The MAIN QUESTION AT SYRACUSE. With
the Fenton-Greeley men it is not the corrup-
tions of Tammany nor the removal of Tam
many, but it is the spos of the Custom House
and the removal Of Murphy. The main ques-
ton with the Conkling- Murphy men is not the
expulsion of the Tammany plunderers from
onr city government, but the expulsion of the
Greeley city delegation from the Convention,
on the ground that they are Tammany repub-
leans. In view of the advantages which the
democrats are promised from these republican
family iSrs, Mr.. Tilden, after all, may have
adopted the wisest course in putting off the
Democratic State Convention till next week
JSTs the democracy may have fair oppor-
tuuly, not only for tie reorganization of
their own party, but for securing a consider
able body of republican boilers on well-con-
sidered programme Of city reform.

COUNT HoHENwART AND HIS TROUBLES
It is again rumOred that Count Hohenwart
will soon resign his position as President of
the Council of Ministers. Count Hohenwart
is the vigorous representative of the new
policy of decentralization, and his success has
been such that he has become the object of
special dislike to the German subjects of Fran
els Joseph. So indignant have they become
that there is some danger that, rather than
form part Of ''tbe tesselated empire of Mag
yars, Czechs and Sclaves," they will advocate
union with the German empire. This is the
present difficulty Of the government of Austria.
The government cannot go back on the ma
.i:cnnssiiities, but the Austro- Germans will not
give In. 1t is not impossible that Count
Hohenwart may have to retire for season !;
but his policy will live.

General Butler Will Probably Run Any
How.

In an interview with General Butler the
other evening at Boston, our correspondent on
the subject says that the General declared
that Sin case l shall not receive the nomina-
ton through any chicanery or fraud on the
part of the republican leaders, 1 shall assur-
edly run on an Independent ticket;" but when
brought TO the direct question, the General
thought it ''quite probable that he will run
any way" In other words, if nominated by
the Worcester Republican Convention which
meets to-day, General Butler will run as the
regular republican candidate; and if rejected
by this Convention he will run as the inde-
pendent republican, labor reform and
women's right candidate Such being the
attitude of General Butler this Worcester Con-
vention, even with a majority Of the delegates
against him, may feel constrained to nominate
him in order to prevent disruption of the
party which may result in the election of the
democratic candidate, Adams, for Governor.
Still, we think the chances in the Worcester
Convention are against General Butler, and
that he will not be chosen its candidate. All
the leaders and organs of the anti-Butler coali-
tion are too radically committed against him
to accept him upon any terms; but if they re-
ject him we shall expect him to stand his
ground as an independent candidate, in order
to show those old Massachusetts, Bourbons
that "the world does move" We agree with
Wendell Phillips, that the republican party in
Massachusetts, has become mildewed and
musty, and wants a regular overhauling, stir
ring up and drying in the sun; and we agree
with General Butler, that he is the man to stir
it up. We hope, therefore, that should
General Butler be rejected by this Worcester
Convention he will stick to his text and run as
an Independent candidate; for it is evident
that the public mind of Massachusetts, is ripe
for political revolution, and ready to follow
General Butler on his proposed "new depar-
ture"

Tie Republicans ut Syracuse.

Our reports of the gathering forces and OF
the movements of the clashing republican
clques and factions at Syracuse indicate a
lively time In the party State Convention
which meets there to-day. The Fenton-Gree-
ley faction are evidently resolved to have the
head Of Murphy, and that this shall be their
ultimatum rne Conkling- Murphy men,
backed by General Grant, are resolved upon
the casting out of the Tammany republicans
as their ultimatnm: What, then? Why, then,
if the anti Murphy faction are strong enough
to blackball Murphy they will do it. and thus
drive the Grant Conkling- Murphy republicans
out of the Convention, while, if the anti-Fen-
ton and ant-Greeley men are strong enough
to expel the Greeley -Tammany delegates, they
will be elected and Fenton, Greeley and their
followers will bolt. Thus a victory on either
side will be the signal for bolt and split in
the New York republican party, which may
give the State to the dem ocrats on vote as
low as two thirds of their full vote of 1868.
The contemplated break in the republican party
against General Grant must be made in this
Syracuse Convention, or Fenton and Greeley,
as his rivals for the Presidential succession,
will have to retire. All their schemes and all
their prospects depend upon break in this
Convention for if they agree to a cOmpro-
mise they sign their abdication and capitu-

