Anew Orleans special gives the ad.
dress of Gov. McEnery, in which he says
president Grant, as chef magistrate of
the nation, has assumed the high and
grave responsibility Of foisting upon the
people of this state usurpation without
precedent in this or any other free coun
try, and he is answerable before the bar
of public opinion for this high handed
measure. The President, with the army
and navy at command, has the physical
power to coerce the people of this state
into any line Of policy he may be pleased
to dictate, an6 it would be but folly and
madness to interp ose resistance likely to
bring up a conflict with the national au-
thorlty. Yet the deeply fixed sentiments
of irrepressible hostility in the minds and
hearts of an outraged people, against the
vilest usurpation ever attempted to be
foistcd upon free men, will find their full
scope and vent. Iadvise that these man ;
ly and patriotic sentiments take form
and shape through all moral and legal
agencies possible to beNdevised. In the
meantime, | trust peace and order may
reign supreme throughout the state, and
that all our industrial pursuits will be
unembarrassed by political difficulties;
and especially do urge upon TIE .people
of the two races who are numericall y
nearly equal in this state, to cultivate,
one towards the other, nothing but feel
ings of amity, good feeling, and NUT ual
understanding" &Aa ~ WV aaa-e

The Oshkosh Northwestern says
"From all reports, we should judge that
the wheat crop of 1873, in this section
of the state will be larger and better
than ever before since 1860. The
weather has been unusually favorable
during the whole spring. and the recent
soaking rains and cool weather have
made farmers heart leap into his throat
for very gladnesS."

Evans paid the note, but on examining the
back found to his dismay that his signature
had been forged. True, he had indorsed a
note of that date and for precisely that amount,
but II was not this, Investigation followed,
the plot was discovered and tho whole iniquity
exposed to light. Rathbun was arrested,
tried at Batavia, convicted, sentenced to
five years in State Prison, and served out
his time. Subsequently he came to this
city and opened hotel in Broadway near
COrtlandt-st., but was not very successful.
Afterward he kept for some years the small
hotel at the corner of Broadway and Forty
third-st. OF all the millions that had passed
through his hands, he never put away a
dollar for himself, nor could he at any time
have called himself the honest possessor OF
fifty thousand dollars.
The private life of this remarkable man was
from his early manhood singularly irreproGch-
able. He was modest to fault, strictly tenn
perate, never smoked or chewed, never gambled,
kept no equipage, had lno acquaintance with
disreputable people, avoided public places, in
dulgod in no extravagances, but devoted him
self assiduously to his business. He had few
acquaintances, fewer friends, no companions.
10 Jne past nc neVer aluueu' no Ieall1ou w
the full the result of his acts and meekly
accepted the situation. Silently, patiently, un-
complainingly he plodded on his weary, cheer
less way, until finally, at the ripe old age of
eighty-two, himself and his crimes almost for
gotten, he gently fades away.
1t would seem idle TO recall these incidents
of felony committed before most of our
readers were horn if il were not to point q
moral as old as society; that the madness
which springs from greed Of sudden gain
leads naturally to crime, and that it is rarely
given to the acutest Of human intellects to
commit crime and escape. The moral, we
admit, is musty, but it never ceases to be
timely and in general effective. The large
majority of business men are honest, and the
example Of such lamentable lapses as those
we have recently seen undoubtedly is lesson
to the young and a warning to the wavering.
New-York tribune., 1873-07-22

House adopted an amendment in this sense
with perfect unanimity.
The progress which this measure OF reform
has so far made must be regarded with un-
mixed satisfaction. IL is nevertheless sur
prising, for the Judicature Bill was calcula-
ted to occasion conflicts arising from par
simonious administration and thoroughness,
veneration for traditions and the practical re-
quirements of national advancement. We
have been informed by telegraph that the
bill has been adopted by the House OF
Commons. This has been done presumably
without any modification of the extensive
reforms already agreed upon. The success OF
the measure now seems to depend upon the
manner in which the Upper House will regard
the prospect of being totally deprived OF Its
hereditary right of appellate jurisdiction. Even
with the possibility of an adverse vote on
this proposition, we are willing to believe that
Great Britain is soon to have judicial sys-
tenn which is somewhat commensurate with
her enlightened national position.
New-York tribune., 1873-07-22
A HISTORY AND A WARNING.

