The Thru* states that Tweed has concluded to pay 1420,000 to Jackson 8. Schulte, as the assignee of Keyset, for work and material furnished to Tweed's boueee. Tweed's original defence was that Key tor screed to do this work la consideration of receiving aerials contracts. This action of Tweed's will stop one bull against him. Charles O'Conor has sent a long letter to the com mittee. declining his nomination to the Assembly, in uhich he reviews the repeating system at elections, as well as the terrorism exercised over poor men at the polls by political hirelings.

A night passed alone in a hollow Cyprus tree wan. in point of horror and anguish, a twin to the one I bare just gone through alone, fastened j down in the cabin of a Dutch bark, while the I typhoon raged in fury and tore down masts, and ripped off cables, and swamped vessels, and sucked in men’s lives, and roared with the united tongues of hell let loose to wreak veu -1 peooce on poor humanity. I, being only a wo man, was forgotten, and left to meet my fate alone whilst men strove and wrestled with the danger and fought for their lives; whilst they hoped and feared and contended until the ex citement of the struggle banished the poignancy of pain. For nine hours I sat alone, peering with ach ing eyeballs into the darkness, watching for the Kinc of Terrors, whose form I knew well was enshrouded in its tenebrious (old; listening with strained ears to catch the first sound of that voice of dealti which should announce my dia solution. But there was only the one awesome boom, drowning all in its hollow depths. The cries of the sailors, the cracking of the timbers, the trumpet orders of the Captain,tbo avalancb of rain, all were cngulphed in tuis demoniacal roar, as in a dead stillness. It was unlike any other storm I experi enced, and worse than one in the Bay of Biscay, where I spent one fcarlul Christmas day of my life. Old sailors unaccustomed to typhoon, de clared they had never heard such a sound. TVc heard no shreiking of the ship's timbers, no whistling of the wind through the rigging, no growled thunder; no flash of lighthing reveal ing bow fur the disaster had spread. It was a supernatural sound—as though the mighty winds had been gathering from the four quar ters, rushing in a whirlwind round this devoted spot, and hurling each other in clamorous, fran tic blast. I knew that I was still alive, but whether the only one on board surviving I could not tell; or whether any of the ships with which the harbor is studded, bad broken loose, and were drifting swiftly down to their own and our destruction; whether our two enormous anchor chains would hold another second or snap with the frightful plunges of the little bark, and drive us whirling on the rocks. The morning showed what had been the dire result to many le-s fortunate than we. Vessels with broken masts and spars were to be seen on nil sides; same cast ashore bespoke the horrors of the night; and yet more sadjr was the store had foundered, their top-gallants alone indicat ing their whereabouts. Others bad dragged heir anchors for miles, carrying devastation wherever they fouled. One of these—a French ship—ran ashore, when the crew threw out a rope; and all escaped save the Captain, who re mained to the last and perished at his post; bis death cry was smothered in the billowy foam and wf>s beard by none but bis Maker as he passed from the light and sound of man. When the sun shone out for a few moments J over those green, velvety-looking, rocky is lands, which surround one of the loveliest bays in the world, their shores were strewn with wrecks and human victims. The “sampans” and smaller craft had sought shelter early in the day, but many a poor Chinaman lost bis little all during the severe scourge. Wretched looking vessels from outside the bay were towed in during the day, all tattered and torn, and disabled from the terrible conflict. Time only can show how many met a more fearful doom. For years such a fierce hurricane has not been known, for, although short, it made up in point of fury—commencing about 5 o’clock on Satur day, reaching its climax from 10 to 12, and