established in Acapulco under the care q
Rev. H. H. Hutchinson. This mission
soon embraced sixty-eight members, mainly

If it should appear that there has

them, indeed, are said TO be among the most
influential officials Of the Third Republic.
There was a story, which is of course untrue,
that one OF them received twelve hundred thou
sand francs for floating around M. Philippart.
SO that II is possibly good business. M.
Philippart is chairman, president or manager
Of at least quarter of hundred public COM
panies, the most part of which has something
to do with the railways, and he aspires to sue
coed the late Mr.. Hudson as railway king of
Europe, just as Jay Gould would be railway
king of America His view of life at
the present moment seems to be that man
kind has an urgent want OF round
about means of communication between
St Etienne, in the Department of
the Loire, and some unknown place in
Belgium, which NJ Philippart will introduce
70 their notice at a future day. Persons (they
are not numerous) who desire to proceed by
tortuous methods from st. Etienne to unde-
cided points in Belgium have many opportu-
mites Of doing SO. They may 60 by way of
st. Petersburg or Naples. There is likewise q
direct means of going from st. Etienne to any
part of Belgium, and people of ordinary intel
ligence do not at once perceive the necessity
of other communications being offered to con-
fuse their choice. NJ Philippart, however, is
a great man, and he is quite clear that the
first thing now to be done under the sun is
to give the people of St. Etienne, whomsoever
they may be, an opportunity of going in
roundabout way to some locality in Flanders
or Brabant. So are the shareholders asso-
ciated with him in that promising under
taking.
In order to realize this and other projects
of equal magnifcence and utility NJ Philip
part has invested part of his fortune in eighty
thousand shares of popular institution and
obigingly caused himself to be named Presi-
dent OF the Credit Mobilier, which is the very
fortress and stronghold of French speculation,
whence has issued, full armed for conquest,
three-fourths of the terrible specuations OF late
years, including the Transatlantic Company
but one crook at present in the lot of M.
Philippart, but it is certainly not an awkward
one. Tue spirit and variety of his enterprises
have unaccountably caused the Versailles Par
lament to take fright, and they have hastily
voted the urgency of discussing law tend
ing to prevent strangers of property appoint
ing themselves presidents of French public
companies. Should this law take effect it
might materially interfere with the spirit and
enterprise of NJ PhilIppart, at least among
the French people; but it is said in whispers
that no law disagreeable to Nj. Philippart is
likely to pass, and that in the instance above
mentioned even the project Of a law which
might discomfort him has been referred to
committee OF fourteen members Of Pal lament,
eleven of whom are, we'll, perhaps it is most
polite to call them, satellites OF the new planet.
We shall watch the career of this French Jay
Gould with interest, and see how long our
Partisan friends will submit to domination
like that which Jay Gould has imposed upon
New York.

We publish to-day o record Of the real
molly and Mr.. Peter B. Sweeny ex-
Chamberlain and ex-President of the Park
Department, OF the city OF New York. We
make these publications as part Of the his
tory OF the transactions Of the democratic
leaders who were associated with the city gov
eminent in the days OF the old Ring, and not
with the intention Of implying that all the
purchases and sales recorded are Of an illeo1ti-
mate character. BY the side of the gigantic
operations of Tweed and the reckless sales and
transfers made by him In the latter part of
1871, when the corrupt practices of the Ring
had been exposed, the speculations of Messrs.
Connolly and Sweeny do not appear to have
been extraordinarily large. Still it seems that
Mr.. Sweeny between 1864 and 1871 invested
over one million and quarter dollars in real
estate, large portion of his purchases
having been made in association with
Mr.. Hugh Smith, an extensive and shresd
operator and real estate agent. 1t also appears
that Dir. Sweeny retains in his own hands and
in his own name all the property be bought
with the exception Of apparently bona tide
sales, almost all made prior to 1871. The only
important sale made by Mr.. Sweeny in that
year was the one-fith share in the Sixty
ninth and Seventeen street and Madison
and Fourth avenue block to Mr. Thomas
Murphy. AS over one million dollars worth
Of real estate now stands in Mr.. Sweeny's
name the city could have no difficulty in en-
forcing any claim it might have against the
property.
Although the purchases Of real estate by
ex-Comptroller Connolly appear to have been
SMALL SO far as they can be traced, he was
posscssed Of a considerable amount in 1871.
Between 1864 and is6s no operations ore found
recorded in his name. Between 1868 and
1871 his purchases are under two hundred
thousand dollars In the latter part Of tho
year 1871 and the commencement OF 1872 Mr.
Connolly sold all his property, the purchasers
having been mainly Mr.. Joel a. Fitbian, to
the amount OF two hundred and thirty thou
sand dollars; Mr. Robert G. Hutchings, sixty
thousand dollars; Mr. Thomas Murphy, forty
seven thousand Eve hundred dollars; Mr. W.
@. Wotmore, twenty eight thousand dollars,
besides other small buyers. The only proper
ty Mr.. Connolly transferred for nominal con-
siderations are one house On Thirty-eighth
street, near Sixth avenue, 70 daughter, for
sone dollar and love and affection, = and one
on the Same street, near Lexington avenue, to
bis son, for ten dollars. II Mr. Connolly
should be sued under the new law the legal
ity of the sales and transfers in 1S7l-72 will,
Of course, be contested.

his debtor for many pleasant hour, left
behind him large and interesting family
wholly unprovided for With characteristic
generosity his brother professionals have re-
solved to come to the rescue and save the

series Of performances will Be given on the
10Th Of this month at all the leading theatres,
with the object Of creating a fund for the
benefit Of the deceased minstrers family.
There can be little doubt that the public will
cooperate heartily in the work Of helping the
orphan children Of Dan Bryant The money
raised by these benefits VIII be placed in the
hands Of prominent fnanciers TO be invested
for the benefit Of the family, and we hope
that the sum realized will be worthy of a
generous and laige-heartcd city like New

MorPHrE AND Broken LEos.-There is no
great mystery in tho case OF the policeman
who died ia unusual circumstances on Thurs
day. Ills death was due directly to the con-
aition Of his brain--a condition analogous to
that found in the familiar malady OF opoplexy
but what it was that put his brain in that
condition IS not So evident It Is possible that
il was the morphine. His system was e.
hausted BY the shock and pain Of his injury,
and 10 that state the really small doses were
relatively large ones. But then, the condition
uay also have been natural sequence Of the
great irritation Of the original injury. Ex-
tensive or severe injuries Of the body or limbs
frequently cause death in precisely this way
and the official Of the Board Of Health who
said the Doctors statement Of the cause Of
death was "too thin, merely exhibited the
ignorance and vulgarity generally found in
organizations Of that sort
