the future than it has been in the past. To our
many kind friends who have assisted US by max.
ing prompt payments and rendering words of
encouragement, we return thanks and would
respectfully ask a continuance of their patronage.
To those who have not settled up " old scores

words of advice-SuJscribe for the JOURNAL at

The election OF Gen. Vaughn TO
the Speakership Of the Tenn. Senate
has been source of very general
surprise. 1t places him in the second
position in the State, and if Gov
Brown should die he will become the
Go: ernor of Tennessee. 1t is this
view of the case which brings him
conSpicuously forward on the test Of
ability. We are not one of those
who think it horrible thing that
rebels should place their own fellow
sufferers in those positions from which
they have been so long excluded. and
we believe the disposition to invcigle
against the exclusion of those ConscT-
Vativc loyalists who have been hold
ing our Offices for the past six years,
Is little worse than CANNON. But
we are not convert to the belief en-
tertaincd by the present Senate, that
Gen. Eaughn'S abilities are such as
to entitle him to the gubcrnatorial
succession. in the case of uufavorable
developments as TO the health of the
present incumbent. Gen Vaughn is
under the ban of the 18th ameud-
ment and we suppose he will present
favorable opportunity for the decis-
!oa Of the question our own people
have raised.

From the New York Herald


The recent peace celebration gave
the general public a wonderful in
Of combination for arrangement Dos
sessed by the German citi-
zens. There is, perhaps, no people
in the world who can excel them in
the art Of displaying to the best ad-
vantage the attractive elements of a
public demonstration. On that men,
Orable occasion Thousands OF their
most ardent admirers were astonished
at the magnitude Of the forces they
brought into requisition and the i'm
posing character Of the entire display.
Nc essential part Of the great whole
was out Of place, but everything
worked with the greatest harmony.
Elements that in other natiOnalities
would have proved discOrdant were,
by their admirable knowledge of ar
rangement, brought into harmony,
and the effect was worthy Of the pains
taken. OF a similar character will be
the great musical festival which opens
to-day. 1t is intended to make il one
OF the great events Of the year and Of
Sengerfests the greatest this country
has witnessed. Everything connect
ed with it has been prepared In CO.
lossal scale, and months Of la
Dor have been lavished upon
it 10 insure complete success. The
most experienced men at this sort Of
thing have been brought together,
and they have devoted all their time
and attention for sometime past to
the one absorbing object-the festival
of 1871, an era in the history Of
American music. The great love of
melody OF the German people Is pro-
verbal. Not even the swarthy sons
of Italy, with their fiute-like voices,
are more devoted TO the cultivation of
that elegant art than are the children
Of "FatheTland." Upon whatever
quarter of the globe their humble lot
may be cast, they are no scOnea Su-
snerOus enough to be a community
than a "glee club" OF a "chOral
uniOnD is formed. These musical so
cieties, primitive perhaps in the re-
mote rural districts In character and
organization, have a two-fOld benef-
cial result. They not only create an
emulation for thecultivation Of music,
but they have an excellent moral effect

ton. Hours and days that would
have been otherwise spent ia amuse-
ments not so salutafy TO the partici-
pants are devoted to the training of
the voice in solos or in concert or to
the mastery Of some instrument.
These, in themselves, are considera-
tions that should make every honest
man proud of the German element Of
fbe American people. They go at
everything Of this kind they under
take with such hearty good will that
II Is not astonishing they succeed as

which they are now about TO celebrate
is not simply local affair its features
are thoroughly and emphsticaLly na-

sT. LOUIS, June 28.-A construction
train on the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road, having some fifteen laborers on
it, ran into hand car near MoseIle,
about sixty miles from here yester-
day morning. Six fat cars and all
the labOrers but one, were precipitated
down an embankment twenty feet
high, falling on broken rocks. George
Saunders fell beneath one of the cars
and every bone in his body was
broken; killed instantly. VIM. Mil
Ter fell head foremost against a rock
and his skull was split open; a car
fell upon him, pinning him to the
ground and In this position he lay
half an hour, the blood squirting from
the terrible wound in his forehead at
every breath, and died soon after being
removed. The remainder of the men
are more or less injured, some of them,
it is feared, fatally. On the arrival OF
the express train from the west the
wounded were placed on board and
brought to Franklin, where most of
them have families. The railroad
decline to give any infor-
nation of the disaster.

