Umpire-Mr. Medart.
The Cnse Of DR.. Howard.

NEW YORK, j uly 3l.-Letters from Cadiz,
Spain, give the latest intelligence from DR.
EmeliO Howard. He was awaiting re-
mttance from relatives, and expected to
sail direct from Cadiz, July %, in the
steamer Alexandria, for New York. DR.
Howard tells how he was compelled to ac-
cept his release based on a pardon. There
upon he sent to the Spanish government
vigorous protest, concluding as follows:
" Conscious of my innocence of each and
every one of the charges by virtue of
which | was sentenced by the Cuban gen
eTal of wax to ten years imprisonment and
cOniscatiOn of my property, l protest
against the idea that in thus being elected
from prison, admit my guilt or abandon
any claim may have on the Spanish gov
eminent for damages and redress. In wit
ness whereof, l enter this protest at the
consulate of the United States in the city
Of Cadiz, the tenth day of July, 1872 be,
fore the consul of my nation"
Howard denOunces the Jail at Cadiz as
filthy beyond description, and the jailOr as
a veritable devil in human shape. He de-
clares he has for nearly two years suffered
cruel, uniustitable and illegal imprisOn-
ment, his business meantime being ruined
and his health impaired. Having never
been granted any hearing in the civil court,
he claims, as an American citizen, that
Spain has violated her treaty with the
United States, and on arriving in America
he will seek redress by all possible means.
The pardon forced upon him he regards as
insult added to injury.

STANLEY. the Livingstone DiscOverer.

Il
AS there is some curiosity to know about
Mr. Stanley, the .discOverer Of DR.. Living
stone, we copy the following from Harper's
Weekly:
Mr. Henry NJ. Stanley, the leader of the
Herald expedition, Is native Of Missouri,
and, raised" in the border wilderness, en-
ioyed comparatively scanty educational ad-
vantages. His parents died while be was
still very young, and he found himself.
about the middle of the war; youth of
eighteen, with a small patrimOny yielding
modest annual income, but without calling
or profession. He had, however, the ambI-
tiOn and industry that are our most con-
spicuous national characteristics, and look
ing about for a field in which - dis tinguish
himself, he drifted East, and became war
correspondent of the Herald. His chief re-
COMMUNICATION at this time was his energy
and industry and fearlessness in collecting
facts, not the style in which he told them;
for, although he had previously shown some
indications of literary ability, and had Occa-
sionalIy found a place in the poets corner
of obscure country papers, his pen was as
vet neither practiced nor fluent. During
the war he succeeded in doing his duty, and
established a steady, but not very brilliant
reputation. About year after the surren-
der he temporarily left the journal with
which his name has since become SO closely
associated.
In 1866, or the early part of 1867, he de-
termined to 20 to Europe and enlist in the
CTetan- army as volunteer, making ar
engagements before leaving New York to
send occasional letters to the Herald. He
was, however, greatly disappointed IN the
character of his intended companions IN
arms, and soon changed his plans He
then, in company with three travelling com
patriots one Of whom was his step-brOther,
arranged for a walking tour through the
heart of Asia, passing through Asia Minor,
the provinces Of Russian Asia, the Khan
ates, Bokhara and khiva, Eastern Turkes-
tan, and so through China to the coast.
This project, however, came to disastrous
end. The little party had penetrated only
hundred miles from Smyrna, when 1T was
pIundered by brigands and compelled to
return.
The next year Mr.. Stanley spent in traV-
cling about Europe. In 1868 he accOmpa-
MED the Abyssinian expedition To Magdala,
and cOntrived on several occasions to get
important news through to New York ahead
of the dispatches of the British government
and of the rival correspondents. These
successes, of course, strongly recommended
him to the favor of his journal, and when
the Herald determined upon its quest of
the great explorer, Mr.. Stanley was selected
to head the expedition.
Mr.. Stanley is now about twenty-nine
years of age He is a thickset, powerful
man, though, like William the COnQuerOr
and other celebrated people, he is short in
stature-Only about five feet seven inches.
A sure shot, an expert swimmer, prac-
ticed hOrseman, and a trained athlete, with
very wide and varied experience of
" rOughing it, he was admirably fitted for
the duty he has so gallantly and success
fully DeFfOrmed.

The Peace ReuniOn.

From the Louisville Courier-JourualI
Arrangements for a. national reunion at
the falls of the'OhiO river are at length set
on foot an organization has been Effected
working committees have been appointed;
the eleventh ana twelfth of September
have been chosen as the time, and there is
no reason to doubt that the proposed peace
meeting will be a great affair.
Kentucky and Indiana, represented di-
rectly by Louisville, JeffersOnville and
New Albany, will do their part. The sea-
son and the point are pTOpitiOus. No stint
of money in the equipment, and no lack of
warmth in the welcome, will mark this
honest effort to revive Old-time memories,
sentiments and associations.
Carl SchuIz and John Quincy Adams,
Emerson Etheridge and Ben Hill, Charles
Sumner and Austin Blair, Lyman Trumbull
and HOratiO Seymour, Hendricks, VOOr-
hees, DoOlittle, Vance, Bradley johnson,
GrOesbeck, Walker, Of Virginia, and many
Others eminent in the North and South will
be present.
We hope the Liberal press will every
where aid us in giving the OCCASION univer-
salty and significance. 1t is our design to
make it simple, old fashioned and hearty.
1t is our wish to have it represent the spirit
of hospitality and peace which marked the
ancient era of sectional good will, when
there was union of hearts no less than of
States. The time for such a REVIVAL has
come, and we shall provide the means.