WADE HAMPTON is out in favor OF the

next National Democratic Convention, Or if
they do, that they take back seats. He is dis
posed to entrust the campaign Of 1872 to the
Northern democrats. with such moral support
as the strength Of tue party in the South can
afford. This may do very we'll in imagination,

THE WORCESTER CONVENTION, judging from
the preliminary proceedings last night, bids
fair to be the liveliest Convention that has ever
been held in the Old Bay State. Butler was
around among his constituents last night,
hobnobbing among the ''boys' and making
himself quite popular as a candidate, though
not recommending himself to the affections OF
those who consider the dignity that attaches
to a Governor. The sentiment among the
delegates was divided as to what would be the
action of the Convention to-day, and caucuses
and conferences were held all through the

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF HYDRO.
1HCBIs.

\ physician, of Toledo, Ohio,
gives the following particulars OF an
extraordinary case Of hydrophobia.
which occurred in that place. About
four years ago two men had a tight
in a saloon. They were bothpower-
full men, and they had a long and
bloody tussle with each other. While
fighting, one Of the men had a finger
badly bitten by the other. The fin
ger became intiamed, and the lntam-
nation extended to the whole arm,
and for some months it was expected
the man would die, but he recovered
and the wound healed up; bat as
soon as the wound was healed he be-
gan to show signs of insanity or
madness. He fancied, when sleep
ing, that the man who had bit him
was always attacking him, and he
would wake up in a greatrage, strlk-
ing in every direction at his anita
gonist. and so he would remain for
sometime. before the delusion passed
off. Shortly after this he began to
e the mans shadow in the water.
and in all other fluids mixed with
water. but it wouldn't be visible in a
looking glass. Other symptoms in
creased the first two years. and We're
only exhibited once u month at full
moon. At the close of the third
year, at every full moon, he fancled
the moon was close by, and that
between him and the moon stood his
old antagonist in 4 threatening att
tude. He would rave and be fu-
rious for about twenty-four hours,
and then the spasm would pass
away; but in the meantime he would
not attack any other person. The
novelty of the case puzzled all the
physicians of the city, and IN that
part of the State, bat it terminated
at the last full moon. Just as the
moon was rising he happened to be
at one OF the docks on the Maumee
river, and fancied the moon and his
rival were preparing fora fight. He
sprang to meet him, jumped into the
water and was drowned before as
sistance could reach him. The name
of the man thus afflicted was Patrick
Clair, an old resident of Toledo, and
at n time an active business man.
The man who bit him was a stranger
whom nobody knew, and was never
seen afterwards.

