Harper's Weekly and the Swamp Angels.
That enterprising illustrated journal, Har-
per's Weekly, in its current issue, evinces its
appreciation of live topics by a number Of
capital sketches of the exploits of the Lowery
gang of outlaws, as detailed in the graphic
letters of the HERALD correspondent, which
have evoked such universal interest In the
mongrel Rob Roys of North Carolina. Por-
traits of several Of the gang are given, and
will be found to bear out the pen and ink
sketches of the HERALD correspondent. Some
of the most notable incidents in their careers
are also picturesquely depicted. The daring
and enterprise which have been exhibited
by the HERALD writer's in all parts
of the habitable globe, supported
by an unstinted expenditure of means
on the part of this journal, are sufficiently re-
warded in its services to the cause of human
ity and in the applause Of the civil
lied world. 1t is gratifying, then, to
be able to point to another journal which
in Its own sphere exhibits its constant
desire to keep pace with the progress in jour-
nalism Of which we are proud to stand at the
head The admirable services which the Carl
catures Of Thomas Mast did in helping the
overthrow of corrupt Tammany, displaying at
once the talent of the artist and the resolution
Of the reformer, is subject of which mention is
now almost needless. In his current picto-
rial attacks on the ''sorshead" opponents Of
President Grant and his cartoon Of the over
throw of the Erie Ring, he shows that his
pencil and wit have In no wise lost their keen
ness by seeking other objects for their just
scorn and rdicule. A live paper is Harper's

EARL GRANvILLE's SECOND NOTE ON THE
ALABAMA CLAIMs-THE AMERICAN CASE FOR
INDIRECT DAMAGES "A cable despatch dated
in London this morning reports, on Eng
fish newspaper authority, that Earl Gran
ville's second note in reply to Secretary
Fish's dispatches on the Alabama claims
case was delivered to Minister Schenck last
Wednesday. 1t as asserted that ia this CON-
munication the English Foreign Secretary
maintains his position against the American
claim for indirect damages, which,
1t is said, he 'repudiates." He proposes,
however, that the counter cases on both
sides be lodged with the Geneva Board Of
Arbitration at the proper moment, and that
this be done without prejudice to the position
taken with regard to indirect damages. This
looks to us like an attempt to return to
the first principle, or the ''as you were"
OF the drill of diplomacy. There appears
an inkling of more complete acknowledge
ment by Great Britain of the fact that there is
"something" in the indirect damages case as
presented from Washington; aud even that Is
good deal TO gain from diplomatist like
ErapYiIle. Mama ssi perit0s.

The NEW COURT HOUSE AND COMPTROLLER
GREENS OpPoRTUNITY.-Hal century ago
hundred and fifty thousand dollars were con-
sidered large expenditure for Court House
for the county Of New York. The present
Court House, according to Comptroller Green's
report, in answer to resolution of the State
Senate, has already cost over eight millions,
and the prospect is that its completion will
require five millions more. Thirteen millions
for Court House in the county of New
York; This reaches the amount that
was required for the completion Of the
Capitol of the nation at Washington.
What Comptroller Green should do is this
He has the opportunity to signalze his reign
as Comptroller by completing the construction
of the new Court House within the shortest
possible period No one who has the credit
and the honor Of the city at heart will be-
grudge an expenditure that will wrest the city
from its present poverty Of County Court
House accommodations, and Comptroller
Green is just the man to help the work along.

reason, therefore, morally, socially, politi-
cally and economically, why the work OF
rapid transit should be undertaken by the
city, and why the two great roads we have
mentioned-the East River Side and North
River Side Viaducts-should be built and run
as public works.
The prejudice existing in some minds
against the city proprietorship of railroads is
mainly fostered by the spectators who seek
to secure for their advantage these valuable
franchises. No sound argument can be ad-
vanced against the principle The Croton
Water Works stand to-day as proof of the
wisdom of keeping these great interests in the
hands of the people, and not placing them at
the mercy Of private monopolies. Water
would be an expensive luxury in New York at
the present moment II its supply had been left
in the hands Of a private corporation. The
Central Park we have already alluded to as an
evidence of the fidelity with which an honest
commission can prosecute public work on
behalf Of the people. The steam railroads are,
next to full and cheap supply Of water, the
most important and valuable interest in the
city to the masses Of the population. Let them
become the prey Of a greedy corporation and
they will be nothing more than mockery to
those who are in the greatest need Of rapid
and cheap transit; let them be built and man.
aged honestly by the city itself, and they will
be blessing to more than half the residents
of the metropolis.

