The contest between Linegar and Rt-
tenhouse for the right to possess and hold
the aldermanship of the Second ward was
commenced in earnest yesterday morning,
every thing hitherto accomplished having
beenof preliminary nature. Thos. Gazzoa
voted for Lincgar, end it was clearly estab-
lished that Thomas was not citizen of the
United States. The Legality OF the votes
thrown by John d. Deering and Robert
Smyth having been questioned they were
shown to be legal voters by very conclusive
proof. Fred Hofheipg's right to vote is a
question that must be decided by the court.
Iustus Neif, who voted at the election had
previously informed VIM. McIlale that he
was not citizen Of the United States,
William Foy voted, although on the pre-.
vious November he told William Harrcll
that he was just from st. Louis Tho
legality of the vote cast by William II.
Pell was called in question, and left in
doubt. A man by the name Of John vii.
liams voted in the Second ward. INQUIRY
failed toreveal the presence Of sad voter
in that division Of the city. O.hcrevidcpcc
Of the same character was introduced I'm,
we have not the space at our command to
give 1t place. Mr.. LinegOr, attorney for
himself objected TO oil the TESTIMONY in.

character and the Right Honorable the
President said: In all the long letters
which have been produced and read dur
ing this trial, in no one instance do | find
Mr.. Hall departing from that line of con,
duct which the high-minded man would
pursue. He has dealt with his wife with
the tenderest consideration In this tri-
umph of his virtue my sister partici-

London Telegraph.I
GaribaldTs suit for a divorce from his
wife, the Contessa Raimondi, has been
for some time past leading topic of
conversation in Italian society. Com
paratively little has been said or written
about it in England, where the Liberator
is still held in such sincere respect that it
is deemed desirable to avoid calling pub
lie attention too persistently to his
family misfortunes. But certain curious
details have recently come to light
respecting Luigi Carroll, Signorina Raj
mondi's first lover, who carried off the
Generals young bride on the very day of
her marriage, which are sufficiently in
teresting in themselves to merit repro
duction. Unable to remain in Italy
after having brought disgrace upon his
kind friend and chief, Carroll fled to Po-
land with Nullo, and joined the insur-
gents under Langiewicz. During the
first encounter that took place be-
tween the National Army" and
the Russian forces, after Carroll
and Nullo had entered the insurrection-
ary camp, Fullo was killed and Carroll
was taken prisoner. Tried for his life at
Warsaw, he was sentenced to perpetual
banishment in Siberia. As soon as the
melancholy news of his sentence reached
Bergamo, his native place, his sister, the
Countess Agliardi, FASTENED to ST. Peters
burg, where she obtained audience Of the
Gar, threw herself at His Majesty's feet
and besought him to pardon her unfortu-
nate brother. Her prayer granted, and
written order to set Carroll at liberty
was given into her own hands by the En-
peror, with permission to convey it in
person to the place of CAROLS exile. She
at once started for Siberia, and travelled
day and night until she reached the dis
trict in which her brother was interned,
only, however, to find that he had died a
few days before her arrival. Caroli's son,
whom Garibaldi refuses to recognize, is
now living in Como with his mother, who
has assumed the title of Marchesa Raj
mondi. As the Italian law actually
stands, this child is the only heir to the
Generals pension, granted him for two
lives; all his own undoubted otfsprings
being illegitimate.

Some Minute.books.


Of the High Court of Commission Laud
was the Chief Judge and moving spirit
and from the punishments inflicted by it,
what were the grievances complained OF,
and the light in which they were regarded.
Turning over the pages of these minute
books we read how certain vestryman
were fined G10 for their misconduct in
publishing a new table of church fees;
how the Kings printers were fined e300
"for errors in printing the Bible;" how
one Nathaniel Barnard was fined FL 900
for seditious preaching at st. Mary's Col
lege, Cambridge; how the Lady Eleanor
Touchet was fined $500 for publishing
fauatical pamphlets" how Amy
Green was fined $4,000, "sub-
ject to consideration for notorious
adultery" how John Lavercock, clerk,
was imprisoned in Bridewell for "preach-
ing in London without license, and lead
ing vicious life;" how Henry Deane of
Greenwich, fisherman, was committed to
Newgate for receiving men and young
women to be transported beyond the seas
without leave" And then we read of
the punishment and penances that were
inflicted upon men guilty of fragrant i'm
morality; of contempt of court and re-
fusal to pay wages to their curates of
preaching after deposition and degrade
ton; of building houses upon conse-
Grated land; of cock-fghting taking place
in front of the communicable before
an admiring audience of villagers; of
hindering the officers of the court in the
performance of their duty; of circulating
Popish tracts and the like; records of
offenses which afford us no little informal
tion as to the state of morality and the
social customs of the AGE.

