II IL but fair II should now he said that
no evidence has thus far been adduoed TO show
that the rend rock explosion at Bergen Hill on
the night Of the 9th inst was piece OF revenge
pefpetrated by workngmen on the strike. Tho
accusation was freely made at the time of tho
explosion by those who had manufactured and
stored the explosive material, aud every means
has been taken 10 get Mt the facts from this
point OF view. But the accusers have failed to
support their charge, or to put any parties un-
der srrest on suspicion. This makes IL all the
more Imperative that the cause OF the rend rock

ANOTHER SSEcTIcUr cAyDIDAr1


TOT EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: The
readers OF THE SUN must be delighted with
reading In this days edition Of your paper the
lecture OF MIR. Isaac II. Bromley, in New ven.
1t is well that you have treated your vast num-
Der OF readers to such a sensible repast, In times
like these noted chiefly for fraud, false pretence,
and humbuR.
To me IL appears strange that man like Mr..
Bromley would not be selected for President,
but perhaps he is too intelligent and too honest
to suit our modern President makers. II he
would practice the ideas and expressions with
which his lecture sparkles, would rejoice at
having HIM IA President OF these demuralized
States for the next four years, or until such
time we would recover from the distress aud
disorder IN which We are Immersed.
Wherever there be designing men connecting
plans to procure the nom nation for President, or
for any other once In the gift Of the people, they
should be taught lesson In this Centennial
year that would be borne In MUD fur a century.
Yours, &C., A LABORER.

In the Common Council OH Thursday,
an elaborate legal opinion from Mr.. GEORGE
TICKNOR CURTIS was read regarding the right OF
the city CORPORATION to restrain the steamer
MARYLAND from transporting railroad cars, with
their passengers, from Mott Haven To the depot
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad In Jersey city. 1t
is maintsined that the corporation has the right
to restrain the MARYLAND from performing such
service unless allcense ferry boat Ia obtained
for her from the city according to law. As Mr..
CURTIS is one OF our most learned aud able law
yers. we make no question hls opinion Is sound
and N the ptopretors OF the Maryland are liable
10 a ferry license. they should certainly be made
to conform with the law. But the price Of the
required license should be fixed at such a rate
as to preclude the possibility OF an impression
gaining ground abroad that 1t Is the desire Of
the corporation to break up the transit Of rail-
road cars In the manner referred to, in order to
compel their passengers to pass through New
York. whether they will or no. There are minds
In the Common Council having just about
enough capacity to suppose that coercing the
Temporary presence 10 this city of a few hun
drcd Z ilroad travellers daily, would be bril-
liant exercise OF business enterprise. But, al
though such a capture of unhappy wayfarers
might add somewhat to the wealth OF hackmen
and hotel keepers, we assure our local authori-
ties that an attempt to disgrace New York by
any such petty act Of meanness would excite as
great Indignation among our own citizens as IL
would elsewhere arouse derision for our pro-
yincasm.

Some of the reporters at the Methodist

Some OF the reporters at the Methodist
General Conference appear to have done ANUS
tice to DR.. LASAHAN in their remarks upon the
discussion of a certain memorial relating to the
condition OF the ostern Book Concern. This
memorial was not written by DIR. LANAHAN, and
he had no knowledge Of its contents yet some
personal aspersions were cast upon him by a
delegate, who at the next session apologized
and retracted. The fact is that the work OF DIR.
LASAHAs in exposing the mismanage ment and
frauds OF the New YORK Book Concern was fully
appreciated by the last General Conference,
which, after u full investigation, approved of
what he had done; and now he is member OF
the General Conference and so are four Of his
counsel In the various trials to which he was
subjected. The vote OF censure In connection
with the Western Book Concern was passed
upon some unknown person, who was charged
with having ciandestinely published the me-
mortal about which the discussion arose.

II Is not well that any of our intelligent
newspaper editors should assail or ndicule
PETER COOPER for having received the green
back nomination for President. lie certainly
did not seek to be- made a candidate, and
he has refused to accept the domination. His
financial opinions are erroneous, but he holds
them sincerely and proolaims them courteously /;
and II does not seem TO us becoming to rail at
him in a heated way, or try to raise the laugh on
him In foolish fas hion on account of them.

