WALL STREET-ON THE OTHER TACK.--The
few days Of summary dulness the stock mar
ket became suddenly active yesterday, and
t'bulls" and ''bears' started in harmonious
campaign against the public whom the ''bulls"
seduced into the market for the grand spring
rise in stocks. The decline yesterday is only
another lesson to those who think the high
road to wealth lies through Wall street.

A STRANGE TRAGEDY is reported from North
Carolina. Ex-senator j. W. Stevens was
missed on Saturday night, and after thorough
search was found yesterday morning hanging
in a private room of The Court House, the
door Of which was locked, dead, with stab
wound in his throat The murderers' cum
ming evidently ''o'erleaped ITSELF" and what
might through less artifice have been mistaken
for suicide was clearly shown to be murder.

'sTHE BooT ON THE OTHER LEG. Recently
wife belonging to one ofthe upper crust families
in town in Iowa sued for divorce from her
husband, alleging cruel ill-treatment, &C. On
the trial it appeared that the boot was entirely
on the other leg, and that if either were en-
titled to a divorce it was the husband, who
was in reality the outraged party. The appli-
cation of the wife was thereupon refused
Would il not present novel state Of society if
it were possible to procure and publish list
of wives abused by their husbands and the
number of husbands who are henpecked and

ever heard Of man claiming divorce on ac-
count of being henpecked? And yet, from all
accounts, the henpecked husband suffers the
most excruciating domestic tyranny conceiv-
able. And it is precisely in these upper crust
circles, as we find in this Western divorce
case. that these instances OF domestic infelicity
occur-especially il the husband be u poor, i'm
pecunious fellow and the wife rich heiress.

'.No IRISH NEED APPLY" The San Fran
cisco Monitor, organ of the Irish adopted citi-
zens in California, has taken list of the
county and city officers of San Francisco, with
the nativity or birthplace of each man. From
this it appears that Of the one hundred and
twenty officers in San Francisco city and
county there are only ten Irishmen. The
Monitor claims that if the Irish had the pro-
portion OF the Offices their numbers entite
them to they would certainly have between
one-third and one-half instead of less than
twentieth. Unlike the democracy of New
York, ii is intmated that in the ranks of the
party in California there exists an element
hostile to the Irish which keeps them down.
This is certainly an anomalous condition Of
things for the democracy anywhere. But per-
haps the California democrats are looking after
Johnny Coolie and letting honest Pat go by the
board. They had better stick to PAT.

India Cotton aud tho Meditorrnncsn Ports'
The Suez Canal. SO long decried. begins at
length, even after but few months Of regular
service, to reveal Its immense utility. AS tele-
grams from London now frankly admit, one
half of the cotton that is sent from India to
Europe already passes through that new
channel Of trade. Weeks ago we had occa-
sion to note the wonderful rapidity Of the
transit by which the raw material from Bonn
bay reached Liverpool via Suez, was manu-
factured into cloth and was reshipped for the
return trip within the lapse of forty days
from its first embarkation. But now appears
another remarkable feature in this surprising
change. BY the admission of the British mer-
chants themselves not one-half Of this cotton
now goes all the way to England, but is taken
up and consumed en- route at the Mediterra-
mean ports. We feel safe in suggesting that
the Adriatic cities Ancona, Venice and Trieste
also come In for a goodly share. The Italian
and Austrian merchants were in the field at the
first moment, and have established regular lines
Of trading steamers between their ports and
the Egyptian entrep6t at the mouth Of the canal
The Italians, particularly, are exhibiting unex-
pected enterprise in this matter, and the new
born activity Of their manufactures may be in
ferred from their ready and large consumption
of the raw material Palermo, Naples, Leg
horn and Genoa are regainiug their old pros :
perity and energy, and thus we see commerce
and industry going hand in hand with science
and free institutions.
In a word, the projectors Of the Suez Canal
wrought even better than they knew, and
henceforth whatever may be the difficulty and
expense of keeping this great water highway
Of the East clear of the desert sand, the golden
profits Of the splendid new trade that it creates
can well afford percentage for the purpose.
When the ship canal across the Italian PENN
sula, now talked Of by engineers, shall have
been carried through, and the Mont Gents
| tunnel completed, Us it will be in another
twelyemonth should no fresh turmoil in
Europe arrest their operations, we shall behold
the Levant, the Mediterranean and the Adri-
attic swarming with busy steamers, and the
whole East on fire with the life-giving and not
destroying flame of modern progress.

