The persons so des ignated are notified of a meeting at headquar ters, 442 Main street, this evening. The performances of the Ravel pantomime troupe are such as we can recommend to the patronage ol all lovers of real fun, if our ex changes may be relied upon; for they all praise their pantomime “Pat-a-cake, Baker's Man,” as first rale. A good pantomime company will be appreciated here, for genuine, mirth-provoking drollery is always acceptable. The committees appointed at the labor reform conventions to select candidates for representa tives from the loth and 11th districts, have re ported the following names: 10th district, Albion Carpenter, John Colbert and A. J. Walker; 11th district, Geo. E. Mansfield, J. Timon and Geo. T. Collins. The temperance meeting, in the Summer street chapel, last evening, was addressed by W. Mecorney, M. Almy Aldrich, T. K.

Mrs. Murphy thinks that Tim Leary threw them, for the reason that she complained of a liquor nuisance kept by him a while ago, ami be had announced his inten tL;. of having the cost of his fine out of the Murphy family in some way. She thinks he began by breaking the windows. When Russell’s train from the west came in Saturday night, a fellow named Michael Kelley was turned over to officers Johnson and Atkin son, for safe keeping. When the train stopped at West Brookfield, Mr. Chas. D. Bigelow, of this city, discovered that his carpet-bag was gone, and remarked his loss to a fellow passen ger, who saw Kelley leave the train with it. They immediately went around to the rear of the depot, where they found the thief with the stolen bag.

A Rich Concert Dress.—A correspondent thus describes the elegant costume worn by Mrs. Moulton at her concert in this city Friday evening: “It was a heavy silk, of that peculiar pale green color, known as Eun de Nile, made with a full court train; the skirt was covered with deep point de Venisc, looped up at the sides; the bottom was finished with a flounce of silk, over which fell another of the same width of the lace, and the top was finished with a cordon of bonilline, over which was another row of lace; the train was bordered with a wide flounce of silk and lace, similar to that on the skirt; the corsage was cut decollete, with trim mings of lace, and very short sleeves. Around her neck she wore a band of large diamonds. She wore long white kid gloves, and one arm near the shoulder was encircled by a mag nificent jeweled serpent, a gift toiler from the Empress Eugenic. Her hair was dressed with white flowers, mingled with diamonds, and the entire costume presented an elegant appear ance.” A Young Rogue.—Rei Munroe Hills, a young man eighteen years of age, was arrested by pfficcr Ranger, Saturday, in compliance with a request from the city marshal vs ©lorrcMcr Saito Spn VOL. 26, NO. 263. Me., who wants him for breaking and entering, lie came from Maine here about four weeks ago, and has been working in Gray’s shop on Central street as a screw maker, for $1.25 per day. The fellow has been very lavish with money since he has been here, much more so than his wages would warrant, and when ar rested had about $l5O in his several pockets, be sides two watches, which he bought at a store here for SSO. He says his home is in Windham, N. H. The letter to City Marshal Drennan states that the proof against him in Lewiston is positive, and says that he has sometimes gone by the name of John H. Davis. To the Republicans of Worcester.—The republican city committee on Saturday issued the following timely appeal: To the Republicans of Worcester: It is well understood that a large number of persons have been naturalized during the past year, and that the democratic party of this city are making preparations to bring out their entire vole, with a view of defeating a part of the republican candidates at the annual election. For the ac complishment of this end attempts have al ready been made to control, by outside influ ences, the deliberations of the conventions of the labor reform party, and to rouse the local piejudices of a portion of our citizens. Im portant interests of our city, particularly the ex tension of the Barre and Gardner railroad, are thus endangered by this adroit attempt to se cure the election of men not in sympathy with the views and interests of the people of Worces ter. It therefore becomes the imperative duty of every republican to give his vole at the election, and to aid by every legitimate means in his power in securing the triumph of the entire re publican ticket. Rally then, fellow icpublicans, at the polls next Tuesday, and thus prevent our city from being misrepresented in its principles and in its most important local interests. Exhibition of Ferneries.—This unique exhibition opens to-morrow evening, and the committee are desirous to know as soon as pos sible the number of ferneries, hanging baskets and designs in ferns and mosses they are to have sent in. Apart from the chance of a pre mium it is hoped and expected that all who have any of the articles called for will be willing to assist the association in their efforts to carry on so valuable and useful an institution in this city as to send them in for exhibition. The com mil tee expect to have on sale fern cases, (either slocked or not); also mosses, etc., arranged for display in the parlor. The large aquaria owned by the association has been started again and will be on exhibition in connection with the many thousand specimens in the cabinet. Further particulars will be found in the adver tisement. Dedication of the Rooms of the Peo ple’s Club.—The new rooms at Brinley hall, just fitted up by this club, will be dedicated at 71 o’clock this evening by appropriate exercises. The president will give a statement of what has been done in the past, ami the designs for the future operations ol the club. Remarks are also expected from other gentlemen, and good music will be furnished by a select choir. To-night will be an appropriate time to join the club and aid in the philanthropic objects for which it was organized, and all interested are invited to be come members. It has a wide field of useful ness, and should receive the hearty sympathy and aid of all good citizens. The public are earnestly and cordialiy invited to be present this evening and hear what may be said in support of such an institution. The rooms will be open on Tuesday evening under the direction of the “hospitality section” to all who desire to avail themselves of its advantages. Superior (Criminal) Court.—Devens, J. Saturday.

