sell to be interviewed on the subject Of
the troubles between herself and the Alb.
bon company. She says the contract
binding her to sing with Abbott three
years was a catch contract, the terms Of
which were not made known to her until
long after she signed, and to secure which
dishororable means were used by Morris.

was reduced in order to spare her
late husbands professional pride, as It
was suggested to cut his stipend, but after
his death Wetherill refused to pay her the
sum originally stipulated for her own ser.
vices. Mrs. Wallace felt that her reputR.
ton was being injured by remaining with
q company whose standard Of excellence
was so low as the present Abbott troupe,
and the management, she says, is too mig.
gardly and parsimonious for any selt.re-
specsing artist to calmly endure. She de-
nies the statements OF Wetherill and
Morrissey, in a recently published inter-
view, that Wallace Is the cause Of
tbs trouble, and says she had de.
termined to get her release from
the company before she knew him.
While admitting that Miss Abbott
Is q warm.hearted woman, for whom she
entertains the kindest feelings, Mrs. Wal
lace says that she is jealous Of her (Wal.
lace's) success and popularity, and cannot
bear to see any one else receive favorable
notice. For the future, Mrs. Wallace says
her plans are not yet mstured. She has
several tempting offers, but will first devote
her energies TO secure an honorable re.
lease from the Abbott management, claim.
ing that she is entitled to that by reason
Of their failure to perform the stipulations
OF the contract.

Departure or Ward and hawthorne
Courtney aud shaw, Etc.
BosroS, December 27.-The London
correspondent OF the Herald Of this city
writes that the sudden departure Of David
Ward and George Hawthorne from Eng.
land, leaving Hanlsn to paddle his own
canoe, has excited no little commotion in
boating and club circles.
Ward made HanlPr present OF $500
and the champion wrote letter, which
was published, expressing regret at losing
his friends. 4. The only excuse that Ward
gave was that he and Hawthorne, the lat.
ter Hanlan's trainer, were called home
by cable on important business.
The correspondent says all sorts OF ru.
mors are afoat, and well known boating
man OF Putney says he can reveal some.
thing which will be startling II told.
Meanwhile Hanlan has chummed with
Wallace Ross, whom he has taken as a
trainer, and John Bright, OF Tyneside, Is
engaged to take eHawthorne's place In look
ing alter Hanlsn's boats.
Laycock has changed the rig OF his boat
and Is using Riley's oars, having discon.
tinued his long inboard leverage. ~
Col. A. D. Shaw denies that Courtney
has anything to say about him which will
reflect on him as q man or in his official
capacity, and dares him to make the dis
closures Courtney threatens. The cores
pondent, who Is none other than the
editor Of the London SportsmGn. says there
are some people in England who claim to
have letters that will be read with interest
when published.

dull and sad a Christmas has never been
experienced here. A sullen depression
marks the spirit OF the people, aud the
trades, who have Tor some time been feel
ing very acutely the effects OF the disturb

exhibit signals Of embarrassment, but the
agitation which is paralyzing trade, putting
capital to flight aud poisoning commercial
life, still extends It's deadly influence,
while the suHerers look on its progress in
helpless dismay. The efforts Of the Land
League are now chiefly directed towards
the North OF Ireland, where Il ia persist

hob's Leader Killed
Other Mob Doings.

PARxRRsBURo December 27.-The Red
men, or vigilsntes, are still keeping GER
tain neighborhoods In adjacent counties
lively.
A report, from oil appearances we'll
founded, gives 1t that few nights since
man who had been mail.carrier, having
made himself obnoxious to the selt.impcs-
ed regulators OF morals, was taken out Of q
house in Richie county and severely
whipped.
Following this comes an additional &C.
count from Calhoun, giving an account OF
more serious outrage.
II seems that o man named Davis, who
lived on Spring Greek, Roane county, had
done something which gave offense to the
regulating gentry, and few nights since
for the purpose OF measuring cut Justice
however, that Davis had been apprised OF
them, for when the band came up to the
by Davis and his wife standing in the
WIZ WaIucu uus bANLb
and his wife then opened fire on the ma
rauders, and their leader, Strouse, fell to
the earth corpse. The other shot did not
prove so efectual. but one the gang now
carries an empty sleeve, and will eat with
one hand for while.
Maddened by the death OF their Cap.
tain, the gang, failing to bring the inmates
out by any other means, set fire to the
house. The tiendish plan had, OF course,
the desired effect. In the mean time the
hell.deserving crew, to make sure OF
plishing their object, had surround
ed the premises, and as Davis and his vile
ran out from the burning building the
former was easily caught. He was then
severely whipped, and, incredible though
1t may seem, had both his ears cut off close
TO his head. The officers succeeded in
getting hold OF the member Of the band
who was wounded, and he ia now contin-
ed in the county jail.
Last night an affray occurred between
Taylor Fountain and another negro, iu
which Fountain was terribly cut about the
face and neck by his antagonist. He re-
ceiyed cut extending from the neck
across the jaw, creating serious wound.
The negro who did the cutting succeeded
in making good his escape.

Opposition TO the Reelection of Jones
= III mud Reek.

r& I and Beck.
WASHINGTON, December 27.-The Flori.
da Legislature will, on the 4th Of January
next, proceed to the election Of successor
to Senator Jones. It is thought that the
Senator will be returned beyond doubt.
A little fight, however, has been organ
lied against him because he is not na.
i've of the State. and springs from no
prominent family. Senator Jones Is ma.
i've OF Ireland, and went 10 Florida in
1855. He worked his way up, for time
lsboring at carpenter bench by the side
OF a slave. Senator Beck finds that he Is
being opposed for reelection to the Sen.
ate on pretty much the same grounds. He
Is native Of Scotland, and the argument
Is being used against him that it is time he
should make way for Kentuckian to the
manor born, that he has held his position
long enough. Representative Carlisle and
Judge Lindsay are said to be his most for.
midable competitors for the seuatoship.