Nor QUITE ENOUGH. And now the cry is
raised by the Jesuiticsl daily which shines for
all that the Irish get no Offices here worth hav-
ing, either for honor or profit, and it is uttered
as reproach that we do not make an Irish
man either Mayor or Governor. So the public
may make up its mind that these places are
wanted also for some new cousins from tho
| old sod.

An IpfernaI Crime.

The crime charged against man named
Lange, dealer in picture frames in this city,
is one that should give him a preeminence in
the criminal catalogue for diabolical intent.
lie shipped box in April last on the New
Orleans steamer and secured an insurance on
it of one thousand six hundred and fifty dol
lars, and the box proved to have been pre-
pared with explosive and inflammable material,
and was only prevented from burning the ship
by the watchfulness and activity of the cap
tain In the box were vessels of alcohol,
gasoline and turpcntine, and fire was appar-
emily to have been set to these by chemical
that would explode with slight friction. The
box, who, in gnawing their way out, were to
fire the train that might have destroyed the
ship and all her company at sea. Here, then,
is, if the charge prove true, man who delib-
cratey contrives that awful calamity, fire, on
ship at sea--contrives the possible frightful
death Of twenty or thirty persons-to secure
the small prize of sixteen hundred dollars IN
surauce money. He should be tried by jury
of sea captains and sailors. 1t is remarkable
coincidence that this crime was attempted
against the steamer George Washington, while Q
some years since a crime of the same nature
was contrived in the shipment of goods on the
Mississippi steamer Martha Washington.

FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE IN ENGLAND. -
Premier Gladstones bill for the abolition of
University tests (religious) in Great Britain
was debated at its second reading in the Bri-
tish House OF Commons yesterday. Messrs.
Newdegate, Walpole and Mowbray opposed it
warmly. The measure passed the second
reading-the vital parliamentary test--by a
majority of 125 Notwithstanding. Looks bad
for Lothar and Disraeli Cabinet.

THE CUBANs IN THE FIELD. We publish on
another page an interesting description of the
progress Of the Cuban revolution. The ac-
count is from gentleman who has had ample
facilities for judging by personal observation
of the prospects for the success or failure of
the revelation. For time he was with the
insurgents, and is. therefore, in position to
inform us pretty clearly of how and where they
live and their manner Of conducting the cam
paign. Our informant also explains the manu-
facture OF The so-called ''Spanish victori es"
which since the outbreak of the rebellion at
Yara we have been accustomed TO hear of on
an average of twice each week. Why the
Cuhans will not fight is accounted for in very
satisfactory manner, and their judgment is
certainly not in error in the adoption of such
a course all things considered.

The Universal Evangelical Council i'm New
York.


York.
Our cable kilograms from Europe indicate
that the religious and Christian mind Of che
Old World is being directed still more devoutly
towards New York. The Lord Mayor of
London presided over meeting in the Man
sion House yesterday, at which action was
taken with regard to sending British deputa-
ton to the Worlds Evangelical Council
which is to be held in New York. The
assemblage was brilliant, devout and fervent
in expression. A delegation will be sent TO
New York to speak in the name of the Church
of Great Britain. This assemblage will take
the ''shine" off the Papal Council completely.
1t will be Worlds Church Council, not a
Council of the Vatican, and held in New
York instead of Rome. Had Pope Plus
TX. attended to the advice of the HERALD,
aud held his Ecumenical Council in
this city first, he would have ''headed
off" the opposition evangelists to some ex-
tent. His Holiness is too late now. The Old
New World fount and centre of inspiration,
and return from this city to refresh religion
in Europe, Asia and Africa. The delegates
will slake their pious thirst in the consecrated
wells of the island of hattan''the holy
wells the aged, yet fresh and pure'-and then
proclaim to the regenerated old lands: GA
thousand ages rolled away and still these
founts endure" The Pope made grand
mistake in clinging so pertnaciously to Rome.

