THE GRAND JURY AT THE TOMBs.

The present condition OF the City Prison Is con-
sidered to be faulty in itself that strange and If
true, interesting rumors are beginning to be cir
cuated about 1t. 1t has been said that the food is
bad and insufficient, and also that the cells and
beds are damp and unhealthy, which seems TO
stand with reason, as the structure to the knowl-
edge OF every citizen, Is built on u swamp. The
site OF the building, some old Knickerbockers say,
was ilthy marsh, which gave rise to the mala-
rias fevers and epIzootics OF the time. The at
mosphere OF such locality, especially to the
prisoner can never be wholesome. and the story
witna must have some truth In 1t. George Francis
Train is not the only one who complains OF its hOr
rble condition, and no one can pass the dismal
hole without pronouncing it living grave.
It Is true warden Finlay has lived In 1t and
Deputy Wardens Kendall, DAILY and Cunning

IL must be remembered these are only trustworthy
Officals, not doomed prisoners. They can close
their room windows when open provide them
selves with suitable bedding to Keep out the cold,
use for cleansing the dampncss OF the walls,
them, by the use OF wholesome food, but all these
the prisoners cannot have.
The visit and recent investigation OF the Grand
Jury, the prisoners expect, and so do many Others
Will be the first step towards "a total reformation
In the wretched prison. narrow cell and bare
walls ought TO be sufficient punishment without any
other conc0mtant evils. But 1t Is feared the Grand
Jurys work viii end In no beneficial results unless
the issue OF the investigation be made public. The

the subject except RON these current reports.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 20, 1873
The wrecking operations in the harbor here,
under the direction Of Professor Mallielert, which
have been in progress nearly twelve months, have
been signally successful. Monsieur Mallieert, who
Is French engineer, in 1871 obtained the contract
from the United States government for clearing
the distractions In both the James River, In Vir-
ginia and the harbor OF this city. From the James
River he removed the wrecks Of the ron-clads
Virginia and Fredericksburg and the steamers
jamestown, Northampton, Patrick Henry and
Raleigh besides seven schooners and twenty-three
stone cribs, which made the James free and sale
Tor all navigabe purposes.
Upon arriving mere he first turned his attention
to the wreck OF the rebel iron-c Palmetto state,
which was sunk Off the mouth OF Town Creek inlet
by the Conlcderates to prevent it falling into the
hands OF the United States naval forces, then In
strong force OF Charleston Harb0r. All the boilers,
engines, guns aud machinery OF this vessel were
recovered. He next took out OF the wrecks Of the
Charleston and ChicOra, sunk OF Cooper River, two
other rebel ir0n-clads, 2s5 tons OF machinery,
boilers, engines and guns. The operations Of the
Professor were next turned to the wrecks OF the
Beatrice and Flora, two iron blockade runners,
sunk in Maiits Channel with the success OF raising
the entire hus, boilers and engines OF both. After
this the steamers Come, Randolph and "A torpedo
boat 1875 feet long were taken up.
The vessel involving the greatest labor and dan.
ger In taking up was the Weehawken United
Morris Island while being loaded with shot and
shell. Nearly everything was recovered and the
skeletons OF many OF the crew who went down were
found in good state OF preservation In the mon-
ster coffin in which they had been so long en-.
tombed.
The wreck npOn which Professor Malliefert Is now
engaged is that OF the Inflated Patapsco which
sunk of Fort sumter by the bursting OF a torpedo,
which sent down the unfortunate vessel ana all on
board to watery grave. Out or this
vessel about four hundred tons of material
have already been taken, including the boiler,
machinery, portions OF the turret. twelve plates
thick, and other material This can only be re-
moved by the most powerful explosions. The only
two wrecks that now remain are those Of the
H0usat0nc and kcokuk. The former lies outside
the bar and near II the torpedo boat that sent II
down. The latter lies near the Lighthouse Inlet.
All the bodies or those board have been re-
covered and great number have been buried IN a
federal cemetery near Fort Moultrie. With the re-
moval OF these last two vessels all the INSTRUCTIONS

election only last fall, he was
represented to be the worst
man in the State, guilty of pee

so bitterly denounced him are

The Lone Star State.

