The Secretary Of State is preparing let
ter to theGovernor of Mississippi respecting
the late Chisholm murder, and it is SAID
that the document will be notice to the
Southern people as to their duty and an
interpretation Of the Presidents Southern
policy. We do not clearly zee what the
government at Washington has to do with
murders in Mississippi more than with
murders in Delaware. 1t is for the State
authorities to deal with State matters
in the south as we'll as in the north, and il
President Hayes is sincere in his "home
rule'' professions, he will mind his own
proper business and let Mississippi mind
hers.

The rumor comes over the ocean thai
the Paris Exposition of 1878 is likely to
be postponed for a year or two because 9th e
threatening .rspect Of politics both in
France and the rest Of Europe. These
modern Worlds Fairs are the very re-
verse of the ancient temples Of Janus, in
that their gates must be closed unless pref
ty much all the world is at peace. Though
1t is pity that this great event should be
put of because of wars and rumors Of
war, yet there would be this slight COM
.pensation from the American point of
view our government would have time
to provide for proper representation
there. The failure of congress last winter
to make an appropriation for this object
was excusable, by reason Of the political
excitemant attendant on the contested sue
cession to the presidency, and the post
ponement Of the extra session till fall,
makes it impossible to remedy the over>
sight till then, or perhaps till some time
in the winter. But meanwhile It has been
semi-of6cially announced from France that
unless the government shall be officially
represented at the Exposition, Americans
as such, will not be allowed to exhibit
and tardy resolution and appropriation
for that purpose next November or De
cember will leave so little time that our
sxhftisors will be put at decided disad-
vantage. If the exposition be postponed,
however, congress will doubtless repair
its neglect and enact the necessary legis-
lation in good time. Part or all of that

exhibition to the treasury might we'll be
appropriated for the American department

To men in middle life the recollections Of

WlLuIuoTON. Nay -. 1877:
No1Tcn 10 SuBscRBERs.-Those OF our
jsubscribers who are indebted to the MORN.
mo HERALD, will oblige by an early re-
mittance.

The proceedings OF recent meeting o.
ths worthy brothers Of q New York Uni
versalist church, At which couple Of the
sanctimonious hypocrites came near to en-
gaging ina pugilistic encounter, were sim
ply disgusting. One Of the reverend par
Elephants in this worse than common bar
RON ibrawl il. Charles Peter Mccarthy,
the former pastor of the Bleecker street
church, but who had been deposed in con.
sequence of alleged immoralities, etc. The
other lamblike member of the fold is the
Rev. Mr.. Sweetser, who occupies the pofi>
ition:: of 'boss prosecutor. Mccarthy had
demanded new trial, but court Of law
was necessary to the enforcement Of his de
mand and when, therefore, the vestry
flock were brought together there wasn't
much Of the milk Of human kindness in
their veins for the bold Mccarthy ;'and it
isn't 10 be wondered at that they proceed
ed at once to subject him to process of
moral mastication. In other words, they
were disposed to "chew him up" and, no
doubt, would have made short work Of him
had it not been for bis own display q
combativsnes, combined with the moral
support he received from the applause and
parasols of the ladies. The ''triaw of the
unhappy minister was begun by Sweetser's
effort to read a report Of the ex.pastors
sermon, from the New York Herald, in
which he was represented as asserting that
the Universalist church of Gotham was
drifting into in6dslity. To the admission
in evidence against him Of anything from
the columns Of the Herald, Mr.. Mccarthy
objected. But the more he did so the
louder the moderator pounded him out of
order, and the redder became the face of Mr.
Sweetser, whose lungs were near bursting
in the effort to screech the contents of the
newspaper in a key higher than the gem
eral din. Subsequently Sweetser and Nc
Carthy came into personal contact, when
the former sought to snatch document
from the hand Of the :.latter and free
fight was only averted by the moderators
proclamation Of adjournment. There are
at presents batch Of prize fighters confined
in q Jersey Jail for participating in bru-
tai encounter at Pennsville but it is doubt
ful whether they could be induced, under
any circumstances, to ply their vocation in
a house consecrated to the worship of the
Almighty,

New EoRK, October 3.-The excite
ment caused by the exposure Of the for.
geries Of VIM. c. Gilman was intensified
by the discovery that the stock of the
American Exchange Bank and Metro
politan Bank had also been forged and
that several large institutions were heavy
losers. The forgeries, so far as discover.
ed; aggregate $685., 500. on which Mr.
Gilman raised S247,9IO. 1t is the
belief that Mr.. Gilman has COM
mitted suicide and is generally cred.
ited in insurance and bank circles. The
principal losers were large corporations
Two money lenders, whose names are
not yet known, wre reported as among
victims, one losing SIS, 600 and the other
$4,000. The forgeries began Jan. lG, 1876
The scrip Of the Atlantic Mutual Insur.
ance Company was altered from $50 to
$1,000. At first Gilman operated slowly,
but as business losses crowded on him he
became holder, and forgery became almost
au every day occurrence. lie dealt very
largely in scrip OF the New York Mutual,
Marine, Commercial and Union Ins. Cos,
But a full examination showed that the
torgeries were strictly confined to the At.
lantic Mutual Co. and the American Ex.
change and Metropolitan banks. The
rumor that the U. S. Trust Co. had been
defrsuded by Mr.. Gilman proves to be
false. The losses are thus summed up as

lthas now been three Weeks since this

consequence is that the pastures and also
the wheat fields are in suffering condi.

acreage Of wheat Sown this fall is unusu.
ally large, and much Of il was 'sown late,
and hence there ia much apprehension

In addition 10 the assets Of the bank
the stockholders are individually liable,

Report OF the Com mIttce on Pub
lie buildings.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-The COM
mittee appointed by Secretary Schurz TO
investigate and report the condition Of
the building and walls oi the Interior De.
partment have submitted their report, in
which they state that the walls are en-
tirely safe. They recommend that the
roof be rebuilt with iron beams, the COW
ering to be OF copper, and as the gpace is
evidently already much needed to accom-.
modate the great and growing business Of
the Patent Office and Interior Depart
ment, which has in fact compelled dan.
gerous uses Of the spaces within the roof
for the storage OF combustible materials,
the committee suggests the propriety Of
constructing another building across the
middle OF the court yard, running north
and south, to consist Of ihe sainc number
OF stories as the present front and wings;
to have central corridor ard Two rows
OF rooms on each story, a cd to be Of fire
proof construction. The two court yards
which will then exist will be OF dimen.
sions which can be readily rooted with
iron and glass, which will make II posi-.
bic TO use all the lower portions Of them
for the storage Of models, papers, &c.

NEw York, October Sat the Stock
Exchange speculative shares are higher

interestn forming basis for m upward

ports continue TO be very large, and the
roads which bring grain to these ports

trunk lines will get the full benefit Of this
business. So far as railroad tonnage
for the next eight or ten months
Is concerned the outlook could not
be more encouraging II Is 10 be said,
too, that with plenty Of business the roads
are less likely to quarrel about rates. Il
