Names of streets.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
AS great confusion exists in the manner
and mode of naming the streets, in that
part of the city from Jackson street up,
will you suggest to our city administration
the proprfety of numbering those strests
running across the city from the river to
the woods, continuing from Ninth street up
to the extreme limits of the Sixth District.
1t will readily be perceived that the con-
venience would be great, and streets would
be found easily where now it is labor to
discover them. An individual living on the
corner of st. Charles avenue and Twentieth
street could easily be found; whereas, if
you are compelled to hunt for Cadiz, Pen
niston, Milan, Constantinople, Peters ave-
nue. and a host of other such names, the
task would not be easy, unless you were
thoroughly acquainted. Louisiana avenue
and Napoleon avenue could easily be
changed to Twelfth avenue and Seventeenth
avenue. VIII Administrators Bonzano and
Cockrem attend to this. matter, and earn
,the gratitude of all uptown residentsl
SIXTH DISTRICT.

desperate engagement occurred around
Fort d'Issy, and the communists claim the

Victor Schoelcher has been arrested.
The committee of public safety has issued
a proclamation to the people, which says:
"The republic and the commune have
escaped a mortal peril. Treason had pene-

tributed. Rossels surrender of Issy was
the first step of the drama, and the opening
of the gates of Paris was to follow. A

ATTE MPT TO WRECK A RAILROAD
TRAIN.
The Disaster Fortunately Frustrated.

| New YORK, May "a special dispatch
| says an attempt was made on the night of
Sunday, April 30, to throw the express train
No. II on the Erie railroad off the TRACK
near Deposit. The train was descending
Summit grade and approaching the station,
when at Stewards crossing it ran into an
| obstruction. Its weight of speed, however
overcame the resistance, and the danger
was escaped. The trackman on duty, after
the train had passed, found broken ties
on the track, and fire on one side of the
track. which had been kindled during his
absence.
Two green hemlock trees had been placed
on end in the cattle guard acroFs the track,
and above these heavy oak ties had been
placed in such positions that the front truck
of the locomotive would partially mount it,
raising it from the track. The weight OF
the engine had fortunately been so great
that the hemlock tie broke short off, and the
oaken ties thus relieved shifted around,
letting the wheels drop again.
The watchman at once began removing
the distractions, when he was assailed by a
shower of stone from the woods on one
side of the road He was compelled to
abandon his work and procure assistance.
Train No. u on this night was more than
usually heavy, and contained the directors
car, upon which were Gould and Fisk and
several division superintendents, who were
on their way to the citHto assist in arrang-
ing the new time table.
If the effort had been a success it would
have been attended with great loss of life.
The grade here is fifty feet to the mile, and
the speed of the train Is from forty to fifty
miles an hour
The matter has not been made public be-
fore, as it was hoped clue to the perpe-
traitors could be obtained. Armed patrol
men have watched the road from Deposit
to Susquehanna since the affair, to guard
against a repetition of the attempt.

THE LAST SUNSET
TEE EXECUTIONS TO-DAY
INTELLECTUAL ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE
Appearance of the Prisoners

The work Of erecting the gallows on which
Bayonna and Abriel are to expiate the
crime OF murder was completed yesterday
morning, and the grim implement of violent
death stands in all its intense ugliness and
unmitigated horror in the same yard which
the condemned cell overlooks. We believe
1t is not generally known that they attempt
ed to escape on Thursday by breaking
through the wall of the CELL but were frus-
trated by the vigilance of the police. This
was known to us a few hours after the
occurrence, but Captain johnson desired
that it might not be made public, for the
humane reason that he did not wish it to
interfere with any chances the prisoners
might have of communication.
The gallows, which has been described
numerous times, consists of two beams that
extend from a window in the rear of the
northern courtyard The platform on
which t he condemned men are to stand is
fastened to the wall by two huge hinges,
and kept in horizontal position by rope,
which, when everything is ready for execu-
ton, will be severed, and the criminals will
fall until fetched up by the halter.
Both the prisoners are wonderfully com
posed in their demeanor, although, on OBJ
serving them closely, an expression Of
heart-sickening anxiety can be readily dis
cerned in the expression of their counte-
nanees. 1t was remarked, however, by
some of the visitors shat the smaller of the
two men, Abriel, stfl appeared to show
some feeling of underlined hope.
The time of execution is between the
hours of ten and twelve o'clock, and We
learned that the fatal platform will fall at
precisely eleven o'clock.
We learn that Captain Badger has de-
tailed strong force of Metropolitan Police
to the IRENE station, in the Immediate
neighborhood of the prison, to repress any
possible disturbance. We see no reason,
however, to expect any occasion for police
interference, although Colonel Badgers
precaution is a wise one.

