The Bazaar
Of St. Patrick's Church opened with
a large attendance last night, and the
arrangements are of a character to
merit a success. An extended notice,
such as it deserves, will have to be
omitted in this issue, owing to press of
other matter.
Crowded Out.
Some o f the ordinances and resolu-
tions introduced at the Council meet-
ing last night, as well as other details
of local occurrences, were unavoidably
crowded out of this issue, but will be
given to the readers of the News in
succeeding issues.
The Caucus.
At the caucus of the Board of Alder-
men held yesterday at 5 p. m. at Alder-
man Zeigler's office, the discussions
were on the one-fourth tax proposition
and were ended without action, only to
be resumed at the regular meeting of
the board last night.
It una way.
About 8 o'clock Sunday evening, Dr.
Large's horse ran away with his buggy
and was found on the beach about
midnight, by Daniel MoNulty, driver of
hack No. 7, at the foot of Twesty-sev-
enth street. The buggy was considera-
bly broken, and was partly in the water.
The horse was held to its fragments by
a single strap. AlcNulty took the horse
to his stable, and then returned for
what was left of the buggy.
Cotton Exchange Annual Election.
The annual election of officers and
directors by the members of the Cotton
Exchange took place yesterday. The
result was as follows; "President, D. C.
Stone; "V ice President, G. Ranger;
Treasurer, George Sealy; Directors,
C. E. Richards, John Focke, J. H.
Bright, J. C. Hodges, Jr., J. D. Skin-
ner, P. H. Erhard and J. H. Metcalf.
The two last are the only new names,
the latter of which was elected to fill a
vacancy by resignation.
A Crying Nuisance.
Only a dead horse, two dead hogs,
four dead chickens, one dead dog, one
dead cat, and two dumpings of night
carts, to sweeten the atmosphere around
the City Hospital at East End. This
was the result of a casual observation
with ey es and nose last Sunday. The
supposition is that the census is not
hai£ taken, and the Board of Health
might nwell the inventory to something
like the dimensions of a report from
the United Spates Bureau of Statistics.
Speaker Randall Complimented.
The following forms the heading of
a paper left at the Cotton Exchange
yesterday to be signed.
Hon. 8. J. Randall, Philadelphia:

(Signatures.)
Entertainments To-Day.
The ladies of the Baptist Church are
prepared, for a vast run of patronage at
Turner Hall to night, when they pro-
pose to offer a substantial, novel enter-
tainment, and it should be borne in
mind that the cause is a good one—the
assistance of the church building fund.
The object is to build a church that will
be an ornament to the city.
The battalion picnic is booked for to-
day, and all who want to know what
the military propose to do should not
slight what the " boys " have to say in
their programme, which they give a la
mode in this issue. The trains will run
hourly each way.

EASTER CELEBRATION.
The Children's Festivals at the
Episcopal Churehea.
Services and Papal Benediction at
. the Cathedral.
Grace Episcopal Church had its first Eas-
ter Sunday School celebration last Sunday, in
the presence of.a very large audience. Many
Brsons were unable to find standing room.
e chancel was profusely decorated with
flowtrs in bouquets, wreaths, crosses, and
other tastoful snapes. Around the pulpit
were fresh blooming flowers in pots; the altar,
pulpit and walls of the chancel were embel-
lished with hanging baskets, and over the
front was suspended a cluster of evergreen
that added much to the general effect.
The procession was formed in front of the
church, and marched in and around through
the aisles, and after the processional hymn,
"Onward, Christian Soldiers," the classes
were called up to the chancel, one by one,
and deposited their offerings with the rector,
Rev. J. Ward. Every class made an offering
of money and flowers.
An interesting address, giving an insight
into the idea of Easter, was made by Colonel
Q. P. Finlay, superintendent of the Sunday
School.
The teachers taking part with their classes
in the festival were Mrs. A. N. Stevens, Miss
Emma Keller, Miss Virginia Stonsfield, Miss
Ida VanLiew, Miss Rebecca Harris, Miss Nel-
lie Owen, Sirs. Hawn, Mrs. G. P. Finlay, Mrs.
