fore Judge Pierce in the circuit
court, wherein Ball was plaintiff and
E. Whitmore defendant, he had cross
examined the witnesses and not a

charged in the Ball perjury indict-
ment, which is that of permitting
lewd women TO enter his house
for the purposes Of assignation
aud prostitution with bis, Balls
full knowledge and consent, and which
Ball afterward denied in the witness
box. 1t is enough to say in, rebuttal
as the lawyers have it, that Mr.. Ran
dolph misstated. the facts. On the
contrary witnesses did give numerous
names Of men and woman in
the European hotel, where the
alleged orgies we're held, and various
other points which Mr.. Randolph
said had not been disclosed. All of
this will doubtless be brought out in
the forthcoming trial Of Mr.. Ball for
perjury. Perhaps Mr.. Ran

81. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE
naval superintendent Of the Russian
Black sea feet is in St. Petersburg,
to receive instructions. The circum-
stance is noticed, in connection with
rumors that the French and English
fleets are going to Besika bay.
The Bereg, pursuing its plan Of
counter-active nihilism by exposing
its aims, publishes a programme of the
Russian Jewish socialists, which de-
clares that the Russian system Of gov
ernment cannot be reformed, and
must therefore be destroyed. Their
present tactics, however, consist of
quietly disseminating their views.

Slightly AWrV.

1t may be all right and only in the
line of his legimate calling for a law
yer to badger, brow-beat and attempt
to worry witness when on the stand
giving testimony in court. 1t may
be perfectly proper for the lawyer in
practicing the tricks of his trade to
defeat the ends of justice by hiding
the facts Of case, and preventing a
hideous picture affecting his client
from being unfolded to the intellec-
tual vision of blind-eyed justice. 1t
is done, at all events, whether lepi-
mate or not, and tbs a pity that Justice
is so often mockery from this cause.
The lawyers, certain of them at least
practice every artifce known to their
calling to catch at every point and
every technically that may possibly
lead to their advantage, oft times un.
folding features entirely unexpected,
and again of less benefit than they an,
ticipated. When, however, a lawyer
getsup before the Judge of a court and
attempts to advance the interest of
the cause he is hired in, by stating d.
rectly the opposite of the facts il Is n
proper thing for public criticism and
correction. This Mr.. Randolph did
yesterday in the interest of Ball, under

AGHOsT PLANK.
Something that was Lett Out Of
the Chicago Platform.

New York SUM-
1t is said, on what appears to be
good authority, that the original draft
OF the platform, as prepared By the
Hon. Edwards Pierrepont and bv
him submitted to the committee on
resolutions, contained the following
plank, coming just after the one which
charges the democratic party with ca
supreme and Unsuitable lust for Office"
"Ninth-Weaffirm our beliefin the
constant guiding and inspiring pres
ence OF disembodied souIs-beings
from a better world who. freed from
the limitations of the finite and eman-
cipated from the enthrallment of the
gross and corporeal, still hover around
and over us in pure, lovely spiritual
ty, directing us by their unspoken
counsel, warning us of danger unseen
rejoicing in our Joy, sorrowing in our
grlef, glorying in our triumphs. We
declare our fixed and unalterable CON
victlon that, by methods well under
stood and through channels well es-
tablished, by evidence and experience
these disembodied :intelligences from
time to time communicate with MS for
our information and spiritual eleva-
tion; and We einyoke their aid. guidance
and controlling influence in the an
preaching political canvass"
On the reading Of this resolution
by Judge Pierrepont, chairman of the
committee, it is said that Mr.. Steck
Of Colorado, moved it be laid upon
the table. This motion was supported
in speeches by Emery A. Storrs. Of
Illinois, II. II. Harrison, of Tennes
see, William Walker Phelps, of New
Jersey, and Mr.. Youngblood, of Ala,
bama, while Mr.. Pierrepont earnestly
pleaded for its admission into the
committees report, in order that the
sense OF the convention might be
taken upon it, Finally the resolution
was tabled by a vote of thirty-six to
one. This was the only plank upon
which there was much discussion.