MIR. BOUTwELL,s POLICY.

1t is persistently insisted that the reten-
ton of large specie surplus in the ma
tional treasury is mistake, the authors of
| the suggestion contending that this surplus
should be used to withdraw the interest
| bearing debt. Under certain circumstances
| this would be wise conclusion, but in
the peculiar situation of the government
| finances at present, the policy adopted by
Mr.. Boutwell, appears to be the only safe
one. First, there is a large interest to be
| paid in specie semi-annually, and the pos
session OF funds to meet this obligation in
sures confidence in the national securities
Second, there is constant effort to appre-
ciate gold which can only be frustrated by
the use of large reserves of specie at the
critical moment when the speculation is
most active to depreciate the currency Mr..
Boutwell, has been enabled at all times to
hold gold in check by threatening to throw
such amounts on the market III the pur-
chase of currency at reduced rates as has
prevented the operators in specie from
rushing the premium up to one hundred
and thirty.
The gold spectators have never been
able to form a combination that could COM
pete with the Secretary of the Treasury,
and this has prevented them from con-
trolling the greenback market. If Mr..
Boutwell, had been too poor to enter the
market, the operators in gold would have
had matters their own way. But the i'm
menseE reserve in the sub-treasury has at
all times enabled the government to pro-
tect Its own paper, and this has not only
benefited the people at large, but it has
saved immense sums to the treasury. Sup
pose Mr.. Boutwell, parted with seventy
millions of his surplus gold for interest
bearing notes, the effect would be to save
about five millions in the way OF interest
But when it came 10 be known that he
could ne longer protect the currency,
the gold operators would have ad-
vanced the price, and instead of currency
commanding Ill, we should have seen it
pushed up to l40. This would have inflicted
loss upon the holders of currency to the
extent of thirty per cent at least, and what
ever purchases the government made would
have been paid for at an advanced price.
Ws-should have saved five millions in the
way OF interest, and lost twenty millions in
the way of discount.
Mr.. Boutwell, and the honest custodians
of the public credit appreciated this contin-
gency, and refused to submit themselves to
be stripped of their power in the way the
gold spectators suggested. II all the gold
In the treasury was sold tomorrow, it |
would not increase the volume of available |
money in the market because specie is not
a circulating medium at present. If Mr.. |
Boutwell, locked up currency, then, indeed, |
he might>be reasonably accused of hamper
ing the financial interests of the country |
but instead of putting aside greenbacks,
the secretary simply boards gold and re-
fuses to buy up greenbacks, which is one
way of supplying-the country with currency.
The spectators in specie are mad, but they
are not likely to make a profit by their
madness

A Likeness of the President.

A Washington special to the New York
Times says:
An exquisite engraving of a picture of
President Grant has just been finished at
the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing in
the Treasury Department. 1t is about the
size of a card photograph, and besides being
fine specimen of engraving, it is the most
faithful likeness of the President that has
ever been produced: at any rate such is the
opinion of all who have seen it Not only
are the features perfectly transcribed, but
the characteristic expression which all art
lists have failed to catch has been perfectly
delineated by the engrayer. The President
gave him short sitting, and the rest of the
work was done from photograph. One
part OF the value of the picture consists in
the proof it affords of the superior talent
which the government commands in this
deDartmeut