Henry West,Miss Annie Williams,Miss Corinne
Hirshberger, Mrs. W. Bondjes, Miss Neily
Terry.
The classes marched under banners on
which were noted the following inscriptions:
Christ a Child; Christ our Saviour; Christ
the Resurrection; Christ the Lamb of God;
Christ the Life; Christ the Truth; Christ the
Good Shepherd; Christ our Light; Christ the
Bread of Life; Christ the Rock of Ages;
Christ the Vine; Christ our King. '"The
Name Above Every Name," was the inscrip-
tion on the large and beautiful banner at the
head of the procession. The exercises were
interspersed with appropriate songs.
at trinity church.
The regular Easter celebration of Trinity
Church Sunday school took place Sunday, at
4 p m., at the church, in the presence of an
audience that filled every Dart of the church,
many being content wfth standing in the
aisles. The procession, under the direction
of the rector, Rev. 8. M. Bird, and Major J.
P. Harrison, superintendent of the school,
was formed at the rectory on Avenue H, and
marched with flying banners along Avenue H
to Tremont street, thence to Winnie street,
and thence to the church, the large crowd
that had collected giving way to allow the
host of "Christian soldiers"' to pass. The
column was headed by the rector, the super-
intendent, Mr. Guion, the leader and teacher
of singing, and Mr. Parr, bearing the school
banner that has served for several years on
these occasions, and having inscribed on it
"Onward, Christian soldiers." While the
procession was moving through the aisles of
the church opportunity was taken to note the
floral decorations ef the chancel and altar.
Over the stained windows back of the altar
appeared the following words, secured against
the wall and wrought in tasteful colors:
"The Lord is risen indeed."
An arch of evergreen over the altar; flow-
ers of every hue, the white rose predomina-
ting, arranged upon the altar; the lavish em-
bellishments in evergreen and white roses on
the font, besides floral decorations, presented
a beauiiful illustration of the association of
the ideas of resurrection and reviving nature,
but all this was on y, at last, a foretaste of the
sight which was offered when the school made
their floral contributions.
After the " Homeward March" by the
organ, while the procession was moving in
the church, the song " Brightly Gleams Our
Banner" was sung. Confession and the
Lord's Prayer followed, and then the song.
"Christ is Risen." The apostles' creed and
collects were repeated, ana was followed by
the Easter carol, "Sing, Oh! Sing, Ye Chil-
dren."
The classes then passed before the Rector,
who stood just within the railing, and made
their floral and money contributions, each
class repeating prayers and collects appro-
priate to its place in the procession, which
carried out the idea of the Christian year
with its clustering truths.
Then followed the East End Mission School,
marching under banners with the following
inscriptions: School banner; "The United
Workers; East End Mission;" smaller ban-
ners, Workers. Lambs. Hope, Heroes, Charity,
Branches, Faith, Daisies. Wrhile the classes
passed in review and made their offerings,
the following little " basket girls," with
pretty made baskets of flowers and greens,
moved along the aisles and gathered contri-
butions from the congregation, Lizzie Haw-
kins, Ella Richards, Ella Hughes, Florence
Seeligson, Bettie Willis and Belle Eaton. After
the offerings had been made and the classes
resumed their seats on each side of the main
aisle reserved for them, an Easter legend was
completed and displayed near the altar and
within the railing by twelve little girls, each
holding a staff, from which was suspended a
metallic letter beautifully decorated with
flowers and evergreen—the letters so arranged
as to form the words:
"Our Risen Lord."
The little girls who participated in this fea-
ture were: Libby Grinnan, Corinne Willie,
Nannie Belo, Lucy Campbell, Jennie Scrim-
mageur, Anita Folke, Louisa Fowler, Annie
Kent, Mary Walshe, Jennie Sealy, Sallie Shea-
rer, Bessie Haden.
Rev. Mr. Bird then announced the prizes
and the roll of honor, which was evidently a
severe strain, owing to the hoarseness of his
voice, this being the reason, as was afterward
learned, of his omission of his usual address
and other remarks in the way of explana
tions.
The Rector's prize—a gold cross engraved,
" Easter, 1877," was won by Beatrice Angeli.
