THE PROGRESS OF REFORM.
The jury in the case of I. O. Davis and
others against Flak snd Gould for dama
ges sustained from the repudiating Erie
ring on "Black Friday," on their gold
contract, rendered a verdict for the plain
tiffs to the full amount of tbe claim. This
verdict is of immense Importance, sinoe,
it sustained, it determines the prlnmple
of evidence upon such contracts, and the
lujeosninii of damage, upon a failure to
fulfill them; and there axe claima for some
millions of dollars against the earns con
spirators, growing out of similar trans
actions, which must be decided upon the
same grounds. It is, therefore, probable
that the ring which contrived the misera
ble gold "corner" of that day, and brought
dlgrace upon tbe city, State and nation
by their conduct, will now be compelled
to restore a large part of tbe money they
then obtained from the business public
by fraud
But mora important, even, than the ex
posure snd punishment of this gambling
scheme in Wall street, is tbe parity of the
general administration of justice in the
city and there is strong ground for be
lieving that the same men who organized
the "gold ring" have also attempted to
tamper with our courts of Justice This
has. Indeed, been suspected for a long
time, and some of our judges have been
sooased of partiality for tbe Erie con
eptratore, and even of yielding to corrupt
influences tm their behalf. But now, for
the first time, tbe charge that the Erie
ring hss made on attack upon the purity
of oar courts is made upon strong and di
rect evidence, and with the support of re
sponsible names.
The foreman of the jury which sat upon
th) osse in question, reported to tbe court,
after they had retired for an honr.that the

During the past year a little boy about
five years old entered tbe Phelps Indus
trial school. No. 235 Beat Fifth street. Ho
was a beautiful looking child, with large
gray eyes, brown hair, rosy cheeks, and
very full, regular features He attracted
unusual attention. Visitors as well ss the
teachers admired him, and even the very
roughest of hie playmates were kind to
him. The teacher taught him a piece to
recite, which caused great laughter on
account of the bright, active and prompt
manner he haa in delivering it. A gen
tieman visited the school, when the lad
called upon to recite his piece. After
he had finished, the gentleman p aced his
hand upon his sbou der snd said: Well
dons, my boy; here is Ave cants tor you.'
The teacher noticed an unusual ex ores
sion of joy in the child's face, but duty
calling her atention in various
directions, it soon passed from her
mind for s while. The boy was
regular in his attendance at school, but
soon came a change In the child dny by
day he grew paler and paler, and his step
lees elastic ana nouy an t w hen he was
at-ked if he was sick, his answer was ai
ways the same: "No, not sick, but tired.'
He wai noticed doily to take his bread
home he lived with his grandmother); no
questions were asked why be did so.
Many very pale snd sickly children are in
those sdhoole. Thus day after day and
week after week pa sed, until one day be
came in looking ao turn ana pile that the
teacher asked him to go home snd rest
that he might feel better to morrow.
Tears came in his eyes, and he said: "I
want to atay in school." The teacher, not
knowing then that he was starving for
his bread, allowed him to remain. At
noon his grandmother came to him, say
ing thst he hod not eaten a morsel of food
that day, (not stating that he had none In
the house) He took his bread and left. He
waa soon attacked with hemorrh age of the
lungs, and, in his weakened slate, could not
throw it t S He grew worse that night,
and In a half-dreaming state would call
out, "Grandma! oh, grandma! what will
you do for bread when I die?" During
his illness the teachers called, and learned
from bis grandmother that daily had the
child divided his bread with hcr.and many
a day this was all tbey hod to eat. While
tbe tears were flowing profusely, she said
I shall never forget tne day that the gen
tleman gave him live cents for reciting his
piece. He came in so delighted (with his
usual allowance of bread; and said, "Lok
here, grscdma; here is so much bread and
here is Ave cents that a gentleman gave
me for speaking my piece. Now we have
all the bread we want to-day He then
went out and bought some rolls with bis
money. When be was near his end, speak
ing sloud. he clasped his little bands and
whispered tbe Liord s prayer, though to
him the "daily bread" had not come, and
departed whither no hanger or pain shall
come He waa buried by the ladies of tbe
school.
Tbe Scuikert Claim Commission.