Many persons will be interested, and
many more, perchance, considerably as
tonished to learn that an efigy of Julius
Caesar has recently been added to the Ma
tional Portrait Gallery. The pleasing
circumstance is duly recorded in the
twenty-second annual report of the
Trustees to the Lords Commissioners of
Her Majesty's Treasury, and from this
instructive document we likewise learn
that the nation has come into possession
of portraits among numerous Others, of
Lord Bacon, Richard Baxter, Thomas
BrittQn, the musical small coal man."
Geofrey Chaucer, Archbishop Cranmer,
Oliver Cromwell, the Duke of Cumber-
land-who is politely styled Hero
of Culloden in the catalogue-An-
drew Marvel, st. Evremond, "Cyclo-
pedia" Rees, Humphry Wanley, of the
" World of Wonders;;'' General Lord
Cults, popularity known as "the Salaman-
DER" "La Belle Hamilton" who married
Count de Grammont; Thomas Holcroft
the dramatist, and Lodowick Muggleton,
founder of the sect of pietists called
Muggletonians. But how, it may be
asked, did julius Caesar obtain admission
to this miscellaneous but eminently dis
tinguished company? 1t is a matter of
history that, on the 26th of August, B. G.
55, Julius Caesar, with the infantry of two
legions cast anchor off the British coast
somewhere between Dover and Deal. We
have all heard how the standard bearer of
the Tenth Legion leaped with his eagle
into the sea, calling on his comrades to
follow him; how there was a fierce COM
bat on the beach between the Roman
invaders and our ancestors; and how
Caesar, albeit he gained the struggle,
found the ancient Britons, all naked
savages as they were, remarkably tough
customers.
Looking at the season of the year at
which this engagement occurred, Caesar
probably wore the full panoply of Ro-
man General minus only those panta-
looms which were subsequently intro.
duced into the imperial wardrobe by his
nephew, the chilly and rheumatic Au
gllstus; but at the first blush it may be
somewhat perplexing to learn from the
catalogue already referred to that the Ju
Illus Caesar in the National Portrait Gal
lery wears "a tall cap trimmed witt
white lace receding from the forehead
and an elaborate lace ruff" 1t is added
that the countenance of Julius wears {
benevolent expression, that he was cele
brated for his charity, All eminent anti

he had been looking at the lanterns on

While DR.. Mosely, the Boston noun
tain-climber, was facing death on the
Matterhorn, another tragedy was enact
ing on the side of Breil. A guide, named
Joseph Brandschen, from St., Nicholas,
and been engaged to accompany party
of tourists who proposed to ascend the
Matterhorn by the Italian side and de-
scend to Zermatt. The poor fellow was
far from we'll at the time, but he had a
wife and six children, and the price Of
fered him, $50 francs, was an
inducement he could not resist.
During the journey his illness in
creased, and by the time the party ar
rived near the cabin above Breil his con-
dition became 50 serious that he found it
impossible to 90 further, notwithstand-
ing that two of his companions did all
they could to help him. In this emer-
gcncy there was nothing for it but to lead
him to the cabin, place a supply of pro-
visions within his reach and promise to
return shortly from Zermatt with suffi-
cient assistance to carry him to his home.
This promise was faithfully and promptly
kept; the guides went back to the cabin
with the necessary help, but only to find
poor Brandschen dead.

A California railway engineer had a
narrow escape from bottomless pit
fortnight ago. He had charge of con-
struction train and was hauling gravel.
A short distance out of Benicia, and
beyond the Government Point, is piece
of tule land. Thousands and thousands
of yards of dirt were thrown upon it
when the road was built, and yet in a
short time, even during the night, out of
sight the whole would go. At last the
road was ballasted and the track laid, and
the railroad authorities were smiling at
the thought of having their road in
good working order by the 1st of Septem-
ber. The engineer noticed that the earth
had a depressed appearance, but he was
50 far advanced that it was impossible to
stop, and having on powerful head of
steam, he opened the valve and went
rushing over the dangerous place, and at
the same time felt the ground settling un-
der the train. In moment they were
over the morass, and upon checking the
engine the men on the train looked back,
and for distance of over three hundred
feet they saw the ground, the ties and the
track in one vast body sink down into
The bottomless pit distance of fifty feet.

Good News for DIR. Crosby.

At large hotel in London frequented
by English and Americans calculation
was recently made to discover which ma
tionality spent on an average the most.
1t was found that the Americans are
more economical than we are, because as
a rule they drink no wine at dinner. We
English are in the habit of ordering wine
at restaurant or hotel 'for the good of
the house" Nothing can be more alb
surd, and the sooner that we give up this
practice the sooner shall we cease to be
fools. In the course of my life l have
done many silly actions and l have cr-
dered many bottles of wine for my own
good, but | never ordered one for the
good of the vendor. One might just as
well buy costly hat-box for the good of
the halter when one buys hat.
