"new countries for to see.u The en-
tire proceeding is singular to say the
least of it, and if we should give
guess as to the motive which prompts
these actions, it would be that it is in-
tended to drive LEDYARD into exile,
and then hold him up as the party
who has done all the mischief. By
this procedure, other parties who are
as deep in the mud as the Cashier is
in the mire, will have freed them
selves of an accomplice, or partner
who might tell more than they wish
to have known, and be enabled to say
to the defrauded creditors, cit was not

A DAY or two ago we published a
dispatch from San Bernardino which
read as though the MCFARLAND Bros.
had stolen some bullion and were
about to be captured. The truth is
that the MCFARLAND Bros. are among
the most respectable citizens of San
Bernardino county and it was fro N
them the bullion was stolen. We
published the dispatch just as receiv-
ed but in justice to the worthy gen.
tlemen whose good name could suffer
only where they are unknown, by the
transposed words of the item, we make
this explanation and trust those of our
contemporaries who have given pub
licity to the error will also make cor
rection..

Construct a Fire Alarm Telegraph.

The recent fires in this city suggest
the necessity of more speedy way of
announcing the alarm of fire. In
most cases from ten to fifteen minutes
are lost in reaching the engine house
and giving the alarm, during which
time the fire is so far advanced that
nothing can be saved. The engines
are of no use except to prevent the
spread of the fire. A system of tele-
graph can be established at very low
cost, as follows: wire per mile at $40 !;
25 posts per mile at $3.50 cash, set up I;
insulators per mile $3; labor about
$50 per mile; the total cost per mile
to set up reaches Sl2O; one battery
$50. Construct one line to reach the
end of Sixth street at Pearl street.
One line down Main street towards
CHILDs. One line through upper Main
street. In each case follow the most
densely settled line. About four miles

That Mia SWEET personally informed hin
that she would pay the money, and offered
her personal obligation therefor. He e1plc
lily denies that he was aware of, or was in
any way party to, the arrangement, which
it now appears was made by B1AKnY, that
this money Was to be paid as part Of the con-
aderation for her receiving the Office of Pen
sion Agent. II, as A1r. CAMpBE1h avers, he
was not party to the disg1aeeful black
mail contract made by B1AKEnx with Miss
SWEET, further than that ha was to receive
from B1AEEhx through her certain sums Of
money to be applied to the payment Of
B1AKEIT's note, and that he was not aware
of the consideration, then we do not see how
Mr: CAMPBELL is to be held culpab1e in the
matter. BLAKELY had removed from Chicago,
leaving Miss SWEET as his business agent.
Marshal CAMPBELL, however, has put himself
right in the matter by waving all legal right
and claim to the money by inclosing to Miss
SWEET his check for the whole sum received
by him from B1AKEbY through her, and she
accepts the money aud gratefully acquits
Aarahd CAMPBELL of all injustice, or oppres-
sion, or unkindness on his part B1AKE1Y's

The testimony was opened yesterday in
the United States Court in the case Of e1-
Supervisor MUM, and brought out among
other things the interesting fact that the
South Side Distilling Company had paid to
JAKE REHM, as the official thieves share Of
the profits Of running the crooked,
$500 per month, then $500, $1,000,
and finally $500, which latter,
REHM sagaciously observed, was easily divided
by three. The payments, it appears Incl
denta11y. were made through that eminent
reformer, AIr. A. G. HEs1ya, who was part
owner in the distllery. It WAS also brought
out that MUM once, during this period,
found the disti1lery books had not been writ
ten up, and merely remarked that it was
sail right as far as he was concerned, but
if officials from Washington should happen
to come along it would make trouble
which when communicated to REHM moved
that parsonage to knowingly smile. From
the opening, the case promises TO be rich in
developments as to The true inwsrdness Of
the Chicago Whisky Ring.

tho extension Of the suffrage to
women can remedy none Of the
grievances OF the se1, which are not
those of q class, but of Individuals, and
which a higher civilization and higher
morality can wipe out; and in conclusion
he summed up by declaring that while he al
ways had and still did favor the extension Of
the right Of suffrage upon these considers
hons, for the sake Of the women themselves,
he felt compelled 10 vote against the meas
ure. His argument was not altogether new,
but it mgnalized in remarkable degree the
change that has come over British Liberal
sentiment upon this question since JoHN
stuart Mill published his work on the
" Subjugation OF Women, and indicates that:
there is less prospect than ever Of the ter
mination Of that sery1tude by her being made
3 voter by act Of Parliament.
