THE CONQUERING HEROES.
A a. aud Reception Given the Second
west India Regiment. Seturaed
from the AsbRatee War.

NEW YORK, May pa Kingston,
Jamaica, letter gives the particulars OF 8
recention Of the second West India regi-
ment on their return from the AshRDtee
war. The troops landed on the after
noon Of the eighteenth, amid salv0s of
artillery and general acclamatiOns Of cit
liens, OF whom there could not have been
less than twenty thousand out of doors.
The city was gaily decorated, especially
the streets forming the line OF march to
the uacc-COurse, where a municipal ad-
dIess was made. Under two triumphal
arches the heroes passed amid the wav-
ing Of fhandkelchieis and repeated cheers
of all classes ofiuhabitants. On arriving
A. the parade ground the troops were re-
cei -ed by the commandant OF the STA
ton with staff and guard of honor, COM
losed os companies OF white troops. On
ihe twen ty-fifth the returning regiment,
officers and men, were entertained at a
bspouet giveg by the citizens. All this
honor. the writer says, was accorded,
moi simply as a recognition OF the great
services rendered by the Second West
India. but as a demonstration of the dis
aDpointment felt at the studied neglect
with which the West India regiments
were treated by General WOolsey in bis
speeches and dispatches.

Press Opinions.

NEW York. May 29.-Mayor Witt,
Of New Orleans, has addressed another
urgent appeal for aid to Mayor Have
never, in which he says: "WlI New

ruined and famishing people? A fam

gr,ce. which the wealth and philsn-
fhrorv OF America must prevent at all

desires help from this city he should ad-
drsss the chamber Of commerce, or any
bo9v int Hevemeyer. That individual
has sunk SO low in public estimation
that nobody is willing TO trust him IN
auytbing.1 The board Of aldermen by

mayor TO suspend and remove the police
commissioners for malfeasance IN the
administration Of two Of the most i'm
portant departments of their Office, the
Tribune states that the police commits

likely 70 heed the voice of the city, as
EXPRESSED through the common council.

titled with election Irregularities to rem
der il probable that he will pay any at

ROYAL GOSSIP.
The Retirement of the DuclIess Of Edin
buFga Makes Material for
Discussion.

NEW YORK, May pa letter from
London about the statement in the
Times of the obvious causes of the nom
appearance Of the Duchess of Edinburghs
at the queens drawing room, and the
announcement the following morning
that such q statement was in no way
authorized BY the Duke of Edinburgh,
says it was plain to every one that such
an announcement as that in the Times
would not have been put forth by the
conductor of the journal on his own re-
sponsibility. 1t must therefore have
been what the French call ''eomique," ="
and the only question was by whom it
could have been sent. Public opinion
pointed at once 10 the queen, and public
opinion continues to regard her majesty
as the author of the statement, but for
whatpurpose it was made, unless to throw
the public off the scent no one can
imagine. Both the Prince of Wales and
the Duke of Edinburgh are exceedingly
indignant at the whole affair, but the
opportune arrival of the Czar viii post
pone, If it does not put an end to, any
chance of an open breach between the
members of the royal family.

A big Haul of COunterfefters at Gin
ciunati by United states Detectives.

CuNCINNATI. May 29.-United States
detectives have been here ever since
the haul Of counterfeiters in West Ten
nessee, nearly a year ago. 1t was sscer-
tanned that the counterfeit circulated
there was made In Ohio. The detectives
did not make themselves known TO any
one outside OF the United States court
officers. not even TO the city police, and
their names to-day are secret. Having
worked up the case thoroughly they
commenced last midnight making ar
rests. George Stoffelkamp, keeper of
a grocery, was the first "taken in"
Word got out that he had been kidnap-
ned. and the MetrOpolitans made vigor-
ous search for the kidnsppers. Arrests
followed rapidly, until ten persons were
in the custody Of the United States mar
shal. Their names are Jenny Trist-
e1eIL, Jacob Devote, William Gordon,
John Mills, James 7. Earle, John
Kaptzmyer, B. Stella, Mary Brown
and Wm. Breckly. Their cases were
cont uued till next week, and all the
nartie,y, except Stoffelkamp, who gave
bsiI. were put in the county Jail. The
exset amount Of the "queer,n and the
nature Of evidence in possession Of the
detectives has rot been publicly devel-
oped.