WE are glad to learn, upon what
we regard as good authority, that it
will not be the policy of the Iron
Mountain railroad to discriminate
against Memphis, but to give the
place the benefit of its geographical
position, under liberal and equitable
policy. This news, if confirmed and
sustained uniformly, will be graft
flying to our merchants, many
of whom were apprehensive since
the purchase of the Memphis and
Little Rock railroad by the
Iron Mountain, that this important
line Immediately west of us would be
made mere feeder to carry trade
away from Memphis. We hear fur
ther with some satisfaction that the
relations OfColonel Coles system of
roads and the Iron Mountain will
most probably be quite harmonious,
and that between the two Memphis
will not be likely to suffer. A con-
tinued liberal policy on the part of
the Iron Mountain road, giving our
merchants an outlet to the Texas cot
ton trade, would obviate and answer
the immediate demand for a road
from Memphis to Jefferson, Texas.
Memphis is destined to make great
strides in the next few years, and can
not afford to be walled in by lines run
in the interest of other cities. All we
ask is fair play, and a chance at
the trade which legitimately belongs
to Memphis. Louisville and Cincin-
Anati are both interested in this ques-
lion, though from different stand
points and over competing lines. Both
cities are interested in the Texas
trade, and their shortest and quickest
routes are via Memphis, Cincinnati Of
course coming by way of Chattanooga.

Death Of Geo. n. VViII,o,,,s

The many friends of Mr.. Geo. L.
Williams, will regret to learn that he
died last night Of consumption at his
residence 10 Chelsea. He has lived
here many years and filed the Office
Of constable with rare fidelity and
efficiency. His course was such as
to win the approval of the community
without neglectiRg his duty or making
enemies, Being man of stalwart
frame and apparently in the enioyy
ment Of perfect health until within
the last three or four months, his sud
den decline was the cause of great
surprise and regret among all who
knew his condition. Mr.. Williams
possessed an indomitable will and
kept up almost to the last. He seemed
to realize that fatal disease had set
tied upon him. He kept on his feet
long after the traces of decay and
resignation had settled on his kind
and genial face. Only a week or two
ago, as it seems now, he appeared on
the streets and greeted old friends
with his accustomed cheerfulness.
His remains were followed To their
last resting place to-day by those who
knew and appreciated him, and will
cherish the memory OF good man, a
useful citizen,

The Shelbjville (Tonn.) Gazette of
this week, says;
The hanging of a young man by the
name of l.. l.. Ford, originally Of
Lincoln county, but more recently Of
Marion county, Ark, at which place
he was hanged, has caused much in.
dignation in our sister county. It is
said that Ford belongs to an excellent
family now of Lincoln, but was CON
vieted OF completely in the murder of
a Mr.. Broadway, of Marion, Arkan-
sas. All that we know about the
matter we gather from a long letter
publishedin the Fayetteville papers
from Colonel D. w. Holman. II
Colonel Holman tells the truth land
we do not doubt it) the hanging of
Ford was simply murder in which
the governor of Arkansas was a most
guilty participant.

LATER.

III cl0ek.-The steamers In the
collision belong to the same line. The
Narragansett was on her regular triE
from New York to Stonington, and
the steamer Stonington was returning
to New York. The collision occurred
about Ills p. m, off the Connecticut
river. The Narragansett took fire
and sunk in 4 fathoms of water. The
passengers from both steamers were
transferred to the steamer City Of
New York, of the Fall River line, to
Boston, and they arrived in New York
at Ills this morning. 1t is impossi-
BILE to ascertain at present the loss oil
life. Two bodies, however, have al
ready been recovered.
SToNING, CONN, June 12.-The
steamer Stonington arrived at $3.50
this morning with about fifty sur
vivors from the Narragansett. The
bow of the former was stove in nearly
to the water-line. She struck the
Narragansett at ll;50 pm, on the
starbOard side, just forward of the
wheel-house. The shock burst the
gas tank, and in fifteen minutes the
Narragansett was on fire and soon
afterward sunk. Steamers New York
and Providence came to their assist
ance, and all the boats and life-rafts
of the steamers were lowered and put
in service. Two hours elapsed before
the last passenger was picked up.
Most of the passengers we're trans
ferred to the City of New York. The
passengers say the officers and crew Of
the Narragansett behaved with great
cOolness and nerve. On the arrival Of
the Stonington the village was aroused,
and men and women hastened with
clothing and assistance. There we're
twenty-five women on board in their
night clothes, and one died before
reaching here from shock. The body
has not as yet been identified. One
man also died-Rev. d. B. Lockwood,
of Sixty-eighth street Methodist
church, New York, who was on his
first trip east. Most of the eastern
bound passengers left on a special
train. No estimate can be made here
at present Of the loss of life, There
is general agreement among the
survivors that out of the passenger
list Of more than 300, large number
must have been lost, as the water
around the burning steamer was alive
with struggling people, clinging to
RATS and every conceivable thing.
Most of the women brought here were
in the water several hours. One lady
had about three thousand dollars in
hey valise, which was lost. Two ladies
on the steamer Stonington died after
being picked up Their remains
await Identification, 1t is feared that
most of the passengers were in berths
below the main deck, and did not
have time to save themselves. The
bow of the steamer Stonington was
Knocked off.
