IT will gratify the many friends the ffentieman to learn that at the first meet- tug of the full Board of Canal Appraisers yesterday, Mr. William J. pRrf an was elected Chairman.

Tbis compliiubiii is in reeosnitlon of Mr. MOROAN'S thorough acquaiiitince with canal aflairs, aid we are fiuite confident that the Board will render good service to the Skate inidpr his competent and cousclenUouS! uiretion. Tm delegation from me ewiio who had threatened to go to Chicago and intimidate the Kcguhlican Convention have thought It all ever anu tn let the Convention i have its own way. This Is kind ami prudent. The vounir men wouldaiave foubd uiieom- tlfortable in the sun, and tliey certainly would have found no pliii-e waiting for I them Inside the Convention.

I They wear 1 thev will not vote for Grant. So.be it ilf they tell the truth half I of theifi will have to confess that they never vote the .1 L- a a. rf -a. .11 1 Kepublican ticket, and are at neiiri in iun 1 sympathy with (He Democracy. The magnanimity of the Gran men I in jthls preliminary" canvass is Illustrated by the action of the Colorado Coiiviiiition The friends of the sdldier-t' statesman! were largely In thtf niajorlly and passed resolutions Instructing the i delegates use all honorable 'means to secure hb election.

At tlie sortie time tkey paid a high compliinenll i Mr. Blainb, and pledged the Kopnbican vote I to the Chicago nominee whoever life may be. This spirit has prevaili in thejriiuks of the Grant men from the first, 11 no cruelty, it is difficult to see. Now, that the cn-yimi season nas eome, persona, other than Presbyterian ministers, should remember the treacherous character of the craft. You may treat- a cat-boat with the utmost kindnesav laytshing the most appetizing paint upon its sides, and keeping its sail as white as snow, but sooner or later that cat-boat will drown yon if it can.

There is no more erratitude and fidelity In a cat-boat than there is in a cat, and eternal vigilence in connection with cat-boats is the price of dry clothing. Rapid Firing. A gun which can fire 5.000 shots in thirteen minutes was recently tested in Washington. The Gardner Is a machine gun, like the Gatliog. It has two barrels made of ateel.

encased in brass. This is. an auxiliary to small arms, and is simply a gun 'NfjL by the ingenuity of the designer, is calciated to do the work of a number r.t muskets, and do it more, rapidly and effectively. )m i Dam snoot as accurately as a musket, but it properly handled must be fearfully destructive, especially when directed against a line or an advancing column. Its calibre is 45-100 of an inch, and the same cartridges are used as in ordinary rifle practice.

The charge is seventy grains of powder, and tbe ball weighs 405 grains. It IS mounted on a small field carriage, and is light enough to cmeu uy iwo men. The whole length of the gun is only four feet. It can be fired 600 times in a minute, its capacity in this direction being only limited by the rapidity by tuiu 1 wui ue ieu. 11 steam couia apply the motiv power, and it cnnltl hA fel fci enough, there is no telling bow rapid it could be fired.

The firing is done bv turn in if crank in rear of the ran. and It fe.1 through a flat-sbaned box. into which the cartridges are placed In blocks holding twenty each. Tbey tit down neatly Into this box which holds about fills cartridges, and as fast- as the crank is turnetl thev ran down into a channel and are carried forward for dis- cnarge anu tbe empty cartridges returned and dropped beneath. Five thousand shots were nreu in tnirteen minutes, three men re lieving eacn otner at the ciank: JVew.

York irtoune. A Bad SIoubnky. A pathetic story is told of the sufferings of John Oatnaught and his ramiiy, consisting of a wife and eleven chil dren, who arrived in this country about Iwo weeks ago. It seems that Oatnaught, wbo had oeen a farmer in Belgium, became dis- gusteu witn tne harvests in that country, and having inquired from some of his ennntrvmon who had emigrated to Idaho, about th nrm. pact in that section and received encouraging replies, be determined to bring his family there.

He sold his little place and from the proueeusDi tue saie ne paw tbe passage of himself and family, his remaining funds being very sma.l. On bis arrival at Caatla den be started immediately for the West, but nis money carried tnem only as far as Troy, N. Y.

