JACKSON IN THE WRONG Box.-We cannot
commend too highly the vigilance Of the Dis
trict Attorney, who has prevented the escape
Of the murderer Jackson. There was evidently
a job on foot to free this murderer by verdict
in court not dissimilar to that rendered in his
favor before the Coroners jury. Itlooked well
for the schemes Of the plotters when they had
manipulated the Indictment so effectively that
the man was only to be arraigned on charge
of manslaughter. But for the prompt action
Of the District Attorney in having that indict-
ment quashed and another found the iniquity
would have been carried through and added
one more disgrace TO our administration Of JUS

A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH FOR RELIGION. The
members of the Irish State Church Conven-
ton, clerico-lay assemblage, embracing a
vast amount Of talent and piety, have decided
to invest large portion Of their funds in
United States securities. The disestablished
churchmen have been wrangling in Dublin
ever since the passage Of the Gladstone bill,
which sewers the connection between their
Church and the Crown. They have just now
learned the infallibility Of the Bible admoni-
tion, ''Put not your faith in princes" and are
obediently and reverently resolved to trust all
to the American democracy. They are per-
fectly right. They will come in an excel
lently happy time with their cash. Let them
invest in New York city stock. Here they
will find Christianity in its primitive apostolic
essence and meet the men who sslive like the
lilies Of the field; they toll not, neither do
they spin, and yet Solomon is not arrayed in
greater glory" The Irish churchmen have
heard Of the new Charter by cable.

TICKET SwINDLEs. are two or three
travellers in the House Of Detention who on
their way through this city were robbed Of
some thousands of dollars by ticket swindlers.
They are held that their presence may be
secured for the day Of trial-but every time
the cases are ready for trial the ticket swim
dlers appeal for delay through counsel, and
getit and every time the cases are put of
some weeks are added to the imprisonment Of
the travellers. After awhile they will weary
of Imprisonment and will withdraw the COM
plants, and the rogues will 60 unpunished. In
such case the Judge who assents to an hours

KNOWN BY ITs FRUIT.-The c01acdn ball.
that fourishes in the city in these days, is bad
tree aud bears bitter fruit, as is now expert
enced, no doubt, by the poor creature Hattie
Moore. This woman was fond of ''gayety."
She was miserable because the home of her
husband was quiet place and because .he
opposed the associations and excitements Of
which she was fond. She broke from the
domestic trammels the other day-went for a
Duchess ball-and rose to such riot of rum
and revelry that she could not come down to
her daily life again, and tried suicide as the
best remedy. Perhaps such career is best
when it ends early.

JUDICIAL THIMBLERIGGING.-Ther is a
story in the police reports, of country mer-
chant who was robbed in panel house of the
Fourteenth ward-and who, perhaps, UNDER
stands by this tipe that panel house and a
court of justice in this town are not such
widely different est Adjustments as they ought
to be. He succeeded in securing the arrest of
the girl who lured him to robbery, and was or
dered to the House Of Detention at the same
time the girl was remanded for trial. He did
not want to 60 to prison and protested; but
the only way he could escape going to the
House of Detention was by withdrawing the
complaint and letting the accused 60 free. If
q justice were in league with the panel thieves
We do not see how he could render them more
efficient service than this.

Tho Gathering or tho Clans in the
Wigwam.

Tho Gathering or tho Clans in the
Wiswnm.
There is TO be . meeting Of the Tam
many General Committee in the Wigwam
tomorrow evening concerning the troubles
among the democratic clans and cliques at
Albany over our city spoils. Preparatory
meetings Of the sunterriGed" have been held
in numerous places all over the city for several
nights past. Both houses Of the Legislature
stand adjourned to Monday evening, at half-past
seven, in view Of this meeting of the Wigwam.
It is supposed in some quarters that half the
Legislature will be down here tomorrow
night to assist in the powwow at the Wigwam.
It will be a most momentous and important
powwOw-
Big with the fate or Cesar and OF Rome.
Tammany rules the city the mighty legions of
the city democracy march under the banners
of Tammany. Her power is in the hands OF
her General Committee, and this commit
tee, so far, has been ruled by half
dozen Of the Big Indians. But the
mutinecrs at Albany have declared "war to
the knife, and the knife to the hilt," against
these chiefs, and hence this call of the General
Committee. Let us suppose the fight to be
between Sachem Tweed and Sheriff O'Brien,
the one representing the old ring and the other
the new rings, including the jackknives, the
Mantilini democrats and all the huckleberry
combination. Tho Tammany General Com
mittee numbers between three and four hun
dred men, from all the wards Of the city,
representing all crecds, all natonalities Except
the African and Chinese), and all the demo-
cratic cliques and factions. Tweed, however,
it is generally believed, will poll a heavy
majority of the committee against OBrien;
but If the OBrien coalition mean "war to the
knife" we may look for secession if they cannot
control the committee.
The trial, we presume, in the committee
will be made upon the question of new City
Charter, and some compromise from Tweed is
spoken Of which may conciliate the jackknives.
But they are very sore from their terrible
chastisement Of Tuesday, and old soldiers say
they mean mischief; that, in short, their pur-
pose is to ssmash the machine" Their
strength lies in detached districts, while the
strength OF Tammany lies in the general vote
of the city; and herein lies the main issue
between the Tammany regulars and the young
militia. So 1t is feared that if the jackknves
cannot be given full swing in elections by
wards and districts they will be satisfied with
nothing but the head Of Tweed in basket.
From all that we can learn Of the preliminary
movements for this General Committee meet
ing, Sachem Tweed on the occasion will loom
up among the small fry in all the glory of the
Great Mogul and Sheriff O'Brien and his
coalition, lacking the all-mportant essentials
of cash, numbers and discipline, will be as
signally swamped in the Wigwam as they were
in the Assembly. But what then? That is
the question which only the meeting can
answer.

