While the honest voting masses OF the
Republican party are DESTROYS of having
an honest, economical administration
of government, these men, backed by
an immense corruption fund, raised by all
manner of ~isiRinous means, control the
nominating Conventions, and by fraud
and chicsnery and despicable ~falsehooti,
induce the rank and hle Of the party to
support the ticket put up, which gene
rally consists Of ten corrupt TO two honest
men. -
The Radical officials in washington
seem as utterly careless about srresting
and presenting defaulters, as though
they were public benefactors. The only
wonder is that the honest masses of the
Republican party have so long acted IN
concert with leaders who fatty refuse 10

criminals of the country. a.
1t is doubtful whether the charg,s
against Butler will be pushed much fst-

his crime in the cadet business, and, so

acknowledge amy thing they please with
equal impunisy. RI

The Mcfarland Trial.
Thursdays Observation-Disclosures from
News Columns.

New YORK, April 7.-Dr. Swan testified full
ly to the medical treatment of Richardson, both
on direct and cross examination.
[Q-Were you present at the ceremony which
took place on the 3Oth Of November, to which
Richardson was patty?
Being objected to, Mr.. Graham argued that
he had a right to show what excitement de-
ceased was subjected to that accelerated his
DEATH and with which his client had nothing
to do. He would show that they called a bias
phemous ceremony to their aid, not for mar
rage, but that they might secure the property
OF the dying man. If those men who were
called to his aid helped to kill him. had he not
the right to show that to the jury? That des-
ecrating proceeding was but the elimination
OF a conspiracy organized by the imam Gus gang
in such fearful occurrence. They coull show
that the deceased had in his possession CODY
OF an intercepted letter that should have put
him on his guard against acting the part he
did; If Doctors Beecher and rockingham
bad done their duty that blasphemous marriage
ceremony would never have taken place.
Richardson was unable to determine about
taking that woman for his wife, aud they took
advantage of his weakness. The ceremony
was carried out in pursuance of design of a
match mating woman who aban joined her hus-
band in consequence of his poverty and took
up with Richardson in order to get hold of his
property. Question excluded.
Mr.. Graham then showed a Photograph of
Mrs. Richardson to witness, and asked to have
it shown to the Jury. Objection was taken by
Mr.. Garvin and sustained.
Dr. Sayre was called by the prosecution, but
not being in court, the District Attorney rested
the case.
Mr. Graham then argued that the prosecu-
ton failed to establish the case, in failing to
prove that Richardson died solely by the act of
Mcfarland, and asked the Court to instruct
the jury to give verdict for acquittal, which
the Court declined to d.
The Court then adjourned to allow Mr.. Spen-
Ger time to prepare tor opening the defence to-
morrow.

be OF that class oil ISLANDERS which every public
man suffered. In the same place where be
MADE the assertion he felt 1t due to that gen.
tieman, Mr.. Schenck, as well as himself to make
so far as he could, reparation.
Mr.. Scbenck said he accepted the reparation
IN the same spirit in which lie believed it had
been offered. He felt perfectly confident when
be challenged investigation long ago, as to
what the result of any investigation into any
thing impeaching his integrity would be, and
was glad that in the same place and by the
against him had been thrown out there was
now such retraclion made as would 60 to the
world
Mr.. Buffers motion to strike out the clause
was rejected and the section stands as report
The next paragraph, on cotton spool thread
Mr. Schepck moved to amend SO as to read on
spool thread of cotton 6 cents per dozen spools
containing on one spool not more than 100
yards of thread, and for every additional 1OO
yards or fraction or part thereof in excess of
100 yards on each spool 6eents per dozen spools
and 30 per cent. ad valorem In addition to the
above rates.
Mr.. Allison moved to make it cents per
dozen spools, and said the present rates were
from % to u per cent on the value of the arti-
Gle. This amendment would reduce it from 30
enough.
Messrs. Maynard, Dawes and Wasbburue of
Massachusetts,. opposed Mr.. Allison's amend
ment.
Mr.. Brooks of New York, moved to reduce
the rate to cents per dozen spools, and said
that there were two and a half millions seam
stresses in the country who al: wanted snool
cotton at the lowest possible price, while there
was not 10000 laborers producing it in this
country, and yet two and half millions of the
women were to be taxed for the benefit of the
10000 'aborers.
Mr.. Dawes replied that they did not nav a
penny per hundred spools more for thread
made in Massachusetts and Philadelphia, and
he would not put female operatives in this
country on level with those on the other side
of the water as to wages.
Mr.. Brooks amendment was rejected, and
without disposing of the other amendments the
committee rose and the House adjourned.

CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE sPANIAKDs.
HAVANA, April 7-OAicial dispatches have
been received from Captain General De Rodas
at Puerto Principe, announcing great reaction
in the insurrectionary district in favor OF the
Spaniards. Presentations of persons to the
Spanish authorities for protection continues.
Ten columns of Spanish troops left Puerto
Principe with instructions to divide into small
parties. Each column was under sealed orders
from the Captsin General. The rebel General
Agramont lately hung man to tree in the
road leading into Puerto Principe, with an in
scription pinned TO him, Executed for trying
to surrender" The towns of Carrorro, Siba-
nicu and Guaymaro have been strongly foItifi-
ed by the Spanish troops Companies of vol
unteers are being organized in those towns,
which will be composed entirely OF Cubans,
and as soon as they are equipped will proceed
to the field: Two hundred Spaniards from
garrison at Puerto Principe marched into the
town OF Santa Cruz, whence they captured
and executed three rebel colonies named Rec
CO. CanciO and Medina.
spanish dispatches report the rebel General
Jordan has certainly fed the country and that
the - main body of insur .ents, consisting of 800
IS commanded by Gen. Agramont.

srftt AsorHrR.-rhs Alcsons entered the
masquerade arena last evening at Fluents
Hall, and gave one of the most brilliant bal
aasques of the season. Everything about the
affair was first class. The hall is one of the
best in the city, large, well lighted and beauti.
full. Chandler furnished the music, which is
sufficient assurance of its excellence. The
costumes Of the masqueraders were very d-
versa, some Of them being rich and beautiful,
while others were evidently got up for the pur-
pose Of exciting the rsibiities of the spectators
The DISCUSSES were very perfect, and when the
masks came off the dancers found they had
scared up many new acquaintance. An ex-
cellent supper was served, and after it was dis
posed of the floor of the hall again resounded
with merry steps till the strokes of the clock
had grown few and many again.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
"OLD LADIES HOME We would call the at
tention of the public to this announcement IN
the column under the head OF amusements
1t will be seen that Capt. Smith, OF the Eng
lish steamer Peruvian, assisted by ladies and
gentlemen of this city, will give this entertain
ment in aid of one of the best charitable in
sttutions of our city, and we trust a generous
response will not be wanting on the part of
our citizens to make this noble affair success.
Let not our people by indifference in this
cause, subject themselves to the reproach of
being less interested in the charities of our
city, than the stranger, who comes to our aid
from across the Atlantic, laden with those
kindly impulses, which prompt his exertions
for our aged and homeless moor.

We are happy to add that several in fuen

some time ago and are now circulating peti
ton to the Post Master General to change the
name of the post Office to FITcHByRG, which
not only is a name more euphouious and sug
gestive of civilization and modern enterprise
but is historically correct, Judge Fitch having
been for years the owner of large portion o
the village.
