Mr.. Garvin then examined the Juror who stated
he was impartial and could render a fair verdict
The case was then summed up.

there was any truth in what the juror had stated he
was the most extraordinary specimen OF humanity
that ever tried to get on jury. He must have had
some motive urging him to seek and to thrust him.

an opinion in regard to it, He was therefore at a
loss to account fer the jurors answers and was
forced to think he was concealng something and
that he was net in that unbiased state OF mind
essential to Juror.


Another thing to cause suspicion was that Mr.
Wingate was anxious to get on the jury, which OF
itself sufficient to prove bias, and he also ad-
mitted that he was acquainted with one OF the prin-
cipal actors in the blasphemous ceremony at the
Astor House.


The Recorder charged the triers that they were to
decide upon the evidence submitted to them whe-
ther not the juror had bias against the accused

New YORK, June S--Yesterday the note
of preparation for the imposing Masonic
ceremonies of today, the laying of
the cornerstone OF Grove Masonic
Temple to be erected in this city,
was sounded. The business of yesterday
was the assembling of the Grand Lodge,
and the reception in fitting form of mem
bers of the Fraternity from Philadelphia
and elsewhere, who had resolved to visit
this city for the purpose of taking part in,
and assisting on, this grand occasion The
weather was unpleasant, and therefore the
imposing procession Of Knight Templars
was not witnessed by rs great a throng IS
it otherwise would have been.


At the Grand Lodge yesterdaytGe Grand
Master of Canada was introduced, and in
the course of his speech paid his respects
TO the Fenians.


The grand procession of Free Masons
this morning wasi in every respect decided
success. The weather was glorious and
grand. 1t was pleasant under foot for
walking. The column was formed in ten
divisions, the right resting on Fifth avenue.
They marched through Fifth avenue, from
Twenty-third street to Fortieth street, Sixth
avenue to Thirty fourth street, and Fifth to
Twenty third street, when the right of the
column halted and the Marshal opened
their several divisions.


The ceremonial of laying the corner
stone then commenced. Different Lodges
with their insignia and their banners pre-
sented splendid appearance as they
marched through the streets, exciting the
admiration of the assembled multitude
which lined the streets along the line of
march. The procession was considered
the finest display by the Masonic Order
ever witnessed in this city. More than
40 900 Masons participated.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:


CoOKEvILLE, June IL am happy to
inform you that times in fhis section are
again assuming their old state. 1t really
seems under the new administration we
are surrounded with a different class of
people RadGalism has at last become
ashamed of itself, and by force of circum-
stances has come tOthe correct conclusion
that we all have the same interest and
rights under the laws. The Radical
officials holding over under the new Con-
stitutiOn were about the first TO take the
oath to support it.


The Mountain District will try TO send
a Representative to the next Congress,
and the Bald Eagle may prepare to face a
frowning constituency, and bid farewell
to the halls of Congress; so rest assured
that we will do our duty when the time
comes. Col. L. a. James, of Hamilton,
would suit the people very well. l think,
however, we have plenty of good men for
the place, and we must not be clamorous
over men, but put the best foot foremost
and sustain and support it. r- .


Go on with your excellent paper. You
are gaining ground every day. | have
been at no place in the mountains but

Now that ice is high, it is worth while
to know how to keep small piece good
while. Make double pocket of strong
wooden cloth, no matter how coarse or
faded it is. Have space of two inches
or 50 between the inner and outer pockets,
and pack this space as full as possible of
feathers. You have no need to use geese
feathers; hens feathers are just as good.
With a pocket thus constructed and kept
closely tied at the mouth, few pounds
of ice may be kept week.

THE ANNUAL REPORTS of the Board of
Health and of the Fire Department are
published. According to the former the
deaths in New York during the past year was
24,6Ol. The number of fires in the city were
$50. These annual reports often make excel
lent reading. Outside Of the mere statistics
there are always number Of auxiliary items
that are particularly interesting. For in-
stance, it is shown in the report Of the Fire
Department that the Firemen's Lyceum, a
library exclusively for the use Of the depart
ment has been established and contains over
four thousand volumes. 1t is highly credit
able to the city that she should thus tighten
up the byways Of those Of her moro humble
servants who so often bear her heaviest bur-

In France the uso of the telegraph has long
been 80 cheapened as to make it familiar and
common means of communication from point
to point, but within very short time it has been
found that even then the profits were so great
as to justify very considerable reduction, and
the reduction was accordingly made, and with
what result? Simply the doubling of the num-
ber of messages sent Very nearly twice as
many dispatches are now sent over the wires
in that country as were sent under the former
rates. Here is fact for Mr.. Washburn, who
is fighting in Congress the battle of the people
for cheap telegraphing against the Western
Union monopoly. 1t is the same fact that was
found in the history OF letter postage. Cheap
postage immensely increased the number of
letters written, because it placed desired me-
dunn of communication within the reach of
persons of small means. We need no other
law to cause the general substitution of the tele-
graph for the Post Office by the people than
one making the telegraph as cheap as it may be
within paying rates. Indeed, q law that COM
pels the avaricous monopoly now holding our
telegraph system to give way to the govern
ment will accomplish oil that is necessary,
since in government hands the principle would
be only to make the system pay its oWn ex-
penses.

