After these objects were obtained, Mr.
ThOmpson's attention was turned TO the COM
pletion of a direct line to Cincinnati from
Pittsburgh-essential to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to enable It to ger its
share of the southwest travel and freight.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, pre-
vious to the
FINANCIAL DISASTERS OF 1S57-JS
had edvanced means to secure this
object, but they proved INSULT
Gent and the affairs of the compsnies
fell into almost inextracable difficulties,
FROM which they have been released by the
application of means far in advance OF any
Anticipation formed upon the subject, in
consequence of the different character of the
country the road traverses and the uneX-
Pected high prices paid for work during its
construction. During the war Mr.. Thompson
was ever ready to aid the cause of the Union
His wise counsel and substantial assistance
were willingly rendered to the president,
In facilitating the prompt forwarding of
troops and i'm innumerable ways his
services were of vast benefit to the country
in time of peril. During the
later years of his presidency of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Mr.
Thompson occupied position of great pro.
minence, and was universally appreciated by
tbe entire community as one of the Ieadinp
railroad minds of the world. He was noted
Tor sagacty and foresight in all the great
plans OF the railroad company and possessed
great aptitude in the selection of proper
men TO NIL the various positions, from the
highest to the lowest, in the management of
the vast concerns of the great corporation of
which he was the head. To speak of the
benefits to the state, and the public generally.
resulting from his surmounting the Ale
ghenies without inclined planes-and the
safe and expeditions mode of transit afforded
by the success of his then gigantic plan, is
unnecessary, as the work shows for itself.
Though strictly railroad man-having de
voted his best energies and professional
skin to the perfecting of the railroad system
OF travelling during his whole life-he was
one OF the most successful financiers of the
country. Aside from successfully bringing
several stupendous corporations out of the
abyss of ruin, and enriching the stockhold-
ers even tar beyond their most sanpuine
hopes. he has amassed large fortune for
himself, which is most judiciously invested
and skillfully managed. Personally Mr..
Thompson was very popular. His address
was that OF refined, dignified, yet easy and
courteous gentleman-kind of heart and
liberal of hand. In business matters. how
ever, he was strict disciplinarian. As a
citizen he was highly respected and es-
teemed, and in his death, Philadelphia and
the country have lost one of their best and
greatest men.

that we could not long remain in this mys-

walls and floor of this chamber. especially
particular rocks therein contained were
mighty magnetic, and became more so the

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

BY the flow OF the inland river,
Whence the fleets OF iron have fed.
Where the blades OF the new grass culver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead.
Under the sod and The dew,
Waiting the Judgment day,
Under the one tine Blue.
Under the other the Gray.
These in the robing OF glory,
Those In the gloom OF defeat,
All with the battle field CORY,
In the dusk Of eternity meet,
Under the sod aud the dew,
Waning the judgment day,
Under the laural the Blue.
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The oesolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day.
Under the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray.
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun'rsys fall,
With touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day,
Broidered with gold the Blue,
Mellowed with gold the Gray
SO when the summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting he judgment day,
WET with the rain the Blue,
Wet with the rain the Gray
Sadly, hst not upbrstding,
The generous deed was done;
In the STERN of the years that are fading
No bro<er battle vas won.
U1der the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Under thehlossOms the Blue,
Under thegarland the Gray

Cheever VS.. Thorne.-This case cane up yester-
day before Judge Spaulding, in Marine Court,
Part II. The defendant is Mr.. Charles L. Thorne,
lessee and manager OF Niblo's Garden Theatre
The plaintiff claims that he IN conjunction with Mr.
Robert Johnston, produced the drama "The Two
Orphans" taking the groundwork thereof from the
HERALDS Paris Letter, which gave the plot ana
leading incidents OF play then newly produced in
Paris, entitled lies deuX OrphelnS." Alter the
usual negotiations, Mr.. Thorne agreed, the de-
1endant and MIR. Johnston accepting the terms, to
perform the piece with his company, and to pay
Tor the right to DO so $40 night. The piece was
the usual way, announced that on q certain night
''The Two Orphans" would be produced. In the
meantime, however. Mr.. Thorne was informed
that Shook and Palmer were the purchasers
OF the translation OF the original play, and that
they alone had the right to the title and to the
pay ITSELF. The plaintiffs, however, claimed that
their production was entirely localized and not
the original play, which they had never seen In
print or otherwise; that they had conceived and
written the play from the sketch given in the
letter OF the Paris correspondent Of the NEW
YORK HERALD, and that so from 1t being, as the
Shook and Palmer play was, mere copy or trans
laton OF the Paris piece, 1t was entirely their own

dilemma. AS ne testified, he must either disObey
the order OF the Court or tail to open his theatre

tiffS that this drama was their own work, he pro-
duced the piece for eight nights and 1t was Tor the
amount OF the contract for that time, at $40 q re-

CROSS DIVORCES.

Another singular divorce suit or rather two
suits, there being cross actions, has been pending
Tor some time IN the Courts. Mrs. Dietz sued her
husband in the Supreme Court for divorce on the
ground OF adultery. The husband promptly
brought similar suit against her IN the Superior
Court on like charge. Tie referee found
against both and the Superior Court refused
the husband decree. the wite's suit Is now
pending IN the Supreme Court. 1t was argued on
the part OF the husband, some days ago, that the
wile's suit was useless and vexatious proceed
ing, and that as the referees report was q record
that she had been guilty OF what was bar to a
decree, her complaint against the husband ought
to be stricken out, 1t belug clear the Courts would
not grant her absolute divorce. The wIfe's cOun-
sci argued that the referees report not to be
regarded as record evidence, and yesterday Judge
D0nohue gave his decision in the case, embodying
the same in the following Drie. opinion -

THE SWAMI EMBEZZLEMENT.

Some time since j. Swami was convicted at the
Special Sessions of embezzlement end sentenced
to the Pententiary for one year aud to pay fine
OF 5000. He was brought before Judge Westbrook
IN the Supreme Court. Chambers, on a writ OF
habeas corpus sued out by Colonel Fellows, his
counsel. The prisoner was foreman to Philetus
Dorlon Co., the Fulton Market oyster dealers,
and, as such entitled to collect bills for them. At
three O'Clock one day he collected $4,000 due
his employers, retained the same in his pocket,
was arrested at seven p. NJ. and the
money was found with him. His counsel
contended that the prisoner was the lawful custo-
dian OF the money, and not liable to arrest until
he MAI retained the money so long as to give evi.
dence oIintentiOn to cmbezzle. 1t was also argued
that the conviction was illegal, inasmuch as the
prisoner was never instructed that he had right
TO trial In the General Sessions. Upon this state
OF facts he insisted that the bail Of the prisoner
should be reduced pending the appeal taken by a
certiorar. Mr.. Dana, OF the District Attorneys
ONCE said IN opposition that he had been present
at the trial, and had been struck with the remark
able carefuness exercised by the justices in trying
this,case, and briefly recited the iacts going to
show that the defendant had been in the habit OF
embezzing his employers money, and had allen

had found him guilty. Judge Westbr0Ok took the
papers, rescrvng his decision.
