The ObeIisk-PIan for Landing the Mono
 Iith.

The ObeIIsk-PIan for La ndinx the Mono Hth.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The work of unload ing the steamer Dessoug of her 800 tons bal last is about completed and the vessel will now be taken to Staten Island. The Egyp-
 tian obelisk will there be transferred to a
 scow, which will be lowed to dock on East river near Eighty-second street, when it will be drawn on land to the selected site in Cen tral Park. The plan for transferring the obelisk to the scow at Clifton, s. l., is as fol- lows: The Dessoug will be taken to Law ler's marine railway establishment at Clifton, where it will be drawn out of the water and on top of the cradle. The engine to be used is of 5O-horse power, and gearing has been attached increasing it's power 225 times. The Dessoug with obelisk on board will weigh about 1,6O0 tons, and the capacity of the cradle is 2,OO0 tons. The engine house sits fifty feet from shore. From it two inclined ground-ways or rows of piles run out 665 feet into the water upon, which rest immense timbe4s bolted together. The cradle which is 14 feet wide and 300 feet long, is hauled up and down along the top of the groundways by means of immense endless chains. The cradle will be drawn out into the water 365 feet to take the Dessoug, which is 25O feet long, When the cradle is in proper position at high water the Dessoug will be pulled 'fhead on" to the cradle and both will be pulled up the inclined groundways from the engine house. At this point the obelisk will be run out on second set of groundways running at an angle of twenty degrees from the chief groundEays. By means of cannon balls, hydraulic pumps and blocks and tackle the scow will then be run under the timbers on which the obelisk will rest, and at high water will lift the timbers and obelisk and tow them to New York The work of re- l moving the obelisk from the ship will take nearly two weeks.

GfIerson's Pursuit Of the HOst1les-His Operations Impeded by the Indian


 Agency.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-Colonel Grierson has forwarded valuable and interesting re- port of the operations of his command in assisting in disarming the Indians at Mesca- lero agency and the pursuit of the hostile In- dians after having several fights with the h. dians on the morning of the 18th of April. Having found the Indian camp, and when about to close around, attack and drive in the Indians, he was met by courier from the agency with letter from Agent William Russell notifying him that the Indians en- camped in the mountains adjoining the Tu-- larosa were there by his direct order and au- thority that they were good, quiet, peacea- ble Indians who should not be molested, etc. He says q was also informed by the courier that the Indians had been ordered to come in that day to the agency, that he was on his way to his camp, that General Hatch had not arrived but was expected during the day" From that time forward, according to the reports, the action of the military was obstructed by the orders from the Interior department and the result was that only few Indians were disarmed, while the rest made their escape and joined Victoria, thus enabling that chief to continue upon the war

NIobbing the ssSa1vation Army''-A Scene
 of Disorder in Brooklyn.

MObb1ng the stSa1Vat1On Ar1ny''-A scene of Disorder in Brooklyn.
 BROOKLYN, Aug. 19.-There is 8 sect in this city who call themselves the American Salvation Army, their mission being to con
 vert all who are inclined to the belie4 that there is no hereafter or that their sins in this
 world will not be visited upon them in the next. The members are holding meetings in the Chapel of Little Jacob in Bridge street, near Hillary, but as their services are not al
 ways conducted in the inside of the building,
 and as their prayers and exhortstions may be
 heard for a long distance, they have natural
 ly collected large crowds in the streets. Po-
 lice were detailed usually to protect the wor- shipers from insult. Last night the Super intendent of Police failed to detail any po-
 icemen for this purpose, and the members of the sect met with rough usage at the hands of a mob who had been attracted to the little chapel. The crowd took advantage of the absence of the police, and, after yelling and shouting at the army of worshipers, they assaulted them with tomatoes, potatoes and
 other missiles. The Salvation Army was put to flight, and the mob was left in possession
 of the place. The Rev J. c. Erwin was struck in the face, it is said, with faded bouquet, and went to the Washington street station house to make complaint. He was referred to Inspector Waddy at police head quarters, and the latter assured him that his flock should be protected.

