The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-03-27

JUDGE CADwALADER on Saturday, with
as our reporter phrases it-''the tenderness
and gentleness of manner which are charac-
teristic of this kind-hearted gentleman in his
administration of criminal justice, sentenced
Percival B. Spear to an imprisonment of
three years for the crime of forgery. The
reason for this comparatively light punish
ment appears to have been because Spear has
''always occupied the position of gentle
man, from which it might be inferred that
if he had been some low fellow, unaccustomed
to good society, the Judge would probably
have been less tender-hearted. Spears
offense was one which called for severe pun
ishment, if only that other would-be plunder-
ers of the Indians might be warned, and the
public interest would have been better served
if the sentence had been much more onerous.

The Cotton cron Of Iszl.2.

Messrs. Gates, Wood & Co., of this
| city, most intelligent cotton brokers,
issue an excellent and Trustworthy
! monthly circular. In the number
dated July Ist, they say Of t'he cotton
! crop:
In our last report, we confirmed our
previous estimate of not exceeding
1--WE per cent. deficit OF last years cot
ton planting in this regiOni we have
as yet no evidence TO Vitiate this esti-
mate. That this estimate may be
made more apparent, we would state
that we claim TO represent radius Of
about 125 miles; within which scope,
over one sixth of the entire cotton
crop Of this country is produced,
though not all marketed at this point.
As for the condition Of the crop, the
past months weather, with Isolated
exceptions, has been uneKcep ptiOnably
good for the development o., the cot
ton crop; we have had warm days
and nights, with generous showers,
and notwithstanding we reported
in our last the crop ias being
two weeks later than kst year
ia planting, and the spring so
unfaVorable for the attaiIiment OF
good stands, we have now to report
the crop throughout almost cur entire
region as being ia the most favorable
condition, upon both upland and bot
tom lands; the exceptions, and they
are few, is rather too much rain, and
as a consequence too much grass, but
this is fast being obviated, aid today
the crop is nearly, if not quite as fully,
developed as at the same date last
year, and we are having as little COM
plant generally in regard to the crop
as we ever heard. In so far rs we are
informed, the Memphis district Is
much more favOrably conditioned
than any other portions Of tie cotton
growing regions. This statement Of
Messrs. Gates & Wood is confirmed
by the correspondents Of the APPEAL.

The New York Tribune gives the
following abstract Of POnt0tOc Flour
nOy's testimony before the Ku-Klux
Committee, and we are advised there
is only q show of truth in FlOurnOy's
story. The Tribune says: Mr.. Flour
nov, a prominent Republican editor
of POntOtOc, Miss, was examined by
the Ku-kiuX Committee to. day. Mr..
FlOurnOy served in the rebel army,
and belongs to a large and greatly re-
spected Southern family, which fact
gives his testimony more weight
among some classes than that Of some
other witnesses who have testified
here. He is a School Commissioner
for the county Ia which be resides,
and in this capacity organized
the schools for poor whites and
negroes, there being more Ct
the former than Of the latter in that
vicinity. In choosing teachers he says
that he selected men who were quail
fed for their positions, without regard
to their political faith. When the
schools were fairly organized last
spring the teachers were waited on,
the Republicans ordered ID leave i'm
mediately, and the Democrats 70 sus-
pend, if they did not wish to be
treated iR the same manner. As the
mandates Of the Ku-Klux were not
Immediately Obeyed, and as Mr..
FlOurnOy's newspaper was very severe
in its criticism of the ku-Klux, a large
body Of them, masked, armed and
mounted, entered the town for the
purpose Of enforcing their orders, and
of destroying Mr.. FlOurnoy's printing
Office. Their approach became known,
and q body of citizens, consist
ing of Democrats as well as Republi-
cans, was organized Under the direc-
ton of Mr.. FlOurnOy for the purpose
OF meeting them. A State law in
Mississippi provides that when any
persons appear masked, any officer or
citizen may order them tCi unnask,
and il they do not obey they may be
attacked. Mr.. ElournOy therefore or
dered these men to Unmasl;, but was
answered by 3 volley. The citizens
then returned the fire, and killed one
man, wounded several, and disabled
number Of hCrses. The Ku.Klux
then retreated, bat the disabled horses
were captured and recognized, and
this fact led TO the Identification of
their owners, twenty Of whom have
been indicted. The schools have not
since been mOlested, nor have any Of
the Ku-KluX visited Mr. FlOurnOy.

