From the Chicago Railway Review. Sept. II
The President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company issues the fol-
lowing announcement, which IT gives
us pleasure to publish: !,
"Mr. ]. L. Wilson this day resigns as
master OF transportation; Mr.. W. T.
Smith, who formerly held that position,
will again assume its duties on the first
of September; Mr., John E. Toole, the
assistant master OF transportation, hav-
ing resigned, Mr.. Thomas R.. Sharp will
succeed him. Mr.. j. l.. Wilson continues
in charge of the road department, the
largely increased duties of which re-
auire his entire attention.
OF Mr.. VIM. Prescott Smith, who re-
turns to his old-time Office, our readers
do not need to be informed. His pro-
fessional reputation is Nationalist, we
may almost say, is his acquaintance
ship. There are few men in public life
in any station who are so very widely
known; and certainly there are few of
whom the experience is so literally true,
to name him is to praise" A man of
education, culture and ideas, combined
with great energy and with thorough ex-
perience in the details as well as in
the generalities of his profession, Mr..
Smith is the most perfect of gentlemen,
with whom the diplomatic amenities Of
his business are not merely assumed, but
in them he is native and to the man
ner born" Mr.. Smith is succeeded in
the New York and Washington Air Line
by Mr.. Andrew Anderson, chief clerk
and assistant to the general manager,
with the title Of general agent. The
Air Line Office will continue at Indiana
avenue, Washington City, and Mr.. An
derson will now have charge Of the
through accounts and men, the care of
through equipments, etc., as the joint
agent of the companies.

A PHILIPPE.

Wendell Phillips, in speech delivered
recently in Massachusetts,. uttered the
most detestable and sttrocious senti-
ments. When it is understood that Mr..
Phillips is a leader in the Grant party
the significance of the speech cannot be
ignored. Among other things, he an
nouneed that
Liberal Republieanism is nothing bat
Ku-Kluxism disguised, and behind it is
JEFF Davis, Banks, and other men who
miscalculsted their chances. There is
one man. however, who, if elected to the
Presidency, would have strength of will
to resist the demands Of the Democracy.
Mr.. Phillips paid q high tribute TO the
pertinacity and watchfalness of the
South. babe Republicans be on their
guard, for secession never slept, and
concluded as follows: The reason why |
support the Republican party is that to
nv utter surprise, to my unuttersole
surprise. to my indescribable delight, 10
nv relief. / have st last found party
that is willing 10 execute all the laws
that are given them. Ii Is for that

coon FOR FOURTH OF JULY.

Santa Fe District Court, Chief Justice
Benedict presiding, in case Of larceny.
A blooming Mexican damsel, fedora
Rendon, was indicted for stealing certain
chemiseLtes, hose, handkerchiefs, and other
sparaphernalia," on the evening of July 3.
She was detected with some of the articles
upon her, and when sober confessed the
theft, which was not believed; but while
drunk she repeated her confession, and was
believed. Her counsel never opened his
mouth, as the case to the jury they hurried,
and verdict ofguilty was in this plain case
brought in. Said the silver-tongued As
hurst (green be the cassia on his grave!):
"May it please the court, my clientess is
charged with stealing divers chemisettes,
etc., the property of r. Frank Green, the
husband. Now, the Roman Civil Law
fixes the property of these, and other arti-
cles, 'paraphernal articles as peculiarly
that of the wife," Just then the prosecu-
tor having asked the court to Hupset the
whole concern" and sslet me step into the
Grand Jury and iDdict Donna TeodOra
for larceny of the goods and chattels OF the
lCife in this case"
''Stay 'utn momentO.' If recollect Alright,
the noble court herself and this honorable
bar (myself not excepted), on the Fourth
of July, got periodically jolly in Brother
Green's bar ourselves. My client, born I'M
der the Mexican Republic, has shown her
naturalized spirit by getting tight on the
Fourth, too. | therefore pray you let her
off this time on law, good old Spanish law,
and true American court institutions"
The bench and bar all smiled assent, and
| the girl was acquitted.