A Remarkable Meeting,
[From the Boston Traveller. /

Seventeen years ago William Lester,
a poor carpenter, died at Boston. Three
OF his children were taken West by a
friend, and the fourth, little girl, was
placed in a Boston asylum. Last Sep
tember the only survivor Of the Western
members of the family came East in
search of his sister, having himself be-
come very wealthy. He found that the
girl had been adopted by John Wheeler,
dry goods merchant, but he had been
dead dozen years, and there was no
trace OF the girps Whereabouts since
Being discouraged, he started West
again, but on the train, q little way out
OF Boston, he noticed among pevy Of
girls who entered the cars one who re-
markably resembled his mother. He
left the train when they did, and found
that it was indeed his sister, who was
living with her poor adopted mother
She had never been told that she was
an adopted child, and 1t was long before
she realized her situation. The youn1
lady could not be prevailed upon to ac
company her brother West, but as shs
looks upon the luxuries with which lsh,
and her adopted mother have beef
surrounded by her brother, she enjoys
the pleasure Of real romance.

Mr.. FRANK MoULToN, as we learn, has
sued Mr.. Beecher for the modest sum Of
500, 900 damages for a malicious prosecu-
tiun in having him, Moulton, arrested on
q charge of LIBEL. The charge was SUBJ
sequently dismissed by the District At
torney; and now comes the civil suit for
damages. 1t is said that the old scau-
dal is to be reopened, and that Mrs. Til.
ton will now be made witness to prove
Beechers adultery. just how all that Is
to be brought about we don'texactly sea
inasmuch as the defense will consist in
"probable cause" for the arrest COM
planned of. And as to this matter there
can be very little doubt. However that
may be under Brooklyn law, the appear
ance of Mrs. Tilton on the witness stand
ill afford at least one sensational nov
city in this stale old scandal.

THE N. Y. Herald publishes couple
of columns of matter in relation to an
Interview with the notorious Colonel
Joyce in the Missouri State Prison. But
the whole matter as reported amounts
to very nearly nothing. Indeed the in

than the interviewed. With all his eff
forts the reporter found that he had
been pumping very dry well. Joyce
had nothing Of any consequence to say.
And nearly all he did say had reference
to some amazing book he is going to pub
lish setting forth his own life and ad.
ventures; also some poetry he composed
within the space OF twenty minutes
And yet the interview is put forth un'
der stunning headlines and sensational
clap-trap as though it signifed some.
thing. At all events, if Joyce knows
anything worth telling, he has not yet
told it.

GETTYSBURG.
Thrilling Battle Picture How the Battle Wa
Lost and Won.


Lost and Won.
Major Ben M. Piatt writes as follows
concerning the tug of war at Gettys-
burg:
Swinton, in his work, published in
1866, entitled s'The Army OF the Poto-
mac" although intending doubtless to
render full justice to every one who
made part of that gallant army, fails
in many instances even TO name officers
high In rank and renowned for daring
deeds who either fell on their country's
altar or yet live, wearing the proud
wreath accorded them by the hands OF
those who knew where to place it..
My attention at this time will be given
more particularly to the battle of Gettys-
burg, in which l took an humble part:
and although l may fall short of the
forcible and graphic style in which MIR.
Swinton's pen has done its work, yet
shall at least recall to the memory of
many persons still living some of the ex-
citing scenes of that terrible and deci-
sive conflict.
AS early as the morning Of the I'd day
Of July both armies, with perhaps a
corps on the Union side and a division
Oh the Southern side, had arrived at
Gettysburg, and there is little doubt as
TO the feeling of confidence entertained
among the Confederates as to the result
Of the coming Contest. They expected
signal victory, and from that forward
10 hold everything in their own hand.
1t is well known to any one at all fa-
miliar with the history of that battle
That General Siekles was ordered to
place his command on the left OF General
Hancock, on the same general line, which
would draw it along the prolongation OF
Cemetery Ridge, toward the Round Top.
The ground i'll front of this position be-
ing considerably depressed, General
Sickles took the responsibility of ad-
yancing bis line several hundred yards
in order to occupy the high ground be-
tween the one he had been ordered TO
lake aid the Emmettsburg road.
Tnis movement OF his, no doubt, had
much to do with subsequent results.
About O'Clock in the afternoon Long.
street, under cover OF powerful artll-
Jerry fire, commenced the attack-an at.
tack the most fearful and impetuous that
ever j. witnessed. The weight Of his
movement fell chiefly upon that portion
Of Siekles' corps which stretched back
from the Peach Orchard to the Ronnc
rop--that is, uron the bfigades Of d.
Trobriand and Ward.