The CathoIic Priests and aitv

HUDSON, July 1.-The excitement
at the Catholic church in this city has
increased to-day. This ,mOrning the
members of the parish to the number
of three hundred gathered around the
church entrance. Father O'SulliVan.
accompanied by Father Mariarty,
made their appearance to celebrate
mass at the usual hour, when they
were denied admittance and threaten
ed with violence if they made any
attempt to enter. Father O'Sullivan
took the names of those present, and
said he had orders from the BishOI
to exc0mmunicate them. The an
n0Ucement was received with shouts
Of derision. Father O'Sullivan then
retired. The members of the church
seem determined, and say they will
resist the priests at all hazards, until
the grievances of which they complain
are rectified. No violence has taken
place, but the people in the vicinity
of the church are very much excited.
Should the priests gain entrance to
the church by strategy, as they
threaten, it is feared that the building
will be demolished over their heads,
for the paryshioners are firm and des-
perate, although very cool and Or

British Ra!Ifaa!IOa Of the Treaty

The London Gazette announces that
the ratihca6Ons (the United States
and Great Brittany of the treaty of
Washington were exchanged on the
18th inst, and that commissioners
will shortly be named on the part of
England to carry the stipulatiOns into
effect. All British subjects having
claims against the United States are
requested to prefer them within six
months from the first meeting of the
commission. So far so goOd. Now
begins the real work of the treaty
the work Of the several boards of arbi-
tratiOn provided for.
First of all, however, in reference to
the Northeastern fishery arrange
ments and the reciprOcities entered
into in connection with our naviga-
ton of the st. Lawrence canals, her
Majesty's Government will have to
bring her provincials of the New Do
miniOn to a ratification. Those pro
vincials have no better opinion of the
treaty than has General Butler. They
think that in the matter of the fish
cries the treaty gives them up to the
ravages Of the Yankees, and Butler
thinks that the effect of the treaty will
be the ruin of his Gloucester fisher
men in Goldfish, halibut and mackerel,
even in their own waters and their
own markets. We presume, however,
that, with her Majesty's provincials,
British loyalty will rise superior to
local preiudice5 and objections, and
that there will really be very little
difficulty in bringing around even the
Warlike Nova ScOtians and Prince Ed
ward Islanders to ga happy accord"
with the Imperial Government.
The New York Herald says: t'There
is another matter, however, upon
which the interested parties are
doomed to a crushing disappoint-
ment. We refer to the matter of those
bonds of the so.called Confederate
States cotton lean, and to the holders
thereof. These unfortunate men seem
to think that the provisions Of the
treaty cover the rebel cotton loan
bonds, but this Is a great mistake.
Those bonds are thrown out past all
redemption by the Constitution of the
United States fourteenth amendment)
and there is no help for it. They are
really worth no more than a ship that
has gone down to the bottom of the
sea without insurance. But still, as
drowning men will catch at straws,
the holders Of these rebel cotton loan
bonds are bound to try their chances
under this new treaty.

travels in Thibet, which he visited
disguised as a Chinaman. Among his
stories is the following; He was just

and decked with gaplands OF flowers,
came out of a grove and surrounded
him, some of them holding his mule,
while others assisted him to alight.
He was then led into a grove, where
he found feast being prepared, and
after be had eaten and smoked his

NEWARK, N. J., July 2.-Oliver
Halstead was killed this evening by
George Bolt. A woman named Viii
son was the cause. He and Mrs.
Wilson were very intimate, and Bolts
jealousy caused him to break into the
room the pair occupied. Halstead,
who was instantly killed by a pistol
shot, was the intimate friend of Mrs.
Lincoln and of Senator Sprague.
The verdict of the coroner's jury is
that George Bolts did feloniously kill
and murder Oliver Halstesd, Jr., by
shooting him in the left breast with
a pistol.
