The City Cemeteries.

The compliment paid to Mr.. Hoyt, Super
intendent of Burials, which appeared in the
Daily Journal Of the 9Th inst, was deserved.
| trust he will be authorized to make still far
Their improvements. Amongst them, as you
say, "a new front fence and gateway are
needed to this Mt. Vernon cemetery. 1t is
too bad to get along with the patchwork
which has disgraced the highway and the GEM
etery alike" | am informed that Mr.. Hoyt
has been instructed by the committee, to
'patch" up the old, rotten picket fence below
the main entrance, on the "do- 1.-The. pres
ent" policy and to construct a new one, where
there is none, above it. on the same street
line, of cheap spruce materials which are
most perishable and short lived AS citizen,
having some pride in the reputation of the
city, and becoming respect for the resting
places of our dead, | must protest against
this ephemeral mode Of doing things. 1t is
unworthy the place or the city government
which order it,
Mount Vernon is the most anc lent and
hallowed of our burial grounds. 1t is here
that our fathers and mothers, for generations
past, repose. BY far, it is the most populous
city of the dead BY the veneration due to
it, and a becoming respect for a numerous
subject should be spared to make it one of
the most beautiful and attractive places for
the living to visit.
Permanently and durability should be the rule
OF all Its improvements. Granite, marble,
free. stone and iron are, or should be the mate
rails Of all lis structures, viz, the tombs,
monuments, grave-stones and fences. Wood
is out of place here. 1t is too perishable.
Those grounds are inalienable. They can
never pass into other hands or be used for
different purposes. "Forever" is its title,
and forever should mark all the works upon
it. The fence, now needed,o on the Winthrop
st. line, should be of granite, material that
will last forever. There is enough of it with.
in nearly stones throw Of the cemetery, on
divers ledge, which may be moved to the
grounds with great facility on a downward
grade every yard of the distance. The
structure, therefore, could not be costly ard
IN the long run, would be the cheapest fence
that could be made. 1t should be well laid
in faced stone wall pointed and whitewashed.
Is it said the city is not able to make such
encef Then wait, and suspend all wooden
patchwork, till the city is shamed into the
ability to do what ought to be done. l am
afraid it is not SIS much the lack of ability, as it
is the want of disposition to make a suitable
fence and gateway on the premises in ques-
ton. "Where there's will, there's
way" DREUx.

MRS. HOOPER.

New York, :. The Brooklyn Eagle pub
fishes an interview with Henry c. Bowen,
who is represented as saying of the Beecher-
Tilton case,
This entire business has caused me much
pain. have had no hand in it, and do not
wish to have. The public will learn that the
attacks on me were brutal and uujustfiable,
although my name has been mixed up in this
scandal. have not made any charges against
anybody yet, and therefore have not been
invited by the committee to appear. II

Bowen allnded to the agitation shown by
Mrs. Hooper in Plymouth Church, as caused
by her belief in Beecher's immortality, and
but for the fact that she was restrained, she
would have announced it to the congrega-
ton"
Being asked if Beecher ever did him inju-

As to Tlton, Bowen said he did not care
which way it went with lin. "rhe end mu i
necessarily justify me before the public, and

saying something concerning my relations
with this scandal"

KENTUCKY.
The Election Riot.

Louisville, 7. The town OF Shepardsville,
Breliitt county, was scene of great excite
ment last Tuesday. 1t appears that on cleo
ton day the friends Of Carpenter, Republican
candidate for county judge, distributed whis-
key by the bucketful to the negroes at the
polls, and there was much drunkenness. A
difficulty arose between them and q white
man and large number of them pursued
him to the hotel, but he got out by the back
way and escaped The disorder continued the
next day, and in difficulty between the ne
groes and Frenchman he shot and killed the
ringleader of the drunken mob. The negroes
pursued him and he also took refuge in the
hotel. The negroes then surrounded it, and
with drawn pistols demanded his murder.
Meanwhile the white people'colected and a
bloody collision was imminent The negroes
finally dispersed. During Wednesday and
yesterday the whites from the surrounding
country have been coming into town. Great
fears are entertained of collision between
the whites and blacks.

Mrs. Hooper's Statement.

The Eagle publishes a somewhat detailed
account of Mrs. Hooper's connection with
the case. She was completely under the con-
troll of Mrs. Woodruff, whom she believed a
pure woman suffering for the cause of wo-
men. She wrote TO Beecher, who replied in
a kind and gentle manner. lie soon received
another letter declaring her Intention to come
to Brooklyn, obtain from him g public con-
fession of intimacy with Mrs. Tilton, and To
mount the pulpit at the regular Sunday ser
vice, after which Beecher should retire and
she should take his place and preach to Plym-
outh congregation. Under the advice of a
friend, who assured him that the letter was
the production of an insane woman, Beecher
wrote to Mrs. Hooper to meet him in New
York. They had a long conversation, he
treating her as child in error, and succeeded
In queting her. While Mrs. Hooper was in
New York Mr.. Titon confronted her with a
most positive and violent denial of the Wood
hull statement, warned her against her pro-
posed action, and threatened her if she per-
sisted in making public disturbance. Thes c
letters Of Mrs. Hooper were confded to Mr..
Moulton, and will probably appear in his
statement.
