Official BIaek-Mailing?

One week ago Deputy Sheriff Gibner
took into custody Sergeant Of Police
Uriah Raynor. The arrest was made
on a capiaS, issued by the Monroe
County Court, charging Raynor with
extortion in Office and obtaining money
under false pretences. The prisoner
was taken to Woodsfeld, Monroe
County, but was released on his own
recognizance and returned to this city
1t appears that in May last man
named \. Hysem was arrested on the
serious charge of raping his own
daughter, and was subsequently tried
and convicted. While waiting for the
verdict" Hysem broke jail and escaped.
A reward of $500 was offered for his
capture, and a man named Lynch
started in pursuit Having traced his
prey to this city, Lynch loitered about
the warf in hopes of spotting his man,
whom he shrewdly suspected would
seek passage on some of the down-river
packets. At last he saw his man on
board of boat about TO leave for the
South He then called on officer
Flannery to make the arrest, agreeing
to give him 800 of the reward
Meantime Officer Raynor had like
wise spotted his man, having his descrip-
ton from handbills, previously received,
offering the reward. BE made the ar
rest, Officer Flannery happening up and
helping him to escort the prisoner TO
the station-house. Next day he took
his man to Monroe county, received
receipt for his body, and claimed the
reward A telegram was shown him in
which Lynch requested them not to pay
the reward, claiming to have caused
the arrest Of the prisoner Officer Ray
nor thereupon accepted 5000, leaving
500 in the Sheriff. hands as security
for the satisfactory settlement Of
the dispute. Lynch. on arrival in
Monroe county, claimed the whole re-
ward, and entered suitagainst the Sheriff
for S2O0i The latter officer had acted in
the premises without authority from the
County Commissioners, and they re-
fused to audit the charge against the
County Treasury, throwing the expense
Of the capture on the Sheriff Of the
county. So matters ran on until about
two weeks ago. Sergeant Raynor re-
ceived letter asking him to send 800
to certain parties and Save himself
trouble
He did not do 50, and the indictments
and the arrest followed Another YER
sion Of this affair has been published,
rejecting on Mr. Raynor in an ex parte
manner, but from careful inquiry we
believe the foregoing to be a fair state
ment ofthe case. The trial will doubt
less show up the matter in its true light |

PARIS, July 27.-The Journal Of
ficiel publishes decree naming the
Empress as Regent during the absence
of the Emperor from the capitol.
The departments of Moselle, Haut,
rhin and Basrhin have been declared in
state of seige.
The Journal Officiel publishes an,
other decree, calling out for active duty
10000 men.
PARIS, July 27.-The Journal Ofiiciel
has an article this A. NJ on the pre-
tended treaty recently published in the
London Times, having for its object
the acquisition of Luxembourg and
Belgium by France, on condition of
France opposing the union of States
South with North German Confedera-
ton. After the treaty Of Prague, in &C.
several conferences were held at Berlin,
between Count Won Bismarck and the
French Ambassador on the subject Of
a project of an alliance Some of the
ideas set forth in the Times were then
advanced, but the French Government
never had any knowledge Of the pro-
ject described, and as for the propo-
sitions which were discussed at the
interview mentioned, the Emperor re-
jected them. 1t can escape no one
that this publication on the part of the
London Times is designed merely to
influence public opinion in England.
LONDON, July 1.-The Correspond
ence prints the text Of the treaty Of the
French Emperor offered Count Bis.
marck. In its comments, the Cor
respondence SAYS the Emperor waived
all opposition to German unification,
provided Prussia would assist the
French acquisition Of LuXemburg and
the reduction of Belgium. The min
utes Of the treaty are in Benedittis
writing, and preserved in the War
Office at Berlin. Before the war Of
1866 between Prussia and Austria, Ma
poleon had offered aid to Prussia with
800, 900 men, with which to attack Aus
tria, as an equivalent for the cession TO
France Of the territory on the left bank
OF the Rhine.
LONDON, July 27.-To-day and to.
morrow are settling days in share and
foreign accounts at the Stock Exchange.
They are the most anxious settling days
ever known. According to the Times
it is thought many additional failures
will be announced
PARIS, July 27.-The Journal Otliciel
says we have intelligence that rumor
was circulated on this side of the Rhine
that the Emperor had given orders for
the prisoners of war TO be treated with
the utmost rigor and placed outside OF
the protection of the law OF nations.
This report is absurd. On the contrary,
the Emperor desires to treat prisoners
with the greatest humanity.

