" the Editor of the Commercial:
ln some of your issues, a year or more ago,
Won published au extract from Senator Baysrd's
speech in the Senate, in which, he stated that he
was not in favor OF universal education-o ut
least that WAS the substance Of the extract re-.
rerred to. 1t has been denied here that any
such speech was made or that you published
ANYTHING OF the kind. Will you please publish
the extract over again, or make answer TO this
IN yonr paper 30 that the point may be decided

The expressions Of Mr.. Bayard, to which OH
correspondent refers, were published in the
COMMERCIAL in October OF last year, and repub-
!lahed In our columns several times thereafter,
previous to the election. They are extracted
from speech OF Mr.. Bayard, III the Senate, on
February 18th, 1870, and will be found in the
Congregational Globe of that Session of Congress,
Part 2, page 1888. He was speaking on bill re.
,aIing to the reconstruction OF the State of Vir-
yiula, and referring to proposition to impose
certain conditions upon the State, including uni
sersal suffrage, and universal education, he
said
The result OF such dangerous proposition
-ould be this That If the experience of future
generations should discover that unlimited sur
frags Ii not benefit to the people Of a State;
that restricted suffrage is wieer, that your
system OF universal education is not the yaus-
ule system that you suppose 1t to be, as il may
eel be t.ey lco,iid that such a system. Of educa-
SION IS injudiciofis and unreasonable, operating
4,nfdrOrdty upon The mehla{ and moral hedlA,
" their people; and should desire with the light
u experience to reform and improve it. then
comes this condition arbitrarily imposed by
Congress upon that people,"

Penn obtained his American grant, and when he
first came to this country, he WAS in no wise
different from English Society Of the upper
class, either in dress or manner He was gen.
teman of tile time, and differed only from most
OF his court associates in the stand which he
took on the subject Of religious freedom
Out OF this protest grew, eventually,
the severity Of Friends in the matter Of plain
ness OF speech and dress, which was intended
al their testimony against the prevalent

not Quaker in this after-sense, and an attempt

PROPOSED RE-oRaAsATIoN OF THE NEW JERSEY
SOUTHERN AND ITs cosNEcTIoNs-wHAr Is TO BE
DONE WITH THE TWO DELAWARE ROADS.
new YORK, Nov. ca meeting will be held on
Tuesday to consider plan for the reorganlza-
ton of the New Jersey Southern Railroad and its
connections, including the two roads on the
Delaware Peninsna-the Smyrna and Delaware
Bay, and the Kent County railroads.. 1t is propos.
ed to fund all the bonded debt.with Its accrued
interest one half in new bonds, and one-half in
registered stock. The debt OF the two Penn
sula roads ii Smyrna and Delaware Bay, $292,-
600; Kent county, $500, 900. Adding in the ac-
crued interest there will be 515G,50 in new
bonds issued to the Smyrna & Delaware Bay
road and sl60, 500 TO the Kent County. The
total bonded debt of the whole line to New
York will be 50 015,500.
Mr.. John q. Stevens, engineer, has made an
examination OF these roads and has prepared
report From the Maryland and Delaware con-
nections Mr.. Stevens has great hopes. These
roads are in fair condition, and are doing good
local business which the proposed increased IA
cilities would greatly enlarge. A great deal of
Baltimore ffeight would be diverted to
New York, aud the present time to
Baltimore would be shortened one
half, which would increase travel greatly At
least $50 carloads Of peaches per annum could
hope to take any heavy freight business be-
tween New York and Baltimore from the pres.
ent routes, ON secount Of the necessity Of
flegnsnt handling, but large light trade III
fruit vegetables, feb, oysters aud express mat
tor can be diverted by running express trains,
with refrigerator cars, at high rate of speed.
Tie new line wonld also probably get the pas
senger travel between Baltimore and Cape

Mr.. stevens states that work to the amount OF

Bay road and advises the extension of Kent

Jewish Burial In New York.

On Thursday, the members of David Jeroslaw,
killed in duel in New York by his former part
ner, were inferred with Jewish rites. The blood
on the hands and face of the corpse was unwssh :
ed aud the hair was disheveled and matted with
blood. The clothing had been stripped from
the body by the coroner, who could not be found,
and although the jewish law required that the
clothing be left undsturbed the body was
buried in it's nude condition. Yes
terday the grave WAS opened and
the clothing put into the coffin. The Milaga
Jewish Society conducted the services, and when
all was in readiness Moses Weiss, acting as rab-
bi, raped upon the lid, and said; "Dayid Jeros-
law, David Jeroslaw You must forgive the
man who killed you and all your other enemies.
We will take charge Of your effects, and deliver
them to your wife and children" The Society

EMPHATIC DENIAL OF THE RUMohED INDICTMENTS
OF PROMINENT OFFICIALS.
Sp,eial telegram 10 the Nec York Times.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 5.-A dispatch from ~.
Louis to the Cincinnati Enquirer, sent ont from
Cincinnati by the Associated Press, was printed
here this morning, which states that several new
indictments of persons connected with the whs-
key frauds have been found by the Grand Jury.
Among the names mentioned are Gen.
Babcook, the Presidents Private Secre-
tary, and Orville Grant, the Presidents brother.
The Attorney General. the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Solicitor OF the Treasury have
no information OF these indictments. Attorney
General Pierrepont says he received informa-
tion OF the Indictment OF Mckee and McGrue,
and il sure il others had been found they would
also have been reported to him. Secretary Brs-
tow has no information Of such indictments, and
Solicitor Wilson says there is no ground what
ever for the report.
Special to tie Ne,o j ork Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.If such important in
dictments as those OF the Presidents brother
and the Presidents Secretary have been found, it
seems strange that no information Of the fact
should have reached Washington except
through the newspapers. The Attorney Gen
eral who is in constant telegrapbic communica.
ton with the st Louis officials, the Secretary OF
tile Treasury, and the Solicitor OF the Treasury,
both of whom. it would seem, should have
been informed, all say they know nothing OF the
matter, ard have heard nothing from st.
Louis regarding it. Both Secretary Bristow
and Commissioner Pratt say they do not be-
lieve the report but think it is sensation set
ahoat by the Ring, to break their fall. Solici.
tor Wilson, who probably is better informed OF
the secrets of the Whiskey Ring than anybody
else says the story is absurd, aud tnat he does
not believe word Of t. lie says he has never
heard the names OF Babcock and Oiyille Grant
mentioned IN connection with crooked whisky.
General Babcock himself appears TO be per
fectly tranquil in his mind, aud seems to care
very little for the report There are two opin-
ions regarding him. His friends express the
utmost confidence in him, and denounce the
story and his enemies believe all the i'll that il
said OF him.
