
not felt it my duty to go into details
of English railway mismanagements
Two of the great English lines are in
Chancery, and several more in serious
difficulties The firm of Peto, Belts
& Champion, contractors of the Lon
don, Chatham 4 Dover line, claimed,
some time since, that the line owed
them balance of over half a million
sterling. The company has now put
in claim against the firm of six and
half millions sterling-a difference
in accounts of some thirty five mil
lions of dollars! 1t is proposed,
therefore, that the house of Peto &
Co., should go into bankruptcy. that
the accounts, and this little discrep-
ancy in book keeping may be properly
settled. The London, Chatham &
Dover is run by the Court of Chan
Gerry, and run so fast and well, that
one can hardly believe that Court was
ever slow or uncertain. And if the
Court Of Chancery runs this railway
so well, why should it not take the
Great Western, Brighton, and all the
roads in Great Britain and Ireland,
and save all the troubles of the
Boards of Directors"

from the Herald.
As the terms of one-third of the members of
the United States Senate expire on the 4th of
March, the question who shall fill those yacan.
cies yet open has awakened an unusual num-
ber of candidates. The New York vacancy has
been settled in favor of Roscoe Conkling as the
Republican nominee. Greeley's universal Rebel
amnesty manifesto laid him out so cold that his
name was not seriously mentioned i'm the caucus.
and as for Thurlow Weed, his particular enmity
against Roscoe was the making of ConklinG
so that If botn Greeley and Weed have been
snuD0ed, Greeley is still "a leetle ahead" In
New Jersey the contest among the ReDublicans
who have the Legislature, is between Mr. Ere.
nnghuysen, lawyer, the Governors appointee
and Mr.. Cobb, popular dry goods man. The
lawyer seems to have the inside track.
In Pennsylvania old Thad. Stevens and For
ney have been completely distanced by that old
campalgner, Simon Cameron. In Illinois Sena-
tor Irumbul has several active competitors for
MS place, put the chances seem to be in favor
oil his reelection. In Missouri q stiff contest
between Governor Fletcher and four or five
Others has been settled in favor of a prominent
radical named Drake, who, we hoOe, will not
turn out lame duck. In Kansas they have
two Senators to elect and of course the border
men OF that tussy radical Common wealth are in
high state OF etfervescence; and whether this
or that radical succeeds, it is all the same.
There still remain some other Senat torial places
to be settled among the Republicans; but as 1t is
pretty evident that the EXTREMIST radical in
each is most likely to be the favorite, nothing
more need be said of them lor the present.
The Democrats and conservatives of Mary
land, in securing the Legislature, through
FOmey's folly have a Senatorial plum, aud
little dispute over it as 10 whether 1t should be
given TO Governor Swami or the Eastern Shore;
but Swami will probably get it, and with all hls
trouble in the late fights with the old radical
Baltimore Police Commissioners and Forney he
has arly earned it. The net result of all these
election will doubtless be aradica Senate, with
a larger radical majority than at present, and
sufficiently radical to push through the impeach-
ment OF President johnson.

The Senate Tariff Bill.
From the Tribune.


In the Tariff bill reported to the Senate by
the Finance Committee on Friday last
it will be seen that the committee while
accept Mr. Wells bill as a basis, they make
several important changes. The duties on
brandy and other alcoholic liquors are unal-
tered, but in woods and woolens the rates of
the House bill, passed at the last session, are
generally adopted. On wools of the first class,
imported uDwashed, and valued at "a cents or
less per pound, for instance the duty IS now
six cents. a rate Mr.. Wells bill would retain,
while the committee fix the duty at 10 cents
and 10 per cent. dd UdiOrem. So upon sheep.
skins and AngoIa goatsklns, which in the pre-
sent tariff and the bill of Mr.. Wells are taxeI
but 20 per cent, the new bill imposes 80 per
cent. This difference rules in all the grades
OF raw WOOL ln manufactured Woollen
goods, broad cloths, cassimeres, etc, on
Tan wnich ooat MI Me5iS WEI proposes duty Of %
loren, the new bill imposes As per cent and
35 per cent. 0d 0dlOren A proportionate in
crease IS made in blankets and yarns, for which
Mr. Wells proposes a duty OF 10 cents per pound
and the committee 20, for qualities of less value
than Az cents per pound. In other qualities the
same rates are fixed, goods valued above so
cents paying duty OF 60 cents, with 30 per
cent. al UaiOreDl. Woollen hosiery is taxed al
40 cents instead of 20, and hats and caps an 30
instead OF 25. In Weddings iringes. ETC., a
pronOrtiCnate increase is reported by The COM
mittee. They also increase the duty upon silk
goods generally. Our cotton manufacturers are
well protected by the new bill, and we should
be satisfied if the duties on all other articles
were up to the standard in this respect.
The classifcations of the House bill upon iron
arc retained, with a slight increase of the rates.
The committee make no changes in the duties
proposed by Commissioners Wells upon coal and
leave the free list with very little change An
important addition to the Wells bill is the sec
tion of the House bill which allows a dra wback
on the imported materials used in the manufac-
ture OF farming machines and other tools, aud a
new section provides for dra wback upon iron,
copper, and cOrdage used in the construction
OF sailing vessels.
The Senate, which at the last session threw
the Tariff over, may redeem that mistake by
acting promptly upon the present bill, OF
which the increased rates cannot fail to bened,
home INDUSTRY. We are glad that the Finance
Committee have not accepted all the reduc-
tions OF duties proposed by Commissioner
Wells, and trust that the more stringent pro
visions of the new bill will not be frittered
away in useless and unmeaning amendments
The country needs now, as never before,
tariff which shall be indeed protection tC
