WAYS THAT ARE DARK.
NEW YORK. July S0.-Edward Rorke ~ Co
importers OF glassware, SC, whose books have
been seized by the customs officers, and against
whom suits have been commenced TO recover
penalties for alleged violation of the revenue
laws, assert that ali violations of the law were
committed by one Clark, who was in charge of
the business here during the absence of the firm
in Europe. That while he altered the charges
at the custom-house he made proper entries in
the books Of the firm, and that when a sufE cient
number of these alterations had taken place 10
warrant good case against the firm he volun-
tarily retired from their employ, having pre-
yiously arranged with the customs Officers 20
get one-tourth of the amount recovered from
the firm by compromise or conviction.
TWAS ALWAYS THUs-IN NEW YORK.
A report is circulated that VIM. NJ. Tweed
has escaped a new indictment through a stupid
6lunder or design of some official Andrew j.
Garvey testified before the grand Jury that he
collected a fraudulent bill from the city for
sl26,I0, and that he collected bill through
ingersoll, TO whom he gave on the same day
ms check for ss5,Ooo. On this and other tesu-
mony concerning the parties implicated the
grand jury ordered an indictment against
Tweed, Ingersoll, and VIM. c. King, Tweed's
private secretary, but when the bill of indict-
ment was returned for the signature of the
former the name of Tweed was found omitted
and the mistake, IL such il was was not recti-
ned; Ingersoll and King having fed, the new
indictment is worthless.
FRATRICIDR.
James and Alexander BlrrilI, brothers, quar-
relied in their house in Newark last night
with an old shoe knife killing him almost i'm

fed but afterwards surrendered himself TO the

aged mother of the Brrills.

Are Canal Boats Liable TO Tonnage
Duty?

TEST CASE.
BALTIMORE, July 30.-A short time since the
United States district court of Maryland, in a
case before II, decided that canal boats engaged
IN the transportation of coal, &C., between this
port and Philadelphia, were not such vessels
within acts of Congress, as required them to be
enrolled and licensed and to pay tonnage dues.
This decision, it appears, was not in accord
ance with the views of the Treasury depart
ment, and TO test the question six canal boats
OF the Pennsylv ana company have been seized
by the United States marshal under proceed
lngs to enforce the penalty for violation of acts
of Congress. The boats will be released today
by United States Commissioner Rogers under
stipulation. 1t is claimed that each boat Is LA

THR NEW PARTY MOVEMENT IN OHIO
The indications are that the liberal republican
Allen county convention, which meets to-day a
Columbus, Ohio, will net be largely attended
At a caucus held last night n was argued II At
the time had come when the liberal republican
party, as distinct organization, should be
abandoned, and a resolution was finally adopted
"That we heartily join with the democrats of
Allen county, and all others who may choose 20
participate in the formation of a new party, TO
deal with living issues, and unite with them in
the adoption of a platform and nOmi atiOn of a

A. White, of Brown county. or Judge Collins,
OF Cincinnati, both democrats, will be nomina-
ted for Governor.

which il TO be used partly Tor church purposes

the vicar Of the church which has been instru-

club, independent in its management, ought TO
exist in every parish as an adjunct 70 the church
and missionary labor. One of the first move

no bar in the house. and the drink Is not obtru-

a few items. The White Sulphur Springs are
situated in Greenbrier county, West Virginia,
upon the western slope of the great Appalachian
chain OF mountains, in a beautiful valley sur
rounded by portions of a spur of the Allegheny
mountains, about thirteen hours ride from
Washington via the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-

stage travel Is avoided. The Thermometer
ranges here during the summer between co
and zoe, and rarely attains a greater height
than $50 during any portion of the day
Besides the large hotel, which covers more THAI
an acre of ground, and in which are situated the
dining-room, upwards of 800 feet long, and ca
pable of seating 500 guests; the parlors, lodg
iDg-rooms, &c, there are also a large number
of cottages for families. 1ne grounds have been
improved, wide serpentine walks having been
laid out. There are billiard rooms, bowling al
legs, bath houses, and in fact everything which
tends to the comfort and enjoyment of the
guests. We have dancing every night, the Ger

Dear Sr.-Your issue of the 18th notes our
firm as being creditors of H. 1. KimbsIl, bank
rupt, to the extent of one million dollars. We
beg to correct this statement in regard to us
the fact being that the estate of Kimball is in
debted to us only 800 900, against which we
hold ample security. We have received also in
the past commissions on the account largely in
excess of balance still due. The failure of this
firm took place two years ago. Very truly,

A $4,000 RUNNING RACE.-Horse- men are
at present discussing topic which is TO them
of all-absorbing interest. 1t is currently re-
ported that two wealthy gentlemen of this city,
admirers of horse-hesh, have proposed to offer
purse of $4,000 to be contested for at a great
running race to come OFF in October, the cOndi.
lions OF which will be four miles and repeat,
free to all horses in the United States, to rule;
the first horse to receive So, 900, the second
- 600, and the third 50 900. The entrance to be
10 Ter cent for California horses, and per
cent. for those that may come out from the
casts per cent. being allowed for expenses of
transportation by rail from the eastern states
There is good prospect of three entries at
least being made by parties who own first-casS
thoroughbreds on the Atlantic side, and this
would insure the purse being given, for there
are several horses in this state that would be
sure TO contend for such princely purse as
$4,000. 1t is proposed, Ing the preparation tor
this race, TO close the entries on the day previ-
Gus to the great twO-mile race for -, eos, which
is to take place here in October, and for which
there are twelve nominations made.-Sda Fran