Kimball, Lucius Aldrich, John E. Davis, Leander P.Comee, Lemuel Long, Thomas Upton, Stephen Shepley and Dr. Thomas Palmer, testified as to the reputation for veracity of John D. Williams, the essential witness for the government, that it was bad, or very bad. John D. Plasc and Wm. F. Day contradicted statements made by John I). Williams. Horace Chipman, who lived with Mr. Morse at the time his wife left him, testified as to her leaving in the early spring of 1867, as did also Mrs. Emm eline K.

Gould, formerly of Fitchburg, now of Vineland, N. J., testified that he first introduced Sawyer to Mrs. Morse, in his (Dr. G.’s) office, in Fitchburg, in October, 1867. This was at variance with that portion of the testimony for the government, affirming the previous acquaintance of the par lies, and what had transpired between them, previous to that date*] Dr. Alfred Miller of Fitchburg testified in reference to his malical attendance upon Mrs. Morse during the night previous to the morning when Johan na Flaherty, a witness for the government, testi fied that she found Mrs. Morse in Sawyer’s room, at the hotel. Dr. M. testified that Mrs. Morse was very sick during the night, in her own room, being there himself till three o’clock in the morning. After the beginning of Mrs. Morse’s testimony in her own behalf, the court adjourned till Wednesday morning next at nine o'clock, when the case will be continued.

A dove which was flying about near the West boro depot, a lew days ago, became bewildered in the steam from a locomotive and flew directly under the wheels, which crushed it. This is the first instance of killing birds by running over them in their flight. Mr. F. D. Handy of Clinton, of the firm of G. F. Swift Co., met with an accident Friday noon. As he was stepping into a car at the de pot, he fell backward, falling upon a rock and injuring his back, so that he was unable to walk. The extent of his injuries cannot as yet be determined.

The Webster Post Office Question.— Another attempt to determine who shall be postmaster at Webster has been arranged. When the question was up, a year ago, the con gressional district committee proposed that Mr. Day should keep the office until the end of this year, and then resign; and that the republicans of Webster should determine by ballot whether E. P. Carter or some other republican should be his successor. The end of the year approaches; and Mr. Hoar, having consulted the committee, asks Judge Jillson and Mr. Bartholomew to call and hold a meeting for such a ballot.

The ottering of the testimonial to Minister Washburne on Thursday was a very agreeable affair. A large number of Americans waited upon the minister and presented silver ware, consisting of an elegant dinner and tea service of fine silver, the product ol American mines and of American manufacture. An appropriate address, reciting that the tokens were offered as an earnest of the donors' respect, gratitude and admiration for the minister’s dis tinguished public services and his kindness to all {Americans who remained in Paris during the siege, accompanied the gifts. Mr. Wash burne accepted the testimonial, and replied to the address in a few graceful remarks, in which he took occasion to acknowledge and praise the zealous co-operation of Col. Hoffman, the secre tary of legation, and other members of the dip lomatic household. Great Britain. THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT LAW. London, Nov. s.—The correspondence and newspaper controversy in regard to authors’ rights and an international copyright law,which have been attracting the notice of the literary world for some time past, have taken so person al a turn anil have become so heated, that the Times declares its intention to close its columns to any further communications on the subject. Already one libel suit has grown out of the con troversy, Mrs. Norton having brought prosecu tion against one of the writers on the subject. Anatria. THE NEW CABINET AND ITS POLICY. Vienna, Nov. s.—The new ministry, to the formation of which Baron Von Kellersburg has been called, is not yet definitely constituted; but the following “slate,” which is current in political circles, is generally believed to be ac curate: For president, with portfolio of the interior, Baron Von Keltcraberg; finance, Holze gethan; worship, Destremayer; justice, Chlimctzkv; commerce, Deplener; war, Schoel; agriculture, Grocholski. Holzegethan and Destremayer were members of the ministry of the court of Potocki, and Deplener of Count Taatfe’s cabinet. The new president hasdeclared that the policy which compelled the retirement of Count Ho henwart will be vigorously pursued. Some of its friends having lieen deceived by stories of a compromise, it is distinctly announced that no compromise is in contemplation likely to be made. The diets of Bohemia, Moravia, Carnio la, Upper Austria and Galicia, will be dis solved as soon as the government is definitely settled. Npaiu. PLOT. London, Nov. 5.—A telegraph special from Paris contains the statement that a plot against the government of Spain of a dangerous char acter, has been discovered in that city. THE COUPON QUESTION. Madrid, Nov. s.—The sub-committee of the budget vvmuuliw vl Uu COHVj Um agreed to WORCESTER: MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1871. report favorably on the proposed tax on the cou pons of the Spanish bonds. the expected excitement. It is believed that an attack on the government by the icpublicans, under the lead of Senor Zo villa, will be made in the cortes during the com ing week, on the subject of the manner of dealing with the international society. SenON Zorilla and Sagosta are widely at variance on this point, the latter supporting the government heartily. A compromise between Sagosta and Zorilla. which has, up to this time, been discussed and anticipated among conservative republicans, is now thought to be impossible, as the agitation of this matter of the treatment of the interna tionals is sure to produce a complete rupture. C>k*rmaiiy. additional power for the emperor. Berlin, Nov. s.