General Grant in London.

"The free dom of the city of London"
which has just been give to General Grant
is an honor which has been accepted with
thanks by the third Napoleon, the EN-
peror Alexander, and the great French
statesman Theirs, but has never before
been conferred upon an American. Lon
don has been styled "a municipality within

mission. The citizens of the city proper
have many rights and privileges of their

The citizens have already formally voted
this honor to General Grant, and he will
of course accept and appear before the
city chamberlain, take the "oath of fideli-
ty' necessary to its formal acceptance, and
sign his name in big book, with those of
the officers of the city chamber, who are
ready TO act as his "compurgators, and
make themselves responsible for his good
citizenship.

to his affinity in the person of resident of
Paducah, KY, and after being released
from the asylum he went to Utah and
through the courts there obtained divorce
from his wife. Returning to Kentucky, be
promptly married his affinity, and now his
former wife brings suit for alimony, to test
the legality of the Utah divorce.
Mrs. Lydia Sherman. the Connecticut
poisoner, is at large. For some time she
had felgned illness, and having disarmed
suspicion and prepared an exit by per-
suadinR matron to leave open prison
door, she escaped easily. She poisoned
successfully with arsenic her first husband,
a New York policeman, her children,
Martha, Eliza, Edward and George, and
subsequently her third husband, Horatio
N. Sherman, of Birmingham, Conn, and
his baby son, to all of which she confessed,
and it has been supposed that she also
poisoned her second husband. She had
quite an income in her own right, from the
estate of her third husband, and it is sug-
gested that her money probably purchased
her escape.
In lecture lately delivered in Liverpool
by Mr.. w. Haslam of London on "The
Great Pyramid it was maintained that
the pile was erected under the guidance of
Jehovah, and that In its chambers and gal
leries were clues to all the prophecies the
number of inches in the passage from
chamber to chamber corresponding exactly
with the number of years between such
great occurrences as the confusion of
tongues at the tower of Babel, the passage
of the Red sea, and the birth of Christ.
The length of the passage between the
point at which the latter event took place
and the next chamber was 1882 inches, In
dicating the year 1882 as the date of the
end of the Christian dispensation.
An extraordinary tragedy recently &C.
Cured at Spalatzo, Dalmatia. A house
holder named Tonic, in fit of rage,
killed his wife and father, and when the
police came to arrest him he barrcaded the
house and warned them off with musket.
He then opened fire upon the citizens, and
killed a man and wounded woman. A
clergyman then bravely approached the
house and besought Tonic to at least give
up to him his child, but the wretch as
swered the appeal by throwing out her
limbs, one by one. The police kept guard
for two days, and finally, by keeping up a
brisk fire of stones at the window, the
mailman was driven out of sight, when
rush was made and he was captured. AL
together, he had killed four and wounded
five persons.

should be as much inclined to believe
that the law and facts were with the six
white jurymen as with the six colored
ones. Indeed, if the case is fairly stated in
his charge-and who doubts that 1t was
fairly stated 2-we believe that these men
If tried before a Vermont jury would all
have been acquitted. The accused were
not on trial for the murder of Bush-who
was killed nearly two months before cleo
tion-nor for any of the atrocities which
followed 1t. The charge was a conspiracy
to prevent Bush and others from voting on
account Of their race and color, and Judge
Waite Gays that the controlling element
of the offense" is the race and color of
Bush, and that to convict the accused il
must appear that 1t was the object of the
accused to "interfere with his right and
privilege of voting on account of his race
and color, without regard to his political
belief or association" and that ii is not
enough to find conspiracy against him
on account of his political opinions or on
"account of his support or advocacy of
"any political party"
Having thus declared that the grapamen
OF the offense charged was, conspiracy
to prevent Bushs voting on account of his
race and color, the chief justice seems to
dispose of the whole case by reviewing the
evidence and telling the jury, that ait had
mot been attempted TO prove that Bush
was colored man, or that he was citi-
"zen of the U nited States, or lawfully
"qualified voter of Aiken county; or
member of the political party which on
or about the fifteenth of September -
the day of his murdsr-put Smalls, a
colored man, in nomination for reelection
as representative in congress from the dis
trict in which the murder took place, or in
which Aiken county was situated.
What then becomes of the case A
conspiracy to prevent Bush from voting on
account of his race and color is charged,
but there is not even pretense, 80 far as
the evidence shows, that he was colored
man, or that he was even entitled to vote
at all The very first element of the case
was wanting, and, in the state of the proof
as given by the chief justice, we doubt if
New England court could have been
found which would even have allowed the
case to have gone to the jury at all.
The guilt or innocence of the accused of
the murder of Bush, or of the homicides
which followed it, had nothing to do with
this case. Judge Waite was particular to
charge the jury that however much they
might deprecate these crimes, the punish
ment of the guilty parties had been COM
mitted to other courts than the one he pre-
sided over-the power for that purpose,
said he, "exlsts in the government of the
state" Whether the state will exercise
the power is another question and if it
does, whether Governor Hampton will fol-
low the example of certain New England
executive and exercise his clemency in their
behalf may not be matter of much doubt.
The probability is, as the associated press
dispatch states, that the "conspirators"
will never again be brought to trial, and,
judging from Chief Justice Waites charge,
it would seem that they ought at once to
be discharged.

Desperate Attack by Roughs on q
Manchester Policeman.