MORE TRAPEZE FOLLY.

From the San FRANCISCO CnrO0lcl6.
The complimentary benefit to W. S. Law
ton at Platt's Hall last evening was perfect
success financially and artistically. The
benefit was rendered by the members of
the San Francisco Olympic Club, of which
Mr.. Lawton is manager, and the perform
ance was principally by members OF the
Club. The programme was well carried
out, and nothing occurred to mar the plea
sure of the occasion until the second per-
Torrance after the interInisslon. G. I.
Star and A. G.. Curtis were announced to
give performance on the .'aerial bars"
and it was during this that Mr.. Curtis had
a terrible fall. The act is performed from
a p2rallelogrsm suspended near the
ceiling, at one end of which is hung small
trapeze while at the other is a pair
of rings. Starr was ciinging to the bar of
the trapeze with one knee, and had caught
the rings in his hands, so that he hung with
his body extended across the space below
the parallelogram. Curtis stood on the
parallelogram above, and, to perform the
act, he was to drop down, catch STAIRS
hands as Starr relinquished his hold of the
ring, and then beth were to swing FROM the
bar. The preparations for this act were
intently watched by the audience; and, as
the feat is one of the most dangerous, much
interest was felt in its execution. Finally
all was ready. There was dead stiffness
in the hall, and every eye was bent on the
performers. Suddenly Starr let go the
rings, Curtis dropped like a
shot, and their hands met, but in
an instant they separated, and Cur
tbs shot downward to the floor. As
he fell, Charles Bennett, California's Her.
cules, was below, ana springing forward
caught him as he touched'the floor beyond
the mattress, and saved him from whai
might have been his death. As Curtis fell
the bar to which Starr was clinging snapped
but did not break entirely, and in an instan
after Starr was released from his position
The excitement of the audience during thiI
scene was intense, and at its happy termina
ton their pent-up feelings found relief in
thunder of applause. The two performer
bowed themselves out, and the Performance
was soon after resumed. We understant
that as the two young men clasped hand
they heard the bar above them snap, a
which they were so disconnected that thei
grasp weakened and Curtis fell, as above de
scribed. Had they not separated, their uni
ted weight would have broken the bar an
precipitated both to the floor with seriou
/ results.

The Gotten Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle has
returns from the Southern ports showing the
receipts, exports, etc, of cotton for the
week ending Aug. 2. From the figures
thus obtained it appears that the total
receipts for the seven days have reached
2,1T7 bales against 1866 bales last
week, 2,4l9 bales the previous week, and
2,678 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1871, 2, 70S,090 bales against 8, 977,820 bales
for the same period of 1ST0-71, showing a
decrease since Sept. l this year of 1863, 730
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach total of $3.50 bales, all
of which were to Great Britain. The
stocks, according to the Chronicles count
at the date above, mentioned are $4,000
bales. From the foregoing statement it
will be seen that, compared with the cores
ponding week of last season, there is a de-
crease in the exports this week of 94S
bales, while the stocks are 81 ,152 bales less
than they were at this time year ago.
We quote from the Chronicle as follows:
The chief feature of the market during
the past week has been steady decline,
till towards the close of Wednesdays bust
ness, attended with largely increased sales
Tor export and quite a brisk demand for
consumption. The Liverpool quotation
has declined and there have been reports Of
injury to the growing crop; but neither of
these facts have exerted much influence,
the leading idea being to close out the
stocks on hand. At the reduced prices
there appeared yesterday some revival Of
speculative confidence, it being possible that
this and the next month may have been
oversoid and consequently there was a
slight recovery in prices for those months.
BOMBAY SHIPMENTs.-AcGoIdi ding to our
cable dispatch received to-day, the ship
ments from Bombay to Great Britain for
the past week have been 5000 bales and to
the continent, - bales, while the receipts
at Bombay, during the same time have been
1000 bales. Compared with last year there
is decrease this year in the weeks ship
ments to Great Britain ofa22,000 bales, and
that the total movement since Jan. now
shows decrease in shipments Of 100000
bales over the corresponding period of 1871.
