A wibk or so ago we published a paragraph stating that a son of Judge Swayne was to marry the daughter of one of the other Supreme Court Judges about Christmas. Saturday morning this reached our telegraph columns after mak ing the rounds with the amendment that ' Ocnml Water Swevne would," etc. If Mrs. Wager Swayne heart that her hut band ia about to marry again in that manner there will be a disturbance in that family, nd we wouldn't stand in Wager's boots for a trifle. 1 Thi fight on the currency question has been transferred from the Ohio canvass to ' the very bosom of the Democratic party, in Washington. If the party can suc ceed in weathering this storm, it will be by the moat strenuous struggle to bring in soma other distracting matter for a diversion. Already various things have han auggetted for this purpose, chief among which is the appointment of in numerable committees of Investigation, to smell through every bureau and de- nartment for electioneering matter r against the party in power. We do not know that the public is likely to suffer from any sort of invtetigatioa, further than it must suffer ia the men matter of aeglect by Congrats of its more legitimate duties in the way of important legislation. There hat Dot bean a time la our history when more careful and more utterly noa-partiaaa legislation was required than bow. It would be a good thing if Congress oould resolve itaalf into a financial chamber, and determine" a policy upon strict bosi- s principles wholly. But this ia too much to expect of any political body, perhaps. We can only wait ana as how little of this eort of thing can be accomplished, and how much dented to bun combe, wireworking, logrolling, and in triguing for control of the party and the Presidential nomination. A UNRU for the Chicago Tribune haa made a very sensational article out of an alleged escaped inmate of the Jefferson (111.) County Asylum for the Insane. The informant aaserta that he was not insane, but was taken there by order of the County Court while insensible from the effects of a fit. He telle a vivid story of outrages, but it teams to ua that the story don't hang together well. He asserts that he made several attempts to escape, knowing they bad bo right to detain him ; that he was brutally punished for the at tempts; and in his story, while attempt ing to snow mat ininga are aiwaya "slicked up" when inspectors or visitors are expected, he aaserta that I was kept miserably clothed, but when one day my brother-in-law came to see me, theynxea me up nice, out as toon as he left they made me put on the old, dirty rags again. The question that bothers us is If he was not crazy and was illegally detained, why did n't he have bis brother-in-law take him out in the regular way instead of wasting his time and endangering his bones by attempts to escape through four- story windows, down the spouting T We very much fear the Tribune s reporter has "been deceived and sucked in." A foul deed has been committed. The Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer took the Rag Baby to Washington. The Baby was sick, and it required the very tender- eat care. The maternal fount was dry, and something temporary had to be done. The Editor of the Enquirer, carrying the Baby in his arms, and appealing to the Democratic caucus for a little pap to sus tain Its life, was a figure to mske angels wesp. He was a mother to the Babe. He did for it all that could be done by a mother of the male sex. He had a right to expect that the heart of the Caucus would be touohed by the destitute and helpless, aondiliuo, of the child.. ..Yet, "indigent and inebriated Virginia gen tlemen" took away its pap. The infant would have died, after this, anyhow; but this was not sufficient. The poor little .ink child was taken torn from the frantic bosom of the Editor of the En quirer, and murdered before his very eyes. The caucus came down Kerrchug on its little stomach, and jumped up and down on it till there was no more life in it than a bursted toy balloon. And the Editor of the Enquirer rent his clothes- rent them even to the most intimate of his bodily linen and put the asues of de- apairon hit head. He ia now a howling maniac, as any body may tell by reading his letters to the Enquirer. convention af Olslet flattie Breeder. To the Editor of th.