learn from the London telegram report which
we publish in the He RAID to-day that the
English Universities annual boat race be-
tween the students Of Oxford and Cambridge,
which was to have been rowed on the Thames
tomorrow, 2Sd instant, may not be contested,
the match having been declared ''off," as we
are informed, on good authority, in the
British capital yesterday afternoon. This
action was taken, it is alleged at the instance
of the Oxford men, who refused to ''tug the
oar The resolve of the boys in clark blue"
will surprise our readers, should it be main
tanned to positive final perseverance. Both
crews were, as will be seen by our statement
of facts, well organized; the mon were Of
weight and mettle; Clasper and Salter were
ready with the boats, the training was pleas
ant and continuous and it will be really
regretable If full confirmation of the news
of public disappointment should be deliv-
cred to us by cable to-day. The Oxfords have
not been in ''humor" during the past few years.
Cambridge came out with its more democratic
muscle, which enabled its "men" to deliver
the long and strong swing-stroke OF victory.
The results of the later contests were not,
consequently, pleasing to the more aristocratic
element of English society. The ''race" itself
did not enjoy the full warmth Of the smile of
royalty in 1871 so that, all things considered,
perhaps it may be fact that the 'jolly good"
sport of the British national Constitution" of
the Universities boat race has passed away
with the glory of the "wooden walls" of their
navy for the countrymen Of Duncan, Nelson,
Howe and Jervis.
The very latest despatch, dated in London
yesterday evening, affords hope that the race
may come off, as arranged, tomorrow. The
statement is perplexing, however, by its word
ing. 1t is not positive, nor, indeed, very dis
tinct. One may infer from it that the Oxford
men did not withdraw from the strife, but that
the Cambridge boys did; that the first report
was genuine, but lacked actual confirmation,
or that the rumor of withdrawal was q mere
canard, such as has been set a1oat in almost
similar terms at different times on the eve of
great sporting ''events" both in the Ola World
and the New.

advantages of the Central Park.
Two viaduct roads are demanded for the ac-
commodation of the population Of New York
one to run on the west side Of the city, from
the Battery to Spuyten Duyvl Creek, and the
other on the east side, from the Battery to
Harlem bridge. These roads should be built
along the line of the rivers, either between the
blocks nearest to the rivers Or along the new
streets contemplated in the comprehensive
and admirable plan of the Dock Commission
ers. The alleged Inconvenience of getting
across town from these river roads is not
worth consideration, as the speed of travel
would render the trouble of reaching the CEN
ire OF the city from either branch immaterial.
by means of such roads the working classes
of the population would be enabled to reach
the pure air of the extreme northern end
of the island or Of Westchester county
in less time than Is now consumed
in making the journey between the Battery
and Twentieth street. The river streets from
the starting point of the roads through their
entire length would be benefited instead of in
jured, and warehouses and wholesale business
houses would crowd out the present shanties
and tumble-down buildings aud infected dis
trcts on both sides of the city. The assessable
value of real estate all through the island
would be materially increased, and the general
rate Of taxation correspondlugly diminished
The health and morals of half a million Of
people would be improved by their release
from the impure air of close streets and

The Richest Man in the World,

The Khedive of Egypt is probably the
richest man in the world. His yearly
income is 100000, and he has twenty
five richly furnished palaces within the
walls of Cairo. He is vastly more pro-
grassive than the Sultan, his Turkish
master; is rapidly extending his do
minions, building railroads, and making
commercial improvements, and viii
ultimately become Independent ofTurk-
ish domination, He is at present max
ing arrangements for the connection of
a railroad up the Nile to Dongols, and
thence across the desert to Loudau,
which country he will make one of his
OWL provinces. 1t has been remarked
Of him that "the Viceroy, upon any
throne in Europe, would be the greatest
monarch Of the age" He is not only a
prince, but q merchant, a capitalist, a
statesman and a c~ultivator. He sleeps
only four hours cut of twenty'four, and
at his desk centre his railroads, steam
ship lines, t~elegraphs, postal service,
private-estates, sugar mills, cotton cul-
ture, army, navy and civil service.

Wool

BOSTON, Nov. 2.-The long looked for
and much desired improvement in the
wool market seems to have come, so far
as sales are concerned, the footings being
larger than for any week for several
months, and this Notwithstanding the
fact that wool purchased cannot be
moved. For some weeks manufacture
ers have been in the market prospect
ing, and have at last come to the con
clusion that the bottom has been
reached, in prices, and that they must
buy now or pay more for the same
stocks.
In fleece wool there has been someim-
provement in prices, and for Ohio and
Pennsylvania X and Xxx fleece, holders
are asking from two to five cents per
pound more than three weeks ago. The
sales which have been made, however,
do not indicate quite so much Of an ad-
vance, many Of them having been made
early in the week, before the advance.
Many Of the best fleece wools in the
Boston market are held for still higher
rates, and as the stock is very small the
market rules very firm, with q strong
upward tendency.
As much of the wool now in the mar
ket cost from $50 to zoe, holders are more
cheerful than when selling at a loss OF
8 or 10 cents pound. We hear OF one
or W spectators who are making Of
fers for fleece woods at an advance upon
the prices of two weeks ago. There is
also some speculative demand in the
West-OoHlmercidL Bulletin.

