An immense cOncourse of people

10 o'clock, the galleries of the large
court room were Immediately filled,
The three Judges were promptly on
hand, and Herr Fesseron, the famous
Prussian prosecuting attorney, moved
that the important case which he
would now call up be tried with clos

loud manifestations of displeasure,
but the court ordered the galleries to
be cleared. Five minutes later every
spectator had left the court room and,

press themselves as follows on the val

IF what you have to say be strictly
true, say it 10 good newspaper. Its
readers are intelligent. will appreciate

you make an advertiser. For forty
seven years nine tenths of our adver-
Using has been done on this plan, and
of the whole expenditure, all that we
regret is contained in the other ter tn.
At recent convention of the stuve
manufacturers, held st Detroit, Mich,
the president said: IF We would make
the best possible use of our money, we
should patronize ably conducted and
responsible newspapers. The newspa-
per is immeasurably the best medium
opan to our trade; the most liberal
and expert advertisers testify to its
value, and in the employment Of its
columns we would find means Of es

Messrs. Lord & Taylor. the eminent

of newspaper advertising, say:
"Of all the methods open to the

ALuckX Field DAY.

Sherman Texas) Register: A farmer
named John Daniels, resident OF the mid
die portion of Hunt county, called on us this
morning, and with his face wreathed IN
pleasant smiles, related an account of lucky
haul he made from mother earth last fourth
of July. He said he let his wife take the old
gray mare and wagon to take the children to
a fourth of July frollc In a neighborlng grove,
while he remained at home to celebrate the
day by grubbing an old knarly stump out of
his field. While working away at one of the
roots, about "a foot and half below the sur
face, his pick struck something hard, which
on further investigation proved to be an old
iron pot, over the month of which a piece OF
well-tanned buffalo hide was stretched and
tied down with piece OF rawhlde IN per-
feet state of preservation. He took out his
pocket-knife, npped open the cover, and to
his great astonishment his eyes met snug
little pile of silver money. On removing the
silver, which consisted of Mexican and Amer
lean half dollars and quarters, and about a
double handful of dimes and FIVE cent pieces,
in all four hundred and twenty-six dollars,
he came upon bonanza of fifteen twenty
dollar gold pieces. On top of the money
was an old silver goblet, severely dented
from hard usage, evidently an old family
relic, on one SIDE of which was engraved {:
ITO John Myrick. From his mother" 1t
seems that during the war family named
Myrick did live in that neighborhood; but
what became of them, or what was the cause
of their sudden departure, no one can imag-
inc, and probably no one will ever know.

OUR colored readers Will End on the second
page of this issue detailed account of the
trip Of the ship Azor, which recently sailed
from Charleston, South Carolina, with large
number of colored emigrants for Liberia.
The writer was an eyewitness OF all that he
describes. and his statements, anything bat
reassuring to intending emigrapts, may be
implicitly relied upon. Tomorrow we will
publish further details, in which serioss
charge is made against the captain of the
British mail steamer Ethiopia-namely, that
after having agreed to tow them from Sierra
Leone 10 Monrovia he abandoned them to
their fate. Altogether the expedition was
probably the worst managed that ever left
one of our ports, and is in every way that it
can be viewed-the voyage and the ultimate
fate of those who composed tia warning to
all the negroes of the south to let well
enough alone and be content with the OPP
portuuities they have here.

SIBERIAN
1 CIOseted with the New York Syndicate
In Regard to the Operations or
the Treasury Department..

New YORK, July 11.-Secretary Sherman
met the members of the syndicate to-day.
They had a conference with him in regard to
the operations of the treasury department in
preparing for the resumption of specie pay
mel. The secretary stated that he had no
new loans to offer and no measures to pro-
pose. He expressed the belief that with the
aid of shipments of coin from Europe which
are looked for during the year, the gold pre-
MUM would gradually disappear before the
time when the treasury would be able to re-
deem legal tender notes, and perhaps before
congress assemblies in December. Sherman
said the coin in the treasury was amply sui
ficent for the purposes of resumption, and
that he would make no further sales of bonds
on this account. The members of the syndl-
cate expressed themselves as being in ac-
cord with these views. and pledged
themselves to assist him IN car
rying out the resumption act.
Later on in the day Secretary Sherman
had conference with prominent bank off
Gals, and the conversation was similar to the
above He SAID he was about to pay out sill
yer freely, and desired the banks to work in
harmony with the treasury department, and
this they assured him they would do.

BRUTAL BIGOTRY
Determined to Run Riot In the Streets
OF Montreal To-Day in COmmemOra-

MONTREAL, July 1.-The mayor has
given his ultimatum to the effect that he
will carry out his proclamation and prevent
the procession from taking place. For this
purpose he will swear in FIVE hundred special
constables. He has marched large body
of police to Orange hall, oo st James street.
where they are stationed in front OF the
building, with force of detectives inside
searching for arms. A vast crowd collected.
Observing the situation, the Irish Catholics
assembled in Union hall to consider what
action they will take. The attendance
is immense, and the excitement intense.
Three of the magistrates who signed the
requisltiop to call out the military had an in
terview with General Smyth, to learn his
views as to the course he. will adopt, in pros
pect of conflict of action between the mayor
and magistrates. He said his first desire was
to preserve the peace; he would take his or
ders, however, from the magistrates. Mat
tiers are now in a more complicated condition
than ever, and no one can tell what may &C.

Socialist scare in Germany.

The Socialist scare continues in Germany.
A young man travelling for Slleslan paper
house happened to be talking to customer
in Berlin, when the customers wife said,
my, how much you resemble Noblingl You
might be taken for him. " as that so?' said
the young man, j 'stingly; then L must re-
semble a very handsome man." Next day
he was arrested and locked up. M. l.. Rigou-
dand, Berlin correspondent of the Paris SOteit,
was arrested for Cooking wickedly at the
Column of Victory" He was Immediately
released, of course, but the incident is signif-
can't. There is a sadder case-that of Herr
Loewensteip, a furniture dealer, who COM
mitted suicide in prison, having been unable
to brook the disgrace of being led manacled
through the streets. He denied emphatically
having used the seditious expressions attrlb-
uted to him, and it came out afterward that
he was innocent and had been denounced by
personal enemy. Altogether, things IN the
German capital remind US of the witty Paris
ian pageant described, we think, by Lord
Albemarle) where, in the scene representing
the reign of terror, the dancers, crying, Ia
m 'eS suspect" marched each other Oft TILL
only one was left, who seized himself by the
throat and, shouting, 'Je me suis suspect!
denounced himself and danced himself OH to
prison. Indeed, the only sensible man IN the
German empire seems to be a Bavarian tav-
ern-k keeper who, when an inebrlate guest be-
gan babbing bloodthirstiy and beerily that
''it served the kaiser right, took him by
the collar and launched him into the street
| with three tremendous kicks, administered
sin the name of the emperor, of the king o.
| Bavaria and of the German people"

GENERAL SHERMAN, in letter to the COM
mission charged with the duty Of taking tee.
timony as TO the reorganization Of the army,
takes the view that in a republic, where the
civil power is weak, the reserve, or military
power, should be strong. He believes that
the military should cooperate with the civil
authority in defined statutory anti constitu-
tional limits. rather than by forms of usage
or precedent. He does not suggest any ina
terial changes in the personal and admins
tfative features OF the army as it now exists,
but recommends, if changes are made, that
an equality in all branches of the service
shall be maintained. The general, in his
letter, takes exceptions 70 the composition Of
the joint committee on reorganization, and
says that Generals Banning and Bragg are
hostile to the army as it at present exists-a
plain intimation that they are too lopsided
to be just judges.