Peace and quietness has virtually been
kept at thu low er end of the city of Man
chester,N H., for several weeks until Salur-
day zig I, when there occurred an old
fashioned row which will probably result
in the d. ath of ons of the participants. At
about 11;30 o'clock sunday night Officer
Thomas Train was patrolng that portion
of his bea betwe Cedar al d Spruce
streets on Elm. He was met by party of
five or six rouehs, who attacked him,
throwing him upon the ground and most
shamefully pounding him about the face
and body. The officer succeeding in get

O'Brien clinched with him and a desperate
struggle ensued, the other roughs assisting.
Drawing his revolver, thirty-two calibre
Wesson, he emptied 1t at the crowd, two
shois taking effect on O'Brien. One en-
tered the right eide, another the right
breast, passing through rib into the right

difficulty the disturbance was quelled.
Brickbats were thrown and shots fired at the

TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1877.

The story 50 industriously circulated,
and which the Burlington Free Press gives
currency to, that THE GLOBE has some
thing to do with the prosecution of the
Reverend Samuel b. Pettengill, for a
violation of the fish and game law, is too
absurd to need notice but inasmuch as the
postmaster of Rutland, and certain other
brethren, are endeavoring to make some
capital out of the story-they, all the time,
well knowing it TO be fasehood-we deem
it proper to say that neither the editor of
THE GLOBE, any of his associates, nor any
one connected Herewith, had anything to
do with the commencement of the suit :;
neither of them advised thereto or were
consulted in reference to the same and
none OF them. even, knew that such suit
was contemplated until after the writ was
issued. Had we been consulted, we should
have advised that the reverend brother be
permitted to fish where he pleased, law or
no law, feeling assured that trout would
need no protection from his rod and line
but, being prosecuted, he has our profound
est sympathy and earnest desire that he
may have safe deliverance.

The Best Double Time on
Record,


At the Bay district track this morning
the double-team Gen. Cobb and Ellen Nc
Cord, owned by Charles Crocker, made the
fastest time on record. They were driven
o. A. Hickok, and the JUICES of the feat
were A, X. Grim, Johl Sham and DR.. ].
d. Whitney; G. S. Crittenden, ]. N. Kill
lip and Mr.. Lancaster acted as timers. The
team was firsl driven couple of times
around the track, and then taken to the
stable and well rubbed down. They were
then called out on the tap of the bell for the
grand trial. Mr.. Hickok drove them around
the track at moderate gait, accompanied
part of the way by running horse, whose
services however it was concluded to dis
pense with on the trial. Turning his horse
up the quarter stretch Hickok came down
and nodded TO the Judges for the word.
Nhe send-off was beautiful, and the quarter
was made 10 81 !, the half mile In 1:l45.
three-quarters in l:50!; and the mile IN
2:26!, without single skip by either
horse. This is the fastest time on record
in the world The successful performance
of the feat was hailed with hearty applause
by the large crowd Of spectators, and Mr..
Crockers satisfaction was unbounded. 1t
was the opinion of the best judges present
that il Mr.. Hickok had urged the team
down the home stretch the mile might have
been made in 2:25 At Narraganse,t park,
in 1870, Jessie Wales and Darkness made
the mile in 2:273, which has been consid-
cred the fastest recorded time, though this
was beaten on one occasion by Bruno and
Brunette, in what is called fancy trial, in
2:25t, and by team of Bonner's in SINH
lar tlial in 2:26. The team is supposed to
have cost about $l5, 000.- San. Francisco

THE EILENIoN CONSPIRACY TRIAL

The result of the trial of the Ellenton,
South Carolina, conspiracy case will, we
presume, surprise no one. 1t was the old
story of "eight to seven" over again--all of
the jury agreeing in acquittiug one of the
respondents, and as to the others the jury
dividing on the "color line;" six white
Jurymen being in favor of general acquit-
tai OF all the respondents, while the six black
jurors "stuck" for their conviction, al
though these black jurors were willing to
compromise on verdict of guilty as to
two, and of acquittal as to the remaining
eight.
What the merits of this particular case
are, it is, perhaps, impossible to say; but
tits more than probable that the result will
be made the text for several violent TRADES
against the presidents policy an argu-
ment will be attempted to be deduced
therefrom that the southern people IRE IN
fit for self government; and we shall be
pointed to all the horrible results which
will be claimed to come from the with
drawal OF the army from South Carolina
AMI Louisiana. Upon this view OF the case,
we havo only this to say; If the with
drawal of the ara y from South Carolina
produced this result, then it is exceedingly
fortunate that 1t VS. with r.wn; for no
matter how guilty these ten SO called soon
"spiraiors" were, it is far better that they
should escape than that the courts should
be overawed by the military, and even a
jus, verdict obtained solely through the
fear inspired by the presence of the United
Safes army-and this is all the argument
amounts to.
But judging of the case entirely from
the charge of Chief Justice Waite, we

RECOMMENDATION is at least hazardous
experiment. Its effect on the future of
business under existing conditions is in
volved in uncertainty. Forecast is not
infallible. Two standard metallic dollars
differing in value are not unphilosophical
as two standard pounds differing in
weight. Business would inevitably adjust
itself to the shorter measure, and the
longer become practically obsolete. This

ANOTHER CHTCA 90 INSTITUTION
LETS 90.

Chicago. Sept. 19.-The Farmers, Mer-
chants & Mechanics Savings Bank, Sid
ney Myers President, suspended to-day.
The fact of its closing its doors perma-
nently was not known until late hour
tonight, and no financial statement of
the concerns condition can be obtained.
Mr.. Myers attributes the failure to the
general shrinkage of values and the i'm
possibility to realize on collaterals. The
panicky feeling ocCasioned by the recent
failure of the States Savings Bank caused
somewhat of a run on that institution at
that time, and this has crippled the con-
Germ so that demands could not be met
promptly. A Receiver will be APP
pointed.

was fixed at $35O.OOO. There is little ex-

generally believed that it will prove dis
astrious neither 70 depositors nor to the
general public. The depositors number
about $500, and their accounts aggregate
nearly half a million. The assets are
believed to be in pretty good shape, as
Mr.. Myers was usually careful business
man, without expensive habits and hon.