The " Spencer prize," given by Major F. M.
Soencer as a mark of his interest in the
school was won bv Euphemia Allerdyce. The
" Singing Prize," a class prize—handsome,
solid silver Maltese cross, engraved, k,Sing.
Ye, Praises with Understanding," donated by
the singing master, Mr. Guion, won by the
" Class of the Holy Trinity."
After the song, " As we close our Easter-
tide," and the following by choir, school and
congregation: "Abide with me; fast falls
the eventide." Old Hundred was sung and.
the benediction was pronounced.
The most notable features of the festival
were the decorations of the altar and the
singing. The former, when all the flowers
and banners were deposited around it, pre-
sented a picture as enchanting as a vision of
Valhalla. The singing was conducted by Mr.
Guion, who has been unremitting in hisjexer-
tions with the school during the few weeks
preceding Easter.
8unday at the cathedrae.
At the Cathedra], Sunday, a grand pontific: 1
high mass was celebrated at 10 o'clock by Rt.
Rev. C. M, Dubuis, Bishop of the Diccese of
Galveston. He was assisted by Rev. Father
Guyot, as deacon, and Rev. Father Parmen-
tier as subdeacon, while Rev. Father Chaland
ac'ed as master of ceremonies. Very Rev.
Father Chambodut, Vicar General of the Dio-
cese. preached the Easter sermon. Lambil-
liote's grand mass was sung by the choir, led
by Prof. Ludwick and accompanied by the or-
gan, seven violins, with Prof. Lindenberg as
first musician, trombone, bass, counter bass,
viola, piccolo, flute and two cornets
In the evening the Right Rev. Bishop con-
cluded the vesper services with confirmation
of those omitted from the last class which re
ceived this sacrament at his hands.

Base Ball.
The Pastimes were worsted at the
base pall park Sunday evening by the
Amateurs. The game was one of the
best played here for some time. The
Amateurs have a very strong nine, in
fact it was apparent to all observers
they are a little too strong for the Pas-
times. Halliard, who played short for
the former club, was immense, both
fielding and batting; also T. Coinpton,
of the same side.

Mr. Hurt asked when the clerk qualified.
Answer was made that he qualified on March
26, and that he took the oath on the 23d of
March.
The Mayor said that he consulted the City
Attorney, who thought the qualifications were
regular.
Mr. Mitchell said that he would rather the
matter lay over until a City Attorney can be
elected. At present he thought the city had
no officer of that denomination.
The Mayor stated that Mr. Wren was noti-
fied on Tuesday and qualified on the Monday
following. He did not think that the filing a
bond was necessary to a qualification so long
as he had taken the oath. If there was any
doubt he thought it could be removed by a
resolution. The issue raised was that Mr.
Wren did not qualify within five days, as pro-
vided by the charter.
Mr. Mitchell moved that the bond of the
clerk be referred to Finance Committee.
Mr. Hurt said the bond was all right.
Mr. Mitchell moved that all the bonds be ap-
proved. Carried.

By Alderman Mitchell—A resolution vaca
ting the election of City Attorney and Eeputy
Chief of Police. He said that there was no
law authorizing a City Attorney or a Deputy
Chief of Police. He called the attention of
the Council to the fact that there were no
such offices named in the charter or the or-
dinances of the city, as Lity Attorney or
Deputy Chief of Police. He referred to the
occasions when Mr. C. B. Sabin and Mr.
McCormick had these offices created, but
said that the new charter and ordinances in
force were silent on these subjects. He said
that he was backed by the opinion of able
lawyers in what he had stated.
Alderman Hurt said that the wording of
the charter justified Alderman Mitchell in ^11
that he had said.
Alderman Hickey moved the adoption of
the resolution.
Alderman Richards moved to refer t» some
attorney for advice as an amendment.
Alderman Mitchell thought the motion
would demand an appropriation, and said he
did not want any opinion that could be gotten
for nothing. He wanted to see the pay of the
attorney in proportion to the value of his ser-
vices.
