We ore puined to chroicle the death
Of our friend and esteemed fellow
Citizen, NJ. E. Kenny, Esq, who was
killed yesterday afternoon ut the Fair
Grounds, where he was contending for
the prize in the grand tournament as
one Of the knights. We were within
short distance of him whom tho hor.
rible accident which deprived him of
life SO suddenly took place. Mr..
Kenny had just finished n gallant run
at the head and rings, and was riding
back to the starting point In company
with Mr.. High,owcr, of Griffin, a
br"thor knight when, in friendly
spirit Of emulation, both engaged in q
race fora short distance. Mr.. Kenny
was riding worry wild horse aud
when near tho point whero the horses
of tho waiting knights were grouped,
o loose horse ran across the track.
Mr.. Hightowor's horse collidod with
the animal, and lie was thrown from
his horse, severely injuring himself.
Mr. Konny's horse SHE'D, and rau
with fearful force against the fcucc,
throwing bis rider over it down the
embankment. Mr.. Kenny struc!;
with his head against stump, which
inflicted deep and fatal wound over
the left eye, fracturing hie skull, and
producing death in about three
minutes. When Dr.. Godfrey hurried
to tho spot, he found tho heart still
beatings but all attempts to save his
life failed. His remains were placed
in wagon and taken to his home in
the western part of the city, accom-.
panied in mournful procession by tho
knights, in their uniforms, in body.

FscHrsR AND Mss LEcLERcQ.-The
New York Star says Of this dramatic
couple:
Fechter receives regularly his $500
per night, and sleeps calmly on it. Miss
Carlotta Leclercq, who supports him in
the leading roles, has q regular contract
with Fechter, to receive one fifth Of his
net profits, and this arrangement has
subsisted between them for some eight
or nine years. They are necessary to
each other in an artistic sense, and wor-
thily support each other. The taking
away of one would be serious bar TO
the success of the other. Some time
since, it was said in Boston paper that
Miss Leclercq was Fechter's wife. This
is untrue, and Fechter wrote letter
stating so. He said he looked upon
Miss LeclercQ as a dear sister and friend,
and great artist. Thather loss would
take away half the FIRE be possessed, and
that he hoped as long as he lived to have
her by his side, to share his artistic
triumphs. The history of the connect
ion between the two is most Interesting.
Miss Leclercq is one of three sisters, all
of whom are ballet dancers in London.
Fechter, about eleven years ago, one
night dropped into Soldiers Wells,
where he saw Miss Charlotte Leclercq,
and observed the genius she infused into
The next day he offered 10
adopt her artistically, and took her away
from her dancing, and gradually, by
careful tutelage, made her the actress
she is to day-that is, one of the fore
most of the age.

AN EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION has
been issued by the slave-holding gov
eminent of Cuba This time it is my
bull that goes your OK. Captain General
De Rodas has issued an order which is
virtualrepetition of President Lincoln's
Proclamation of Emancipation. He has
declared free all slaves of all insurgents
and all slaves who have in any manner
displayed a disposition to aid the Span
ish cause. This is Ligh bid for sue
cess. Let him go further and give free
dom to all the blacks who will side with
Spain and stick to his bargain. and the
Spanish power in Cuba will be reinsta-
ted without delay. This policy of the
Cuban Captain General smacks of more
sagaci,y than nything which has ever
before emanated from Spanish ruler in
that island. This is, perhaps, the we'll
learned lesson which the rebel war in
the United States has taught these
Cuban slave-bolders-thatt to gain their
own point, they must concede to the
slave the great point toward the attain
ment of which the hopes Of all his life
are constantly directed-the acquisition
of his liberty. The larger the scope of
in Cuba-made by Span
ish authority-the easier and more GER
tain the success of the Spanish arms.

From the Pail Mall Gazette, April 81
At Bow street great crowd assemb
led this morning 10 hear the evidence
against the gentlemen who had been de-
tected BY the Police in frequenting the
Strand Theatre dressed as women.
Their names were Ernest Boulton, aged
twenty-five, of 43 Shirland road, Pad
diugton, gentleman, aud Frederick Will
liam Park. aged ,wen,y-,hree, of 13
Bruton street, Berkeley Square, law stu
dent. Hugh Alexander Mundell, aged
twenty-three, of l5S Buckingham Pa
lace road, gentleman, was charged with
having been found 10 company with the
prisoners, but be told the Police and as
sured the Magistrate that he believed
they were women. He had met them
on a previous evening, and had agreed
to accompany them 10 the theatre. The
evidence of the Police went to show that
the prisoners were dressed in a fashion
able manner as women-in fact, they
appeared to-day in Court attired as they
were at the theatre last night.
Boulton was dressed in fashionable GRIM
son silk, trimmed with white lace. He wore
faxen wig with plated chignon. His arms
and neck we're bare. He had bracelets. and
a white lace shawl round his shoulders. Park
wore green satin dress with pannier, fiaxen
wig curled, white kid gloves, bracelets, and
black lace shawl over his shoulders. On
their rooms being searched, quantities of
women's clothing and jewelry were found, as
well as number of chignons. There were
also photographs of the prisoners dressed as
women in various styles. On being cross
examined, the officers stated they did not see
the prisoners commit any act of improperly;
they were, however, bowling to gentlemen in
the stalls. They had been seen about the
theatre for a fortnight, but it was not sup
posed that they were men.
Mr.. Flowers said that the completeness of
the disguise only made the offense the great
er. He should have taken them for women
himself The defense was that the disguise |
was assumed "for a lark" Mr.. Flowers re-
fused to believe this. He thought it quite
possible that Mundell might have been de-
ceived, and would therefore allow him to go |
On entering into recognizance of 500. The
others would be remanded without bail.

