Ex-COMPTROLLER Connonily of New York has been arrested upon the same charge: as was made against Tweed, and like bim held in $1,000,000 bail. But unlike him he was not able to get the required amount, and was after being kept three days at a hotel, lodged in Ludlow street jail.

CONGRESS assembled yesterday. The President's Message was read, extracts from which we will publish next week. The relative party strength of the present Congress is as follows Senate, fifty-six Republicans, seventeen Democrats. House, one hundred and forty Republicans and one hundred and three Democrats. SOME trouble has occurred at Havana be tween Americans and the Spanish volunteers, and fear is expressed that, Spain and the United States will get into difficulty in consequence.

Already more vessels 1 have been sent by our government to cruise in the vicinity of Cuba. The Spanish Minister is alarmed at the situation, and has telegraphed to the authorities at Havana that our Government has instructed its representative in Cuban waters to resent any attempt on the part of the volunteers to interfere with American interests. THE sub-committee sent to Mississippi and Alabama to look into the operations of the Ku-klux in those States, find that in Mississippi the Ku-klux are operating chiefly against the educational system, having burned nearly all the school houses in the State and driven the teachers off. In Alabama the same lawless band determined to break up all the Methodist Episcopal church societies established since the close of the cebellion by northern missionaries, and have succeeded pretty effectually in accomplishing their object. Although the committee found a bad condition of affairs in both States, they believe the law can be vindicated without declaring martial law.

A Curious Incident. A singular instance of premonition of evil is related by a correspondent of the Bangor Whig. A certain musician residing in that city, after playing at a ball in a town some miles distant, last Monday night, retired to rest as usual, but was restless and unable to sleep, and a seusation of dread of something wrong took hold of his mind. He strove to shake it off, and courted sleep in vain. So strong did this uneasiness become that he at length arose and took the first train to Augusta, and immediately went to his home, where he found his wife and little son of four years of age both nearly suffocated from coal gas.

It was a long time before they could be revived. Had he been absent an hour longer they would doubtless both have been dead. tar" A young lady, with a number of others who were injured by a railroad accident near Boston, was carried to a hospital. The surgeon came around and said to the fashionable miss: Well, madam, what can I do for you? Doctor one of my limbs is "One of your limbs?" said he; well which limb is it 219 Oh, I can't tell you, doctor but it's one of my limbs." One of your limbs," thundered the doctor, out of patience; which limb is it--the limb you thread a needle No, sir," she answered with a sigh "it's the limb I wear a garter on." The doctor attended to her, and then said: "Young woman, never say limbs again in a hospital; for when a woman gets as fastidious as that, the quicker she dies the better."

There is no doubt that a large proportion of the twenty millions which we know to have been stolen have been used in the corruption of electors, and the payment of managers of both parties all over the State. We are only saying what all the men inside politics" know well, that there has for the last few years been hardly a town or county caucus, between this city and the lakes, in which Tweed's hand has not been felt. He has his agents everywhere-some stationary, some intinerant-and they are as numerous in the Republican as the Democratic ranks. To some he pays salaries, to others he makes donations, and others he holds by care" of a son or other relative or friend, in the city.

In this way he has influenced largely the return of the members of the Legislature. Under his manipulations, a considerable number go to Albany ready to be seduced. The virtue of the others does not stand very long after he has arrived with his moneybags, and their return to their constituents enriched, no longer excites shame on the one side or indignation on the other. We believe it was the experience of the reform Democrats at the late convention at Rochester that the country delegates were little if any superior in tone to the band of jail birds which Tammany sent up from the city. As regards the Republicans, we shall only say that Tweed has a book in which he has entered the sums paid last winter to the various Republican legislators for their votes, and that it is expected and believed that, if be finds that the game is really up as far as he is concerned, he will publish it.

Let us hope and pray he will. It will be the most striking "literary of the season. One entry in it at least has been already revealed by him with his usual cynism, and has been used against a prominent politician in the western part of the State during the late canvass. -From the Nation. Turning the Tables.

