Withrow surprised the others by turning state's evidence, whereupon the attorney (or the defendant* objected to his testimony on the ground that a criminal charge was then resting against him Upon this objection the state nolle prosad the rase against Withrow.

The UaJfon Terminal company, which owns the big depot, ferry franchise and storeage build n .s where the West Shore railroad ends at W ehawken, enjoys peculiar privileges (Jnder the general railroad law it pays onl . oio ialf ol 1 per cent, to the state as tax and iaabso utely free from local taxation. 0;herruroad laws on the statute book declare thai any railroad organised under the laws or New Jersey may lawfully merge and oon-, D-oUdat3 with any foreign corporation provided a continuous line or lines is formed; provided further, that the plan of consolidation is preCented to the legislature and i s content secure I; an 1 still farther provided, tail no company claiming contract with the state on the subject of taxation shall so cousolidat* unless it surrenders such contract.Washington, Jan. 7.—Reviewing the history of ocr coin legislation, the act of 1878, Mr. Gray mid, was tentative. It was based on the idea that silver would shortly reach an international ratio with gold. It was the hope of attainment of this international ratio that actuated many thoughtful men in ▼oting for that bill This hopa had been disarpointed, the object of the bill had been defeated, and the dollar worth ninety-two cents in 1878 was now worth less than eighty cents. Passionate Invective on the part of silver men wonld not enhance the value of the silver dollar. The actions and recommendations of the president and secretary of the treasury on the silver question were right He (Mr. Grey) wag not here to defend any one,, but economic laws were always the same. He was not a bondholder, nor the ■on of a bondholder, but he was for paying the bondholders honest money. The true issue in the question was whe' ' er the true relation of gold and silver could be reached bv the continuance of the present plan of silver coinage. This could not be done. Silver co nage had served a us ful purpose as subsidiary coin, but no country desired a basis of silver coin alone, and if gold were supplanted by silver we would have a sliver basis. The gold standard had kept us in easy relations with the rest of the world. Bl-metaliam could not be reached by any one country alone. Prance had long ago ■lopped her silver cpinage, and should we, by continuing our present course, drive out of the country several hundred millions of gold coin? If we did so we should have contraction indeed. London, Jan. 7.—It* representative has cabled to The Boston Globe as follows: Personalities being more interesting than abstractions to the average mortal, the turn taken in the discussion of Irish affair? affords relief to a public tired of apparently endless arguments based on ganeral po)i. ical consideration«. Ruskin's letter inviied En *- lish state-men to siudy the character, and to fit a government to it. Trie eminent artist painted the Irish as witty, warm hearted and careless. Earl Grey takm uy Kuskin's challenge and proceeds to fill i" the picture with ultra-Whi: colors. Hr Hays the Iri h are also shiftless, improvident and vindictive, and like cbildr -n. are always crying for -something—tUev hardly know what. And as children are an' to be tyrannical when they play the role ol mas er, so, according to Evl Grey, the Par nellites, were they to obtain homs rule.woula immediately begin to make life miserable foi •uch of their fel:ow-countrymen as did no happen to bo more loyal to land-leagueism than to her majesty s government. lhf 0 togenarinn earl's study of Irish character, 1 herefore, leads h m to favor a strong government that will pronptly punish acts o: insubordination and outrage and adminis e Irish affairs in the interest of the Uniteo -Kingdom. There is no dou!Dt that this view meets the approval of the great mt jority o! Englishmen. Euskin did no; help the -ri t ,'au»e any by appealing for sonsihingcon genial to the personal characteristics of th people. The English people are pr.'t .y wel lis. osed to grant what they think is fair o general principles, but there is no conceal lug the fact that they do not admire tht •Irish, and they would not be' as liberal to them on personal grounds as on considerations appealing to their sen e of fair p'.av for friend or foe. Another evidence of the •endency to personalities is the attac upin Parnell by E irl C Dwper in The Times. Earl Cowper plo nly intimate that Pameil's personal ambition and interests are at the bottom of tho Irish trouble; that but for them there need b3 no difficulty in coming to a satisfactory understanding with the majority of the Irish leaders, and that Parnel.'s ascendancy is therefor# ser.ously detrimental to the best interests of Ireland Earl Cowper, who was lord lieutenant ol Ireland some years ago and ought to know something about the paople, says that Parnell and his adherents only want home rule because they would then be the rulers. As far as the mass of the people are concerned, they are ohiefly interested in the land question, and their great grievance it excessive rent If this were made the foremoat matter in the Irish agita-Ion , a settlement could certainly be arrived at. In making this assertion, it seems more than pmbuble thot Earl Cowper is speaking in accordance with the views of his friend Mr. Gladstone, and it is believed by some that Itis tetter is really a hint on behalf of Mr Gladstone to the Irish leaders, that if they H ill desert Parnell and his horn1 rule demands, they can get a|l the want from the. .Jjiborais iu thtt way of concessions on th ; 1 ind question.