—The reichstag has passed the war fund bill. During the debate prior to its passage, Prince Bismarck urged on the mem bers the necessity in the present aspect of Euro pean affairs of strengthening the country by thus empowering the emperor to act promptly and freely under any adverse or threatening cir cumstances which may arise. The passage of the war fund bill, which was recommended in the emperor’s address at the opening of the reichstag, would leave his majesty unshackled, and would virtually place Prussia in a position to act upon the otlcnsivv or defensive. No com plications are at present apparent. Belgium. RELIEF. Brussels, Nov. s.—The Belgian government has forwarded $20,000 to America for the relief of the Belgian settlers in Wisconsin who suffered by the forest fires. The government has also opened a subscription for voluntary contribu tions for the same object. Turkey. NO GUARANTEES FOR CATHOLICISM. Constantinople, Nov. s.—Franchi, ihe pa pal envoy, has taken his departure, having failed in his efforts to obtain any guarantees from the sultan in regard to the status of Cath olic subjects in Turkey.

C., Nov. 5. —The following statement was issued yesterday: Receipts of fractional currency for the week •853,800 Shipments 848,200 Notes shipped 1,402,600 The treasurer holds in trust as security for national bank circulation 369,393,850 And for deposits of public money 15,279,000 Receipts from internal revenue to-day.... 644,061 Total for the fiscal year to date 48,900,780 National bank circulation outstanding.. .324,722,827 Senator Sherman, the chairman, and one or two members of the finance committee, have ar rived here for their meeting on Tuesday next, to consider the questions submitted by the special senate resolution of April last regarding the reduction of taxation through a revision of the customs and excise laws. The committee will not do much next week, but remain in ses sion till the meeting of congress, and will prob ably be prepared to submit some result of their labors in December or January. It is doubtful, however, if anything very practical will come from this, as the house is quite sure, as hereto fore, to insist on its constitutional prerogative to institute all measures relating to revenue. The new ways and means committee will, of course, be quite sensitive upon the proposed re vision of the tariff. appointments. The president has appointed Geo. H. Boker of Pennsylvania minister resident at Constantino ple, vice McVeagh, resigned, and John Hart Haws consul at Hakodadi. postal. The post office department is still unable to make permanent contracts for carrying the mails over some of the postal routes in the southern states. Although twice advertised, no responsi ble bids have been made. Of those opened last week nearly all prove to be straw bids. Gen. Creswell will ask congress in his next annual re port, to legislatutein the matter, and will recom mend that a law be passed providing that offer ing “straw bids” shall be considered a misde meanor, and be punished as such. Gen. Cres well is of the opinion that this would have the effect to prevent any but legitimate bids being made. MARYLAND. Gen. Creswell left for his home in Maryland yesterday, and will not return until after the state flection, next Tuesday. He predicts that the republicans will make a gain in Maryland of ten thousand votes over the vote of the last election, and will gain several members of the legislature. NAVAL. All the officers of the United States steamer Richmond, which recently arrived at Philadel phia from the European fleet, have been de tached and placed on waiting orders, among them are Chief Engineer John N. Johnson and Midshipmen Herbert Winslow, John H. Nichols and Timothy D. Boiler of Massachusetts. Lieut. Commander N. Mayo Dyer has been or dered to the Boston navy yard. Lieut. Com mander James G. Green of Massachusetts has been detached from the Ashuelot, and placed on waiting orders. Lieut. Thomas M. Gardiner of Massachusetts has been detaehed from the Monocacy and granted sick leave. UTAH. The instructions of the president to the execu tive authorities in Utah were to the effect that there should be a firm yet judicious enforcement of the law, and no compromise with criminals. The latest reports from civil and military officials represent that all danger of collision has passed. HABEAS CORPUS. It is said in official circles that the president has no present intention of suspending the privi lege of the writ of habeas corpus in any southern state other than South Carolina, unless a con dition of things shall occur similar to that in the proclaimed counties. A PHILADELPHIA DELEGATION. A delegation from Philadelphia had an inter view with the president yesterday, urging the importance of congressisonal endorsement of the centennial celebration of American inde pendence. INTERNAL REUENUE. The receipts of internal revenue the present fiscal year, to Nov. 4th, were $48,900,781. The expenses have been reduced thirty per cent from last year. AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT. Mr. Myers, of the treasury department, who has investigated the whole subject of emigration from Europe, recommends that, upon the ar rival of all vessels carrying emigrants, an in spector speaking as many languages as possible board them, and ascertain the complaints of space occupied, the quantity and quality of food, means of ventilation and escape, duplicate reports to be made to the collector of the port and treasury department. He also urges a de cision of the question