The body of n man dressed in the

little girls, named respectively Katie
Crowley, Nellie Battles and Maggie
McDevitt, went last night into the
basement of the house, in which a man
named Cornelius p. Smith resides, with
a boy. Local officer Thomas passed

the head and grasped the dress of Mag
gle McDevitt in his hands. She broke
loose from his grasp and followed her
companion down stairs. The Crowley
girl could not pass him, but erouched
IN the corner, probably hoping to elute
his notice. The other girls say that
when Smith discovered her he picked
her up and threw her over the balcony.
Smith denies the act, and says the girl
jumped over the railway. The girl
struck on a pile of rocks and an officer

mothers house. A physician was

CALIFORNIA CAPITALISTS ON
WALL STREET.

New YORK, Jan. 20.
The SIMS special says: Ii is estiniat-
ed that at least $40, 600 900 OF fresh capt.
tai has been brought into Wall street
during the last three months by Cal
%ifornians, for active employment.
This none has been transferred part
ly on account of the establishment of
the mining board in New York, which
needs financial support. Foremost
among the new spectators is Jim
Keene, of San Francisco. 1t is esti-
mated that he has transferred ST, 000,-
900 from San Francisco TO New York.
His first move on Wall street was to
buy 26, 900 shares of Western Union at
not far from $40. When the price
reached SIS and Frank Work Iii for
30, 900 shares at near that figure, keene
sold out and saddled the pool with
his stock. To the friend who asked
why he sold out, he lie piled: "A man
who don't take. $685. 00 profit when he
can get it is a fool" An almost insep.
arabic companion of Keene is known as
King Cone. Besides Keene, Senator
Jones, of Nevada, and ex Governor
stanford are here engaged in specula-
ton. 1t is not to be supposed, though,
that all of the Californians now operat-
ing in Wall street are en- rapport.
In fact there is1he liveliest kind of
rivalry among them here. as in Cal
lfornia street, in San Francisco.

In AFRICA.

Many months have gone by since a
faithful black, the friend and servant
Of one Of the bravest and noblest men
whose names add luster to the age in
which We live and to the race whose
tongue we speak, undsterred by diff.
culties and dangers, made his way
through tropical forests and jungles
and the lines of hostile savages, and
arrived on the shores of the Red Sea,
at the gate of civilization, having in
charge all that remained on earth of
David Livingstone. The great explor-
er and phi!anthropist is no more; but
his memory is enshrined in the hearts
Of all men, and, as is always true of
men of his great stature, his works live
after him.
Our cable dispatches o the
arrival at Madeira of Lieutenant
Young, Of the English Navy, who has
had charge for some time past of the
Livingstone Anli-slavery Mission on
the east coast Of Africa. The telegram
is meager, but it is sufficient to show
that the good work inaugurated by
Livingstone is being faithfully prose-
cuted by his co%untrymen. The hor-
rors Of the slave system, as conducted
in tropical Eastern Africa, can hardly
be conceived. In the light of such a sys-
TEN, the cruelties and tortures of the
''middle passage" as it existed eighty
years ago, may almost be considered as
gentle and nlerciful. These horrors, DIR.
Livingstone, during the last few years
O fhis life, made it his business to lessen
as far a in him lay. But he was not
content with alienation alone. With
characteristic energy he laid his AK at
the DOT Of the tree and aimed to extir-
pate the entire system. The work he
20 nobly commenced has been effect
lively carried on under the protection
of the British Government and by
aid OF English geographical and phil
anthropical societies; and now, if We
may trust our information, it is almost
completed. Lieutenant Young states
that there were only ttree slaves trans.
ported 10 the coast during the year
1876, as against many thousands dur
ing the year previous. Great credid,
of course, is to be attached to the able
co-adjutors and followers Of the great

AN INDEPENDENT VIEw.-The New
York Herald put the merits of the
compromise in a nutshell. 1t says:
"Only the business men of the country
favor the Electoral bill" is the cry Of
the politicians, 'and they do so be-
cause they think it will benefit the in.
dustrial and trading interests" Well,
are not the "industrial and trading in
terests'' a little more important than
the question as to which set of parti-
sans shall enjoy the fat offices of the
Government for the next four years."
And again it ~pertinently asks: "Whv
do foolish Republican p%artisans de-
nounce the Electoral bill? Because
they want the Republican President of
the Senate, by the exercise of a doubt
full power, to count Hayes in even if
he has not been fairly elected. Why
do reckless Democratic partisans de-
nounce the Electoral bill? Because
they want the Democratic House of
Representatives, by a revolutionary
proceeding, 10 declare Tilden Presi-
dent even if he has been fairly de-
feated."