When they reached that citv thev ware wu cared for by charitable people, to whom thev told their story, but another little one had suffered too much hardship and succumbed to it. The family are now recuperating and will be iorwarue.1 so tneir destination as soon as they have soliiciently recovered from their late lauguu. xv. jieraut.

THE CHUCKS or THK riXIED KKIGBT. ADJOURN REST. THE GUIJIARK." THK Slil hkr ixomis. SOCIETI TATTLE. 4-SENATOR BAYABDV irom Our Regular OOrrttponOent, Washington, May Interest seems to be transferred to Chicago as far as.

political matters are concerned. With the action of the hard-fought battle at Springfield and tbe no less sweeping victory at Selma, also, the question of the Republican Presidential nom ination appears to be settled in the minds of all. The bureaus have given np the fight and are preparing to take account of stock and go out of business. One more rally will be made by the Blaine forces at Chicago, when the plumed knight will in all probability appear to manage the matter himself. He thinks if he had avoided tbe sunstroke dodge in 1876 and gone to Cincinnati he would have succeeded.

Whatever might have been the re sult there the most astute politicians now unite in the verdict that he will never again come so near the nomination as he did then. In fact all bis advocates except those on whom his prodigal promises in case of success have acted as tne great power 01 attraction 10 nis banner nave given up tne contest. Tne jsiaine press is preparing a crow banquet and vigorously hedging; the Grant men, who have never doubted the ultimate success of the hero wh was never yet defeated can hardly suppress chorus of "I told you so." Tbe honorable Secretary is slyly trying to be urged against nis will iur mv hkuqu piaw uu hid uvkti, uiu those who know him best intimate that he will not stand seduction long and is really more than -half -persuaded to allow the impression to go abroad that be was working in the interest of the great chieftain all the time. Whatever else may be said, jonn Sherman is no fool, and is far more ready to observe the direction of popular currents than the autocrat of the Pine Tree State. However treat a leader Senator Blaine may be, it is the opinion of all wbo know nis methods that when he has bis own cause to deal with he shows a lack ot that all-powerful political wisdom that marks his course when he is advocating the advancement of interests in wnicn ne is not so nearly concerned.

lie lacks the farseeing acumen of Conkling or Logan or Carpenter, or other great leaders. His passions blind him as to facta. He will not accept appearances for their actual worth, but goes blindly ahead, like the man whoe bad cause he expects to be benefitted in some mysterious way by something that may turn up. i This is the secret of his bull-dog persistence in the face of stunning defeat." He is a man of great personal power, no doubt, but is not puissant enough to control the United States, with its millions upon millions of free thinking 1 ADJOURNMENT. The prospect" of adjournment is not very bright.

It might as well take place, however, for all the good the next few weeks will do the country. All the Republican leaders have tbeir baggage checked for Chicago, and before they return an equal proportion of Confederates will be en route for Cincinnati, with its $8 a barrel beer and Independent Scratchers. If they come back after these two cities bave passed from immediate public interest, they will simply waste two or tbree more weeks in campaign speeches at public expense. It is said that the Democrats intend to wait till after the Convention and then return and put on record several tirades against the Republican nominee, and then adjourn without giving tne otner siue a cnance to reply. i THE GUI.NARE.

The Oulnare, that is to take the Howgate ex pedition to the Northern seas, is being rapidly prepared for her trip. She has been successfully launcbed, and is being stored with the thousand and one things necessary to the Arctic regions, it IS! expected itbat she win sail about June first. Capt. Chester, who was a member of the ice-iloe party of tbe Polaris will not accompany the expedition, as he says be is getting too old for such trips. He has lent the experience of an old navigator in the Artie seas to the work in fitting out the nare however, and pronounces the result good.

THE! EXODUS. Already the iSummer exodus: from Wash ington has begun. Secretary Ramsay's family go to Minnesota. Mrs. Logan has left for Chicago, and in a few days there will be a general scattering to all parts of the compass.

There Will be a little more society festivity, nowever, neiore tne capital is deserted, sev. erai weddiogs are announced, ami engage ments nil tne columns or tbe Sunday papers, It Is the late harvest gathered in after tbe Winter's sowing and watering. Among others about to yield is Congressman Loring, of Massachusetts, who weds a New York widow, one Mrs. Hildreth.