subsiding between 3 and I on Sunday morning. The whole day of Saturday had been stormy and threatening, and when onr pilot had come on boaid we could distinguish, amid the cack ling of Chinese, the word “typhoonl typhoon I*' which talismanic syllables caused our bark to “go about” more than twenty times before we could a:ake the passage into the bay, where we were able to lake up our berth and prepare for the worst. i The P. M. S. S. from San Francisco was then outside, and it was feared she might not pet in, owing to the fierce contrary winds blowing stronger cvcrv moment. She succeeded, though the Captain and officers had to b« lashed on deck. An American coolie ship, which had sailed in company with us several days, not be ing able to make the port, anchored outside. She was lowed in the following day'with cleared decks, having lost everything. Bach vessel as it came in, dismantled and disabled, told its own tale of the misery and struggle that its living freight bad endured, i The disasters on shore were chiefly confined to properly. A fine sea wall was carried away, numerous "buildings blown down; also, the cir cus, several blocks ol booses, and the telegraph 1 poles. The City Hall nod the clock tower es caped with the loss of all their glass. The Great Northern Telegraph Line to Deepwater Bay is much damaged. One gentleman saved fourteen lives from a Chinese junk, which ought to ennoble him for the rest ot his life. 1 am sorry for bis immortal fame that bis name was Smith. Huge blocks ot granite, which formed the Praya wall, were buried by the force of the elemental warf ten and twenty yards oat of their position. Trees were twisted from their roots, shutters and verandahs dashed about like autumn leaves. One German bark, hailing from the game port as ourselves, and whose Captain bad taken, not bis little daughter, but bis wife, “to bear him company, bad just arrived from the home in Bremen. They reached Hong Kong shortly be fore us, but were unable to keep their anchor age, and were swept out agaht on to those fierce rocks which yet arc so gorgeous in their Mos lem coloring of crimson and green. There the whooping winds glorying in their savagu power swept clean her deck of men and masts, and all things animate and inanimate; the Captain with his wife “whobore him company” on his late journey are walking the starless road of death together into eternity. A British ship struck and foundered with all bands save two, a man and a dog; the gallant beast swam ashore under the man's arm, bearing him up over the storm-lashed snrf, accomplish ing one cf the most heroic acts which great ca tMlrophfS like this so often bring forth. Tet tfaoee seething waves closed over many a deed which never will reach the longue of tame, as well as concealed many an ignoble dastard. It would be impossible to chronicle within the limits of this letter the tragedies which befel or were ascertained. Many vessels sank, of which their disappearance is the only record, and for which wivee and mothers will look out to sea for many a day in vain. Dsaste to PlnsTlmbsri From the Green Bay (WU.) Advocate. Captain W. R. Bourne, who has recently returned from a visit to thp Wolf River pineries, tells ns that, in bis opinion, the pine 'damaged by the recent fires on the Wolf River and its tributaries (the Sbioc, Embarraa, and Red Rivers) will amount to 50,000,000 feet. If this nine la all cut the coming winter and got into the streams, tbe damage to it wilt be about 11.00 per thousand feet; but if not cut the lou will be almost total, as U would be bored by worms another season and destroyed for every purpose hut fencing. There is very Utile pine injured above Ecahena. Thus the lightest esti mate of damage to the Wolf River pine is fSO.OOO. Tbe pineries along the bay shore hare suffered to a sUU greater extent, bnt tbe damage Is easier repaired, provided the lumb<*rmen can raise the means to put into (be river two or years* stock of logs, fora touch greater amount of loos can bo nut into the Menominee, Oconto, and Peshtigo Rivers, which are not nav jnnblr, than into the Wolf, where they would Interfere with navigation.

