MIR. COuZzIns' Election.

There appears to be some difference of
opinion as to the length of time for which
Mr.. cambridge Couzzins was elected
teacher of. the Strawberry street school.
The INTELLIGENCER reporter under
stood that he was elected for one
year. The New Era reports that he was
elected but does not state the length Of
time, but states that his pay is to be lat
the rate of $495 per year. Tho Erami-
ner reports that Mr.. Hartman's resolution
to elect Mr.. COuzzcns "tO serve rs long rs
the board has use for him" was adopted
after being amended, but does not state
the nature Of the amendment.
Mr.. ID. G.. Baker states that his amend
ment to Mr.. Hatman's resolution was
adopted, namely that Mr.. COuzzins be
elected for one month ut $49. .j0-the object
of the amendment being to close the school
unless sufficient number of pupils at
tended it to warrant keeping it open.
The president states, and the secretary
of the board has it recorded, that Mr..
Bakers amendment to Mr.. Hartman's
motion was adopted rs follows " that the
board proceed to elect the teacher for the
Strawberry street school, ut the rate Of
$3.50 per month";"
And that settles it.

suffering from some bodily ailments for
some time, and the other night lie arose
from his bed about one o'clock, went to 4:

terribly lacerated four of her fin
gers by pressing the blade through
tho handle. The man then ran down
stairs to the kitchen, stating that he
would get the butcher knife. His wife
closely followed him and succeeded in get
ting that from him. She then took din
ncr horn and went outside, in order to
sound an alarm Of distress, and when she
got into the house again he was beating
himself on the head with stove plate.
He succeeded in cutting some fearful
gashes in his scalp, but before he finished
aid had arrived and he was put to bed,
where he now lies at the point Of death,
caused, by what the physician pronounces,
congestion of the brain.

Mr.. Muse remained with his bride but "a
hours, when he started, us he said, for
West Newton, not, however, until he had
borrowed 500 from his wife and another
similar sum from her brother. At West
Newton Muse met Miss Maggie Paul, u
respectable young lady whom he had pre-
viously engaged to marry, and proposed
to bring her to Pittsburgh to have
the ceremony performed. They start
ed for this city accompanied by two
brothers of Miss Paul. Arrived in the
city it was found that the train they in
tended to leave Oh to take their wedding
trip was about to leave and the ceremony
was again deferred. The brothers return
ed home, and MIR. Muse and Miss Hall de-
parted, nobody knows where. There is a
rumor to the effect that Miss Paul is the
first wife, they having been married some
time ago. Detectives are looking for tho
much married man. The brothers of both
young ladies are determined to leave moth.

Garfield and Grant HIeet.

The president aud General Grant have
met at last. The president and his wife
and boy wero just starting out for a drive
ut o'clock last evening. General Grant
at the same interesting moment Glanced
to be strolling over the lawn at his
son Jesse's cottage. He was going
toward the railway as the presi-
dents carriage passed. The salute which
was exchanged was spontaneous, stimuli
taneous and, to all outward appearances,
cordial, though not familiar. The presi-
dent drove on and the general resumed his
stroll. The news of the meeting and the
greeting was abroad in an instant. Colonel
Murphy has been here all day with Colonel
Rockwell, the presidents secretary, and
with Secretary Window. Postmaster Gen.
eral James went to the city this morning.
Secretary Hunt has been studying the sea
from the bluff. Colonel Porter, John Hoey
and Hugh Hastings called on the president

No COlnDrOmfSc.

People who are Speculating upon the
presence of Grant and Garfield, at Long
Branch ut the same time, and with ex-
Collector Thomas Murphy there rs a
gO-between, as Indicative OF compro-
mise Of the Republican factions, do not
seem to properly estimate the nature
and extent of their differences. If Mr..
COnklihg was making struggle for the
election of some one in New York to
represent his interests merely, a compro-
mise might lie patched up, as in this
state, by the selection of senators whom
each side had reason to feel confident it
could claim as its own in any
critical juncture. But in New York
it must be Conkling or nobody for
the short term, and Platt's election is
involved in his own. Anything short of
this isa defeat for him and he knows it.
He no doubt measured all this when he
resigned, and though the support ac-
corded him has fallen far short of his
expectations, he must fight to the bitter
end to prevent the election of any other
Republican than himself. Though in a
minority of his own party he has re-
ceived moral and political reinforcement
in the exposure of the means taken to de-
feat him. The attempted bribery with
money of members for the corporation
candidate and the tender of offices from
the federal administration for votes
against Conxling have helped him with
out doubt. Moreover, there is grow
ing conviction in his own party that
Garfield misused his confidence. There
is strong element of men in it, who
are rs much opposed to Blaine as to
Conkling-those like Wayne Mac Veagh
for example-who would have been glad,
and did try, to bring these two elements
together, but having failed they do not
hold Garfield altogether guiltless of re-
sponsibility for the miscarriage. They
believe Garfield is too much Influenced
by Blaine and that this influence seduced
him into lying to Conkling to serve
Blaine. Mr.. Conkling feels that those