Mrs. Thackara, nee Sherman; and her husband have returned from their wedding tour, and are at the Gen eral's house. The groom expects soon to leave on a long cruise, and his wife will probably remain with her father's family. SENATOR BAYAKD.

From Our Regular Correnpondent, Albany, May 2o, 1880. The Board of Audit Awards me with another set-back in the Assembly this morning though the Ml passed 'the Senate yesterday. On its announcement in tbe Assembly Brennan moved to disagree with the report and that a Committee of Conference be appointed, and this was done. Tbe claimants are thus placed on the anxious-seat a few days longer. (Juite a number-, of bills recalled from the Governor were amended and passed again.

I did not notice any one: ot interest to your THE REPORT ON TIIB -SUrTLY RILL was announced in' the Senate, and MrSkin ner moved to disagree. Mr. Mills made some objections to tbe report, and named a number of items which questionable. He atluueu lo tbe luqt that tbe Senate had increased the Assembly bill uearlv one million of dollars. The whole bill is between five and six hundred thousand dollars more than it was last year.

In tbe bill of last Tear was in. eluded the new Capitol appropriation and this year it was a separate bill. One objection to this report is providing for tne paymenr, ox clerks and messengers of Sen ate committees without authority of law. Another questionable appropriation is that increasing tne salary or tne late superintend entof Insurance two thousand dollars, from five to seven thousand dollars. Still another is the appropriation for various arsenals.

And the appropriation far the Brockport Normal bccooi was cnuciseu. Mr. ii listed explained all these appropria tions, anu ueienueu tneir propriety ana ne cessity, -i As for clerks and messengers in the Senate, tne Assembly wouui not be uiscourteous enough to question their propriety. The Senate is competent to decide as to its own a WESTERN MOUSE OF REFUGE. There is an appropriation: of sixty-five thousand dollars for additional buildings for a primary and graduating department for boys, it is said that this institution was one of the very best and most useful ot the kind in the world.

1 i Still another appropriation for tbe Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Bath, for tbe erec tion of a hospital, ten thousand dollars, for improvements of grounds, for fencing, and for inducting farm nve thousand dollars, and for tbe erection of a chapel five thousand dollars. Messrs. and Varnum ones. tioned the propriety ot this appropriation. UU.

The report was debated until one o'clock, when the same was adopted: without amendment.

Dor ing the roll-call several members under tbe pic of being excqsed Ironj voting made objections to Borne of tbe items and voted no. Others were equally opposed to some of tbe provisions but voted in the affirmative with the bope tnat tne Uovernor would use the pruning knife and veto tbe objectionable 'j--ij. 'GRAND ISLAND SCHOOL IDISTEICT. In the Senate. on motion of Senator Wil.

In the Assembly a bad lead was struck when Mr. Travis moved to reconsider a vote by which the bill for a claim bill ot a party in New York for work done in repairing streets, was recommitted with instructions to strike out the enacting clause. Mr.

Mitchell opposed the motion, and said the statute of limitation had run. lMr. Travis thought it disgraceful 1 that tbe city should take advantage of the statute of limitation for work done for! a rich city by an individual. The vote by which the bill was recommitted was reconsidered and the btii lost. Up to six o'clock only one bill in tbe order of third reading was passed, but the session was extended indefinitely for the purpose of third CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

The constitutional amendment relative to courts, which gives power to the Judges of me superior court 01 Buffalo to noiu Circuit Courts was passed in the Assembly. Mr. Harvey J.

ACADEMY OF HIECfi BKOS to be relied on In an emergency than tie doubtful element are the Washbcrne and Edmunds men. The gentlemen whose names are used by those skirmish ers are both ardent advocates of General Grant's nomination, and it will be strange If at least a score of them do not come over their leaders' first choice when the crisis comes In which they must choose between Grant and Blaine. The New York tTribune makes out Grant's vote on the first ballot less than 300, and less than Blaine's an estimate that will not hold waterbut which is in keeping with the frothy charac ter of the Tribune't statements all through its red-hot canvass in behalf of the mag netic Yetthe Tribune, even while demonstrating by the largest and blackest of figures, that Grant's nomination Is an impossibility, plainly betrays Its'apprt- Kension that the impossible in this caw, as in other crises of Grant's career, may real ly come to pass. Finding cold comfort In its "cooked" tables, the Tribune falls back with a great show of exultation on the fact that the organization of the Con vention will be in the hands of the A majority of the Na tional Committee are against Grant, it asserts, and will elect an anti-GRANT temporary chairman. Each State and Territory Will be entitled to one member of the several Committees Credentials, I Organization and llesolutions.

