The Fall River Strike

FALL RIVER, July 17.-To-day begins the
fourth To- week Of the strike at Fall River, and
for aid A large crowd gathered about the
spinners' hall this morning under a mistaken
idea that there was to be general meeting
The officers of the unonwere busyall day filling
out orders for assistance. They state no regu-
lar sum to be given, but orders are issued to
meet the wants of individual cases. No money
orders will be given, and all assistance will be
grocery orders. Orders will not be given until
tomorrow morning, as the day has been occu-
pied in hearing cases. Several spinners arrived
yesterday, and as result the Robson mill is
running on full time this morning. This
makes the fourth mill reported running, and
more expect to fill up before the close of the.
week.

Chastine Cox Convicted of Murder and

Chastine Cox Convicted of Murder and
Sentenced to be Hanged.
New YORK, July 1.-THE jury in the case
of Chastine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull,
returned verdict of murder in the first
degree The jury was out an hour and ten
minutes The prisoner appeared utterly I'M
moved but his face blanched when the verdict
was announced. Cox's counsel except.
After reading the verdict Cox in reply to
the judge said he had nothing to say. Judge
Cowing then said:
Chastine Cox 1 would fain believe that the
smile which has been on you countenance
during the trial was not in your heart. Let
me urge upon you not to hang your hopes ON
the slender chance of pardon, but to spend the
short time yet left you in preparing for that
change which must soon come. You COM
mitted horrible crime and showed no mercy
to your victim. The sentence of the court is
that you be taken to the Tombs and there
confined until the 2Sth of August and then
hanged in the prison yard between 8 a. m. and
4 p. M, by the neck until you are dead, and
may God have mercy on your soul and grant
you that pardon in the next world which the
we'll being of society refuse in this.
The prisoner was then taken to the tombs by
the sheriff followed by large crowd.

More from Toombs.
His Impressions of Our Presidents and
Great Orators of the Past.

In his conversation with correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times Gen. Robert Toombs
said
"All in all, Mr.. Webster was the greatest
man L ever knew. Not the most eloquent, but
the greatest. AS regulator of men Clay was
his superior, and on occasions Clay was as elo-
quent as man could be. Calhoun was the
greatest logician 1 ever knew. 1t may seem
strange, but the two most eloquent men | ever
heard were Yankees-Choate and Prentiss.
They were Incompatible. PrentiSs was the
most eloquent, probably; but Choate was the
best debater. | saw Choate and Webster
pitted once, and to Webster's discontinue. In
those days our statesmen were much better
scholars than they are now. There was less
general education, but higher special educa-
ton. The greatest Southerner L ever knew,
and probably the greatest man ever produced
by the South, was McDuffe, and the most elo-
quent Southerner, w. G. Preston, both Caro-
linians.7 No, Sir McDufiie was a Georgian
and Preston Virginian. Randolph was a re-
markable man. but depended more upon his
eccentric, unique manner than upon his real
greatness. w. L. Yancey was emphatically
firSt-claSS talker."
"What is your opinion of the Presidents

Washington, Jefferson, and the elder Adams.
saw jackson inaugurated and sat by Quincy
Adams when he died. 1 was not intimate,
perhaps, WIFI flerc6, Ine DeSJ gentleman OF
them all; he did not have any special force, but
was clever and correct. Mr.. Fillmore was
fine scholar and an honest man. He asked me
to join his Cabinet, and offered me the Secre-
taryship of the Treasury. 1 declined to accept
it, and suggested GOV. Jenkins of Georgia as a
proper man. He then offered jenkins the Ma
Wy, which was declined. Mr.. Taylor had al
ready offered me the Secretaryship of War,
which declined, suggesting George w. Craw-
ford, who was appointed. Taylor was the most
ignorant President of them all. 1t was amaz-
ing how little he knew. He was soldier and
nothing else. Van Buren, was the most accom-
plished statesman, but he was not broad man.
He was shrewd rather than sagacious or wise.
Tyler was great at a female seminary COM
mencement or cattle show. He was pretty
speaker, you know. When he was elected to
go and deliver the address of welcome to La
fayette Webster said to me that he never knew
man who could make pretty speech that
was fit for much else, and this TRUTH 1 think,
goes without exception. Tyler was very elo-
quent and finished, however old Buck was
good President, a fine statesman in a small
way, and an unequalled leader of small bodies

of its battles, until at Gettysburg, when
Sickless command was endeavoring to check
General Longstreet's charge he was wounded.
He was shot through the leg with musket
ball, and while lying on the battlefield his
other leg was carried off by shell. He re-
manned on the field fifteen hours without care,
and was near to death when discovered. Both
legs were amputated on the field, one below
the knee, the other above it. He lay eigh-
teen months in bed before he could make use
of artificial limbs He now walks without 9
crutch, using stout canes. In 1869 he was ap-
pointed doorkeeper of the Senate gallery,
and has been in charge of the ladies' gallery
ever since. He was Republican soldier, but
was not politician. He was modest, I'M
assuming young man, of irreprsachabe char
acter and exemplary habits, and most eff
cient officer. Tuesday he wrote to a friend in
" ashington that he had received official no.
tice from the Secretary of the Senate stating
that his services are no longer required. 1t is
by such tokens as these that the Democratic
Senators are redeeming their promises of
friendship to the Union soldier.

New YORK, July ia news letter pub
lished at Kingston, jamaica July 3, says:
We learn by steamer Jamaican, which ar
rived yesterday from Port au Prince, that in
consequence of dispute in the House of Rep
resentatives, the brother of the President was
shot by another member who took offense at
the language which had been used. Caval,
though wounded in the arm, returned the fire
and shot his opponent, when a general firing
followed and the populace and police outside
fired into the building. The President of the
Senate and others were Shot down, and when
the Jamaican left for this port, government
troops were raking the streets with mitrail-
leuSe.
The same paper, July 8, says:
By arrival of steamer Etna from Port au
Prince, Sunday, July 6, we learn that a serious
fire occurred in that place Monday the Both.
The fire originated from the firing of shells in
the town, and several blocks of buildings were
burned and number of lives lost and many
persons wounded, the inhabitants having to
take refuge in the hills. A widespread revolu-
ton is considered imminent. Several deputies
of the chamber belonging to the Liberal party
who arrived on the steamer from Gounaves,
finding revolution in the town of Port au
Prince, returned to Gounaves at once by the
German steamer Saxonia, to take up arms
against the National party. When the Etna
left Port au Prince the custom house was
closed and all business suspended and the
place still burning.

American business recovered, through re-
sumption, complete connection with the great
money markets of Europe. Our currency,
though seriously threatened by the silver law.
is, for the present, of the highest efficiency
The redeemable greenback binds us to the gold
standard of the financial world, and so secure
ly, that nothing save our own egregious folly
can sever the tie. While the knot holds, the
movements of the chief banks of Europe are,
and will remain, matter of deep concern to
both the debtor and the creditor classes in this
country. If money should become tight in
Lombard street, the stringency would be re-
fected to Wall streetin some degree without
delay On the other hand the existing super
abundance of unemployed capital in all foreign
markets is positive guarantee of low interest
to American borrowers, for it insures the
means and an opportunity to develop sound
enterprise on either side of the Atlantic.
1t will be seen by the figures which we pre-
sent below that, in the financial centres abroad
all the signs point in one direction. A steady
wind is blowing the whole bundle of straws
toward easy money The following table
shows the enormous boards of the precious
metals, chiefly Of gold, gathered by the great
state banks of Europe since the beginning of

reported by six central blanks on January and
