WHAT TuDEN AND DoRsHEIMER KNOW.


[From the Evening Teegram.l


We have responsible authority for asserting that
Governor Samuel j. Tlden and Lieutenant Governor
William Dorsheimer have, during the last ten days,
both in this city and in Albany averred repeatedly
that they hold in their hands an original letter of
George S. Boutwell, to Henry Clews which affords
ground for the impeachment of President Ulysses s.
Grant, and that they describe this letter as written
to Clews by Boutwell,, as Secretary OF the Treasury
in September, 1872, directing Clews to send 5000
to the Republican State Committee OF Pennsylvania
for the purpose OF securing the success Of the repub
lican ticket in that State at the election which was
to occur in October, and promising, the authority
OF the President, to reimburse him by early secret
information Of sales Of gold to be made by the Treas
ury Department. by means of which Information he
could gamble securely and successfully in the gold
and stock markets in Wall street.


II Tilden ana Dorsneimer do hold such n letter
they reprehensible for Withholding it from the
public to suit their democratic partisan purposes OF
melodramatic occasion for its exposure.


1t they do not hold such a letter their averment
deserves denial and rcbuke


The corruption OF the official service OF the gov
yond which fidelity to the country demands the
subordination OF all party ties. The main question
is no longer the insignificant choice between keep
ing the republican party in power or putting the
dor fir inf
corruption has not risen to such pitch that govern
mcnt of the people, by the people, for the people, is
in danger OF perishing from the earth unless all
good unite to rescue it from the possession OF
the avidity OF another democratic gang no better.


WHAT GOVERNOR TILDEN SAYS.


ALBANY, March II, 1876.
called on Governor Tflden this morning and
showed him the article that appeared in the 7ese-
gram of the 14th inst.


"Governor Tildcn,r said your correspondent, sT
have called to learn from you whether there is any
truth in that articlesr


The Governor read 1t over carefully and after doing
80 handed It back to and said, eve have no such
papers,"


'There is a rumor,r said /, "that there is such a
letter in existence and that you and the Lieutenant
Governor are in possession oft. Is that factYn
He looked at me in a comical sort OF way, and
again replied, eve have no such papers.r

ALBANY, March II, 1876.
The following report has gained considerable cur
rency here:-


"Governor Tiden and Lieutenant Governor DORIS
heimer. of New York, are reported, on good au-
thorty TO have recently repeatedly declared that
they hold in their hands an original letter OF George
S. Boutwell, to Henry Cews which affords ground
for the impeachment OF President Ulysses s. Grant,
and that they describe this letter as written TO
Clews by Boutwell,, Secretary OF the Treasury. In
September, 1872 directing Cews TO send
100000 TO the Republican State Commit
tee OF Pennsylvania, for the purpose of Sc
curing the success Of the republican ticket IN
that State at the election which was TO occur in
October, and promising on the authority OF the
President, TO reimburse him by early secret in
Treasury Department, by means OF which informa-
ton he could gamble securely and successfully In
the gold and stock markets in Wall street."


The Governor when questioned as to the correct
ness of the report was silent for some moments
Then he said that the report was not well founded
When asked II he could give an idea as to where the
report originated he said had better wait and see
him again. The Governor said that'the Lieutenant
Governor knew little less about the matter than
he did.


On questioning the Lieutenant Governor he told
that he had letter like the one referred to in
his possession but said, "there is statement that
there Is such q letter."

