THE ST. LOUIS CROOKS.
A DECISION FAVORABLE TO JOYCE.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-A special tc
the Evening Dispatch from Jefferson
City says that the habeas corpus case
of Col. John A. JOY ce, formerly
United States Revenue Agent of this
district under Gen. John Mcdonald,
was decided, to-day, by Judge
Kreckle, of the United States Dis
trict Court. The particulars of the
questions involved in the case was
that of cumulative punishment or
judgment on more than one count of
an indictment. The decision was
long and elaborate, and expresses
some doubt ~ to how far Q court,
under habeas corpus proceedings, can
review its former judgments, but in
this case the Judge says in closing !:
II feel relieved because the Judgment
about to be entered can be reviewed
and the various questions involved
authoritatively settled on appeal.
The conclusions arrived at are that
the indictment under consideration
in its various counts charges but one
offense; that when the court entered
its judgment on conspiracy>the court
exhausted its powers, and that the
result of the Judgment is void. That
Joyce having served the full term of
two years in the penitentiary, after
allowing due credit for good behav-
ior, is entitled to discharge, which
is granted him on condition that he
and his surety enter into recognizance

order of court which may be made

ENGLIsH crop reports, under date OF
August 7th, represent wheat, barley
as heavy in the fens, but badly laid by
the rain. Almost everywhere the
fields have . more or less dingy ap-
pearance, which betokens blight. The
wheat will most likely fall short of
an average crop. The millers, how
ever are buying sparingly yet of for
eign wheat. The main dependence
for foreign supply this year will be
America, ~ France will have little
to spare, and farther east the war
will take the whole crop. The prices
Of wheat for the week, have hardly
been maintained, but corn was trifle
higher.

The Cincinnati Gazette briefly
states the various stock-watering op-
erations by which Commodore Van
derbilt made his vast fortune; but
may not the fortune consist of eva
ter" when the aquatic fluid is squeez-
cd out Of the stock by low freights,
reduced business and hard times? 1t
says:
"Take the New York Central for
instance. We do not 60 back to any
orig gihal watering In the building of
the roads by eleven companies from
AlbAny TO Buffalo. In 1852 these con-
solidafed their capital of $4,000, 600,
and added about $9, ,OO0O to the Sc
curities by water. In various ways
the stock and bonds were increased,
till. in 1868, when Vanderbilt became
manager, the amount had reached
$54, ,00O, 600. He had previously water
ed the Hudson River stock $500, 900.
He now made his master stroke as the
great railroad aquatic by stock div
idend on the Central of so per cent,
making $23,0OO,OO0 of capital by wa
ter. The following year he consoli-
dated the Central and Hudson on a
stock basis of $4,000, 600, which was o
further watering of ~ per cent. to the
Central. Now he performed on the
Hudson his great aquatic trick, and
added So per cent to its stock by
water. And now the property which
by its own books cost less than $780,
100000, was inflated to over sos, 600, :
600 in 1870, being at the rate of over
$l22 900 per mile, on which he is col
lecting dividends by opprcssively
discriminating freight tariffs, and by
degrading the condition Of the skilled
laborers."
Another operation Of Vanderbilts
stock-watering is thus described:
1.-TWO companies from Buffalo to
Erie were consolidated by Wander
bilt in 1867, increasing their capital
from $2,SOO,OOO to $5,O0O,OO0. In the
subsequent consolidation to Chicago
| 81, 100000 was added to this. The
road from Erie to Cleveland had in
the previous six years divided IN
per cent. in stock, 33 per cent in bonds
and 70 per cent in cash. Costing less
!. than $5,O0O,O0O, it was now CONSOLE
dated at $l2.00O,0O0. Vanderbilt go
control of the road from Toledo tt
Cleveland in 1866, and then made {
scrip dividend of 25 per cent. OF
81, 100000. The roads from Erie te
Cleveland, and from Cleveland Il
Toledo were consolidated in 1867, OF
basis OF $22, ,O0O, 900 capital. In 1856!
the work Of consolidation from Buff
, falo to Chicago was completed on [
basis of $57,OOOOOO, which, in 1871
was increased to $62,OO0.0OO, with th'
further privilege of increase to $73,
: 100000. Tho Vanderbilt line from
/ Buffalo to Chicago unquestionabl.
!, represented at least $40, ,O00, 600 of fic
titious capital, on which he is collect
!, ing dividends by taxing the peopl
and expressing the workmen."

maine Democratic convention.

