We read Of an elopement remarkable for some OF
its particulars, which has just agitated Newton.
Mass. A young married man named Train had in
his employ young woman, Miss Norris. with whom
he fell in love. The PAIR determined TO elope during
the absence of Mrs. Train. The TRUNKS were nearly
packed the carriage was at the door: everything.
in short, was about ready for the guilty fight when.
in the most provoking manner. the injured wife
made her appearance. But the wicked husband was
equal 10 the emergency. He unblushingly avowed
his purpose of flying with Miss Norris. aud in order
to make Things pleasant locked his wife up until he
had finished packing. when toe guilty couple drove
away to the station aud thence vanished into infinite
space, with good deal of borrowed money. The
aforementioned fact has stimulated pursuit, and
there is some hope that Ttoin may be caught 3nd

Thus far the Tweed trial has developed
little that is new relative to the frauds of the
Ring. The present business of the prosecu-
sion seems to be to identify the warrants and
10 establish that they were for fraudulent
accounts The first attempt to connect MIR.
Tweed with them was made yesterday on the
examination Of Messrs. Davidson and Garvey.
Greatly to everybody's susprise Mr.. Davidson
swore he had nothing to do with Mr.. Tweed
in any of his transactions, and Mr.. Garvey
was only able TO swear that Mr.. Woodward,
with whom he dealt, gave him to understand
that Mr., Tweed was aware of the swindle.
New-York tribune., 1873-01-18

There will be general murmur of approval
of the decision of the House Committee on
Post-Oflices to reduce the rate of letter post
age to two cents per half ounce. The expe-
diency of the measure is another question en-
tirely; but our traditions all favor the cheap
est possible rate of postage; and when the
reduction is once made, even tentatively, IL
will be impossible to put the rate up again.
The Committees figures relating to the circu-
lation of printed matter through the mails
are striking; and the argument against the
passage of any such matter free, whether
under franks or within the county where
printed, is irresistible.
New-York tribune., 1873-01-18

1t seems that irregularities in the leasing of
buildings as aimOrieS, for the National Guard
regiments, are still common and costly. 1t is
a little too early TO say who has improperly
proiited by the leasing of Nilsson Hall, but it
is safe to assert that the city has been swindled

ment of the difficulties of the present electoral
system of the United States. Popular opinion
will very generally accept ascorrect the Senator'S
views concerning the cumbrousness anu IN
tricacy of the machinery with which we elect
our President and Vice-Presluent' lie "ouiu'
he saws, elect the President by the direct VoCe
of the people, as one community, regard
less of State lines, as the aggregated
vote of State elects Governor
REGARDLESS of county and township
boundaries. This is one of the various plans
which have been suggested and, though
nothing can be done conclusively with the
ouestion at this time, the next Congress may
practically solve the difficulty and rid the
country of the Electoral College incumbrance.
Some of the gross mismanagement-to use a
mild term-which characterized the building of
the Union Pacific Railroad was laid bare yes
terday in the Wilson Investigating Commit
tee. Mr.. Durant, who knows what he is
talking about, says that the Credit Mo-
biler Association, after building 23S miles
of the road, divided a profit of S4,500000; and
this plum was just in hand when their stock
was "placedn so iudicOusly in Washing
ton by Mr.. Oakes Ames. Another significant
fact in Mr.. Durants story is that some
$3000OO or 100000 were charged in a
Suspense Account to the Union Pacific Rail-
road agents stationed at the National Capital.
These men were working up" the bill of 1854.
Who were the Congressman who were
worked up" then9 Still another point is
the admission of this unwilling witness that
if the Government aid and capital stock had
been used as Congress directed, the road
would have needed only S2,OOO,OOO more to
finish and equip it, Who is responsible for
this gigantic waste How shall the Govern
ment get back its share of the squandered

Here is certainly subject for cOngRtulahOn.
The Commissioners have decided that the
Second-ave. Railroad must pay tor the privi-
lege of extending itself Following the decla-
ration of Mayor Havemeyer, that the city has
rights which street railway companies are to
be required TO respect, this decision will be
accepted as a happy precedent. 1t will not
enable us TO recover what has been already
taken by these companies but it insures that
future corporations will not be able to play
the freebooter in our best thoroughfares. The
report decides that two and one-half per cent
on their gross receipts would be a cheap COM
pensation Tor the privileges these companies
have obtained for nothing; and that the
Second-ave. Company must pay $1,000 year
rent for the franchise now acquired.
Either Senator Harlan or Mr.. T. c. Durant
has an irrepressible conflict with the truth
Mr.. Durant furnished $4,000 toward Mr. Har-
lan's election expenses in the Iowa Legislature
when he was candidate for the Senate. Both are
agreed so far. Mr.. Harlan said in his newspaper,
Yesterday morning, that he did not know at
the time the money was subscribed by Mr..
Durant who sent it. Later in the day (still
yesterday, remembe) Mr. Durant testified
that the $4,000 was divided into two
5000 New-York checks by him, signed
by him, and sent to the Hon. James Harlan.
This is dreadful mess for these honorable
gentlemen to get into. There have been many
irreconcilable contradictions of witnesses in
this mystifying investigation, but this one OF
Messrs. Harlan and Durant is the worst yet.

A PERFECT MODEL.

Writing from the Baths of Lucca,
Anna Brewster writes: There is
a blind beggar man who comes
down from one of the mountain
villages daily to beg at the Bagni.
With him a little girl OF eight
years of age, one of the most at
tractive little creatures you ever
saw. Her small body and feet are
formed on the pure Venus type.
She has a we'll shaped hand, oval
face, and classical outlines. Ad.
ded to these charms the child is as
apathetic and unsociable as a
Greek model should be. Hernisch
is making an exact portrait of the
girl in her rustic dress-a sort of
costume by the way, for it is just
as they all dress. 1t consists of a
three cornered handkerchief on
the head tied loosely at the back;
a rough, course brown linen body;
very short peiticoat of equally
coarse stuff, and an apron. Very
simple; but as the child stands
any and every day by the roadside,
holding her apron corner with her
left hand, gazing at the passers-by
with a strange curiosity, and ex-
tending her right hand Indifferent
~ for the aims that are offered her
she never begs-the effect is
striking. There is such a contra
diction in the beauty, and the
whole is very classical, the form
and expression especially. She is
one of the most charming models
a sculptor could possibly have to
study from"