of jurisdiction of our gov ernment over the officers of foreign ships, that in case of necessity remedies may be devised in a new law. TEXAS. There appears to be some dissatisfaction among the Texas republicans concerning party management in that state. A delegation, com posed mainly of members of the state executive committee, is here, endeavoring to persuade the administration to bring about a change in the federal officers of the state. They place the re sponsibility for their recent defeat at the door of the principal treasury officers and post master, and think that if the changes they propose are made the state can be carried in 1872 by a large majority. SOUTH CAROLINA. South Carolina papers report that the excite ment in Spaitanburg is somewhat subsided. In York county over two hundred persons have confessed their connection with the kuklux or ganization, though they mainly allege they never participated in its operations. Some say thev were compelled to join, while others did it us a means of protection. THE LABOR REFORMERS. A national labor party convention will be held at Columbus, Ohio, Dec. sth. Indian News. Sharp Battle—Cochise Leads the Apachcw on the War Path, etc. San Francisco, Nov. 5.—A courier from Tucson, Arizona, to Los Angeles, reports that the Apaches who murdered Richard Barnes, near Camp Bowie, were overtaken at Horseshoe canon, by Capt. Russel and twenty soldiers, and found posted in a secure position. A sharp bat tle followed. A citizen guide was killed, and two soldiers wounded. Two horses were killed. The Indians could not be dislodged. Capt. Wil liams reports that the Indians were led in person by Cochise, with whom Vincent Collyer is said to have made peace. A quantity of stock stolen by the Apaches from the settlers near Tucson, since the trehty of peace, was found on the Apaches reservation, at Camp Grant, and recovered. Eight of the Camp Grant reservation Indians, who were in dicted by the United States grand jury for the murder of settlers, disappeared from the reser vation just before the officers reached there with warrants for their arrest.

A suspension of business on election day is a very unusual thing to happen in this com munity, and shows the depth of feeling for re form when it thus seeks to find expression in the personal attendance of merchants, profes sional men and clerks at the polls efforts to detect repeaters and other ruffians in their de signs on the purity of the ballot box. When those who have heretofore neglected this duty now take such deep interest in the contest, there is reason to believe that the election will be much more honest than many that have taken place of late years. One hundred and eight of the leading commercial firms of the city have signed a paper agreeing to close their places of business on Tuesday, and additional signatures to the agreement arc still being obtained. The stock, produce and gold exchanges have agreed to adjourn over. It is reported that a new and dangerous scheme for defrauding honest voters on Tuesday has been brought to light. The plan as given is this: When the ballot-boxes have been sealed, at the close of the polls, they are usually taken from the table or counter on which they have rested, and placed on the floor. Il is said that it is the purpose of a number of dishonest in spectors to have duplicate boxes in an inner room, exactly the same in appearance as the genuine boxes, and containing precisely the same number of votes, the political character of which is adjusted to suit the interests of ihe conspirators. The boxes are then to l>e adroilly changed and the ballots canvassed with all ap pearance of fairness and impartiality. Ii is claimed that this trick is to be. tried in a number of election districts, but this warning will be sufficient to prevent it if It was ever seriously entertained. It is understood that the Tammanv managers have hit upon the plan of “running” a German candidate in each district for the senate, except the sixth, where a German is already in the field, in hopes of dividing the German vote upon Sigel and securing a part of it for Shandley. So much confidence is felt in the success of this and other plans of the crafty Sweeney, that sporting men (who serve in election times as barometers to indicate the. probable result of the contest), are staking the o.lds of three to one on the success of Shandley over Sigel, the reform candidate. Three women, Victoria C. Woodhull, Tennes see Claflin and Mary A. Leland, have registered their names, and hope to be allowed to vote on Tuesday. Information having reached the department of parks, that one of the superintendents was drilling and marshalling park laborers in the interest of ThomasC. Fields, the Tammany can didate for the assembly in the Nineteenth dis trict, Judge Hilton personally visited the boule vard, and told the superintendent and foremen of gangs that there must be no interference with the men, and that all should be left to exercise their political choice without coercion. Yesterday afternoon a deputation of axemen called at the controller’s office and demanded their pay lor September. They were referral by Mr. Green to Mr. Storrs, who informed them that in justice to the men ot the other city de partments their claims could not now be enter tained until the pay rolls for August, still un paid, were disposed of. The Times says this year’s registration probably includes far less of th? repeating ele ment than 1870, and believes the vote will come closely up to the registry, which is the largest ever known, and that the entire increase is due to voters who count for reform. Charles O’Conor addressed the voters of the 19th ward last evening, in exposition of the ring frauds and denunciation of Tweed. The latter addressed his supporters in the 18th ward, ask ing, he