SENATOR Cassidy, true to the pur'
poses. not to say principles, of the Gre
generated Democracy" is opposed to the
passage of the Bill now before Congress
providing ways and means for the en-
forcement of the Fifteenth Amendment.
He quotes Maryland, Kentucky and New
Jersey elections to prove that such a
law is unnecessary, entirely ignoring the
opinions and acts of his Democratic con-
stituents in California. While this man
ner of treating the question is not alto
gether ingenious, it is indicative of a
lack of respect for Joe Hamilton, Gov
ernor Haight, Long Primer Hall and the
rest of the Constitutional luminaries
who are the Senator's rear guard.
Stewards conjectures are undoubtedly
correct-there being good reasons for
suspecting that the copperhead States
are only waiting for Congress to adjourn
to take such steps as would exclude col
ored men from participation in the Con-
gressional elections of next Fall. We
wonder that there should be any delay
in the passage of the Bill.

"a Cold Suap.O

We have had, for eight or ten days, ga
cold snap, covering, we calculate, more than
four-fifths of the area of the United States,
leaving Alaska out to itself in the cold. From
our observations and recollections of years
past, however, "a cold snap" at Christmas is
no extraordinary thing, but is a visitation to
be expected, as is, too "a warm SPELL" with
snow and rain and slush, about New Year.
But why so? Briefly it is because the Earth,
in its daily revolutions on its axis and in its
yearly circuit around the glorious Sun, comes
about the 2lst of December to what we may
call careen from the northward, like that of
ship tacking on high wave. Hence these
rough, cold winds from the North Pole about
Christmas. Within eight or ten days, the
Earth having settled upon her keel again. we
have the reactionary winds from the South,
and hence the warm spell about New Year,
with its snow, sleet, thaw, rain and slush
The rule, we think, is established, and fail
ure is only an exception to the rule.

Nscc FOane ON tho Alabama Ciaiivss
correspondent, writing to us on Reveidy
Johnson's letter to Mr.. John A. Parker rela-
tive to the Alabama claims, suggests that the
ex-Minister does not go far enough in his
statement of the facts. For example, where
Mr.. Johnson says the underwriters have paid
all the claims Of the owners of vessels for
losses sustained by the Alabama, amounting
to the sum of $l2, ,649, 900, our correspondent
argues that this does not cover the entire loss.
The extra insurance charged by the insurance
companies upon all vessels in consequence ofthe
terror inspired by the Alabama is not covered by
the amount named above. This is loss thattel
generally upon insurers and the country, and
is not estimated. Now suppose the insurance
companies get back the twelve millions and
upwards they have paid for losses by the Ala
bama, they will then be gamers to the amount
Of the extra insurance they charged on all
vessels. In short, the destruction by the Ala
bama will prove to them a most profitable
thing. The point our correspondent makes.
then, Is that If the insurance companies get
back the money they have paid on the loss of
vessels the insurers generally who paid an
extra premium or rate of insurance ought to
get back also the extra amount they paid to
the companies. This is q nice point, and as
Mr.. Reverdy johnson is an eminent lawyer
and statesman perhaps he will throw some
light upen il.

Ostentafious LiberaIity.

Inc recent contribution of fifty thousand
dollars by William M Tweed to the poor Of
the Seventh ward might have been all very
"eii II there had not been so much parade and
ostentation about it. The Scriptural adjura-
tion, ''Let not thy right hand know what thy
left hand doeth, has been signally dsregarded
in this case, and exposes the donor of the con-
tribution to the imputation of having some hid
den and selfish motive in making it. There
are, no doubt, hundreds of private citizens Of
New York who have made as munidcent dona-
nations to the poor and the world has never
known word OF it. In the present instance
the contribution, it appears, is to be placed in
the hands of committee, with Mr.. Tweed
himself as the honorary head thereof. Who is
to know how, when and where the money is
expended, or whether it is expended at all, or
whether the bulk of it does not find
its way among the feeces Of Mr..
Tweed's myriads of ''pet lambs?" Taken in q
political point of view, the notoriety given to
this affair will have the effect of causing the
people to think that the charges of corruption
against the Iammany ring are correct, and
that this Tweed fifty thousand dollar gift en-
terprise is simply salvs to cover numerous
jobs and contracts and schemes for public
plunder, for which Tammany has been re-
peatedly arraigned before the bar Of public
opinion. Instead of having beneficial, it is
more likely to have damaging effect upon the
political plans of Tammany. Will not people
say, swell, what of this fifty thousand dollar
donation? Is it not only restoring to the
people an atom, small as single sand upon
the seashore, of what is their own? Has not
the donor given as much for private stable
as he has appropriated in this pompous way
for the relief Of the poor of the Seventh ward?
Why, the price of one of his horse blankets
would keep whole family in the ward in pro-
visions for month.
But, whatever its political effect may be, il
would have been much wiser for Mr.. Tweed to
have made his contribution quietly and unos-
tentatiously, than to have had it emblazoned
to the world in the glaring manner it has
been,
