NV Dear Sir-l have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter of April 10, 1871
informing me of your connection with the case
of NJ. NJ Pomery and his wife, applicant for
divorce. Mrs. Pomeroy applied to me i'll very
ladvlikc and proper note stating that she de-
sired to engage my SerN ccS AS counsel, anu
saw no objection to taking retainer in the case.
did not intend to inform her that | should do
il gratuitously, but | undoubtedly should have
done 50 except that | could have compelled
Pomeroy to pay my fee. | am glad to be in
formed that the fact of my employment having
become known to her husband, he has cOnclud-
ed to make Il settlement with her, giving her
$4,000 in cash, as you inform me. and paying
5000 a wear toward the education of their child
1t is certainly very agreeable to know that |
have been able to make the man dlsgorge the
money he has made out Of me in favor Of a
woman whom lie has injured and abused, and
who. | am informed, an estinable lady. BY
abuse of me, and aidcring to the worst pas
sions and credulities Of his readers, he has been
able to sell his paper as to make living for
himself, and even u competence, as | under
stand. Now, in Justice he should pay me a
portion Of that, and if my employment by his
wife as her counsel, has caused him to take n
part of that which belongs to me and provide
for her sustcnancc, shall have the satisfaction
OF knowing that. while he has injured and
abused ne, am in fact supporting his family
| have done some charitable acts i'll my life of
which | have no disposition to boast, but none
upon which moro pride myself than of being
the bcncfaCtor and supporter Of the family Of

Mr.. Boutwell, proposes to have the Gus
tom House officials wear uniforms. There
is no doubt sufficient Of the .'sodger''
about them generally to warrant this step.
We shall look with great interest to see
the measure carried ont in this vicinity.

The Connecticut Election Governor Eng
Iish will Refuse to Yield to Mr.. Jewell.

NEW YORK, May !. Gov. English of Con-
nccticut was interviewed yesterday on the sub
iect of the recent election, and when asked if he
thought the Legislature would throw out the
vote of the Fourth Ward of New Haven, is rep
resented to have said: 1T may be that they
may do such thing, not because they have any
right TO DO so. as the facts are now known about
the election, but because desperate men will
hesitate at nothing. The party here are only
following in the footsteps of their fellows at
Washington. Entertainments upon the rights
of the people and of the individual States have
been going on gradually until we have reached
Il prospect that is anything but hopeful. The
mon who favor and foster these encroachmentS
arc bold men, and the question OF the right OF Il
thing has no weight with them if it interteres
with their plans. | have no ambition to be
Governor for the sake of the Governorship;
but ! have struggled against these cncroach-
mcnts of the Radical party on our liberties on
principle, and | will not give up the fight when
the dangers seem thicker than ever Being
asked what he would do if the vote was thrown
out, the Governor said he would refuse to give
up the office to Mr. Jewell, and abide the de-
cisiOn of the court.
Hartford, Ct, May Q.
In view of facts shown in the investigation in
New Haven. it is probable that the Legislative
Committee, on the canvas votes Will report TO
the Legislature on its reasSembling on Wednes-
day afternoon that Marshall Jewell is elected
Governor by the people, and that resolution
will be offered declaring him elected. whether
there will he a discussion on TINS, ana us
passage delayed, is not known. Neither is it
yet known what day will be celebrated as IN
luguration day, or whether there will be public
inauguration ceremonies and the usual parade.
If the passage of the resolution IS Delayed be-
yond Wednesday, it is probable that the Gov
ernor elect viii Take the oath Of Office after
hena declared elected, and that he will conf
municatc hv message with the General As
semblv on Tuesday of next week, when he will
be formally inauguratei, and the usual parade
md ceremonies which have characterized cleo
ton dav from time immenorial, will be observ-
ed. II has been limited that If Jewell is declared

