The Case Of Captain Bancroft Gherardi.
The Navy Department has published, ss
Q general order, the proceedings of naval
general court martial, convened at the navy
yard at Mare leland, California, on the
thirty. first day of May. 1876, by order Of
the secretary of the Navy, before which
were srrsigned and tried bancroft Cher.
aTji, 8 captain in the United States navy,
upon the charge Of causing punishment
forbidden by law to be inflicted on persons
in the navy" which charge consists Of six
teen specifications, each setting forth one
individual case.
Nine Of these specifications are found
proved, snd of the charge the accused is
found guilty" The court sentences the
said Bancroft Gherardi to be suspended
from duty for two years, and to be publicly
repIimanded in general orders BY the hon
orable Secretary Of the Navy.
The Secretary OF the Navy reluctantly
approves the proceedings, finding and cen.
tancs, because he deems the sentence in
adequs+, to the crime proved.
In reprimanding Captain Gherardi, the
Secretary Of the Navy reminded him and
the service at large that no officer should
abuse his lawful authority, far less should
any officer set the example, as in this case,
of willfrl and deliberate violation of laws
enacted to prevent the intliotion Of cruel
and barbarous forms of punishment. No
commander of q naval vessel who thus Sc ts
the example OF misconduct can expect to
secure the respect or obedience of the OH.
GERS and men who are placed under his
command or the confidence Of the Navy De-
partment.

ceived with enthusiastic applause, as we'll
as that of William A. Wheeler which the
speaker said would rally to the support Of
the ticket not only every Republican but
all honest and patriotic Liberals and Inde-
pendents throughout the State.
Mr.. Cornell having written letter with
drawing from the candidacy, his friende

A Cure tor Obesity.

NJ. M. Griffith, NJ. D.. Of Wyoming, Della
ware, writes to the Baltimore american,
stating that infusion Of an species of sea-
weed. commonly known in Delaware as
''gulf-weed," possesses Q peculiar property
Of reducing sdipose tissue in the human
frame without injuring the stomach. No
care need be taken in regard to the amount
of the infusion the patient drinks. DR..
Griffith first noticed the effects Of it upon q
person who took it for the cure of q skin
disease, and found that it diminished his
excessive weight considerably. He then
took it himself, taking no other drinks, and
in the course of q few weeks his own cor
pulence had greatly subsided. He then
tried it on three stout neighbors, who lost
from twelve to thirty pounds within pc
RODS ranging from two to three months.
DR.. Griffith says that great care should be
taken in collecting the weed. It acts by
the absorption of the adipose tissue, and
lessons the secretions from the oily sudori-
ferrous glands.

Daniel Webstor's Plow.

In section E 20 of Agricultural Hall is an
age-cracked plow made, label says. in
1887, by Daniel Webster. 1t is exhibited by
the College of Agriculture, and is known
as the "Webster plow:" There 10 peculiar
interest in a relic to which the DemostheAes
Of America referred in saying: ''When
have hold of the handles Of my big plow,
with four yokes of oxen to pull it through,
and hear the roots crack and see the stumps
all 20 under the furrOw out of sight, and
observe the clean mellow surface Of plOwed
LAM, / feel more enthusiasm over my
achievement than comes from my en-
counters in public life at Washington" It
is, indeed, . "big plow," and Daniels
muscle must have been az big a. his brain
to manage it. Its extreme length is thir-
teen feet; length of beam, nine feet one
inch; length Of landslide, four feet two
inches; width Of mould-board, twenty
inches; width Of are, sixteen inches, and
length from poin6of share to farther point
Of mould board, five feet four inches The
mould-board, unlike that of more modern
plows. is formed Of over half dozen sepa-
rate pieces of ircn.-Philadelphia Times.

LONDON, August 23.-Reports from Alex

actual state Of affairs, as far as known, is az
follows:
The Turks from Gurgusovatz. under
Eyoub Pasha, and the army from Nisa, un-
der Ali Saib, have effected a junction, and
on Sunday were forr miles southwest of
Alexinatz.
Ali Saib's vanguard attacked the Servians
on Monday, and met with q reoulse. Since
that there had been no serious hghting down
to early Tuesday morning, and Alexinatz
had not then been attacked.
The Bucharest correspondent of the

sixty villages burned and $4,000 persons
killed by the Turks, does not include the
Outragee com nitted in the district north
of the Balkans, nor in the Sophia district.

not completed HE investigation, but esti-

district alone. The regular troops were
more cruel than the Bashi Bazouks. No
doubt the massacres were committed with
the sanction Of the authorities. Outrages
continue.
The Governor of Phillipolis wants cav.
airy to quell the Musselmans. Mr.. SCHUYLER
thinks there is immediate danger OF addi.

government the following measures: The

Tilden Comedies All.