Money Article, Independent of the courage and inlerprise al ready manifested by the inhabitants of tbo stricken city, and the unequalled outside sym pathy and more material aid, Chicago bears such natural relations to tbe rest of tbo coun try that it must speedily rise. Nature made it tbe centre of great businca.% and consequently an important traffic attends it. The coflrt to the past all tbe time has been to keep tbo facilities of the city up to the requirements of tbo trade that steadily all the time pressed open it. The elements of iucrcsso there never rest. It is, therefore, absurd to be despondent or to fear a great city lost to the counuy. Traffic there may be checked by diversion to other centres for a season, ora year or two, but four or five years will show the burned dis trict so thoroughly covered by buildings of greatly increased values, that to a stranger the the now blackened ruins will lie detected only by their brighter and more improved appear ance. This is a feature especially to be consid ered by those Eastern creditors who bold mort gages "there. They will probably lose something by the temporary suspension of interest, but ultimately, and not very remotely, this properly held in security will bo greatly increased in valno. Portland, which waa one-third destroyed in 1666, waa larger and richer in 1870 than ton years before. The recovery in Chicago will bo even more rapid, for the business of the great West cannot do without a Chicago ns it could do without a Portland. From tbe national cen sus taken lost year the population of Chicago was 299,270. The merchants of the city were confident that the enumeration was grossly In accurate. and suggested the publication of a “census directory for the city." This sugges tion was carried out, and the population, as ascertained by this census, was 334,270—m0re than 35,000 in excess of tbe national enumera tion. and establishing the claim ot Chicago to be tbe fourth city on the continent in popula tion. In 1830 Chicago was 70 souls. Last year the value of property was $260,000,000; and lor the current fiscal year the city levied a tax of fifteen mills on tue dollar, on a taxable basis of $223,634,600 of real property, and $52,- 342.950 of personal property t—t«a.x latter was fndfvidual personal property; $43,647,920; bank personal property, $7,511,600; vessels, $1,184,430. The value of the receipts of the principal articles of trade for the year 1870 is calculated at $399,835,000, which is aa apparent decrease of about 3 per cent from the amount of the previous year, but on a gold basis au increase over that year of about 9 per cent. There were in the city sixteen National banks, with a capital of $6,550,000, and nine or ten private banks, with a capital of $3,000,000. There were in Chicago, before the fire, seventeen large groin elevators, having an aggregate capacity of 11,580,000 bushels, the largest bolding 1,600,000, and the others 1,250,000 each. A city of all these vast resources of men and of business cannot be extinguished, or even de pressed for more than a very brief period. Even although all the home capital were annihilated, and the native enterprise extinguished, Chicago has got to be, and must be again the grand dis tributing centre for all the surrounding coun try, even if ail the capital for its reconstruction and the re-establishment of its business enter prise has to be wholly drawn from the outside. As to the city and county bonds, the same reflec ions arc applicable. Her city debt on the Ist of April Inst, including its funded debt witter bonds, sewerage liabilities, river improve* ment l>onde, and floating debt, amounted, all told, to only $14,417,421; and for-all this she has something to show —something that fire can not touch. She has raised her territory, coo* structcd fewer?, built water works, tunnelled under ber river for streets, turned the current of her river to promote sanitary interests, and tor all this expenditure of money she la yet to re ceive the reward, as the investment is good, and is doubtless yet to servo as the basis of a wore complete and enduring Chicago than the one which has been so nearly destroyed. Immense Frauds by Government Coltsn Agents. Washington Despatch to the Cincinnati Comtaor* The investigation by the United States Court of Claims into the various claims against (be United States for cotton seized by government officers during the rebellion, brings out some re markable developments which tend to throw additional light on the mystery which has sur rounded the sale of cotton by government agents shorllv after it was seized from the rebel? du ring the war. The government realized from this sale about $30,000,000, but the examination of the government agents' books, and other evi dence which has been obtained through the prosecution of these claims, re veals the fact that the cotton was worth over twice that amount. It appears that some of the agents at New York disposed of the cotton at 29 cents a pound when Us market value at tbc time of the sale was 75 cents per pound. Some of the agents appear to have been in collusion with the purchaser?, and the poorest kinds ot cotton were shown as samples ot the entire lot held by the government, the bidders getting it by this arrangement, at the low figure of 29 cents per pound, and subsequently selling It at the market price, thereby reaming a handsome profit. The claimants, however, refuse to base their claim at a figure less than Us market value at the time of the sale, and it is feared that the government will, io refunding the money for these cotton seizures, .be a considera ble loser, especially now that the British claim ants stand a chance before the mixed commis sion of being allowed some compensation for these losses. It is now known at the Treasury that several of these cotton agents defrauded the govern* incnt out of large amounts ot money. These accounts show this, but what steps there will be taken to recover its just dues, has not been decided upon. The Motional Congregational Connell, Troa the Boston Journal. Oct. 38.

