The scattering returns of the Constitutional
election in Ohio present no indication of the
result beyond the fact that the cities and large
towns seem to have given majorities for the
new Constitution. 1t is thought in Cincinnati,
however, that the Constitution has been re-

So much has been said of Mr. Henry C..
Bowen in relation to the Beecher Scandal, he
has had in reality such an intimate and neces-
sary connection with it, that. aside from the
importinent scandal in which his maligners
have INDUCED, his utterances on the subject
must seem of the first importance. Up to this
time he has preserved an unbroken silence,
only varied once by an indignant reputation
of a public interview which according to his
statement never took place. The article in
this weeks Independent is the first consider
able reference to the subject since the scandal
has been fragrant. 1t says very little, and Is
curiously non. committal both as to Beecher
and TiltOn, but in 50 far as any inclination is
manifested it is toward Mr.. Beecher's side.
Not so much because of what it contains, as
because of its origin, it will command universal
attention. and is therefore reproduced in full

The Pennsylvania Republican Convention
meets in Harrisburg to-day, and the ennis
saries of the Philadelphia King are promp.iy
on the ground to dictate the ticket for which
the rank and file of the party are to vote In
the approaching election. Our dispatches
state that the delegates are little concerned as
to principles, but have very strong prefer
ences as to men. This is not 80 surprising
when we read that the Convention is largely
composed of holders and their adher-
ents. With such men there is no BOND OF
union, and no incentive to work so strong as
the cohesive power of the public plunder.
We could wish for the Republicans OF Penn-
sylvania that their political destinies were
confided to better hands.
The report of the proceedings of the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science, which we give on another page
indicates that the convention settled down to
very steady work, undisturbed by the abund-
ant offers of excursions and visits which were
showered upon the members They have also
succeeded in healing what might almost be
denominated an intestine feud of long stand
ing, and by the adoption of new constitu-
ton have paved the way to an increase OF
their prestige and of the service which the
Association can render to the cause In which
it is engaged. The great variety of themes
handled at the session yesterday will furnish
to almost every thinking man some new light
upon the progress made in each department
of research, and there are few that Will fail
to find in our report something OF interest and
value.

The iocular designation of the Summer Cap
ital so often applied to Long Branch assumes
a more serious air when we are informed that
the President has not been to Washington
since the adjournment of Congress in June,
and will not return until October. The satel-
lites of the Executive Department therefore
revolve around Long Branch, where the
sessions of the Cabinet are now held.

The letter from Mr.. Bayard Taylor which
we publish to-day gives an account of the
reception Of the King of Denmark at the
Farce Islands. This narrative, which, like
everything from the pen of Mr. Taylor, is
entertaining in itself, has a peculiar interest
from its reference to the tragic death of the
Rurpomaster of Thorshavn the moment after
he had pronounced lospitable welcome to
his sovereign.

War Horses.

| These interesting animals, when hit in
BATTLE stop, trembe in every muscle, and
groan deeply, while their eyes shows deep
| establishment. During the battle of Water
loo some Of the horses, as they lay upon the
ground, having recovered from the first
agony of their wounds, fell to eating the
grass ab0nt them, thus surrounding them
selves with circle Of bare ground, the IL
mited extent of which showed their weak
ness. Others We're observed gnietely graz
ing ON the field, between the two hostile
lines, th cir riders having been shot Off their
| backs and the balls flying over their heads
and the tulLult behind, before, and around
them, caused no interruption to the usual
instinct of their nature.
1t was also observed that when a charge
Of cavalry went past near to any OF the
stray horses already mentioned, they would
set off, form themselves in the rear of their
mounted companions, and though without
riders, gallop strenuously along with the
rest, not stopping or tlinching when the
fatal shock with the enemy took place.
At the battle Of Kirk, i'll 1742, Major Mac
Donald having endorsed an English officer,
took possession of his horse, which was very
beautiful, and Immediately mounted it.
When the English cavalry fled, the horse
ran away with its captor, notwithstanding
all his efforts to restrain him; nor did he
stop until it was at the head of the regi-
ment of which, apparently, it's master was
the commander. The melancholy and at
the same time ludicrous figure which Mae
Donald presented when he thus saw himself
the victim of his ambition to possess a fine
horse, which ultimately cost him his life
upon the scatfold, may be easily conceived.

