An ExpIanation-Heavy Failure.

CHICAGO, August 24.-The "other
Bishop" alluded to in the article on the
Cheney case, going the rounds Of the
press, and copied from the Protestant
Chmchman, is known to be Bishop
Whipple, of Minnesota, formerly Rec
tor of the Church of the Holy Com
munion in this city, high Churchman
and personal friend of Bishop White
house. 1t was at his suggestion that
the visit of Bishop Lee and himself was
made to this city But as the Bishop
of Illinois was at that time absent on
visitation, the narrative OF the relations
of the two visiting Bishops to the Che
ney case, it is stated, is embodied in the
letters and documents which will ere
long be made public. Their publica-
ton, it it claimed. becomes necessary
and proper, as a reply to the statement
of Bishop Lee, and will be looked for
with lively interest, as some questions
of fact as we'll as ecclesiastical courtesy
are involved in the narrative as given
in the Chuchman.

Cane Hatteras. South and southeast
winds have been generally reported dur

pie as applied to the Presidential office,
which will appear in the October num-
Der Of the Galary. 1t is probable that
his opposition to the denomination of
General Grant, (Which does not, how
ever, appear to be at all factious,) has
largely helped to bring about his con-
clusions, for he expresses his conviction
that, Notwithstanding the strength OF
the Republican party, it is very likely
to be beaten unless a new candidate is
selected who shall be able to heal the
differences caused by unwise manage
ment Especially, he says, is this true
OF the South, where there is large and
respectable party of old Wings who
with a new candidate will work tor and
vote for the Republican candidate, but
who refuse TO have anything TO DO with
the arpetbaggers who are now running
the Southern States. Mr.. Greeley il
about to make an extended lecture trip
through the Northwestern States, in the
course of which he will doubtless ex
press his views on the political situation

The International Boat Race
The Programme Disarranged
ACCIDENT TO RENFORTH.
Investigation by the Coroner

ST. JoHSs, n. B., August 24.-From
an early hour on Tuesday evening the
roads were covered with pedestrians
who lay upon the hillsides to witness
the sport of Wednesday. Steamer load
after steamer load arrived, crowding the
hotels. Visitors have been purlng IN
for weeks past. The race was fixed at
halfpast seven, but at a much earlier
hour the great crowd was astlr. The
pink collars OF the St. Johns men were
everywhere to be seen, and but few dis
played the blue colors of the Tynes, A
little before seven o'clock Fulton and
his men appeared and were applauded
loudly. A few minutes after Renforth's s
crew appeared and were also applauded
Both crews then stripped. The river
was as smooth as glass. At half,past
seven both the boats were in position
and Fulton said, Now give the word,
the quicker the better" and the Judge
shouted Co. Both shot forward, the
Tynes leading slightly with forty-two
strokes to the minute and the St. Johns
with forty.lour. The Englishmen slack
ened to thirty-nine and. the St. Johns
kept up to forty-four, and in few min
utes led the other crew by length.
When opposite Appleby's wharf the
Tyne crew ceased rowing, to the great
astonishment Of everybody, and only
three of them could he seen in the boat.
They then rowed to shore amid cries OF
shame" "Iraud," "he knew he was
beaten" &c. Renforth lay insensi'
bic in the arms Of Kelly. He was
taken up the hank, put in
a carriage, and driven to the training
quarters. When being taken from the
carriage he said; Lay me down on the
grass, boys, I'm very sick" They car
ried him into the house, and five physi'
clans were Immediately in attendance.
They bled him, but little blood came,
and in about half an hour he breath
ed his last. Shortly before his death he
spoke to his companions in a whisper,
the last audible word being "wife." An
absurd rumor is afloat here that they
were drugged previous to the race, but
this is without foundation.
The Paris crew believed the whole
thing was q trick of Renforths at first,
but on learning the truth, evinced the
deepest sorrow. They continued the
race when the Tyne crew stopped, and
rowed leisurely over the course, turning
the stake boat in eighteen minutes, with
forty-two strokes, and ending the race
in forty minutes and eleven seconds
A post mortem examination will be
made by DR.. William Wade, of the
10Th Regiment, Highlanders. 1t is
understood that the remains will be
embalmed and taken back to England
All engagements of the crew in Amer
ica have, Of course, been cancelled.
The cause of death is said to have been
congestion Of the lungs, accelerated by
over exertion and excitement. Some
physicians call it pulmonary apoplexy.

Mismanagement or Quarantine.
The Tribune publishes additional
charges against the mismanagement OF
the quarantine under the health Off
GERS. In this connection it states that
the transactions concerning a period Of
fourmonths show that some of the prin-
cipal merchants were compelled, under
the regular orders of DR.. Carnochan,
to tighten their goods unnecessarily in
the lighters of the company, which paid
him a bribe of forty thousand dollars
for the privilege Of charging three
prices for the work. Consequently,
two-thirds of the amount in every case,
and all in many, is deliberate stealing.
The Court of Common Pleas has is
sued an order to sell the Greenwich
street Elevated railway September 18th,
with the track, rolling stock, &c, for
the benefit OF the creditors. 1t is not
expected that the amount realized
will exceed the value of the materials.

