IlAi eipn, April 2.—The superior court is in season here, and a case has just been developed that resembles in some respect* that of the now infamous Kuklux. It appears that a young white man of the name of Blanchard, who lives in the southern part of this county, became enraged at John Rains, a young negro, because Blanchard had been told that the negro had been spreading reports that Blanchard had caused the wife of Rains to leave her husband. Smarting under this indignity, Blanchard took another young whit? man. with him of the name of Hugh Woods to the place where Rains was at work, and told Rains that he must go before a magistrate, and settle the matter by signing what tMy call in the country a "lie bill" This Rato refused to do, alleging that fce had only stated what his wife hod said, and thai, lie did not believe what the said. Blanchard told him that he had lied and be had proved it on him. Rains then reftued to go any further, and Blanchard and Woods got out of the buggy, and tied the hands of Rains behind him. Then Blanchard took his buggy whip, and thrashed Rains from his haad to his heels, giving him about 380 lashes. No permanent injury was inflicted, but Rains was not able to work for two weeks. His body was a perfect network of oats, bruises and scars. SOCIETY DI8CAR03 IT8 MANTLE OF 8ACKCLOTH ANO ASHES. Makm mt th« Hoaw ttdlk* IU Klfli TMTJ'I ITI— O^M'" OR.

Brooklyn, April L—The platform and galleries of the Tabernacle were this morning profusely decorated with flowers. On the previous evening the church Nad been open to prepare the decorations, for which the congregation bad been invited touring flowers. The immense audience room it not large enough to contain the people on ordinary OocaaioiM; itJnust be left to the imagination to suggest the throngs, both inside and outside the church, on this great festal day. The Rev, T. Da Witt Talmage, D. t)., took for hi* text take xil, 88: "If then God so clothe the grass, which ia today in the field, and to-morrow ia oast Into the oven; how much more will he clothe you." He said: The lily is the queen of Bitye flowers. The rose may have disputed her throne in modern times, and won it; but the rose originally had only five petals. It wa» under the long continued and intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into its present beauty. In the Bible train, crania and hyssop and frankincense and myrrh and spikenard and camphire and the rose follow the lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the lily mentioned; only twice the rose. The rose may now have wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in the time of Solomon, in the time of Christ She said tho council had been a success, and had proven that women are ready for concerted action. The letters sent by different countries shows the universal interest felt all over the world In the council. For the first convention, bald forty ysars ago, a day's preparation was sufficient, but for this international council a year's preparation was has been taken. They regret, however, the weakness of their country's naval demonstration and greatly fear that it may prove Inadequate to the end sought It la now believed that the Moors are firmly determined to yield to nothing short of irresistible force, and Americans and Englishmen alike express the hope that England's move in sending the detachment of engineers to Tangier is not intended to interfere in the dispute between the United States and Morocco or the manner of its asttlement It w« generally believed that the strike on the St Paul road would involve the entire system, and would Include all the engineer*, firemen, switchmen and brakemen employed by the company. Bach, however, did no* prove to be the caee, because most of the engineers and firemen at this end of the line remained loyal to the company. Saturday the St. Paul striken appointed a committee to submit 10 Mr. Earling, the local manager, a proposition to the effect that the men would return to work upon the condition that the company decline to aooept "Q" freight pending the settlement of the Burlington strike, or until the Chicago and North western accepted ft. The proposition also provided that all of the strikers be taken back. After a consultation with the local officers Mr. Barling telegraphed to General Manager Roswell Miller, of Milwaukee, for She also contrasted the difference with which the press received the convention of forty years ago, and the pressnt international oouncfl. The result of the latter mnst be of larting effect She contrasted the queen of England's jubilee with this jubilee of the women. The queen did not do a single good thing to oarry down and oonneet bar name with her jubilee, but in this, the women of America's jubilee, the women of the world had brought the best thoughts and efforts of heart and brain. "We have done mnoh to make our country proud of us," said Mm Stanton, "and we ask of her just and equitable laws gwarning and making us equal to man. For the men of the nation, we ask counsel with wise women. In proportion an the circle of women extends itself, she will inspire men with broader views as to national and international questions. We ask yon to celebrate this woman's jehiles by placing in woman's hand the ballot. When a  no care to take part in government, it proves that she has not a ripened mind. Woman is hedged about with old prejudices and sustained in thees prejudices by men at common ssnse. We are sculptors, and our Ufa work is not to build up creeds and oolors, bat to roll off the loads of superstition and set the imprisoned ftngol free." At the conclusion of Mrs. Stanton's address "Auld Lang Syne" was song, and the ssssiqn oVuod.

The general himself has accepted the inevitable, and informed the department that although benefited by his trip srDuth, he does not expect ever again to be able to perform active service. The department being asmred that he prefers retirement to a further extenaion of ciok leave, will comply with hi* request by ordering a retiring board ati once for his examination. The detail ha* bean made up and will be announced as soon as it i* learned what date will be most convenient for (Jen. Terry to appear. Tbe board will meet in Washington. It is under- Mood that Brig. Sen. Schofleld, who is the only officer on the active list except Gen. Sheridan senior to Gen. Terry, is to be president of the board. Gen. Schofleld is now in Washington oovferring with Gen.

Legislation pending before congress is in a condition of general chaos There are all kind* ot special orders on the calendar of tbe house, which have been run over and disregarded in the past, while several stand for ■rthliig in the future.

The want of stability which has of lata years characterized the French ministries is the subject of wide comment. The English government organs almost without exception publish articles deriding the French system of government and the uncertain tenure of French cabinets, with which, they assert, it is folly for any power to treat, because of the almost absolute certainty that before negotiations are fairly under way the ministers entering into consideration of the questions involved will be thrown out of office and soooeeded by man opposed to oon tinning the discussion. K. Floquet Is an advanced Radical, and next to M. Clamenceau is the strongest man in tha new cabinet. It is not expected, however, that the new ministry will stand the onslaught of the Boulanger erase, which is decidedly on the increase. Dattox, O., April a.—The wife of Allen Ujwrt was Grossing the bridge over Lost Greek with a child in a boggy, when a flood washed them away. The woman, by catching on the overhanging branches, kept herself and the child afloat till she struck a tree a quarter of a mile down the stream, which enabled her to throw the ohild on the bank and crawl out herself. Mr. Earling declined to divulge tbe answer returned by Mr. Miller. The company's decision as telegraphed from Milwaukee was given to the committee about 6 o'clock, and at 7:80 a special mats meeting was held to take action. The meeting was a stormy one. The company's ultimatum was rejected and a general row ensued. Tbe switchmen accused the engineers of treachery and cowardice. A passenger engineer made a speech defending himself, and was knocked down and brutally beaten. For a time a free fight was Imminent The more conservative men left the hall In disgust The meeting adjourned at midnight without coming to any oonolusion. The St Paul strike is evidently ended.