Witchcr Denounced i'm the House of

The following card from Alfred Phil
lips, Of Monroe county, we take from
the Union Register. Phillips is a repre-
sentative man Of the Radical wing Of
the Republican party, and knows what
he is doing The card speaks for itself:
To the Voters Of Monroe County:
Whereas it has been represented that
General Witcher is the nominee Of the
Republican party for member of Con
cress. and whereas the nomination OF
said Witcher was carried by fraud on
the voters of this county; hereby re-
quest all the Republicans to abstain
from voting for said Witcher, as in my
opinion he is no representative OF the
Republican party OF this county, and
has distinctly avowed his purpose tc
prevent negroes from voting in the eiec

Pittsburgh having introduced female
boat-racing, and Cleveland having an
nounced foot race TO come off between
two ladies of that city, Saratoga goes
bow-shot ahead OF either, by giving
the ladies of that place the freedom OF
the great gambling house established
there. 1t is announced, a. if it were a
most desirable event, highly conducive
to the cultivation of American women,
that "Mr. Morrissey has thrown the
doors OF his elegant house open
to the ladies from 1890 until one
o'clock each day, and the fair sex enjoy
their visits to this paIatial rendezvous Of
the money changers with great zest-
they inspect with no little interest the
gaming tables, the cards, the dice box
es, checks and entire paraphernalia OF
the establishment Following this,
we are told that Mr.. Morrissey, assum,
ing a high moral tone, assures his lady
visitors that he cannot permit them TO
gamble just now, but that Saratoga is
the Baden-Baden Of America,
and that next wear he will
have Il house open where the ladies
may gamble in the Baden-Baden style
We lay this notice Of the present and
prospective advantages OF Saratoga be
fore the heads of families gratuitously
They must see that their daughters are
having and are likely to have rare oP
portunities for seeing and becoming
familiar with fashions, from which the,
are cruelty cut off at other American
summer resorts. 1t will scarcely re
quire Mr. Morrissey's assurance to en-
able them to understand that, as affair
are now progressing, Saratoga is tn
Bad -un' Of America in more sense
/ than one.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE.

DETROIT, Mich, July 21-The Leg
stature met in extraordinary session
at Lansing to-day, a quorum of both
Houses being present.
Governor Baldwin message was
read and refers exclusively to the rail
road aid laws recently declared uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme Court. The
Governor recommends that an amend
ment to the constitution be submitted
to the people at the general election to
he held in November next such as will
enable the several municipalities 10
ratifv all such railroad aid bonds as
have been issued and delivered to par
ties in good faith Besides the bonds
which have been used and are now in
the hands of innocent purchasers and
holders. there is another and much
larger class which have been sold but
not delivered to the companies for
whose benefit they were designed; Of
these there is now in the office OF the
treasurer the sum OF S3,il0,S3oSO,
which might be divided into several
classes, but Tor present purposes snail
consider them as of two classes only,
first, such as have been pledged to roads
that are being constructed and on which
expenditures of labor and money to a
greater or less extent have been made
in anticipation of the aid so voted; sec,
ond such as have been regularly voted
and deposited with the treasurer for the
benefit of the proposed roads but on
which no work as yet has been done.
In some cases the bonds embraced in
the first of the two classes named were
nearly earned by railroad companies,
and had been negotiated and paid OIL.
The purchase price advanced before the
decision of the court had been rendered.
Itis worthy of your consideration wheth-
er good faith does not require provision
10 be made for their payment.

Gossip for the Ladies.

Listen Somebody sings the praises of ''youug
matrons." Delightful as his ideas are to that
Lass Themselves, remember, moreover, that ad-
mission into the circle is the goal for which ''the
belle of the season" is striving. at any rate -
The presence of young married ladies at enter
tainments adds charm to the evening of peculiar
dignity. The couitesies extended to them by
their gentlemen friends do not clash with the
attentions paid to the unmarried ones. A young
person of either sex cannot have better guide,
philosopher and friend, in any social emergency,
than married lady. Then, again. there is a re-
pose and serenity about the manner OF the young
matron, which renders conversation with her at
once free from possible embarrassment. Marriage
has the effect of settling all sediments In the
female character more or less, and as the current
of life runs smoother with them, at least for q
time, they can talk upon some other subject than
tho everlasting one of sweethearts, benux and
matrimony. There is eubdued softness of de-
meaoor, too, In the young matron which the belle
of the season does not have. The exhilaratiou
and excitement incident to successful career as
young girl, which eliminates 10 what Ia called
the insoleDce of beauty" Is not visible in the
manner of the belle retired from business-the
young matron. The moro charming married
ladies' dispel the gloom incident to q dreary
wilderness Of unmarried ones by "going out"
the more delightful society may be.
Washington gossip is busy over the action oil

ton, who has been conquered by pretty daugh.