Senator Logan ia still quite Ul in Chi cago, and altaMfk,iaipfsine;alowly, will not proDaniy Be Here until alter tne Holidays. His disease haa passed from his head into his limbs, and haa asanmed the form of inflammatory rheumatism. The procession of strangers, fifteen hun dred strong, marching up the avenue yes terday, needed ny a Hand or music, was, quite naturally, supposed to be another batch of Virgiaiana on their way to the Capitol to take possession of the Hons! offices. It proved, however, to be an excursion party from Pennsylvania, The statement has been made that since Mr. McMillan has withdrawn from the Louisiana Senatorial contest the chances of Mr. Pinchbeck have greatly improved. Mr. McMillan haa virtually been out of the contest jver since the recognition of the Kellogg government, and ainos such recognition haa never had the ghost of a chance of securing a seat in the senate. The question of Mr. Pinchbeck's admission, however, haa no direct refer ence to the recognition of the Kellogg government, but has to the status of the Legislature by which he waa elected. Mr. uarpenter, Mr. Hidmunds, Air. mns-tiancy and other Republicans, opposed Mr. Pinchback's admission solely on the ground of the illegality of the Legisla ture. It is not likely therefore that the formal withdrawal of Mr. McMUlan will affect Mr. Finchback'a chancet in the slightest degree. Chronicle.l Speaker Kerr is in a quandary where to get the Democratic material for the Mili tary committee, owing to the scarcity or Democrats in the Mouse who served on the Union side during the war. He will probably have to fall back on gentlemen who acquired their knowledge of military affairs In fighting Uncle Sam. Labor aavlna; Maebliierr. The London Enuineer tells a strange storv of the nmudices of Mulish work men against labor-saving machinery, it says that there are many manufacturers who have the machinery, but cannot use it, and this machinery remains unproductive and unused, not because of defects or for want of knowledge of how to make it work, but because or the opposition ol tpe workers themselves to its use. One of the manufacturers referred to by the Engineer has idle machinery worth $16,000, and another machinery worth $50,000, hich they are afraid to operate lor lear their manufactories should be burned down by hostile workmen. Half a century ago such feelings and aentiments as give rise to hostility against labor-saving machinery were quite common, but the great majority of working men in this country at least have learned that the in ventor Is not their enemy, ana mat, not withstanding all his ingenuity and Inven tions, he cannot yet keep pace with the growing demands of civilized communities. "Necessity la the mother of invention," and inventions born of anything else lead but languishing lives. Labor-saving machinery, if it meets a real neces sity, multiplies the demands oi men, anu opens up new industries; if it doeB not meet a necessity, it will not be used and in either event it ia not a:i enemy to the working man. Siatlatlee of Mining;. In Great Britain there are 410,000 men employed in the coal mines below ground and 106.000 engaged above ground. The coal mined each year amounts to 128,600,- 000 tons. On an average 1UUU men are killed every year and 4000 wounded. In the last half century 60,000 men have been killed in the mines and some 200,000 were wounded. In the United States 83,000 men are emoloved in minim and 60,000,000 tons of coal mined yearly. In Pennsylvania the death rate exceeds that oi ureal Britain. The death rate in Ohio was also greater last year than that of England, but this year it win De less. The most dangerous mines in the United States are in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, one man being killed there for ever? 35.000 tons mined. One man is killed in England for every l3B,uuu tons mined, one in Pennsylvania for every 88,000 tons, and one in Ohio for every 133,000 tons. This destruction of human life oueht alwavs to be considered when making complainta about dear fuel. No donbt the prices often charged for coal are too dear, but the excess ol cnarges is on the part of those who own the mines, and never on that ot moss who worn them. , Remarkable Soinnnmbnllsm A remarkable case of somnambulism ia rpnnrdert at tireenueio. aiassaunuHeua, It appears that a Mr. Burrows, of the above town, was awakened one night, not long since, by a loud and persistent knnnliinir at his door, and a man s voice entreating him to let him in.

