A curious question has arisen to disturb the
deliberations of Congress on the distribution Of
the Geneva award The insurance companies,
better organized and more powerful than scat
tered ship-owners, are coming to the front as
the most prominent claimants. How far these
companies can justly participate in the distri-
button of the indemnity fund is knotty and
important question. Our Washington dis
patches indicate that these considerations have
begun to be felt in the discussion which the
division of the award has excited. We may
be sure that there would be general feeling
of disappointment if it should turn out that all
our diplomatic fnesse and figuring had resulted
in q benefit only to the insurance companies of
the country.

There is no reason why the two contesting
parties in Alabama should not agree to the
Williams compromise; yet the Republicans
are hanging off reluctantly, and keep up their
outside organization. 1t should be clearly I'M
derstOod that the basis Of agreement proposed
by Attorney General Williams has no binding
force except so far as it may have been ac-
cepted by both parties to the contest. Mr.
Williams had no more authority in the prem
Uses than any other citizen; his proposal was
solely made in the interests of peace and
tranquility. The Republicans, from the first,
have seemed to think that their strength was
to vote and claim recognition from the Cen
eral Government. They have, probably, been
encouraged In this position by the action of
the Executive IN the Louisiana case.
The Postal Telegraph bill reported in the
Senate, yesterday, is substantially what is
known as "the Hubbard BILL" with some
slight amendments. 1t virtually creates an
incorporated company inside the National
Government, constituting ii a branch of the
Post-0fice Department. and providing the
machinery by which it shall be able to absorb
the property OF telegraph companies already
in existence. The bill is a curious combina-
ton Of private and official persistence, and
has not only every appearance Of d tremen-
deus job, but of an organized attempt to en-
graft on the public service new branch
which may be used for purposes of oppression,
espionage, and popular confusion. 1t does not
kss@ possible that such an extraordinary

Alas the polls, it is feared, arc not pure even IN
Boston. 1t is suspected that there some kind of
monkery at the late municipal election. In Ward
2, it is stated, the returns give Mayor CASTOR 400
votes than he received and just enough to elect
him. We cannot express the grief with which we
read these things, and which is equaed only by
satisfaction. 1t is necessary for us, perhaps to
plain this paradoxical statement Of our emotions.
Well, them we are grieve6 to find our high opinion
of Boston purity rudey shattered and. as it were,
dssipated to the four winds. Per contra, as misery
loves company. we view with sort of wicked COM
placency the gradual approach of Boston to the
level of public virtue in New-York. The immacu-
late city which has snubbed us SO often-what will

The Lord Chancellor of England recently aston
ished all Britain by quoting Wordsworth at ban
quet. 1t was thought to be an extraordinary thing
for dry and musty and technical and prosac law
yer to do The best of the jokewas the free and in
dependent way in which the Chancellor was repre-
sented as reciting wcll-llnown couplet According
to The Post he SAID
"And would wish my days to be
Linked . 20 10 age ia natural piety."
Then The Standard and The Daily heWs had ii as
follows:
at would wish my days 70 be
Linked age to age III 00dly pety."
The telegraph reached the acme of variation by
printing this thus:
"The Uhild's father 10 the man,
And would Uork my days 10 be
Linked each TO each in natural pety."
The Times was more cautions, but hardly more
happy, for it merely remarked that Lord Selborne

1t is said that King Victor Emanuel has sent by
tho hands of Sir Bartle Frero to Livingstone large
medal coInmemoratng his services. Ii the dlfhcul-
ties of African travel have not been exaggerated, 1t
will require an amount Of effort to transmit the
decoration 20 the explorer quito disproportoned TO
its utility. 1t is true that personal ornaments are
not without effect in awning and subduing tho Afrl
can mind and the judicous exposition OF this testi
monial upon some conspicuous portion OF the great
travellers attire might restore the wagering ale
glance of his retinue or strike additional terror to
the bosoms of hostile tribes But thus far the unoS
tentatious and useful brass buttons of his consular
attire have suffced everywhere to subdue to re-
spect, and ncite to helpful offices the casual ugogo
and the incidental umbpoopoo with which his enyl-
roning jungles abound IL other sovereigns had in
numbered Sir Bartle with similar decorations for
the doctor, they would when received by him con-
stitute serious Impedimont to exploration. he
could not wear them ALL and there are 10 wheebar-
rows in Centrsl Africa The load would be some
what in excess 'of the capacity of mule, and not
quite enOup to justify the expense OF an elephant.
1t would have been wiser to put the medal away
until the doctors return. This would have been an
appropriate action and that greatest and most mod
..s OF tr1voers would have had reason to thank His
Majesty for saving what now bids fair to be an inn
mense amount Of useless transportation.

