Thursday evening last, says the Hagers
town News, a.colored woman, named
Robinson living in Harrystown, who
had been distrained and thrown out Of
house for rent, took her children five
in number, ranging from to 10 years
and laid them along a fence on a public
alley way, for the purpose of freezing
them to death and thereby getting rid
OF her charge. Some of the neighbors
gathered around and pit.ied the little
waits, but not until the appearance Of
Mr.. Joseph Kershneer upon the scene
was any thing done to alleviate their
sutferings. Mr.. KershneT pittied them
too, aud like the good Samaritan he
took them in aud cared for them, warm
ing them up aud feeding them, and on
yesterday morning three OF the party
were taken to Bellevue Asylum and
properly cared tor The heartless moth

into favor Instead Of burning it into
lime, as has been the custom all along
when wanted for fertilizirg purposes, it
is crushed and ground into powder and

bridge are submerged and 10 some places

bridge The wharf is so narrow In some
places that wagons Can only pass by

the river front are nearly full Of water.
In the southern part OF the city, below
Ohouteau avenue, and between the Iron
Mountain Railroad embsnkment and the
river the land is all submerged, and busl-
ness operations of various establishments
are suspended. In two or three places
the water has appeared on thu west side
Of the railroad track, and has encrosched
upon the works Of the Missouri Oar Com

them shut down to-day, throwing about
GOD men out of employ ment. The harris

LAZY Judges,

New York, 3.-The Sun: Both the
press and bar Of San Frsnci-co express
indignation at the intention Of the jud < es
of The higher courts Of that city 10 take
two months vacation during the summer
In view of the practice in other states,
and particularly in those of the Atlantic
coast, this protest is somewhat of an in
novaIion. In this city, where the judges
are paid about five tim g rs much for
services as those of San Francisco, this
summer vacation lasts from the latter
part Of June to the first Monday in Octo-
Der. Besides this, part or whole of one
week in every month is practically Vscs-
ton time with the judiciary, and they
never lit on Saturday with the except n
of one Judge in each court for two or
three hours at chambers, TO make orders
md listen to other minor applications.
The press and the bar of San Fr4ucisco
ought to look eastward to see how judges
do and they will come to the conclusion
that they have comparatively little cause
for complaint.

A DARTMOUTH DISGRACE
Quarrel Among the Professors.

New ork, 3-The Times has dispatch
from Hanover concerning the uDharmo-
n GUS relst'ons between the president and
facul y of Dartm nth College. The cor
respondent says the faculty, with three
or four exceptions have signed paper
informing the trustees that in their opin-
ion President Bartlett ought 10 resign.
One professor said President Bartlett
has sometimes talked to M as If we're a
dog or a pickp 'cket. He has go: IN
reasonably angry over matters which
callei for 10 show of feelings whatever;
he has used language that made me
ashamed of him sld for the college
and his treatment # other mem bers OF
the faculty has been quite rude and IN
civil. " hen he has not been positively
insulting Ia tone or bearing he has shown
n difference or r-spec. for the opinions
of white hair, professors whose years of
service TO the college outnumber his
nearly tel to one. When he has not
chosen to affront Us he has ign red US, or
has adopted polly contrary 10 our
wishes and earnest remonstrsnce. We
have borne much fIr the sake of peace
and the good name Of the college, but
ou- position has grown intoierzble. We
cannot keep silence longer and preserve
our self-respect. One Of the three pro-
fe sors who did not sign the petition to
the trustees, says there are two or three
men here Who rave been hottie to the
pr-,ident aim st from he day Of his
coming here. He upset some of their
cherished plans very early in his career,
and they have been hinging mud il his
face ever since There is a thresd Of
personal spite running III ough this at
tack which will rome dsY be uncovered.
If the trustees prob this natter to the
bottom the presid mt wi not be the only
ons who will suffer. l believe him TO be
one If the b st colleg- presidents in the
United States. and that his general man
sgemeht OF the CO lege has beea eminently
wise ard beneficial.

WASHINGTON.
The Republican Quarrel =
Robertson aud Chandler
Must Both 60.

Washington, 3.-All the prominent
republicans attended the caucus this
morning. They desire to determine
what is contested and what Is contested
nominations Administrative senator
maintained thst the adverse report of 8
committee should constitute contested
nomination. Conkling and friends held
thai objection by one senator from ate
in which the nomination belongs made It
contested. This point was not settled,
and this afternoons Caucus will pursu-
The question. Co..kling was conspicu-
ously pleasant to-day, which many r.
garded as proof that he was satisfied with
tne situation.
Democrats discussed informally, to-
day, how they had better vote in the ap-
proaching executive session. Some
d-mocrats are working hard for G mr.
ling. They claim that fifteen democrats
will vote sgsinst Robertson. Thera is,
however, 3 report that tome democrats
are dropping away from Conkling be-
cause he wont push their 6ghL TO the die
advantage of the republican party. Ex-
ecutive sessions will certainly be held
g his week.
Last week southern democratic sens-
tor, when gong away, asked q stalwart
republican senator to pair with him
on the nomination of Chand .erI
for solicitor-general, the democrats want
ing TO vote against Chandler. The re-
publican senator, who is prominent
Grant man, replied that he could not
pair. because he intends to vote against
Chandler. This is supposed to show that
Grant republicans ara against Chandler,
and IS al democrats oppose him, that
would surely d feat him.
The treasury department, to-day. in
view OF the decision BY the Unltel States
supreme Court granting a rehearing IN
