CRIME E,

William Bcner, the Cincinnati murderer
was quietly arraigned Friday, sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary, and hustled
of to Columbus by the first train. Ten thou
sand citizeds gathered at the Cincinnati Music
hall in the evening TO express their indignation
at the escape from the gallows Of the murderer
OF Kirk. On the adjournment Of the meeting
rush was made for the Jail, where a vast
assemblagc at once attacked the door having
supplied themselves with tools from black.

evening was temporarily quellcd by volley
from the militia, in which eight persons were
killed and twenty-hvemorc wounded, although
the mob fired the jail as late as o'clock in the
morning. Quiet reigned throughout the day,
but in anticipation Of renewal Of trouble
Governor IIoadly ordered three regiments and
two batteries TO the city. Saturday evening
a gatling gun was taken to the jail, and the
streets were barricaded by police and soldiers
for one hundred yards. Anonymous circulars
had been distributed through the city, calling
for vigilance committee Of three hundred in
each ward. A militia regiment was placed in
side the jOll, and sevcnty-hve policemen were
stationed outside. About O'Clock stones were
thrown through the Jail windows, and pound
dynamite cartridges were displayed by rioters.

T. W. Higginson, in HaJpcr'S Maga-
zinc for April, says: We speak Of JET
fcrson's period of Office as having
lasted for eight years, but it is not
wholly incorrect to estimate, as Mr..
Parton suggests, that it lasted for nearly
a quarter OF a century, Madison's and
Monroc's administrations were but the
continuation of it. The fourth and fifth
presidents had. indeed, 50 much in
common that it was about an even
chance which should take the presiden-
cy first. Both had long been friends
of Jefferson; both had something to do
with rcconciling him to the United
States constitution, which he had at
first opposed. He himself would have
rather preferred Monroe for his iInlne-
diate successor, but the legislature OF
Virginia pronounced in favor of Madi-
son, who, like the two others, was a ma.
tive of that then powerful state. Itreal.

sonan; their administrations moved
profcssedly in the line indicated by
their predecessor, and the success Of
his policy must be tested in degree
by theirs. Both inherited something OF
his unpopularity with the federalists,
but Madison partially lived it down,
and Monroe saw nearly the extinction
of it. The Jeflersonian policy may
therefore, fairly be judged, net alone
by its early storms, but by the calm
which at last followed.

night. The troops fired on the mob from the
windows, with deadly effect. Captain Des-
mond, Of the militia, cndeavored to suppress
the flames and was shot dead by the rioters.
The fire-engines were not allowed TO work.
The wells Of the mob could he heard for six
blocks, and they appeared to he thoroughly

depot but found Il impossible to reach the
battle-ground. The flames have probably CON

to the jail at midnight, but the 9Th regiment
turned back To the depot after hearing OF the

Honor to Whom 1t is Due.

To the Editor of the TimeS-Star:
In your issue of the 11th inst, under
the head of Local Personals" is a
statement which needs correcting. 1t
is stated that one George w. Elliott,
who brought to Cincinnati one thou
sand dollars (S1,000) in cash for a
well known proprietary medicine con-
Germ of Rochester, N. Y, is now the
advertising manager of patent medi-
cine concern on the Hudson. 1t is the
tirststatcment which needs correcting;
Of the latter know little and care less.
Mr.. Elliott did bring the money to
Cincinnati, but he acted simply in the
capacity of messenger of the Rochester
house, which he represented. The
facts of the case are these:
During the height of the suffering
caused by the raging waters, when
thousands of fugitives were starving
from hunger and suffering from cold,
long before the authorized call for aid
was sent out by our citizens, Mr.. H. II.
Warner, of Rochester, n. Y, with that
wholesale generosity which is charac-
teriStic of the man, telegraphed me
that he had sent one thousand dollars
cash and twelve hundred and fifty dol
lars worth of Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, the entire proceeds of
the sale of which, together with the
one thousand dollars cash, were to be
given for the benefit of the sufferers, as
in my judgment appeared best.
The goods were disposed of and, |
believe, the entire proceeds, with the
one thousand dollars cash, were given
to relieve the wants and miserics of
the sufferers. For Mr.. Elliott to try
and appropriate for his concern on the
Hudson the thunder Of reputable
house with which to rattle up de-
mand for his medicine, is not only
unjournalistic, but decidedly unbusi-
ness-like. If this concern on the Hud-
son wishes to reap the benefit of such
magnanimity as Mr.. Warmers, why
don't Mr.. Elliott have its proprietor
donate his two thousand two hundred
and fifty dollars? We dare say it
would be judiciously expended, and
that whatever glory and benefit there
might be in such exhibition of gencr-
osity would be chccrfully given him.
| am led to make this statement from
a sense of justice and right and from
the fact that it is due Mr.. Warner
whose libcrality our citizens enjoyed.
Yours for the right,
NJ. MosLER.

Artificial Truffles.

Eaters of truffles, esteemed the great
est of French delicacies are, says the
Paris correspondent of The Duty NcWs,
now terroriaed by an extraordinary
panic. 1t is familiar knowledge that
they are often adulterated in various
ways. 1t is hard to believe that lozen-
ges of black cloth garnishing the cuti-
Gle of n turkey can be passed off as
truilles to any great extent, but harm
less blackened bread crumbs, potato,
and Turkish flour are often fraudulent
ly introduced into the jackets of the
Perigord black potato, and are eaten
with perhaps the remark that the
.truffles of the year are wanting in per-
fumc. Now it is alleged that ten
general officers were taken very i'll
after eating truffles at a Palais ROYAL
banquet. The police have arrested a
man who they say had great manu-
factory of false truffies at Versailles,
and obtained the right perfumes by
means Of an essence Of highly dele
terious character. He awaits his trial /;
and meanwhile orders have been given
to visit all shops and market-stalls
where truffles arc sold, and bring
specimens for analysis to the municl.
pal laboratory.