"A connecticut reporter, who recently attended
a wedding, apparently for the first time, writes
that when he looked upon the bride lin he
sweet grace and with her gentle ways, he felt lik,
going into the shadowed gardens OF imagin' iior

roses half asleep in their buds, and half awak,
as they swelled to bloom from slumber-ant

The Paris Figaro says: "The health Of
Plus TX. declines daily. A foreign prelate,
who was recently received in private audi
ence by the Sovereign Pontiff, was quite
shocked by his appearance. Alas.' ex-
claimed the prelate, the proverb then is true,
" Non vide6is amos Petri,"' alluding to
the Roman saying that no Sovereign Pontifl
can Reign longer than st. Peter, who occu-
pied the Pontiticial chair during twenty-five
years. Plus IN. is now in the twenty fourth
year ofhis Pnmacy. The person who writes
to us from Rome has recently been himself
received by the Pope, and found him sadly
changed. Plus TX. now rises with difficulty (;
his look has not the vivacity which formerly
distinguished it; his voice, low and week,
no longer possess the sorority OF
former times. This increasing change causes
great anxiety among the official circle at the
Vatican, although they endeavor to conceal
the fact. 1t is, nevertheless, quite true, and
there exist apprehensions at Rome. Our
correspondent is the more entitled to credit
as he is man who is profoundly devoted
to the Holy See."

TIE WORKING OF THE SuEz CANAL.-Laic
London and Liverpool commercial news
papers show that large number OF steamers
are constantly advertised for ports in India,
China, and Japan, via the Su,z canal. The
demand for steamers since the opening OF
the Suez canal has caused an advance IN the
prices Of suitable vessels in England, and l5
per cent. additional premium is easily oh
tainable for such steamships over last years
prices and the ship yards Of the Clyde are
now building several steamers of 1000 tons
and upwards of construction especially
adapted 10 this trade. The Brazilian which
has arrived in Bombay from Liverpool, made
the passage in 33t days. The Asia left
Bombay ON the 25th of December, at !, T.
NJ, having called at Alden, Suez, and Polt
SAID, Alexandria, and Malta, inside of 81
days time. There is now in port at New
York a small cargo Of coffee, via the Suez
canal, which grew upon the mountain estate
of Pasha Ali, in Arabia, which reached New
York, via England in 40 days. Had this
coffee come by the way of Good Hope by
sail, it would have required seven months
longer to have made the trip, and would
have been liable to injury from passing
through the tropics.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

Not q little antagonism has been awakened
among the National Banks, against the
clause in the proposed Funding Bill, which
has passed the Senate, and is now pending
in the House, requiring the banks to ex-
change their six per cent. securities, in the
custody of the Treasury Department, for
others bearing four, and four and half per
cent. Friends of this clause argue that the
banks now have large privileges, and make
heavy dividends, so that the Government,
by whose consent they exist, can justly ask
their aid in funding the national debt at
lower rate. The banks, however, complain
of the compulsory character of the clause,
and argue that they are already heavily
taxed. A deputation of their officers has
been in Washington to state their case, and
left on Thursday. Some of their operations
are thus reported in the Boston Advertiser {:
One or two Of the bank men had o con-
ference with the Secretary of the Treasury
about the funding BILL They want the com
pulsory section stricken out, but it ia believed
they made suggestions that will be accepted
by way of compromise. The object to the
clause giving but so per cent. circulation.
The Secretary said this originated not with
him but with Senator Sherman's committee.
lie was willing the figure should be fixed
at 90 per cent, as in the present law, and
as the only object was to secure sufficient
protection, he did not know but he would
consent to 95 per cent. They were satisfied
that it should remain at 80 per cent, and
Mr.. Sherman says he is willing to have it so
fixed. The Secretary said he was also will
ling to exempt the banks from State and mu-
nicipal taxation on so much Of their capital
as is represented by bonds. They asked
that the time of option for the payment of
the four and four and half per cent. bonds
In the new bill be extended, and thought the
Secretary would be willing to coneede some
thing on this point. They further asked for
| a reduction of the one per cent. tax on cir
| culation. The Secretary said this was high
er than is necessary, and he would agree to
some reduction, though he did not say
how much. The Secretary then wanted TO
know If the gentlemen thought the nation
| al banks would come into the provisions
of the proposed law II these changes were
| made. He answered that they proba-
bly, would, though it would be well to cutout
the clause coercing them. They were afraid OF
thai, because il they arc now coerced on four
and half and five per cent. bonds, no one can
| tell how soon some future Congress may
want to coerce them on three per cent
bonds. 1t was held that they and the Treas
ury would be more likely to work together
in harmony if all coercive measures are
abandoned, and the bill finally amended SO
that they can have no just ground Of com.
