Nothing more than you both did To
me, was the gloomy reply. You have
given me, in all, two hundred and fifty lash
es and picked my sore back with salt and
water till the marrow, | thought, burned in
my bones The same treatment you shall
get tonight. In case the worst should han

went on until the two hundred and fftv

sun found the brigands in the mountain,
and the csptives stifened eorpses.
The robbers were aware of the deterni-
nation OF the government. They therefore
| prepared, like desperate men, to sell their
lives dearly. When the military took the
field Captain Donahue sent 4 challenge with

The day came; they met-the Govern,

mortally wounded. His men, most Of them,
were killed; the remainder, dangerously

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
The Case Of the ,ss VS.. the Baron de
REVERE.

The New York correspondent OF
the Louisville COsafeT-JOurR0L SAYS:
The celebrated case of Steele vs.. the
Baron de REVERE, was brought up to-
day before a referee. Some extremely
interesting facts were developed
during the examination. The lady.
though still beau iful and young,
being but tw~enty-eight years of age,
has travelled almost everywhere. She
has been rich, and while in Paris in
1865 had a toilette which alone was
valued at eighty thousand francs.
There also she had nine horses, five
carriages, and velvet dresses without
number. She had sailed on a yacht
rendered her by tie Bey of Tunis,
which gives q decidedly romantic and
eOrsair flavor to her adventures. She
had been presented 10 the Emperor of
France, and heaven knows what
other dignitaries; hut now, even in
the midst of the poverty brought upon
her by the alleged viilainy Of De Re
Were, she sports magnificent dia-
monds. DE REVERE wishes to ROY
the truth of his statement that, in 1868.
she was very poor ard asked him for
assistance which she received, and
which she followed UP by repeated at
tempts to biack-mail and annoy. him.
She, however, positively swears that
IN that year she WIS very wealthy
and had such little articles Of dress
and equipment as we have already
spoken Of She has two children OF
tender years, a boy OF four years,
whose childhood is Weighed down by
the tremendous titls. of M. lie Connie
Vile D'Tscueilies, ard a girl of three
years, whose name Is Rosa de Lima.
The whole story is romantic In the
extreme, and is rendsr still more so
by the personal beauty of the plain
tiff. She is also as pIueky as She Is
beautiful, and speals with inelfable
scorn OfM. le Baron.

A NEW scheme is on foot for 'pro-
lection" in the shape of a tariff to
promote shipping interests. They
are reduced to a low ebb, and it is
contended that this is not a result OF
the war 20 much as that of inability
to build vessels here as cheaply as
they can be built abroad. This re-
suits in great part from the fact that
in their construction iron is gradually
superseding wood, and steam taking
the place of sails as a motive power.
At a meeting Of the Ship Owners As
ISOLATION Of New York the following
resolutions, though laid over, were
assented to as the unanimous Opin-
ions ofthe Association. In the debate
the opinion was expressed that Free
Trade would answer their purposes.
But in the absence of that, which is
regarded as impracticable at present,
they demand a bounty" and the
protection of special legislation look
ing to their interests. Thus on plaus-
ible Pretences protection begins:
"ResOlred, That the Committee Of
this Association appointed to confer
with the Congressional Committee on
Commerce and Navigation, be in
strueted to express the views of this
Association as desiril g for American
citizens the right Of purchasing YES
sells in any part of the world where
they may find it the most advan-
tageOus to do so, which vessel or YES
sells, when so purchased, shall be en-
titled to all the privileges of United
States registry.
"ResoiUed, Failing in this, to ex-
press the desire of ship-Owners TO be
permitted to import vessel property
upon the payment of a fixed duty,
either I'D C0tOTeBl or per tonnage.
"ReSOtred, That all the materials
entering into the construction or out
fit and supplies of a vessel construct
ell in American waters shall be sub
jet to a refund Of duties or internal
revenue tax, or a bounty equivalent
thereto"

As OUR readers will take an interest
in what the Pennsylvania papers may
say of the result in that State, we sub.
join the following from the Philadel-
phia Age, one Of the most candid, out
spoken and reliable Of them all. The
Agc says:
As Democratic journalists, we are
Of course expected TO say something
on what is magnilOquently called the
4" philosophy" Of the late election
the lessons which ii teaches, and the
theory 0n which the result is supposed
20 have cOme 10 pass. Ii will be our
endeaVOr TO do 30, briefly, clearly and
according to our lights, a little con-
fused BY a stunning blow, we admit
honestly. One thing to our minds Is
very clear, that the result, and espe-
cially Geary's election over Judge
Packer, has surprised, and, in differ
ent degrees, disappointed both ar
ties. It IS hardly necessary to saw
how and why the Demoer ats are disap-
pointed. They hoped, and they had
reason to hope, that the unbroken
course OF Radical misrule, which has
continued for nine weary years, was
at last to be stayed, and Pennsylva-
MIA, under the guidance of a pure and
patriotic man, was to resume her an
Gent position as a sovereign State,
and be, as she once was, free from
Legitimate Federal cOHtrOl, though
Obedient to lawful and limited Fed
eral supremacy. We hoped for sub
stantial peace and tranquility here at
hOme-the sense Of sure repOse which
honest and steady administration Of
Executive government alone gives.
Selfish feelings, too, no doubt, mingled
in our hopes and our disappointments.
Scarcely less, however, IS the painful
surprise with which considerable and
conservative Republicans contem-
plate what, in their hearts, they feel
to been ill-starred victory. 1t Is
manifest in the ALTERING rejoicing, the
doubtful triumph, OF every one we
meet. 1t i more manifest in the
guarded u~tterances of their accredited
press. We do not regard
as at all expressive Of true
party feeling, or, indeed. Of
any manly feeling, the babble, the
venomous, unmeaning prattle Of such
a paper as the Bulletin, which, cater
ing as it does to the philadelphia So

