FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
New YORK, November This af-
ternOOn Mr.. Bonner drove his BOgart
colt, by Major Winfield, to a road
wagon, over the Fashion Course, and
the day being fine, and the colt in
good condition, speeded him around a
quarter of q mile in 33{ seconds. He
let him 90 a halfmile in
l III, the first quarter being made in
81 seconds, and the last i'm 34A seconds.
So well pleased was Mr.. Bonner with
his performance that he consented
that John Murphy should hitch him
to a sulky and try him mile. The |
track was heavy and John had never
held line over him previously, but
he flashed past the first |
quarter pole in 90 seconds, past the 1
half in 34$ seconds more, past the |
in BAT seconds more, 1
and home in 344 seconds more, max /
ing the mile in the extraordinary /.
time Of two minutes, nineteen and a /
half seconds. This has never been |
aqualed at the same age, even by |
Dexter. Messrs. Robert Bonner, I
William Simmons and /
Borst We're the timers.
it is now settled that the DemOcra Is |
have a-wOrking majority in both .
branches of the LegislatUre-siXteen |
n the Assembly and four in the Sen /
lte. This fact creates great rejoicing
n Democratic circles, and makes up /
or the loss in the city. The Demo- /
crats of the interior have saved the
state, which il is now assured has
zone DemOcTdtic by about 1900 ma
Ority; still a good many returns are
not ia and it is more than likely that
., 900 will be the nearest figure. The
responsibility placed in the hands of
he Democratic party is we'll weighed
~ the leaders, who are already in
as to the best mode of
idding the State of the last six years
# the Radical legislation. The Sun
lay laws will be the first eXpunged
rom the statute-bOOk.
Boutwell, this afternoon was again
Ipeniy accused Of beingin league with
he STOCKHOLDERS. He had advertised
or only million bonds for the sink
ng fund. The offerings were 81, ISL
90, and he took $1,000, 600, the gen
raj pghlic relying upon the adver-
isenieut, not knowing that he would
purchase over q million; the ring,
IOwever, did, and those in the secret
.ad ample time TO make their pur- |
hases and get rid of s., 900, 900 at an
dVance, as the awards were not made
Ip until 2:30 pm. Wall street is dis
-usted with Boutwelrs trickery, and
Oud demands are made for his re-
noval.
Father Hyacinthe has written the
letter to Rev. Leonard w. (
Bacon, the translator of his sermons:
hter. Brother: / am highly graft
led at the honor shown my Paris dis
curses by this republication in
English. ] wish they were more
worthy; but such as they are, / COM
nit them TO the world. / present
hem to America and those Protestant
Of which you are one Of the
leads. ] am proud of being French
nan, and trust France will soon imi-
ate the country which she did so
much TO liberate during the RevOlu-
ion. / continue to belong to the
]athOlic Church. ! have entered pro-
est against her usurpatiOns. but the
world can judge of my love for the
}hurch by the bitterness Of my lam IN
gtiOns. However, ! am none the less
ensible of the sympathies of the
'hurches of other faiths on the stand
have been compelled to take / do /
lot think that Churches separated
rom the Catholic communion are be-
'Ond the pale Of the Holy Ghost.
Whatever may divide us now, we will
,e united in the space of time, and all
i've in hopes Of the same eternity and
owe of the same God. We are all la
'Oring i'm common for the Great
'hurch of the Father. Men have
lughed my ideas to scorn, but l could
.Gt expect less. | look, however,
)rward TO one God, one Faith, one
}aptism, and one Shepherd.
