Eight of the States have completed
their census returns for 1875, and from
a table published in the Chicago Tines,
it appears that, in spite of panics, con-
traction of the currency, grasshoppers
and other troubles, the average increase
in five years since the United States
census was taken has been about 10 per
cent. The following is the table Of the
Times:

King Rothschnd I.

la the Paris correspondence of the
Railway News of October 80, q London
paper, we find a very singular account
Of what is said to have obtained credence
on the Bourse OF Paris in An interview
between NJ. Leon Say and the French
House Of Rothschild. The interview is
declared to have been " strictly private"
but this has not prevented m~any-voiced
rumor from repeating infinitely what
most probably did not occur. The
Bourse report is that ut has been ar
ranged that NJ. Alphonse de Rothschild
is to 60 without delay TO Constantinople,
and, introduced by the ambassador Of
France, obtain an audience Of the Sui
tan, before whom he will lay certain pro-
posals. These are, 10 short, that the
great banking house, in concert with
other leading financial establishments,
will pay the repudiated fifty per
cent Of the Turkish debt on the security
Of large mortgages of Imperial domains
and the Vakouf property, some Of the
former known to contain rich mines,
which only require q small outlay Of
money TO produce more than sufficient
TO pay the new creditors Of Turkey their
capital and interest. So far the rnmored
arrangement is, if not highly probable,
at least one that seems not absolutely
impossible, but there is a rider attached
to il which borders on sbsurdity. II is q
revival Of the old story, embodied in a
pamphlet which had a wide circulation
some thirty years ago, bearing the title,
"Rothschild !, Roi des Juifs." The Turk.
ish Government is 10 give in feudal
tenure, the greater part Of Palestine,
with Jerusalem for q center, over to the
Rothschilds for q consideration. After
this remarkable on dit, what nextY'
may be a reasonable queryl-Erchange.

A Petroleum Combination.

New YORK, April 29.-It is stated
that from 1872, when the old South i'm
provement company was abolished, the
refiners who were instrumental in
forming the combination have been
endeavOring to effect an arrangement
which would enable them to control the
production and price Of petroleum.
Their efforts have been strenuous, and
they have succeeded in forming COM
bination which embraces ninety pei
cent. of the refiners in this country,
They expect to control the remaining
ten per cent. before the end Of the next
month, and it is then expected that the
new combination will go into effect. A
stock company has been organized, the
Standard oil company OF Cleveland and
New York city, the principal promoter
OF the South Improvement company, be-
ing the head and front Of the new COM
binatiOn.

Hank Ont for POISONED Salt

NEW YORK, April 29.-The British
ship Niagara arrived at this port from
Liverpool on the fourth instant, with q
cargo of salt, arsenic and other merchan-
die, principally chemicals. The salt
was slowed in the lower deck and the
arsenic in between decks. During the
voyage some OF the packages Of arsenic
were broken and their contents dis
tributed about decks. Upon the arrival
of the ship the cargo was discharged and
delivered to the cOnsignees, and the salt
was sold and most OF it sent out of the
city. Subsequently fears arose that
some of the arsenic might
have come in contact with the salt. To
ascertain whether this was fact, a pOI-
ton Of the salt was placed in the hands
of Professor Doremus for analysis. The
result showed unmistskable evidence of
arsenic in that portion Of the cargo, and
accordingly with immediate dispatch
the poisonous salt was ordered back to
the city for thorough examination, snd
destruction if found necessary.

IT HAS come to our knowledge from 8
very reliable source that Hon. J. NJ. Gal
lowsy is 10 error in regard to the state
ments made by him in reference to DR..
Morrow, State treasurer. That gentle
man has never used the money OF
moneys Of the State for private or spec
ulstive purposes, and has all his life,
tlough not what would be considered
wealthy, been far beyond any possible
necessity for so doing. He is conscien-
tiOus in the discharge OF every duty,
and justly prides himself upon an integ-
rity that cannot be asssiled. We trust
that in any future structures upon publi,,
officers Mr.. Galloway Will be more spe-
cihc, and furnish the public wit!l dates,

knights OF the Red Cross and knights
Of COnatRntiue.


NEW, ALBANY, IND, April 29.-The
difficulty between the two branches OF
the Masonic order in this State, known
as the Knights OF the Red Cross and
Knights of Constantine, and appendant
orders, mention of which was made in
these dispatches several days since, does
not appear to be at an end. The Ledger
Standard to-day publishes a letter from
IllustriOus Sir d. Burnham Tracy,
grand sovereign of Michigan, in which
he says that no restrictions are intended
where the grand imperial exists in law
a grand imperial council legally in
stalled has the right to prOmulgate the
order where no such grand bodies exist |;
that when a constitutional number have
received the degrees in a lawful Way,
the degrees being conferred on them,
they are entitled to charters, and when
five concIaves are duly formed they
have an undOubted right to form a grand
council where no such body is in exist
ence in the State. AS for the order be-
ing for the sole benefit of knights Tenn
plar, we all know that in England and
her dependencies this order Of knight
hOed is conferred on Master Masons in
good standing, and in several conclaves
in this country where the charters have
been obtained from England, they are
now couferring the degrees on Master
Masons; and he further remarks that

gsnized in New Albany for the State Of
Indiana is legal, lawful and regularly
constituted body, and is In relations Of

DESPERATE AFFAIR.

Intense Excl ement-Ths Dea-
perAdOes Arrested.

! WILKEsBARRE, PA, April 29-This
/ forenoon Constable Michael Casey went
( to Plymouth township to levy on goods
/ OF James COnnell. Being resisted, he
returned for assistance. Police Officer
Reibsenner went with him, and they
found that the whole Connell connection,
| comprising ten or dozen men, had as
sembled in one house and barricaded It.
AS the officers approached they were
fred upon, Reibsenner receiving
three balls. Constable Casey was also
shot. Reibsenner was brought to this
city, where he is dying. Casey is yet
in Plymouth, and In very critical con-
ditiOn. The news Of the affair created in
tense excitement here, and Sheriff Kirk
endall at once collected a posse armed
with rifles and went to the scene of
shooting. Two of the Connells were
arrested, and the other, it is thought,
cannot escape. The sheriff and posse
returned this evening with old man
COnnell and three more of his sons
Edward, Lawrence and Thomas. The
posse numbered about one hundred men,
GIi armed With carbines and muskets.
They surrounded the house and Deputy
Sheriff RhOads and Chief-of-Police
Nelly approached it and demanded the
surrender Of the Connells. They refused
and the old man threatened to
shoot any person who approached with
hostile intent. Two men were then
placed at the rear window to cover Con-
nell while an attempt was made to
break in the front door, which was heav- |
lily bsrricsded. Several volleys were
fired from inside while this was taking |
place but no one was hit. Everything |
being in readiness the door was battered |
down and portion Of the posse rushed |
in and OverpoweSed the Connells before |
any of them had time to fire,
except sthe father, and his shot |
did not take effect. They all |
fought desperately, but without avail,
and were finally hancuffed and brought
here. When the procession entered the
city the whole population were on the
streets, and the excitement was most in
tense. Lawrence and Edward who fred
the shots from the window which
struck officer Reibsenner, were held
for that cause, and the others,
in default Of five thousand dollars
bail each, were also sent to prison.