THE ENGINEER

His station in life is Iowly,
His hands they are hard with toll,
His uay for the work is meagre,
His garments are grimy with oil.
But brave, and calm, and silent,
Is the railroad engineer;
Perpetual peril has made him
\ tranger TO other fear.
And his is an eXultation
That others may not feel;
For he is part of his engine,
And his are its nerves of steel.
His are its hoofs OF thunder,
His is its heart of flame;
He is the tabled centaur,
HarneSScd and bridled and tame.
Smoke cometh out of his nostrilS,
Fire from his blazing eye;
He saith ma. ha! on the mountains,
And the valleys hear his cry.
The echoes mock in the distance
And summon the storm and the Ugh
And the w~hirlwindS howl in the gOrgeS,
But he turns not back in his flight.
He laughs as he sees in the shadow
The precipice lying IN wait,
And the chasm draws back into midnight
And scowls at him in hate.
Crags reaching out in the darkness
Clutch at him with their handS,
But he Shooteth past like a meteor
Along his iron bands.
Over the trembling trcStle
Where the t~ireleSS rot doth gnaW,
On to the spongy embankment
Where the tickle frost doth thaw.
Into the Stygian tunnel,
Around the ~treacherouS curve,
Trusting the dubiOuS'signal
With grand Olympian nerve.
And when the dire disaster
Comes to the laundering train,
He islands like Il warrior in battle
Scoring all fear or pain
So stood the noble simmons
At Hamburg'S awful scene:
And death himself was dauuted
AT the mans heroic mien.
Then ceased the dreadful slaughter,
n this was his reward
That his of all the corpSeS
Was neither ScOrched nor SCARED.
Thus let him stand forever!
Let all the world admire!
Translated, like Elijah,
In IA chariot of fire.

CHEAPER AND BETTER CASA New EX.
PERIMENT-A Patent Gas Company has
jnst been formed in England, with a capital
of $250,000, in So shares, which proposes TO
distil gas at low temperature instead ofahigh
one, as on the present system. BY this
means it IS possible to use iron retorts, in
stead of retorts of clay, at a great saving of
expense, while the gas produced from the
same coal is 80 per cent. more in lantity and
OF 80 per cent. better quality than the gas
produced by previous methods, and the le-
naming products are also more valua Die.
There is said to be little or no sulphur in this
new and cheaper gas. Such is the account
of the invention which has been privately maxi
lug way, the latest facts coming out regard
ing it being that French company has
bought the privilege of using the pa,ent in
France for $500 600, and that works are 10
ing erected for lighting the Town of Barnet,
England, with gas at an early dale, which
will supply an experiment on the largest
scale. 1t is hardly 10 be wondered a, there
fore, when The public mind is beginning to be
awake to such Matters says che London
Economist, that the original s. shares are at
IL premium, having been at Is to 20, and that
the new issue, which is onb to existing share
holders, is at to ) prenlum.

The Use of Coke,

Two years ago, during temporary freak of
economy, purchased fifty bushels of coke
from the gas company, thinking to use it in

make good fire still more difficult, while to
bake in the oven was matter entirely out Of
the question.
For several weeks it remained in a corner
of my cellar, becoming all the while more uu-
tit for fuel. Being porous, it absorbed moist
ure like sponge, giving little promise of use
as fuel.
Having some leisure, constructed an ar.
ranoement by mea MS of which rendered its
combustion possibility and comfort, at an
outlay OF less than one dollar; and, owing 10
the present high price of coal, many Of your
readers will doubtless be glad to avail them
selves of that cheap article of fuel. will give
for the benefit OF such, description of my
arrangement.
ptocued one joint of stove-pipe, same di-
ameter as cover-hole in front of my stove, and
ensaged timer to rivet flange around one
en- 10 answer for foot which l afterward,
however, found was not required, the pipe be-
ing sufficiently steady without. In the other
end fitted a slip lid, similar to those used on
milk cans. Havil lg startled a lively fire of
coal, set this pipe over front hole of my
stove, and dlled to within about three inches
CT the top with coke, on the top of this, l
placed piece of cast iron, weighing about six
pounds, then put on the lid; in the course of
half an hour the bed of coal had ionted the
coke, and as fast as it was consumed the su-
perincumbent charge of fuel, assisted by the
iron weight, pressed down fresh supply in a
good condition TO burn, having become warm
and dry, and so continued TO burn until the
magazine, holding about peck, was empty,
| making good fire for seven hours without
any other attention, but to occasionally stir
| the ashes through the bars of the crate.
Believing this device will benefit some ol
your readers who ale disposed to use coke Of
the gas-works, have thus given detailed
description of simple device, which has
proved an Indispensable adjunct to my cook
stove for two years.-Letter in Cin Com.
