MATUTINAL MUsIC.-Gatherers of junk
and rags revel in a demoniac pleasure when
making their morning rounds through quiet
streets, where citizens foolishly think re-
pose may be INDUCED in. About sunrise
these fellows take singular delight in visit
ing the most secluded streets, where fami-
lies reside, hoping to catch the eyes of sharp
servants who have odd scraps to dispose of,
before the household has left comfortable
beds. Lazy ears are narrowed and sleepy
eyes are opened by discordant sounds of
many bells which jingle out of all harmony,
for the proprietor of that cart has evidently
studied the effects of confusion to some pur-
pose. The scarecrow horse is trimmed
with yillaipous set of noisy bells of all
degrees, except, perhaps, such as are used
by churches and steamboats,. The entire
establishment is rusty and torment, and
occasionally the grinning driver will shrek
doleful cry; even the old nag will occa-
sionalIy make q horrid effort to utter dis
NAL groan; the two old wheels are rickety,
spokes, felloes and tires ready to part COM
pany, but they are held together by SYM
pathetic feeling of poverty and misery.
When this concern passes, woe to all who
crave rest, for peace vanishes on the ap-
proach of that emblem of Refuse. Woe to
the invalid whose nerves need repose, as
nothing but i'll nature and fever follows in
the wake of that seraggy horse, the cracked
bells dusty driver and creaky cart.
In the name of Peace thousands of peace
full citizens implore that this nuisance be
abated; if not entirely, then as far as pos
sible. By what right do these collectors of
refuse make life miserable! Are they alone
licensed TO manufacture a hideous din
which CRATES horribly on all earsl If they
are. then tax them even to prohibition
Will not some genius invent method to
obliterate the craft or that failing, invent
a machine that will belittle this mounted
chiffonier9 We guarantee that the bene-
factors name will be revered as long as
New Orleans is city; we will print his
loved name in letters of gold, that those
who love a matutinal rest may cherish
his memory.

LAST REPORT FROM THE GRAND JURY
The term of this body having expired, the
following report was handed in to Judge
Abel, yesterday, by the foreman, Mr.
Michael Carroll:
District Court:
SIR-At the close of the term your jury
deems it both useless and unnecessary to
follow the course of the many preceding
grand iuries, of commenting at length on the
laws DELAY and defect, the increase OF
crime, ETC., or of dwelling on recommends.
tious touching the various primitive and
charitable institutions.
IL is clear that the Criminal Code of our
State is defective; and it is also clear that,
such as it is, it is equally defectlvely en-
forced.
That crime should therefore, go I'M
punished, and, as a consequence, increase,
Is not matter to challenge special wonder.
Your jury has given much time and
attention to the Investigation OF charges
bearing upon bribery and corruption III
office. but the non existence OF any law on
tie subject defeated its efforts in this direc-
tion. and prevented the probable present
ment or Indictment of many 9th Gals hlgh
in Office.
MANY of the prisons, asylums, hospitals,
etc. visited by your jury are well and al
mirably managed, while few present evl-
dence of the necessity of an entire reform ia
the manner of conducting them. For IN,
stance. the Workhouse and House OF
Refuge, instead of being burden to our
taxpayers, could, with little well directed
effort, be made at least self-sustainlng.
The Insane Asylum, that living horror OF
which SO much has been said and written,
ia of, itself sufficient to call down the curse
of Heaven upon any people who could for 2
single hour countenance the existence Oh
such crying sin among them.
Is it possible to have anything done Tor
the poor insane
Thanking your honor, and the officers OF
the court for the courtesies received, your
Jury respectfully ask for its discharge
M. CARROLL, Foreman.
The Grand Jury was then discharged.
The new Grand Jury will be empannelled
from the venire returnable Monday, Sep

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-01-25

makes the election of General Blair ALI the
more significant. Multitudes of Republi-
cans have ceased to regard the Broad
head letter as of any consequence
as illumination against past reconstruction
and if there is to be an attempt at future re-
construction and new disturbance, the
author of that letter will have abundant
public support in heading the resistance.
The scheme which is now Matching to revive
martial law in the South, as a means Of carry
ing the next Presidential election, will
verify General Blairs prediction, deemed so
wild at the time, that General Grant would
never peaceably lay down his Office if once
elected. Such scheme calls for bold oppo-
sition and what was rashness in 1868 may be
intrepid wisdom in 1872. The insane reck
lessness of the Republicans may render
General Blair very important man. There
is limit beyond which forbearance ceases
TO be a virtue.
General Grant and the Republican leaders
had best deal honestly with the people, and
consent to take their chances in fair cleo
tion, without again attempting to control the
South by bayonets.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-01-25

Oregon went Democratic in 1870 by a far
smaller majority than at her State election Of
1865 yet, when she came to vote for Presi-
dent, she gave Seymour but 164 majority
over Grant; while California (also Democratic
in her preceding State election) went for
Grant by 514 majority. We regard both of
them, with Nevada, as very doubtful for 1872.
Virginia, Indiana, and Alabama were barely
carried Democratic in 1870, and may all be
recovered upon the full vote always cast for
President. So may North Carolina, especially
if the Democracy turn Governor Holden out
of Office, as they are quite likely to do.
OF the States we have placed in the Re-
publican column, only Pennsylvania, Florida,
and Arkansas are at all questionable
Arkansas gave some 2900 Republican ma
jority on Congress, though we threw away
two of the three Representatives in Congress
by personal feuds; but the Legislature is very
strongly Republican. Pennsylvania was close
on the popular vote last October, but, il q
fair allowance is made for the districts dis
tracted by personal feuds, there is Republi-
can majority Florida is disputed, but Re-
publican by a close vote.
We drifted astern much further in go than
in 20, but more than recovered our lost
ground when we came to Presidential year,
when almost every legal voter comes to the
front. We purpose to repeat the dose in
1872.

yvANDENHOFF VS.. VANDENHOFF.
From The N Y Hnrld

rTOTn the NJ 4, HoTCd
There is a disgusting squabble going on
over the extremely unimportant question
whether the person who calls himself Charles
II. Vandenhoff in Boston is a natural son of
the person whose name has never been dis
puted to be George w. Vardenhoff in New
York. The anxiety of the former person to
brand himself a bastard is as eager aud as
delicate as the haste of the latter to brand
himself the assailant of a woman whom by
implication he admits himself to have
been at one time upon terms of affectionate
intimacy with. There appears in the
correspondence, or rather the inter
change of manifestoes, of this exemplary
pair every reason why the senior should
desire to disown the junior; but coreason at
all why the junior should be so solicitous to
claim kindred with the senior. Why Mr.. G..
w. Nandenhoff or any other person should
object to have Mr.. G. II. Vandenhoff for a son
is clear. But why Mr.. G. H. Vaudenhoff or any
other person should insist upon having Mr..
&. w. Vandenhof for a father is inexpli-
cable. Let us, therefore, beseech the younger
Vandenhoff to change his name, and cease to
be polemical polecat. That which we call
Vandenhof by any other name would
smell as sweet. In fact it would be likely to
smell much sweeter. Life is short, and art
and Vandenhoff are both long. The latter is
also difficult to spell. Smith is inoffensive
Suppose he tries Smith. No injured Smith
will refuse the equal right of any other man
to be Smith. Nor will any Smith rush
madly into print to besmirch the fame of his
mother under the pretext of denying himself
to be his father. And let US admonish both
parties that the public nostril, though not
over sensitive, may be revolted Perfumes
are extracted from putrescence. But a shovel
full of putridity held under ones nose every
morning is apt to become offensive
