SELF g rILLoT1sED. -tsan Francisco Chron.
icle. November 9th about 2 O'Clock yes
terday morning Officer Bonner, while pa,
trolling his beat on the water front, discover
ed man on the street with his head through
glass door and his body covered with
blood. The man was found to be James
Donnelly, a lopgshoreman. While stagger.
ing along the street very much under the in.
fiuence Of liquor he stumbled, and in falling
his bead went through the glass. Being
too drunk to sxtricate himself he hung there
supported by his neck and knees until re.
IIeyed by the officer. he was taken TO the
city prison, where his wound was sewed up.
His throat was gashed in = terrific manner,
and he had lost a great quantity OF blood.
The cut was about five inches long and two
inches deep, extending from q point within
q sixteenth of an inch of the jugular vein TO
the windpipe. Several of the lateral branches
of tho juguar and large muscles Of the neck
were severed. The man was wild with drink,
and struggled so desperately while the cash
was being sewed up that it took six men to
hold him. He was removed to the hospital.
DR., Stiyers says the cut was the most fright
full one he ever saw, but he thinks the man
will recover.

CossuMrrIoN OF SMoKR.-The proprietors
OF the Cleveland Herald have recently ap:
piled an apparatus to their Office chimney
which is claimed TO be a perfect preventive
ofsmoks and great saver OF fue. The as
eoyery, which the Herald thinks 10 O. very
valuable one, wss purely accidental. A me-
ehauic of that city was trying to secure q
hstter draft for sluggish fire, and the
thought occurred to him, after other devices
had failed, to try the effects OF steam. A
small pipe was made to conduct tue dry
+" steam y from the top, Of the boiler to the
upper part of the furnace, which it entered
i'm two small jets, striking downward on Inc
burning fuel. No sooner was the steam IN
iected into The furnace than the sluggish,
smoky fire sprang up into clear, bright yell
logish and intensely hot fame, filing the
whole furnace With loud rosr. The man
found he had not only secured strang
draft. but something much more important,
4 smokeless fire. AS an experiment the ap-
paratns was attached to the furnace OF the
Herald engine, which was converted from q
nuisance OF smoke and SCOT
into smokeless fire.

THE NArY.-The report Of Secretary
Robson shows the navy to be in remarka-
bly, efficient condition, containing 163 war
vessels with an armament OF 1,254 guns.
Twenty.six of these vessels have sail-poWer
only, leaving steam.navy of l37 vessels of
all classes. One-half Of the steam. navy
adapted to cruising is now in actual service.
He recommends gradual and constant addi-
ton to the navy to supply the places of worn
out vessels. The Secretary refers. briefly to
the Virgipius affair, the yellow-fever at Pen
sacola, gives an extended review of the great
naval drill, and aludes favorably to the pub
lie marine-school, system. A novel feature
of the report is an account Of an effort to Sc
cure the emigration of Icehnders to Alaska.
A commission Of Tcelanders was taken to
Alaska on the steamer Portsmouth. They
made a reconnaissance, and have just returned
to San Francisco. The Secretary believes
they are we'll pleased, and will return home
and recommend an immediate emigration OF
those hardy fishermen and sailors, who, II
they do not like. Alaska, will doubtless settle
in the neighboring territories further south.

THE CONDITION OF THE NEeR oEs.-[Frem
the st. Louis Republican. THAT the condi-
lion of the southern negroes is not all that
could be desired is possibly true. But that
they are In worse condition than the mass
Of working people in some OF tine northern
and eastern States Is matter that admits of
doubt. The truth is that, as general rule,
in all the southern States the colored popu-
Iation are freer, labor less, and enjoy life
more, than the working classes in Pennsyl-
vania, New York, or any eastern State. The
miners OF the Lsckawanna, the .shoemakers
of New England, the laborers in the Jersey
potteries, labor more continuously, nave
fewer Of the comforts Of life, ana are Dound
by heavier shaekles than any negroes OF the
South. The negroes are not rich, and, or
course, must perform meniai services ust us
the white laborers of the North and East
do; but they are no more oppressed than
whites of the same class.

EXCITING DEBATE IN THE FRENCH Assem-.
BLY.-Paris, December 5, evening.--The Ma
tioual Assembly has been engaged in an ex-
citing debate for the past two days on the
bill which was supported by the clerical
deputies for freeing the University from the
control of the State. The principal speakers
were the Bishop Dupanloup. legitimist, and
Challemel La Cour, radical deputy for the
Bouches du Rhone. Bishop Dupanloup, in
the course of bis remarks to-day, passion
ately declared that danger to society was to
be apprehended from the friends of those
who favored the shooting of the Archbishop
of Paris. This remark occasioned great tu-
multi in the chamber. Upon the restoration
of order Challemel La Cour retorted upon
the Bishop Dupaploup in a speech of great
bitterness. He said he left such PERSONAL
ties to the judgment of honest men and those
who bad some regard left for the dignity of
the French episcopate.
=. Upon the conclusion Of the discussion the
bill passed its second reading by vote of
553 against 1873. H..

THE PETERSBURG RAILROAD CoMPAHY-Ar

The PETERSBURG RAILROAD CoMPAEY-AT-
TACHMENT OF ROLLING STOCK IN MARYLAND,
&c.-In the Superior Court on Saturday last,
before Judge Dobbin, in the case OF the
First National Bank Of Staunton Us the
Petersburg Railroad Company, suit having
been instituted to recover upon certain
promissory notes due by the Petersburg
Railroad Company, an attachment issued
was laid In the hands of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad Company as garnsbee.
Under this attachment the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad Company was sought to
be made liable for the value of certain cars,
and to relieve itself Of this liability and of
the responsibility and custody Of the cars
until the trial OF the cause petition was
Gled setting forth the reasons upon which
the company refused to be the custodian OF
the ears, and praying the court to pass an
order directing the sheriff to- levy upon and
take the said road into his custody. The
company in its petition claimed that the cars
were not liable to attachment upon the
ground that they were conveyed by certain
mortgages, duly executed and recorded in
the State of Virginia, to secure the bond
holders of the Petersburg railroad. The
trustees under the said mortgages also
claimed that The cars were not liable to
attachment. As the facts upon which
the liability of the cars to be attached at the
suit of the plaintiff were controverted the
court declined at this stage of the proceed
ing to decide this question, but after full
hearing and argument passed an order d.
recting the sheriff to take possession of the
said cars and any other cars of the said COM
pany that may hereafter come into the pos
session OF the Baltimore and Potomac Rail.
road Company prior to the rendition Of a
verdict or judgment in the case. The ques-
tions involved in the case are important as
determining how far the cars of railroad
companies incorporated by other States are
liable to attachment at the suit OF creditors,
or where the entire property, including the
rolling stock, has been mortgaged to secure
the bondholders, and these mortgages pave
been duly executed and recorded in the State
where the corporation was chartered and Is
domiciled, but have not been recorded in
Maryland. . The Petersburg Railroad Com
pany contests the case on principle, as under
chat a question of such Importance TO the
companies running their cars on through
lines may be judicially settled Baltimore