The BepuUleaa Tlcterr an OaUTamla. Tbe Republican victory pt the judicial election in Caliiornia, oa Oct. 18, was even more thor ough and cornpleie than.that in tbe regular State election in September. Tbe Sacramento Union U (be tthu iuat. asya; “AafkruUie ben* cooetad Ik* indication! are that a light vote comparatively has been cast, but that the State candidates on the Republican ticket hate been elected by ma jorities larger than their brethren received in the September elrction. In San Francisco the minorities range from 2,812 to 6,388, Bolander receiving the latter and Rhodes the former, i while Niles carries the city over his opponent by 4,259, The majorities in Alameda County are about 1,200, Bolander leading the ticket by a few extra votes. At Vallejo the Republicans a round thousand majority, and Sacra* mento shows her .heart in the v causo of good government by giving another thousand. In no place is there any material falling o S, and all the signs are to the effect that the State.bas gone Republican by from 10,000 to 12 000 major ity. There was a mighty effort put forth fay the Democratic prees to continue the reign of Fitzgerald as Superintendent of Public Instruc tion another four years, but it has been for naught, Bolander beating him badly even in places regarded as doubtful." XHE POISONING OF BVTH< Trial of Dr. Medlleott—Comrictlou of 91 order in the First Degree. From the St. Louis Democrat, Oc t.BB. The telegraph informs us that the jury in the case ot Dr. Medlicott, after oat from half past 9 o'clock on Wednesday mgbt until half past 8 o’clock Thursday morning, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The jury could not consistently have found a verdict for any leaser degree, under the circumstances, as the laws of Kansas makes killing by poison murder. One juror stated that ho was in favor of murder in the sec ond degree, but yielded to tbe opnions o! the other twelve. A motion for a new trial wot made, and ns it will probably not be granted by Judge Btusclt, the case will go to the Supreme Court, A large number of exceptions were taken to the rulings of tbe Court, during the progress of the trial, and it is not improbable that some of these rulings may be de cided to bafo been erroneous. For there was one rather curious piece of testimony. Johnson, the ceU-pytte of Medlicott, was not allowed to state what Medlicott said in bis sleep, p but was permitted to state what be told Medlicott he bad said in bis sleep. These somnambulic rev elations bad, doubtless, their full influence upon the minds of the jurors. There are other points upon yrhich the counsel for the defence confi dently expect to obtain from tbe Supreme Court a reversal of tbo judgment. _ The cose, taken in all its details, is one of tbe most singular and interesting in the annals o« criminal jurisprudence. A brief epitome of the leading tacts connected with it may not be un- interesting. Isaac M. Ruth bad married, as his second wife, tb© divorced wife of Mr. Seymour Voul laire, of this city, at a time when Voullaire was supposed to be in a dying condition from a pistol-ball fired by Ruth. Several months af terward. Ruth and bis wife removed to Law rence, Kansas, where Ruth had resided before tbe war. Ruth obtained a situation as book keeper in tbe office of the Lawrence “Tribune," and waa aquict, industrious man ofbnslness. About tbe same time a young pbysi- ciADi named John J. Medlicott, loca* ted at Lawrence, and commenced the practice of bis profession. Ho was about thirty years of age, well-educated, of good address, manners and appearance. His wife was about twenty years his senior—a quiet patient, unassuming woman. He had married her in Maryland, against the remonstrance of her friends, who be* ileved her Utile fortune of fire or six thousand dollars had more to do with MedUcolt's choice than affection lor the woman. The young phy fcjrian obtained ajfair practice,and was a.member of ihe Episcopal church. Medlicott became the family physician of Ruth, nod bis account book, produced in court, showed thnt he made no charge lor his services, al ...jouph bis visits were as frequent as twice ft indeed, so frequent were bis