said, only justice and fair play, which was denied him by his partisan foes, and claim ing that a re-election would be an endorsement of his course. The names of two ladies, Mrs. Frances Rose McKinley and Mrs. Annie Kemble Parker, were registered,yesterday, in the 19th ward. Samuel A. Lewis has withdrawn from the senatorial contest in the sth district in favor of Benedict, now sole opponent of Norton. John H. Anthony, grand master of Masons of this state, has declined the nomination forjudge of the superior court. The present Tammany aldermen and assistant aidermen are to be voted for on Tuesday, with out formal renomination. The Tammany ites of the 11th, 16th and 17th wards have repudiated Judge Ledwith. The order for the arrest of Ingersoll will be returned tc the court by the sheriff’, tomorrow, endorsed “not served.” Alexander Spaulding, candidate for the marine court bench, is accused of indebtedness to the national government to the amount of half a million, on the accounts of the collector of in ternal revenue. He denies the accusation, de claring emphatically that he don’t owe the gov ernment a dollar. Ample preparations have been made by the military to aid the police on Tuesday in case of outbreak. The Tamm any ites will leave no stone un turned to defeat their opponents. Instead of processions of the mammoth order, which here tofore have been one of the features of the Tam many campaigns, the leaders have appropriated the money which would have been spent in that direction, to paying rent for their constituents, wiping out bills at rum shops for them, ami subsidizing the ward politicians with cash. In some of the districts of the rough wards there is not much question but trouble will en sue between the adherents of the regular Tain many ites and those of the reformers, and many persons aware of the bitter feud now existing in some of those localities, predict bloixly affrays with a possible riot that may spread all over the city. Il is on this account, coupled with the ques tionable proceedings on the part of the city au thorities on the 12th of July, that Gov. Hoffman decided to remain here until the election is over. He has held interviews with Gen. Shaler, com mander of the first division of the militia in this city, and with several other well known military commanders, as well as with Samuel Tilden,’ Charles O'Conor, Win. M. Evarts ami members of the committee of seventy, at which interviews the probable status ot ass airs has been freely ami fully canvassed. The results of these interviews and complications have been the notifying of regimental commanders to have their armories well guarded, and to be ready to call their commands together at a moment’s no tice. The governor is determined that if a riot is inaugurated it shall be the last that shall ever disgrace the state, for no mercy wi 1 be shown to any violators of the law on an election day. The assertion that the police are to work only in the interests of the Tammany candidates on Tuesday is undoubtedly true to a larger extent than is generally credited, ami should they en deavor to carry out the tactics laid down, then a great deal of trouble will ensue from this source, which should prove to be a protection instead of an hindrance ami obstruction to our citizens in the exercise of their right of suffrage. It is probable, however, that on Monday, when the leaders of the ring ascertain the effective measures in readiness to thwart their designs that they will change their programme to such an extent that the election will pass off quietly. Scarcely in any ward is there such an excite ment over the coming struggle as in the first ward. First warders are not very much exer cised over the senatorial contest, and the claims of Tweed and O’Donovan Rossa are completely swamped in the struggle between Nick Muller and Healey for the assembly. The row which occurred the other night has added fuel to the fire and the supporters of each candidate are now at drawn daggers. On Healey's side are all the longshoremen amt laborers of the ward, while Muller has all the emigrant boarding house in terest at his back, with the German element. The rival factions swear vengeance against each other, and will probably have a bloody fight at the election. John V. Gridley, republican, has withdrawn from the assembly nomination, in favor of Col. Hawkins, reform candidate. Gen. Shaler has ordered the 7th, 12th, 22d and 71st militia on duty at their armories the whole of election day. Much excitement prevailed in Passaic village Friday. Mayor O’Neill, of Jersey City, it appears holds village improvement certificates io the amount of S4OOO or ssooo,and as he was unable to collect the money when due, he levied upon the furniture and sale of the village council room, which was sold at auction by Sheriff Townsend, of Paterson, for $229, to Henry McDonald, the republican candidate for the assembly. The sheriff, it is said, will proceed to sell the private property of the officers until the required amount is collected. The wholesale markets during the past week have been dull and lower. Flour has been in active at lower quotations, closing heavy. Wheat has also been dull and lower, the decline continuing up to the close. Corn has been fairly active at variable and lower rates. Pork has been in fair demand, at low rates. Cotton has been fairly active at a decline. The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the week ending Friday night were 96,708 bales against 98,989 last week, 82,538 the previous week, and 64,097 three weeks since; making the total receipts since Sept. 1, 1871, 459,111 bales, as against 542,745 for same period last season. The exports for the week was 35,768 bales, of which 80,130 were to Great Britain, 2762 to France and 2876 to the rest of the continent. The stock on