New York has gained an important
point in the Tweed ring suits. James
Watson, the secret agent of the ring,
who had accumulated something like
81 600, 600 after the plan of Tammany
in New York and the Opposition in
Chicago, was thrown from his buggy
and killed in 1870. He had already
spent one-third OF his stealings, and
suit was brought against the estate to
recover what was left. Watson's wild
ow has now abandoned her defense in
the city's claim, and yielded UP prop
erty amounting TO $3.50, 600.

Carl Schurz, in his reply to Wendell

Carl Schurz, in his reply to Wendell
Phillips, says:
The difficulty with Mr.. Phillips is
that he speaks without thinking. Here
he complains that the banks do not ac-
commodate the whole mass of business
men with their fayors. and what rem
edy does be propose? a system of
greenbacks and inconvertible bonds.
Now, what in the name of common
sense does he mean? That the Gov
eminent, under his system, is TO dis
count the notes of business men, who
cannot get their notes discounted at
the bank, and to make time loans to
them, and TO buy and sell their bills of
exchange? Or does Mr.. Phillips think
if more greenbacks are issued a bust
ness man who at present does not get
all desired bank accommodation, viii
then only have to put q tub out of
doors i'll the evening. and rain of
greenbacks will pour down to fill il be-
fore morning? You see tho thing is
too childish to be discussed among Sc
rions men. 1t only shows that Mr.
Phillips has not the slightest concep-
ton of what the business of country
really is.

1.-TWO VIEWS OF The VOYAGE OF

heading, and 10 some respects, a we'll

The able and learned Editors of that
paper, which has, deservedly, an ex.
tensive circulation, not only through.
ont the United States and Great Brit
tain, but even in our little parish Of
Natchitocles, must surely have been
absent, when their l0cxm tenexs hand
ed in the above mentioned editorial
for publication. We must lemur to
the use of such slang terms as the
Why, the How, the When, aud the
Now, in the treatment Of such seri-
Gus, grave aud sublime subjects az
science and religion. To clothe them
in such yankee jargon, only tends to
make them ridiculous, and amounts
almost to impiety or dcsecration.
