THE Credit Mobilicr suits which
have been before the United States
Court at Hartford, Conn, having
been dismissed, will now be taken
to the Supreme Court on appeal,
although it is intimated that there
is little prospect that the latter tri-
bunal will reverse the decision. The
lower court dismissed the cases upon
the ground that the damage to the
Government Wy the Credit Mobilier
frauds was too remote to make the
United States an Interested party.
The object sought by the Govern
mcnt in compelling the stockholders
to pay up their stock was to protect
the second mortgage and improve
its security, but if the Government
is really in earnest in this matter, it
has sufficient means of protection,
sure means Of protecting itself.
1t holds the second mortgage on the
road, which it can proceed to en-
force at any time, the interest on it
having long been in default. 1t
should be added that the security is
diminishing with every days delay.

JUDGE NOAH DAVIS, Of New York,
on Saturday fined Messrs. Graham,
Fullerton and Bartlett, the leading
counsel of "Boss" Tweed in the
late trial, $3.50 each, and admins
tered to them sharp rebuke and
lecture besides, for their act OF con-
tempt in insulting him at the OPEN
ing of that trial. The other law
yers who assisted those gentlemen
in Tweed's defense were left off
with % reprimand Judge Davis
deserves the thanks OF all lovers Of
justice and public security, and of
all honorable members of the Amer
lean bar, for the dignificd and hon
orable manner in which he presided
at the Tweed trial, and for the fear

Gated the dignity and honor OF an
honest judiciary.

one great cause Of the recent
panic, the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency says in his annual report, was
the almost criminal intimacy be-
tween the banks of New York and
the stock spectators Of Wall street.
The spectators were accorded 50
extensive favors on demand loans as
to encroach seriously on the ability
of the banks to deal with legitimate
business men, and to involve the
banks too deeply in their insecure
transactions.

THE members Of the lower house
Of Congress of both political par
ties held caucuses on Saturday even
ing last for the nomination Of can
didates for the various offices in the
Gift of that body. The noticeable
feature of the proceedings OF the
Democratic caucus was the defeat of
Il resolution declaring that mo one
should be supported for Speaker
who had been involved III either the
Credit Mobilier or the back pay
grab The proposition was voted
down by decisive majority, where
upon Holman, of Indiana, its pro-
poser), and Sunset Cox, OF New
York, withdrew, and then Fernando
Wood had the honor of being "5et
up" to be knocked down on Monday,
Cox was Woods opponent, and
doubtless prepared tho resolution
which was to floor his distinguished
colleague. But his brilliant quail
ties as an orator and an author
proved no match for those sterling
Democratic characteristics illustrat-
ed by Woods record and persecu-
tons (9 in the last Congress. These
commanded the veteran ex-Mayor
of New York City to Democratic
support, and he defeated the reso-
luton Of his cunning enemy, and
carried off the empty honor of a
nomination. In the Republican
caucus, speaker Blaine, Clerk Me-
Pherson, Sergeant-at-Arms Ord
way, and Door-Keeper Buxton were
renominated. Mr.. Henry Sher-
wood, of Michigan, MANNED Union
soldier, was nominated for Post
master, and the Rev. J. &. Butler
was renominated for chaplain.

STEAMSHIP, DISASTER.
226 Lives Lost.

The Steamship Vile du Hayre
collidcd with the steamer Loeb Elqe
in mid ocean on the morning Of Nov.
I'D, and the former was SO badly
Injured that she sunk IN 5 minutes,
with over three hundred souls, only
about 80 Of whom are known to be
surviving. The Purser Of the Vile
du Havrc gives the following ac-
count Of the disaster:
The steamer was struck on the
starboard side. The maiumast and
rigg 'ng were carried away. The
long boat was not crushed on deck,
but after being lowered the mi2Zcn-
mast fell upon it, and killed nearly
all its occupants. The malnmast
fell after the mizzen, topping over
on deck and killing many persons.
In n few minutes the ship began to
sink amid great disorder and terror.
The scene was awful, beyond des-
cription. The air was rent with
shricks, but some were heard saying
calmly, "As we must die, let Us die
nobly.' The water rushed into the
mold with incredible velocity. UNI
dressed myself and, with a compan-
ion, jumped overheard and swan
toward the Loeb Ernc, thcn half u
mile distant, As | LETT | heard the
ship cracking, and looking back
saw her go down with one plunge
forward. For Il moment the shrieils
were terrible. Then all was silent
it was the silence OF death. The
Captain remained on the bridge OF
the Vile du Hayrc during the whole,
and went down with the ship. lie
was picked up an hour aiterwarl.
All the officers VINO where rescued
were saved in n similar manner cX-

the captain sent to the Loeb Ernc
to see if she was in a sinking con
dition, or ii she were able to re-

Dairy and Produce Receipts
 New York,

There are received annually on the piers of the Hudson river over 1000, 900 pkgs. of butter and 1,8OO,OO0 pkgs. of cheese. The traffic in butter is nearly double the amount of that in cheese in this respect butter is one of the lead ing articles of produce received in this market in quantity and daggregate value, and by far the most important of that class of produce not sold by sample, but by actual inspection 1; of same nature are cheese and provisions main ly, and it is this fact that confines the commerce in these products to any locality most convenient to the general carrying trade. It will surprise all on comparing the estimate value of the receipts of this produce market, to find butter the chief, and dairy products, with kindred articles to that commerce, immensely in excess of breadstuffs. The estimates are :- Butter, above $3O, 1000, 900 cheese, over $15, ,OOO, ,OOO, or nearly $50, 900, ,OOO of dairy products; :; cut meats, $12,O0O, 900 lard, $8,5OO,- 900; wheat, $24,0OO,O00; corn, $26,- 000,00 flour, $2O, 900, 900; petroleum, $1O,OOO,O00 The butter and cheese produce merchants receive in dairy pro- duce, and other smaller produce, it is estimated, $100,O00, ,000; provisions of the same class as respects carrying, distribution and exchanges, are confined to the same channels. Breadstuffs and other sample produce aggregate $70,- GOO, GOO.

