:, Iaaproced.-The appearance of Capitol
Square has been considerably improved by
taking down the rickety old wood ratings
on some of the benches-which was done
this morning. If the authorities would
now substitute comfortable seats for the
present miserable things used, the Square
would be really inviting.

4 Lmchbwg Speculatioa.--We met an
old friend Of ours from Lynchburg on yes
terday, who congratulated us on our pro-
position made several days ago, TO CONSOLE
date Lynchburg and Fort Snacks, also on
our article descriptive of Gov. Walkers
new moving machine. He informs us that
the question of CONSOLIDATION" is not a
new one about Lynshburg, having been in
troduced there by Gen. Malone, short
time after the close of the war, but, that
the opposition to it is hourly growing less.
The importance Of consolidating Snackville
and Lynchburg is conceded by all, and
would have been accomplished before this,
but Snackyille objects to the bad looks of
the market-house, declining to consolidate
as long as that is in the way. Being
a shrewd politician, having most got to Con-
gress, he has lately interested himselfin the
matter and has succeeded in allaying much
Of the bitter feeling of the citizens of Snack
vile, by agreeing to purchase the market
house from Lynchburg and removing it to
New EYolk for exhibition. It's antiquity
and frightiul appearance, we are sure will
attract large crowds to see it on its arrival
in New York. The captain promised us he
would bring this wonderful curiosity to
Richmond and give euy citizens an oppor-
tunity of beholding the greatest living won
Ter of the age, diving, provided the rats
lon't cscape.) This is q specussfion of
" proportion.

iSd.tSied.--Our first visit to the Tredegar
Iron Works yesterday, determined us to be
satisfied with or lot, whatever may be in
store for us. There we beheld men stripped to
the waist handling red hot metal, with the
sparks Tying over them thicker than the
stars of the armament, sweating until it
ran from them in streams. Yet we are
told they were happy and contented.
How can it be? Those who are idling
away their time, using palm-leaf fans and
drinking soda cocktails, are advised to visit
the Tredegar and see what it is to earn
ones bread by the sweat of his face. Go
and see if it will not make better creatures
of you and teach you to thank God for His
kindness to you.

Richmond, and had seen for themselves the
character of our people and the rare advan-
| tages of climate and position which our city
and State possess. He was equally graft
| fled that they had observed what well-Ci-
rected Southern energy, skill and capital
can accomplish, as illustrated by the oper-
alton of the great Tredegar establishment.
AT the risk of being regarded cgotistical
he would tell them, that the world has all
along been mistaken as to the inventive
resources of the Virginian. The fact is, that
there is nothing that he cannot do about as
well as anybody else, if he only once turns
his attention to it. He can for example
make wooden nutmeg equal to its original
patentee, and beat the grayest-hcaded old
sinner at Baden at his own game of cards.
He had even seen delicately raised female
during the war, perform tricks as pie-pei
dler that beat the Yankees all hollow.
The Virgirian, native and adopted, how
ever, has now started on the race with those
who are developing the material resources
OF this great country, and does not mean to
be hindmost when the next quarter stretch
is made. In conclusion, Mr.. Gilman gave
glowing picture of Richmond's future,
with her railroeds reaching to the great
graneries of the west and the banks of the
beautiful river dotted with manufactures.
In manner, matter and spirit Col. Gil
mans speech met the heartiest commenda-
ton. 1t was combination of brilliant. |
keen wit, and fervid eloquence,
such as one rarely hears anywhere, and
which was all the more appreciated, that it
was entirely temporaneous. We ought to
add also that it came from calm, clear
brain, which neither had, nor required any
aid from wine. Nature has been lavish of
her gifts on one whose gifted pen has been
by such powers on the rostrum,
as surprised and delighted lis at the Trede-
gar reception yesterday.
The occasion was in every way delightful
ard profitable to all parties.
Our manufacturing interests have received
new impulse, and our people will begin
% sec that industrial development is the
oyway Incompetence and independence.

