The New York papers give the follow
ing details of one of the more recent finan-
cial operations of Mrs. Dick Connolly,
consort of the chief Syndic of the four
Tammany rulers of that city,;
On Wednesday last, Mrs Richard B.
Connolly made formal transfer of half
million dollars in registered United States
bonds to her son-in-law, Joel Fithian,
Esq. The transfer was immediately tele-
graphed to Washington and entered on
the books of the Treasury Department.
Mrs. Connolly still possesses three and a
half million dollars in unregistered bonds.
At a sale on Wednesday of large
amount of the stock of the Tradesmen's S
Bank, of this city, one of the purchasers,
and that to the amount of $1s0,O00, was

estimable Comptroller In view of the
prospective retirement ofthe Comptroller,

know that some part of the "swag" is so
securely and accessibly invested as in this
particular instance. We take it for grant

has been stolen, and, secondly, where

Attack on the Bark Brothers,

| WASHINGTON, Sept 12.
Information has been received here that
the American bark Harvest Home. ar
| rived at Galveston on Wednesday morn
ing last, bringing Captain Thurston and
crew of the American bark Brothers
They give the particulars of the engage
ment off the coast of Minatitlan, Mexico
A special dispatch from Galveston to the
New Orleans Times says the two vessels
We're loading at Minatitlan with mahoga-
ny and other freights for Europe. For
some bad conduct, Captain Thurston had
ironed one or two of his sailors, and their
friends ashore hearing oft made demand
for the prisoners. Captain Thurston re-
fused to give them up, saying he was fully
able to control and take care of his own
men. He was told his life was in danger
and he must give up the men. This oc-
Cured on shore. The Captain returned to
his vessel and found Capt Dickey, of the
Harvest Home, on board, who was there
on friendly visit. Shortly afterward a
party OF Mexicans, eight or ten in number
came out from the shore, pulled alongside
the Brothers and got on board, protesting
all the time the greatest friendship for their
leader Roman RipoId, clerk for the CON
signee of Captain Thurston's vessel, was
the only one who spoke English. While
seated around the Captain, as if by pre-
concerted plan, the Mexicans sprung to
their feet, and with drawn revolvers and
cutiasses demanded the surrender of the
ship. The Captain shouted never at
the same time making an effort to secure
the arms of the nearest man, which was
the clerk. The mate of the vessel, rush
ing forward with the Captains revolver,
shot and killed Ripold. BY this time all
hands had come on deck, and hand to-
hand fight ensued. Eight Of the attacking
party were killed, and two made their es-
cape. Captain Thurston, knowing if he
remained there he would be attacked by a
superior force, made sail, slipped his an
chor and tried to get to sea. There hcing
no breeze he was forced to the small
boats, not having time to secure even a
drop of water, or anything to eat. In the
meantime Captain Dickey had returned to
his ship. True to his anticipations, Capt
ThurstOn saw two boats come out from
the shore and pull directly toward his
vessel, as he supposed, to board her He
put to sea out of their resch and beat
about until picked up by Captain Dickey
on the night Of the 2Sth, having been near
ly thirty hours without food or water
On the night of the 9th, party of somC
seventy or eighty strong came out from
shore, and when within short distance
of Capt. Dickey opened fire on his vessel
This party was armed with rifles and
howitzer. The Captain reserved bi.
fire until the enemy were within
three boats length of his ship, ant
then let fly at them, and they retired
Immediately to the shore. A breez
springing up, Captain Dickey got unde
way, steering for the nearest American
port, which was Galveston. The wound
ed men of both vessels have been sent t.
the hospitals.

BRANDY AND WATER AS FUEL.-Thc
Chicago Journal says:
The general belief that the Congress
man of to day is much worse sort of a
person than the Congressman of long ago,
is notIentirely correct. 1t appears from
an incident related in recently published
volume, entitled "The Domestic Life of
Thomas Jefferson" that our revolutionary
forefathers in Congress assembled" had
their little items of incidental expenses.
many of them quite as queer as those
which astonish the constituents of to-day.
The following story is related by Mr..
Jefferson, concerning the first Continent
al Congress:
Delegate Harrison, ofVirginia, desiring
to stimulate" presented himself and a
friend at certain place where supplies
were furnished for Congress, and ordered
two glasses of brandy and water. The
man in charge replied that liquors were
not included in the supplies furnished
Congressman.
why" said Harrison, "what is it, then
that l see the New England members
come and drink ?"
"Molasses and water, which they have
charged as stationery" was the reply.
Then give me brandy and water"
quoth Harrison, "and charge it as fuel"

Spending winter as invalids at Aiken,
South Carolina, the Hon. Thurlow Weed
and Mr.. Thomas c. Acton whiled away
one Sabbath afternoon by attending ne
gro church, and were accompanied by Mr..
John A. Kennedy, who was on a visit of a
few days to Mr. Acton. When they en-
tered the primitive temple the preacher,
who was pure African, was graphing
with all the fervor of his race with the
old, old subject of the fall ofman. Sketch
ing that day in the Garden, with its ter
rible results, he excoriated Mr.. Adam in
this fashion, %
Now, brederen, when de Lord calls
Adam to 'connt did he stan up like man,
confess his sin and ask forgiveness? He
didn't do noffin of de sort, bredesen, but
he say: ~
"Lord, de woman dat Dou gubest me
CUB me for to eat ita
Pausing moment he repeated:
"'De woman dat Dou gubest me CUB me
for to eat" {"
Then again:
ode woman dat DoU gubest me CUB me
for to eat'
Oar, Bredren, you see dat mean, skulk-
in Adam was tryin' to sneak out of it
by frowin' all de blame on de Lord his

much for the distinguished white trash
who had fortunately taken seats near the
door, and they retired into the fields to in
dulge in irreverent laughter. m