's Newspaper Postage ''- The Facts.

The law does not and will not after June 3Oth require full prepayment of postage on alLprinted matter. Transient or miscellaneous matter must be fully prepaid at the mailing office. Regular publications, known as newspapers or periodicals, may be sent to subscribers now and after the 3Oth instant unpaid, and the postage collected quarterly of the subscribers. Newspaper exchanges may be prepaid quarterly either at the office of mailing or delivery.
 The requirement for full prepayment on transient printed matter is statutory, not departmental, and therefore cannot be abrogated by the Postmaster Gen. eral. It is made the duty of all post masters to collect all deficient postage at the office of delivery, whether upon letters or printed matter. more or less such matter being inadvertently trans mitted in the mails. It is not shown that more is collected at the Washing ton office than is legally due, or more than st other offices, in proportion to the quantity of such matter delivered.
 If any statement has been made that no papers will be be sent without pre- payment, then 8 mistake has been made, for large numbers are sent daily to sub- scribers as provided by law.
 One cent will fully prepay on any daily or weekly published in this city, but it will not carry two such papers, nor will it carry the larger New York weekly or daily papers.

The Baden.Baden of America.

The hot springs of Arkansas rejust- ly acquiring Q vast notoriety abroad for their peculiar virtue in the cure of dis ease. To add to their fame, many dis coveries of precious stones and metals are being made in their vicinity. Silver ores are being almost weekly discovered in this and adjacent counties. A rail road company accidentally discovered lode of silver lead-bearing mineral upon their line of road 8 few weeks ago, in the midst of the ground that they were excavating for their new depot in the city of Little Rock. We kno>, thal De Soto had rendezvous of his party in this vicinity, about twenty-five miles west and northwest ia Conway County, three hundred years ago, during the reign of Queen Isabella of Spain. We know, too, that De Soto camped there one entire winter, and then moved down the river to what is now the old Post of Arkansas, and died at that place. On this western trip of his he gathered many specimens of precious stones, diamonds and sapphires, garnets and crystals, and carried away with him con- siderable gold. and silver bullion. The signs of his old furnaces are yet to be seen-the slag that would indicate other metal than only lead or silver. A large cavern in Hot Springs Mountain is known by the name of the Murderer's Cave. The only white man that is ever known to have entered this cave is an old hunter that is said to have lived, or is still living, in that cavern, and yearly comes here with his furs and peltries, the labor of his years services in trap ping. He, however, always brings with him samples of these silver ores and precious stones, which he disposes of to the jewellers, and his silver bullion to the bankers. This cavern is called Mur- derer's Gave, from the fact, so report goes amoug the ''natives,a that no man that had ventured into this cavern had ever been seen alive again. The exist ence of genuine silver ore in that cavern cannot be disputed. It IS there. And smoke is always to be seen oozing out of the side of the mountain, supposed to be the fires from the regions of the damned, and people say that "Old Nick" and the hunter are holding high carni- val among the imps of darkness.

Twenty Years.

Twenty years! Sure, that's not long!
 My wife and are lovers yet; She sings to me the self-same song
 That won me when-I don't forget The bissful time; but then, you know,
 To name the happy date and place Would make it seem so long ago;
 And Martha wears the same fair face She wore when we together played
 At some still game by parlor fires: When was bashful as the maid
 Who filled my heart with strange desires. We're older now our daughter Jane
 Was turned eighteen some months ago; q see her walking in the lane
 With neighbor Aliens tall son, Joel; But yet, despite the growing years,
 cannot quite outlive those days, And ofttimes turn with happy tears
 To walk in dreams the same old ways We walked, when meath the June rose-trees We fondly fingered, hand in hand; And, borne upon the summer breeze,
 Came faint, sweet smells thro' all the land. And how in garden paths we strayed- To gather flowers for you, my dear; Till safe within the high walls shade, Whispered in your blushing ear Look! Where? What did you say?
 Our daughter Jane and tall yonng Joe? -" Yes, dear, he's telling her to-day
 What you told me 80 long ago."

Full and Semi.Dress Suits.

Full dress suits fer gentlemen show no change in style, and remain black throughout-tbe claw-hammer coat, very low rolled vest, and easy-itting pantaloons beingmade from one piece of cloth. The neck-tie is folded white lawn, the shirt front is slightly em- broidered, boots are of finest calf-skin, and gloves are the faintest tints of pearl or flesh color. For summer fetes, hops at watering places, hotels, and country festivals, where people profess to use less ceremony than in cities, this suit is abandoned for the simpler semi-dress toilette, such as is generally worn for visiting, church, and promenades. This consists of double breasted frock- k-coat of black or very dark blue "worsted suiting , in tiny armure figures, made with widely bound edges. The vest is of the coat material, and also has wide binding. The pantaloons are of iight gray-not pure pearl-oolor, but with green or blue shading,

The MOdoc Indians.

Attorney General Williams has con- cluded that Ca military commission may be appointed to try such of the MOdoc Indians now in custody, as are charged with offences against the receg- nized laws of war, and that if upon such trial any are found guilty, they may be subjected to such punishment as those laws require or justify" The murder of Gen. Canby is classed as such an of- fence, and the opinion of the Attorney General Is based on the assumption of 8 state of war existing between the United States and the Modocs, although he ad- mits that the relations of the Indian tribes to the Government are difficult to determine. It may here be stated that the army officers had everything in read mess to execute some of the warriors when orders came for their trial by court nnartial-the court to consist of army officers.
