THE NEW YORK MoRaUE.
From the New York Tribune,


On the upper side of Twenty-sixth street,
and very near the edge of the East river,
is an unpretending apartment, situated on
the ground floor of the Bellevue Hotel, and
bearing, in severe gilt letters over the door,
a name which instantly gives rise to many
mournful reflections; but which irresistibly
attracts the attention of the passer by.
1t is The Morgue." The room devoted 10
this use is small-scarcely twenty bet
square. Immediately upon entering, YOU
are struck by the general appropriateness
Of the interior. The floor is made of small
rocks, the alternate red and white of which
form a curious checker-work. There is a
prevailing dampness in the air, but it is
cool and pleasant. The room is divided
into two compartments of equal size,
the separation being a glass partition,
commencing at the street door and
running the length of the apartment.
The right hand side of this partition is
utterly devoid of furniture. The only
object upon the bare white walls is a wal
nut framed copy of printed rules and reg
ulations of the Morgue. They are simple
and few. They describe the disposition
made ofunkn5wn dead bodies which as
brought to the institution, and the ,--iIne
they are preserved for identification The
glass room, as the other compartment may
be called, is devoted to the exposure Of the
bodies. Ii contains four tables with iron
frames and heavy marble slabs for tops.
Upon these marble tables the bodies, after
being stripped naked with the exception
of a covering about the loins, are laid on
their backs. India rubber tubes are sus-
pended from the ceiling, and from these a
constant dripping of water falls upon the
forehead of the dead to keep it fresh and
cool until Identification shall have taken
place, or the time expires for the exposure
of the body. Twenty-four hours is the
usual time. If the remains are identified
they are given into the hands Of the friends
together with whatever clothing and Other
property may have been found upon the
body if no Identification takes place, tn,
corpse, after the usual inquest of the Cor
onor, is inferred, and the effects which
came with it are kept number of month
for whomsoever may call for and identify
them.

ooNOvER AND MS PEaJURTEs.
Trom The Cbicago Tribune

FROM the Onleag0 lrlDuEe.
The recent exposures" ard counter ex-
posnres, oaths and counter,oaths, l.. which
the name Of Sanford Conover alias Durham
figures like another Titus Oates, disclose
an amount of perjury and infamy calculated
to shake all confidence in human testimony.
Conover early in the war obtained employ
ment from the government as a spy. He
penetrated the Confederate lines, and while
there was employed by them as spy. He
was In both services, employed in a busi-
ness where readiness at fslsehood was in
dispensable, and thus schooled himself
systematically and professionally as a liar.
That he was a confirmed, inveterate, cir
cumstantial liar, became notorious. There
was no fact, material or MINISTERIAL, infa-
nous or murderous, to which this man was
not prepared to swear for money, and to
which he could not procure the testimony
of any number Of other witnesses that
might be desired. It was immaterial to
him what the fact was, or against whom it
was to be used he was professional fabri-
Gator Of testimony, and was perhaps the
most skillful in his profession. While this
has been his real character, and while his
infamy was confessed, it has not been until
recently that the matter has been brought
before the public in its most revolving de-
tails.
Shortly after the war Conover, for some
purpose, procured the testimony of two
men to a particular fact Judge Holt sub
seqnently discovered the testimony to be
false, and had Conover indicted for per
jury, and he was convicted upon the testi-
mony of his two hirelings 10 crime 1t was
a remarkable exhibition of total depraV-
ity. Conoyer, as principal perjurer, was
convicted upon the testimony of Two men,
each confessed perjurer, and periurers
for hire. While no other man could or
ought to have been convicted upon such
testimony, it was strong enough to convict
him, who in addition to his own perjury,
had hired them to commit the same crime.
Taking the whole business, from first to
last, we doubt whether there was ever a
more loathsome chapter Of total depravity
opened than is furnished by these combined
exposures. 1t is, without exception, the
most unclean thing that has ever been
thrust before the eyes of the American
people. 1t is perjury upon forgery
forgery upon perjury; falsehood sustained
by falsehood, and subornation of perjury
piled upon perjury itself; swearing away
life, character and all that is sacred. 1t is,
without exception, the most disgraceful ex-
hibition of criminal depravity that ever
proceeded from the fertile brain of any
single thief swindler, spy, forger and
blasphemer.