ssTHE PACIFIC ARMY OF FRANCE. The
school teachers Of France presented an ad-
dress, by delegation, to the Emperor Napoleon
at the Tuileries the other day. His Majesty,
in reply to aAinquiry on the subject, was in
formed by member of the Cabinet that there
were forty-fve thousand schoolmasters in
France, and replied, sIt Is an army-the
pacific army Of France" Memorable words.
The Emperor then introduced the Prince I'm
perial to the delegates-a happy introduce
ton, and one by which the greatest of the
French revolutions has been accomplished.

Dress Fashions In Earoye-A Paris Osus-
ell ON Spring styles. 81


The special fashions correspondence from
Paris which appears In our columns to-dy
reports matter Of joyous and enlivenisg imprt
for the use of that elegant, accomplished aid
really influential and national class pf orr
readers-the ladies of America. The conn
nication breathes freshly Of the balmy srin9
and augurs hopefully for pleasing sumner.
II promulgates the dress toilet canons of IA
hour, and in this respect bids fair to enlighta
the gloom and-n it be at all possible to do
so-harmonize the worldwide distractions
which have ensued and are still flowing
from the proceedings of the Ecumenical Coun-
Gil In Rome. Our fashions letter speaks OF the
unities and beauties which result from the exer-
else Of science and skill when directed to the
comfort of mortals here below /; Of the hons0
tactus adj unguems-or humanity ''made up"
by the modiste and milliner-as it was pre-
sented in ancient Rome, while the schema and
written arguments Of the Ponti6cal Fathers aa
expressed In the modern Holy City tend very
strongly to confuse the minds Of the peoples ia
a most unhappy direction as to the immortali-
ties in the hereafter.
Hoping for the best on both sides of the
grave our special fashions writer proceeds to
tell us all about garments of much mystical
sublimity," the garments of the season. A
petticoat Of most bewildering combination
and elegant trimmings is described, and hats
and gloves, and bonnets and boots, and full
dresses and outdoor dresses and evening CO.'S
tunes follow rapidly in successive detail.
The dress materials most in vogue are reported,
fact Of considerable interest to our New
York merchants and storekeepers. It is
unnecessary to recapitulate the main points Of
this fashions letter here, useless to run from
slippers to sleeves again, as it is absolutely
certain that the despatch will be read and
studied in its entirety by thousands Of spar
king eyes before Monday afternoon-we say
Monday, as the religious young ladies will only
s'hear Of it" to-day, the Sabbath.

The TWEED is one Of the brightest and sun
niest of the sunny rivers Of Scotland. Its prin-
cipal affluents are the Gala, Leader and Adder.
By singular coincidence the juvenile de-
mocracy Of New York, in attempting to dam
the American Tweed, have only given an oppor-
tunity for the object of their condemnation to
make Scala" days for his friends, to establish
himself as 'Leader' of the democracy, and,
If necessity requires, to enable him to give his
enemies the sharp sting of the "Adder."

THE CUBANs, it seems, have finally deter
mined, if the United States does not recognize
them by the end of the month, to recall all
their absentees and carve out their own saliva
ton without looking to us further for. aid.
With all kindness to the Cubans we must say
that it looks as if they could not do better.

A GLOSSY ARRAY OF CoLoRED ARIsrooRAoY
was visible in private box at the National
theatre in Washington on Friday evening,
enjoying Joe Jefferson's Rip Van Wiukle.
Like Old Rip they have awakened to a vivid
sense Of change Of condition, and, like him,
are determined to let the doubling Washington
villagers know that they are alive to the
prospects Of social equality.