The Mayor read from the charter and said
that it said nothing about a city attorney, but
that previous governments had always had an
attorney. He said that the election of Major
Hume was the work|of the Council, not his
own. He referred to the acts of the last
Council creating, the office of overseer of
streets, and he could not see why this board
should ignore all the former regulations by
which the city was governed.
Alderman Mitchell said that his Honor was
disposed to shift the responsibilities of Major
Hume's election upon the Council. He would
not take any to himself. He said his Honor
was present in caucus, and used his influence
and the lash to secure Major Hume's election.
The Mayor said Alderman Mitchell was out
of order, and he thought his remarks an in
suit to the Council.
Alderman Richards moved that the resolu
tlon be deferred until next meeting. Carried.
By Alderman Mitchell—A resolution author
izing Printing Committee to advertise for
bids. Adopted.
By Alderman Skinner—An ordinance creat-
ing the office of fire warden and defining his
duties. Laid over.
By Alderman Hurt—A resolution appoint-
ing a Purchasing Committee. Carried.
By Alderman Hurt—A resolution prohibit-
ing employment of any one who has not lived
six months in the city.
Alderman Mitchell thought twelve months
should be inserted. He had heard that some
of the new officers were importing men to fill
places under them.
Alderman Hurt thought the qualifications
of an eleetor were defined in the charter.
Resolution was adopted. Messrs. Hurt,
Campbell and Hickey appointed.
By Alderman Richards—An ordinance ere
ating the offlce of city sealer. Laid over.
By Alderman Campbell—An ordinance to
organize the City Hospital and the Depart-
ment of Health. Laid over.
By Alderman Campbell—An ordinance to
amend sections 3 and 8 of article 1, chapte
24. Laid over.
By Alderman Campbell—An ordinance re
gulating quarantine. Laid over.
By Alderman Skinner—The police roll.
Alderman Hurt asked the number of the
list; answered by the clerk.
Alderman Mitchell referred to the fact that
a resolution touching the Fire Warden had
been postponed at the present meeting. He
moved that that name be stricken out.
Aldermau RuDge asked about the salaries
provided by the report.
Alderman Mitchell said that was fixed by
the old board.
Alderman Runge wanted to know if the
Council could not control the police.
Alderman Mitchell called for his motion.
Alderman Runge wanted to know if the po-
lice force could not be reduced. He said
thera was no money to pay so many men, and
economy must be practiced.
Question on Alderman Mitchell's motion
called fer and carried.
On the report of the Police Committee, Al-
derman Mitchell moved to recommit it. when
Alderman Runge could have his consultation
with the proper persons. Carried.
By Alderman Ricker—The retjnue o.-di
nance was introduced.
Alderman Hurt thought that the law taxing
fire insurance companies would not lie. as
tuch com/anies were protected by a special
la'v.

necessary to pass an ordinance.
rman Hickey moved a recess of five
minutes. Carried.
Council called to order. '
Alderman H'ckey said that the debt state
ment showed that were over $200,000 due the
city. He thought that all the means in the
power of the Council should be exhausted to
collect this amount before an Increased levy
should be made. He thought that there was
no necessity for an increase, and the only way
such necessity could be made apparent was to
fail to make the collection. He thought that
two-thirds of-the citizens were paying the
taxes of the city. He would ask at the next
meeting that the Collector be instructed to
furnish the reasons to the Council why the
taxes were not collected.
Mr. Runge said that he had advocated the
levy of the additional tax because he had as-
certained that the estimated income was $1000
per month less than the appropriations.
Alderman Moore moved a reconsideration,
Alderman Mitchell called attention to the
fact that Alderman Moore had voted with the
minority.
Alderman Zeigler then moved a reconsider-
ation. Carried.
Alderman Hurt asked if any of the alder-
men held bonds of the city, and if so said
that such aldermen could not vote on the or-
dinance.
Alderman M'tchell said the question refer-
red to Alderman Runge and asked him to ex-
plain himself.
Alderman Runge said that neither he nor
any member of his firm were bondholders of
the city. That his firm held bonds for other
persons as commission merchants.
Alderman Hurt thought he was a bond-
holder and thought he should not vote under
article 157.
The question was then voted on again, fix-
ing the tax at 1)4 per cent., and again lost.
