The Republican convention of Pennsyl-
vania said nothing whatever in condemna-
ton of a third term 1t nominated Hart
ranft for the Presidency, which was an act
quite worthy of people who could praise
''the high character for integrity and eth
cheney of the State and National admins
tration.' But nobody, not even his NOM
inators dream that Hartranft Is ever to be
voted for as Grants successor. and not a
syllable did the convention say against
Grant succeeding himself The Republi-
can conventions of Kansas, Nevada, and
Nebraska have passed a very mild oppo-
sition resolution on the subject.
The Republican convention of South Car
olina has nominated Grant for third
term, and so, too, has one of the two con-
gressional conventions of Florida, and New
York and Pennsylvania, though besought
to put an end to patriotic solici.udes upon
this point, were dumb. The most that
ex- Governor Morgan, President of the
New York convention, dared to say, was
that General Grant would leave the White
House peaceablyi if out-voted. This is his
language, as reported in the Times.

there will be necessity of hurting him lsom pow
er for he has never lost an opportunity OF showing
his respect for the nations laws"
Governor Morgan is aware that there are
no laws to forbid President from re-
election for third term, which explains
his assurance that General Grant will 20
out quietly if VOTED. But that assur
auce is itself the admission that General
Grant is to be candidate and voted for
Senator Conkling's S speech contained as
implicit an admission of the thirdter
purpose; and the platform by silence con
fessed the inchoate crime against the un-
written law as the Republic,

step to the front and say he will bolt the
Republican ticket if Grant is the Republi
can nominee. " T. World.

A REMARKABLE MURDER.

A remarkable murder trial is now in pro-
gress in Toulouse, France, the result of which
is eagerly awaited ny the nobility, of whom
the victim was one. In October last, the
Baron Tombelle, gentleman of high social
position, and well known in Paris, paid a
visit to the chateau of AmpOuillac, in the
Department of the Haute Garonne, of which
he had just then come into possession by in
heritance. The chateau was at this time ill
charge Of mans servant called Mitron.
Soon after midnight the bell of the chateau
was sounded, and the servants succeeded in
forcing their way to the Baron's bedroom,
where they found the window curtains and
the bed curtains on fire. The body OF the
Baron was lying on the floor, surrounded by
flames, and between the legs of the corpse a
tve-bladed carpenters measure was found.
An examination resulted in the discovery
of two wOnds in the head, evidently intict-
ed with sharp instrument. Suspicion at
once fell upon the servant, Mitron, who con-
fessed that he was the assassin, and that
carpenter named Lasscre was his accoiti-
plice. On the evening of the tragedy he
let Lassere in by the outer door, and at his
request procured a Ratchet Both removed
their shoes and assembled the staircase The
Baron was seated by the table reading.
with his back turned toward the open door.
Lassere struck him a violent blow upon the
head, and the victim fell lteless upon the
floor. The keys were taken from his pocket,
and Mitron opened the desk. in which he
found 2000 francs in bills and ITO in gold.
After drinking some wine in the kitchen
and smoking by the river border the assas
sins returned to the house and surrounded
tho body with papers, which they set on
fire.

nese History.

The Pail Mall Gazette has the following
The value Of gymnastics as means OF
strengthening the body has loag been known
and a French professor Of gymnastics, Mr.
Paz, used to maintain, in the days before
the war, that the French army, by reason of
its gymnastic training, was the only valid
portion of the population 1t is reserved,
however, for Japanese to discover that one
particular kind OF gymnastics was servicea-
bic as a preservative against sea sickness.
In Japanese account of European manners
and customs, Of which translation was
lately read by Professor Severini before a
learned society at Florence. the author states
that swinging forms regular part of Eu-
rOpean boys education " in order that-hav-
ing to seek his fortune in distant Landslide
may not suffer from sea sickness" The for
eigners, "although good men of business and
excellent hOrsemen, neglect" according to
the Japanese writer, that philosophical
and literary culture so much esteemed by
our countrymen." Their habits of life, how
ever, are eminently respectable: indeed,
"they are as clean as the Japanese them
selves" Finally, jealousy is an unknown
passion among them, and so much affection
subsists between man ana wife that it is
quite common thing to sec European
married couple walking arm in arm"

Trouble in the Police Camp
Corporal Gottschalk Beaten and Shot
While in the Discharge Of
His Duty.
The Result Of Drinking and Gam
bling.