One MORE STEP FOR THE WOMEN. .-Gradu-
ally the women are forcing their way into
every channel Of active life. 1t is now an old
story to hear of women graduating in our
medical schools; the women brokers In
Wall street have ceased to be a sensation, as
have also the women jurors In Wyoming. 1t
was time, therefore, that the sex should take
one step more, and the step seems to be taken
by Brooklyn lady, who the other day was
graduated from a law school at st. Lons and
admitted to the bar.

The ST. DOMINGO TREATY.-It now appears
that Baez's messenger bearing the official vote
on annexation in St. Domingo has not yet
reached Washington. Several new documents
bearing. on the treaty have been furnished the
Senate by the Secretary Of State. The Senate
was not in session yesterday, and the treaty
was not, therefore, officially discussed; but it
will lose nothing by delay, except, probably,
from the fact that the time for exchange Of
ratHcations is drawing near, and it will gain
considerably by discussion. The friends Of
the treaty cannot do better than to ventlate it
as much as possible

Grant has again shown his practical common
sense by discountenancing the proposed recon-
struction raid on Tennessee. He takes the
ground that he cannot constitutionally send
troops to Tennessee at the Governors request
unless the Legislature cannot be convened,
which he does not believe is the case.

OUR CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN Cor
EEspoNDENoE, printed in another page, will be
found to contain the latest and most interest
ing news from the United States of Colombia
and the republics of Peru and Chile. 1t is
most gratifying to learn that the fruits Of peace,
advancement and Improvement, are making
themselves evident in those countries to which
we have just referred. The day of telegraphs,
railroads, public instruction and national i'm
provements is about to dawn on those nations,
and with its coming we may expect to hear
less Of those unfortunate revolutions which
always retard progress and tend to the de-
moralization of peoples.

An Attempt to Ruin Broadway.

Nothing can be imagined more ruinous to
property holders and business people on
Broadway than the preposterous Arcade Rail-
road. It is worse than any underground job
before or since contemplated. It makes an
entirely new street beneath that thoroughfare
and undermines every portion Of it. In its
construction business will be at complete
standstill there, and the cost must be some
thing enormous. 1t is one of the widest and
most insane schemes that ever entered the
mind of contractor or lobbyist, and it's
utter impracticabiity alone should Danish it at
once from the mind of any sensible or right
thinking person. 1t would be impossible to
calculate the extent to which it would depreci-
ate property on Broadway and injure trade
there. The process of constructing this
Utopian affair would damage the street to
the amount of twenty millions Of dollars,
and that would not represent the actual
amount of loss to property on that
thoroughfare. The proposed underground
street would be wholly untenantable
on account Of the poisonous atmosphere and
racket of constantly passing trains. The tun-
mel or pneumatic plans are less Objectionable,
as they do not disturb the surface of the street
to the same extent. The Arcade Railroad is
simply gigantic scheme concocted by insanity
and fraud of the most inexcusable kind. 1t
is looming up again in the Legislature and an
effort will probably be made during this seS-
sion to secure charter. But we have a
better opinion Of our lawmakers than to think
they would consent to such Quixotic and villa
nousjob. Even if they grant charter to this
company it is more than likely that the funds
to carry out the enterprise will not be forth
coming. We earnestly advise our legislators
to consider the magnitude of the job and
show little consideration towards the tax
payers by consigning it to merited oblivion.

The Fenian ovation to John Savage,
at Redwood Park, yesterday, was an
immense affair. Numerous pleasant
little discussions of a lively character
with fists and sticks took place, but the
military promptly interfered, to pre-
vent a fatal result, on every occasion.
On the return trip several persons
were badly injured, but no lives were
lost. Resolutions denunciatory Of
England, declaring that the brutal
treatment of Fenian prisoners by
England is sufficient justification for
any retaliatory measures by the Fe-
mans at home OF abroad, were adopted
unanimously.

ELKO ITEMS.

from the Independent Of Saturday.
There are now "a flrSt-class teams
on the road between Elko and the mill
ing districts southward-thc White
Pine trade employing most of them.
Twenty small teams of four and six
animals, are also on the road. Seven
large mule teams are in town loading
up. Our forwarding merchants are
now paying three cents per pound to
frst-class teams to Hamilton.
The toll road up the canyon, in rail-
road district, to accommodate the mi
ners, has been completed. The Bull
lion, Richmond and Brown mines have
large quantities of ore OH their dumps
awaiting shipment. Now that teams
can reach the mines, we may look for
quite q brisk trade in the hauling OF
ore to this point for shipment below.
T~hirty-flyc hundred dollars were
paid, on Thursday, by Page, Of San
Francisco, to one of the locators of
the Mountain City mine. This throws
the mine into the hands of a few men
who arc abundantly able and willing
to develope it. The company will
put up reduction works at an early
day.
We saw here at the express office
Yesterday about 200 pounds Of ore
from the Mountain City mine, In
Cope district, that was ahead of any
thing in the ore line ever brought i'll
from that district. 1t was taken out
OIL Saturday last, and will be sent to
