Another Brooklyn Scandal
[Cor. Chicago Times.l

Thomas Kinsella, editor of the Eagle, is a
member of the Board Of Education of Brooklyn,
and has lately been mulcted in damages for
200 for seducing the wife OF Thomas Field,
Superintendent Of Public Instruction, and Kin
sella's protege. This is not news but the fact
that he has become involved with another school
marin is not yet fully made public. Miss Rachael
Mcguire was d compositor in the Eagle Office
where she set less type than che sat hours in the
Mrs. Kinsella, who went to the Office one day,
and, finding Miss Mcguire in Kinsella's room, I'M
dertook to give her her deserts but the battle is
not always to the righteously indignant. Miss
Mcguire, being stalwart Irish woman, gave
Mrs, Kinsella beating, and, in consequence, the
publishers dismissed her from the office. Miss
Mcguire thereupon fell back upon Mr.. kinsella
for support. As MIR. Kinsella had Mrs. Field and
others to take care of, he wearied of the hard
burden, and finally had Miss Mcguire appointed
a public school teacher She holds that position
now, and the ring to which kinsella belongs has
to sustain her and him, for the reason that, in
certain captured letters of his. the peccadilloes
of half the ring members are exposed

A dangerous Building.

AT the corner of Burgundy and Canal
streets there is now standing as veritable a
man trap as could well be desired. The
building is a brick one-story and attic and is
occupied as coffee-house. For the past four
months the outer walls have sprung and now
the front is fully three inches out of perpen-
dicular In order to keep the house from
falling down at once, braces have been placed
against the outside, the ends resting on the
sidewalk, impeding travel, and at the same
time not making the wall secure If some
thing is not done, and that quickly,' to this
oiapidated place we will surely have to
chronicle serious accident with loss of life
we call on the authorities to examine this
nuisance.

Last Call for Charlie Ross.
TFrom the Philadeldhia Press.1

| Still no tidings of the child Charlie Ross And
now that the hapless parents, the wealthy rela-
| tves, the sympathizing citizens the municipal
officials, and the keen-scented detectives, have
apparently exhausted their means Of reaching
the heartless wretches who snatched the little
one almost literally from its mothers arms, and
bore it away into hiding, the strong arm of the
Commonwealth is about to be stretched out in an
exceptionally powerful way to put an end to this
continuing CRIME against society and the human
heart.
To whom it may concern! Kidnappers and
their abettors! The Legislature of the great
State Of Pennsylvania is in the act Of passing
bill containing the severe penalties of fifteen
years Imprisonment and ten thousand dollars
fine, to be imposed upon each and every person
who sha continue to conceal, or have anv
knowledge Of the concealment Of this or anv
other child. In order, however, that the kidnap-
per or kidnappers, or those who abet them by re-
fusing to give information of the whereabouts of
the child may have little grace left them. the act
Of the Assembly will contain clause which will
free the guilty parties from the consequences of
their criminal conduct if they atone and make
restitution give information of the child within
thirty days from the time the bill passes.
You people need not lay the tiatterng JUNCTION
to your souls that this act is what the LAWYERS
call an ex post facto law for it will require no
fee to be paid to the best lawyer in the land to
give you the honest advice that the crime Of con
cealment is a continuing one, and will attach the
moment the act is passed, and be punishable
after thirty days have elapsed unless the child is
given up.

FROM PLAQUEMINE.
Bad Weather for Planting.
A Threatened Inundati0n.

