SLEIGH RIDES seem to be the order of the
day. In addition to the large amount of sleigh
riding that has been going on in the streets for
the past three days, there were two large parties
going out of the city-one to Clinton yesterday
afternoon, and one to Sterling last evening,
both in large sleighs belonging to Thompson &
Coburn of the South Worcester omnibus line.
There were, ALSO several rides from out of town

From Washington.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER sPY.l


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 10.
WASHINGTON FILLING UP.
Washington is rapidly filling up with strang-
erS to see the carnival next week. Pennsylva-
mia avenue has been cleaned to-day of its load
of snow and dirt, and there is a prospect Of a
good time Monday and Tuesday. Among the
strangers here arc Postmaster Sperry of New
Haven, and Mr.. Train, of the Palladium.
THE UNION PACIFIC ROAD.
The friends of the Union Pacific railroad are
very busily at work. still in the hope of securing
the passage of resolution, by at least one
branch of congress, expressing the opinion that
the government has no right to withhold more
than one half Of the charges of the road for gov
ernment freight. This is the expressed opinion
of the senate judiciary committee, and if it can
be adopted by the senate or house, it is expected
that Mr. Boutwell, will back down from the po-
sition he assumed last fall.
THE BOWEN SCANDAL.
The narrow escape of Congressman Bowen
from conviction of bigamy creates quite a
stir in the house, and there is very strong i'm
preston there, as it seems there was on the
minds of the jury, that he is not only guilty Of
bigamy, but of bribing a man to perJure him
self, so that Bowen might escape punishment.
There is talk among some members of the house
of an attempt to expel him from the house, not
on the charge of bigamy, but for things which
he admitted during the trial, but the session is
so short that the subject will probably be allowed
to pass.
WEST POINT.
The debate in the house upon West Point and
the votes upon the various resolutions occa-
stoned much excitement. Every possible at.
tempt was made to shirk the issue presented,
and, if possible, avoid the expression of opinion
on the conduct of the first class; but the major
ity of the house would not permit evasion or
lodging, and they even went beyond the irst
class and ordered court of inquiry on the
officers at West Point.
A large number of republicans regretted that
the subject was before the house; but, since it
was there, they felt bound to vote their convic-
tions, without reference to the persons to be
affected by the result. 1t is thought in some
quarters that the secretary of war will not carry
out the recommendations of the house, as one
branch of congress has no authority over him.

THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY is a play
that can be highly spoken of; which, indeed, is
not the case with most of the new plays pro-
duced. John Murray, in the character of
"Philip Nolon," at Music hall last night, dis
played some rare acting, and the supporting
company was good one. One of the support,
Mary Hill Thaxter, is the same Mary Hill that
played here with Wyzeman Marshall during the
first season at the old Front street theatre, and
made many friends here at that time. The COM
pany will be here only tonight, and the oppor-
tunity to see this play, dramatzed from the
story by Rev. E. E. Hale, should be taken, for
the entertainment is well worthy of full house.

"LITTLE GAME" SPoILED.-By a fortu-
nate occurrence, yesterday, thief was taken in
the act of leaving the city loaded with things he
had stolen from a roommate, to the value of
nearly hundred dollars. He went to the board
ing house of Mr.. johnson, at No. 1 Myrtle
street, Wednesday night, and applied for board,
giving the name of Charles Mitchell. He drought
references, and said he was going to work in
Court mills, so he was given room with a1oth-
er boarder, Mr.. John Head. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Head happened, by mere chance, to
leave his work at four O'Clock and go home;
and on going into his room he Immediately no
ticcd that a cornet, valued at siXty-ive dollars
had been stolen, and also that his trunk had
been broken open. His first thought was to
suspect the new boarder, whose looks he said
he did not like on first seeing him-he was too
smooth a tallSer and wore too much jewelry for
an honest carpent as he claimed to be- Com
plant was Immediately made to the police office,
and Ranger and Dyson started in search of the
rascal, finding him at the junction depot, with
the cornet and several other things in his pos
session. He refused to answer questions, and
takes his confinement very inditferently.