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-10-18

THE PRESIDENT has issued his proclamation
suspendng the writ Of habeas corpus in the
nine Ku Klux counties of South Carolina.
The President holds that the refusal OF the
Ku Klux in those counties to dsband or sur
render their arms on the PRONUNCIATION of his
first proclamation renders ::heir combination
rebellion against the government and being
such he holds that the public sarc,y re-
quires the suspension of the writ Of
habeas corpus. II is, however an ex-
IRENE measure. likely e bss obnoxious
to the conservatism OF the country; but the
great faith in the honesty and integrity of the
President will, in the long run, satisfy the
people that be acts only for the best. As a
soldier he was mainly famous for strong and
decisive blows, following one quickly upon
another, SO that the enemy had no time to
reorganize, and, having tried with partial sue
cess, mild measures, the law courts and warn
ing proclamations in his prosecution of this
war upon the Ku Klux, he follows with
more effective blow than either, being too
wise general to let the scotched snake go

A Move IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. While
Governor Hoffman refused to place New York
city under martial law at the suggestion OF
Judge Pierrepont and Ex-Governor Salo-
mon, be expressed his earnest desire to aid
by all means in his power in the punishment
of any persons who may have defrauded the
public treasury. To that end he instructed
Attorney General Champlain to engage Charles
O'Conor as counsel in the prosecution of any
fraudulent contractors or unfathful public
officer against whom ground of action may
exist. The Attorney General has addressed a
letter to Charles OConor, authorizing him to
bring any suits he may think expedient in the
name of the State. This is q movement in the
right direction, and it is to be hoped it may
lead to good results. 1t destroys any further
usefulness on the part of the Committee Of

steal World.

Mrs. WOuifOm-Thc New star in the sin-
| steal World.
Mrs. Moulton has pissed the ordeal OF a
professional debut before q most critical and
fashionable audience, aud the verdict Is as
highly complimentary as deserved. Her con-
certs at Steinway Hall have placed her in the
front rank of the few first rate singers in the
world. This is the judgment of the press, the
public and artists. Public expectation was
rather exacting because of the honors she had
received for her vocal ability from the royal
courts of Europe, and especially from the EN-
peror Napoleon and the Empress Eugene
while singing only as an amateur and in
social way; but it was not disappointed. Her
first appearance in the professional career she
has commenced showed that her fame in that
charmed circle of the Old World was we'll
merited. There has never been seen more
fashionable or critical audiences in this
city than that attending her performance.
This is due in part, no doubt. to Mrs. Moul-
tons social standing, though more to the rare
excellence and cultivation of her voice. The
enthusiastic plaudits, encores and profusion of
bouquets which she received were tributes to
her exquisite vocalzaton This country has
produced several fine professional female
singers, and among them we may mention Miss
Kellogg and Madame Van Zandt, besides a
number of charming amateurs who have voices
and musical ability enough for successful
professional career if they chose to enter upon
that. There appears to be something in our
climate and the nature Of American women
favorable to the development of the finer quail
tiles of the voice. Patti was an American
girl, though born of foreign parents, and now
we have another native star in Mrs. Moulton,
who promises to take the highest position in
opera as well as in the concert room after
some training. In the quality of her voice
Mrs. Moulton stands scarcely second to any
prima donna in this country or abroad. Then
she has the advantage Of being very handsome,
of a charming expression, fine figure and hav-
ing great taste, which always prove attractive
to the public. Sac begins under very favor
able auspices, and has, we think, bright pros
pect in the future.

THE LITTLE SPEoK OF WAR that has re-
vealed itself in Gloucester, no bigger than
mans hand, has increased to the dimensions
of an ordinary war cloud. The schooner
under debate, the Horton, has not yet ar
rived at that port, and the people are unduly
excited over the picture of the chase which
their magnations drew. The President ap-
pears to be fully advised of all the points in
the case, and he has directed three additional
revenue cutters and gunboats to the scene OF
expected danger 1t is stated, though ap-
parently on no authority better than
the rumors that are eagerly accepted
rs very credible stories by tae agi-
tated Gloucester brain, that the revenue
cutter Mahoning, wh.ob put to sea yesterday
from that port with sealed orders, had instruc-
tons to seize the Horton wherever found,
whether in possession Of British gunboat oc
not, and bring her into Gloucester. Her
forcible recapture from a British gunboat
would embroil us at once in war, especially il
it had been personally ordered by the Pres-
dent himself, and we doubt the accuracy Of
the report. But there is no question that
affairs in Gloucester and the bay are at boil
ing point, and that too much hot blood
among naval officers may rend like waste
paper that famous instrument called 'she
Treaty of Washington"