Removal Of Speaker Evans-His Speech
to the HOuse-Fire at Bryan-Loss
$1SO,OeO.
GALVESTON, May ia special to the
| Galveston Necs, from Austin, May 10, saws
by resolution of the House, Speaker
Evans was removed by a vote of forty-one
to twenty-nine.
Mr.. Evans took the floor and said:
The caucus has issued its fat. The decree
has gone forth that because l would not
violate the constitution at the behest of the
party, and join the majority of the Repub-
licans in this Legislature in perpetuating
our existence, and usurping the power of
legislating for the people Of Texas after the
third of December next, that / must be
sacrificed.
Think not to blind the people by the mis-
representation OF party whose principles
you thus trample upon. You can hurl at
me the shafts of your hate Your envy and
malignity fall short of their intended vic
tim. For the ignorant, simple men, who are
led in this movement by unscrupulous dem
agogues, have nothing but pity, while for
their leaders l entertain the most profound
scorn and contempt. You deem this the
hour OF your triumph; it is the hour of your
shame, and an open confession to the people
of Texas that submission to Republican
caucus is inconsistent with an oath to sup
port the constitution.
Let not the Republican party of Texas
suffer for the folly and madness of the ire
spOnsible men in this House, who are its
representatives in name only. l have ever
followed the dictathn of the caucus, but,
upon a constitutional question which in
wolves my oath of Office, have refused to
follow the dictation of the caucus, and vio-
late my oath to sustain the constitution of
the State. | have also denied the right of
the caucus to make such question partisan
in it's character, and to compel its mem
bers to abide by the decision of the
caucus thereon, nor such action as
the midnight caucus last night determined
to remove me from the position of Speaker
of this House. l knew invited this removal
when L espoused the cause of the people
and constitution. On the one hand it was
the decision of the party caucus; on the
other it was the constitution 1 had sworn to
uphold, and between them was the Speakers
chair l could not hesitate as to INV
course-my fate be that of men of all ages
who have dared to do right-temporary de-
feat, succeeded by lasting honor. In this
matter my adversaries have erected to
themselves monument of shame, which
shall rise higher and higher with increasing
years, and the finger of scorn shall be
pointed at them whitherseever they go.

Debate In the House of Lords-Remuuer-
alton for Vessels and Property De
stroyed by the eAlabama-Weakness of
the Communist Forces-ArrivaIs.
LONDON, May 12.-In the House of Lords
to-day, Lord Redesdale asked whether the
United States could legally raise the q,les-
ton or remuneration for vessels and prop
erty destroyed by the Alabama. He argued
that the Southern States of the American
Union were alone responsible for the deIpre-
datlons of the Alabama and kindred ships,
and that the government of Great Britain
could not have legally detained The Ala
barna, for she was not armed when she left
British waters.
Earl Lauderdale concurred in the view
expressed by Lord Redesdale
Earl Granville, said he was glad the cues
ton had been raised, as it gave him the OPP
portunity of stating that the adjustments
made at Washington had not turned upon
the point supposed by Lord Redesdale,
which the crown advisers had not even sug-
gested. He promised that before the treaty
was ratified there should be ample oppor-
tunity for full consideration Of its provi-
sions, but in the meantime he expressed
regret at the occurrence of desultory dis
cussions
Earl Granville, in continuation, admitted
that it was The duty of the government to
give every attention to the subject pre-
SeHpcu ny LOru hedeSdaie, as we'll as to all
other matters which would aid it in resist
sance to the payment of these claims He
concluded by stating that the treaty itself
would be in the hands of the government
by the end of next week, and 1t. would be
promptly laid before Parliament for con-
sideration.
In the House of Commons Gladstone an
nounced that the Whitesuntide recess would.
be from May 26 to June l..
The Marquis of Harrington advocated a.
bill providing for the protection of life and
property in Ireland by authorizing local
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus
Consideration of the subject was continued
until the recess.
At the evening session Macfe, member
for Leith, moved for the appointment of q
select committee to investigate the relations
of the colonies both to the mother country
and to each other, and to ascertain in what
manner they can be strengthened and
bound in closer ties of friendship and low
atty to the empire.
Nothing later from Paris.
The Standard of this evening has dis
patch asserting that the communist forces
are only twelve thousand strong, and that
the Versailles army could go into Paris to-
day if it so desired.
