Kearney as q Flower.
RAPIDLY WTTHEzrSG-FArAL Effects OF Tran
PLANTING.

hearney seems to be 5 flower that, however
much It may blossom and b~ourgeon in the Caliior-
MA atmosphere, IL destined to wither early in
Eastern air. The attempt az TRANSFORMING will
probably be fatal TO this gentle f0weret Of the
sand-lois. After General Butler went back on
him, and he shook the dust Of Boston of his feet,
hearney put IN successive appearances at India
napolis, Chicago and 81. Louis, but the bloom Of
the rose had departed. The imprisoned orator
spoke his stereotyped piece at each place. but the
workIngmen took no stock in him.
The welcomes he received were intangible, and
ms hearers listened, wondered, and went home
not greatly interested. but slightly Disguised.
Ibis last failure ct St. Louis should convince him
that "kearney must go" back to where be
came from. But during his absence in the East
his friends and co-laborers in the cause of ami
hilating the lecherous bondholders and CAPT.
taIIsts hold their accustomed meetings on the
sand-lots In San francisco, where they relieve
their pent-up feelings in fiery speeches, and
amuse themselves by passing resolutions. As
hearney Is just now IN need Of something to
cheer him up, it was perhaps we'll that they sent
him the following message:
"Ihe sand-lots of San Francisco send greeting
10 Boston Common. The Atlantic echoes back
the roar of the Pacific, and the Pacific responds
again. The Chinese must 90, and labor shall be
crowned king. In this sign we conquer. Let us
span the continent with 4 fraternal clasp, and
draw into one harmonious union the whole great
fraternity of toilers between. So shall the right
govern and good government prevail so shall
our wrongs be righted, and the land again be
tenanted by a happy, contented and prosperous
people"
There has not been much of a roar along the
Atlantic, except the usual one of the waves, that
we have heard of; but perhaps it is postponed
until Kearney comes to Baltimore, which we sup
pose he will do, if our local Socialists and Green
hackers Will kindly raise the cash for bis railroad
fares and hotel bills. For their Information we
may state that when he passed the hat around in
Chicago, he expressed himself in this wise: 81
don't want no f~irst-class hotel nor l don't want
no f~rst-elass grub; nor | don't travel in no draw
lng-room cars, but L do want money ;" and then
he kindly told the generous workingmen who are
supporting him in idleness that twenty-five cent
meals and fifty cent beds were quite sufficient for
his ambition.-BahinOre paper.

The heaven of the MOravian Hanaks is an i'm

living stream of lard, on the banks of which lie
prone the redeemed Hanaks, holding their chins

One of the most curious features of the new dis
covery of the means of conveying sounds by the use
of the electic wire is the peculiar faculty il imparts
to deaf persons. The lightest telephone sound ap-
pears to be audible to their sense in a much greater
degree than it is to that of people who have never
suffered the deprivation of the blessing of hearing.
One case known IS that, of a gentleman possessing
many claim to scientific distinction, whose organ of
hearing is utterly unaffected by ordinary spoken
sounds, but who can stand by the little metallic ear
piece and translate perfectly to those near him the
faintest whisper which passes through it. This fact
is presented to the profession of aurists who may find
in it q new development of their noble art.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 1.
Providence Journal,l
FitZ John Porter Again.


Some weeks since an article appeared in the
Journal giving an account of a soldiers re-
union at Portland, Maine, where a serious
charge was made against Gen. Fitz John
Porter. The speaker said, in substance, that
he was an orderly at Gen. Pope's headquarters,
on the morning of the second battle of Bull
Kun, and was charged with an order from him
co zen. Porter to move, and that the order was
repeated without effect, Gen. Porter refusing
TO obey. We have received note from Gen.
Porter, assuring US that this statement is
wholly untrue, that nothing of the kind took
place. We have certainly 40 desire to do in
Justice TO Gen. Porter, and we place on record
mis- emphatic denial OF the charge.
A note from Gen. Fred T. Locke, Gen.
fofters AJutant General and Chief of Staff, in
denying the story of the Maine soldier says:
=, The facts are briefly these: The headquarters of
Inc fith Army Corps did not occupy its tents from
daylight on the morning of tie Goth of August 1856 2,
until me Sd OF September following, for the reason
that all the baggage sent to the and the
command was 100 busiy engaged in marching and
fighting. No orderly approached Gen. Porter on the
morning Of The 18th Of August with a message from
Gen. Pope, nor did the commanding General receive
any orders that morning from Gen. Pope, except at
the hands of commissioned officer. Furthermore,
the corps or the army, did not 'fa back" until af
Ter lis defeat in the afternoon of the next day, Aug
~. think the ''story" published in your paper
must have been imposed upon the regiment, and
would be very 10th to believe that regiment SO dis
tinguished for bravery the First Maine Cavalry
SHOULD have on its rolls man who could. for little
cueap notoriety, manufacture SO silly falsehood.

THE RETURNING BOARD.
The Trial of Anderson.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31.-In the Anderson
trial Mr. Franklin, supervisor of registration in
Vernon parish, was recalled and said all other
alterations of consolidated statements besides
those relative to Presidential electors were at
poll and poll 9. All votes cast at poll were
for the constitutional amendments, none
against them. The returns produced in court
show SO votes against the amendments. At
poll similar change of 81 votes is made,
when the entire vote there was for the amend
ments. Franklin testified that the return he
forwarded showed that Elan for Congress and
Nichols and others conservatives for state
offices received the entire vote cast at poll
while the returns produced in court show 81
votes for the Republican candidates for the
same offices at that poll. He said that the rec
ord had been changed in the I'd and 9th polls
and the total amount of votes cast The total
east for electors was then changed as follows:
The Democratic electors received 645 votes and
the Republican total was 2; also for members of
Congress Elan 649 and one for Smith. These
figures have been changed.
Hon. L. Texada corToborated the statement
of the previous witness as to the alteration of
returns from polls and after they reached
the office of Secretary of State.
Two other witnesses testified that the
returns had been altered, and two experts ex-
planned the clumsy manner in which it was
done, to the jury.