The Safe OF the Golden Rule.

A short time after the wreck of tht
Golden Rule, the safe, containing money
was found and forwarded to the Treas
ury Department. The machinist gave
his opinion that the safe had rot beer
broken open, but the evidence rather
indicated that it had been opened OF
broken by the violent contact with the
rocks, DC. None of the money had
ever been recovered, and nothing had
been discovered casting suspicion on the
officers or crew OF the vessel, nor on
those employed in wrecking the vessel
1t is now over six years since the wreck
and the notes in the safe are now past
due three years, and no trace has been
found Of their existence.

Miner, Louisville, stating that the State
of Kentucky owns large amount Of
stock in the Bank OF Kentucky and
Bank OF Louisville and that those
stocks ought not to have been taxed,
and asking for a favorable considera-
ton OF their claim for refunding the
tax, Commissioner Douglass replied
that claims for refunding such tax can
not be allowed.
Generals Pope and Porter.
General Pope has recently issued from
his headquarters pamphlet regarding
the case between himself and Fitz John
Porter. 1t is illustrated by the plan Of
Pope's attle.field, OF the Goth August,
1862, and makes a very plain case
against Porter. The quotations Of Or
ders contained therein have been sub
mitted TO the War Department for veri-
fcation, and Porter owns an acknowl-
edgment Of his movements that day
and the.reasons therefor are shown to
be quite sufficient evidence of his inca
pacity or cowardice if not Of something
worse.

The Junction Of the Pacific Roads,

The Junction OF the Pacific Roads.
The Omaha Republican states, on
what is said to be good authority, that
the junction Of the Union Pacific and
the Central Pacific railroads is to be
moved to point FIVE and one half
miles westerly from Ogden. The juno
ton was fixed BY Congress at five miles
west OF Ogden, but by mutual agree
ment it was made at Ogden.
The proposed final point OF junction
is one-half mile west OF the Congress
sional location, in the centre Of nine sec.
tons OF land granted to both roads.
The place will be known as Junction
City. The Republican says:
On the southwest side OF the track
are l43 acres, to be occupied by the
Union Pacific machine shops, round
house, etc, and l2S acres appropriated
to the Central Pacific for a similar pur-
pose. On the northeast side Of the
track will stand the Wasatch Hotel, in
beautiful park OF thirteen acres. The
hotel grounds are bounded by 369 acres,
belonging to both roads, which is laid
out into blocks, with streets running at
right angles, and there it is proposed to
build Junction City.
The hotel is to be an imposing struc'
ture, and would be an ornament to any
city in the United States. The house
is to be 207xl90 feet in dimensions, and
will consist OF main building with two
wings. A handsome French roof top.
it of, and over the main part rises a
large dome or observatory, the top o'
which ia over a hundred feet from the
ground. The wings are three stories
and an attic in height; the main part
rises an additional story. An orna
mental iron piazza extends along the
entire front Of the hotel on the firs'
story, and in front Of the main part; on
the second story is long balcony. A
smaller balcony is built in front OF The
third story. The material for the hoteI
will be red sandstone OF fine texture
found in Echo Canon, forty miles east
OF Ogden, where it so abounds that il
has been used by the Union Pacific il
building bridges. The estimated cos
Of the hotel is $4,000. A spring o
10000 gallons daily capacity, locatec
three miles from junction City ant
sixty-fiye feet above the foundation o
the Wasateb Hotel, has been purchased
by the Union Pacific Company foi
81 900. From the elevation ofthe sPring
water will be forced into the third story
OF the hotel, and afford pressure sufii
cient to operate several beautiful foun
tains which are proposed to be built in
the hotel park. The grounds around
the hotel are TO be laid out in avenues
and walks, and ornameuted with tree
and sbrubbery.

Galvanized Iron Telegraph Poles
The Philadelphia Ledger has the fol.

The Philadelphia Ledger has the fol-
lowing:
"The directors OF some OF the princi-
pal railroad and telegraph lines have
had a model OF galvanized iron pole
submitted to them which combines the
useful and ornamental. The new in-
vention is designed more especially for
country lines, but has go many advan-
tages over the old wooden pole that
managers OF the leading city lines have
decided to use it. The new pole is con-
structed so that it can be packed sec.
ton within section, telescope fashion,
and can he shipped to distant points
with great facility. and at moderate
rate. For a pole fifteen feet out Of the
ground suitable for country line, the
first section is three inches, the second
section is tive and a hall inches, and
the third one and a quarter. No
lightning-rods are required with the
iron pole. Two Of the new poles have
been put up in this city and tested by
an electrician, who says that they al.
ways insure a perfect current, and
strongly recommends them for both city
and country lines. In Prussia and
other parts Of Europe iron telegraph
poles are used exclusively"