The Madison (Wis.) Journal of the 15th thus recounts how a tormentor became the tormented On Wednesday morning a boy ten years old succeeded by strategy in getting four or five live rats into a small upper room in Falk's brewery on the south side from the apartments used for drying barley. He closed the door on them and unsuspectingly went at them with a stick, when they turned upon him with the ferocity for which this vermin is noted under such circumstances. They made repeated leaps up into his face with a rapidity and savageness which he describes as terrible, nipping him on the cheeks and about the neck. For a time he succeeded in pushing them away from his shoulders, and many times they bit his hands and fastened their teeth through his trowsers into his legs. They kept him so busily on the defensive as to prevent him from seeking the door, and would have soon overpowered him with their fierce, persistant warfare, had not his shrieks for help brought the workmen to his assistance, who found him badly lacerated in many places; he fainted from fright on being rescued.

The rats all cleared the room the instant the door was opened. The Colorado Narrow Guage Railroad. The facts intimately connected with this road are that it is 70 miles long, and will soon be in regular running condition. It is a three feet guage. The actual cost was $12,500, per mile.

There were 35 miles of rails laid in five weeks; the rails weighing 30 lbs. per ard, against 50 on the Denver Pacific. The weight of a train complete, carrying 200 passengers, is but 70 tons, against tons for a broad guage train carrying 212 passengers. Each car weighs but eight tons, against 29 tons on the old system. The freight cars, weighing 4,000 lbs.

will carry 10,000 lbs. weight, and though the engine and tender weigh but 15 tons they took the excursion train along 25 miles an hour easily. The reduction of running expenses, that is, aftor all the great argument for the narrow guage makes two of the whole weight transported pay, whereas on the broad guage system four fifths are dead, and taken at a perceptible loss. Thrilling Scene in a Catholic Church. On Thursday morning last, during the 9 o'clock service at the church of St.

John the Evangelist, in New York, a scene took place that struck terror into the heart of every mother present. Father M'Mahon, while earnestly addressing his congregation, was interrupted by one of his assistants handing him a note. On perusing it he remarked: "If there is a lady present by the name of Curtis, she will please follow me at once to the clergy-room, adding "that something had occurred at her home since she left it one hour ago." There was a general stir throughout the assembly, and presently a lady arose and made her way toward the front of the church, the priest following her out. He shortly returned, however, saying the lady who had responded to the summons was the wrong person. It was some other Mrs.

Curtis whose attention he desired to attract; but as no one moved he continued, that the child of the woman whose attention he desired to attract had been burned to death since she left it that morning. An exclamation and a woman's shriek of agony succeeded the announcement, and the poor mother was led through the crowd. A nameless fear had kept her from obeying the first summons. A Nice Income. One of the best paying offices in the Unised States is the position of Sheriff of New York City.

A N. Y. paper in speaking of the emoluments of the Sheriff and his employees makes the following Sheriff, in the year ending June 30th, received $79,816,10. For commitments he received during January, February, March, April, 29; May, June, and at the same time for services during the quarter ending March, 31, and during the quarter ending July 1, 765.60. The satisfaction of belonging to the Sheriff's office even in a subordinate position can be estimated when it is understood that Judson Jarvis, Brennan's man Friday, was allowed $1,500 by the Board of Supervisors for removing a prisoner from New York to Owego.

Correspondingly rich pickings are allowed to all the hirelings of this oppressive chief. There is scarcely a lawyer in the city who could not tell instances of extortion by the employees of the Sheriff. Two Husbands. Twenty years ago John Carter and Mary Johnson were married in Philadelphia. John was a sailor not unfrequently shipped for voyages to India and Japan.

But in in the spring of '61 Mary and her children were left without a protector. In the beginning of the year John had engaged on board the clipper Columbia for Calcutta, and the vessel was wrecked off one of the islands of the East Indian archipelago and all her crew were supposed to have perished. After the lapse of years the comely widow married George Wilson, and after their marrage they went to New York and took rooms at 250 East Twenty-sixth street. A month ago the first husband turned up. Mary is in a quandary.

tar Among the effects of a poor fellow named William Green, who died at St. Louis hospital, lately, was found a policy on his life, in favor of his sister, Johanna Green, for, $1,000. The woman has been found in great poverty, out of which the gift of her dead brother will lift her to parative comfort. This man, dying poor and friendless, among strangers, an object of public charity, in his death blesses his sister with the fruits of his loving forethought years before. We do not know whether the policy was in the Continental of New York, or net, but very probably it was, as they pay their losses promptly.

The general agent for this State, is J. F. Eaton, College Block Harrisburg. A gentleman of Bethel, Vermont, has made a discovery in tanning leather which, he claims, will revolutionize the business. The material he 11808 is dry forest leaves, and his experiments are said to have been entirely satisfactory.