visits to Mrs. Ruth, and so uniformly were tbe doors locked nnd the curtains drawn, that the neigh bors gossiped about it, and surmised that there was a criminal intimacy between the parlies. In December last Mcdlicolt’s wife died very suddenly, and it is rtmaika- We that hi-r symptoms strongly resem bhd those of Ruth at bis death four months later. Dark bints were thrown out at ’be time, but little was said, and tbo body was interred at Lawrence. The cau*e 6f her death was slated to be apoplexy, but ft physician who was there at the time declares that no symptoms of apoplexv were observable. In the memoran dum book in winch Ruth wrote his last letteris a penciled note of the death of Mrs. MedltcoU, from which be wrote her obituary in the news paper, and it is there staled that she died of ap oplexy. There can be uo doubt that Medlicol*. himself furnished the dates and cause of dealt to Ruth. Afterthc death offals wife, the Doctor became still more attentive to bis patient, who, accord* ing to her own statement, was afflicted with multitudinous sores in various parts of her body, and spent a great part of her time in bed. Yet it appears she frequently alluded dances, and sometimes rode out witb the Doctor m his buggy. Notwithstanding the gossip of the torn, it docs not appear that Rutb w ™lou3 of the attentions of the Doctor to ms wife, but remained on friendly terms with him up to the vorv hour of bis death. On tbo acih of April, in tho afternoon, Mrs. Ruth went to Leavenworth on a visit. That night Ruth and Medlicotl played three games of chess at the bouse of the former, and they ported between 9 and 10 o’clock. The next morning Ruth was found dead in his bed, with froth and blood oozing from his month. Of course the family physician was the first person sent for, and bis conduct in the presence of the deed cx cited remark. The strongest feature of the whole case is the letter written by Ruth to his wife, just before he died, informing her that Mcdlicott had guen him a quinine powder, half an hour before, and requesting her, in case of his death, to have his body examined. In this letter he describes bis symptoms with some minuteness, and states that the clock has just struck 11. Tho mem orandum book waa found lying on his coat, on the piano, with his vest and pants lying on it. The questions will at once rise, why did be not call to bis assistance tho physician who slept next door, within a few feet of his room? By doiug so he might have saved his life. He, however—strange as it may appear—spent the last moments of consciousness in writing a let ter, which, on the trial,was the most convincing evidence that he was murdered. As soon as tho letter was discovered Mcdlicott was arrested and lodged in jail. He iramed:- alclv sent for a lawyer, and the result of the conference was that the lawyer had Mrs. Ruth taken to his own house, immediately on her return from Leavenworth, and before she bad seen the corpse of her husband. What trans pired between the lawyer and the lady has not been revealed, but the prisoner subsequently stated that the lawyer assured him "there was no danger.” In the cell in which Mcdlicott was confined was n young man named Henry Johnson, alios Sperry—the same man who was fined in the United Slates Circuit Court in this city about a year ago, for defrauding the Revenue Depart ment. Johnson was imprisoned on a charge of burglarv and larceny. He became satisfied of Med'Hcott’s guilt from bearing him talk in his sleep. The spirits of the dead haunted him in his dreams. The apparation of bis wife toxcrcd over him in his midnight slumbers, and he started up with glaring eye balls and exclaimed, Oh, God, Sarah, are you here?