IT MAKES A GREAT difference down
South, in trials before the Courts, as to
whether the defendants are Republicans
or Democrats, especially if the offence
is Of political nature. II a colored
Republican is assaulted the verdict is
generally "served him right" but il
the defendant happens to be a Demo
crat it is quite a different thing. The
difference is shown in the following de

in New York two weeks before the time
fixed by act of Congress for such re-
sumption, for yesterday Government
notes were at par with gold for the first

that it is not only true that "the way

1t has only been a little over six
months since our city was copvulsed
over the horrible death of the little boy
Carson, from hydrophobia, and now
there is another case at the City Hos
pital which must it is thought prove
fatal. In June everybody was for all
enforcement of the ordinances that all
the dogs in the city might at least be
registered, but notwithstanding that
feeling there are to day scarcely one
fourth OF the dogs registered, and our
streets are full of worthless ours with
out owners apparently, aid OF no
earthly use whatever. 1t is supposed
that there are three thousand dogs il
this city at the least calculation, and
prob bly, not more that one third of
them are registered. There certainly
is some stringent need OF Legislation
upon this subject either State or NUM-
cipal, that the number OF useless dogs
may be reduced and human life made
more safe than it now is. Down ong
Water street it is no unusual thing
to see a dozen dogs at one time
engaged in general fight, all snap
ping at each other, and for ought that
is known some one or two of them
may be suffering with the rabies. We
are aware that the question will be
asked, how would registering all the
dogs in the city prevent hydrophobia
1t would not do it, but it would compel
those vino pretend to own dogs to pay
for the privilege of doing so,ani rather
than pay a dollar every year for that
privilege, they would kill the worthless
ours. That few dogs can be kept by
some people without seriously endanger,
ing the lives OF the citizens cannot bt
doubted, but this is one of the things
which for human safety should only b.
privilege, however strong an inheren
right everybody may claim to have
himself surrounded with dogs.
Ferocious wild beasts tanned by the
art of man and brought into subjectiol
by him, could scarcely be more danger
Gus than rabid dog, and yet were i
known that even tanned wild anima
was at large, the streets of GU
city would be almost depopulatei.
is unfortunate that familiarity wit
dogs blinds us TO the danger We are il
to such an extent that some of the mos
dangerous species of the canine race
hugged to the bosoms OF the most del
cate and refined ladies without a though
of danger. Boys and many men hav
their dog pets which they make the
bediellows at night, and children fol
die and roll over the shaggy coat of
household pet that may the next mt
lrent send the deadly poison-viru
through their systems. The ordinance
should e enforced that only the dog
registered sh0ald be allowed to liv,
and dog that it not worth dollar
year is not worth having at all. fifth
ordinance which We have now are nc
sufficient to compel registration OF th
dogs, we hope our City Council wi
make it more stringent, and if dolls
year tax is not sufficient to reduc
the number of worthless ours that roal
our streets, let it be made two dollars
but under all circumstances let the ol
dinance whatever it is be rigidIy er

Committee Reports.

Washington, May 3.-The Republi-
can Senatorial caucus heard the report
today from Edmunds, of the commit
tee appointed to make suggestions re-
garding the necessary political measures
to be brought before the Senate for ac-
tion. He reported favoring the adop-
tion Of a series of resolutions in the
Senate declaring that the 14th and 18th
Constitutional amendments should be
enforced by the Executive department.
This recommendation was agreed to
and resolutions will be shortly pre-
sented, and pressed to vote, with a
view Of making up the record of both
political parties for the coming fall
campaigns. The proceedings were
very harmonious.
The investigation of the consulate of
China has been virtually postponed by
the committee on Expenditures of the
State Department, until Minister Sew
ard arrives.