OUR EUROPEAN DEsPAToHEs BY MAIL
The European mail OF the 10th OF May was
delivered at the HERALD Building yesterday
morning. Our special correspondence from
Paris published to-day is Of quite an
important character. The writer exposes
the designs which were entertained
by the French radicals and ''Reds"
their opposition to the pJebiscitum
He shows that they contemplated and had
arranged for revolution, entirely regardless
of the consequences. 1t is made patent, also,
by our special letter. that the French people
the industry, education, morals, finance and
capital of the millions--were directly opposed
to disorganizers and hence the triumph of the
present Bonaparte dynasty as the executive ex-
emplar Of law and order. Our European mail
budget supplies also other interesting details of
our cable news kilograms of the above date.

A New OEDRE or PANEL THIEVES
s'Anonyma, that wonderful enchantress who,
in London, has turned the heads Of all the
young men, taken them away from the less
piquant society OF young ladies Of good char
acter, and, in snort, is accused OF undermining
what little morality is left here, has found a
formidable rival. Some men have been
arrested at the theatre disguised as women,
whose houses, upon examination, proved to be
grand reservoirs Of women's wearing apparel,
perfect arsenals Of the weapons with which
women make war upon men, from dimity caps
to bewldering forests of founces. These fel-
lows were doubtless thieves who simulated the
charms of the sex to inveigIe the victims whom
they had picked out for plunder In fact, they
were playing something rather larger than the
''panel game, but not altogether unlike it.
Perhaps the exposure of their operations may
benefit London morality for who will be led
astray by Anonyma when she may at any
moment turn out to be q strapping rascal dis
guised for robbery?

They know that in his own party large
element was warning against his succession
and vould continue so to do to the bite
end. They knew that he had been untrue
TO his constituents, to the district he repre-
sented, to Adams county and the city Of
Quincy. 1t is the nature of the man.
Treschery and deception, dishonesty and
fraud have been his stock in trade. He
commenced operations with this kind OF
capital years ago. In his greed for money
he is ever charged with attempting to sell
out and hand over to a one horse ferry
company, his own home, the city of Rock

fed and fostered him, under the heel OF

Mr.. Hawley's shallow attempts to vindicsse

turned the shrewd heads that caucus at the

deduction, then, is that the Office

And so it goes-the price OF Wheat.
In 1866 a bushel of wheat was worth

it was worth S20S; in 1869 it was worth
Sl.37 now it is worth s %.
Down, down, down goes the wheat!
Up, up, up, keep the taxes
In 1870 the farmer pays precisely the
same revenue tax, income tax, stamp tax.
tariff tax, and other tax that he did in 1866.
While his taxes keep up, his wheat and
other products have gone down, until now
it takes more than double the amount of
wheat to pay his taxes that it did in 1866.
And Just so it is with the laboring man
His taxes are the same they were four
years ago.
The price he gets for days work is but
little over half what it was then, consequent
ly it takes two months labor now to pay his
taxes when it to ok only one in 1866. And
if radicalism succeeds in supporting coolies
as well as it has succeeded during the past
year, it will not be ighteen months until thir
ty cents day will be the price of days
work here, Just as it is now in the shops and
on the railroad where coolies are working.

Do you not see in this picture a striking
resemblance to Hswley. He voted with
Schenck in favor of all the tariff robberies
and should be served accordingly. Hawley,
with ring in his nose, was led to vote for
and enact the infamies that defeated
Schenck. Put him down. also.