Taken by the division of third-term and anti-third-; term, the 47 members of these Committees will stand 10 of the former to 35 of the lai tiir, "Therefore, "says the Albany echoing the Tribune, wUlrthe machinery of the Convention in the hands of those who will allow fair play and the expres sion of the popular will bjf the delegates. the friends of Blaine or of Sherman sec no reason to be alarmed." With such an outlook they ought notonly not to be farmed, but Blaine and Sherman to drop their insulting organs ought and childish flings at the larger por tion of the party that seeks General Grant's nomination. Yet we have little doubt that should Grant be nominated these same organs that now confess that anti-GRANT men control the entire machinery of the Convention will still com plain that bis nomination was. "sprung" on them In some mysterious manner or was "forced" down the Convention's ihroat by that dreadful 6gre Logan. We beg these agitated orgaiis who are so neivous lest timid and unsophisticated political tyros like Messrs.

Blaine, Sherman and their backers should be run over or eaten up, at Chicago, to keep cool a few days longer. The agony is nearly ended. TUNNELING, HUDSON RIVER. The bill authorizing the construction of a railway tunnel under the bed of the Hudson lliver from the Jersey shore to New York City lias just passed both houses of the Legislature and will, in all probability, loon be signed by the Gover nor. A similar measure was passed through iho Assembly last Winter, but the New York Central ltailroad Interests were too trong in the Senate to permit of its adop tion by that House.

For some reason, lowever, the Central has withdrawn all opposition this year, and the bill was iissed without much trouble. The construction of this proposed tunnel will be a long step towards procuring rail way terminal facilities in-tne that have been so sadly needed for years. Work has already been begun on the West shore of the river, and as scon as the tunnel bill becomes a law operations wall at once commence on the New York side. When this gigantic bore Is com pleted tlio current of transportation which is now interrupted at the New Jersey coast will flow unimpeded and emerge near the centre of that section of the city which is below Fourteenth Street, ami which seems destined at 110 distant day to be given up to wholesale trafllc. The commercial advantages Vhieli New York derives from Its unsurpassed position, and from the great extent of Its water-front as compared with its territorial area, have suffered a serious drawback on account of the barrier which the Hudson River inter poses to land carriage irom tnc vest.

Freight trains must stop, on the New Jersey tide, and their loaded cars are either brought across on huge barges or then- contents unloaded and transferred In lighters to the docks or steamships that re to receive them. This involves much dulay and expense, and prevents the de velopment of proper terminal facilities at that port The disadvantage IS so great as to operate as a serious check upon the commercial growth of the Metropolis of the country. Of alt the recent improvements In and about New York City of late years this" tunnel enterprlso Is the greatest, not ex- ceptiugthe East-Kiver bridge. The ilitler-ence between the expense of placing Western products in the business portion of the City under the present system and through a tunnel can scarcely be computed. For years Philadelphia and Baltimore have had the advantage of New York 111 the struggle for the Western railway trade.

The reason was the superior terminal facilities those two cities enjoyed as compared with our own metropolis. TJie construction of a tunnel, however, will be Jhe first step in the right direction and others will soon bo taken after the first has been safely accomplished. POLITICAL MATTESS.

DESPERATE EXCITE1ENT AT THE STOCK EX. CHANGE. COAL-BOAD WRECKERS AND OFFX CIAL STAB IN THE Ag. CEBDAST. alOSl'JIMKE HEAT.

DAIS FASHION AND HEB SEASIDE i Prom Our Regular Correspondent. Nrw York, May 23rd, 1880. The Stock Exchange for several days past has again monopolized public attention, consequent upon tbe failure ot the Beading Bead and its expected effect upon the entire market. The daily transactions have not reached so large a total as during the previous week for the reason that barring tbe fact in the other coal stocks, prices have been tolerably maintained. This is a surprise: to the public, who looked for a wide-spread-fall and thronged Broad Street and its vicinity eager to sell short on the first Intimation of a big break.