Upon the topic of the determination reached in the Cabinet yealerday to dispense with the services of Mr. Henderaoe, there ia uura-seived expreaaioa of opinion in the high-eat official quart ere. Members of the the Cabinet aay the vigor of tbeeounaelor in pressing to the utmost hit prosecution of offenders receive, nothing but indorat-taeat. The eonetructioa upon the language of certain parts of hit speech in the Avery trial was that it wit personally offensive to the President, and unwarranted by any circumstance arising in the Uriah Thk opinion i. declared to be gea-erel among the Cabinet officers, and Secretary Brittow, who it had been intimated, might Dot be disposed to thoroughly acquiesce in the determination to dispense with Oeoerai Henderson's services, did so at heartily as any ether ember of the Cabinet. When the Attorney General presented at the outset of these trials the name of General Henderson aa special counsel to assist the U. 8. Attorney in the conduct of the esses on behalf of the Government, Judge Pierre-pom was not aware of any differences of a past origin that still remained between tbe President and the ex-Senator, and when, at a later period in the trials, tbe Attorney General interrogated the President aa to why the President had concealed the fact of any hostility existing, the President replied that he hsd but one object in the selection of any parly to represent the Government in the matter, and that was fearless attention to the duties requisite to the office. The Attorney General hat unhesitatingly given his opinion in regard to the dismissal of Henderson from tbe further conduct of the cases, and sayt that Bristow in this, at in other matters, fully concurs with him as to the propriety of the action taken by the Government. Several joint telegrams, signed by Judge Pierrepont and Secretary Bristow, have been recently tent to St, Louis, referring to the pending trials. The subject of the indictment of General Babcock haa had little attention here to-day, in comparison with the change of counsel in St. Louis. It is intimated in official quarters, if the House of Representatives ia disposed to investigate the circumstances attending the trials, that every act on the part of the Government will bear tbe fullest examination, aud an investigation hy Congress would be far from unwelcome. the Craokedaeae of laeHaaapella Itlnireten. Indianapolis, Ind , Dec. 12. The trial of Hill in the United States Court, was continued Saturday, the prosecution in troducing Harry Veatch, Bono! Collector Veatch, of the First District, who testified that on the evening of December 24, he, in company with Hill, visited the Patoka istillery, from which he observed smoke issuing when tbe establishment should not have been in operation. He relieved Lewis and put Hill in charge, whom he also testified to being very active in feret- lng out whisky irregularities and report ing them to headquarters. Harrison Miller, storekeeper at fatoka, testified to having been on duty there in October of 1873, when Hill was present, and had a private conversation with Bingham. Cant. Wortman waa recalled and gave evidence to the active participancy of Hill in exposing whisky irregularities in his jurisdiction. Charles 1'.. Marsh, agent Tor the bvans- il le & Crawfordaville road, related how he had made false entries of whisky shipments for the Binghams, for which he re ceived $600 per month. Hiram IS. nnyder teBtined that he waB storekeeper at Patoka distillery when mil came there, and aa tne eetaDiisnmeni to in a bad condition, he had fears lest the defendant, discovering the situation, should give information to Gen. Veatch. Bingham came to ins reuei, however, ana took Hill in tow with satisfactory results. PhilliD C. Eberwine. gauger at Lvans- ville, testified to having seen Julius Kaufman hand Hill an envelope at the rectifying house of Bingham's which Kaufman afterward aaid contained the defendant's nav. John is. runups, revenue gauger at Patoka, said the Binghams named over a number of Government officers from whom they need have no fear, as they would not peach, and among those mentioned was the defendant, Hill, Witness related the circumstance of Hill having been sent to the bvansville distillery to make an omcial Inspection of tbe prem ises, instead of doing which, however, he reported to lien. Veatch that all was correct. Do not know that Hill ever re ceived any money from the Binghams, but always understood he waB in Willi the ring.