vociferously called for, and appeared

ED. CHRoEIcLE-The musical portion
Of our citizens enjoyed rich treat this
week in attending a musical convention
in our place conducted by Prof. c. c.
ORse, assisted by Mrs. Case, pianist.
The convention commenced on Tuesday
and continued four days, closing last
evening with grand concert. The en-
tire session and the concert was q sue
cess. The class numbered about fifty
members, including several good sing
ers from other places. The book used
was George F. Roots latest work, ''The
Glory" furnished by Mr.. Case, The
church vas well filed but not crowded,
and the music performed by the class
gave entire satisfaction. The exercises
consisted Of songs, duets, quGrtetts and
heavy chorusses by the whole class,
accompanied by the piano. The closing
piece Of the evening was the noted "An-
vii Chorus" performed at the Peace
Jubilee. This is the first convention
MI. and Mrs. Case have conducted in
our town, and their presence with us at
this time has won for them our respect
and esteem, and we think we are well
favored in having those in our part of
the county who are so well qualified to
conduct musical conventions.

CLOSING Furnaces on Sunday:

The Pottsville Miners Journal says:
Our readers will reeollect that we
wrote an article some time ago on the
closing of furnaces on Sunday. In
that article we stated that the Messrs.
Bagnalls, of England, some thirty
years ago ceased working their fur
naces On Sunday, and after a fair tri-
al, as they operated a large number,
they arrived at the conclusion that
the advantages derived by closing
them up on Sunday, were SC much
greater than the disadvantages in
CURED in every respect, that theyhave
not worked them since on the Sab
bath day. The Marquette Mining
Journal gives the following account
Of an attempt made by some parties
in Ohio to close their furnaces Sunday.
"But some half dozen have at
tempted to suspend on Sunday, and
two or three, possibly four, are now
doing so. But they do not get the
same results which are obtained by
running without the Sunday inter
mission, and no one claims that they
can. They not only lose the products
Of Sunday, but are frequently unable
to get their stacks in smooth working
order for a day or two following.
at has not been disputed that labor
could in a great measure be suspended
at a blast furnace on the Sabbath-for
charges have been held in the cruici-
BILE for several days without a chill
following-but it is the great length
of time spent in bringing the condi-
ton of the furnace back to the maxi
mum working capacity which inter-
feres with the adopting of such a rule.
Iron making is not unlike the great
operations of nature which form the
hills and the valleys, and which are
only interrupted in their progress by
some great CONFUSION, and to carry
the process to its greatest perfection
an uninterrupted movemsnt of all the
forces required for manufacture must
be secured"

Mass Convention at Niles.

The last grand rally Of the Republic
cans Of this county in the nov rapidly
closing presidential campaign, was a
Miles en- Saturday last Although the
day was ~unfsvorable, in consequence o.
the inclemency Of the weather, q large
crowd, among which were many ladies'
assembled at Union Hall to listen to the
able exposition by Hons. James A. Gar
field and Alphonso Hart, OF the crafty
ing results attendant upon the labor OF
the present administration during the
past four years.
The Convention was called to order
by Capt. A. J. Dyer, who introduced
! Hon. Alphonso Hart. We shall not at
tempt a synopsis OF the remarks made
suffice it to say the manner Of their re-
ception fully attested their merit. With
no deliberately conceived sophisms did
the speaker endesTor to win prestige
for the cause of Republicanism, but by
presenting q succession Of plain, incon-
troYertible facts sought to impress his
hearers with the magnitude of their re-
sponsibility in the matter of continuing
in power the administration which more
than any other has advanced the inter
ests OF our country. bis clear and com
prehensive explanation Of our financial
condition was in itself an argument Of
vital interest toall. During the remarks
and at their close the eloquent speaker
was greeted with round after round of
enthusiastic applause.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Harris re-
marks Capt. A. ]. Dyer, in q brief FER
tinent name recalled a pleasing re-
miniscence of army life in which Gen.
Garfield figured prominently. He then
introduced that gentleman, amid the
most u%proarious applause. Hisremarks
were of necessity brief but were deliy-
cred in his Enthusiastically happy
manner. The clear, succinct and forci-
BILE manner in which the arguments
were presented carried conviction with
them. His able review Of some Of the
more salient features of the campaign
was received with and interrupted by
repeated cheers, given in a manner
which evinced keen appreciation Of the
speakers effort. At the conclusion
cheer after cheer rent the air till the
very walls resounded with d~eafening
applause.