hand was 268,101 bales, or 15,299 more than on the same day last year. There has been no new feature in the cotton market the past week; prices have fluctuated from day to day, improving early in the week and declin ing again toward the close, showing at the close, however, an improvement since the previous 9( I?’ grades, The influences mainly operating have been the variations in tone and price nt Liverpool ami the daily re ceipts at our ports. There is considerable timid ir among holders and operators, growing out of the fact that last year's crop was so much in ex cess ol the current estimates. Hence the receipts are watched with the greatest closeness, and the prevailing crop estimate is raised or lowered pretty much in accordance with the varying daily movement at ports, ami prices fluctuate accordingly. Spinners continue to take quite sparingly only to supply immediate wants, as they still have considerable stock on hand and are therefore, in a measure, independent of the market. Bernard Ricllv, bar-room keeper and politi cian, was fatally beaten yesterday; no ar rests. James S. Colgate was acquitted of the charge of selling counterfeit money, the evidence indi cating that the case was put up against hhn by the secret service agents. Charles Balthauf died last evening, in Brook lyn, from a severe beating by unknown par ties. It proves that Gustave Kus ter, supposed to be murdered at Riverdale, really committed sui cide. A hand car was smashed by a Hudson River railroad train, yesterday, near Spuyienduyvcl, and one man was severely injured; four others escaped. The Staten Island ferry boat Westfield has re received a new boiler. Over in Brooklyn the political squabble is al most as exciting as in this city. Mayor Kalb fleisch, who is running as an independent candi date, calls the regular democratic party, with whom he has been identified for some years, a ring of thieves, and calls on honest men to vote for him. He will undoubtedly carry all the German democracy and many of the rank and file of the democratic party with him, in which ease the republican candidate, ex-Mayor Booth, will stand a good chance for defeating the de mocracy, as he did once before, by from two to three thousand votes. Thompson, the boy switch-tender, who caused the accident on the Newark railroad, in July, has been sentenced to three months' imprison ment and SSOO fine. The driver of a wagon belonging to the New York and Boston express accidentally ran over an old man crossing Mercer street yesterday. Two policemen, without any provocation, pro ceeded to club the unoffending driver in a shock ing manner. The man volunteered to go to the station house peaceably, but this only produced more blows f rom the official brutes. The driver is in a dangerous condition. Terrible Disaster to Whalers. Caught in the Ice—Thirty-three Vcnmcln CruNhed or Abandoned The Story Told by the Sufferers, etc. San Francisco, Nov. 5.--Steamship Moses Taylor, arrived from Honolulu and Australia, reports terrible disaster to the Arctic whaling fleet caught in the ice. Thirty-three vessels were crushed or abandoned. The captains of whalers Arctic, Gay head, Minerva, Eliza Swift, Reindeer, Eugenia and Pacia, arrived at Honolulu, fur nished the following details: Vessels commenced arriving, says Captain Thadeus, on the first of May. The first of June, the ice opened and let the fleet up within sight of Cape Navarino. The fleet, working northwards, found some whales crossing the sea of Anadyr, and in Behring sea they were more plenty; but we experienced much trouble from ice, and when the fleet ar rived at Cape Behring and Flower bay, the whales had passed through into the Arctic ocean, whither the fleet followed, meeting fair success until about the first of September, when the ice floes and bergs to a great extent commenced drifting down; and, by the tenth, a number of vessels had been sunk and the bulk of the re mainder were ashore. On September 2, brig Comet sunk. On the 7th, the Roman was drifted bodily out to sea by two floes and crushed like an eggshell. The crew narrowly escaped. The Florida and Vic toria of Sail Francisco were also crushed. Sep tember 11, the captains of the fleet, bommed in between point Belcher and Wainwright inlet, held a meeting, and resolved to abandon the vessels, in order lo save the lives of the crews, which was done, and 1200 sailors took refuge on board the remainder of the fleet, which had been fortunate enough to escape outside before the iee closed in the vessels. The vessels abandoned are: The Concordia, Gayhead, George, John Wells, Massachusetts, J. 1). Thompson, Contest, G. Morgan, (’ham pion, Henry Tabor, E. Swift, O. Crocker, Navy, Reindeer* Fanny, George Howland, Pacia, Eu genia, Kabohi, and T. Dickenson. It is sup posed the whole number lost will reach thirty three. The vessels known to be safe, with oil secured, arc as follows: Arctic, with 480 bbls.; Progress, 250: Chance, 220 sperm and 280 whale; Daniel Webster, 250; Lngoda,72s; Europa, 880: Medos, 450 whale and 140 sperm. AH the aban doned vessels, it is believed, will lie a total loss, there being little chance of recovering even the cargoes in the spring Thecaptain of the Flori da arrived here by the Moses Taylor. The news created the greatest excitement at Honolulu and here. Nearly six hundred of the wrecked whalers were Kanakas, and will remain at Honolulu. Many inure arc left there; many of them are unprovided for. The loss by the destruction of the fleet is about a million and a half of dollars. The catch destroyed foots up 18,065 barrels whale oil, 905 sperm and 100,000 pounds of bone. Criminal Record. THE LOS ANGELES AFFRAY. San Francisco, Nov. s.