LONDON, April H.. The Times of to-day has
leading editorial upon a report as TO the result
of the labors of the high commission in Wash
ington, in which it says: The case of the Alaba-
ma has always created a feeling of insecurity in
England, and has demoralized American poll
tics We had possible settlement, and think
that the arbitrator will acquit the English of
the responsibility for the deeds of the Alabama.
The Times adds that the Alabama was partially
fitted out at the Azores, and hence Portugal is
liable to our experience The Times
is evidently not sanguine OF the immediate
settlement of the question, for it warns the
public that it is very uncertain whether the
treaty will be ratified by the American senate.

NATURAL HISTORY AssoCIATIoN.-Prof.
Chadbourne, who has been giving lectures upon
geology at the technical school, gave most in
teresting and instructive lecture before the
above named association upon vein mining,
last evening. A goodly number were present,
including many of the students of the technical
sch DOL. Prof. Chadbourne gave a plain and
practical account of the manner of prospecting
for the veins and the working of the mines. He
also explained why it was that so many who in
vested in mining became the poorer therefrom,
which was owing very largely to the frauds
practiced upon them by unprncipled men. The
lecture was listened to with close attention, and
was one of the most useful and practical given
this season.
THE CHORAL UNION turned out in large
numbers, last evening, nearly filling the hall of
the young mems Christian association. The
excursion to Providence appears decidedly popu.
lar; and the members will undoubtedly, as at
their similar excursions in the olden time, enjoy
themselves much. They can, if punctual in
attendance and earnest in practice, at the sue
Ceedng rehearsals prior TO the trip, do them
selves credit at the concert they are TO give in
Providence. In order that the society may
appear to the best advantage it is required of all
persons singing in the chorus that they attend
the next Two Monday night rehearsals.
CHARLES A. BLANCHARD lecturer of an asso-
citation opposed 10 secret societies, gave lecture
at Washbun hall, last evening, on the relation
OF freemasonry to the city government. He be-
gan by general statement of the evil tendency
OF secret societies in sapping the foundation of
clVii ana rehgious liberty; basng his objection
TO the masonic fraternity on the ground of their
supreme obligation to help each other a princi-
pie dangerous to be followed by those holding
official POSITIONS in a republican government
where the supreme obligation above ali Others
should rest in the disposition and desire 10 do
equal ana eXact justice to all parties and all in
terests in the community. This he claimed
the masons were sworn not to do. From III,
point the speaker proceeded to consider whether
freemasonry has any interest," or control in onr
city affairs, and, if So whether it is for good ar
evil. lLong experience and observation have
given Mr.. b. the most exact information on
these points, He clamedt that the Organization
refer ed TO had majority of the aldermen and
common council, aud by virtue thereof the
choice of the various officers elected by them:
that this influence dictated the raising of the
salaries OF those belonging to the order dspro-
portionately to those not so belonging, &C.:
and that this same bad principle also pre-.
vailed, more or less, IN other cities where the
",serk lantern" organization combined for in
fIuel,ee and control in political affairs. Major
ZONES Ns the state police, was accused OF leni-
ency iowa II liquor sellers and other vioators of

PHILADELPHIA.
Another Wife Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, August 3.-Mrs. Gross
vile OF Dr. Carl Gross, on Seventh
street, in Limerick, has been suffering
since the birth Of her child, about
seven days ago, with child-bed fever.
Last night Mr.. Swift learned that DR..
Gross had a fit about IL o'clock, and
hastened to the scene. He found the
wife lying upon the bed lifeless and the
Doctor on the floor, kicking as though
in terrible agony. The corpse Of Mrs.
G. was removed from the bed to bench.
After the removal of the corpse the
Doctor threw his own carcass into the
bed from which his wife had been
taken and went into what is termed to
be a deep slumber. Mr.. Swift re-
mained with him an hour and then
went out for cigar. On returning he
had disappeared. The neighhors re-
port that three days before the birth Of
the child Gross had beaten his wife Sc
yerelv with a cowhide, and attmept-
ed to take from her her child,
when she fled and sought shelter with
the next door neighbor. 1t ls thought
the whipping and excitement caused
premature birth, which greatly added
to cause her death. About three weeks
ago he threw her from the house.
About an hour before the unfortunate
woman died colored woman went into
the cottage and found heavy feather
bed on her and nobody but her husband
attending her, and when che attempted
to take the bed from the dying woman
she was ordered to desist by the hus-
band. Not long since the injured wife
eudeavored to sell her feather bed and
other articles in order to procure money
to return to her mother in Chicago. DR..
Gross is a young man, not over thirty
two years OF age, and his wife was not
vet twenty-one and was woman well
beloved by all who knew her. She lay
this morning until ll;30 before the ar
rival OF the coroner, who made imme-
date preparations for holding an In
quest. Her husband has not been
heard OF, and it is thought be has COM
mitted suicide. The coroners jury
returned the verdict OF, 1--WE ofthe jury
believe, from the evidence, that death
was caused by the i'll treatment OF her
husband, Dr. Carl Gross, during con-
fipement.'

advanced upon the Southern and Cult
States, still remains, but is slightly di'

vanCng somewhat, is now decidedly

FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
ChnrIest0n-The kanawha Valley

CHARLESTON, WEST Va, July 81 1871.
.McSsrs. EiitorS Upon my return to
this section of our country, after so
brief an absence as three months, |
could not fail TO be impressed, at
once, with the great change in the way
of rapid and valuable improvements,
and the increased spirit OF enterprise,
that confronted me at every hand.
West Virginia has, indeed taken new
start, and deserves to be congratulated
upon the numerous evidences thereof,
that she presents everywhere within
her limits, but especially along the line
other greatest source Of recent develop,
ment and enduring prosperity: the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway. With,
| in the last two years, it is no exaggera'
ton, think, for me to say, the Kanaw
ha valley and the whole northwestern
portion Of this State, have undergone
greater change in the material con-
dition, and for the better. than was ex.
perienced by her citizens in the previous
tortv wears. The old order of existence
here, that recognized general stagua'
ton as a most lovely condition OF things
and enterprise as inadmissible innova'
ton. has been nearly uprooted. and a
new and bene6cient era has dawned
upon this people, comforting, among
other choice blessings, about four thou
sand majority upon the Democratic
candidate for Governor last fall
Here and there, however, there il

MEMPHIS, August 3.-The jackson
Miss J Pilot of to-day has the follow.
ing: The liquidation which has been
pending for some time between the
Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Com
pauy and the New Orleans and Jackson
railroad has resulted in favor OF the
telegraph company. The United States
Court, Judge Hill presiding, sustains
the Injunction to restrain the. railroad
company from interfering with the erec'
ton of the line, and refuses to enyo'n
the telegraph company from building
the line This decision insures the
comnlerion of Q competing line to New
Orleans without further delay, and Is a
matter of cougratulation to that com
papy, and especially to their Super'n'
tendent, Mr.. F. N. Speed, whose nn'
tiring energy has thus overcome tine
many obstacles thrown in his way. The
importance OF the above decision to
both railroad and telegraph comp inies
is evinced by the eminent array o.
counsel retained in the case. Judges
Yerger aud Harris appeared for the
railroad company and Messra Adans
and Speed, .of Vicksbefe for sthetsie
