coast, and refused TO take government paper
money = Jones reply was a staggerer In
tna< event, ne said, the governments WouId
have put down the rebellion for 81 500 OOO.-
goo less than L was done. Exclsmations
were heard from the senators and
attendants, and the galleries felt the
pith OF the response, and began to ap-
plaud. Thus encouraged, Jones launched
into speech apparently of hand, though
somewhat after the manner of the miners
when they stand in their shirt-sleeves and
discuss anything at the month Of the Dit.
the senators were now listening with that
attention which wag, a millionaire, an
honest miner, and curiosity naturally re-
celVes on his first appearance. There was
isngnter, renewed interest, and a roll of APP
piause again, Jones' argument was the
more eIiectiVe becau.e made from domes-
seemed to be less an effort OF intelligent
thought than
AN ILLUSTRATION FROM POOR RICHARD.
We heard no more of Morton. Heucefor-
ward Jones grew fervid, earnest and almost
eloquent. He advocated resumptionofspecie
payment July 4, 1876, as the best centennial
exnioition, and the most honest which great
nation could make. Turning then to the
South ne expressed the want of that mulish
section IN two or three sentences, which
were as happy as they were pungent. Too
many people wanted to hire others and too
few wanted to hire themselves. The lesson
OF Jones speech to me was this: That no
scandal can Kill genuine thing. They do
barter IN legislatures to elect senators.
They barter with everything short
OF money in some of the best common
wealths. They barter with champagne and
cigars, with promises to offices, with lying
smiles and compliments, with mock refer
ences to pious things, with np-snj>knee
service. They barter with running friends,
VINO swell to unreal excellence the candi-
dasp's merits, with the temptations of wo-
mans Establishments, and with so much
that is false and cunning that wonder how
man can slip through q state legislature
and appear in congress pure and sslf-respect-
ing. III Jones did barter-and they say he
did; that is, they say he bought off the other
candidates and let the legislature storm
Crown Point-he was the first to stand up
and say that be admitted it; that he put it on
no defence lower than the act. II people buy
their seats, let them adorn them as well as

WHOLESALE BUTCHERIEs.

THE ATROCITIES COMMITTED IN THE ARGEN-
TINE REPUBLIC-CoLD-BLooDE MURDERS.
The Panama Star and Herald OF the 21st of
March gives a fearful account of horrible
crimes which have recently been enacted
by the military heroes of the army of Lopez
Jordan. The scenes which it describes
were, it states, witnessed by one Don Emilio
Victoria. who was made prisoner, and taken,
with six others, to the camp at Querencio.
They were then ordered to march under a
guard of twenty musketeers, commanded by
a brother of Hermosi, to where Querencio
was, on the other side of Gualeguay. When
they arrived at the farm OF st. Augustin,
Senior Euclides 1rigoyen came out
TO meet Thorn armed with a lance,
and, approaching the officer, said: .'Why
DO you make these people suffer so
much? Anyhow, I know you have orders
to kill them on arriving at the forest, so you
had better let us kill them at once" The
offices refused to agree TO his proposals. As
soon as they had reached the cane of Quer-
encio. Chamorro was made fast. Again next
day the order came that all the prisoners
should be dispatched. They began with
Chamorro. who was lanced to death. My
turn was to come next, when an order came
to bring me before Querencio, which was
done. Later in the day he delivered me
over to Lopez Jordan, who kept me with
him until his defeat by Don GoDzalo. All
the chiefs had orders to kill whom they
pleased. Lopez Jordan ordered his victims
70 be dispatched after insulting them in the
vilest language. Others, such as Gonzalez
and Campos, would address one of these I'M
fortunates, "Who are your SO and so.
ssWhere from?" "Entreriano." "kill him,
he is a savage" The executioner then step
ped out to do his duty. Each chief had his
own executioner. He drew his weapon
and in a few seconds the head of poor
! father of family rolled on the ground.
Such were the common everyday assassi-
nations. Some 800 had been murdered in
| this manner. The assassin, Nico Coronel,
captured on the coast of Parana great
number of foreigners occupied in collecting
firewood, charcoal-burners, with Italians
and Spaniards. Some he assassinated, and
to others he administered from 600 to LOO
lashes and compelled them to serve in the
infantry. A boy was punished by having q
stake thrust through his body. The last
victim was Felipe Velasquez, soldier OF
Captain Antelo. who had come to visit bis
seven children. When Lopez Jordan or
dered his execution, two days before the
battle, this soldier reminded him OF his
long services, his large family, and prom
ised If he would spare his life to serve him
faithfully. This chief was memorable. The
bandiqvsra was ordered to dispatch him at