| The following communication from a valued
in regard to the rising river and threatened in
undation which we specially commend to the at
tention of the Levee Company. The people want
to know what is going to be done about the
levees, and they would like the Levee Company
to rise and explain what the prospects are.
1t seems to about time for the company to
confess its inability to meet the requirements of
the act which created it, to throw up the sponge
and give way to some concern that can build
levees. We happen to know that leyees can be
built at less than one-half the price allowed the
Levee Company by the State, and the corporation
should understand that the time for inaction
and humbug has passed.
antlevees, and if the concern now engaged
in laying back at elegant leisure watching the
rising river cannot build them, let it say so, and
either the people will take hold themselves or the
General Government will make sufficient appro-
priations to prevent its hundreds Of thousands Of
African supporters from being drowned out The
white people are Of no consequence, OF course
but the immortal negro must be preserved for
1876 even if few whites are thereby saved from
inundation also
PLAoUEMINE, Feb. H. 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Continued bad weather and increasing hard
times is the burden Of our song in this section
The few days fair weather of last week enabled
the planters to set about planting their cane but
the rain of yesterday will stop them until next
week.
What planting has been done here shows the
ugly fact that the seed cane is seriously affected
with rot; particularly in stiff lands.
Our country is full Of game and sportsmen |
have their own fun. Woodcock have been sold |
on our streets at ten cents apiece, and fine ducks
at fifty cents pair.
The river has started to rise, and we may look |
for it to cover its banks before it again goes down
Many levees are unfinished, including Hickey's
crevasse and the big break at the ssWhite Castle |
place" below Bayou GouIa.
The work on THESE levees progresses and, we
hope, will be completed, but it is late to be build
ing such big works.
The compromise is the talk with US here, and
as we have understood it, meets with little or no
favor. To-day we hear some thing better is pro-
posed. We earnestly hope good will be effected,
but we have serious fears. The measure
seems fraught with danger on all sides, and
should be most carefully scrutnzed in all its
bearings, otherwise it may prove ''mess Of
pottage" at most. PELICAN.

THE METROPOLITAN WARRANTS.

1t is getting to be positively frightful. These
warrants have gone down, down, until holders
begin to think there is no bottom, and there is
squealing all over Carondelet street. Some say
that there is large ring backing up the injunc-
ton issued by Hawkins, and that this ring is
strongly fortified behind an abattis Of green
backs.
They, it is said, hold strong position so far as
influence and wealth are concerned, and the pros
poets are not at all bright for an improvement in
values. Unless these warrants are received for
licenses. before three days they will strike forty
cents, and at that price of course but little will be
done in them. The opposition are marshaling
their hosts for pitched battle against the in
junction. and they feel assured that their legal
position is secure, they propose making the tigh
strong one,

THE BOLDEST ROBBERY
OF THEM ALL.
They Were Not Afraid to Knock
an Old Man Down in His
Own House.

One Of the boldsst robberies was committed
Friday night about Sis o'clock that has for SOM
time ornamented the catalogue Of crime.
Friday evening at the above mentioned hour
Mr.. Richard Everard, an old gentleman of fifty
| seven years of age, who resides and keeps
grocery store at 46 Gasquet street. is in the
habit Of making up his daily account in the store
just before he retires, which is early in the even
| ing.
| While he was standing behind his counter at
| the usual hour, he suddenly became insensible.
and was not aware of having lost anything until
his wife came in, and seeing him leaning against
the wall in a stupor aroused him, when he saw
nothing but the band Of the packet-bo upon
the counter.
Mr.. Everard felt then a singing sensation just
below the left ear, and upon examination he
found that a large lump had been raised, which
is conclusive that he must have been struck by
sand bag or some other stunning instrument
used by the fraternity in question.
Mr.. Everard states that he was alone in the
store and that he neither saw nor heard any one
come in or go out, and that the thieves, as he
afterwards learned, were two and must have
sneaked IN behind the various barrels up to the
counter and then dealt him the blow which
stunned him. The loss sustained was sl6O in
United States currency, four school certificates
mot endorsed) for s75 each and one note at hand
for $780,
There is some clue as to the identity Of the
bold robbers, for some persons saw them running
down the street together, and describe them as
being young men Of the ages of eighteen and
twenty. One Of them is named Dan, as his pal
called him by that name as they rushed down the |
street with their ill-gotten treasure. Bold as
hese fellows were, they will be brought to grief |
ss their whereabouts is almost positively known |

MATT CARPENTER.

