TRACES OF A CRIME.

The body of an unknown man was found
in the North River near the foot Of Thrtyfourthst
yesterday under circumstances clearly indicative or
foul play. Several wounds apparently inflicted with
blunt instrument, discovered upon the head OF the
corpse, while the hands had evidently been bound To-
gether with a suspender, which remained FIRMLY tied
around the right wrist Nearly all OF the pockets OF the
clothing had turned inside out, which, with the
wounds and the supposed binding leads inference
that the deceased rOObed, murdered, ana thrown
into the water. The remains are OF man OF medium

BEFORE JUDGE BRADY NEXT MONDAY.
District Attorney Phelps yesterday ordered
notices 70 he served upon Messrs. John Graham, William
Fullerton David Dudley Field, and others counsel for
william Tweed that his would be called for trial
n MoD6av next The Indictment tried s the
AZ that upou which the jury disagreed several months
ago. IL was framed In June year ago in lieu Of the
original indictment, the validity Of which ques-
toned II is the one known as the "big Indictment"
aad Il framed Jointly against A. Oakley Hail. Richard B.
connolly and william M. Tweed. II win be remembered
that several indictments found against Mr. Tweed
on the conclusion OF the last trial. and it supposed
that he would be az ied upon some of these but
the final decision 70 have been above stated
is known who win assist Mr. Phelps in the pros
eeution but It supposed that Mr.. Tremain and Mr.
Pecham win be retained before, and perhaps others
The trial is expected 70 be much shorter than the first
one as the counsel both sides, being familiar
with the case. viii strike out much irrelevant testimony
The counsel OF Mr.. Tweed 70 meet to-day to con
suit and prepare for his defense The notice OF the
District Attorney was very unexpected TO them, and
probably 70 their client, who is not in the city.
Itis believed that reason for this action OF tne
pistrict-Attorney is the failure OF bill sent some
months ago to extend the in which cases OF the ma
tare OF Mr. Tweed become "outlawed" This OIL mas
been in Committee at Albany, and there Is no
hope OF ts passing this session.

A CUsroM-HoUsE GRAB FOR MORE PowER-HL-
LIONS on DOLLARS INvoLvKD--THE BILL De-
NoURCED EVERYWHERE ...
THE TRIBUNE of Thursday last published
the full text of the proposed amendments OF the new
Charter which, 1t was given out, were TO supply the de-
fects of the law itself It intimated the time IN
this Journal that there Objectionable features
which had overlooked in the amendments. This
drew attention il, and after examining Controller
Green whose long opposition 70 paving Jobs and
assessment frauds had made him familiar with the
schemes by which they imposed the people, tele-
graphed to Albany its recall and defeat II
possible IL Infamous in its provisions and not
approved by him, stated by Mr.. Hustled the au-
thoty OF Mr. John H. strahan, formerly counsel the
Controller Mr. strahan held this position since
Jan. 2. and the Controller yesterday declared TO
TRIBUNE reporter that he In represented him.
Mr. strahan is engaged just in lobbying get the
claims Of E. Jones and other old Ring contractors paid
On inquiry In various places 1t discovered that
the amendment had a double purpose. II will be re-
membered that Mr.. Van Mort was last week az Albany
lobbying to get his inserted in the Charter
member Of the Board Of Apportionment. Unless this
could be done IL thought the Department OF Public
Works would obtain very little money from the city and
as IL is the only department In which the Custom
house people have any power the curtailment Of Its
funds would seriously embarrass matters. This
posed in TIE TRIBUNE and at Albany, and Mr. Van
abandoned his scheme Itwas only to to this
one, however, and from this he anticipated vast
additional powers.
The principal amendments in this supplementary act
revives OF the OF the old Ring schemes and
compes the Controller TO pay for the work done under
them. Mr.. Van Mort made more absolute in decid-
ing all matters OF laying pavements than ever Mr.
Tweed As the only Commissioner OF Public Works
he was left by this act at liberty to take up every
wooden pavement in New-YOrk, and relay the
streets with patent improved stone pavements
Of his selectin at any price he chose 10
name. There are in existence, unrepealed, ord
naDces framed under Tweeds regime providing for
the paving OF OF streets many miles in length
The proposed amendment leaves Mr. Van Mort free TO
order the laying there OF any stone pavement he seecs
In short the poweSs are immense and the opportuni-
ties for fraud unlimited. Under similar authority, but
much more limited he lately had South Fifthaye paved
the Guidet pavement az cost OF $4,000 more than
it should been. The fraud in the laying Of this
pavement clear that the Controller Is now dis
putting the bill.

the hands of the people than ever before
Charleston, of course, must feel the effects of
this general prosperity. New branches of in
dustry are opening-notably the phosphate
which employ much capital and make hand
some returns. A hopeful feeling animates
this community. With reduced taxation and
a better State government, I begin to think
that the glories of new Charleston may great
ly surpass those of old Charleston. Already
the people spend less time in reading the dole
full book of Lamentations, and are turning to
the more cheerful pages of Isaiah, the prophet
of redemption and hope.
Let me simply add, thatthe Baptist church
es here seem to be in condition of healthy
activity. Rev. Mr.. Shuck, pastor of the ven
erable First church, is doing we'll, and Mr..
Chambliss, recently called to the Citadel
Square, has received welcome which augurs
the best results. OF the colored churches I
cannot now write. j. R. K.

PROGRESS OF SIN.

Every age is characterized by some partic'
ular sins, or by new features of old sins. Per,
haps, as country grows old, it is developed
both in morality and immortality. The gene
raj principal seems to be this: The gospel OF
Jesus Christ either makes men better or worse.
1t is a SAVIOR of life unto life or of death unto
death. There is no doubt but on the whole,
the gospel is making steady progress in this
country; but the progress of some sins is
alarming 1t has whitening and blighting
effect upon every thing in society. Drunk
enness and profanity seem to be in many
quarters on the increase. There are other
sius besides drunkenness and profanity, which
have polluting effect upon society. There
are many evidences that the devil is busily
engaged in propagating these crimes against
God and man.
Such times as the present require great
presence of mind on the part of the Christian.
Rather, we should say, much grace is required
lest the child of God be caught in the tolls of
Satan's net. There is great danger lest the
children of God become used to the works of
the wicked one. Vice, at first sight, is a
frightful monster; but seen occasionally, all
the monstrosity vanishes, and that which was
once nothing but deformity, becomes symetri-
cal and lovely. Our physical senses easily
become accustomed to grating sounds, moi
some smells, disagreeable tastes, uncomforta-
BILE feelings and disgusting sights. So with
our moral senses. They can be educated to
delight in the bitter profanity of the swearer !;
in the tottering of the drunkard, and to be
RECALLED by the stencil which follows the scof-
fer. "Let him that standeth take Iheed lest
he fall"