The chair said there was no bill before the
house.
Alderman Mitchell moved that a postpone-
ment be taken until 4 o'clock to-morrow.
Alderman Hurt ceuld see no reason for
spending additional money for another meet-
ing.
By Alderman Runge—A resolution repeal-
ing one authorizing the Collector to receive
sidewalk improvement bonds at par for taxes.
Alderman Hurt asked for explanation.
Alderman Runge said that the intention of
the resolution was to stop the Collector from
taking illegal bonds for taxes, as some of the
bonds had oeen adjudged to be.
Alderman Runge introduced a resolution
authorizing annual statement to be published
one time in the Galveston News.
Alderman Mitchell called attention to the
fact that there was only about $1000 left the
Printing Committee, and he wanted as little
printing ordered as possible.
Alderman Hurt thought the Council should
appoint an official journal.
Resolution withdrawn.
Alderman Campbell moved to adjourn un-
til Tuesday evening, at five o'clock.
Aldermen Hurt thought if the adjournment
was taken it ought not to cost the city any-
thing.
Alderman Mitchell thought it a very indeli-
cate thing to vote away an Alderman's pay.
Ayes and nays called for on adjournment,
and motion declared carried.
Absti- 1
f, 1877. f
Address to ttae Pope.
At their regular meeting Sunday
evening St. Mary's Catholic Total Absti-
nence Society of this city caused the
following address to be prepared, which
Bishop Dubuis will deliver to the Pope
for them:
Hall St. Mary's Catholic Total Absti-
nence Society,
Galveston, Texas, Easter Sunday,
To Pope Pius IX:
Believing that it would be pleasant to your
Holiness to know that the faithful of your fold,
even in this distant land, hold in the deepest
solicitude the health and happiness of one
whom they believe represents correctly the
spiritual welfare of the world, and who pre-
sides over the destinies of that religion which
truly teaches the mysteries et redemption
achieved by the death of our Saviour on the
cross, the members of St. Mary's Catholic To-
tal Abstinence Society of Galveston, Texas,
have caused the following resolutions to be
passed:
Beaolved, That amid whatever conflicts may
befall his Holiness the Pope in administering
the affairs of the Church and guarding the
grand truths of that religion which has with-
stood the warfare of ages, the members of
this society will-ever hope and pray for the
consummation of his desires and the success
ef his cause.
Resolved, That Bight Rev. C. M. Dubuis,
Bishop of Galvgston, be requested to deliver
these resolutions to the Holy Father and to
ask his blessings upon the temperance organ-
izations of Texas.
Revolted, That the President of this society,
the President of the Total Abstinence Union,
of Texas, and the Spiritual Director, be re-
quested to authenticate and attest these reso-
lutions.
Tbe Sanitary Cases.
The sanitary cases that were tried be
fore the Recorder yesterday went off
on a sort of compromise judgment, in
which the defendants agreed to have
their respective lots raised to grade
within twenty days. Mr. C. W. Ad
ams's was the only case tried, and a
fine of $2-5 was imposed by his Honor
which he remitted after Mr. Adams had
stated that he was ready to go to work
filling his lots, and would begin to-mor-
row. His Honor told the sanitary pri
soners before him that it was an awful
strain on his judgment to remit the fine
but he did so hoping that it would re
suit in the aTeatest good to the greatest
number. The health officer says that
every man who has been served with a
notice had better go to work, for he has
a list of all the notices and will begin
to make arrests very soon of all persons
who have not complied with his com
mands.

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.
A strike Imminent on tbe Ptalla-
delphla and Heading Railroad
Philadelphia, April 2.—A general
strike is imminent on the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad in consequence
of the order issued to employes to sever
their connection with the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. To-day a
secret meeting of engiaeeas was held,
at which over 150 members were
present.
The divisions represented were 51, 45
and 71 of Philadelphia, 75 of Reading,
76 of Cataevissa, 00 of Pottsville, af-
fected by said order, and No. 22, of
Camden, and the division of Trenton
and Jersey City. J. L. Worrel pre-
sided, and addresses were made by
Grand Chief Engineer P. M. Arthur
and others. It was urged that harmo-
nious action shonld be taken, and no
violent resistance made, such as leaving
engines, etc. If a strike was agreed
upon, the engines should be taken tt>
destination in every case.
