preparjpr for n Great Blast.

/ In July, 1869, at He'll Gate, was begun
the work Of honesconbing the gneiss rock,
which may be called the trysting place OF
the tides, because the tides frem Sandy

oily begr1 and taroily prosecuted, is to be
resumed in few days, having been sus-
pended in November last, owing to the ex.
haustion of appropriations. The industry
and i'm mpcrrunity CT some New York mem
be.s of the late Congress resulted in having
$225, 900 appropriated for East river i'm
provements. More than $l0Q, 900 of this
SUN is needed for the removal of the rocks
near Harlem and Diamond and COenties
reefs are also to be provided for out Of this
appropriation. The sum to be expended on
the Hell Gate work has not yet been deter
n'uet. II the whole appropriation could
be applied 10 it, the work would speedily
be completed 70 tie point of blowing up the
ten feet crust OF rock which is superiLcum-
beEo between tho waters and the tunnels
underneath.
These tunnels are a Triumph of engineer
ing well worthy Of study. They commence
with great shaft or hole sunk on the
Long Island shore, projected by cotfer
dam, from which ten main tunnels or head
ings Iadiate. These headings are intersecte0
by what are termed galleries, forming semi.
concentric rings about the grand shaft. Up
to the time OF the suspension of work last
November, about thousandlineal feet OF
excavation had been made during the fiscal
| wear, leaving between five and six hundred
feet for the completion Of the tunnels The
columns of rock left to support the river bed
are to be reduced to the smallest size con
! sistent with safety, and this, with the com
pletion Of the tunnehng, viii be the work
for this year.

A plea Ger the Car Driver.

Be kind to the street car driver. Not
many know all that he epdures. Without
the advantage o. having an eye IN each cor
ner OF his head. he is REQUIRED to see all
that passes within two squares OF him,
whether it be in front, TO the right. to the
le!t. or to the rear: and be is expected to
keep quiet when woman or other person
VIM has not succeeded il getting the car
stopped instantly addresses withering re-
luarRs TO hin. Always an object Of sus
plcien, in consequence OF the amounts OF
money by which he Is constantly sur
rounded. and criticised By an unjust and
undIscrimiDating pubic as to his spirit OF
accommodation, 1t ls no wonder that he oc-
casicnally gives vent to his feelings in extra
whacks upon the tough hide OF the least
sprightly Of his mules. Up in Cincinnati he
is probably treated with less consideration
than anywhere else in America, and
it is wonder that some body, there
does not start some sort OF q So
ciety for his protection. the mules long
ago having been provided for in that
respect The Cincinnati driver is on duty
fifteen hours day, aud though conduc-
tor helps him to manage the car, be is
allowed no time for dinner. From4his early
and hastily swallowed breakfast till his
late and perhaps meagre supper, his stom-
ach cries TO him in vain for anything better
than q dry msrsel which he may have
slipped into pocket in the morning. He is
consequently unhealthy and unhappy, and
his lot is made still sadder by the knowl-
edge that if, in his pride and vanity, he
were to resign, fifty unemployed men
would stand ready to mount his platform
and CRY, ''Glong," while he would pass
into oblivion. 1t may be that be is to blame
for his condition in life. 1t is possible that
he played base ball and went in aswimming
when he might have been fitting himself
for pleasanter occupation than street car
driving, but he really ought to have his

chancellor Fielder Mobbed in Greenviile.

NIGHT before last Chancellor Fel elder made
. sneech on the political situation, in the
conr,ho mae at Greenviue. We have not
Isa1ned whether there had been any riotous
N manifestations within the walls of the court
house, The presumpsi sion is that the Chan
ceIior made Ills best effort TO present the
Rsnnhlican side OF the question to the best
of his ability. After the speaking was con-
cluded, and the Chaneeilor mad ieft lhe
Courthouse. he was violently assailed oy a
shower of bricks. stones and rotten eggs.
The Chancellor, thinking prudence the oesO s.s
part IF valor THAT is, IN hls eqnitao ote ais-
cretionh retreated within the sacred pre-
cincts. and Micawber like, waited for some
thing TO turn up. .ber

doing so. and conducting him to the regis

he was soiourning. The ungovernabie moo
nr,rsned him even to this retreat, and con
Timed pouring their missiles against tne
roof that contained the sacred person OF
the chancellor of the southern district OF
xiahama. We have not learned that the
chancellor urged, in his speech, anything
narticularly or politically offensive to ms
PPmdience to warrant such an attack on ms
narson: but that he was SO attacked we
hare from an indubitable source.

annual exh 'bition ia Exposition Hall, and
it must be acknowled ged that the associa-
toms friends we're very tardy. The entries
were few and not above. ordinary, and the

best advantage. Of fruit. grapes were the

the display is good and the varieties rare.

Governor Moses and His Impending Fate.
The Washington correspondent OF the st.

Louis Globe Of the thirteenth says:
Recert arrivals from South Carolina state
tia. JaGge Mackev, of that State, will en-
Geavor TO bring Governor Moses for trial
SefoTe the Circuit Court over which he pre-
sides, on charges OF conspiracy, mal1eas-
arce, peculati6E AID dishonesty. 1t Is
claimed the acts on which the grand jury
will present indictments against Moses are
snch as bring him within the operations OF
criminal law, withoar regard to any official
protection or first need of Impeachment.
Among other acts charged, 1t is stated that
Moses induced oy Treats and persuasiODs,
as we'll as compiicity IN profits OF transac-
tions, certain cou4!y treasurers, who lave
already been iuGicted, tried, sent to
jail, and psIdoned by Moses, to send
1un3s to him. which, by law, should have
gone elsewhere, and thus appropriated
them to his OVID use and that of his confed-
crates. tis claimed that the Governor can
be Indicted, tried and convicted on these
and similar matters Judge Mackey de-
clares his intention 10 push tie matter at
the ensuing term of his court. When here

made to serve the same, bringing him TO

as Governor, he can be impeached. and II
convicted, can be tried by the courts. He
win resist all other steps.
Mackey's position IS that the Gftenses on
which it is now proposed TO arraIgn him are

Custer

A Dakota correspondent writes the toll
lowing: This spring General Custers
golden curls have been sacrificed; he iooks
younger, more soldierly, although less
poetical and the coming reconnaissance
will prove if he is shorn of his strength. At
present General Custer is thirty tour years
old-a slender, fair haired, blue-eyed man.
His wife, charming lady, who as shared
Lis marches and victories since early IN the
war. is as gentle and cultivated, and yet as
soidierlv a. q woman can be, and her home
is one green spot, if there be no others in
the frontier life of the officers of the
Seventh. A few evenings since the writer,
entering Clusters library, saw a new phase
of this mans character. He sat on low
stool by his desk, with a spelling book in
his hand; before him were two little girls,
one white and the other colored, the chill
dren Of his servants, whom he was afford
ing the necessities denied by the lack of
schools. Apolcgizing for my interruption,
! was Withdrawing, when he cried ont in
his hearty way: "Come in! come in! and see
my scho0lw I entered the room, and in a
pleasant, familiar way he went on with his
teaching, having his scholars spell the
words alternately, tell their meaning, and
construct sentences. have found that this
has been his custom for several years, and
Ill these little people Of his household know
Of written words il what he has taught
them"