CITT LOSSES IN READING will be small, as the road has been under sus picion for several months, and tbe brokers and professional gamblers have been rather short than long. In the: other coal stocks. however, large local losses have been sustain ed. It has been a surprise to me lor many months that people should so readily accept the rose-colored statements of such roads the Jersey Central and Delaware A Lackawanna and again buy their stocks for investment at anything over 30, especially in the case of the latter, the Jersey Central having been relieved 01 a good deal 01 dead wood by its reorganization. So road has ever yet achieved success in producing its own freight and making money from its transportation; What would be thought if tbe Rock Island, SU Paul or Northwest should buy land and raise grain in order to get freight, and by a close combination compel small producers to sell them their grain at starvation figures or refuse to carry it and so drive' them out.

Yet this is exactly what tbe coal combination has done. It is worth a moment's notice to see how the principle of the thing works in prac- lice. Originally these roads were strictly common carriers. Many people In Pennsyl vania made a business of mining coal, some of them on a very small scale, but there was an open market, the roads had one rate lor ail and all made a good Later on an evil spirit of greed seized the managers of one corporation and thev determined to buv laree coal fields, mine the coal themselves and beat tbe individual producers by discriminating against them in freight. The next thing was to buy the coal properties and turn tbem Into the corporation at two to five times their cost.

ThuB a railroad company sound, profit able and able to attend to its own business soon found itself burdened with an enormous debt and worse than all a policy of dishonesty towards those who, as coal miners, little and big, by their own efforts, had made the road all it was. Then commenced the general business by these managers 01 CHEATING THEIR OWN. COMPANY in its mining operations till it reached a point where every ton: 01 coal laid down at tide water cost the company as much as it received for it. Up to this time, despite the arbitrary rates established against Individual produ cers, this latter class made both ends meet because they understood their business and managed it Emboldened by success other ot other companies launchedtbeir roads into the same business in order to line their pockets in similar ways. Soon they had bought the bulk of tbe coalfields, and in reckless baste to increase their pronUMncreaned their production of coal to a point iar oeyonu possioie- requirement.

Every one knows their history since. Sup pose that they bad honestly stuck to their legitimate business, would they not have been towers ot financial strength today A rail road that commences TO SECRETLY DISCRIMINATE against the majority ef its patrons and natural supporters will either come to ruin after a while or law wilt be successfully invoked to put a stop to its rascality. What the coal roads have done in Pennsylvania in one way the Mew York Central and Krie in our own State have done in another. They have given certain merchants and manufacturers in each of tbe cities and towns alone tbeir lines such drawbacks on freight rates as would if long continued ruin the mass of the merchants from New York to Iiunilo. I think railway dishonesty and cupidity has reached its height during our generation, for legislation during toe next lew years win certainly curtail toe present unlicensed power 01 eacn utile omclal Ting to make tbe road it represents a vehicle of public oppression.

1 May 24th. I little thought when writing the preceding lines last night that today would witness such A GENERAL FALL AND TANIG IN STOCKS, There was no indication-of it at the close, Saturday p. M. as the market had apparently cut lose from the influence of Reading. It seems, that yesterday when most good people were at church, a meeting of quite anotoer cnaracter was neiu Dy a lew great stock gamblers in tbe private parlor of one 01 meir numuer at tne imisor Hotel, anu a general attack, along tne entire line arranged for today.

Brokers were sent for and orders of operation detailed to each. This morning the market opened quietly, and it was evident that no large outside orders to buy had come in over Sunday to enable the bears to get out the first ot their shorts at full figures. Thereupon their brokers jumped on the market about 11 A. M-, taking Jersey Central first, breaking it six and then in turn attacking tbe other coal stocks, snd all the Vanderbiit stocks including Western Union Telegraph. By noon there was a panic All over the city crowds pressed around the 1 stock tapes, and in turn as they learned the news, hurried down town to see the fight and perchance take a hand.