The report submitted at meeting Of the
German Immigrant Society on Thursday
showed that during December last four thou
sand two hundred Germans 'Ianded at this
port and went out West" The example of
these immigrants might be well followed by
the many thousands of various nationalities
who ignorantly prefer wretchedness in New
York and other cities of the Atlantic seaboard
to comfortable homes and even prospective
wealth ''out West" As for the German
immigrants their solid good qualities, their
industry and thrift, and particularly their
their healthful enjoyment of social and family
happiness, render them most valuable
element in that new American society which is
yet to be formed by the confluence Of nation
alities on this vast Western Continent. The
same report states that during last year one
hundred and one thousand Germans arrived
at this port, and one hundred and four thou
sand five hundred and fifteen during the
previous year. This large influx of German
immigration has added greatly to the intellec-
our population. Although most of the German
immigrants have wisely ''gone out West" yet
there have been among them of late years so
many skilled workmen, and so many represen
tatives Of the wealthier mercantile and manu-
featuring classes, that not few have decided
to remain in New York, which has, in fact,
already become the third German city in the
world.

BY cable despatch wo arc informed that
Baron Haussmann has been relieved Of his
functions as Prefet Of the Department Of the
Seine, and that M. Henri Chevreau, late Pre-
fet OF the Rhono, has been appointed his sue
cessor. This was the first act Of the new
Cabinet, aud, although the Emperor was very
anxious to retain the Baron in his important
Office, still he had TO yield Napoleon could
not well avoid feeling the full weight Of .
decision that removed such stanch friend
and supporter from an office Of such great
importance as tho Prefecture Of the Seine.
The Department Of the Seine, including the
city ofParis, Is the most important and vital
part of the empire, and the PrCfet not only
holds the city and its surroundings in his
power, but also the civil authorities Of the city.
Therefore the occupation Of such an Office by a
man of Baron Haussmann's calibre and well
known sentiments was . matter of no mean
import. During his torn of office he has, with
out doubt, gained worldwide reputation,
and tho many magnificent streets and palaces
that render Paris the great capital Of
Europe will for centuries to come be so many
monuments to his memory. By his
clear perception he secured the good win
Of the lab0ring classes towards the Napoleonic
policy, and that was effected by afford
ing them constant work. The 60urgeoisie,
who have doubtless effected his dismissal,
complain sadly of the burdensome taxation
brought to bear upon them by the immense
outlay caused by the hinge improvements
effected in the city of Paris. To'a certain
extent, however, this difficulty is alleviated by
the increase in tho number of foreigners who
are attracted to the capital. To please all
classes was next to an impossbility, and Baron
Haussmann knew where the true strength Of
the nation lay. The aim of his labors was to
strengthen the Emperor's position, and this he
effected by making himself the friend of the
laboring classes. Once established on that
footing he had no reason to fear any differ
ences that might transpire with the rest The
amount of engineering talent displayed by the
Baron in the arrangement of the streets and
fortfcatons of Paris proves that he was well
versed in strategical combinations. In being
deprived of the Immediate services of Baron
Haussmann the Emperor doubtless loses his
right hand man, although he secures another
stanch supporter in his successor, Mr.. Henri
Cheyreau, but his views have more liberal
tendency.

be the cause OF the uDseemly COLLISIONS between
judges winch have been frequent for some years
past.


Good as the ground here given is, much as
we ought to desire to avoid the demorallzing
influence of these conflicts between judges,
there are even Infinitely graver reasons for
the passage Of the law suggested than the
hope that 1t may put an end to suoh conflicts.
The main reason Is the necessity for carrying
out the provisions Of the constitution that are
intended to guarantee to every man the peace
able possession Of his own property. There
are several legal contrivances that furnish
warrant for open robbery and for outrage
against those individual rights that society is
supposed to protect with the greatest vigil
ance. None of these is so aptly fitted to the
hands OF unscrupulous rascals as the con-
venenoes afforded by the granting of injunc-
tions or the appointing of receivers on ec parto
application. The law and the whole power
Of society may be invoked to prevent
q man doing anything in tho world at
the very moment when it Is most vitality I'M
portant that he should do it, and the Same
power may be invoked to oust him from the
possession Of all that he owns. In the first
case, If the law affords any remedy for the
wrong it affords 1t only when 1t is too late to
be effective; and in the other case the citizen
is placed, with regard to his own property, in
the disadvantageous position Of a litigant,
suing for that which he ought only to have to
defend

WHIsKRY FRAUDS Another of those cases
Of frauds in whiskey distilling that were SO
numerous year or two ago is up before Com

the tax on whiskey from two dollars to fifty
cents per gallon these cases have decreased
with rapidly that gave the best evidence of the
wisdom of the reduction; but we suppose dis
honest men will steal at fifty cents gallon as
soon as at two dollars, probably stealing
o greater amount in order to make up the diff
ference in percentage. In this particular case
the property liable to forfeiture amounts to
one hundred thousand dollars

SPAN-THR PROPOSED DIcTAToRsHIP--It
is now manifest that Spain has arrived at
a crisis How it is to end no man can tell
All that we know is, Spain has bungled sadly,
and any way Of escape will be deliverance.
A dictatorship has been spoken of, and die
tatorship is not now impossible; but Prim
must be the dictator il there is to be any.
The question is, what does the dictatorship
mean? We will not answer; but it does seem
that wild anarchy is the most likely Of all
likely things. Disturbances have been re-
newed in the provinces, although Madrid
remains tranquil. The Ministers will not re-
sumo office unless programme Of definite
policy is adopted; but it does not appear to us
that there is any one to draft, not to soy adopt,
q programme. In the approaching Spanish
anarchy we see but one chance in favor o.