! Between the hours of and o'clock OF
the evening Of the 9th instant, while Cor
poral Gottschalk, commanding the Fifth Sui
Precinct. was coming into his station, hi
found the following policemen, c. J. OChip
mon, James OConners, and Capt. Martins
dell, playing cards and drinking liquor to
an excess.
Gottschalk demonstrated with the parties,
telling them that he could not allow gam
bling in the Station, when O'COnners rushed
upon Gottschalk, and taking his pistol away
attempted to shoot him, but the caps refused
to explode and foiled him in his murderous
attempt. He used the weapon as club,
with which he beat the corporal over the
head in a brutal manner.
Chapman during that time held Gottschalk
in such manner as to render him unable
to defend himself. Officer Smith, who was
present, was held in the tight embrace of
Martensdeil, so that he was unable to give
any assistance to the Corporal, who was
badly beaten.
The ruffians then let Gottschalk go; but
as the Corporal was about to mount his
horse, which was standing at the door, a
shot was fred by one of the parties, the ball
entering his hip and passing inwardly.
O'Conners at that moment, used the follow
ing expression, " Yes You son of D.
have had an old grudge against you for
long time, and now am going to kill yon.'
The three men are now in custody at the
Third Precinct Station. Corporal Colts
chalk is not dangerously, though severely,
injured. His report should have reached
US yesterday, but owing to the fact that
Officers Smith and MicOu were unable to
rive their statement. it was detained until
1870 this morning.

Money In Great Britain.

Mr. Ernest Seyd, London banker, writes
to the London Times to correct the est-
mates OF the United States Bureau of Sta
tistics as to the amount of money circulated
in the United Kingdom. His corrections
are two. He maintains that the gold coin
III use is much greater and the paper money
i'll circulation much smaller in amount than
has been stated. Instead of fS5,OOO, 900,
he claims that there is sum of at least
flO5,OO0,OOO in gold coin, and he further
estimates the silver and copper coinage at
tls,OOO,N instead of fl6.OOO,OOO. But
the bank issues were also greatly over
slated. BY the last return there was but
$500 600 of paper money in tho King
dom. The total active circulation is set
down as fl61 100000, which is almost
f2O,OOO,0OO greater than had been estma-
ted by cur Bureau of Statistics.

Billiards.
Sixth Night Of the Tournament.

Messrs. Louis Abrams and Charles S
Quade were the contestants in the three bal
French caroms last evening, at the Crescent
Hall Club Rooms, for the gold medal and
championship Of the State, in which Mr.
Quade acquitted himself with first honors
by vanquishing his opponent by a score OF
200 to 1913, in the sixty-frst inning. This
2ictory of Mr.. Quade's, over an old "stager'
like "Abe," is sufficient to vest him with con.
siderable pride, for he has but seldom APP
peared before an audience to display his bill
liardistic skill. The averages and runs OF
he players will be shown by the snbjoined

Mr.. Maggioli's play gave evidence that
his head is level on billiards, and that the

Yesterday morning, about five O'Clock,
about forty feet of the levee, just below
Bonnet Care, suddenly gave way, and the
water'rushed through the gap with fright

running back, at last accounts, as far as
From the first approach of danger in that
vicinity a skillful eng ineer and force Of men
were sent up by the Railroad Company. who
have been busily engaged watching the
levees and stopping such small breaks as
occurred from time to time, in which work
they consumed not only such lumber and
supplies as We're sent up by the Railroad
Company, but such lumber as was contained
in the residences and houses thereabout.
Yesterday Col. McComb dispatched to
Bonnet Care the steamer Garry Owen, laden
with q, 900 feet of lumber and large guam
| tity of nails, spikes, etc, which was used in
stopping threatened break just above the
present crevasse. To-day he forwarded, by
the Garry Owen and B. L. Hodge, 10000 feet
of lumber, 10000 gunny bags, a lot of other
supplies and 300 men. The steamer must
have reached her destination. last night. and

Doubt commenced at once.
Col. Samuel Hephern, who arrived in the
city ast.evening, says that the crevasse had
wdened to IS feet and that but little hopes
were entertained of its being closed. He
regards it as inevitable that large portion
OF the parishes of st. John and St. Charles

SO far, the only force employed on the
levees, from Kennerville to Bonuet Care,
has been that sent there by Col. McComb,

These men have worked faithfully and
well, while the members Of the Levee Com.
pany have remained in New Orleans, con
tenting themselves with reading the news
pader accounts of crevasses, and passing
resolutions to do things which have re-
manned ui.done.
We would suggest the time has arrived
for the Levee Company to be up and doing,
if they care to retain their charter, for the
people Of the State will, most assuredly,
object to paying taxes to the Company
when they look out upon submerged planta-
tions and desolated homes.
In a conference yesterday between Col
McComb and committee of the Levee
Board, the latter signiied their willingness
to take the necessary steps to close the Gre
vase, if the Colonel would advance them
the necessary funds to purchase material, etc.
The Colonel expressed a willingness to make
the necessary disbursements himself, pro-
vided they could give him a draft upon the
State. This was declined, however, and the
committee withdrew.
1t is just possible that Col. McComb had
dim recollection of various cash advances
and disbursements made for closing Gre
vases in II, for which he had never had
any return from the Levee Company.
