An Increase in Humanity.
Pug is Taken in for Cruelty.

For many months past, persons on the
streets have been amused by the quaint
antics of monkey and dog owned by a
nomadic Italian Snowman, who ekes out a
scanty subsistence by the few nlckles that
are dropped into his cup by the lockers on
after the performance is over.
By some means one of the ever-watchful
officers of the Cruelty Prevention Society
got wind of the affair, through an article III
the BULLETIN, stating that the patient dog
was compelled to carry the monkey around
on his back, "came down, like a wolf on
the fold" and bagyed dog, monkey aud all.
taking them to the First Precinct Station
and preferring charge against the owner
and the monkey for cruelty to animals.
OF course the general rule at the stations
is to search every prisoner that is brought
in. So the turnkey proceeded TO search the
monkey, and finding nothing on him but a
set of sharp teeth, concluded that he would
leave him for the Italian HIMSELF but no
sooner had he laid hands on the man than
Pug, deeming it his duty to defend his
master, made one jump at the keepers head
but just succeeded in capturing his hat,
which he threw away in utter contempt.
"Pug" had his blood up and was now on
the war path, and being thwarted in his at
tempt upon the keeper by the rapid exit OF
darkey who was standing by, who seeing
and approaching his situation, seized a
broom and noby defended himself for a
while, but the movements of Pug were too
quick for him, and taking advantage when
the monk was off his guard, made tracks up
the stairway near by, leaving Pug the victor
of the field.
When everything seemed TO be quiet, the
negro came down from his hiding place and
said:
II know dat kritter got my blood in he
veins, but l don't trust him no how. He
got more sense dan any niger | ever seen"
Peace being restored, the anti-cruelty man
came forward and made an additional charge
against Pug for assault and battery with
intent to commit murder. Accordingly the
monkey and master We're locked up, but the
monkey being possessed of sufficient sa-
gacity to make him an excellent ''pceler,
sent to friend and was released on bonds.
After his release, he expressed his inten-
tions, in case he was sent up for any time,
to make an immediate application tor
Executive clemency, and forthwith join the
party.
The case will come up this morning be-
fore Judge McArthur.- We understand that
Pug has secured the services of t. Morris
Chester to defend him.

The Eptscopal Convention

PHILADELPHIA, May 2O.-Bishop Stevens,
in his annual address to the Convention,
referred to the Reformed Episcopal Church
as follows:
"Since we last met in convention an event
has occurred which is unprecedented i'll the
history of onr church One of it's Bishops
has abandoned its communion and trans
ferred, as he declared, work and 0 flee, which
conservation he received from this church, to
another sphere. The other sphere has
proved to be the establishing of a Reform
Episcopal church.
"This untait hfulness to threefold VOWS OF
ordination this needless rending Of the
Church of Christ, he has crowned by an
act unparalleled in the annals of Christ's
Church, consecrating 10y his single self, law
fully deposed clergymen to the work and
office of Bishop.
vigorous efforts have been made, by
disaffected sect, to asperse the purity OF ouI
Church and SOW seeds of discomfort amidst
our clergy and laity.
with this object, falsehoods, misrepre-
sensations and perNersions have been re-
sorted to, through the press and pulpit, in
reference to our prayer-book, our policy
and our legislation in this diocese.
1t is satisfactory to learn only one clergy

movement would soon lose it's SAVIOR and PEI

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, May 20.-Twenty of
the missing have been dug from the ruins of
buildings and the sand. Twenty-Five, known
to be lost, are still in the debris.
The Committee of the Legislature find
that the specifications were not fulfilled by
the contractors, in the construction of the
reservoir
$4,000 have been contributed for the
relief of the victims.
SPRINGFIELD, May 20.-It appears that the
reser yoirs were required to be bnilt three
feet below grou ld. The contractors based
them on the surface, making calamity a
mere QUESTION of time. They (the contract
ors) will be hanged if caught.
The empty reservoirs expose the yillainy
practised by the contractors
The bodies found yesterday were nude and
much distgured. 1t will require week to
find all. Poor people, earning money by
searching for models and brass
Derricks are erected to lift safes from the
steams, most of which (safes) are intact and
were all locked at the early hour of the
flood.
The streams are being diverted from thier
natural channels to save the spoils Of the
food.

