versal famine prevailing in
Bengal are mistakes. It is
true that ever since the estab-.
lishmentof British rule in fiat
country, there has been great
destitution. This, he alleges,
is attributable to the enerva-
ting habits Of English civiliza-
ton. The native copies the
vices and ignores the virtues
of his conquerer. 1t is the ex
perience of all nations. The
Cloths and Vandals who over
ran Italy became enfeebled by
the vices they encountered,
and were in turn subdued by
the hardy virtues they scorpeydll
to initiate. There is. another
cause Of serious distress among
natives Of Bengal. The popn1
lation iniipfected with leprosy.
It. proceeds frpm climatic, in
tfuences and is augmented, by
thetsensuaism in which, Euro
pean vices has STEPPED the
countrg.i Yet, the average Of
deaths from exposure and
starvation is not greater in
lproportion to population than
in the streets of London. Al
together, the distress in India
is by no means SO great as we
have been led to believe. It is
| barely possible that the con-
dition Of the native is better in
every respect than that Of q
resident Of a more civilized
portion Of the British empire,

Sentence of Phelps.

ALBANY, Oct 90.
In the Phelps case to-day, Hadley of
counsel for prisoner, moved stay of judg-
ment which the court declined to grant.
Judge Westbrook proceeded to pass SEN
tencc and directed that the prisoner be con-
fined in the Albany ncntentiary for five
years upon each of the convictions, making
fifteen years in all. In passing sentence
Judges remarks to the prisoner were very
impressive. The prisoner was remandcd
to Jail, and will be taken thence immediate
ly to the pententiary. In the meantime,
his counsel, it is expected will take requi-
site steps to have the higher courts pass
upon the question whether the offense was
larceny, and other points of exception will
be taken to the ruling of Judge West
brook.

Last night +. T. Savage, cashier of the
Souhegan national bank, Milford, was
awakened byta number of masked men in
his room. They gagged him, put rope
around his neck, locked up his wife, four
children and servant, dragged him to the
bank and made him open the vault, which
they robbed of about $4,000 in currency.
$4,000 to 100000 in bonds, mostly gov
ernmcnts, owned by Robert p. Howison,
and some other securities They then led
him to the house, tied him to bedpost,
and left. The family forced open the
closet in which they were imprisoned and
gave the alarm, but no trace of the rob

Intimidating Voters.

New York, Oct. 90.
A Shreveport, La, dispatch to the Times
says there Is considerable excitement there,
owing TO a report that some sixty mer-
chants were to be arrested under the en-
forcement act, charged with intimidating
negro voters. The ground for the charge
appears to be an agreement signed by them
not to employ any negroes who shall, at
the ensuing election, vote the radical tick
ct. 1t is stated that if warrants are issued
the younger merchants will mount their
horses and take to the woods. United
States Commissioner Levize states that the