There died, yesterday, at Fort Washington,
q man who six. and-thirty years ago was noto-
rious throughout the land as the one man
whose forgeries, up to that period, had never
in the history of crime been surpassed in
magnitude Of amount, or skill Of conception
and execution. Even Fauntleroy's were, as
compared with his, the merest trifes. They
rose to millions, and for several years were
carried on with CELEBRITY, precision and sue
cess that were amazing; nor in that particu-
lar specially Of crime has any successor reached
the aggregate of enormity attained by him.
BENJAMIN Rathbun in early life removed
from Chenango County to Buffalo. He be-
came proprietor Of the Eagle Tavern, and by
cleanliness, order, and discipline made it
famous among the hotels of the country.
Extending his business he became interested
in lines of stages between Buffalo and Albany,
and started tho noted "Telegraph Line, for
"slx passengers only,n which was run at q
speed higher than had been previously at
tanned by coach in the United States, and
made for it name among travellers from the
West But bookkeeping and staging failed
to satisfy his ambition. He embarked in
speculation. Lots without number at prices
without limit were bought, and dwellings,
stores, and warehouses were erected. For the
first time in the history of the State fever
of speculation broke out which for uniyer-
salty and wildness has never been approached
by any other city in the Union. Rathbun was
in everything; nothing daunted him; his ex-
ample was so infectious that the grayest
and most timorous money grubbers were
drawn into the vortex and in night made
fabulous fortunes-On paper.
The plan of his forgeries was as ingenious
az it was original. To certain parties he
would propose to buy certain property, or
build certain structures. To raise the neces-
sarY funds with which to initiate the enter
prise, he would make his note for five thou
sand dollars, payable in New-York City at
three or six months, and ask the party whose
interests were to be promoted to indorse the
same. The Endorsement obtained, he would
resort to his countng-room and make from
ten to fifty notes, of the same date and
amount, payable at the same time and place,
and his clerk, an expert .penman. would forge
the Endorsement. To such magnitude had
these transactions grown, that regular Office
was maintained in this city for the purpose of
negotiating the paper the manager being his
nephew. During the few years that the fraud
was kept up the amount negotiated reached
millions of dollars. At length one of the five
thousand dollar notes, bearing the forged in
dorsement of the late David T.. Evans, then
Agent of the Holland Land Company at Batavia,
WAS protsted. and notice sent 10 him. Mr.

THE CANADIAN RAILROAD SCANDAL.

If there were fewer political complications
in what is known as "the Canadian Railroad
Scandal" we might expect to learn the whole
truth about it. Probably we never should
have heard of the alleged combinations of
the Canadian Government with Sir Hugh
Allan, if the Opposition had not been keen to
fix upon the party in power the stigma of
corruption. Sir Hugh Allan, of Ravenscraig,
Knight, obtained railroad contract on his
own terms, although the law provided that
due advertisement for tenders should be made.
This single circumstance naturally excited
suspicion and when other events calculated
to deepen that feeling were noted, the ODpo-
sition thought they had a good case. They
made an open attack in Parliament, de-
mandng an investigation into the whole
matter of the railroad contract The Govern
nent party denied that there was any cor
rupt or private understanding with Sir Hugh
and his associates as to the obtaining OF tho

is now in the dissensions of the Monarchists.
It is reported from Washington that the
Commissioner of the General Land Office is
preparing o refutation of the statement thas
all of the public land of the United States Is
exhausted. The report has gone out tnh' ho
arabic land is left, grants to raiiroauS n"'hs
absorbed all that preemptors, homes'o"u'' ""u
cash purchasers had left. This statement VI
the case was made up from the Official reporIs
of the Land Office. Now the Commissioner
cooJlv turns around and says that the hgures
which furnished the basis OF the report III
question were inexact; in fact, they were so
for wrong that the Department has latteriy
1of. of nnblishing them altogether. we are
s;noorolv clad to learn that there Is plenty
ot orobIe land left for settlers. But the
oeso;oI exclamation of the popular mlsappre-
henson is, to say the least, very funny
That MANY misapprehensions regarding the
Farmers' movement in the West exist In the
East is apparent. What some of these errors
are may be seen by reading portions OF the
Chicago correspondence of THE TRIBUNE,
nrinted this morning. To begin with, there
are two separate organizations in the west
with which the Farmers Movement" has
been connected. These are the Farmers AS
sociation and the Oranges. Our correspondent
corrects the prevalent impression that the
last-named of these is a political organization.
But the other association is avowedly politi-
cal one; and it is credited with the
management of the campaign which
elected Judge Craig. Concerning this gen.
tleman, by the by, our readers will
be glad to learn that he considers himself
unpledged as to questions affecting railroad
questions which may come before him. 1t
must be acknowledged, however, that the
farmers would undoubtedly feel much out
ragged by any decision against their supposed
interests. Our correspondent, in the series OF
intelligent letters of which these are begin
ming, will present the whole controversy ex-
actly as it appears to a candid observer; and
the correspondence herewith printed sheds
much light on the points at issue.