—The Chinese com panies have made arrangements for instituting suits for damages against the city of Los An geles, for the murder of their countrymen and the robbery of their families by the rioters. A FINANCIAL OPERATOR. New York, Nov. 5. —The World states, as an alleged fact, that the American hank note com pany have printed bonds for rhe state of South Carolina, amounting to $20,046,000, which pass ed into the hands of Mr. Kempton, state finan cial agent; that all the members of the state government are here, and other gentlemen of wealth to whom the credit of the state is a vital question|arc here, watching their proceedings. It is said that Governor Scott admits that the bonds were printed, but denies that all were is sued, though he does not state the real amount of the issue. No part of the money yet raised has, it is alleged, been used to take up the other state bonds. Kempton, it is asserted, brings claims against the slate for services and commissions, to the amount of four millions, and the other officers have not dared to resist payment thereof, though much of it was proved to be for renewals cf credit, which were made time and again, and which are charged for as new loans. The com missions are said to have swallowed up more money than the original loans. It is asserted positively, however, that Kempton’s operations have been carried on, not in the capacity of the financial agent of the state, but on his own per sonal account, thus involving his own personal creditors. If this is true, the entire amount can be repudiated without discredit to the state. Again, it is charged that all the money the state has ever received from Kempton for lands is about twenty-seven per cent of the gross amount; the remainder was retained as commis sions. I’he expenses of the last legislature, some SBOO,OOO, are not yet paid. The World concludes by stating that its information is from a source entitling it to the highest credit. The persons giving it express the confident belief that a fraudulent issue, amounting to $20,046,- 000, in state bonds, has been negotiated and the money misapplied, and they were convinced that if it should prove that the state is involved to that amount, it is irrevocably insolvent. Later.— The following card will be published in the morning: To the Public: Many false representations and statements have been made and published against the credit of South Carolina. It is true that $20,040,000 in bonds were printed, of which $9,000,000 were never signed or issued; nor were they printed with the intention of an increase in the state debt, but are in possession of the state authorities; also $3,500,000 in sterling bonds, printed but not issued, and $2,500,000 registered s ock are now in the hands of the treasurer, l»e ---ing the balance of $20,040,00U issued. 6 The legislature, from time to time, passed several acts for the issue of tiouds, “to pay the indebt edness of the state;” subsequently it passed an act for the conversion of its securities. To pro vide for this, the above amount in bonds was printed, which has given rise to many ground less misrepresentations and gross fabrications. R. K. Scott governor of South Carolina; Miles G.

The territorial act against adultery was ap proved March 6, 1852. The revelation of polygamy is said to have been made Aug. 29, 1852.

Chicago Dispatches. AatonndiMg Revclntiom*--A Cnndidntc for Mayor in Trouble The GroMVruot Af fair, etc. Chicago, Nov. s.—Astounding revelations are made of the operations of Aiderman C. C. P. Holden in the use of the relief funds. As Holden is president of the city council, and can didate for mayor on the opposition ticket, addi tional interest is felt in the matter. Immediate ly after the fire a relief society was formed of which Holden was made treasurer. The compo sition of this society not being satisfactory to the committees from Cincinnati, Louisville, In dianapolis, St. Louis and other cities, Mayor Mason dissolved it and directed that everything should be turned over to the old relief society— an institution under control of citizens of in tegrity. and regularly incorporated. This was satisfactory to the committees from other cities, but was not to some of the aldermen, ami they refused to recognize the new arrangement. KThis unpleasantness was mentioned in these dispatches at the time, h now transpires that Holden, while acting as treasurer, secured at least $15,000 of the relief funds and considerable supplies, which he refused to give up when the requisition was made by the proper authorities. It is now alleged that this money is used by Holden to secure his election as mayor, and very damaging evidence is produced to substantiate this charge. Among other things, Holden causal to be sent to the regular committee a livery stable bill amounting to $2lO. Pavment has been refusal, and the committee gives no tice that no carriages have been needed in the work of relief. To what purpose the benevo lence of the country might have been put, may now be seen from this specimen. The public may rest assured that the work of relief is now in good hands, and this man will be held to a strict accountability. The publication here of a letter from Gover nor Palmer to Attorney General Bushnell re questing him to present the facts in regard to the killing of General Thomas W. Grosvenor to the grand jury of Cook county, has created a sensation. Very good authorities denv the right ol the governor to initiate such prweed ings unless the United states attorney should first retuse to present the matter to the grand jury. But on the other hand Governor Palmer is recognized as a lawyer of ability, and not likely to make a mistake. It is chargal by the friendsof General Sheridan that Gov. Palmer is unfriendly to him, and has taken this opportu nity to do him injury. At any rale, Gen. Sheri dan seems the least disturbed about the matter of anybody. Governor Palmer, in his letter, reviews the evidence before the