A DISTILERY UNDERGROUND,

was discovered at the South End in this
city, the other day. A fire broke out on
the premises, and q fireman, working at
the fire, discovered another fire under Il
vat. Word being sent to Mr.. Hayes, the
revenue inspector, he proceeded to inves-
tigate the matter, and found five watts,
under what was seemingly an innocent
cooper's shop and a vinegar factory. The
cooper's shop had a double floor, the
under one being covered over with loose
earth. A trap door through these gave
entrance to the lower regions, where the
illegal transactions We're carried on.
Both partners We're arrested and held in
$1,000 each for carrying on an unlicensed
distillery.

sEMI-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.
The principal event Of the past week
in Boston was the semi centennial cele-
bration Of the Boys English High School.
Great interest was felt in the occasion,
and it was a surprise even to Bostonians,
as they stood in double, and sometimes
triple lines. in the streets through which
the procession passed, to see so many Of
our most useful, prominent and honored
citizens, graduates of this High School,
There were clergymen, ex-mayors, and
members of Congress. The procession
was quite long, and contained represent
tatives of all the classes which have grad
uated since the school was established,
from 1921 up to the present time The
exercises in Music Hall were exceedingly
interesting. There was unveiled to the
admiring view Of the vast audience a
marble burst of Mr. Shcrwin, late master.
1t is work of art of the highest order,
and the likeness perfect. 1t was eN-
ecuted by one of the graduates OF the
school. The effect of the unwilling was
peculiar, producing mingled feelings of
sorrow and delight, which cannot be dc
scribed. The music by the choir of the
school was excellent, as were also the ad-
dress. poem and Grafton. The poem
abounded in fine passages of thought,
pathos, wit, and humor. The course Of
study in this institution is, except in he
Greek and Latin, up to the ave rage of the
Colleges in this country.

THE bill to amend the bankrupt act
recently introduced by General Butler,
provides that nothing in the act establish
ing uniform system of bankruptcy, or
any act amendatory thereof, shall be held
to divest the wife of any bankrupt of her
right of dover in her husbands estate.
General Butler thinks such legislation
necessary on account of the recent decision
of court in Pennsylvania, which put an
opposite Interpretation upon the law. The
second section of the bill provides that
the words Cuisines and trading corpora
tions," wherever they occur in said act,
shall be construed and held to include
all railroad corporations. In two States
decisions have been made by the courts
that railroads can be put into bankruptcy
the same as other corporations, but in
three other States the courts have put a
directly opposite construction upon the
law; hence the necessity for legislation to
declare explicitly the meaning of the
statute.

Fort AKRON has been occupied by the
Germans. This important success estab-
fishes the besieging force within the outer
works of the French at one of the weakest
points along their line Of defence. Fort
De Rosny, Immediately in front of the
captured work, and hardly more than mile
distant, stands on an elevation no higher
than that of the position just taken. Forts
Nogent and Noisy on its right and left are
located on lesser elevations and not more
difficult ground, and with Fort De Rosny
captured are indefensible. The Germans
were able to throw shells from the guns
which reduced Fort Avron into the suburbs
of Paris at Bellville. From Avron the
same guns will be able to reach points in
the city within the walls.

FRANCE refuses to engage in the Con-

FRANCE refuses to engage in the Con-
ference on the Eastern Question, and it has
consequently been postponed until one OF
the chief signatory Powers which formed
the treaty, can freely engage in it. France
doubtless hoped by this refusal to compel
tho recognition of the Republic, but Eng
land and Austria are not likely to commit
themselves hastily while Prussia remains
SO strong and France so weak. The in
teresting question which now comes up,
is, will Russia postpone her designs un-
til France is free from her enemy and in
a condition to take part in the Confer
ence and the struggle with which it may
possibly end
Russia has not chosen the moment of
the French embarrassment to threaten war
In order to await the recovery of that
power before precipitating it. We should
do Prince Gortschakoff injustice to credit
him with SO little sagacity. Russian
preparations have continued pending the
negotiations for conference and demon
STATIONS will undoubtedly follow the re-
fusal Of France to enter the Congress.
Indeed, the action of Roumania in declar-
ing her independence and forming a new
government appears to be but part of the
programme of further action.