The Commission of Accounts, the Organiza-

department of our Municipal Government.
The function of this branch of executive au-
thority is one of watchfulness and supervis-

required to know where every dollar of the

We publish to-day an interesting and reas-
suring report of Commissioner Van Mort on
the CrotOn Water supply. So much uneasi-
ness has been felt and 80 many grOundless
rumors of a short supply have been circulated,
that this official statement of facts and figures
will be received with much satisfaction. The
Commissioner shows that there are ample
sources of supply, generous flow from these
fountains, and vast storage capacity under
control of the Department of Public Works.
The daily consumption of the city is now
about 92,OOO,OOO gallons; there are over 6,OOO,-
100000 gallons stored, and the work of in
creasing the means of supply and storage
goes on steadily. Evidently we fear no

The arrest in New-Haven of an Italian, for
illegally holding and practically enslaving four
children, may result in some general good. 1t
is notorious that in various cities of the
United States many of the Italian children
employed in begging, backing shoes playing
musical instruments, &C., are the slaves of
bad men whe have secured the young unfor-
tunates by means of some wicked bargain
with unnatural parents, or by kidnapping. The
children are not able to make their wrongs
known; their earnings support their cruel
tasknasters an} it is difficult for the law to
get at the real facts in the case. Here is an
opportunity for the better class of Italian res
idents to do good work for their country
and for humanity.

THE VIENNA EXPOSITION.


THE VIENNA EXPOSITION.
The buildings of the Vienna Expo
sition are now completed and in readi-
ness for the reception of the articles to
be exhibited. Several changes have,
we learn, been made in the general
plan. The center space Of the Palace
of Industry, instead Of being divided
up has been convertel into one colos-
al rotunda, the largest rooted building
N existence, measuring 1862 feet III
diameter and 800 feet in hight. The
iron work of the loof 10 900 tuns. and
it may be imagined that it required 10
small effort of engineering skill to raise
this enormous load 10 hight OF nearly
500 feet. Tie work was accomplished
by 240 men in three months. The
central structure Of iron, covered with
an outer coating Of masonry connected
with the ntcror by girders. Some
idea Of the dimensions of the vast fabric
mag be gained from the fact that
rcgimcnt.of infantry numbering l,400
men could conveniently be paraded on
the ARCHITECTURAL coince which ruus
round the inside WHERE the roof joins
The columns.
The materials Of which buildings
are composed are mainly iron, wood
and glass, hut the walls, wer~ not clear
storied, are filed in with brick. Tho
outward decorations, which are very,
imposing and of a soIidity apparently
sufficiently to last for ages, are made OF
canvass stepped in fluid plaster of Paris
aud hardened in molds With admir-
able taste, a blue texture Of jute spans
gled with golden ornaments has been
selected as wall covering, which
contrasts arreeably with the dark rcd
of the supporting columns.
Tie machinery hall is simple brick
building with 10 pretcnsion 20 archi-
tecural display. The motive powers,
cranes, boilers and engines are all

seventy horse power and cranes hitting
less than tuns are excluded. Borsig's

The supplementary structures will
consist of cdifces for the accommodation
of distinguished visitors, and annexes to
hold the excess of not finding room in
the great galleries. The Austrian
Emperor is to have maguifcently
fitted up pavilion. and it is stated that
the French and German buildings will
vie with it in grandeur. krupp, of
cast steel renown, will stock special
eaifice with his own inventions, and
the New Free Press boldly aspires to
out-do the London Times, whose
machinery was last year exhibited IN
London, by erecting a pavilion of its
own. One space of 1900 square me>
ters is appointed to hold German edu-
cational apparatus and appliances. !
Danger from fire is almost be.
yond the reach of possibility. There
a large basin of water in the grounds
filled conveniently from the adjoining
Danube, which might at any moment
convert the whole area into q lake.
The basin was constructed at cost OF
$4,000, and in addition thereto, lire
engines and hydrants are provided in
sufficient numbers to inundate every
gallery in the buildings.