Boutwell, Then and Now.

Washington special to the st. Louis
Republican says:
When Secretary (then Congressman
Boutwell, was one of the prime prosecutors
III the impeachment trial Of Andrew John
son, one of the high crimes and INSIDE
meanors which he alleged against the then
acting President was that of corrupt inter
ference with elections in this, that he sent
agents Of the POstOtfice and Treasury De
partments out into the States electiOneIing,
and that they made long tours and multi
tudinOus speeches in. behalf of the Presi-
dents policy, at the same time drawing
government pay fer which no other services
were rendered; and to make this crime and
outrage Of law more glazing on JOhnsons
part, Boutwell, adduced the instance of two
Cabinet officers being present at political
convention, which had for its object the or
gauzation Of party to sustain the Presi-
dents policy-a fact which, he observed,
was unparalleled in the political history
Of the country.
|. Inview of the fact that not only the Seere-
taTy Ofthe Treasury and Postmaster General
and Secretary of the Interior, but the COM
missioner of pensions, auditors and heads
Of bureaus without number, have been ac-
lively engaged in the North Carolina can
vass on behalf of Grant, Mr. Boutwei's
views in the past on this kind Of business
are. worth reproducing.

A SCIENTIFIC Lovers Revenge.

A truly scientific revenge was recently
effected by a young chemist in Venice,
named Orlando FarneTiDi, upon pair of
lovers, whose mutual passion had disturbed
the current of his own affections. He loved
a young lady, but she loved a young tailor
better. Orlando owed him money for
clothes, and sent word that would pay him
and make his betrOthed a present if they
would both come to his laboratory. They
accepted the invitation, and were politely
received and slyly led in conversation to
the subject of electricity, about which he
had much to say; both listened with aston
ishment. and were quite delighted when
the professor proposed that they should al
low themselves to be electrified. He babe
them give him their hands, put the one pole
of a RunkOrf apparatus between the girls
fingers and the other into the tailOr's hand
and then Joined the currents, A terrible
cry broke from the pair of lovers; they fell
to the ground in cOnvulsive fits, then got
up again, in the greatest torment, but Far
nerini only laughed. The two wretched
beings drew the apparatus after them, tum-
blsd over the furniture, and almost broke
their limbs in their frantic efforts. to rid
themselves of the mighty current, but in
five minutes they lad become two distorted
cOrpses. Then, and only then Farnerinl
stopped the electric fluid, and went to re
port the matter to the police, which he did
with the greatest sang frOid possible.

Interesting Labor Experiments.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad Company has made an expert
ment which, by its successful result, seems
to have solved the LABOR question, 50 far
as the corporation is concerned. Several
months ago the superintendent initiated
the plan Of paying the employees of the
company by the hour. The mechanics in
the shops of the company were all paid by
this standard, while engineers and other
train men were paid according to the mum
Der of miles they ran The latter plan. al
though obviously liable to produce Unequal
tiles OF compensation, is said to have work
ed satisfactorily, so that III busy seasons
the engineers made as much as $50 a
month. In the shops the men were en-
ployed all through the season, but worked
a reduced number of hours, while in slack
times they were also employed fewer hours
instead of being discharged. At first some
of the workmen objected, but a trial of
the scheme is said to have convinced all of
them of its fairness. 1t affords the cOrpOr
alton a perfect protection against strikes
and removes all causes of i'll feeling be-
tween the employers and employed. The
success of the experiment renders it worthy
of attention 20 some extent the same
mode of payment is practiccd by the Read
ing Railroad Company. The braksmen and
probably the engineers and conductors are
paid by the number Of trips made

The President and the COIOred Cadet.

The case of the colOred cadet at West
Point which made so much talk some time
ago has never yet been told in full. We
present this morning a curious contribution
to history in the form of letter from the
Hon. David Clark, of Hartford, who may
be remembered as the patron OF the boy
Smith, to the Hon. Sayles j. Bowen, ex-
mayor of Washington. 1t appears. from
this letter that the real prosecutors of the
cOlOred cadet were not a mere parcel of
school boys and snObbish young military
officers, but Master Frederic Dent Grant
and his excellent father.
The statements of this letter are eXtraOT-
binary, but they are made with every APP
pearance of sincerity and upon most excel
lent authority. A word about the writer of
the letter may not be amiss Mr. Clark is
a wealthy and benevolent gentleman, who
has devoted a large share of bis means to
the education of the Southern blacks. He
has travelled extensively in the South to
study the needs of the freed people he
has given more than $4,000 for the estab-
lshment of schools among them and the
support of teachers, and is constantly Civ
ing more; he gave $50 900 to the Howard
University; his other charities have been
correspOndingly liberal; and throughout
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, especially, he is well known as
warm friend to the cOlored race. He was
a Grant cleCt1r, we believe, in 1868, and
until recently he was a Jealous supporter of
the administration. Whether the organs of
the re-electiOnist5 will have the ettrOntery
to assail the personal character and mo-
tives of this gentleman, as they do all the
opponents of their candidate, We are rather
curious to see.
