Governor kellOgg,s Retnrn.

Governor Kellogg's short visit North, We
should judge from his appearance, has
added to his physical health and strength.
He is in good spirits, and is not without
hope of better day for Louisiana, although
Congress did fail to pass the Fort st. Philip
canal bill and provide for the rebuilding OF
our levees.
The Governor seems to think that the
hard times that are being experienced here
are not confined to Louisiana. Wherever
he went, and particularly in New York, he
heard complaints of dull times. This, he
thinks, may be the result of the change the
whole country is gradually undergoing in
the process of once more placing its cur
rency on specie basis.
While in New York the Governor
learned some good news in regard to the
New Or'ea 1s and Texas railroad. There is
company of capitalists there who stand
ready to buy this road whenever title
can be had, in which case they will com.
plete it as soon as possible. They are men
of large means, and having ascertained,
through correct information, that this Is
certain to be one Of the best paying roads
in the country, they have determined to
have it in running order at the earliest day

The Pardon Of Van Eetes.

The secret of the pardon of Louis NJ. Van
Eeten, which was announced exclusively in
the Herald of last Sunday, lies in certain
disclosures impaired by him to State Prison
Inspector Platt. The information said to
be in possession of the liberated forger will,
according to the representations of that
person, disclose the maodus Operandi by
which the State has been systematically
robbed to the extent of thousands of dol
lars by certain prison officials at Sing Sing,
who he alleges regularly employed carts to
carry away supplies and other goods to be
disposed of outside. os : .-.
Apart from all this, however, those who
know the character Of Van Eeten intimate.
ly, and who had ample opportunity of wit.
Messing his department while in prison,
express the firm belief that his pretended
knowledge Of the matter has been a clever
ly conducted ruse ON his part to obtain a
pardon; and that, ere long, it will be
demonstrated that be has succeeded in
completely hoodwinking Inspector Platt,
e well as the pardoning power at Albany.
While the systemized frauds have, in all
probability. been perpetrated to an as
founding extent. il 10 doubted that the
guilty parties would have admitted Van
Eeten to their confidence. The value Of
his information must, of course, depend
upon, the eorrobeEstiop which facts viii
bring to his aid.-Ne,r York Rerah.

The Bu.Ie tin Hilarious.

The courtmartial of Lieutenant Colonel
Detiege has caused the Bulletin to put its
foot in it second time. Instead of resting
tranquil on it's successful misconception Of
every point in the case the day previous, it
does it again. Perhaps General Longstreet
gave the information that a courtmartiai
existed, but the Bulletin did not have one
fact correctly stated. This pleasant exhibi-
ton of cheerful modesty concludes the
Bulletins paragraph:
The genius required to discover the
amount Of facts the reporters of the Bulletin
unearth is called, nowadays, energy. We
pardon the REPUBLICANS mistake, and
ascribe it to the fact that it felt little
piqued that the Bulletin got q little ahead
Of il.
No wonder that, having it's ''facts" in
such q mixed condition, the inference Of the
Bulletin that it is "a little ahead" is equally
baselsss. It is rather cruel to destroy so
charming piece of conceit, especially when
it makes one go happy. But it the Bulletin
will take the trouble to consult the REPUB-
LICAN of June 3, just one month ago, it will
find under the head of "A Summer Sensa-
ton" all about the courtmartial, a list of it's
members. q statement Of the charges against
Colonel Detiege, and some information be.

A Steel Yacht Which Makes Twenty.One
Miles an Hour.

A new steam yacht named the Aerolite,
intended for use in European waters, was
launched from Neahe & Levys shipyard,
Philadelphia, on Saturday morning: The
vessel was built by the above named firm
from plans prepared by Mr. George II. Rey-
nolds, marine engineer, OF New YORK city.
The hull is seventy five feet long, breadth
of beam eight and One-half feet, depth of
hold five feet. The shell is constructed of
Pennsylvania steel, one-sixteenth Of an inch
in thickness. angle frame one-quarter BY
one-half inch thick. all steel and double
riveted. The motive power consists OF q
locomotive boiler, forty eight inches diane
ter built of steel, and tested for 200 pounds
to the square inch. The engine is Of TRAN
gular pattern, two cylinders Of ten inches
each, and ten-inch stroke. The screw ls
four feet in diameter, seven feet pitch, and
makes 260 revolutions per minute.
The yacht started on her trial trip at r.
NJ. and proceeded down the river as far as
League island. The steam tug Utah, OF the
Clyde line, was provided for by the rep
resentatives of the newspaper press and
followed the new vessel on her course. The
time made by the yacht was estimated at
twenty.One miles per hour. She is pro-
nounced by scientific engineers to be the
fastest known boat Of her size in the world.
Opposite the navyyard the diminutive YES
sci had race with the steamboat Reybold,
beating her in short time and sailing
round her bow. The steamship Vanderbilt,
just starting for Antwerp, was also passed
on the way, and the little steamer received
considerable attention and cheering from
the outward bound passengers and officers
OF the ship. Several boats on the river
blew challenge whistles TO the small craft
to all of which she responded, easily beat
ing them all The Aerolite will be for
warded by steamer TO Canada and thence
10 her destination, which is not at present
definitely stated.-Boston Globe.