*’ The dying agonies of Ruth were re enacted in his dreamy imagination, and he would smooth the drapery of bis couch and say, Be oviet, Ruth Take this, and it will do you good. Johnson, who is described as a pr'ofesional burglar in appearance, conceived the idea of winning bis own freedom by obtaining satis factory evidences of tho guilt of bis fellow prisoner. “He succeeded in gaining Medlicott’s confidence, and in obtaining from him letters that are a virtual confession of guilt. One of these letters was a glowing love-sick epistle to Hrs. Ruth, written, os slated on the stand, to change the current of her feelings against him. To understand this expression, it is necessary to know that the newspapers bad published a report that Mrs. Ruth bad vowed vengeance against the murderer of ber husband, ana had sworn ber children over bis coffined corpse to avenge his death. These fearful threats explain why Medil cott was so anxious to mollify her—why he wrote in one of the Intercepted letters that be could not go io court without knowing what this woman will swear to.” The analysis of the contents of the stomach, made by the chemists, showed that Ruth had died of morphine poison, and from a subse quenl examination of another portion of the body, discovered the pre- j sence of atropine, as testified by the chemist. The body of Mrs. Medlicotl was also exhumed, and it is said that these two poisons were dis covered. It appears that a mixture of two poisons will have the effect of preventing the usual post-mortem appearances produced by either, although the one is frequently used as an antidote for the other. These, and numerous minor facts and circum stances, were carefully gathered by the prosecut ing attorney, and on the Inal were presented to the jury in each a clear and forcible manner that no doubt remained of the guilt of the ac cused, and the verdict was "murder in the first degree.” The defense attempted to account for the death of Ruth on three theories—first, that be died from the effects of quinine, taken in the worst stage of a congestive chill; secdud. that he took morphine by mistake for quinine; third, that he committed suicide, and wrote the dying letter to save bis life insurance policr. In sup port of the first theory, they proved by several respectable physicians that quinine some time* killed when injudiciously administered. In support of the second theory, that morphine was taken by mistake, it was shown that both quinine end morphine were-in the room ia boxes resembling each other, and it was easy for one to be mistaken for the other. The theory of suicide was sustained by ingenious facts and arguments. IMP Bapotted 6am*a hUcorery of an Open Fslar Mem.

Tbe most favorable route to the North Pole lies right up in the midst between Spitzbergen and Navigasemlia, which confirms the view for which I contended so many years.

After sustaining a bombardment of two days' duration—defending it, as he,said In his des patch to the War Secretary at Washington, “until tbe quarters were entirely burnt, tbe main gates de stroyed by fire, tbe gorge waUsserionsly lojarod, tbs magazines surrounded by flames and tte door closed from tbe eCfecta'of beat, four barrels and three car tridges of powder only being available, and; no pro visions remaining tut pork'—be accepted tbe terms of evacuation offered by General Beauregard, and marched out of tbo foit on Sunday afternoon, the 14tb of April, 1871, with colors flying and drums beating, bringing away company and private property, and sa luting bis flag with fifty guns. On the reception of this news salutes were fired to bis honor at Reading, Fa.. In Philadelphia, and la Boston. »nd tbe citlseoa of Trenton voted to present him with a sword.

Same, Esq., Adjuster for the Company, is engaged in adjusting its losses with all rea sonable despatch, drawing on the Company at siorht as fast as their liability can be ascertained. By refusing to take advantage of the sixty-day clause in their Policy, the Company virtually donates over SI,OOO to our suffering citi zens—an example worthy of imi tation by wealthy Companies, whose losses are light compared to their assets. This sterling old Company, by adhering to the principle of an adequate rate for the risk assum ed. is enabled to afford undoubted indemnity to its patrons-. The following figures give soma idea of the management of the WILLIAMSBURGH Total premiums received from the organization of the Company, in 1853, to Jan. 1,1871, $2,216,392. Total losses paid from organiza tion to Jan. 1, 1871, $1,308,334. DIRECTORS i EDWARD DRIOC- 4 Collector of City of Brooklyn. EDWIN RKKBi*. Lumber, Conckiin, Itua ft Boers.