Until after Mr.. Hendricks was put upon
the ticket with him, Mr.. Tilden never said
the resumption act was Q sham, snare and
9 delusion. When he says 80 now he sacri-
fees his hard money record to political
temptation. Mr.. Hendricks, on the other
hand, is perfectly true to his record. The re-
suit is that Tilden, on the questions of finance,
agrees neither with himself, with Hendricks
if he will agree with the people. The plat
form on which Mr.. Tilden stands is the re.
suit Of compromise, but it compromise
in which he has conceded all and Mr.. Hen.
drioks has conceded nothing. So France
compromised" with Germany in the late
war BY giving her Alsace and Lorraine, and
several mlllxrds beside and receiving in re.

Louisiana Democrats and the Colored
Voters.


How the Louisiana Democrats propose 70
deal with the colOred voters of that State
contributor to the New Orleans Picayune
too incautiously reveals. The gentle coer
cion prescribed by the Democratic State
Committee we have already described. II
is an attempt to combine intimidation with
a semblsnce of respect for the law, and we
shall watch it's operation with some curios-
ity. The Picayune's friend supplements it
with another kind of gentle pressure-of
course prefacing his plan with an injunc-
ton to do mo injustice in any event.
This plan, in brief. is to notify the colored
population who live by working for white
employers that their bread depends upon
their voting for the Democratic ticket.
"The experiment of reasoning with colored
men," We are told, "has been often tried and
as often failed" That is what the Demo.
Gratis in every Southern State declare Since
reasoning" fails, then, the negroes are to
be threatened with loss of employment
should they dare to act with the Repub-
lican "enemy." In that event, they are to he
branded as enemis of the employing class,
and are to be superseded by "a more reli-
able class Of laborers." We read the warn
ing literally. 1t shows how the Louisiana
Democrats interpret enfrsnchieement, and
in what sense they are prepared to respect
the rights of the oolored people.-Ne'c

Especial Correspondence of the Republican,
Republican Campaign Opened in ct. john
ST. JOHN TIE BAPTIST,
August 20, 1876.
In compliance with instructions from the
executive committee of this parish, reor-
ganizing the different wards, the first po-
itical key note was sounded yesterday in the
fourth and fifth wards, and, Judging from the
eagerness manifested, and the generous re-
sponse to the call, it may be safely stated
that the Republicans of st. John are fully
and substantially aroused to the importance
of the coming campaign and the task be-
fore them.
The good old-time feeling and harmony
of 1868 was never more substantially mani
tested, and particularly in the fifth ward.
wherein, since the defeat of Dennis Burrel
in 1870 by Henry Demas for the House, po-
litical pickering, strife and discord have
triumphantly prevailed, Burrel always
showing strength sufficient to maintain and
keep in existence a we'll organized row.
never enough, however, to have defeated
any one regular nominee of the party.
As the time for the opening of the cam
paign in this parish approached slight
manifestation of the "Burrep' discordant
element began to resuscitate and show signs
of life, first by sending three delegates to the
Hunsaker betting judicial convention IN St.
James On the seventh instant, at which was
enacted the farce OF nominating Judge 0.
]. Flsgg in opposition to Hon. N. Marks,
the regular nominee for district judge of
the Fourth Judicial District; but at the
fifth ward meeting yesterday Burrel fully
redeemed himself by making q clean
breast of it, "burying the Ratchet"
washing his hands from the political faint
of the last six years of his sinful resistance
to the Republican party, falling into line,
introduced and championed the resolutions
supporting Mr.. Marks for district judge,
bitterly denouncing boilers under all cir
cumstances, and particularly Judge o. J.
Flagg, now the only semblance Of political
discord existing in the Republican ranks OF
the Fourth Judicial District. The intro
duction OF these resolutions was prefaced
by one of the ablest speeches Mr.. Burrel
ever made, and putting at rest all fears be-
yond doubt of any further boilers or bolt
ing in this parish; advising his old refrac-
tory adherents to stand firmly by the Re-
publican party, referring to Mississippi and
Alabama as examples of what the Democ-
racy of Louisiana we're now preparing to
resort to in order to carry this State.
In the hurth ward the Same good feeling
prevailed. Resolutions indoreing Judge
Marks and bitterly denounciDg Judge
Flagg was adopted without discussion or
argument.
The reorganization of other wards will
follow IN rapid succession until St. John
will be on political footing unequaled in
Louisiana.
The Democrats held primary elections
throughout the parish yesterday for "a new
executive committee" We did not observe
any intelligent conservative colored ele-
ment with banners and torchlights in the

The Amount Of Silver Currency Issued.
At the close Of business yesterday in the
Treasury Department the reports as re.
ceived from the various sub-treasurers
showed the following facts with reference
issued since the passage Of the act author
izing the redemption Of fractional currency
in subsidiary coin, $l4,7s8, $50. OF this
amount e5,l95,Ol3 was paid out to meet
currency obligations. The total amount Of
silver change in the treasury, including the
amount held at the mints, and Of course
that of the sub-treasuries, according to the
latest reports, was $4,4l5,0l2. There has
been paid out at the Cincinnati sub-treas-
ury in silver $l,065,41, and had on
hand on the fifteenth instant $139, ,456 The