The commissioners of Southern claims
expect to present their report to Congress
about the 15th of December, or time
enough before the Christmas adjournment
to get it printea ior tne nonse commiss on
on claims. Their decision on the six hun
dred claims, more or lee b, thst they expect
to submit for congressional approval, are
briefly stated, with the ground of their
conclusions iu each case. Claims to about
a million dollars and a half ore embraced
in this first list, but the aggregate allow
ances will very little exceed half a mil
lion dollars, and may even roil oeiow that
sum. This reducticn has not Deen enacted
in a surely arbitrary manner, but in part
bv the natural results of investigation into
the loyclty ot the claimants to the United
States through the war and the evidence
adduced to sustain a reasonable degree ot
military necessity for taking private
property and its probable or actual
use by the army, as an equivalent
for supplies that the government
would otherwise have to furnish in the
more customary manner. The greater
portion of the allowances made are for the
two items of fuel snd forage. The barns
and sheds, and often the frame dwellings,
as well as the timber lands and the count
less miles of fencing In the theater of war,
,or four years afforded the Union troops
their means of shelter, warmth and culi
nary comfort; and the face ot nature was
translormcd by the ravages of the g'gantic
army worm upon the wooded treasures of
the South. The same liberal use was made
of tbe growing and harvested crops of
grain snd hay lor the army horses, mules
and cattle. Another considerable reduc
tion is attained by tbe difference between
the average scale of prices sdopted by tbe
commission and those generally charged
by the claimants. Taking tbe coming re
Dort of tbe commissioners ss s feir exhibit
of those to follow in successive sessions cf
congress, It is thought tbst a fair settle
ment can be made with the loyal people of
tbe South for sncb of tbelr property as re
ally went into beneficial poLlfc use, at a
cost not exceeding ten or fifteen millions
of dollars, instead of a hundred millions,
as many profess to believe.
A MINISTERIAL GAME OF EU HRE
Near a late New Jersey camp-meeting,
two clergymen, a Baptist snd a Metho
dist, were walking, when they saw a little
girl sitting on s stone, who wss weeping
bitterly. "What is the matter, my little
girit" asked the Baptist, kindly. "My
my fa', her was k killed on the railroad a
few daya ago, and bos Just been buried,
sir; and my mother is sick abed and can't
work, and we haven't nothing to sat, and
don't know what to do," sobbed the little
girl. "A truly lamentable case; I do, in
deed, pity you," said the Baptist, frigid
ly, ss if be were pitying some ioe cream
he could not eat. "How much do you
pity her, Brother O. T I pity her five dol
lars," yelled the Methodist, as he threw a
V into tbe girl's lap. "I double your pile,
Brother P," the Bspilst brother
said, as he slowly placed an X over tbe V.
"I go you one better," tbe Methodist
bawled, ss he pnt a ten on tbe other
money. "I oove your stake, brother P,"
and the Baptist clergyman's expression
showed be wss getting excited ss a twenty
from his parse was pus on the rapidly-increasing
pile. "I'll top the a pons
with a fifty," bowled Brother P., as he
drew out his last note and placed the sum
with the others, glaring savagely at bis
companion. "Here's a hundred dollar
note, little girl," said tbe Baptist quite
blandly, now that be hod got ahead of nia
Methodist brother-ln-the-Lord "You
may rake In the spoils, for you've
'cleaned out' and 'euchred' both a y friend
and myself, snd left us both 'dead broke.'
Then tbey walked off bumming a hymn.
Now, what we would like to know Is,
what did those clergymen do before they
were converted? Miuouri Republican.

pect to devise auy means by whioh all
shall be content and happy. Modern civ
ilizstlon shrinks back at the terrible evil
whioh she can neither fathom nor cure,
ust as sho does in Europe. What is our
clause T It is this: There are 350.000.iXiO of
human beings in what yon oail ohriaten-
om. and lOil.tloO.ooo oi tnem don't nave

society. But 200 000,000 of men that are
gathered under Christendom ann't have
enough to eat; 100,000 men in I city of
New York live in dwellings tha, a gentle
man would not let his horse stay in a day.
f read the floors vigorously, snd the sewer
water dashes in your face Open the dead
window, and the actual stench makes you
taint. A hundred thousand men and wo
men and children in the city of New York
pass their lives there, in ohristian New
York. In France there area milUsn of
men who don't eat meat once a year.
Mentally, morally, or physically, one-half
of Christendom starve.
TUB BBMBPILKSS SOCIAL KVIL,
Wo have prostitution, that fearful social
evil for whioh no man has yet proved
wise enough to devise a remedy, Tbe
great root oi this evil is the poverty of
one class ana tne wesitn oi snotner. uive
woman her fair chance with man, and
ninety-nine out of one hundred will dis
dain to buy diamonds and velvets by the
wages of shamo. The trouDie ail comes
from the poverty of tbe vio'.im.
intemperance nss its oniei root in the
same fact. Grog-shops in our cities have
the power to make the municipal govern
ments; tney suosist on tne poverty or ttie
vioiims of the masses. What shall Ave
million men do who wake to toil, and go
to sleep before tbey can get to bed, but
have recourse to physical stimulants to
1 care and deepen tbe pain of excessive
toil ill-repaid?