The Cholera.

From an Occasional COrrespondent.l
CHATTANOOGA, May 25, IS74.-For
the last two days the city authorities
have entertained the editorial excursion
lists, some eighty persons, including a
tied all the prominent points, including
five o'clock, all well pleased, and no
doubt, when they return to their homes,
they will give q favorable report of the
hospitalities of the south. 1t will do
more TO convince the north that we hold
no i'll feeling toward them, than any
thing that has happened in years. 1t is
astonishing the amount of capital being
invested here in manufactures. 1t is
the only salvation of the south, and it
behooVes every one TO encourage any
and all kinds of establishments for man
ufacturing. We regretted to see in an
article of yours, few days ago, that
any one should be so prejudiced as to not
encourage even 80 simple an article as
soap. That puts me in mind that,
among other factories l visited, was 8
sOap-wOrks here, and the merchants say
they will encourage it. While upon as
clean a subject as making, no one,
unless he would take the trou-
BILE to examine, can tell the quantity
of that article sold in your city
not less than five hundred thousand dol
lars worth s year. Suppose your mer-
chants would encourage the manufac-
turing of this article. 1t would give
employment to over one hundred men,
and direct support TO seven hundred to
eight hundred persons. AS it is now,
grease and tallow is shipped to Cinein-
matt and st. Louis and returns in soaps.
The crops look well, but rain is needed
very much. Since my absence l have
been frequently asked if cholera did not
exist in Memphis. From the best in
formation can get railroad runners cir
culate these reports to get the travel
from Memphis, and by their lies get
parties to go by way Of Nashville,
through Louisville or Columbus, west
to Texas. The great topic of converse
ton on the cars and at hotels is the civil
rights bill. All agreei IL President Grant
does not veto 1t that 1t will destroy the
common school system of the south,
and do more than anything else to de-
moralize our country. 1 am sorry to
say that the schools at Lebanon, Ten
nessee, have been dismissed in conse-
Juence of the death Of three persons OF
cholera. My information is from one OF
the scholars who arrived here this morn

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Figures and Facts for the Consideration
Of Radical Politicians in the
Southern states.

From the New York World.
Accounts given in Washington dis
patches of the passage of the civil rights
bill by the senate describe many of the
Republican senators who voted for the
bill as halfashamed Of what they were
doing and as more than half doubtful of
the expediency of their action. The votes
which were cast against conscience,
however, summed up as roundiy in the
majority as did those which were cast in
self-righteousness; and the question of
conscience is a question of no account in
the practical results of the senate's Fri
day nights work. As for the expedi-
ency Of the measure, that is something
more tangible than the consciences of
Republican senators; and the doubts
which many Republican senators felt on
that score were fully justified, il, indeed,
they were not to some extent inspired
by the figures of the ninth census, for
the following table made from the ninth
census shows that there are only three
States in the Union wherein the negroes
have majority, and only two wherein
a square division of the races at the polls
the negro majority is large enough to be
fairly counted upon:

could not be successfully counterfeited.
Assistant-Seeretaries Sawyer and MeCar-
tee were present to answer questions
propounded relative to the cost Of print
ing. The counsel of the New York
bank-note printing company propound-
ed several interrogatories especially re-
garding what they called irreconeilable
discrepancies in the cost Of printing GER
tain kinds of fractional currency, as
noted in McCartee's schedule. This
was answered on behalf of the printing
bureau by the statement that some of
the fifty-cent notes were printed at
less price by secret process, which was
explained to the committee in secret
session.

Delaware, Maryland and Missouri are
NOT given in the table because negro
supremacy in those states Is weil-known
to be impossible. The passage Of the
civil rights bill will tend to keep the
negro voters consolidated IN favor OF the
Republican party, but it will also con-
solidate the white vote OF the south
more strongly than ever against the
Republican party. And after intiicting
Infinite injury on the eommon-school