The ex-senator addressed an assemblage o.
his er-c5nstituents on the 4th inst, and IN
speaking Of the White League, used the fol
lowing language:
The famous telegram which Sheridan sent to
Washington, in which he styled these men as
bandtti, and suggested that il the Presla En-
care of it. was not Intended for the Secretary of
War. But on the day it was sent, the condition
Of things in New Orleans was such as to raise
thought such dispatch would cause the White
Leaguers to go home. The dispatch did not
suggest a remedy in strict conformity with the
law, but it suggested to those rascals that they
had better 60 home, and they "got."

pie of Wisconsin recently suggested" to

GRANT AND THE HERALD.

The New York Herald sticks with admire
BILE pertinacity and wonderful energy to tn
idea of convincing the President that b
ought to resign. If the Herald were in earnes
in its hope Of operating upon Grants mind
the extent of causing him to admit that b
had done those things which he ought not t
have DONE and to hand in his resignation,
would be simply amusing about as ridicu
lous as an attempt to eat soup with fork, o
to injure the epidermis Of rhinoceros will
paper pellets
The Herald, however, INDUCES no sucl
hope; it knows full well that the presen
Chief Magistrate belongs to that class of office
holders Of whom it is said few die and none
resign. What the Herald desires, no doubt,
is to call the attention of the country to the
fact that the President has been guilty OF acts
that warrant his impeachment, and that he
ought at least to be forced to vacate posi-
ton in which he has disgraced himself, dis
graced his party, and disgraced the country.
The Herald is, therefore, doing good SER
vice to the country in calling the attention Of
the whole people to the man, who, sitting
silent and grim in the White House, smoking
his inevitable cigar, is quietly plotting the
overthrow Of a government for which he en-
tertains the most profound contempt. Those
who fancy that this is an idle dream, that
Grant will never dare to make an attempt to
know the character Of the man.
What he dare do is best exemplifed by
what he has dared to do in the st-by what
he is doing even now. If the total overthrow
Of one State and the threatened seizure of
another be not evidence conclusive that the
President dare do aayhing violent and law
less, then actions mean nothing. The Herald
is right when it says, in an article reviewing
the message regarding Arkansas:
Grant has just as much legal authority to re-
instate the old Constitution of New York as he |
has to send an army to revive the dead and dis
carded Constitution Of Arkansas, after the people,
acting under the authority of the Legislature,
have established another.
This message Is a menace, which Congress. il
IT had any self-respect, would promptly resent.
1t should compel him to resign His resignation
OF the office OF the Presidency would give the
Republican party new life. 1t would destroy
schemes that make the country uneasy paralyze
business and retard national progress.
1t would leave the Presidency in the hands of
Mr.. Wilson, whose recent letter shows him to be
a sta tesman, knowing the people, in full sympa-
thy with the best ideas of the Republican party
and respecting the laws as well as the traditions
of the Constitution.
II the Presidents not amenabe to this advice
but continues to drive on and on, risking rebel
lion In the interest Of his ambition, then we can
not too soon prepare for struggle that will in
volve the safety and honor of this country.

having shown the Republican party in the

How They Look at Each Other.
From the Chicago Journal. I


There has been nothing as yet so tragic as the
contemplation Of Tilton by Beecher When his
enemy rose to take the vacant chair, Beecher was
whispering earnestly to Judge Potter. The cleo
trio shock which startled the audience violently
broke short that conversation. Looking up to
see the cause of it. Beecher found himself face to
face with Tilton. For a moment the fascination
stupefed him. He grew paler and paler, until
he was whittier than he will be when he is dead
The change from his usual redness to worse than
mortal pallor was indescribable. He looked as
if, with one huge gulp his heart had swallowed
every drop of blood in his BODY and then had
stopped His face wore an expression Of horror
as ii he were peering in looking glass and found
death grinning over his shoulder. The appari-
tion' of his accuser was a stupendous surprise,
and for an instant it petrified him. His recovery
was slow. The shock unnerved him, and he
could not escape Tilton's haunting eyes unless
he closed his own. Innocent or guilty, with
those relentless orbs blistering his heart any
man would have been in agony. Tilton did not
look at Beecher. He looked into him, as if his
body were nebulous, with one torturable spot in
the center, which 1.-The moon-freezing crystal" of
his sight could pierce like an internal pang.

passing away and that much remained to be
seen, the Vlceroy said: sNo, do not disturb me,