There was no formal vote taken, but
each memlier was left to make his own
choice. There was a determination,
not expressed by vote, however, to re-
main in the brotherhood. The next
twenty-four hours will determine
whether there will be a strike or not.
The leading officials say they are pre-
pared foi any emergency, and the pub-
lic will not suffer any inconvenience.
They say the company does not desire
to deprive engineers of benefits, but
proposes to establish an endowable life
and accident Insurance fund for engi
neers.
Later.—An officer of the company
stated that each man was asked during
last week whether he would remain
with the company or adhere to the
brotherhood, and out of one hundred
engineers in the employment of the
company, there were only about a
dozen who decided to quit work. This
morning all hands were on their en-
gines, which fact to the officers is an
assurance that the men will keep faith.

Special Correspondence of the News.]
Hdhtsville, March 31, 1877.
By the time you receive this the State
will have resumed control of the con-
vict system of Texas. But then come
many difficult questions. The settle-
ment of the differences arising between
the State and the lessees upon the ap-
praisement of property will consume a
great deal of time and cause unhappi-
ness in many breasts. It is also likely,
from what I hear, that the lessees will
not be able to close their partnership
accounts without considerable wear and
tear of patience and piety, likely to re-
sult in that most melancholy event, the
loss of mutual esteem and confidence
that their long and intimate association
in a somewhat perilous enterprise would
be supposed to inspire.
In fact the gnawing molars of distrust
and suspicion have already fastened
upon the soul of one of them. It is
CoL Nathan Patton, and he thinks the
four great powers of this State have
-combined to cheat him of his rights and
divide out his princely patrimony
among themselves. That combination
consists, according to his distempered
and jaundiced judgment, in Governor
Hubbard, Col. A. J.Ward, Burnett &
Eilpatrick, and the Galveston News,
who have traded together unlawfully,
bargained and conspired to bulldoze
him out of his lease and let themselves
in, by means of ways as nefarious as
those adopted by the Bradley commis-
sion. It is the wolf in the nock, and
he, as spotless and innocent as Mary's
little lamb, is to be immolated—after
being shorn of his fleece as white as
snow—upon the altar of a false deity.
In all this movement his rights have
been utterly ignored; he has no more
say than Santanta in his subterranean
cell, and less hope than Santanta, whose
miserable existence is sustained upon
corn bread and boiled beef. It is pleas-
ant to hear that he has announced that
he will settle squarely with the State,
even if he has to sell the coat off his
back, but it is not in keeping with the
dictates of the honest heart this decla-
ration is inspired by, to charge venal-
ity and dishonesty, without proof, upon
others, even though it be by innuendo,
insinuation, and in the way of village
gossip.
Circumstantially, and with more of
elaboration than is usual on the part of
this nervous orator of the streets of
Huntsville, the allegation is this: That
about $100,000 profit per annum is
made out of the -penitentiary, or will be
henceforth, which is to be divided and
distributed as follows, to wit: To the
said R. B. Hubbard, the party of the
first part, f25,000; to the said A. J.
Ward, party of the second part, $25,
000; to the said Burnett & Kilpatrick
parties of the third part, $25,000; and
to the said Galveston News, party of
the fourth part, a like sum of $25,000.
This distribution, besides being unfair
to Mr. Patton, must be unsatisfactory
to Col. Dewey. The latter gentleman
has acted in concert with Col. Ward,
and should not be shut out. It is an
arrangement that leads another inno-
cent Uanb to the slaughter—Col. Dewey
as well as Mr. Patton. Evidently Mr.