The Dis trict Attorney was therefore per-


milted to elect whether he would defer
making the pending motion until the ses-
sion of the Z. S. Circuit Court at ST Paul
III June next, or would Withdraw the mo-
ton for the purpose OF renewing it as so n
rs practicable before Judge Miller (o Iowa)
or Judge Dillon, at Chambers. The Dist
Atty preferred the latter course and the
mo lion was withdrawn accordingly.


However much the delay is to be regret
ted, certainly the scrnples of Judge Nelson
are to be respected; and in this connection
we may say that the statement in the Du-
uth Wn,sesotio1a of last week-refcrring TO
this motion-to the effect that the people
OF Superior were congraJulating themselves
upon Judge Nelson's ownership Of property
here, and were boasting that therefore he

great advantage to them or disadvantage
to the United States, in the pending suit,
is to be secured by opening the canal clear

an injunction order shall be actually served
No stronger evidence could be afforded Of
their own expectations as to the result of
hearing on the motion, than their ill-ad
visrd and unworkmanIike activity under
this foolish idea. The old fable OF SisyphuS
is realized III their case. Time and again
they cut the canal through at immense cost,
to find it So filled up at its mouth by the
first northeast wind, as that scarcely a sign
OF the excavation at that point can be OBJ
served.


They and their advisers seem never to

injunction, the office OF which is to compel

to which this suit belongS-of authorizing
an aggrieved suitor (the United States in
this instance) to undo the work of a wrong

An Irishman took O contract to
dig d public well. When he had
dug about twenty feet down, he
came one morning and found
it caved in nearly flled to the
top. Pat looked cautiously around,
and saw that nobody was near;
then took of his hat and coat, hung
them on the windlass, crawled in
to some bushes and waited events.
In a short time the citizens disoov-
cred that the well had eaved in,
and seeing Pats hat and coat on
the windlass, they supposed he
was at the bottom of the well, and
Just as the eager citizens had reach
"a the bottom, and pondering
where the body was, Pat came ont

A valuable discovery has been made by an
inventive genius in Ohio which consists OF converting
iron into steel that may be cast In any form In mods
and which is Of quality that Is suitable for axes OF

We find tho above floating through our

coyery. Very likely, it is but the dream OF
heated brain. like thousands that infest jour
nolists and hundreds that make their way TO

We are always more than willing to give an
account of any really great invention, such as
this purports to be; but we choose never 10

stage of drawing and model into actual use.
Until then, we prefer to maintain silence. anu
os to the innumerable company who have merely
projected or designed an invention, let them
cschew type for the next ten years, or at least
until they shall have made something that
will work. While they keep their ideas to
themselves, no one can steal them.

Mr. Orange s. Winans is not person to be
argued with; but his sophistries may be used
10 expose kindred unreason as well as any.


Mr.. w. is a trusted and well paid employe
of the Erie Railroad: Wherefore, he gives out
that it was his duty, as legislator, to vote
"a the interests of that road seemed to dictate.
This is pretty steep; but what Is the Erie Rail
road Company Is it not an ASSOCIATION OF
persons who furnished the money which built
that road, or have purchased and now hold an
assignment of the rights which those persons
acquired by paying their money? Can any one
answer No to this question:


Well the men who paid in the money which
built the Erie Road ask the Legislature to
let the Owners of its stock choose q JnH Board
of Directors at their merit election In other
words: they ask that those who own this
great property may control and manage it pre-
csely as its charter originally promised that
they should. But Messrs. Gould, Fisk, Tweed
and Lane, having obtained control of it some
years ago. have had an act passed whereby
they can retain control Of it for years, III
spite of twO-thirds of the stockholders
They compose the Executive Committee
of the Board of Directors, wherein all power
is centered; they are President, Treasurer
&c; ; and they have classified themselves SO
that their terms do not expire for some years
vet. If q majority of the stockholders were
to try to turn them out, and could Keep thelr
stock and proxies out of the reach of Barnarfs
iniunctions, they could not reach the managers
of their property save through two or three
successive annual elections.