One ton of leaves will tan as much leather as five cords of hemlock bark, and will do work in one-half the time. By mixing the leaves and bark in equal proportions, onefourth of the time is saved. The leather tanned by this process is smoother, more flexible, and yet retains the strength of the raw hide in a greater degree than that tanned by bark. Specimens exhibited at the Vermont State Fair were awarded the first premium, after being subjected to the severest tests. AMERICAN HOMES.

A despatch from Spain, on the 29th says: The marriage of Major-General D'. E. Sickles, U. S. Minister, to Senorita Creak, which was celebrated yesterday, caused much sensation in Madrid in fashionable circles.

The lady is twenty-two years of age, lovely, accomplished, and well known in fashionable society in the capital. She is the daughter of the Assistant Treasurer of the Province of Addalusia. The couple embark on Saturday, December 2d, on a visit to America. LONDON, Nov. a colliery explosion on Friday near West Bromwich eight miners are known to have been killed.

A similar accident is reported in a coal mine near Haverford West by which twenty men were injured. Rossel and two of his companions, who were members of the Commune, have been recently shot at Paris. Strong appeals were made to President Theirs for Rossel's pardon. Small-pox is spreading, in virulent form, in Plymouth, England and its immediate vicinity. The German military authorities at Epernay have executed two Frenchmen who killed a German sentinel.

The public uneasiness over the condition of the Prince of Wales and his prospective demise is so great as to effect most perceptibly the markets of London. "The Aldine" for 1872. Much curiosity has been aroused to see this new Champion of American Art," and the publishers to gain a fruitful harvest by a timely, gratification of this very natural feeling, have brought initial issue a month before the usual time. The verdict, which they have so long been anxiously working for, must be favorable. The fulfillment is certainly up to the promise-which is saying a great deal.

Perhaps the first feature to attract the attention of old acquaintances is the change from green to buff in the color of the cover -hardly an improvement except so far as to prepare for the greater changes inside. On investigation we find that the almost extravagant excellence of last year's paper improved upon, the paper of this number being nearly one half heavier.The surface also seems better adapted to the rendering of those fine tints and delicate grays which the printers of The Aldine" know how to render so exquisitely. We also find that the advertisements have been restricted to the wrapper, and an additional sheet inserted, giving seven more pages to the paper space well improved under the judicious care of the new poeteditor. As a first number the one now before 11S speaks well for the management of Mr. Stoddard, who will well merit all that has been conceded since the announcement of his assumption of the editorship.

Of the new American feature it is not too much to say, that the beginning is all that could be wished by the most enthusiastic native. The illustration on the first page, Maud is one of she happiest instances that has ever come to' our notice of the power of the pencil to reinforce the pen. The perfect harmony of ideas between the quoted lines of Whittier's best production and the delicate, graceful figure of Miss Davis' delineation will be grateful indeed to all lovers of that poetry which is not confined to words.For the artist, who we understand is a young of about twenty, we predict an enviable success in the path she has chosen-a path unvexed by questions of woman's rights. The full page picture from a design by Darley, "The Nooning," is in itself prize; Henry Linton, the engraver, has produced, in relief, all delicacy of fine steel engravings, and the picture is wonderfully suggestive of the American Bank Note Company, for whose vignettes the very best work of this artist has been produced. Tropic Forest," by Granville Perkins, engraved by Weights, is a grand grouping the characteristics of South American forest scenery, and the rich verdure of tropical vegetation is given by both artist and engraver in a style that few would believe could be produced outside Paris.

Mr. Perkins has all the strength of Dore in this particular field, and has the merit of being much more natural; the page is certainly a vindication of our home talent, and must be accepted as high art in any country. Two views of Venice-the frontispiece, "A Venetian Festival," in all the rich glow of firelight happily suggested by the very warm tint selected, and the dark melancholy Bridge of Sighs, with not a living thing in sight--are remarkable for the strong contrast, marking two very distinct aspects of Venetian history. The other pictures are very good, and we do not hesitate to pronounce this new departure' a decided success from the start -an artistic gain for the, periodical and a triumph of American taste and enterprise. The publishers should have the support of every public spirited citizen, and we hope our county will be well represented on the subscription books of The Aldine.