coroner’s jury, wherein it was shown that Mayor Mason re quested Lieutenant General Sheridan to pre serve order in the city; that the latter author ized Col. F. T. Sherman to raise a regiuient of militia; that several companies were so organ ized and acted under the orders issued by Col. Sherman; and that the young man Treat was acting under such orders when he shot (jcneral Grosvenor, and is guiltless of any legal offence. Governor Palmer says in conclusion: “No one will pretend that the power to raise, organize and employ troops, or to call (he organ ized militia of the states in service appertains to the office of lieutenant-general of the United States; nor will it be easy to find defenders fur the opinion, if it should be expressed, that the mayor of a city can cither exercise or impart such a power to another; and I will not with .you discuss the dangerous and deceptive theory of necessity or emergency that has been so often insisted upon, to justify acts of lawless usurpa tion. It is answer enough that the constitution of the state has not entrusted to mayors of ci ties, or to military officers, the delicate duty of de termining when its forces may be called into ser vice or its laws be .suspended. If these conclu sions are correct I think you will perceive that it is now the duty of the governor and attorney general and all other officers to see that the laws areenforced against all parties concerned in these illegal and dangerous nets. It is not necessary in determining upon the line of duty to be adopted, to inquire whether the mayor of Chicago, Lieut. Gen. Sheridan and Frank T. Sherman and his associates and supposed subordinates who were the agents by which the death of Thomas W. Grosvenor was produced, in assuming powers they did not possess, and which cannut he conferral upon them, were influencal by proper or improper motives or purposes. They assumed to sus pend the operation of the constitution and laws of the state, and substitute in their stead law and military force to be definal and applied by themselves. They, by their lawless acts, ai tacked and insulted the dignity and authority of the state, and have by their dangerous exam ple weakened the public confidence in the con stitution and laws; and in their attempts to en force usurped and lawless authority they have sacrificed the life >f a peaceable citizen. Ani mated by the confidence I have thus expressed, and confident in the belief that the state, of Il linois, acting through the proper departments of its government, is capable of protecting its own people and of enforcing the dignity and au thority of its own laws, 1 have to request that you in conjunction of the state’s attorney of the seventh circuit will bring all the facts before the grand jury of Cook county, in order that all persons concerned in the unlawful killing of Thomas W. Grosvenor may be speedily brought to trial. I have the honor to be, with great respect,* Jno. M. Palmer.” Political. NEW YORK—THE BUFFALO GERMANS. Buffalo, Nov. s.—l’he German Telegraph has substituted the name of W.G. Fargo, democrat, lor L. L. Lewis, republican, as a candidate for state senator.

Jackson, Miss., Nov. s.—The state election for members of the legislature and county officers occurs next Tuesday. Great excitement pre vails in both political parties. It is thought that the contest will be very close and that the majority for either party in the legislature will be small. An immense democratic meeting, at Meridian, last night, was addressed by Gen. Frank Blair. GEORGIA—MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING GOV- ERNOR. Atlanta, Nov. 5. —Acting Governor Conley’s message was read yesterday. He said nothing about the elections. He hopes there will be no ground for further reconstruction, promises re trenchment, and says that he cannot yet tell of the disposition of the state bonds, but urges an investigation of the matter. He counsels the execution of the laws and promises to use the pardoning power sparingly. He advocates free education, but opposes mixed schools, and de sires that the obligations of the state shall be faithfully met. MIN N ESI >T A —EXCITE M ENT.

He had enough men, but not sufficient arms and artillery, to attack. A state of siege was maintained in Saltillo by Cerillo, the gov ernment commander, and people are required to retire to their houses early. Martinez, on the other side of Saltillo, has cut off communication with the interior. Mon terey papers publish the captured correspond ence of Cerillo, asking additional artillery. It is reported that Corona is on the way to take command of the government forces. Isadra Trevino, governor elect of Coahuila, who joined the revolutionary movement of Gen.

Fatal Accidents. EXPLOSION. Cincinnati, Nov. 5.—A special dispatch from Portsmouth says a terrible explosion took place yesterday morning at the railroad depot. The mail train going east stood at the depot, and while the fireman was taking coal the engine boiler exploded. George Vaulkner, who was engaged m shoveling coke from the car, was blown fifty feet in the air, and fell a mangled corpse, two hundred yards distant. Adam Schilling, fireman, was instantly killed, the top of his head having been blown off. Henry Burt, fireman, and Adam Wamslcr, were injured. Fragments of the boiler weighing from thirty to fifty pounds were blown several squares and fell through the roofs of houses on Second street; some passed over the wharf boat and dropped in the river. The front of the toiler was blown forward and buried in the rear end of the ex press car. The boiler had just been patched up, was twenty years old, and considered in bad condition. The depot was badly wracked. But few persons hud arrived at the depot before the explosion, or the loss of life would have been much greater. BURIED ALIVE.