many clergymen, and then we read that there are
too few. One Of the greatest problems of the time
II We may judge by the amount Of discussion which
it receives in the religious newspapers is to get the
requisite amount of preaching in the necessary
places. For instance, worthy pastor in Central
New-York writes to The Baptist Weekly that he can
now recall seven unoccupied pulpits In these
seven churches they have only occasional services
at long intervals, having neither pastor nor stated
supply" Even if two of these churches should unite
in the support of a pastor, the income would Of
course be small and the pastor must be at the OK

one to solve.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. June Is, 1872.
New wheat is not yet desired, but several en-
gagements for delivery before the first day Of
July have been made at S1.5O, for prime, clean
white. The developments in regard to the
quantity and quality Of the wheat as harvesting
progresses fully justify the prediction of full
crop. There can be no doubt now of the fact
that prices must decline as the crop comes in.
Fortunate indeed will be the farmers who get
their wheat in market before the first of July.
Nothing beyond the supply Of the local demand
has been done in corn, bacon or -four during the

SharD Trick,

The Circus under the managemen Mt of Mike
Lipman, which exhibited here last week, conclu-
ded that henceforth they would beat the State
out of the tax due on their exhibitions; anG in
accordance with this conclusion, at Messy
Greek applied only for Minstrel license, which
is only Sl5 State and county tax, while the Cir
Gus tax is $500, State and county. They in
formed the community that they intended to
give Minstrel concert, after which they would
give free Circus rehearsal. They sold their
tickets to the concert at 10 cents, and we are
informed that their receipts did not exceed $50.
After the conclusion Of the concert, they low
cred the side canvass and gave a free Circus
performance. The County Court Clerk, fear
ing that there might be something not exactly
legal about the transaction, procured the ad-
vice of an attorney, who informed him that he
could not do anything with them under the
circumstances.
The managers of the Circus being encourag-
ed by their partial success at Messy Creek,
again applied for concert license at MorriStown
which they obtained from Mr. LeftWich, the
County Court Clerk. They accordingly sold
their concert tickets at 10 cents with the under
standing that all purchasing them should wit
ness the Circus performance without extra
charge. But having a large crowd, and get
ting their canvass well filed, they did not let
any one applying for free admission was in
formed that the canvass was full. But a con-
cert ticket always found room within the can
vasS The Clerk, finding that he had been
tricked, took legal proceedings, and the last in
formation we have is that on Tuesday night
Marshal John Smith was closeted with the
Treasurer of the Company, having a warrant
for $500 the full amount of State and county
tax for Circus performance.

Every Living Creature Not Under Shelter
Killed.

Killed.
Through the kindness of a German friend, a
former resident of Wirtemburg, Germany, and
whose parents now reside there, we were per-
mitted TO make the following extracts from a
letter just received by him from that country
On the 10Th day of May, that country was
visited with the most terrible hail storm ever
known. The smallest hail stones were Of the
size of goose egg, and many of them consid-
erably larger Every living creature not under
shelter met with an almost Immediate death,
and whole herds of sheep, together with the
herdsmen, were killed, and although that coun-
try was famous for its many beautiful singing g
birds not one has been heard since the storm.
The loss of human life was also very great as
the storm came up so sudden that those
who were out at their daily avoca-
tons did not have time to reach shelter.
The armament turned as black as midnight and
the people were forced to light their candles in
their houses to see anything at all. The loss in
property can scarcely be calculated. Every
orchard and vineyard was almost totally de-
stroyed by the hail and vegetation of every
kind in gardens and fields suffered most terribly.
The houses in that country are all covered
with slate, and our information is that there is
scarcely a roof but what will have to be entirely
recovered, as the hail has beat up the slate in
such manner as to make it impractiCable to
try to mend All windows not screened by
strong shutters were demolished and in a
great many cases even, the shutters were too
weak to protect them from the hail To sum it
up in short, it was the most devastating hail
storm ever known.
