for sending pamphlet called Cupid S

pamphlet is foolish argument against
marriage. 1t is not obscene, but simply
silly. 1t was written by man named
Haywood. believe in the institution OF
marriage. That institution will endure
as long as men love women and women
love men; and such is my confidence IN
that institution that | do not believe It
can be interfered with by the publication
Of an idiotic pamphlet. A man who
abuses his wife and makes his home a
hell, does more to bring marriage into
dispute thsn all the pamphlets. that will
be written. blamed Bennett for hay-
ing anything to do with the book, as he
did not believe, as | understood, in the
principles it advocated. He was tried
and convicted. read the book and the
account Of his trial, and was convinced
that his conviction was illegal. j hated
TO have ANYTHING TO do with the matter,
but, being convinced that he was illegal
ly convicted, felt it to be my duty TO ask
for his pardon. l did this without the
expectation Of fee or reward. / did the
best could to have him pardoned, and

THE CONSULAR SYSTEM.
Itz Value to American Com
merce-An Interview with the
Secretary

J. Riley Weaver. Consul General OF
the United States for Austria and Hun.
gary, called upon the Secretary OF State
prior 20 his return to his post. The
Secretary in course OF the conversation
alluded to the consular service as now
apprONimating his idea of its proper
usefulness and efficiency, and mention
ed his satisfaction with the replies re-
Ceived to his circulars respecting the
trade and commerce between the nitcd
States and foreign countries, and speCll-
ically the articles of American manuiac.
ture for which there might be Il foreign
market. He also expressed his apprO-
baton of the very able official reports
from the consular officers of the United
States IN the countries named on the
rate OF wages paid to laborcrs and the
cost Of living OF the laboring class, COM
parison of wages for five years immcdi.
ately preceding, and the state of trade in
Great Britain, France, Germany, Bel
gium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands,
Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The
Secretary remarked to the Consul Gen
eral that, judging from the unexpected
demands from all classes OF the people
the information which was embodied
in the department publication on the
state OF labor in Europe in 1873, con-
tanning these reports, was fully appreci-
ated. The Secretary regards the COM
mercial interests of the country as OF
paramount importance, and with the
revival Of ipdgStry at home he thinks,
by an extension OF our commercial rela-
tions, the establishment of extended in
tercOurse with American ships, and the
opening OF new markets for American
products, that the reaction caused by
over-production will in the future be
averted. He thought that this new era
of business prosperity should be the Oc-
casiOn Tor building up all our interests
and placing the United States in the
front rank if not the first of commercial
and manufacturing nations OF the globe.
The flattering outlook has been predict
ed by both Gladstone and Bright and
other distinguished economists OF the
old world, and Mr.. Evarts is determined
TO use the machinery OF his department
i'm bringing about the realization OF these
predictians.
Consul General Weaver will sail IRON
Philadelphia on the Red Star line for
Antwerp on Thursday next. He is a
native of Westmoreland county, Penn
sylvania, but some years ago he left hls
native State to accept the ProiessOrship
OF Mathematics and Military Instruc-
ton at the University Of West Virginia
He wrs appointed by General Grant
into the consular service ten years ago
at Antwerp, and was promoted by Sec
retary Evarts to the Consulate General
at Vienna.

She finally became iast in some mire near

birch-hark that grew on the bushes
within her reach. She was obliged 10
drink the dirty water IN which she
stood. On the seventh day she gave up
all hopes of Rescue, but on the morning
OF the eighth day she hail prcSeutmcnt

ribir death which Threatened her. Mr.

From what We now hear there Is q
better prospect than ever before for the
completion OF this road. In many places
along the propOs,n line farmers are Of

men: The reduction of the number
would not reduce expenses, as they re-
ceive no salary. BY reducing the num-
Der OF wards some expenses OF election
would be saved. But with the varied
local interests OF our city, each and all
should be represented in council, so
that each interest, when submitted TO
the whole, is by interest legislated for to
the benefit of all.
As TO fire companies: Our fire COM
panies are only volunteer. Their ex-
pense is but small, and any effort TO re-
duce the number, or not keep them up,
would be false economy. Without an
effective fire company, our city might
be, and in some instances since the or
ganizatiOn OF our fire company, would
have been in ashes. At present it is
well organized and effective, and ought
10 be maintained.
The roof of one of the buildings con-
nected with the Belaire nail works
caught fire from defective fiue yester-
day, but was put out without calling
out the department. But little damage
was done.

seriously indisposed, is again able to be

his cheeks, and claim him for its own

THE THIRD TERN
WHICH WILL Be RENDERED GENERAL
GRANT.
Presidency Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company at a Salary Of Fifty Thou
sand Dollars Per Year
Will He Accept

WASHINGTON, October 3l.-The New
York Sun OF to-day has a communica-
ton from Philadelphia over the initials
81. W. F." which are said here to be
John w. Forney, to the following effect:
al have Just learned from an authen-
tic source that the Presidency Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be
rendered to General Grant Immediately
upon his reaching this city, and that ii
he signifies his willingness to accept, lac
will be unanimously elected TO that po-
sition. The Presidency of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad Company, in the event OF
its being gconferred upon Gen. Grant, will
carry with it the Presidency Of the Tex
as Pacific Company. This proposed
change is due TO the physical condition
of Colonel Thomas A. Scott. His para
lytic stroke has left him so wholly in
capable of performing active duties that
the hour or two spent at the Pennsyl-
vania railroad Office two or three times
a week, are given at the risk of his life.
His only reason for continuing in Office
Is to secure a suitable successor before
ne retires.
"The City OF Philadelphia owns
S3, 900, 900 worth of stock Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, and in
consequence. elects annually two
directors to represent the inter
est OF the city in that Company. These
two Directors will be instructed by
vote of the Council OF the city to vote
for General Grant for President OF the
Company, and as Col. Scott and all the
remaining directors favor Grant, his
election will, therefore, be made without
a dissenting voice. The salary of the
Office is S35, 900 year, and it is proba-
bic that at the annual meeting in March
a resolution will be carried directing that
it be increased to $4,000. OF the prob
ability of Grants acceptance ] can say
nothing; but OF the desire to have him
serve as President OF the Company, and
OF the determination to tender it to him,
there can be no mistake"
