EHs DISCOVERIES IN JERusALrM.-The Lon.
SaeneTimes publishes an interesting letter
n regard TO the discoveries in progress at
sefriaisalem, from which we select the follow
ing; -. e-.- ........ -.
Il The colossal foundations Of the temple wall,
Which are h stores If eight cubits," laid by
Solomon or his successors on the throne, are
low being laid bare at the enormous depth Of
ssIinety feet and more beneath the present sur
fare. The bridge that oneespanned the ravine
between the palace on Zion and the temple
.ens1 1Ioriah is now proved to have been up
yards of one hundred and fifty feet high. If
,shis be, as it seems, the ascent to the house
8ef the Lord which Solomon showed to the
slaeen Of Sheba, We cannot wonder that, on
2s,eiig. It, there was no spirit in her. The
ssinnacle of the temple on which the tempter
s,laced the Saviour, has just been uncovered
to Tie base, and is found still to have an!eie;
yation Of one hundred and thirty-six feet.
The statement of Josephus is therefore no
exaggcration. 6 If any one looked from the
battlemen,s into the valley he would be gid,
oy, while his sight could not reach to such
an immense depth. Sections of the ancient
walls Of Ophel have been exhumed, showing
that, as Josephus says, it was Joined to the
southeast arg of the temple. Aqueducts,
cisterns, rock.hewn channels and passages
have also been discovered within and around
the haryem, throwing new light on the build,
ings, the arrangements, and the services OF
the temple. The great work Of a complete
exploration Of ancient Jerusalem is thus fair
ly and auspiciously commenced. The oppor'
tune visit of the Sultan and grand vlzer to
this country, and the representations made to
the latter by the Arcsbish Of York, follow
ed up as they have been by the energy, the
wisdom and tack of. Lieutenant Warren and
his admirable staff, have smoothed down
Moslem prejudice, removed local opposition
and thus brought about opportunities fore1ca'
vatiou and exploration such as never occur
rcd before; and, besides, large numbers o. o.
Arab laborers have been trained to the work
and are eager 10 be employed, and the exact
points for successful exploration are now vel
known.

SAD SUICIDE OF a DESERTED, WIFE.-A
painful sensation was created among the
boarders at the Wetmorc House, New York,
on Thursday morning, by the suicide OF Ia,
dy.. Mrs: T. Priest, who had been employed
for few days pastas the cashier OF the es-'
tablshment. A bottle, partly filled with
laudanum, and some opium lying BY her side
told the story. The lady, was from New Or
leans, aud had but recently come to New
York. =. Several letters were found in her
trunk, from which it would appear that she
had been for some time separated from her
husband. and had come to New York to pro-
cure the means of livelihood. The following
letter is supposed to have been addressed to
her husband:
30 December 3l.-Dear, dear Sir: When
YOU get this am no more: All asked for

Another letter, addressed to the Annie Ash.
nun, az. Jane-street; alludedto above, reads
as follows, s'tWhen / sawsyou yesterday, you

Cor Hrs Foer Is lT.-Mr. Beaumont,
Chief Of Police in Memphis. made a raid,
one night this week, on what b assumed to
be Ku Kluxers, arrested number Of young
men and committed them to the station
house til after mid might Next morning
the columns Of the city press contained an
elaborate production Of tho most hideous
oates or compacbs, said to have been in the
possession of the young men when captured
by Mr. Beaumont It turned out, however,
that the young men were members Of a Base
Ball Club, and were IN session dispensing
the regular business peculiar to the society,
and in 30 way engaged in unlawful assem-
blage The Memphis Appeal calls upon
Mr. Beaumont in the following language to
/ answer certain questions:
/ MIR Beaumont, You have known for
many months that unlawful assemblies of
/ negroes, intermingled with few white men
/ fond of perfumes, were nightly meeting Ia
/ secret conclaYe, were bound together by
/ stri8Gnnb s SIS, were required by their by
/ laws to attend those meetings armed, In Yio-
Iation Of a law which you are sworn to en-
force, and were fined if they did not violate
that law You knew that it was alleged
that the Judge Of the Criminal Court of the
city was the President or Chief of one of
those Leagues Why have you never inter
| fered with them? Your police can, IN vio5
lation of law, break into houses of women
Of illfame, and into gaming-houses, to levy
a regular and stated tribute, and make the
vices of the community pay tithes and black
mail into your police treasury. But you
never entered a Loyal League, toapprehend
those who, you knew, were -WearingsWe apOns
IN violation of the law, and constituted an
organization dangerous to the peace of the
community. But you an-put your sleuth
hounds on the track of reputable young
men, who meet for purposes that YOU Ger
tainly do not know to be unlawful You
can lay in wait for them, because they arr
, white and respectable. You can agqes
them, and imprison them until an hour o.
, two after midnight, and then, when It suit
} your sovereign pleasure, discharge then
without trial, as you arrested them wita0a
reason or law What business have. you
! sir, arrestng peaceable men, quietly return

/ not only cannot prove, bat do .not-even sus
pect them to be guilty Of any wrongful ac
, any overt act whatever against the peace q
