AN OLD MAN AND HIS WIFE TERRIBLY WOUNDED
AND STILL lNsENsIBLE.-A Piqua, Ohio, dispatch
of he eth, says: The most daring burglary and
ieudish attempt at murder ever done in the his
tory Of our city. occurred this morning. short
time before daylight, the dwelling of William r.
Hall, dentist, was entered through a sky-light by
burglars who descended to the lower story, where
the doctor his wife and the smaller children were
IL is supposed the movements Of the burglars
aroused the doctor and Mrs. Hall, and that through
fear of detection or being roughly dealt with the
thieves attempted to add TO their crime that Of q
double murder.
Their wounds are very serious, but it is hoped
not fatal. They ere both severely cut about their
faces and temples. The right cheek bone of the
doctor is crushed and several teeth broken. He
received. also. heavy blow on the left temple.
Mrs. Hall is badly bruised in one eye, and also has
q dangerous CONFUSION on the back part of the
head, causing profuse discharges Of blood from
the ear. The blows were evidently inflicted by
some heavy instrument. probably Ratchet or
budgeOn. They are both lying in q very critical
condition, and everything is being done that is
possible by eminent surgeons and competent
nurses.
DR.. Hall and his wife had lately celebrated the
tweDty-f fifth anniversary Of their marriage, and
had received large amount of silverware, which,
II is supposed, the parties who entered the house
intended TO carry of.

ADMIRAL SENMEs's LEcTURE.-The second lee.
ture Of this brave and talented Albanian was
given at the Institute, last evening, before
fashionable and appreciative audience. We did
not get in until late and left before the lecturer
concluded but what little we did hear was of
intense interest He spoke Of the incidents of the
Alabama and of the Sumter, both of which he
commanded, and ia which vessels of war he won
aworld wide reputation. In speaking Of his an'
tsgonists in "the late unpleasantness." he in
variably spoke of them as "the enemy"
and with the natural feelings and i'm
pulses that characterize the brave and
the noble, used no opprobrious epithets. On the
contrary, he remarked, that among the federal,
or Union seamen whom he captured, there was
hardly one who was not brave tar, and one of
the best men for a man Of war in the world, mas
much as he always did his duty, not only as
fighting man but in assisting in keeping his vessel
as clean as a kitchen floor.
The admiral said that he often felt mournful and
sad to destroy vessels as he did but that be did so
because 1t was an act of war, and considered
right and just in the eyes Of nations, and accord
ing to precedents established by the United States
themselves in past years.
All New England constantly called on Secre
tsry Weiles to stop the Alabama, but all New
England and Secretary Welles could not DO it.
One New England vessel that he met and cap
tured had what is sometimes called by "Old salts"
cooked invoiee;" that is, an invoice of goods
put down in the bills of lading at twice their
value; so that if any in foreign ports disputed
the price. the snpercareO conld show the nanifeSt
and cay. "there is the first cost" The admiral,
after stating the fact of capture of vessel with
one of these cooked manifests," said he burnt
her; but be might have added that the manifest
was not only cooked" but the cargo was, soon
after!
He related several anecdotes and incidents Of
his captures, and explained, in a scholarly and
lucid manner. the theory Of the trade winds,
which elected applause. He also remarked that
in all his career be met no one but Democrats,
with one exception, and that man stuck TO it that
he was a Lincoln man all over"
The lecture was well worth listening to- and it
is strange that so interesting a subject from the
lips Of man who is conspicuous in the worlds
history excites no more enthusiasm, not to say en-.
coursgement, from admirers of The ToiIers of
the Sea-

A GREAT ENTERPRIsE-There is a city "down
East t" where they are said to "pry the sun up
with a crowbar," that is celebrated for three
things: As beautiful city, with beautiful women;
having the finest harbor in the world and having
had the most destructive fire, according to the
population. of any city on this continent. From
the latter they have recovered infourteen months.
From the two former we hope it will never re-
cover. This city is Portland, Me-, and generally
known as the "Queen City of the East" The
people of this goodly town having recovered from
their fearful disaster as hardly any city could
have done under the same circumstances, now
proposes to build an airline railroad to Chicago
via Ogdensburg, and the enterprise is the next
thing TO q certainty. The wealth, and the spirit,
and the energy Of Portland are interested, and
there can be no doubt that railroad will soon
unite the cities of Portland and Chicago with its
iron bands, and that both will be UNNECESSARILY
benentted thereby. We are confident that our
confreIe of the Portland Argus is correct when he
says this great enterprise will result 10 making
Portland what she has been long destined, and de-
sired TO be, and what our Boston friends have
long dreaded-the commercial entrepot Of the
great West"

WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY Is. 1888.