Another Pardon.

correspondent writes that the de tacto
is about to turn loose on the people of St.
Charles parish a man who has been the
terror of the people there for years, and
who was duly convicted of the murder Of
an unotfending citizen at Boutte Station.
The writer begs-and there IS something
almost plaintive in his letter-that GROWER
will endeavor to prevent so dire calamity
to the parish. We know perfectly well if
we should advocate anything under the
sun, Pitt would go against it, and we,
therefore, have considerable hesitancy
about saying anything for the sake Of the
good people Of St. Charles. We think,
however, that the BULLETIN has cured the
sick man of paldons. He becomes nausea
ted when the subject is mentioned.

Ob,treperous Moses.

CHARLESTON, May 20.-The statement
that Gov. Moses last night submitted to ar
rest turns out incorrect. He had concluded
to yield and had sent his carriage for an
officer empowered to make the arrest, but
at the last moment changed his mind and
again refused to be arrested. This morning
he obtained a warrant for the arrest of the
Orangeburg sheriff on the charge of attempt
ing illegally to arrest the Governor, but the
sheriff had left Columbia.
In Orangeburg, this morning, the State
Solicitor reported the Governors resistance
to arrest, and inquired what steps the Court
would take to enforce its authority. The
Court replied that, for the present, it did
not see its way clear to successfully fight
with the State militia, and that further
action would be held under adyisement

More Burglaries.

|
Circumstances would indicate that Ma
poleon Avenue on Monday night was the
recognized scene of operations by the
"pets," for, in addition to the entrance of
and burglary at the residence of Judge
Merrick's, previously recorded, there are
three others occurring on the same evening
reported.
First on the list is the robbery at the house
OF Mr.. Cormer, near Magazine street, which,
however, proved poor speculation, as the
visiting gentry had only settled on some
" small change" of no great amount, when,
as is supposed, they were frightened Oft
Mr.. Phillips was another one OF the ia
vOred, and DR.. Chambers also acknowledges
a visit, but in neither instance were they
received with the profitable hospitality they
so much appreciate. They retired without
having acquired anything.
o. Sunday night last the residence of Mr..
Forcheimer No. Cos Magazine street, was
entered by unknown parties, and, after
making all the preparations to carry OF
plumber, the thieves were frightened off.
The remains of a fire were found in the
parlor, and kindling wood, taken from the
back yard, was strewed over the floor. No
clue was left, and the burglars escaped.
Yesterday morning at 3 o'clock they paid
another visit to Mr.. Forcheimer's. That gen
tleman was just entering his gate when he
discovered two white men trying to open
the front door and negro in the yard. Be
ing unarmed, the gentleman blew police
whistle, and the thieves ran off. After a
while the police arrived, but failed to obtain
a clue. Doubtless our readers will recall
the fact that some years ago heavy safe
was carried out of Mr.. Forcheimer's, which
was found GU the New Basin.

The Growers Column.


From quite a number of correspondents
we receive notice that thorough organiza-
ton is going on in the Republican ranks.
From the first issue Of this paper until now,
we have advised that the people Of this
State, op posed to the present usrrpation,
should fall into line and present a solid
front.
Let the president of every ward club cal
meeting, let enrolling committees start out
to canvass the wards and let us have a per-

shall be placed in office. The time has
passed for Democrats to sit idly by when
their opponents are marshalled in disci-
plined phalanx.

The London (Eng) Telegraph in an elab
crate article on the condition Of Southern
finances, charges directly upon tho Admin
istraton the responsibility for condition
of things unexampled in the previous his
tory Of the States Of the late Confederacy.
The London journals hold that the white
citizens of the rebel States representing in
the most part the wealth, intelligence and
virtue of their respective communities
very properly object to government forced
upon them by impecnneous negroes and by
the selfish and mcrcenary white strangers
who employ them in political agitations for
their own larcenous ends. Nor is it surpris-
ing that European capital, alarmed for the
insecure tenure Of bonds held by no better
security than the good faith of such gov
ernmeIts, is pressing closely their payment
Under ordinary circumstances it is not likely
that foreign bondholders would care for the
delay, but ia the present aspect Of affairs it
is not improbable in their minds that the
present difficulties attending liquidation is
the forerunner of final population. While
making u due acknowledgment OF the pro
verbal honor of Southern Debtors they
have no faith in the financial integrity OF
carpet-bag governments.-,S. LoHis Repub.