Ire controller of currency has written
the following letter, giving his construction
OF the new currency act in reference to the
reserve required to be held by the national
banks: =
SIR have received your letter Of the
twenty-fourth instant. NV construction of
the act of june 20, 1874, in reference to the
reserves of the national banks, is that the
reserve upon circulation is abolis he'd, but
that the national banks are required to
keep reserve upon deposits, as provided

national bank act, certain proportion of
which must be kept on hand and a certain
other proportion with their reserve agents
in the cities enumerated in the section re-
ferred TO. The banks are also required to
keep an amount equal to five per cent of
their circulation on deposit with the Treas
urer of the United States, which amount
may be deducted from the aggregate
amount of the reserve required to be kept
upon the deposits.
Very respectfully,

Eads' Bridge as an Incentive to suicide.
The great bridge is destined to be prom
inent resort for the melancholy, as well as
the festive and gay pleasure seekers, who
daily throng its causeways-the som bre
and sOrrow.stricken, weary Of life, Its tolls
and perplexities, will often make it the
passway to the impenetrable hereafter. In
this respect it will in all probability sur
pass the Metropolitan, at London, or the
RialtO, at Venice, places noted for the num-
Der of suicides committed in leaping from
the colossal arches, of which they are con-
stituted.
Only two weeks have passed since the
Illinois and St. Louis bridge was opened to
the public, and two suicides have been COM
mitted; one the unfortunate Wall, the
other, committed last night, name unknown.
The unfortunate young man who last night
concluded to leave the ills Of this world and
fly to those he knows not of, from informa;
ton obtained by our reporter, is supposed
to be young Frenchman. who arrived in
this city few days ago from New Orleans,
q comedian by occupation, and for some
time an attache Of one Of the many operatic
troupes now traversing the country. A man
answering his description visited the Apollo
Theatre about P. NJ. yesterday, seeking
employment as musician.
lie said he had given concerts in Europe
db dll tDO joS0Aon0oA0 ASccA ISs
Baden Baden and Spa in Germany; Cha
mounix, in Switzerland, and other Euro
pean cities, and for some time had been
connected with the opera OF New Orleans.
He alec stated further that he was in in
digent circumstances and would esteem it
favor should the proprietor give him
something to do. He was informed that
there was no opening for him. and that
times we're dull and the supply OF musicians
exceeded the demand.
He seemed very much depressed when
informed there was 10 chance for him, and
remarked TO some parties present that he was
tried Of the world, and intended to leave II.
This was the last seen OF him, and from the
description of the man who leaped from the
bridge last night, the 1nen connected with
the Apollo Garden, feel confident that the
applicant for position as musician and the
suicide are identical persons.-St. Louis

The Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe says: ---..- .


The Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe says:
The State Department has contracted
with Thomas j. Durant and Judge James
one of the late codifying commission, to
edit. snnotate and arrange for the pablica-
ton of the new code, under terms of law
passed by the late session. The department
was to arrange with competent persons to
do this work, causing the same to be printed
at the government Office, and, after supply
ing official copies needed, to sell, at ten per
cent advance on cost, to all who may apply.
The legal profession will be largely favored
by this course.
Among the diplomatic changes author
lied by recent legislation is thas abolishing,
by. the Turkish Empire, the judicial func-
their courts and all imposition known as
international jurisdiction. The Khedive OF
Egypt, in which this jurisdiction was most
marked, has provided for the organisation
of a court where all cases between foreign
ers and natives are to be tried, the judges
of which are to be the Franks. The gov
ernments of Great Britain, France and the
United States are to designate judges, and
the Khedive commissions them. Their sal
aries are to be $4,000, and, under the
treaty, their rank will be next to the Khe-
dive and his family. F vi.
The President mas designated General
Barringer. OF North Carolina, en- ex-Con-
federate General, but a Republican for
wears, who was member of the cOGifying
commission, as our judicial representative.
Great satisfaction is felt here by all par
ties at the announcement made this eve
ming that Messrs. Denison, Blow and Cat
tell have accepted the District Commission
ership. Mr.. Blow is expected to-morrO ".
The others are here. Their presence is
rendered necessary by need of meeting the
july interest on District securities. The
appropriation made for that purpose can
| only be drawn by them.
These gentlemen will be approached in
many ways by those interested in the ring.
Congress, in appropriating $1,000, 900,
| clearly indicated that it was to pay the
first Of July interest; next, district em.
ployes, school teachers, etc. Then the
| amount of $4,000 to be afterward taken
| from contractors to pay labOrers employed
by such persons; after that loans made to
| the district are to be paid. The effort will
undoub.edly be made to secure the latter
| payments first, to the ring banks when
leans are paid. The Freedmen's Bank il
| the first that should be satisfied.
| Another point will be in keeping with
| special ring officials. There ought to be g
| general Overhaullng.
| General Bristow's attention is at present
wholly directed to securing efficiency in his
department.. The new chiet clerk, DR.
Avery, was transferred from the revenue
bureau. where he was appointed clerk. HI
is an efficient officer, kind and courteous tt
all. The assistant secretary is to be sc
lected from the staff. The Secretary doe
not appear Disconnected at the reduction o
his force. He has got sufficient control t
know that this can be done without impair
ing the departments efficiency.
