During the year the Pattcn made twenty. nire
louad trips, carrying during that time 2 So
ll.20 tons Of coal, or 80 Ii 20 each trip. The
other steamers made from seven to sixteen

NOT GUILTY.

General Baocock has certainly had what
might be termed very narrow escape.
Yesterday morning there would not have
been a great deal given for his chances
Of escaping term in the pcnitentiary.
The betting was all decidedly against him,
and the splendid forensic eGec, made by
the government counsel, it was thought
would be certain to bring him to a severe
judgment. But the jury, after the proper
deliberation, returned verdict Of not
guilty, which may have been justified or
it may not have been, but that we must
leave to the consciences Of the jurymen,
who are supposed to weigh all evidence
carefully and then make their deductions.

E.G
colle2Br Coster's deputies, says the New,
York s'cun" closed an illicit stnl ut the
northwsss corner Of Tenth avenue and Ssv.
ent;eth street, on Friday evening last.
Twenty hogsheads of molasses and mash
and barrel of molssses were captured.
together with mash tub and worm hav-
ing capocity of three barrels of crooked
whisky a day. The officers estimated that
the Government had been defrauded Of 500
day, but were unable to say how long the
still had been in operation. The operators
escaped. Tho officers explanation Of their
escape Is that the still was in the top story
of a tenement, which could not be ap-
preached by any one unobserved. 1t is
said that larger number of Illicit stills ex-
let in and around the city Of New York
than there were in St. Louis and Milwaukee,
and that the frauds aggregate very large
sum. Several Of the places have been bro
ken up without mention being made of the
fact. One of the latest big seizures was a
sa|low. factory in Abbatoir place, at North
river and Thirty ninth street, which had
been changed to distillery. When discov-
cred the place was doing fourishing busi-
ness in crooked whisky.

THERE is no longer any reason to doubt
that the Carlst movement has finally come
to disastrous end. The fall Of Estella is
followed by an announcement of several
other important victories, which render fur
thcr resistance by the Carlists hopeless.
Don Carlos has disbanded the last pretense
of civil government which he maintained,
and the members of bis CASTLE junta have
fed across the Pyrenees, where they have
been ''in;erned" with large number Of
Cariist fugitives, by the French authorities.
This is practically the conclusion of long
war. The manifesto of the pretender, pro-
testing against the elections to the Cortes,
WIS published in April, 1872. A rising in
Guipuzcoa and several adjacent Northern
provinces took place at once; and Don Car
los himself crossed the frontier and appear
ed in the field about the 1st of May, 1872.
With many fluctuations, the war has con-
tinued without intermission ever since.
Don Carlos has once or twice been driven
into France, but occupying the mountainous
regions of the North, his cause has main
ta!nod itself with surprising teracity Of life
until now.

While attending a stylish party in Madi-

Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, Of the New

of Baltimore, but then and now Of New

slight build. She has brilliant black eyes
and dark waving hair, as we'll as pure
complexion, the envy Of half the society
bellies Of the city. She is just nineteen years
of age, aud has been out about year. She
is the daughter Of retired New York
banker and ncice Of Dr.. May, a Washing
ton physician. She is also connected by
family ties with The ociricte, Iivings5cus,
Houses, and tho De Peysters.
MIR. Bcnnctt, who has been engaged twice
before, once to the daughcr of an cz-Gover-
nor of New York State, and once to we'll
know Cuban society belle, had not known
Miss May many days before he succumbed
to lcr charms Of person, manner, and mind,
and became regularly engaged to her.
Mr.. Bennett recently ordered for his fan
Gee at TiGany's an elegant jewe! case filled

SUMMER STEAMBOAT ExcURsIONs

No other city in the world can offer to
it's tired and heated denizens such list
of summer steamboat excursions as we
publish to-day. In its faculties of access
to river and ocean waters, New York is
incomparabiy the champion city. Its
busy boats run daily with few excep-
tions) to about fifty points on the Hud-
son river, and eightv-fve on the East
river, the Sound and the Ocean. The
places thus easily reached are nearly all
objects Of interest. They are beautiful
beaches facing the open sea, or the
mouths of sparkling rivers flowing into
it or islands standing far out in the
main, some tree-sheltered and grassy,
others sandy, but all of them cool or
lovely lawns sloping down to the Sound,
Or tranquil valleys opening up to roman
tic heights in the back ground, or ter
raced banks crowned with handsome
summer houses, or SCIENCES of revolution
ary fame to which pilgrims may resort
to refresh their patriotism, or other
SCIENCES over which poet, novelist and
sketch h-writers have thrown immortal
charms. The routes to most of these re-
treatsl are highly picturesque-whethe
through the frowning Narrows to Long
Branch, Shrewsbury river and Rock
away, or the upper East river and
Throgg's Neck to Roslyn, Glen Cove,
New Rochelle, Norwalk and the other
lovely suburbs along the Sound, or under
the shadows of palisades mountains, and
between long stretches of exquisite gar
dens, on the North river, to Newburgh,
West Point. Catskin village, and Albany.
The number Of possible trips by boat
within short distances of New York is so
great that the tourist making his head
quarters here may occupy himself de-
lightfully whole summer, and still not
do half justice to the attractions COM
prised in our catalogue. Many of the
runs he could make between morning
and night, returning to New York to
sleep. And for good nights rest, we
would add, New York is as cool place
as any other within $50 miles of it in the
heated terms. 1t is this convenience for
making short trips, by rail as well as
boat, to and from New York, which
leads great number of visitors, par
ticularly those from Cuba and Mexico
and South America, to regard this city
as itself the principal Northern water
ing place, of which others are merely
branches and outlying posts.-JournaI Of
Commerce.

Modern Hiqhaoaymen.-The recent
daring robbery of a passenger train on
the Missouri Pacific railroad, near OF.
terville, Mo-, is one of similar nefari-
GUS transactions which are not only
becoming to common in the w est, but
makes unpleasant suggestion to the
restless ambition of the good>for-noth-
ings of the East. The organized but
unsuccessful effort on Friday night
by thirty tramps to capture freight
train in New Jersey is case In point.
In former times, in England. the stage
coach was often assailed by highway
men, aud the ''guard' became nessa-
ry appendage. 1t might be supposed
that railway train would never be
molested in this way, but experience
In this country has proved that it is as
easy to stop the steam coach and rifle
1T as the old passenger coach, 1t may
become necessary to place special
guards on railroad trains, or to make
police officers of all persons engaged
In operating them. Serious money
losses might be thus prevented.

Gen. Grant on Gov. Hayes, Letter.

He Thinks it an Instance of Very Bad Taste.
WAsHINaToN, July 14.-(N. Z. Tribune
speciaD.-The President one day last
week gave an audience to an Ohio pri-
vate citizen in no way connected with
public life, and voluntarily conyersed
very unrestrainedly with him upon the
public situation. Among other things,
the President criticised very severely
Mr.. Hayes letter. He said that he con-
sidered it in extremely bad taste. and
thought that it reflected upon the pres
ent Administration. The President far
ther said to the gentleman that he hoped
the time would come when the American
people would be permitted to elect
President for as long time as they
chose. The inference left upon this gen.
tleman's mind was very strong that the
President was grievously annoyed that
any consideration whatever had been
given to the question of the third
term. The Presidents entire manner
indicated complete dissatisfaction with
the political situation, and much per
sonal anger.