Altered Bonds-A Sensation in Fina ncfaI Circles.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The examination of
 Elijah Alliger, the insurance broker charged with negotiating stolen bond, was adjourned in the Tombs police court until to o-morrow on account of the absence of his counsel. Some facts regarding the case have leaked out. It seems that in September, 1873, Owen OCon- nor, an eccentric and wealthy Irish contrac- tor in this city, while in the vestibule of the Astor House was robbed of $50, ,OO0 in bonds of the HannibaN and St. Joseph railroad. Bond No. 2,984, for $1 1000, one of the num- Der stolen, was discovered in the banking house of Hamilton & Bishop on Tuesday, where it had been deposited for negotiation by Alliger. The name of Owen O'Connor had been erased by means of chemicals. Police Inspector Byrnes was asked whether sixteen similarly altered bonds lad been traced to Alliger, but he declined to commit himself. He said, however. that he expected some startling developments in this case. It has transpired that other parties are i'm plicated in the bond forgeries for which Alliger is now under arrest, but the police re- fuse to give their names. Alhger attempted two weeks ago to negotiate two Illinois Gen. tral railroad bonds which had been stolen from the messenger of banking firm. Ali SeT,W InIOrIneQ InAI they naQ been SCOlen, took back the bonds and transferred them to the firm whose messenger had been robbed. It is ascertained that Al1iger during the past six months has hypothecated bonds at the Third National Bank to the extent of over $3O, ,OOO, all of which bonds were either stolen, forged or altered. He claims to have purchased them from some man whom the police have not been able to find. It is thought this is only the beginning of reve- lation to be made relative to his dishonest transactions

GENERAL HANcocK's letter of al

GENERAL HANcocK's letter of ac-
ceptance is out. The letter re-avows
the old doctrine of State rights, with a
modification slight enough that it Is
difficult to tell to a certainty whethe.
he believes the State stands superior to
the National Government or not. He
says the Constitution shall be pre-
served. That is an old saying, and was
one of the campaign cries o: the DEM
ocracy when the leaders of the Dem
ocracy had the Constitution under their
feet and were marching the Confederate
army across its honored pages. He de
clares that the amendments shall be
kept inviolate. His mind on that point
must have undergone complete change
since 1868, for in that year he endorsed
the Democratic National platform,
ewhich platform declared all the con-
stitutional amendments, the enfran-
chisement of the negroes and the entire
work of reconstruction null and void. !"
In 1865 he also endorsed the Blair
Broadhead letter.. which advocated
"the sending of the army south to undo
the work of reconstruction" Is the
Generals repentance and change of
views since 1868 sincere1 Be careful.

A Michigan Greenbacksr for Gar
field,

S. Y. Parsons, prominent Green
backer of Michigan, has comeback to
the Republican fold, giving his reasons
therefor. We quote the conclusion ;
81 have never seen man steal the
livery of heaven to serve the devil in
who did not IN time receive his just
punishment. | once heard a man in
church on Sabbath morning pray in :
loud voice with great spn.Ient earn
estness that God w-did hunt up the
thieves t.aat infested the country and
bring them to speedy justice. He, his
father and two brothers were that night
caught while in the act of removing to
a place of safety four loads of goods
they had previously stolen. The hyp-
ocrite was gwen fifteen years in State
prison, while his father received four
and his brothers but two each. When
the Democratic party undertook to
steal Greeley for the purpose of get
ting into power and serving its master,
the South, it received just such punish
ment as human wisdom and experience
predicted it would, but it seems that
the Democratic party cannot, FROM ex-
perience, acquire wisdom. 1t has now
undertaken to steal Hancock for the
same reasons that it undertook TO steal
Greeley, and its fate will be the same
or worse"

Lynch Law in Missouri.