HE CLAIMS THAT THE COURT HAS DECIDED
But HE WILL AGREE
ST. LOUIS, May 10-A Democrats Little
Rock special says that the following was
telegraphed to Washington to-day:
LITTLE Rock, May 10, 1874.
To Attorney General Williams:
Your dispatch submitting the proposition
to submit the question of who was duly
elected governor, and to refrain from war
like demonstrations until the contest was
finally settled by the Legislature or national
government, as proposed in your dispatch,
is accepted. My claims to the governorship
have already been adjudged in the
Criminal Court, in proceeding
where the main question at issue was, Who
was governor of Arkansas? Notwith-
standing this feel so confident OF the cleo
ton and the business of my claim, that am
willing to submit the question to the
tribunal, you have named, and peace
fully abide the determination, at
all times asserting that the only tribunal
that can or has the right to construe the con-
stitution is the Supreme Court of the state,
which, in its late decision in.the case OF
Brooks against Page, determined that the
Circuit Court had both the power and juris-
diction TO adjudicate my right TO the Office.

CONTROL OF THE SPIRIT TRADE.


From this it was fully expected that the per-
centage of drunkenness, already reduced by
more than one half in Gothenburg, would
soon show much greater dinIunition. The
alteration Of the law originated in move
ment among the working classes of Gothen-
burg, who pressed upon the city's represen-
tstives the necessity of urging the diet of
Stockholm to adopt It. The good already
effected was amply attested by the testi-
mony of all the authorities in Gothenburg,
municipal and clerical. The financial re-
suits were very important, as on them must
depend the practicability of the scheme.
Last year the profit handed over to the
town treasurer was Ell, $40; besides
which the town sold to private persons
% retail licenses for one year for 81 400
The number OF gallons Of spirits sold by the
company was nearly three per head, sup
posed to be exceeded by the sales of the re-
tall shops. This was a fearfully large
amount, but large proportion was sup
piled TO the country population, of which
l70, 900 in that province had only 10 licensed
houses. The consumption of spirits tor all
Sweden rather exceeded two gallons per head.
That of Scotland was about two gallons.
The company carried on its large business
without any paid-up capital: an advance
was obtained from bank, and the balance
of interest. had never exceeded e:s5 at the
end OF the year. The GothenbuTg system
bad been completely and partially tried in
two-thirds of the Swedish towns, and was
extending to Norway. lf. ..rf..

Archbishop Manning lately presided at
the national demonstration OF the Catholic
Total Abstinence League of the Gross. Dur
ing his remarks he urged his co-religonists
and the public at large not to be misled by
the apparent lightness ofthe sheets ofpolice
charges into an idea that drunkenness was
on the decrease; for. though its more Often
sive forms might be suppressed. the vice in
private had shown but little decrease: and
he had reason to fear that drink largely in
tested the homes of all classes-too often in
Guiding women, the wives and mothers of
families. He feared that if the liqour trade
went on increasing at its present rate it
would become not only very powerful in
parliament and in the country, but too
powerful-for the legislature to hold in check.
He then urged bis flock, one and all, to Gull
tivate temperance and abstinence in their
several households, If not for their Gown
sakes, at all events for that of their children,
who were too often pauperized and thrown
upon the tender mercies Of the work house
by the drunkenness of their parents.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is gen
orally considered the most heinous crime after
murder. The man who deliberately enters in a
clandestne manner the dwelling. store, or Office
Of another In the dead hour Of the night, takes
his life into his own hands and would not hesitate
to kill his victim II ovorhaued and caught at his
ungodly calling.
A little over month ago we recorded the fact
that Mr.. Mossop's store had been entered by
burglars and robbed Of quantity Of goods and
some money. The thieves have not been discov-
cred. Last Friday night the tobacco store Of
Mr.. Watson, on Market street, was entered in a
similar manner and robbed Of large amount Of
tobacco, cigars, pipes, etc. The robber, who ap-
pears 10 have dropped out Of the late Indian
show, was arrested at ponheld by Constable
Mcclellan, on Saturday afternoon, with large
portion Of the pluuder in his possession. The
eulprit whose name is Edward Leslie, Is now in
prison, and will no doubt turn up in the Pcnitcn-
tiary after September Court.
The third and last robbery we have to record
occurred on Sunday night. Some william, yet un-
known to the officers Of the Law, broke into the
merchan, tailoring establishment Of Mr.. Henry
bridge, and stole thercfrom a large quantity Of
clothing. The entrance was effected through a
back window. Thus, within about month, has
this daring crime been committed three times and
only one Of the scoundrels secured.