The Nord Deutsche save the Lloyds havt received the follow ing telegram from Bremerhafen: After the eteetner Moeel had embarked her pat-etngert for New York to-day, in the outer port, tbe boiler of tbe tug birnaon, lying opposite, exploded, killing fifty parsons and wounding aaany. The Motel wet to badly damaged that she can't aau to-day, The Motel was t have taken the patten- gen of the wrecked steamer Deuttchland, ol the amt line. It it now certain that the explosion was of a ease of dynamite, belonging to the personal baggige of a passenger. But few details have been received. It ia presumed the actual pastengert suffered little, but that the fatalities were chiefly among those accempsnying passengers. Later Only two of the passengers by the Motel were killed. The steamer suffered no particular damage, on account of her great distance from the explosion. Kiw Yobk, Dec. 11, Oelrichs & Co., agents of the North German Lloyd in this city, received the following dispatch from the company's office in Bremen : "A great explosion haa occurred at Bremerhafen of a case of dynamite, on the quay, belonging to a passenger's baggage. Many lives are lost. Tbe steamer Morel is slightly dsmsged, but we expect to sail her to-morrow. A special dispatch from Bremen says the Mosel waa at the pier, taking on board passengers and their luggage. The pier was crowded, as is usual, by passengers, and porters and stevedores aasisting in the departure of the vessel. Suddenly an explosion occurred, scattering death and terror on all aides. The first reports stated that it was a steam tug which had exploded; but it now appears that in the luggsge of one of the passengers waa a package of dynamite. The baggage was by accident dropped, and the concussion caused the explosion, Tbe lost of life will be very great. Many were terribly injured. The greatest excitement prevails, and assistance has been sent to the scene ol tne disaster. Ihe Mosel waa only slightly injured. Uelricbs at Co agents of the North German Lloyd Line, to which the steam ship Moeel belongs, doubt the truth or the report that those killed by the explosion at Bremerhafen were passengers. There may nave Deen workmen on ibe quay, or a targe numoer oi mends ot Ihe passen gers about to sail on the Mosel. waiting to see them off. In that case, no names of tne dean win be tent to the omce in this citv. Two steamboats are used by the INortbuerman Lloyd Line at tiremer- alen the Lloyd for passengers, and the Simson for luggage. If any of the passengers were injured, they are supposed to have been on the tag which was to con vey them Irom tne quay at Bremerhafen to the tTenmer. A-qnay Is set apart exclusively for passengers' luggsge and it appears that the case ot dyuamite waa about to be shipped as luggage. Ihe passengers of theUeulscbland.who were rescued, could not have been among those who were injured, as they were not taken to Bremen, The Consul had tele graphed that they would take the Mosel when she stopped at Southampton, aud should tbe Mosel sail to-morrow, they will be called for Tuesday next. The company do not allow the shipment of explosive or dangerous materials of any kind on their vessels. Nocarefnl are they n this respect that nothing but linseed nil is permitted to be used in lamps for illuminating the saloons or steamers. Sixtyelabl Pereniia Killed and Tblr- lyBve Wounded. LotJiioN.

The excitement over the Senatorial alecUoa continues every where. Paris ia never slow to catch the aignificanot of political movement, and aow that the Left haa to handsomely beaten the Right, and under scrutiny havt thowo the strength of Republicanism, the teaealioa ie very intense. Notwithstanding the report that bonapartiata had aasitted the Left ia obtaining a vio-tory by electing Senators for life, they will dispute the validity of the Senatorial elections by an expiring Chamber. The majority of tbe Right was really dissolved by defection of Ihe Legitimists.

CONCLUDE TO WITHDRAW. Paris, Dec. 12. Ministers Buffet and Demaux, who both failed twice of an election to the Senate, have written let ter! withdrawing from the contest. CUBA. HAVANA PRES. ON THE PRESIDENT'S ME8-SJAUE.Havana, Dec. 11. The Voce de Cuba, commenting on that part of the President's message which relates to Cuba,Bays: "General Grant's language seems to have been chosen to wound the susceptibilities of the Spaniards. He seems to like playing with fire. He does not know the temperament of Spaniards any more than Napoleon did." Tbe Diario censures the tone of the message, which was published while negotiations were pending between the United Stales and Spain. It praises faintly the President's refusal to acknowledge the Cuban insurgents as belligerents, and says that the part of the message relating to Spain is studiously obscure. Finally, the Diario, at the conclusion of two columns and a half of criticism, says: "We believe General Grant has disgusted the insurgents, and he has wounded Spanish pride ia-.hie aafounded aeeertiona. His entire message iacontrary to the spirit of the American people, who eminently de-Bire peace, and he haa satisfied no one." KNOLAKU. EFFECTS OF PRESIDENT URANT'S MESSAGE. London, Dec. 12. The message of President has been chiefly influential in determining the purposes of tbe Govern ment concerning complications in Cuba. It has outwardly removed existing suspicion that troublt was impending, and it has also relieved American bonds from a pressure and a heaviness that waa felt by those who are engaged in their manipula tion. It may be added, however, that these securities are still leveriBhiy held because of the suggestion of the President concerning the school question, and the opening of new political issues. On the whole the message haa been well received, and especially that portion of it which treats of the finances of the Government, and the possibility that at not distant day the currency ot the country will be reduced to a basis that will correspond with that of other specie paying communities. Goodby All Ronnd. tion to the Courier-Journal from Jefferson county, Ind., reports the escape of a criminal charged with murder under circumstances somewhat similar to those by which Boss Iweed bid farewell to New York.