A NEW RAILROAD FROM TEXAS TO ST.
LoUIS.-The Legislature Of Texas recently
incorporated the Orange and Bolivar Point
Railroad, IA new line which connects with
the ST. Lonis and Mexican Gulf Road and
Jasper Road at Sabine Pass and with the
New Orleans and Texas Road at Orange
The distance be ween st. Louis and Calves
ton by this route is shortened ninety miles.
1t also passes through the lumber region Of
Texas. and gives to that rapidly augment
ing trade market facilities, the want of
which has heretofore retarded very profit
able industry
In building the road but two watercourses
and the Neches River. The whole country
is level, aud lumber for ties is abundant and
cheap. The charter gives sixteen sections
to the mile, with the usual privileges.
A glance at the map of Texas will show
the great advantages which st. Louis will
derive from the completion OF this line. 1t
not only shortens her connections with
Central Texas but it opens to her mer-
chants new and profitable trade in cereals
that have heretofore been denied tire pri-
leyes of a market. 1t brings her in direct
communication with ne sugar growing
countries, and corn ID wheat districts of
unsurpassed fertility. 1t is not too much
to say that this connection will prove, in a
commercial point of view, invaluable to St.
Louis.
In case the road from New Orleans to
Houston is bnilt. this road will make the
distance from New Orleans to Houston and
from New Orleans to Galveston just the
same.-St. Louis Democrat.

REGENERATION IN TRADE.-There are
some features in the general monetary stu
alton which do not look as though business
was languishing. For instance, the loans
and discounts of the New York banks May
., 1874, were $3.50, 500, 500, against 5274,6S7,
900 May 10, 1873, showing that the banks
have supplied more capital to the merchants
and stock markets by Sll,515;70l thar
year ago. At the same time their deposits
were in round numbers 1913 500, 900 greater,
legal tenders Sl3,500,OO0 and specie 81 ,9OA
900 in excess of one year preceding. What
is true Of New York banks may be said of
the banks in other cities, for money has
long been plenty in all of them, and rates
low enough to invite its employment by
parties who have the requisite credit. This
is an Indication of return Of confidence,
and the employment of so much additional
capital must soon make itself felt IN tho
general business of the country if used IN
commercial circles, and we have the right
to assume that it is because of the dullness
of stock and gold speculation and the lower
prices which prevail on the Stock Exchange;
besides, there is not that transition from
floating from fixed capital now going Oh il
the construction of railroads that there was
year ago. Congress might have done
something to assist the recuperatiOn OF bus
mess to the effects of the panic, but we
have nothing to expect from that quarter,
and now, if it will do nothing to retard 1t,
the country will do very well, for 1t has
the recuperatve power in its energy, CAPT
tai, and intelligence, to overcome all obsta-
cles. bpt it is well not to make too much
haste in this matter.-CtH. Gasetts, 18th.

Here is the telegram :
The New York Times on Gov. Moses.

WASHINGTON. May 20.-The following is
an editorial from the New York Times:
1t is only because the courage of Gov.
Moses oozcd out of him with marvellous
rapidity that the recent scenes in Arkansas
are not to be repeated in South Carolina
Having been indicted for grand larceny,
Moses called out his militia to protect him
from arrest, but no sooner had his soldiers
been posted about the State House, than he
thought better of the matter, and surren-
dered himself to the sheriff.
1t will be seen that this was different
affair from that in Arkansas, and it was in
all respects more disgraceful.
Moses could not pretend that he was in
any way serving any public interest. He
was simply defying the laws he had sworn
to execute, in order toprotect his own person
from arrest.
1t is about time these Southern Governors,
actual and imaginary, ceased to disgrace the
country in the manner they have been doing
of late.
