GREElEYS WILL.

In the Greeley-will case, before
the contest in favor of the death bed
will of Mr.. Greeley was withdrawn
by his eldest daughter, Mr. H. NJ.
Williams of the counsel for the ex.
ecutors of the earlier will, that of
1871 made the following statement,
which confirms all that has been
said, and hints at a great deal more
as to the last will being the result
of conspiracy. He says.
1.-The contestants of the will OF
1872 have proof of its fraud, ,and on
ly wanted an opportunity to call it.
The developments would be as
founding. They would show that
he who had been the victim of every
conspiracy in his lifetime, was vic
tim of the worst of all conspiracies
at his death. This pretended will
was the child of conspiracy, execut-
ed at a moment when the chamber
of death should have been sacred
from the presence of the men who
want to execute that will. l charac-
terize that as desecration Of"
Mr.. Williams did not however ex-
plain his inuendoes.

1HEERANKINe kRusE

The following anecdote, related by
the Washington correspondent OF
of the New York Times, shows the
necessity that existed for abolishing
the franking abuse. 'eThere has late
ly been deposited in the Dead Let
ter Office what will no doubt be for
many ages preserved as a relic OF
the franking privilege. 1t is box
containing an old rusty appleparing
machine, weighing four or five
pounds, which started somewhere in
Alabama for the great Northwest,
and got as far as Chicago before it
was arrested for vagrant fraud. 1t
seems that some one had taken the
envelope from campaign document
sent from here last summer, in pack
ages already franked, but not ad-
dressed as thousands were sent out
by the congressional committee, and
had pasted it on the box containing
the pairing maching, addressed it,
and sent it flying through the mails.
The name thus appropriated was
Platt of Virginia.

A CASE FOR PHRENoLoeIsTs.

Phrenologists now have an op-
portunity to locate beyond doubt the
position memory holds in the convo-
lutions of the brain. A man held
in Elmira, n. Y, struck his head
against beam three years ago was
rendered Insensible. He rapidly re-
covered, prospered in busines, and
enjoyed perfect health until a few
days ago, when he experienced
acute pains in his head. These soon
passed away, he .regained his physi-
cal health, but his memory from the
time he struck his head against the
beam to the present is blank. He
remembers distinctly, all that
transpired up to the accident
but is puzzled to account for
his two children born since
that time. He addresses his bust
ness partner as the schoolmas-
ter,which position he held previous
to the accident. The case lisa curious
one, and unaccountable to medical
experts.

At the cl ose of the war the Unit

South. This stock was sold at a

railroad companies are still indebt-

ial purchased: a.. .r

debts. This is in accordance with
the terms of purchase.

A CHIMES TRICK.

There were two seats in car turn.
ed so as to face each other. One
was occupied by a lady and the 9TH
er by a Chinaman. Evidently the
lady did not relish the presence of
the Chinaman. She explained to
him that she wanted to take the
cushions and their frames and place
them lengthways across from seat
to seat. John said "all rightee," !"
and got out in the aisle while she
proceeded to lie down on the bed
thus provised, with her head rest
ing upon her valise. She supposed
the Chinaman would take tie hint
that she wanted to rest in the space
usually coupled by four persons.
But John at once proceeded to crawl
in and stretch himself by her side,
with his head on a valise of his own.
The Chinese are an initiative race,
and like to do as others do, you
know. The lady as soon as she dis
covered that she had bedfellow,
got up little wildly and started for
the next car, to the infinite amuse-
ment of the passengers who had
been watching the little scene with
some interest. John took no notice
of the fun he had created, but went
to sleep with the whole bed to him.

IHEIouIsIANA ELECTION.

Without pretending to know in
advance of the investigation Of the
courts, what the result of the vote
in the late election in Louisiana has
been, one fact must not be lost sight
of. The cencus of 1872 shows that
the colored and white populations
were very nearly equally balanced,
and as a large number of the whites
about eighty thousand, are of for
eign birth, a number of them were
certainly not naturalized SO as to be
qualified to vote. If, then, the col
ored and white vote was equal, no
evidence has appeared that any con
siderable number of colored men vo-
ted the Greeley electoral ticket;and
as at least twelve thousand white
votes were cast for the Republican
ticket.it is quite clear that the Dem
ocratic majority, which was anounc-
ed by Warmouth's self-constituted
board of canvassers, was tainted
with fraud. If the real vote can
not be ascertained, we hope Con-
gress will order a special election
for members of the next Congress,
and have said election superin-
teded by United States officials.

GOV. DIX AND MURDERERs.
The Sight Way to View the Matter.

Gov. Dix, in refusing to pardon a
murderer named Gaffney, for killing
one Patrick Fahey, makes state
ment of his views which ought
to receive the widest publicity. He
says:
son a critical examination Of
the case, l find no reason to inter-
pose the Executive authority OF the
State to shield him from the punish
ment awarded by the law. The jury
after a protracted deliberation up
on the testimony, found him guilty
Of murder in the first degree, the
Court of Appeals, on a review OF the
record of his trial discovered no err
ror of law in the proceeding of the
verdict, and he has had in all the
steps taken for his defeuse, the bene-
fit of able and devoted counsel.
A large number Of the citizens of
Buffalo, including supervisors mem
bers of the Common Council and
the jurors, have petitioned me to
commute his sentence to imprison-
ent for life.
While participating in the sympa
thy felt by his fellow-townsmen tor
the young family of the condemned
criminal, cannot forget that our
sympathy is equally due to the
friends of the victim, who was hur-
ried without a moments warning in
to eternity, and to the orderly mem
bers of society whose lives are in
daily peril from the alarming pre-
valence of murderer. Nor can l for
get that such anexercise of clemency
as is asked of me may, by inspiring
in brutal violators of the law the
hope of escaping punishment, be
come an incentive to new crimes.
In this case the criminal was playing
at cards in a drinking saloon, armed
with murderous weapon, and ready
to use it on the first provocation land
after an interchange of opprobrious
language with a young man VINO
had entered the room he fired at the
latter three shots, of which one prov

cases will have the effect of deter

mitting this highest of crimes, I am
willing to have it understood that
circumstances of a very extraordi-
nary nature will be needed to induce
me to interpose for the purpose of
an nulling the deliberate and we'll
considered determination of juries
and courts" .-
This declaration of the Governor
helps to make the punishment of
murder certain in the State of New
York.

WARNING TO UMBRELLA CARRIERS.

The man swore and the chap with

the point of the umbrella in a tall

gave it jerk, and the umbrella
point tore off portion of small

WOMEN AND GIRLS ON AsTRIRE.

The operatives who have been EN-
ployed in the wooden good manufac
tory of the Messrs. Brown, at
Eighth and Tasker streets. Philadel-
phia, refused to resume work after
the dinner hour on Monday. They
marched in body to the other man
ufactory of the firm, at Moore street
and Moyamensing avenue, expecting
the employees there to join in the
strike, but it seems there was evi-
IDENTIFY misunderstanding. The
operatives say that the employers.
have introduced finer work, which
yields a higher profit in the market.
and it takes longer to make it up
than the work which the employees
have been used to doing. The diff
ference appears to be that making
the finer work, at the same rate of
wages allowed for the coarser fabric
would be at loss of one and q half
days in each week to each person
employed, as it takes six days to
make up the same quantity of fine
work which required only four and
a half days On the coarser materi-
al.