Patton's fancy is fearfully wrought up,
and bis hope is salivated, yet he ex
pects to die game. But his suspicions
are natural. He says himself that Ward
and Dewey could not have procured the
original lease without his influence, and
CoL Dewey says that when they made
the bid for it they knew nothing of Pat
ton's connection with it until the con
tract was presented to Ward and Dewey
for signatures, when they found Na-
than Pat ton's name as one of the les-
sees, and were obliged to accept him
when they found his political influence
with Davis and the then dominant party
would otherwise defeat their aims,
Now the political influences of that
day have waned, but Colonel Patton
who is a Bourbon in such matters and
learns nothing and forgets nothing,
naturally can not help believing that
the same state of venality and corrup
tlon exists in the dominant party now
He can not contemplate the act of any
high official, any influential journal, or
wealthy contractor, as by any possibili-
ty honest and free from guile. I pre
sume it was in a moment of passion
and not fully considered, but Colonel
Patton declared here that resumption
could only be accomplished by walking
into the prison gates over his cold re
mains lying prone upon the threshold.
The resumeis would not do this; they
would remove the cold corpus or slide
around the same. Not content, how
ever, with this defensive act at the
gates, when the quadruple alliance of
conspirators have done sitting upon his
remains and get up to enter the office
and resume he will resurrect, and, lo,
he will be with them and there read
his protest against such action. Now
the rasumers have notice of these dan
gers and the reporter's duty is so far at
an end.
But there is another act which this
reanimated corpus contemplates. From
the prison, when the formalities of
death at the portal, and resurrection
and protest by the resurrected, fail to
impede resumption, he will be escorted
to the court-house by those tender-
hearted attorneys of the Island City,
Messrs. Stewart and Spencer, bearing
in a great bag before them an enormous
bill in chancery to be here filed, asking
his late partners, Ward & Dewey, to
come up and account for their deeds
and doings, demanding a full exhibi-
tion of papers, accounts, books and
vouchers, and asking a thousand search-
ing questions, opening up to the light
before the dilated orbs of astounded
justice, a history of the blood stained
six years gone by—of the fraud, the
deceit, the hideous secrets, the blood-
freezing recital of villainies, the fan-
tastic vagaries of crime, the wrongs,
pilferings, and licentious orgies, only
heretofore by the boldest even whis-
pered to their most reliable friends.
This perhaps is sufficient to put Messrs.
Ward & Dewey upon the inquiry and
defensive. Let them beware! 1 have
devoted much space to Col. Patton
because he has said a great deal, and
kindly lets us know what he intends
to do.
Leaving to the future to disclose how
much of these distracting desperations
will dissolve in the flowing bowl, I will
mention some other matters which may
become great differences between the
lessees and the State, not creating ob-
stacles to resumption but to final and
satisfactory settlement between them.
I have heard that the lessees, before
they would be willing to proceed with
appraisement, will present and demand
satisfactory decision of three prelimi-
nary questions. First, having pur-
chased ground from the city of Hunts-
ville at a cost of about $10,000, for the
use of the prison, and which now ap-
pears indispensable to its convenient
management, will the State refund to
them the cost of the ground? Secondly,
having subsidized the Tap Railway
from Phelps, on the L andG. N. R. R.,
to Huntsville in the sum of $11,000, in
order to cheapen transportation, which
by wagons would be enormous, so that
during their fifteen years lease they
would have made in reduced freights
much more than the subsidy, and hav-
ing enjoyed only six years benefit on
015 of the outlay, will the State, hence-
forth to enjoy the benefits of 915
of the outlay, refund to them 9-15
of the money so expended? Thirdly,
having, when they assumed possess on
in 1871, received certain machinery for
manufacturing cotton and woolen goods
which is now out of fashion and out of
date, will the State agree to receive it
back in the same condition as it was
then and at tbe price then agreed upon?
If it is in equally as good order as when
first received they demand that it shall
be appraised at the value at which it
was appraised to them, acd not at its
presqpl mercantile value, which is a
very greatly reduccd tiguie, bccauss
lste inventions have supplied infinitely
sut^n^r it eiy, *caviij^ uld lvv*n»
without demand or value in the market.