a YOUNG HERO-KILI4s SIX CHEY.
ENNES AND ESCAPES WITH A


From the LeavenwOrth Commercial, 18th.
Some four or five weeks ago, one of the
grading parties in advance of the railroad,
had with them a young man of about
eighteen years, named George Wait His
business was to break the prairie ground
with pillow for the graders along the line.
One morning as he was out about two and
a half miles from the camp, twenty~one
miles beyond Ellsworth, mounted on a
mule, he discovered party of about thirty
Indians dash out of the timber, on the
Smoky Hill, and make toward him and
another man who was on foot, about
quarter of a mile nearer camp than he was.
He started to 60 toward camp, but the In
dams discovering his intention, by the SUI
perior feetness of their ponies, cut him off
Young Wait now saw them divide into two
parties-one party going towards his COM
rade, and the other toward him. He at
tempted to make the timber on the Smoky
Hill, but the Indians were too rapid in their
movements for him. He had two navy re-
volvers, and resolved that the redskins
should pay for his scalp if they got it, and
at fair price, too. Soon they came near,
circling around him with savage yells, and
began shooting at him.
The Indians seemed to be well armed
with pistols and lances, very few having
bows and arrows.
Wait returned the fire, and he says that
several times they came so near that the
lances nearly touched him. Indian after
Indian fell before the unerring aim of
Waits six shooter, and the assaulting party
was getting smaller very rapidly; the dead
Indians being carried away by the sur
vivors according to Indian custom. Soon
he heard the shouts of approaching COM
rades, and the Indians made final dash to
kill the brave boy, who, manned already
with bullet in his leg, still stuck to his
mule. One young warrior came up until
the muzzle flis pistol nearly touched that
of the boy, and both fred-the Indian
falling from his horse with mortal
wound, while the hero ofthe fight only got
a revolver ball in his side In a few mo-
ments more the rescuing party came up,
consisting of half dozen negro soldiers
and some railroad employees, when the In
dams suddenly retreated. Wait still had
strength to dismount and take the pistols
and scaip-lock of the last of the Chey-
ennes," which last he now bears as
trophy of his fight.

DTsRAELI ON IRELAN.s.


Mr.. Disraeli has always taken part in
debates on the improvement of Ireland,
but his efforts toward reformation, if he
has ever made any, have not yet brought
forth fruit. He said recently in Parlis-
ment, that the decrease of population in
Ireland from 5000 900 to 5000, 900 was
one of the most striking events of history,
and gave him as well as the government
much solicitnde. $3.50
+. "As a general rule" he said, emigra.
ton from an oVer-populated coun: s.op-
Grated as a safety-valYe; but thef or
binary extent of this emigration IS
great social and political calamity. Re.
ferring TO his speech of last year on the
came subject, he intimated that there was
the same vital difference between a whole
some emigration and this wholesale depop-
ulation as there is between the bleeding
ordered by the doctor to check fever and
that involuntary and uncomfortable hem-
orrhage that ends by destroying life"
His speech was full of kind expressions to-
wards the Irish people, extending sympa-
thy and dealing in rose-colored hopes that
it would soon change for the better; but
not word did he say of the intention of
his government to bring forward any mea-
sure calculated to deal effectively with the
grievances that are causing "the great So
cial and political calamity which he 10
fully admitted and 50 forcibly described.
This practical inactivity is exceedingly
discouraging to the Irish people, especially
when they recall graphic words Of the same
statesman in 1874, when he described the
Irish question in this wise:
"a starving population, an alien church,
an aristocracy the richest of whom live in
distant capitals, and the weakest executive
in the world that is the Irish question"
1t is evidently not for want of keen
application of the difficulties before them
that British statesmen do nothing towards
satisfying the unfortunate and lOng-suffer-
ing people of Ireland

THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE AND
TIE PRINCE OF WALES
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM the fnladelpnia Ledger
Among the late items ofnews from Eng
land is the announcement that the Prince
of Wales has taken the temperance pledge.
The fact of young man foregoing, of his
own free will, the pleasures of the bottle,
and breaking up the seductive associations
which poetry, song and false sentiment
have thrown around them, is worthy, at
any time, of commemoration and praise.
Every case of this kind is good in itself;
it is good also as serving for an example
and encouragement to others to do the
like. and thus, the process of imitation
going on, pure and salutary is gradually
substituted for a polluted and noxious
moral atmosphere. But when a prince
royal and heir apparent 10 the throne
takes such bold and decided step in favor
of temperance, he will soon be followed by
large numbers Of the aristocratic, the fash
ionable and the wealthy, who would have
held back OF ridiculed similar proceed
ing by less distinguished parsonage.
Even though they may not at once Danish
alcoholic liquors from their entertainments,
they will no longer think it necessary to
procure the most delicately favored or
costly wines to offer the Prince, or to press
inem on OlhSIo III nlS pI60tiCcs Il 10 hoe
for US to say, though we may conjecture,
what has been the directly melting cause of
the present pledge taken by the Prince of
Wales. In the rounds iof revelry and
song which he has run of late, both IN
Paris and in his own capital, he may have
found himself going too fast, and that both
health and temper were beginning to suffer.
He is a husband and father, and cannot
be insensible to the new and positive
duties which these new relations impose
upon him, as head of his household and an
example to his children.
Another view of the subject may have
presented itself To the mind Of the Prince.
His thoughts quite probably ran on the
history of his great uncle, George ~, the
greatest debauchee, and in all respects the
most proAigate man of the age IN which
he Hved-a sensualist without any redeem
ing trait of refined epicureanisml A drunk
ard without a single CLEAN of wit, humor
or sentiment. The generous heart and
noble traits in the character Of Fox were
obscured and perverted by the contamln-
ating and corrnpting association OF George
~, when Prince of Wales. The genius
and eloquence and wit Of Sheridan could