THE Cincinnati Commercial CORES.
pondent furnishes the following sum
mary Of the action of the Louisville
Commercial Convention Finance Com
mittee, which the Commercial endor-
seS as conservative:
The conclusions OF your Committee
on Finance and Banking are as fol
lows:
l. The wealth Of a country consists
in the net value of its productions.
and all financial mea sures must be de-
termined in the light Of this fact.
,. Currency is not a product Of a
country, and is not property, but only
a medium TO facilitate the exchange
OF property. Currency values of prop
erty and an irredeemable currency
regulate themselves by each other, 50
that, except temporarily, the amount
of ~irredeemable currency in circula-
ton in no manner regulates the ease
OF the money marker or influences the
rate of interest.
3. An irredeemabla currency retards
production by the fact that il measures
the value of property so unsteadily as
to destroy confidence. 1t prostrates
industry, unsettles society, and should,
therefore, be, and can be, banished
from the nations exchanges. There
fore,
ReSoIued, That Congress be request
ed at once to enact a free banking law,
with efficient and certain measures
for prompt REDEMPTION of the eur-
reney, with a prOviso that currency
is to be issued only as fast as legal ten
der notes are redeemed and destroyed,
until specie payments are resumed.
Treasury to cancel and destroy all le-
gal tender notes that come into his
possession, a fast AZ the net means.of
the Government will allow. In case
National Bank currency is applied for
faster than it can be furnished, under
the conditions here stated, preference
to be given to theSouth, and secondly
to the West, until the whole currency
in circulation be elualized upon the
basis of population. Third-dirett
the Secretary of the Treasury to regu-
late all its actions by the wants and
necessities of the Government, and
leave the people to manage their
money markets and business in their
own way.
Any policy tending to destroy an If
redeemable currency will be advan-
tageous beyond doubt, and and to
leave the people to manage their
money markets and business in their
own way" will be the very essence of
wisdom.

rosis, our female loyal" population,
Chaps its little hands for any sugar
coated medicine it is compelled to
swallow. The other Republican or
gans of this city are grinIly jubilant.
The business men of Philadelphia-we
mean Repubiicans-in their inner
consciences, acknowledge that had the
news'come that JuSge Packer was
elected, apart from 3 momentary pO-
litical spasm, they would have had
the consolation that, after all, they
were sure OF IN honest 63vernor-one
whom corruption could not reach, and
jObbing could not tOuch, and whose
life and neal and talents had been
devoted to the development of Penn
~sylvania's interests and resources.
With such a man at the head OF af-
fairs-DemOcrat though he be-they
knew their business Interests, at least,
would be safe.
But the Ags goes on 10 question
whether it is so, and ilfirms that even
Republicans, rejoicing .outwardly in
their victory, do so with misgivings
as to the result of it. 1t cites q num-
Der of classes who are necessarily dis
pleased withthe result, not members
Of the Democratic party, and con-
Guides as follows:
%One word in conclusion as to the
causes of this disaster. We mean the
causes on the surfase. for we have
neither time nOr inclination to eX-
plain very deeply to-day. 1t is a
matter of deep regret for US TO be
obliged TO say that defeat is mainly
attributable TO TIE neglect Of dtaV and
apathy Of our friends. While in the
great Republican cOlInties-even big
Oted Allegheny anCl Lancaster-ma-
~jorities fell Off to such an extent as to
create panic and make even CovOde
tremble; in some of the Democratic
counties, and particularly hereabouts,
a corresponding detection Oc-
Cured, and the day was lost.
To us, we are free to say,
the cause Of this apathy is
to this moment a deep mys-
terry and we simply record
the fact with the expression Of
the hope and belief that it is but a
transient numbness, which the certain
eXcltementS and T.ritatlOnS of the
next year will put an end to. For
this is to be remembered, that there is
is no exception in oIr political history
to the rule that a new and undevel-
oped Federal administration, such as
is Gen. Grants, is always able TO carry
the first State election after the inau-
guration. 1t is only after the patron
age is exhausted and personal disap-
pOintments begin to ferment, and in
teStine difficulties, s1ch as are newt
able between the President and the
next Congress, are developed, that an
opposition acts etfecrUally and success
fully. The day of retributiOn and of
victory is not far OFF if we be but true
to ourselves and to cur political organ
izatiOn."

Heavy Rain Destruction of Property.
UTICA, July 9.-The heaviest rain storm OF
many years passed over this city at noon yester-
day. For over an hour water literally fell in
streams. sanquot creek rose very rapidly
during the afternoon, and reached a higher point
than at any previous time for fifty years. Travel
on the Utica, Chenango, and Susquehanna Valley
Railroad is suspended the bridge at Checker
Vile being gone. The dam at Chadwick's was
destroyed, and the bridge between here and New
Hartford is washed away stopping travel on the
Utica and Clinton Railroad. The premises of
the Utica Cotton Mill Company, at New Hart
ford, were damaged to the amount of $4,000.
Two dwellings and three barns were washed
away. Six feet of water stood on the first floor
of the factory, doing great damage to the
machinery, and the dam was injured.