When these questions are satisfacto-
rily settled, the appr&isementjwill then
proceed without delay, so that the
Governor may shortly know what to
advertise when he solicits bids for an-
other permanent lease. CoL Dewey,
talking with your reporter in relation
to these questions, said he would be
willing to leave them to the judgment
of any disinterested, fair-minded men,
suggesting as such any of the judges
of the Supreme Court. On the other
hand, Col. McKinney, for the State, in-
forms me that he considers the proper
course to proceed at once with the ap-
praisement, and when any question
comes up which appraisers can not
satisfactorily determine, let it be rele-
gated with others, as they arise, to the
arbitration to be finally had. The coun-
sel for the State, Messrs. McKinney &
Rudolph, and Col. Peeler, have antici-
pated all questions and decaands to be
met, and seem to be prepared at all
points to protect the public interests.
Considering the numerous financial
difficulties encountered by the lessees
and the interruption of their lease, just
at a time when it was beginning to be
porfitable, and considering the saving
to the State in having supported the
prison and convicts through a long
term erf monetary depression, it is ar-
gued on the part of the lessees that the
State could well afford to be liberal in
the settlement with them, that a prompt
settlement will be beneficial to both
parties, and that, therefore, all aggra-
vating disputes should be submitted at
once to dispassionate and disinterested
arbitration, without resort to the slow
process of the courts.
As to the management of the prison
and convicts after Monday, there seems
no doubt that Col. Ward will remain
resident manager. Col. Dewey himself
looks with no special degree of favor
upon this appointment; not that he
doubts Col. Ward's ability, or that the
State could do better, but it looks like
Ward had frozen him and Patton out
and left himself in the ring. Some say
that Ward was master of the situation
and demanded an interest and position
before he would sign the agreement to
relinquish possession April 2d; that
both Col. Dewey and Mr. Patton had
declared themselves (as is true) to be
perfectly willing, and the latter really
anxious, to step down and out, but that
Ward was differently inclined and held
the fort until acceptable articles of
capitulation were agreed upon. Col.
Ward was in a position to carry on a
long and exasperating defense. Such
men as Major C. S. West and Terrell
Walker and Mr. W. P. Ballinger had
fortified his position with the opin-
ion that his lease was a vested right not
to be impaired by the resumption act
of the Fifteenth Legislature, which
Richard II is now enforcing Whether
this latter personage, or Messrs. Bur
nett & Kilpatrick, saw the strength of
his position and compromised, can only
be known when time discloses the dura
tion of Col. Ward's term as resident
manager, and his interest, if any he has,
with the temporary lessees. People will
look upon it in different lights. Some
will observe that the Legislature did
not intend to pass judgment against the
lessee system, as they provided for an
immediate return to that system after
resumption, and that therefore it was
their intention to pronounce against the
lessees, Ward, Dewey & Co. Others
will say that Ward, Dewey & Co.'i
bond had become worthless and it was
not so much a change of lessees as it
was to procure absolutely reliable pecu
niary protection and security that the
Fifteenth Legislature intended. W hat
all will say about it a year hence is to
be determined after a year's trial of
Col. Ward under a general management
of very able and competent business
men.

Baltimore, April 2.—In regard to
the meeting of the presidents of the
trunk railroad lines said to have taken
place in New York on Saturday in re
ference to freight rates East and West
the following is furnished in this city
for publication:
In order to correct tie mischievous
effects of the false statements that have
been made as to the combinat'o i of
Erie, New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Companies, in opposi-
tion to the Baltimore aad Ohio Railroad
Company, the following dispatch from
President Scott is published:
Philadelphia, April 2,187T.
To John W. Garrett, President, Baltimore:
I notice in some of the paoers a statement
to the effect that the two New York lines and
the Pennsylvania Railroad had entered into
a combination on Saturday, offensive and
defensive, against your road, all of which
you have the best reason for knowing is of
course withrut any foundation whatever.
THOMAS A. SCOTT, President.
President Garrett states that the alle-
gations of bad faith against the Balti-
more and Ohio company are utterly
without foundation, and that this com-
pany can clearly demonstrate that its
action throughout, under the agreement
of December being just and proper, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
has been, and continues to be, not only
willing, but earnestly desires to advance
rates to a remunerative standard and to
arrange and maintain all tsrifs upon
perfectly just and equitable principles,
such as will, without doubt, mset with
general approval. It is understood Mr.
Garrett left for New York this evening.