The Constitution requires, in order to con-
vict, two-thirds of the senator's prese1a; not
two-thirds of the senators voting. Thus, if
Mr.. Wade be present when the vote is taken,
and do not give any judgment, he will be con-
sidered to have voted in the negative. In this
case, only six Republican votes, added to the
eleven Democrats would be necessary 10 ac-
quit the President But there is very little
chance that Wade will abstain from voting,
unless he knows his vote to be superAuous.
If the President can be convicted without
him, or acquitted in spite of him, he may
maintain a specious but awkward decency;
but if he can reach the presidential chair by
simply voting himself into it, he will perform
this interesting ceremony with as little COM
junction as he exhibits in eating his dinner or
damning the chief justice.

postponed until Saturday. The committe on

A very fair specimen OF the spirit actuating
the majority of Congress is the statement, as
Transmitted by telegraph yesterday, that "a
resolution directing the committee on the
treatment of Union soldiers to inquire into
the propositions of the Confederates for their
relief, was tabled-75 to Al" Now this is the
Congress which was ready to accept any testi-
mony, however fimsy however self-eyidently
that of suborned peTjurer, which might tend
TO the conviction of Wirz; this is the Congress
which strained every point of the law, to exc
cute an innocent woman; this is the Congress
which has shrunk from no labor, spared no ex-
pense to procure the downfall of the highest
officer in the land, pleading that JUS
tice has required their efforts and now
this Congress, when proposition comes be-
fore it to investigate how far the Confederate
government was responsible for deeds, the
punishment for which its agents have already
suffered, tables it by an overwhelming vote
We do not call attention to this as a surpris-
ing fact 1t is too much in accordance with
the past record Of the dominant party to ex-
cite wonder, and enough so to arouse con-
tempt and anger in every honest bosom.
Well might the radical members of Congress
fear to recur TO those dark days just after the
war whenlthe thirst for Southern blood, stimu-
lated by every artifce of corrupt partizan
press, would not "down at their bidding,
and was allayed only with the sacrifice ofin-
nocent lives. Well might they fear to walk
through the dusty chambers of the past, for
therein are the skeletons of their victims,
which, at their approach, revivifed by Nemesis,
would rise up to upbraid them for their cru
city. Well might they fear to turn from their
present unholy crusade against liberty to the
outrages they have perpetrated in the past,
outrages only more atrocious because consum-
mated Yes, Congress did well to put aside
all reference to the Wirz trial "For the
children of this world are wiser in their gen.
GRAFTON than the children of light"

KENTUCKY STATE LoTTERY.-It will be seen by
referring to our advertising columns that although
the branch Offices of this lottery have been tenn
porarily closed, Mr.. C. 7. Howard, the popular
agent, will still keep open his main office, corner
OF Camp and Common streets, for the benefit of
those who wish to invest in this favori,e institu
tion. In all games Of chance there is more or less
hazard. but in this policy plan of the Kentucky
lottery we believe there is as much surety in get.
ting for your investment value received as in
any institution of a similar character now known.

TIE LATE BISHOP HOPKINs-An Extraordinary
Statement by one Of his Sons.-The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writing
on the 18th, says:
A very extraordinary statement is made to-day
by Rev. John Henry Hopkins, son OF the late
Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, leading to the in.
ference that that eminent preate, If he did not
die in communion with the Church of Rome, held
views concerning the pope anything but in &C
cordsnee with those usually held by processing
Protestsnts.
This statement is embodied in a valedictory
from Mr., Hopkins, who announces his retirement
from the edtorship of the Church Journal, post
which he has held for period OF fifteen years.
He does this, he says partly in order to prepare
for the press several treatses which his father
had in hand when his health failed him. He
says:
my father left two treatises 10 manuscript,
which would have been put to press this winter
had he lived. Indeed, at the time when the tele-
gram announcing his last and bri fitness reached
me, | was daily in expectation of receiving the
manuscript, TO be placed in the hands Of the pub
fishers. One of these works will prove to be OF
peculiar interest, for he wrote IL retractation
of an opinion which he found he had expressed
in one Of his previous works, that there is good
ground for regarding the pope to be the anti
christ. In reviewing his books for final cOrrec-
ton, with view to a new and uniform edition,
he felt that mere alteration of the text in mat
ter Of so much importance Was not q sufficient
tribute to the truth; and he therefore wrote this
Little treatise, acknowledging his error. showing
that he was misled by authorities without suti-
cent examination on his own part. and going on
to demonstrate that that common Protestant no
ton cannot be correct. No nobler proof could
be given Of his fearless and conscientious honesty
Of character, than such close to such q career
IS his.n