This network of rascality, this cherdur-de-
frie.e of villainy, the Democratic majority III
the Legislature votes solid to perpetuate and
Mr. Winans votes with them because he is an
employG of the Erie Road His fidelity Is due
not to those whose bread he eats, but to the
knaves who have stolen the greater part OF IT.,
but have not yet stopped his allowance


Men and brethren! we must hereafter choose
as legislators men who, if they are base enough
to betray their trust for bribes, will not insult
us by such excuses as this, but respect our in
telligence so much as to pocket the wages OF
their shame in silence.

The exposure Of frauds in this great City of many
knaves and innumerable dupes is endless and for
the most Part thanklesS job. One swindle is no
sooner exposed than another is contriyed with the
quick ingenuity of practical knavery to take its
place ca the old one is renewed in some other locality
Often exposure only an advertisement for there
dupes silly enough to "try their luck' where they
are warned that no chances of winning are given to
the players TIE TRIBUNE has been at great pains
to ferret out and expose the counterfeit moneydeal
ers the keno-players the panel-house thieves, gam
blers generally not excepting those who play Tam
many's great and dangerous political cheats ms
morning it gives full account of the new swindle
devised by Ellis H. Elias, proprietor of the Dollar
Store Milton Gold Jcwelry establishment and other
concerns which sell worthless objects at small prices
within the reach of ALL but at large profits neyerthe-
less. The new swinde is known as the Merchants
and Manufacturers Cooperative Distribution" pos
sbly because neither merchants nor manufacturers
cooperate, and there is no distribution OF profits
or prizes From the details which we publish those
who have bought tickets emitting them to prizes
will learn that by no possibility could they draw
ANYTHING but blanks that the persons who draw
prizes Of valuable articles are regularly saared EN-
ploy6s of the swindling proprietor; and that they
change their dresses and assume various characters
with the skill of actors. The profits of the fraud
enable the swinders TO retain large force OF these
prize drawers" and to provide several offices where
they can change their clothing. 1t is amazing that
such shallow trick should succeed in the most pub
lie street of the principal city OF the country; but
until the foOlkiller along again and does bet
ter execution than any previous visit, the swindc
will flourish.

great confusion, in the midst OF which
tho House adjourned. We showed
few days ago how slender was the
majority upon which the Ministry could count
in emergencies. Perhaps the Government
members felt it would be dangerous to sit still
under the battery Of the renowned tribune,
and howled him down to save their preponder-
ance. But it is hard to say whether there be
more danger in the eloquent invectiye or the
enforced silence of this most brilliant
rhetorician of the age. The time has gone by

King Amadeus cannot afford to let the Oppo-

Although a Knight of ST. Crispin. Mr.. J. Sheenan
who goes about the country delivering the lecture

this morning, is an ardent admirer Of the Celestial
workmen. His speech is splendid but covert
eulogy of the Chinaman, for though he calls them
"vipers" and other hard names to satisfy his Cris-
pin audience he cannot conceal his admiration of
them. He declared in strong praise of their indus

and ladies' and gentlemen's first aud second quail

the by; that "they are also encroaching
upon other skilled branches Of our labor" meaning
the labor which in this country is free to ALL that
they have learned to run sewing machines" TO
say which is to commend their intelligence; that
"they make all the paper collars used the Pacific
Coast and all the matches, and put up all the canned
fruits; y that they "are encroaching upon the
carpenters trade, and are employed in
factories where doors, sashes, and blinds are
manufactured" that they have driven out the
cigar-maker and are driving out the harness-mak-

painters in the city" meaning San Francisco After
concluding this highly eulogstic passage the lee