In the case of war between Eng
land and Russia, Americans who are
induced by the latter power to engage
in privateering enterprises to the injury
of the former, will, by the terms of the
treaties between this country and
Great Britain, put themselves in the
place of pirates, and subject themselves
to the peril of punishment for piracy,
and Great Britain can be relied upon
to inflict the extreme penalty every
time. That power has never been
troubled with any sentimental affection
of forgiveness or any merciful squeam-
ishness when called upon to deal with
offenders against her authority. So
those Americans who would make for.
tunes at the expense of England's
commerce, will be obliged to take their
lives in their own hands. If they are
fortunate they will live the honored
lives of men of wealth. If they are
unfortunate they will die the ignomin'
ous deaths of felons.

dition to the mill interest is about S75,-
900; on the Elevator S11 200; on wheat
and about one million feet of dry lum-
Der in Petit, Robinson s. Co.'s yard,
it is too early yet to revise estimates on
the total money loss and insurance.

DISCUSSING THE SITUATION.
Which Results in more Surmises thar
Realities.

London, May 3.-There is remark
able absence of news respecting the
progress Of negotiations between Eng
land and Russia, but the latest impress
sions are more hopeful. Though Russia
is believed to have secured Austria's IS
neutrality, her military situation in
Turkey is now regarded as exceedingly
critical. The attitude of the Turkish
soldiery is reported as more favorable
than ever for an alliance with English
troops. A month ago Russian influ-
ence seemed on the point of carrying
everything before it, but now the porte
seems more intractible than ever. The
Turkish army is so strong that the
threats of the Russians have little eff
feet. The Turks have entrenched po-
sitions, and are scarcely inferior in
numbers to what the Muscovites can
mass, so that the most serious attack
might be resisted until help could come
from elsewhere. Therefore it is not
considered likely that they will accede
to the evacuation of Thumla, Varna
and Batoum, even to get the Russians
further away from the neighborhOod of
Constantinople.

THE GREAT SCANDAL.
Rumors that the National Swill Bucket
will Again be Uncovered.

New York, May 3.-The Herald,
publishes Rochester special, attribut-
ing to Henry Ward Beecher's lecture
agent the statement that Beecher's
counsel will soon institute proceedings
against Tilton. 1t claims that these
proceedings will be based on new devel-
opments made by party unnamed.
The Herald correspondent says that
this party was in the confidence of Til
ton and Moulton through all. They
dared not trust each other, and he was
the middle-man, to whom all secrets
were confided. He was the custodian
of all papers showing conspiracy, and
at the same time took a full memoran-
da of conferences and conversations.
These show every point of the conspi-
racy, and lay bare the entire plot to
ruin Beecher. The alleged new wit
ness is stated to have written to news
papers articles bitterly denouncing
Beecher. He may at first have been
honest in his opinion, but subsequently
discovered the plot. During the trial
of Beecher, the counsel for the defense
frequently come close to clues which
would have ruined all, but they did not
happen to get hold of the facts that
would have shown the whole case in its
true light. 1t is claimed that the new
witness statements from personal
knowledge are supported by papers and
documents so overwhelming as to be
absolutely incontrovertable, and that
when made public they will set Beecher
rightfully forever before the world.
The witness says that Tilton always
knew that his wife was innocent of the
charges of improper intimacy with
Beecher, and that in the conferences
of Tilton, Moulton and himself, Tilton
used to show anger if either of the 9TH
ers alluded to the matter as though it
were fact.

MEXICAN BORDER TROUBLES
The Matter Discussed by the cabine,
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Washington, March 3.-The Cabinet
to-day seriously considered the Mexican
border troubles. There is abundant
evidence that Lardo's friends, on the
American side, are making 4 strong
movement to cross the Rio Grande to
create trouble with Diaz. The Secre-
tary of War, after the Cabinet adjourn
ed, ordered General Ord to be particu-
larly vigilant to prevent an invasion
from the American side. Serious trouble
along the Mexican border is anticipated
by the Administration. Lardo's fol-
lowers are doubtless instigating Indian
raids into American territory, that the
American troops may chase them across
the border and produce additional
complications. Some members of the
Cabinet think that Escabado should
be arrested in Texas for violating the
neutrality laws. This information is
reliable and the official State and Judi
cial departments will issue orders to
prevent breach Of neutrality.