THE FRENCH FAIR.-AIechanics hall was
showily fixed up last evening for the fair Of
Father Primeaux' church, and the managers
say that the sum of money realized from the
first night was larger than they had expected.
The hall was surrounded by tables loaded with
pretty trinkets, one of them being filled with
Statuary, and, in addition to the attractive dis
play, was the excellent music furnished by the
French brass band. Among the articles drawn
last night, was a silver watch by Oliver Barnard,
an easy chair by Samuel Paris, a ton of coal by
Jennie Logan, and pair of blankets by Nellie
Higgins. There are several articles of greater
value to be drawn tonight, and there will be
some excellent singing by the United CathO-
lie choirs. The fair will be continued two nights

ism was so bold that much dissatisfaction
was expressed, and matters changed

into their own hands; that is, by some
means il was found impossible to nego-

Examination Of Comptroller Con.
neIly's Account.
NEW YORK. september 2.-The citizens who
have been invited to participate in the exami-
nation of Comptroller Connelly's accounts
with the Joint Committee OF Aldermen and
Supervisors. are holding the matter under ad-
visement. and have yet to determine whether
or not they will accept the invitation. A pri-
vate meeting of those who are in town was
held Thursday, and another has been called
for the purpose of considering the subject fur
Their. At the second meeting it is expected
that all those who have been invited will be
present.
1t is surmised that S. B. Hunt will decline
the invitation, as it may be charged that the
relations between his firm and Connolly are
too intimate to admit OF his dealing impair
TALLY in the matter. The impression prevails
that all the Others will accept the invitation,
though they may attach certain conditions TO
their acceptance. which will require further
consideration by the joint committee. These
conditions are understood to refer, first, to the
nature of the investigation in respect to thor
oughness; and. second. to the legal measures
to be taken in the event that any persons shall
currently charged.
1t was announced in Stock Exchange to-day
that preliminary arrangements have been
concluded between the Union Pacific railroad
company and Pacific Mail steamship company
and Panama railroad. The contract has al
ready been made, SO far as managers of the
different corporations are concerned, but now
requires ratification by the directors. who will
meet next week. The contract is based on the
statement that each corporation has lost
money in carrying on ruinous competition.
The Pacific roads. according to the pro-
gramme now marked out, are TO have control
of rates to be established for carrying Califor-
MIA passengers and freight. In consideration
Of this they guarantee the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company the net earning of Sl,2OO.OOO
per annum. While this company have hith-
erto not earned over $500. 900 net, portion Of
the surplus will be contributed by the Steam
ship Company to the Panama Railroad Com
pany. The advance in Panama and Pacific
Mail stock. during the past few weeks, has
been caused by this rumored agreement.

that on Wednesday,. the 2sd of August. Miss
Bowisley came 10 the house. and after short
conversation in the parlor, was escorted to the
Doctors private room. She saw him enter
with her, and did not see her go out again.
She asked the Doctors daughter next day
where the body was. and she replied that the
young lady had been taken away last night
by her friends. On Saturday morning Jane
was told to go out with the children for a
walk-something very unusual-and it was at
that time the body was removed.
Jane declined to tell anything more about
the affair last night. Sheis very reticent. and
would say nothing to the reporters WHO were
present.

HOW IT WAS DONE.

The quarrel in the Radical party of
New York is bringing out some things
that have been, until now, hidden. II
is at last known how Seymour was de
feated. Mr.. Palmer in a recent com
munication, says:
I'm 1858 Hon. f. d. Washburne, now min
lister to France, came to this city to enlist the
efforts of the Republicans in the canvass then
in progress for General Grants election.
1.-THE ratification meeting in Pennsylvania
had been a failure. Mr.. Washburne desired
money should be raised for the purpose Of
carrying the Maine. Indiana and Pennsylya-
mia elections in September and October. He
applied 10 Mr. Grinnell, through whose great
personal efforts $4,000 was produced and
used in that campaign.
/" Washburne and General Grant have since
admitted that this aid was decisive of the
Presidential contest. For this, and his ex
tensive reputation and popularity, Mr.; Grin
nell was appointed Collector for the Port Of
New York"
This tells the story. How much mon

PARTIES,

We have many parties in this country
They are peculiar if not vain. Besides
the Republican and Democratic parties,
we now have the Woman Suffrage Party,
Equal Rights Party, Labor Party, Cos
mopolitical Party, Peoples Anti-Monop-
oily Party, Young Democracy, Temper
ance, Tammany Republican, Conkling-
ties, Fentonites, Revenue Retormers,
Free Traders, Native American, New
Departure Democrats, Greenbacks for
Currency, Christians (who want to in
corporate Christianity in the Constitu-
tion), and the Free-and-Easy Free Love
Party. These sprouts of parties will all
be absorbed next year in the two great
parties. When an ambitious politician
is disappointed he turns his thoughts to
new party that shall do him justice.
We do not remember that new party
movements have yet originated in the
South. They are peculiar to the North.