POVERTY AND WHISKY.
Three-fourths of our crime comes from
the pauper classes, and three-fourths of
our prisoners are of infirm health, sons of
men starved in body and soul. Feed the
aborlng population netter, teach tnem
better, you empty the prisons. What will
you do to overcome these gigantic evils?
this is our civilization, the result of the
moral forcds of ohriiitondom and ot philo
sophy. s wheat goes up so orime in
creases, liake tbe century through and
you find that tbe price of a barrel of flour
will correspond with tiis number in your
tils and poor-noutes. The minority of
our populations stand on the dangerous
edge of too great necessity. Want drives
them Into crime. Hss the learning of
Greece snd Rame, the common sense of
the Acglo-Ssxon no better result of its
researches into the rights snd the needs
ol the people If our present stste of so
ciety is the fruit of the mission of the Be-
DISAPPEARANCE OF A LAKE.
A remarkable geographical pheno
menon lias lately Deen presented in
the district of Telchef, in Lithuania.
Nemt the little tows of Wroinin. on
the road from Telchef to Koyno, was
a lake eitrht vorsts in length and five
in breath, noted for ita abundance of
fish, tbe fishery ot wnicn waa worm
1500 roubles a year. A few weeks
since, during a perfect calm, the
waters of this lake rose and were agi
fated as if by a violent tempest, while
a strong sulphurous smell rising from
tnem pervaaea tne locality, auei
two or three days this ebullition
ceased, and the surface of the lake was
covered with dead nan, some of wnicn
were so large as to weign zuuo ids
each. Fearing their decomposition
would breed pestilence, the inhabit
auta ol the Deiehbortnz village were
called upon to collect them, and they
were burled witn a gooaiy covering
of lime. Since then the lake began to
sink, while the sulphurous odor in
creased daily, and the lake at tbe
latest accounts had become nearly
dry. It is supposed that the lime
stone and chalk bottom of the lake
had eiven wav. and the waters have
sunk into a subterranean canal.
The Holly Springs Independent South,
like nearly all papers representing a peo
ple throttled and robbed by local Radical
governments, would have the people as
semble by their repi eoentatives in con
vention and appeal to the masses, on ac
count ot a common interest to lsy down
all party names, all old party prejudices,
and go vigorously to work to resecure
that liberty at the ballot-box which ia
passing away, and whoso last remnant is
being menaced. Wo will oppose sny man
or set of men who are not willing to lsy
their preludices on tbe altar or the peo
ple's rights and the country's redemption
from tbe venal banda of the robber. We
will hall any man aa our friend who
throws off any yoke, repudiates sny
name that stands in the way of turning
out the corrupt, and placing In power tbe
honest, just and enlightened.
An Indiana editor gives this to the
world aa an argument that tbe women ol
bis State are woll prepared for the duties
of s voting tizen "A Harrison county
girl reoent.y knocked her mother down
with a rolling-pin, snd in return was
choked by her fsther until her tonguo
hung out of her mouth. In a short time
mother and daughter recovered, and
pitched into the old gentlemen with roll
ng pin and tame forks, nearly ruining
his arm .with the latter. The daughter
then threw all of tbe dishes ont of the
window."

THE TELEGRAPH.
The Louisville Ledger says: "The two
Democratic and nve loyal papers t hat con
stitute the New York Associated Press
monopoly cry oat with one voice against
the free trade in news, whioh would
spring up under a government telegraph
system. As bound by contract snd by
self-interest, they rally to the rescue of
their parent monopoly the Western
Union telegraph company. Not one of
these papers, if our memory is correct,
was admitted to the assooiation, and but
one among them all is consistent. The
Tribune alone stioke to the unadulterated
doctrine of leaving all saoh services to
enterprise, snd continues to hint that the
government postofdoe monopoly is a
gross piece of injustice. Truly, every
consideration ol principle and expediency
unites the telegraph snd postal service of
the country, snd compels them both to
stand or fsll by the same iogio, so for as s
monopoly of either by government is con
cerned. Is there any reason why govern
ment should reserve to itself the exclu
sive right to transmit news and messages
by water or mail-ooach, and yet not re
serve the exclusive right to transport the
same by railway oars 7 Ir there is not,
then there is no reason why it should
monopolise their conveyance by all these
modes, and not monopolies their trans
mission by electric wires. The latter
would oertsiniy be free from one great
grievance tbe straw-bids, and the plun
der plucked from the government by the'
rings of mail contractors.
A gentleman traveling homeward
from Atlanta met an old colored man,
on whose hat was entwined the crape
of grief. The gentleman said: "You
have lost some friend, I see." "Yes,
maasa." "Was it a near or distant
relative?" "Well, pretty distant
boat twenty-four mile."