PORTLAND, Aug. 14.-The demo-
cratic State convention assembled at
IL :l5 this morning and was called to
order by Hon. T.. +. Pillsbury, chair
man of the State Committee. There
was large and intelligent assem-
blage present. Hon. VIM. L. Put
nam, of Portland, was nominated for
temporary chairman and John d.
Redman, of Ellsworth, for secretary.
Putnam, in his speech to the con-
vention, said the financial question
was the all-important one. He con-
sidered that the war had just ceased
and that we now feel the inevitable
results of that conflict of an inflated
currency and an over-powerful CEN
trail government. Out of these evils
come corruption and extravaganza,
and in addition out of the civil war
comes the inability of ravaged
country to receive the manufactures
of the more successful portion. The
longer the war is kept up the longer
the fever and prostration.
1t was voted that the temporary or
ganization be made permanent and
sixteen vice presidents were chosen
and committees appointed. The con-
yention then adjourned till o'clock

THE latest reports from the seat of
war in Europe represent the Car as
lying inactive, awaiting his reinforce
ments, and the Turks adding to the
Notifications occupied by their var
ious armies. 1t is apparent that the
Russians learned lesson by their re-
cent defeat at Plevna, which was of
sufficient Importance to convince them
that their march to Constantinoplc is
not q matter Of course. The result of
that battle was severe shock to Rus
sian pride and their assumption of
superiority over the Turks. The gzar
SO feels it, and he is determined that
1t shall not be repeated if he can help
1t. This lesson, though learned amid
disaster is very valuable to the Rus
slams, Itwould seem at this distance
and with our limitod knowledge of
the situation, that the Turks failed in
not following up their. advantage aft
er the battle of Plevna. It would
seem as though if they had struck the
Russians hard and rapidly after their
defeat that it would have been at
tended with good results for the
Turkish cause. This,thc Turks did not
do, and it is presumed they thought
tho Russians would continue to at
tack them, as at Plevna, in their en-
trenched positions. We think tho
Gar has learned lesson, and will
now adopt the practice of turning
their flanks, thus rendering the occu-
patton of their cntrenched positions
impossible, rather than giving the
Turks battle in them. in other words,
we believe that the Russians learned
enough in the battle of Plevna to not
underestimate the power and bravery
Of their enemy, and that the latter
may no longer expect to be attacked
in positions of their own choosing.
Added to the defeat at Plcvna, the
Russian soldiers, from the rugged
temperature Of their homes in the
north, are now suffering from the
miasma of the more southern latitude,
and this will dccimatc rapidly, for
time, the Russian armies. All this,
however, will only protract the war.
Unless stronv armcd intervention in
behalf of Turkey occurs, she will go
down before the immense power Of
Nichoias, but it will not be in this sea-
sons campaign. The Gar has got q
much Digger thing on his hands than
he anticipated, sr .fai|sa
Temporarily and financially speak
ing, all this is to result to our good
~ . nation, and we confidently look
for an era of prosperity to soon set in
upon us. sf ,,a.5,.s ..@.s5 's-

announce the total loss or the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company's steamer
Eten, Capt. Ooathupe, on the morn.
ing Of the 18th Of July, at Los Vilob,
out seven miles miles north Of Valpa-
raiso. Fourteen of the bodies had
been recovered, forty-three of the
passengers and crew had reached the
shore in safety, and twenty were still
on the rocks. A British war vessel
and Chilian gunboat went to the
scene of the wreck as soon ss report
ed, but were unable to render any
assistance, owing to rough weather
and the fog. The survivors on the
rocks, from exposure and want of
food threw themselves into the sea to
end their misery. Only three were
saved. &

q crew OF sixty-scven, all told, and
passengers, there are probably saved

than from 80 to 100 passengers. The

STARVATION IN INDIA.

CALcUTTA, Aug. 4.-At public
meeting held at Madras ON the 9th
inst. to consider steps necessary for
securing help from England for the
famine sufferers, the Duke Of Buck
ingham, Governor Of Madras 'presi-
ding, stated that the famine area con-
tanned 18.OOO, 600 people, of which a
large proportion were dependent for
daily food on the exertions and activ-
ity of those who transport grain to
the country. The necessity for sup
plies is daily Increasing. The wants
Of Madras are already beyond. the
means of the presidency. Every aid
that can be secured is needed to save
the people. Increasing severity of
distress necessitiates an appeal to
public charity.
DR.. Cornish, of the sanitary COM
mission, said there were already
1850, 1000 people being fed and over
5000 had died. A resolution was
adopted that the principal cities Of
England, Scotland, Ireland and In
dia, be informed Of the urgent neces-
sity for assistance. The mover of
this resolution said that more people
were found dead in q single morning
In Madras, than had died in. the
whole Bengal famine.