SEPTEMBER.

September is upon us, and 1t comes
with as cloudless a sun as ever rose over
the eastern hills, and with as blue sky
as the eye of the poet ever gazed INTO
The air is delicious, and it is a luxury to
breathe it. Thus far Memphis has been
blessed with most excellent health. We
are now in no danger of yellow fever,
and the cholera can hardly reach us be
fore spring. September is a sort Of
halfway house between Summer and
Autumn, Alabama-here we rest. NOW
and then those who go into the woods
will discover scarlet leaf at theis feet,
and, looking up into the interlocking
foliage, will detect the smallest bit OF
brown on the leaves. The genius of the
seasons guides them at all periods. They
have run their course, and are preparing
10 fall when the gales of November come.
Yes, we halt at September and take re-
Prospect of the past months of the year.
They lie dead behind us, but from the
withered flowers that strew their breasts
comes the aroma of memories sweet as
the dews that fall upon the wings OF
angels. There are dangers that have
been avoided, and enterprises that have
been successful Or, there have been
disasters, death, and bosoms torn as with
the beak and talons Of hevulture. The
Southern summers have their perils, and
when we escape them until September
comes we feel strengthened, and cling
with stronger tenacity to the hope that
we shall pass in safety to the snow and
the ice where all climatic poisons are
disarmed of their power to harm. But
September is not healthful month in
the South. Great care is requisite to
avoid the sudden spring Of most deadly
diseases. In this month people should
he more careful of their health than In
July. The night air should be avoided as
much as possible, and clothing should be
adapted to the temperature OF the at
mosphere. 1t is the commencement Of
the commercial year. By the last Of
August the cotton is opening, and by
the tenth of September picking has
commenced in earnest As the cotton
is gathered it is hurried off to market,
and then begins the great hustle, rattle
and roar of revived commerce. De
spite all accounts to the contrary, we
have no doubt of fair cotton crop and
a business season of great animation.

FRANCE.

PARIS, September 1.-THE terms on which
Theirs has been elected President are those
proposed by Meyvit, with some very slight
notifications. The most important part of
the bill reads as follows: All the powers
which M. Theirs has heretofore exercised as
chief of the Executive are prolonged for the
period of three years. He is, moreover, in
trusted with the PRONUNCIATION and execution
of the laws; he is authorized to receive am
bassadors his official residence will be at the
place where the Assembly may sit; he will be
lodged at the expense of the Republic; he
shall have the right to appoint members of
the council of ministers, diplomatic agents
and military and naval commanders, and the
ministers appointed by him shall be response
BILE for their acts to the Assembly.
The motion of Meyvit has been completed
by an additional clause proposed by Cham
bron, in these terms; The President commu-
nicates with the Assembly by means of mes
sages. and will be held responsible by the As
sembly whenever il makes the demand. M.
Theirs has been accepted to the Presidency
on these terms, not because the National AS
sembly is satisfied with him or because it is
afraid Of his resigning, but simply for the
reason that no one could be found to take his
place. Indeed. the majority of the Assembly
has of late been dissatisfied with the course
of Theirs, and has made great efforts to super
cede him. The party of the Right has re-
peatedly offered the Presidency to Duke d
Aumale. but he did not accept it. The leaders
of the same party then asked Marshal McMa-
hon and Gen. Changarnier to accept.the Office
for an indefinite period. but they both refused,
saying they were unwilling to become the pre-
text for disorders. Marshal Mcmahon even
strongly recommended the acceptance of
Meyvit's motion for the prolongation of
Theirs power. NJ. Grevy, President of the
National Assembly. was then offered the
Office, but he declared himself q more ad-
yanced Republican than Theirs, andlknowing
the monarchial tendencies Of the majority,
he said he would be instrumental in paving
the way for the establishment of monarchy.
The party of the Right vacillated for some
time between its fears of Gambetta and the
ascendency of the Republicans of the Left
and its dislike of the personal rule of Theirs.
but the final refusal of Duke d'Aumale deter
mined the party of the Right tdvote the bill
for the prolongation of Theirs powers.