Massillon, 0., Jan. 7.—The preliminary •tons were taken here in an action under a statu, e of tlie st-ie framed in accordance with ih-D pro v.- jns of the civil rights bill, which, so fan as known, is the ttr.it niit ji ought in Ohio under the law, and which •vi 11 probably result in testing the constitutionality of the act. Tiie defendant la John Welds, the leadiug colored barber of this :ity, and he was arraigned before Justice ('r .ntz lor refusing to cut the hair of Albert jrant. a young man oi his own race. Two weeks ago the detendant moved into an elegant new shop in tne Co-irad house, and :ho e of his own color whom he bad formerly shaved were made to understand that ae did not desire their patr jnage any longer, earing that their presenoe would drive away liis profitable white customers. This itep led to the arraying of almost the entire colored population against him, and the action is an outgrowtn of the bitter feeling engendered. No defense was entered upon and the justice sent the case to the probate court Fields intends to test ike validity of the law thoroughly. Hidden away in a corner of a Jersey Ci'y p- per for nearly thirty days, as require I by New Jersey law, liitle advertisements have been found notiflving the people that application will be made to the legislature for the repeal of these very laws. Taking the view i hat this legislation would be for the especial benefit of New Vork Central, then it reveals itself to the people in this guise: The laws repealed New York Central couid merge with West Shore and the Term inn' company, doinz so without laying the plan for consolidation before the leg alature, sti ' hold ths taxation contract from the state pay only one-half of one per cent, taxes to the commonwealth, and be absolutely free from local tax ttion. Should the laws stand, then if there is a merger between New York Central, West Shore and the terminal companies. ijis plan of consolidation most be laid before the legislature and its consent secured. But of much more interest is the tact that the taxation contract would have to be surrendered, the property would then be liable to taxation by the state as individual property is assessed, and the local au horities could come in with their bill at taxes, based exactly on the same plan. A DOCTOR DEMENTED. Hotel and Borglctl Instrument* Burned A NIAGARA FLOOD. Turned Hli Hind. The Business of Congress Hindered By Pawn Yak N. Y., Jan. 7,—Dr Henry a Dimock, a M n| physician of Yaes county, and for some years medical adviser at the Crystal Spring* sanlta iu n. who has shown symptoms of insanity since the burning of the hotel at Crys al Springs, has ba oonw a raring maniac anil been taCe:i to the Wil'ard asylum. When the hotel was burned on Dec. 90 he Was at his father's h .me in Ffcelpa, Ontario county. By the Are the doctor lost all his furniture and surgical instruments. The telegram to him telling of the fire made him frantic. Ia a few days he left his father's aad began a wild search about the oountry, saying he mast find the man who set the hiatal on fir*. Private Claims. Washington, Jan. 7.—A New York representative Bald as the hous?, nnifer the rail of State-, was pouring a Niagara flood of bills Into the honpers: "There ought to a great bia in front of the clerk's desk, into which members could drop their bills at any time without taking the t me of the house to have the titles read, and the bottom of the bin ought to be connected by a chute with the sewer beneath the Capitol." The act of 1878 haying failed to raise the ralue of silver, a parsi-itence in our present plan of silver coiuago wou|.l bring us to a silver s andurd. We would be descending to the basis of an eighty-cent dollar, and thus the government of the United States would, in fact, be scaling its own debt This would baa public misfortune, as evideucing a condition of public dishonesty, which, to say the least, was equally reprehensible with individual dishonesty. Many of those who favored the silver coinage were not, in Hr. Gray's opinion, the solid conservative business men, but those of a speculative turn. He desired to see silver in circulation concurrently with gold, but the failure of the best efforts to get it into that condition was sufficient proof that our continued coinage would be of no avail in that direction. Wo were all embarked on the same great voyage—debtor and creditorone fats awaita us all. We should, therefore, honestly endeavor to adjust our differences. in order that the interest* of alt our people may be honestly and fairly advanced. This wa* Mr. Gray's first speech in the senate, and be was listened to with great attention. At the cloae of his remark; he received the congratulations of several of his aenatorial friends. A change of procedure unquestionably will have to be made if congress is to do any business. Three-fourths of the thousands of bills presented on bill days are private claims. The majority of them ought not to go to congress at all. The question is likely to bo seriously discussed, at no distaut day, whetlier some sort of tribunal ought not to be established which can pass upon sucli claims, letting only such measures come to congress as are worthy of its consideration. The j: reat mass of matter presented to congress now comes from cranks and jobb?rs. Their claims and schemes have just as much time accorded to them as honest meusures of national importance. The other day he stole a hone and buggy at Mr. Benson Smith at Crystal, drove, furiously oyer bad roads thirteen m las to this place, jumped out of the buggy at the Benham bouse and let the horse go.

He is 63 years old, and has been one of the most honorable and highly esteemed physicians la this ridaity.

We had sent men here who irritated and persecuted the people, it was by our persecution that we had kept polygamy alive. Religious enthusiasm had done much for civilization, but we could not forget that two-thirds of the people of the w .rld to day believed in polygamy. Great Britain had never put h inds on the polygamists within its dominions. The Mormons had their faults, but he had seen Bait Lake City when not a grog shop, a gambling deu or a house of prostitution could be found within its limits It could not be expected that men that had marr.ed w ves thirty years ago would pu them aside now as so many prostitutes and dcclare their children bastards. The bill uuder consideration, Mr. Teller looked on as full of blood. It was too severe. We should treat the great evil existing in Utah rather with a velvety hand. Men who did not believe in polygamy, he said, had by the severity of our government been driven into a condition of oppression to the policy of the people of the United States.