Discovery of Ibe Mkeletnna of Five Thousand Hainan Beluga. Panama, Dec. 2. The Opinion Na tional, of Lima, Peru, says : "rtepairs to an old Han Andres Hospital being necessarv. one wall was thrown down, when the laborers found the wall was hollow and filled with human remains. The laborers then worked with seal until between four thousand and five thousand skeletons were discovered. San Andres Hospital was built in 1557, under the protection of the Marquis of Can-etedon, Andres Hurtado, and by advice of a Spanish priest named Molina. Since then to the present time it has been employed for charitable and humane purposes for which it was constructed. How the skeletons came where they were found is not known to any one. But the South Pacific Times says that the impression generally prevails that these bones belong to the victims of the Inquisition. They appear from one hundred and fifty to two hundred years old. and from their appear ance lead to the belief that the bodies were thrown into the opening between the walls. All the skeletons appear to have been clothed, and dresses, boots and shoes are found mixed with large quantities of women's hair. A portion of tbe Spanish missal has been found, but nothing of any value." Brick Pemeroy't Ueblt.

One of the best, one of the most admired traits of masculine character is the love of horse and dog, as one of the most admired of a man's accomplishments is his Bkill in the control and training of both animals, Many a lady has added to her charms a conquest by the power and knowledge, rare and beautiful, over the animals mentioned. The horse has shar ed man s glory and historical remem brance, and poeta and historians have given honorable place to many a pet and favorite whose atlection and sagacity have brought comfort and rescue to masters ana keepers in distress. An Illimitable list of such quadruped heroes and dts-tinaue companions of heroes could be adduced, with a volume of pertinent anecdotes. Homer's heroes and dwellers in Olympus had and kept with generous care their strong and "white-footed" steeds. On ambrosia the gods fed their fire-breathing chargers, and, according to Euripides, they must have been amphibious. The breed of horses to loved by the Arabs and so valued by all the world musthave had some almost heroically strange origin. Their intelligence, their endurance and fidelity give their symmetrical beauty a most unequalled charm. The chronicled fire of the horse of Alexsnder, Bucephalus, and the humorously recorded fierceness of Don Quixote's raw-boned Rosinante, have made these generic names for all time it aeemes. The Arabs give to their steeds names suggested by their color. Some onestates that there are nearly twentyfour different colore and shades of colora of tiie horse. We read of a green horse, which the Em peror Severus took from the Partbians, among spoils of war, and such a horse was seen in the Duke of Parma's stables, whose name was Emperanga on account of its green color. It is related that the Duke of Sullv bought, at a horse market. for forty crownB, a peach-colored roan, of appearance not the least promising for the power afterward developed, and of qualities so superior that Maximilian sold him to the Tidame De Cbartres for six hundred crowns. Those most experi enced in such matters say that bright chestnut is the color most desirable in a hone, at indicating tht moat strength and endurance. Such was tht color of tht famous horse Copenhagen, which to often bore hit matter, tha great Duka of Wellington, at a twtrer a tore speed over battlefields. He waa named Copenhagen because hit natal day waa identical with tha day of the expedition against Copenhagen, and he died of old age at Sirathheld, where he had paaaed hit last ten years in equine otium eum dig. A salute waa fired over hit grave, and tht Duchess waa accustomed to wear ia a bracelet a lock of this horse's hair.