SHOT HER MOTHER. St. Louis Re publican tells the following distressing sto- ry: 'At 8:45 o'clock this morning the busy neighborhood at the corner of Seventh and Pine streets was startled by the sharp bark of pistol, followed by the loud and continued screams of 8 woman. The sounds proceeded from the second floor of No. G23 Pine street. the next door but one from Seventh. A crowd of people at once ran up the stairs and into the first room that opens off it. There they found wo- man, Mrs. James H. Sublet, lying on the floor, wrthing and screaming, while stand ing oyer her and wringing her hands wildly was the lady's little daughter Fannie, aged | twelve years. On the floor near by was a tiny single-barrelled pistol, which seemed little more than toy. Physicians were at once summoned, and on examination they found that bullet had struck Mrs. Sublet on the right side of the abdomen and buried | itself in her liver. All efforts failed to re- cover the ball, and the wound seemed of the most dangerous character. While un- Qer treatment the Su1IereT COQIlnueu tO scream loudly, and an immense crowd gathered in front of the house, necessita- ting the interference of the police to keep the sidewalks open. Mrs. Sublet and her little girl were alone in the house, and the latter was amusing herself in little room that opens off the front room. She found 1 in stand drawer little breech-loading single-barrelled pistol of the style of der ringer and carrying ball out of all pro portion to it's size. She had seen her brother or some other little boy snapping an empty cartridge in the weapon couple of days before, and she thought to do like wise. Raising the hammer she snapped it couple of times, and had just cooked it a third time when her mother appeared at the door of the room. The little girl was not aiming the pistol at anything, but as she pulled the trigger the muzzle happened to be pointing in the direction of her mother, and the result was most distressing The little creature fully realized the serious character of the accident, and her expres- slons of grief at having shot her mother were most pitiable."

HRLL GATE ExoAvAT1oNs.-Ge John Newton of the engineer corps in charge of the Hell Gate operations, states that the ex- plosion at Hallett's Point certainly will not take place until September 1st at the earli- est. Although the work of excavation is completed, the contracts for explosive ma terials have rot yet been filled. The battery for exploding the charges will be placed near the edge of the pit; the operating rooms will be about $50 feet from it. The explosive materials used will be nitro-gly- cerine and it's various compounds, in char ges not exceeding ten pounds each, and placed at points where they will be most effective, differing in this respect from the explosion in San Francisco harbor, where the powder was massed together. General Newton explained that the water not only would act as tamping or covering, pre- venting by its weight an intense report and shock, but that the enormous amount of heat generated from the liberated gases would spend it's force in vaporizing the water, thus lessening the chances of marked agitation on the surface. It is not expected that much if any rock will be thrown above the water, except where the bed rock may have weak spots or seams. In such cases the explosion will. have more effect and throw the rock some distance in the air. The object of dispersing the nitro glycerine is to effect rending of the rock, so that it can be more effectually broken up by after blasts. The works cover three acres, and the amount of debris which will have to be removed is estimated to be not less than 3o,00o cubic yards, requiring about two years further work, expressed as his opinion that the scientific delegations which have applied for the privilege in ma king determinations in reference to the ra- pidity at which sound travels in earth, air and water will be disappointed in the re- suits of very many of their calculations, es- pecially those who propose taking stations at some distance from the work. He an dcipates no remarkable report or violent concussion, owing to the distribution of the nitro-glycerine through so large an area and in such small quantities. The effect of the blast, to use the Generals own words, will sound very much like 'an explosion in a tub of mush.' The only work being done at the present time is pumping the water out as fast as 1t drains into the tunnels.

A PAIR OF WEDDED MIsERs.-Three miles from Newark, N. J., have lived for many years an aged couple who were miser- ly and penurlous in their habits to the last degree. Two months ago the husband, who had been sufferer from drospy, began to fear that he was likely to die, and his love of life proving stronger than his love of money, desired to send for physician. His wife not being moved by the same fear, saw in it only wastefal expenditure of roney, and refused to consent. After suf- fering in weak condition for some time, however, he managed to communicate with a neighbor who sent for physician. The latter gave hlm no hope of recovery, but made a simple prescription for his relief, and directed as to his diet. The wife did not deem it wise to spend money on man who was already practically dead, and re- fused absolutely to purchase either medi = cine or proper food. The neighbors, how ever, procured both, and furnished them to the dying man at his bedside for several weeks. A few days ago the mlser died and the wife refused to send for an under taker or allow the friendly neighbors to do SO. and the body remained uncared for dur ing the terrible hot weather, and until de- composition had set in. Finally number of women who were acquainted with the wife insisted that the body should be buried and sending for an undertaken they pro ceeded to lay it out. Selecting good uu- derclothing for this purpose, they had the corpse partially dressed, when the wife in

 terfered and pulled the garments from the

 body, declaring them entirely too good to

 be put under the ground, and substituting

 old and worn out ones ln their place.

