AS the end of the fiscal year is at

items of interest might be picked up
at the several departments Of thegov-
eminent, hence they were all visited
yesterday and To-day, and to the
courtesy of the efficient "heads" are

officer, and they were handled very
roughly. One of them was knocked
down and another dragged over the
uack of seat and choked. The SER
vices were suspended, and all hands
took part in the melee. The ladies
stood upon the seats and encouraged
their male friends by singing, '1Iold
the Fort" rnd pelting the hard
pressed committeeman with hymn
books, testaments and everything
else they could lay hands on. Sew
eral of them in their excitement fell
oil the seats ON the floor, and were
trampled on by the combatnnts and
severely injured.
Finally Judge Fishers stentorian
shouts for "order" brought a lull,
though not until an excited lady, by
a well-directed blow with hymn
book, had drawn the claret from the
Roman nose of the venerable Judge.
After order was restored, Ellis and
his wife offered prayers too irrever-
ent and .blasphemOus TO give in de-
tail. Vainly did the committee, Judge
and police officer endeavor TO break
up 'nc nicctiup, NhhNll HtHltu tlii az

wretches of the devil, you look as
though you had but now hoped up
out Of hell, and the devil had stuck
you up against the fence TO dry. 1t
would make Gods stomach sick TO

The meeting broke up without
further fighting. II is understood
that several of the parties are TO be
arrested and prosecuted as disturb
ers of the peace. The parties impli-
Gated are from the highest society in
the place, and their conduct causes
much scandal.

WOODSTOCK, Conn, Aug, 3d.
This quiet village, which Is best
known to New Workers and Brook
lynitcs ms the home of Henry G.
Bowen of Plymouth scandal fame
was treated yesterday TO a decided
sensation, in which u church and a
preacher figured Us discreditably as
Brooklyn itself could have desired.
The Rev. w. II. Ellis of Worces-
ter, Mass, who claims TO have been
an Evangelist for the last twelve years,
has for several summers been in the
habit of holding somewhat noisy re-
ligious services in u tent in this vii
lage much to the annoyance of the
public in general, and neighboring
residents in particular. Ellis utter
ances have been so coarse and BIAS
phemous, and his gatherings so dis
orderly, that he and his followers
have become extremely unpopular,
and cards have appeared in the local
papers dcnOuncing him as a hypocrite
and a fraud.
by soiue means, yesterday, he Sc
cured the Congregational Church,
wherein he intended to hold n meet
ing. The house was well filed with
his admirers and followers. This
fact coming TO the knowledge Of the
Church Committee, they Immediate
" took steps to break up the gather
ing. Securing the services of Judge
Fisher and & polioe officer, they re-
paired 10 the church. The Meeting
was well under way when they ar
rived, so they waited for a conven-
lent time during the services. Ellis,
learning their mission, undertook TO
lock the doors, but not until some OF
the committee and'the police officer
got inside Ellis from the pulpit an
nounced that he wonld "stiek there
against all the powers of hell and the
devils imps who were trying TO dis
lodge him."
Fired by this declaration, .some OF
Ellis friends nearest the door imme.

From Major John L. Jones, com
mander of the Frontier Battalion, il
is learned that the reorganization of
his command, Of which u good deal
has been said, simply means the re-
. enlistment of the men for another
year. Their terms of service begins
and ends with the fiscal year, and
those wishing TO romain in the SER
vice, are on the LIST. of September re-
enlisted. Commissioned officers are
not affected by this and no promo
lions are expected, as no designations
have been received. "Rcmoval for

Siylo- is beaten. Tie was q Eoru4iG
able aspirant for the spezkersbip of
the House. Potter, who proposed to
GUST Hayes and insert Sammy TIlden,
gees how are the mighty fallen, aud
declines the nomination Tor Congress.
Randall will be beaten for Congress, so
thinks the Philadelphia Times, and
there are left, of prominent aspirants
for the Speakers chair, S. s. Cox AID
Blackburn, of Kentucky. Because Of
these facts John Harcock's candida
ture for Congress in Texas becomes
matter of national impor', and the In
telligent press and people OF all the
States are watching, with a degree of
interest never known before, the con-
duct Of the people of the capital
district of Texas. We would dis
honor ourselves and lose caste If John
Hancock were beaten by Wash Jones.
Hancock's chances for the speakership
are confessed by the Courier-Journal,
and the more unwIllingly when all
Kentuckians demand the elevation of
Blackburn or Proctor Knott to the
lofty position which personal qualities
and history and solid G cd seEse would
assign to John Htncnck.

GOVERNOR 1HRocKMoRT0N, in his
speech at Crockett, declared the
proposition that the government nay
mike money by stamping paper,
thus making an irredeemable currency
aud forcing it upon the people, the
most absurd of al ideas. He called
attention to the sacredness OF cor
tracts; that the Constitution in Its
original draft, as it came from the
hands of the fathers, was careful to
provide that 10 state should pass a
law to impair the obligation Of con-
tracts; that the integrity of the ma
ton, as we'll as individuals, was invol-
we'd in the matter, and it would be q
humiliating spectacle indeed to see any
great number of citizens organic I'd
into political party, seeking to con-
troll the destinies of this great nation
with motto emblazoned upon their
banner that they sought to repudiate
the obligations OF contracts, either of
individuals, of the State or nation.
Confederate money was baptized in
blood and sustained by the hopes of
millions of freemen, banded together
in heroic struggle for their indepen-
dence, and yet, said the Ex-Governor,
he had paid 5000 of TINS mosey for a
hat. This Confederate money he pro-
nounced better than that which it is
proposed to make, because it was re-
ceived on the promise of the Confeder-
ate States that it would be redeemed
and paid in gold and silver.

to be at Austin at least on the thirty

CONSIDERABLE space Is given 70 what
the Burnett Bulletin has to say of Judge
Terrell. He made, as will be seen, o
telling speech at Barnet, and reviewed
most ably State as we'll as national
policies. While Dir. Bentley has q
great deal to say about money, which,
he should remember, is the root of all
evil, and should therefore keep clear
of 1t, he fails to tell what he would do
as Texas legislator. Were he shoot
ing at the same game as Wash
Jones this would do, but the pco-
pie would have preferred to hear
from him about S:s,e taxes, and about
Scott's land grant aud about other
home questions, which he does not aud
has never talked of. Probably Mr..
Bentley would make the race 10 1880

THOSE DIsPAToHLs.-IrIs SAD.

Those dispatches to and from TIL
den's friends in New York and Florida,
and those just published in the Tribune
having reference 10 the ''count" in
South Carolina show an unquestiona-
bic purpose to buy the presidency.
South Carolina was Democratic. We
sememberit was SAID that Hampton
sold Tilden to secure the governors
place. Nobody questioned the fact
that the State voted for Hayes, but
hampton was uujustly blamed for it.
But now the private cipher dispatches
ere printed which, sent by Col. Potion
On Mr.. H4vsrmeyer, tell 8. ii. Weed,
Tilden's manager IN South Carolina,
that the money be demands can be
Forwarded. The first sum asked for
vas Only $50. 600 which was increased
10 SO, 900. This last amour, IT seems,
vas forwarded but stopped at Bald-
moro when it was agreed to buy Chief
Justice Noses, get mandamus and
have the returning board incarcerated
and prevent the votes being counted at
al. To do all this it was necessary to
hny four State Senator'S. These failed to
aell out and thus failed to cooperate
aud the whole scheme was abandoned.
One OF the dispatches of Weed to
Havemeyer or Psltor says: "Msjon-