A Terrible Conspiracy Discovered.
from the INDIANAPOLIS Journal


shrewd political game is on foot in Ohio
to displace Mr.. Thurman from the United
States Senate, put George H. Pendleton in
his place and bring the latter forward for
the Presidency. 1t is hoped to accomplish
all this through the Constitutional ConJen-
ton now sitting at Cincinnati. The active
movers are, Of cOnrse, Democrats. Mr.. Thur
man was elected Senator last winter, but
his course on the currency question: in con-
nection with other matters, has made him
very unpopular with the Ohio Democracy,
who now propose. if possible, to lay him on
the shelf and put their old-time favorite,
Pendleton, in his place. The game is this ::
The Constitutional Convention is to provide
for the termination OF the General Assembly
and the election of a new Legislature under
the new Constitution.
The law provides that the United States
Senator must be elected by the last General
Assembly before the beginning Of his Con-
gressional term. Such an action as is on the
slate for the Constitutional Convention
would Of course vacate the election of Mr..
Thurman to the United States Senate, and
necessitate new election. Pendleton is to
be the new Senator, and, ii the course of
true love runs smooth, Democratic candidate
for the Presidency in 1876. The fact that
the latter gentleman recently entertained
all the members of the Constitutional Con-
V. ntiOn at his house, making himself ex-
ceedingly gracious and atfable, is thought to
have been step in the programme. The
game being opened, perhaps our Governor
Hendricks, who is not altogether devoid of
Presidential aspirations, may be inclined to
take small hand.

Of Independence, matured and substantially
decided on in the month of June, at Phila-

Fathers had been feeding. Jefferson rose,
no doubt, from his breakfast, to write that

Ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, has
been spending several months in the South
ern States for the purpose of recruiting his
health and is now .journeying through the
Western cities. At every turn he seems to
be beset with newspaper reporters, anxious
TO obtain his views Oh current events. At
st. Louis, a reporter Of the Times had a long
conversation with him, and obtained from
him some interesting observations on the
condition of the Southern States. He eX-
pressed himself as greatly distressed at the
lamentable situation in Louisiana and South
Carolina, and was convinced that, so soon as
the North became fully informed Of affairs
there, reaction would take place in favor
of those oppressed States. He told a re-
porter Of the Chicago Times that he was as
tonished at the marvellous growth of that
city, aud then, abiding again to the condi-
ton of the South, he said: Il don't know
what can he done for the South. It's life is
gone. 1t seems hopelessly ruined. One
sees little but wastes in the country, empty
habitations and stores in the cities, and hears
nothing but the refrain, Debts, debts, debts

The Danger Of Using Shot for Cleaning
Bottles.

Fordos has recently directed attention to
the dangers of lead poisoning where shot
are nsed for cleaning bottles that are to be
used for wine and other beverages. When
shot are placed in e ass Of water, carbon
ate of lead is at once formed, portion OF
it being noticed us Il precipitate in the
water, while another portion of it attaches
itself us a thin film to the sides of the YES
sci. The film adheres 50 firmly to the glass
that it cannot be removed by rinsing with
water alone, an acid being required to re-
move it. When shot arc used for cleaning
bottles, which are afterward well rinsed
out, the carbonate Of lead suspended in the
wafer will be removed, but that portion
which is attached to the sides of the bottle
remains, and is afterward dissolved by the
liquid placed in the bottle, if it possesses a
sufficient solvent power.
If the shot are only shaken up with water
for short time, it is scarcely possible for
the carbonate of lead to become attached to
the sides of the bottles, but oftentimes the
shot are left in the bottle with the water for
some time. Besides, the rinsing is not al
ways done so carefully as it should be, and
the carbonate of lead suspended in the water
is not all removed. Fordos took four halt
pint medicine glasses that had been cleaned
with shot, and in one he placed white wine,
in another red wine, in the third qninine
wine, and in the fourth vinegar. After
standing two days each was found to con-
tain a considerable quantity of lead.
Another danger might also arise from shot
getting lodged in the narrow creases at the
bottom of certain bottles, when the action
of an acid upon it would dissolve not only
the lead, but also the arsenic which is al
ways present in shot in sufficient quantity
to lender the liquid poisonous.