ST. Louis, July S0.-A special to the
Post Dispatch from Moberly, Mo-, says
that an armed mob of about a hundred
men from adjoining counties came into
the tewn yesterday forenoon and open
ed fire on j. q. Corlew, whom Sheriff
Matlock was taking into the court house
to be tried for committing rape on the
person of Mrs. Crump, at hotel in this
city last March. Corlew ran into the
court room followed by three Of the
mob, where be was shot again. He
then escaped to the street and fell but
quickly regainiDg his feet he received
another shot. He then ran through a
dry goods store closely followed By his
assailants, thence out into an alley and
again into the street, finally making his
way into room over a saloon. Here
his pursuers cornered him, and the hus-
band of the outraged woman ended the
pursuit by firing Eve more shots into
Corlew's body and one into his fore
head. Corlew died in ten minutes. In
tense excitement prevailed while these
proceedings were in progress, and the
officers of the law made no effort to stop
them

On last Wednesday evening the Dem
ocracy Of New York city turned out in
full force to ratify the nomination of
Hancock and English. The meeting
was lively one, after the fashion of
the Democracy. The chief speakers
were Mr.. Tilden and Mr. Randall.
The subject of Mr.. Tilden was reform.
That has been the subject of his life.
1t is high and lofty subject, aud be
has managed to reform railroads and
corporations, and clients generally till
he has reformed several million dollars
into his pocket. He is great reformer
lie is nearly as great q refcrmer as
Andy johnson was a Constitutional
man, and the world knows, or the read
ing world knows that Mr.. Johnson in
his later days made ho speeches of a
dozen sentences without presenting .
constitution to his hearers Mr.. Ran
dali touched the reform question lightly
be took up new subject, " The Ship
ping Interests af the Country" 1t was
an unfortunate subject, for the reason
that the fact is clear to such people as
are acquainted with the history of the
" shipping interests of the country"
that it was the Democratic party in its
rebeIlious state that broke up the ship
ping interests of the United States.
1t was the Rebel cruises that swept the
sea during the rebellion of the leaders
of the Democratic party. There is not
a government on the face of the earth,
that is worth calling government, but
that knows that Charles Sumner want
the Government of the United States
to insist on Great Britin to pay for
the damage Of breaking up the ship
ping interests Of this country by the
furnishing of, or building of cruisers
for JEFF Davis and Company, who were
and are yet the leaders of the Democ-
racy. With such facts staring Mr..
Randall in the face how can he have
the assurance to say that the Republi-
can party broke up the shipping inter-
ests of the country, and claim that the
government should be changed go as to

DEMocRiTIc editors effect to be
greatly pleased with Hancock's letter
of acceptance. They say that it con-
tains so many sentences that are fine,
that they will use them as watch
words in the campaign, all of which
may do for Democratic writers; but
of what good is a fine sentence, if it
is not applicable? For example, they
may talk about the Constitution, when
in fact the leaders of the Democracy
have been its chief violators. They
may talk about liberty and the gen
eral good, when in fact the leaders of
the Democracy made war to destroy
liberty and the general good. They
made war to perpetuate slavery, which
is the opposite of the general good.
Fine sentences are to be greatly adj
mired. Again, for example, Thou
shalt not steal, but of what good is
that fine saying to the thief? On
him it is entirely lost. II is nice to
say, do unto your neighbors as you
would have your neighbors do unto
YOU But such sentence, wise as
it is, and noble in sentiment as it is
does not fit upon the acts of a man
when he does his best to enslave his
neighbor, and that is the way with
Hancocks letter of acceptance. Many
of its sentences are fine, but they nc
more fit Democracy than for thiei
to utter the fine sentence, Thou shalt
not steal not steal" The General
has said many fine savings in his let
ter of acceptance, but the fact that
he is in the hands of leaders who dc
not believe in the practical applica
ton of the fine savings to the people
generally, viii cause people to con
slider the fine savings as that much
fine composition only, and to be oi
no weight whatever when consider
ed against the fact that the masters
of his party do not believe in popu
lar government as practiced in The
Northern States. The corner stone
of the Southern Confederacy was
slavery, and the cornerstone of the
Democratic party are the leaders OF
the Southern Confederacy, and that
is why Hancock's fine general sayings
viii not tit.