The charm Ol the poetry

 For which some would sadly sigh.

 The voice of Mrs. B. does not combine the richness and depth for the expression of the choicest emotions that is possessed by some public speakers of her sex, but it is flexible, and having the instinct to speak in measure there goes with the utterances a sort of leading-on way that is pleasant to the ear, hoover the words may bear little weight of thought as to argument CT any other value.

 Perhaps tho speaker could tell what the motion or gesture had to do with the senti- ment. This was the appearance. She moved gently to the right three steps, then returned to the center; took from three to five steps to the left and then returning to the center, she spread her hands, then fold ed her hands. then clasped her hands. This action accompanied the whole of the talk that evening. It might be conjectured that there was sort of chime between the outward and the inward.

 Had she taken UisSble company to the platform and they disposlng themselves in attitude for step, the result would have been that ceremony known as a religious dance celebrated by certain body of se- lect people, However, the measure to which they move

 In steady flow, as on they go. Is fast--then slow its notes can show Mrs. B.'s not so, but uniform. c. M. L

A @S0&A OoSS'7-&Au hSSIofdLSu CaSe OA domestic infelicity was made public at the trial of the husband before a justice last Friday afternoon, in this village, on the charge of assault and battery. The man, to him, her paramour being colored man, and his nearest neighbors it is said, are as convinced as the strongest circumstantial evidence can make them that the accusation of the wife by the husband is correct. The husband who remains away at his work several days at time, returned very unex- pectedly last Thursday evening, and saw with his own eyes what was more positive proof that 'something was wrong," than the stories of his neighbors could make to him. He was naturally extensively wroth, and probably talked at tone of voice ele- Yated to higher key than was consistent with the quiet of the neigbborhood. For aught we know he may have boxed the ears of his wife for her naughty conduct, but her appearance at the trial indicated no very severe bumps. The case was duly presented by the counsel pro and con, ,and a verdict was rendered by the justice, fning the husband seven dollars and costs for as. sault and battery. This decision may have been a righteous one, but considering the circumstances, which everybody will admit were slightly, if not extensively, aggrava ting, it is thought the law of the land, if this is specimen of it, ought at least to be tinkered up little. More than this. The decision may have been law, but it was an outrage on humanity; yea, on common de- cency, to compel that poor man to pay something like twenty five dollars for be- coming indignant or intensely angry at the almost positive discovery of criminal inti- macy between his white wife aud colored man.

The Republican Judicial Conven-

Wednesday of next week, at Green
field.


AS the district is quite close, and
there are two Judges to elect, it has
been suggested that the Democrats
make no nomination for the short
term, and the Republicans none for
lifelong term, SO that there will be one
Judge of each party chosen by com
mon consent. We endorse the sug-
gestion as eminently proper, and
worthy of the Centennial year, that
for once the district should elect
Judges without any display of party
feeling, and we hope the Central
Committees of both parties will take
the necessary action to bring about
the desired result.

the people, and though he enters the race with

The Brazilian coffee crop now grow
ing is estimated at Il probable yield Of
three million bags, and the commercial
organs are discussing prospects and
prices with as much ability as though
the public did not know that prices are
regulated by other influences than
crops and demand. No sooner was the
the coffee duty removed from our own
tariff than the Brazilian government
clapped it on there in the shape of an
import duty, and the coffee trade was
subjected to a vigorous combination in
Rio aud New York, backed by heavy
capital, which controlled prices in the
interests of spectators. 1t is said
that this combination is broken aud
scattered and that there is better pros
