THE Tammany Society of New York
city was chartered originally as charitable
association, and bore the title of Society of
Tammany or Columbian order. A resolu-
ton was adopted the other day by the
Legislature of New York, ordering an in
vestigation, and demanding to know wheth-
or it had fulfilled the conditions of that
chyrter by aiding poor and destitute per-
sons. Ifi i. has not done SO that chatter is
forfeited, and the Tammany society can be
legally blotted out of existence. The priests
have fled in dismay, and now tho very
temple is TO be pulled down.

A CITY DIsAPPEARED.-The Buenos
Ayres Standard of Both November gives
further intelligence than that reported by
telegraph of the late disastrous earthquake
at Salta. On the 22d of October, at eleven
O'Clock p. M, when most of the inhabi-
tants of the doomed town of Oran had re-
tired to their houses the first shock was
felt. The greatest terror at once prevailed,
and the people rushed madly into the
streets ; few had gone to bed. rs for hours
before dull, rumbling noise had been
heard in the distance, and all feared that
it portended some unusual catastrophe.
The shocks continued at intervals for near
ly nine hours, during which time forty dis
tinct movements Of the earth were felt.
The pavement of the streets was split
opcn-now here, now there-and the hous-
cs fell in confused heaps Of ruins. There is
only one death to record, that of Sr. Reyes,
and some contusions to other persons.
Most of the Inhabitants rushed out to the
camp after the first shock, and SO saved
their lives, but the town of Oran may be
considered rs totally destroyed.

on Sunday evening, the amount stolen be-
ing estimated at 100000. The burglars,
five in number, entered the bank in the

One of the watchmen, named Baylis, was
gagged and tied in chair, and one OF the
robbers stood before him with pistol,
while his confederates got into the vaults
and rilcd the boxes containing private de-
posits. The other watchman, Severn ar
rived at the bank about half an hour later
than l,aylis, and was seized the moment
he entered. A lady passed by happened
to see Severn seized, and gave the alarm,
when The people rushed into the bank and
tho robbers fled. The burglars left a large
number of tools, some heavy timbers, and
two kegs of powder. One of the robbers
is described as "a very tall man, with n
bald head" The bank lost nothing, all
the funds reported taken being the proper
ty of private dcpositOrs.

WE observe by the Philadelphia Legal
Intellige ncer, Of last week, that the Supreme
Court has affirmed the judgment of the
court below in the case of Flowers and
wife, IS. Pennsylvania railroad company.
The: case was taken up from Lebanon
county. Young Flowers was killed ut n
station on the railroad in Lancaster county,
while in the act of assisting the engineer OF
locomotive in putting water into the
tender, nj the request of the engineer.
The court held that the railroad company
owed no duty of protection to the boy, and
that there could be no discovery. The
case was argued in the Supreme Court by
Col. Dickey and Maj. Rein9hl, of Lancas-
ter, for the plaintiff; and by Messrs. l..
W. Hall, North and Brennaman for the
railroad company. This is an important
case, and establishes a principal of great
value to railroad companies. Parents OF
boys owe such protection as to keep them
off railways.

The Ersning NerS says the grand iu-
ry of the Court Of General Sessions found
an immense number of indictments. 1t is
supposed hundreds of men will be i'm the
lists. They found that large quantities of
money had been placed in banks at times
to the credit of certain members of the
Ring" by testimony of bank presidents il
is proved that, a million was often depos-
tied to the accounts of those members. In
one case 81 500, 900 was placed in one bank
to the credit of one of the "Ring'' men. 1t
has also been proved that in one day over
six millions were stolen from the city treas
ury. Tomorrow the grand jury will pro-
badly bring in indictments against lnger-
soil, Woodward, Garvcy, Huge Smigh,
James NJ. Sweeny and Thomas &. Fields,
Five indictments were found a gainst Tweed
and fifteen against Connolly.
THE Beaver Radical says, "the attempt
to despatter the reputation of President
Grant, by fastening on him the slightest
completely with the tax management Of the
New York Custom House, has already be-
come ridiculous failure. And those
within our party who have lent their aid
and influence to this wretched effort, have
found themselves suspected by the Repub-
lican party, while the President-the OBJ
ject of their malcvolence-is stronger to-
day than at any moment since the surren-
der of Lee."
We received very pleasant letter OF
thanks from our old friend Kendall, since
his return home, for bottle of Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment " hich we gave him. and
which he says has entirely cured him OF
the troublesome and dangerous cough he
had when here.
On the death of one of England's most
eminent physicians, all his effects were sold
by auction, and among other things was a
sealed packet, marked "Advice to Physi
clans" which brought great price. The
purchaser on opening the packet, read as
follows Keep the head cool, the bowels
open and the feet warm" IL physic is
necessary, use Parsons Purgative Pills
they are the most scientifically prepared
pill that has appeared in the last hundred
wears.
