How Will TiItOn Get q Juryg

Unless Mr. Theodore Tilton exhausts
himself beforehand with the prepara-
ton of ingenious statements designed
to show that all mankind are the crea-
lures Of his magnanimity, there is
chance that the trial will come off, pro-
vided the prospect for heavy financial
returns looks favorable To that case
a pleasing subject of conjecture pre-
sents itself. Where, in the name of
all that is confused and confusing, is
the jury in this case to come from?
y here are to be found the twelve good
men and true who have not expressed
an ,'opinion," or formed an idea" or
received an " impression " Of this af-
fair? 1t would be difficult enough to
sift them out of the million and more
inhabitants Of New York, but how they
are to be found in Brooklyn, where this
unhealthy discussion has rackad every
tea-table to its foundation caster, and
set the household gods at war, passes
our comprehension, and we comprehend
a good deal. The only feasible device
is for the lawyers to get twelve men
who are deaf and dumb and blind, if
twelve such men exist; deaf and dumb
men will not do, for they have read it
all, and doubtless know it by heart; and
blind men will not do, fer they have
probably heard it read and talked it
over they are walking libaries of scan-
dal but men deaf and dumb and blind
are tolerably sure to have remained in
blissful ignorance of the whole Tragedy
of Errors. This would make an i'm
partial jury, and while it might be
little dificnlt for them to hear and
grasp the operations of the trial, they
could hardly be poorer jurymen than
many we have had, and hardly render
more absurd verdicts. While We are
on the subject, let US suggest that Mrs.
Morse ought to be retained in SOME
capacity on the side opposing Tilton-
A lady with such vigorous command
Of language and such evident sincerity
in pronouncing her opinions would
make a deep impression on even deaf
and dumb and blind jury. York

Child'stealing i'll England.

A London writer says: We have
had our own "Charley Ross" case. In
deed, such cases are not uncommon
here. The children stolen are general
ly very young, and they are almost al
ways the children of poor parents.
On the l4th of last month, nurse
girl 10 the employment of a family in
Isllpgton, went out with the two child
ren Of her master, Mr.. Watts. One
was little girl who could walk; the
other was male infant 8 months old.
who was wheeled in perambulator
The elder child ran away a short dis
tance; the servant, stupidity leaving
the infaut> IN. its perambulator, went
after the fugitive. On her return she
found the perambuator empty, and
she just caught glimpse Of woman
disappearing in the distance with the
child in her arms. Since then all
search for the child has been fruit!ess
although the parents have exhausted
all their small means III employing de-
tectives, and the "Society for Improv-
ing and Enforcing the Laws for the
Protection of women" has given its
aid To-day the unhappy parents ap-
peared before magistrate to ask him
to use his influence with the press to
obtain publicity for description of the
stolen child, and this was done; but
there is no reasonable prospect that
the infant will ever be discovered.
Why was it stolen? Some dark ro-
nance lies hidden in the affair. Per-
haps the stolen child is to be palmed
Oft upon some absent father in the
place of on@whose death it is necessary
to conceal perhaps it is to be sub
stituted for child of the other sex,
in order that some property may be
retained or some title preserved. The
stolen child may live to be peer of
the realm. This is strange world.
Every day the police reports tell us,
the bodies of infants, killed few deys
or hours after their birth, are found
In the canals, sewers and parks and
every little while a child whom its
parents prize is stolen from them
never to be restored. It is pity that
we are not permitted to have a found
ling asylum, where babies that are not
wanted could be taken in, and no ques-
tons asked; and where those who
needed babies could obtain them with
out stealing them.

A FORTUNATE ORPHAN.-In the
year 1866 the cholera made terrible
havoc in Belgium, and at Ghent it
swept away three generations in one
family, leaving only a little child. Flo

Grand records an interesting Incident
in connection with this child. His
father had been employed in the grain
market, and when the fact became
known, that his child was left desolate,
those employed there manifested great
interest in the little boy. whose dispo-
sition was such as to make every one
fond Of him His holidays were passed
among them, and he had a home In

Horrors Of the South African Gold
Diggings.

An English emigrant, writing from
Brisbane, gives sad picture of the
suffering of those who went out to the

undergo, and [ am one of the lucky
ones to escape as I have Hundreds
of poor fellows have lost their lives, and
what fearful deaths some of them have
had Some died from starvation some
were drowned, some were killed by
blacks and hundreds were carried Of:

CoTToN MANUFACTURES. .-BosToN,
September 25.-An adjourned meeting
of the cotton manufacturing interest
was held in Boston to-day, at which
about 100000 spindles were repre-
sented by personal attendance, and
many more by letter or by authority.
The object of the meeting was to hear
the report Of the committee previously
appointed on the subject of reducing
the productions Of the cotton-miIls one
third, in order to re establish the true
relation between the supply and de-
mand. The report says reduction of
production is imperatively required,
aud they recommend that the working
time be reduced to four days of ten hours
each per week, or such other time as
will reach the same result during three
months. The report was accepted;
also a proposition recommending the
cotton manufacturers of New England
to reduce their product from and after
October l, and inviting all manufac-
turers OF New England to meet again
in Boston on the 28th of October, in
order to take such further action as the
state of business men may then seem
to require.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., September %
The Manufacturers Committee had
full meeting to-day, and unanimously
agreed to reduction Of one-third in
the product of cotton fabrics for the
next three months. A strong delega-
tion was present from Fall River,
which adopted the views OF the Progi-
dence Committee. Facts were submit
ted, showing that the prices of most
cotton fabrics are below the actual cost
of production.

New ORLEANS, September 22.-No
new developments, and all is peaceful
in the city. Governor Kellogg is at
the head of affairs, and no disposition
is shown in any quarter to interfere
with him. The Metropolitan Police
are on duty, and all is serene
The Democratic politicians pretend
to be very indignant because Kellogg
and his friends decline to give them
the absolute control of the registry and
returning election boards throughout
the State. Kellogg generously pro-
posed to give them two out of the five
members of the boards, but they de-
mand three. This is rebel modesty
exemplifed. Reasonable men of both
parties think Kellogg and his friends
are very magnanimous in conceding to
their opponents two members of each
board of five, but Penn, Mari and Co.,
not satisfied with fat chunk of bread
demand the whole loaf
There will probably be no further
troubie-at least not before election
day in November. Some think that

HIGHwAYMEN HoT PREssED.-A
dispatch from the Hot Springs, Sept.
Fl, says:
One of the party in pursuit of the
stage robbers returned for reinforce
ments last night, reporting that the
pursuit became so hot that the robbers
took to the mountains, forty miles from
this place, where they were. Parties
who saw them just before they left the
road, say their horses were completely
used up, and could not go further.
The citizens Of the whole country have
joined in the pursuit, and when the
courier left, the robbers were surround
ed. A party of recruits left at mid
uight for the scene of action, and it is
probable that the party have all been
captured or killed by this time.