Then came a reaction, people took couraee and- commenced when Gould's cohorts rallied, and by dint of enormous sales swept everything before them and at the closing hour the lowest prices of the day were made. Tonight the uptown hotels and clubs are crowded-with excited people eager-to take "a flyer" and ah vainly trying to discover Whether the raid is to be continued tomorrow. I have just left an old veteran in the business wbo has the confidence of several of the solid operators, and he assures me that the fight will not cease till the Van- aeruut stocks nave been carried ten per cent lower. The local stocks are expected to take another heavy fall from sheer force of dead weight, Erie stock and bonds are also to be subjected to another squeeze. Gould has given Keene a bad shaking, without question, and one of the brokers of the usually successful Callfornian failed outright this afternoon.

Gould is playing a tremendous game, and if the general business prospects of the country continue good, by aid of the great fall now taking place in stocks he will within comparatively a few weeks be the owner of more railway stocks than ever before were held by any one man, Ysnderbilt not excepted- There is not the slightest doubt that before the year is out he intends to be the railway king of America, and with bis enormous capital there is nothing to prevent. 1 1 THE DOG DATS are almost upon us. Already the Summer heat is intense; and people are rapidly leaving town. Tho long drought serves to keep everything covered -with dust, and Summer life in town is already growing burdensome. Tne theatres will finish up their seasons this week, and save the fine orchestra at Koster A Bial's garden there will soon be left to us no amusements save those provided by provincial and "variety" stars with specialties which have grown to be an unbearable nuisance.

At tbe watering places near and tar tbe Bummer firomlses to be exceptionally bright and excit-ng. The enormous hotels at Kockaway and Long Beach will soon be added to the list of sea aide attractions, while Coney Island, with its new mammoth Oriental Hotel and half dozen other smaller ones, will undoubtedly attract throngs than ever. Long Branch especially at the West end is regaining its old position as I THE RESORT Of NICE TKOPLK. Xumhers of handsome private cottages are being built betweeu the West ftnd riotel snd Deal Beach, and the class of people who destroyed the character of Lone. Branch for several years, have been gradually weeded out, till this year it will be possible to take one's family to any hotel without the risk of their being involuntary witnesses of all manner of open debaucheries.

Those twin evils, malaria and ague, have well nigh ruined the Ijudion ftiver as a dimmer resort, and Newport will this year gain many families who have hitherto elung to their beautiful estates on the American Rhine. Our Methodist brethren are waxing mightier man ever, on tne jersey uoast. and altogether tbe seaside population this Summer will be greater theji ever known before. Uhbs. The Midget's Death.

The next day the director of the theatre met the actress In a ravishing toilet of fresh bright colors. "It is very bad of you abuse my confidence in this manner," he said. Your mother is just dead, you say, and here I.find you In the- gayest costume." Monsieur," responded the young artiste, "I declare I d'd not deceive you.

TVufA relates that a distinguished Austrian painter recently exhibited at the Kunstler haus an historical picture in which was seen very tine bead of an old man. Shortly after wards a mysterious personage called on the artist and desired to know the name and ad dress of the model who had served him or that splendidly-executed head. After some explanation the painter gave the desired in formation, and the police forthwith proceeded to the lodgings ot this strikingly-handsome old man.

Tkrfkctly disgusting and at the same time unaccountable is the mawkish sympathy that women are evincing for two condemned murderers confined in the Tombs at New York. One of them is an ignorant, worthless Italian, who murdered his wife in a fit of jealousy. In his behalf we believe it can he that he had some provocation, and that he murdered the faithless woman in the white heat of But the other subject of feminine adulation is no less than Chas-tine Jox the low-lived mulatto Who murdered Mrs. Hull, into whose room he worked his way while committing a burglary. It is reported as an actual fact that many women not even remotely acquainted before with these brutes call at their cells with cigars, silk handerchiets, button-hole bouquets and other tokens, and the two fellows-are petted and complimented until they are in a fair way to believe that they are the victims of circumstances heroes and martys.

The following train of thought suggested itself Did you ever see a procession with no boys leaiiing the advance or following along by the side of it? Never, unless it was a funeral procession. But there is no other procession that he doesn't take stock in. His proudest position is right alongside of the drum-major, and be would feel that a kick iron that gorgeous personage or a thump from his staff with the big, gilded knob would be the highest honor be could receive. The next most desirable position is next to the man wbo blows tna bga-dram, which he will hold for squares at the Imminent risk of having his brains knock out by the big drum-stick.
