New YORK, Dec. IL, 1883.
The sensation of the week was un-
doubtedly the Bacbe garroting case, and
the police have as yet failed to reach the
criminals. Ills not little singular that
powerful man of six feet, and weighing
fully two hundred pounds, should thus
at seven o'clock in the evening, in Madi.
son Avenue where there is always some
traffic. shoald thus be throttled and
robbed of his money and yaluables, with.
out nybody noticing it. But, there is
undoubtedly something behind" the
whole affair, which Mr.. Bache has q
reason TO conceal. Que of the newspa-
pers has connected Rev Dr. Stephen H.
Tying, Jr., with the affair. II IS claimed
that Mr.. Bache was the custodian of a
certain damaging correspondence be-
tween Tying and well known society
lady. Some months ago his Office WIS
broken into and the safe robbed of these
letters. The parties holding them offered
to return them for So 600, and Mr., Bach.
was in negotiations with them, but al
the same time, had put detectives on the
traces OF the blackmailers. 1t is believed
that the bldeknallers presumed that Nv.
Bache bad additional letters, aud waruea
by his previous experience, carried them
ON his person. They aimed TO get them,
and being disappointed in that respect
took what money and jewelry fell into
their hands.
The scandal about Tying is an old one
aud knowing the man, lam 10th to be-
lleYe that there Is any Truth in At. He
was a lively man aud eschewed that
mlnlsterl"l air which clergymen as q rule
affect entrtly. He was a f,yorite in
society, clever oonyersationRlist, and O
man greatly admired by ladies' 1t is
qoite natural that under IN, Sc circum-
stances the venom Of scandal should as
ptrse his good name. l remember that
about two years ago, one of the editors

had called and offered to sell him "a
sensation for round sum. 1t was
nothing else than a scandal about Tyng.

About two years ago, DIR. Tying gave up

lection. There was a regular gang Of

A Sketch Of His Life.


Mr. Carlisle was born September 5th
1885, in Kentou county, Kentucky. Hi.
early days were srent IN securing an edu
cation such as the country schools OF those
days afforded, at the same time supporting
himselfb by his own labor. An opportunity
was presented aud young Carlisle began the
study OF law in Covington. At the end oi
two years he was admitted TO tie bar, in
1858, and 30 rapid was bis rise in The pro.
fesson and so great his popularity with the
public that be was elected member Of the
Lower House Of the Kentucky Legislature
in 1864, State Senator in 1866, and again
in 1869, lieutenant governor in 1871 ,s>rv.
ing until September, 1875.
Mr.. Carlisle was then relieved from the
lieutenant governorship by his election to
the Forty-ffth and Forty-sixth Congresses.
lie was returned to the Forty seventh Con
gress, in which he became a conspicuous
figure, and now he is Speaker of the Forty
eighth.
Personally, Mr.. Carlisle is quite dignified,
yet very courteous in manner, and i'm
presses one with the opinion that be is u
character OF more than ordinary ability, by
nature and tact brilliant leader and con-
scientious politician. The country at large
will anticipate his career as Speaker with
MR.. cARLisLEs VIEWS ON TARIFF.
Your correspondent sought an interview
with the new Speaker aud found him will
ling 10 frankly express himself on subjects
Of future legislation.
"Mr. Carlisle, do you consider your SO
lection for the Speakcrship an endorsemtn nl
by the Democratic party Of your. r.reformatory
views on the tariff"
"Most emphatically, yes. was the only
candidate for the honor representing our
party policy on tariff Messrs Randall aud
Cox both holding views inconsistent with
our position on the purposes of tariff"
do you mean tariff for revenue only?"
"That is the constituent principle, to be
regulated, however, so as to protect our
home industries without fostering monopo
lies. For instance, we should haye a high
taTiifon manufactured products coming in
competition with home industries, with a
low tariff on raw materials not attainabe
in our country"
"Do you anticipate any attempt in the
present Congress TO revise the existing laws
on this subject?"
There will probably be no effort of the
kind until a change IN the political com.
plexion of the Senate occurs. I believe,
however, that the question will be ap.
preached sooner or later intelligently and
FOR the best interests of tho country at
large"

Now, however, this species of crime
seems TO be coming in vogue again, and,
what is odd enough, tbs criminals al e
not New Workers, but are believed to he
Western men. Since the assault on Mr..
Bache, no less than siS garroting cases
have come to the knowledge OF the po-
lice, and in every instance the footpads
disappeared. As proof Of the fact that
they are strangers. 1t may be mentioned
that last Saturday evening three men at
tackled 'Blaok Jack" one of the best
known gamblers and "crooked men" in
the city. He was standing at the corr er
OF Bowery and Grand Street about o.
clock when three men approached him.
II must be remembered that the Bowery
at that time. and particularly on Satur-
day evenings swarms with people, and
every half block one meets with a police
man. In a twinkling one threw his head
from behind. While the two 9th rs tore
open his overcoat aud body coat and
"went through him." as the police said
Suddenly one of them exclaimed why,
that's Black jack" and then the gang
disappeared. They got no money, be.
cause Jack is clever fellow and never
or i $ any money in his vest or coat.
He carried it in his aud. Hence the
thieves were disappointed. This mater
has not yet got into the newspaper,
because the police hoped to capture the
fellows.
The stores are thronged with shoppers
for Christmas and the keepers outvie
each other in endeavoring to attract Gus

velous manner. and the streets in trout

eight in the morning until ten at night.
The favorite way of inducing ladies 10
buy is by offering souvenirs, and in Il is
way an enormous amount of money 8
spent. called at a place the other day
where souvenirs of that kind are manu-
factured. Said the Superintendent
''There are only few firms in the bust

gates several millions year. The era
OF the cheap chrome is gone by.