The State Of Texas is devel-
opiug at a marvellous rate un-
der the combined influence OF
railroad companies, aud the
great, emigration movement
from the old States IN the
North and from all parts of Eu-
rope. The population Of Texas
in 1870 was s1S,579; in 1873 it
was estimated at $1,000, 900,
and Is now increasing hey ond
any previous ratio. There are
many reasons for the present
interest felt by large portion
of our people IN the develop
ment OF Texas, and among them
are the great fertility Of its soil,
it's genial, healthy, climate, its
wealth OF minerals, the aston
ishing variety OF its products,
and the unparalleled magni-
tude of Its facilities for raising
livestock Of all kinds. Anoth.
er fact, and perhaps one Of the
most important, is the removal
ofold prejudices respecting the
lawlesS character OF the Texas
people. As they are better
known, they are found to be or
derly and law-abidlng, and in
the older towns as much cul-
ture and refinement can be
found as exist in the old cities
of the North. The completion
Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railroad affords easy and
direct communication with
Texas, and although the road
has been in operation but four
months, the entire rolling stock
of the road is required to meet
the demands of trade and the
transportation of emigrants
who are seeking homes In the
Lone Star" State. The Texas
or Southern Pacific Railroad, in
connection with other railroad
interests in the State are ex-
erting q strong influence to
represent the merits :of Texas
to our ownDpeople, and have ar.
ranged . system of foreign
agencies, whereby emigrants
are directed and located upon
lands, to assist in the develop
ment of this great State.

MR. JOHN FARLEY, OF Hunt
ington- township, this county,
has shown Us a small glass,
one inch and five eights in di.
ameter at the bottom, and one.
eighth larger at the top, and
two inches high. On the ex.
terror surface there are thirty.
four ridges, running from the
bottom to within q half an
inch of the top, about one.
sixteenth. of an inch in height.
1t is slightly scaled at the top,
and presents the appearance OF
having seen service, having an
antiquated look.
The most remarkable thing
about the glass is the fact that
it was found i'm beded in a mass
of slate, overlying an ore bank,
eleven feet below the surface
of the earth, in the vicinity of
Hope Furnace, Vlnton county,
by workmen in the employ of
Mr.--Grimsley, while re
moving the slate preparatory
to digging the ore. Mr.. Farley
is very certain the glass was
found as described, as when it
came into his possession 1t was
imbeded IN the slate as solid
as if cast in it. 1t was difficult
to remove the slate without
breaking the glass. At .one
point in the bottom is q de-
preston, at which place was
found a small lump of salt
petre. AntiquarianS and others
desirous, can see the glass by
calling on Mr.. @. p. Hawkins.

Max Adler's Patriotism.

Inc ACCOUNTS IN tno DOStOn
papers Of the latter part Of
Juno, of the celebration in that
city Of the anniversary Of the
battle Of Bunker Hill show
that Boston displayed an enor,

think of the intensity OF the
patriotic devotion which Bos-
ton would display If We had
won it. And isn't 1t q little
Wild at any rate, for the people
to become frenzied with joy
because they have been beatenl
Take our own case. In June,
1868, We enlisted in the militia
aud marched out to defend the

day we met some rebels fooling

those of our comrades who did

slid into the cellar and lay in
the refrlgerat or for two DAYS,
living on some cold ham found
therein-and determined to
hold that refrigerator against
the foe, to the death. We we're
never recommended for pro
motion in any of the reports,
strange to say. The generals
all seem to. have overlooked
the matter somehow. Now it
would be perfectly absurd for
the people of Harrisburg to eel
ebrate every year the anniver-

them not to do 1t, no matter
what Boston does. II Harris
