The irentleman who wants to ba at tached to the Howgate expedition to the Arctic regions is not, as some nave naBtuy mnnnaed. the son of the pirate SemmeB, but of the far more innocent enthusiast who devised the flymmes or the Symmee Hole-Theory. He maintained that there was an opening near the North Pole, din? tn a warmer climate, wnere anl mala went on the approach of winter, and from which they returned in the spring fat and comfortable looking. Ihe pres ent Mr. Americns Symmes is a full be liever in this theory, and he wants the nrlvilsee of verifying it by joining Cap tain Howgate's party. If he can make himself useful, bo as" not to encumber a mall force where every man ought to count for something, we hope he will be nil weH to bo. As to the theory con cerned, that will take care of itself, for if ... j j, - a cavern ot tne supposed uimensions is annrosahed. there will be no difficulty about discovering it by the dullest of sail ors, nor will Captain Mowgate do Denied-hand in making the most of such an as tonishing revelation. Explosive Floor. Pittsburg Commercial Gizette. The exDlosive qualities of flour, in cer tain conditions, haB long been known; but the terrifio disaster at Minneapolis is the first fatal illustration of the fact. The new system of grinding wheat into flour intensities the danger, and the large mills, where high ground flour is made, are equal to powder factories in explosive danger. It develops a subject that ought to receive legislative attention, as the floor so produced is of inferior value, and its manufacture la extremely dangerous. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OBIO STATS JOVBNAl WASHINGTON. THE TARIFF AND ADJOURNMENT, Washington, May 5. Owing to the forwardness of the Ueneral Apnropna- tion bills it is thought by a number of members of oongress that an adjournment sine die can take place toward the last of June. They do not suppose that the discussion of the Tariff bill will occupy more than a week, and say that time will be afforded for the Pacific Railroad bills and other prominent public measures. BirenuouB efforts will be made Ibis week to either lay the Tariff bill on the table or postpone it till next session, which result would be equivalent to its defeat. Representative Wood, however, is atill sanguine that it will become a law at the present session. IMPROBABILITY OP THE PROPOSED IN- VEhTIUATION OF ELECTORAL FRAUDS. There seems to be some uncertainty as to whether a movement will be made tomorrow or Tuesday in reference to the alleged Florida frauds. .Representative Springer is mentioned b authority for the statement that a resolution to accompany the report on .Blair's Maryland resolutions reopening the Presidential question has been prepared by the committee on Judiciary. He has not seen the resolution, but presumes it will be similar to Blair's resolution, calling on Congress to order an investigation of alleged frauds in FloiiJa and Louisi ana and authorizing the appointment of a committee to eend lor peraonB and pipers. It la not thought such investigation, it or dered, would occupy muoh time, as the Judiciary committee during a former Congress thoroughly examined the sub ject of the Presidential canvass in Louis iana and Florida, The most important addition to the facts ascertained by that committee would be the depositions of McLin and Dennja, together with other authenticated papers in that connection which it is claimed caa readily be produced and are the first admission of fraud by the parties direotly concerned in perpetrating them. PRESIDENT HAYES WILL NOT BE DISTURBED,Few, if any, of the Democrats anticipate that Congress will take any action disturbing the official position of President Hayes, and many of them desire to go no further than to place on record proofs or lraud that may Da prouucea do-fore any committee that may be authorized to receive them. It can be said, however, that no line of conduct has yet been agreed upon relative to the su eject aoove mentioned, although there is much speculation concerning it. PROSPECTS OP THE TAOIPIO RAILWAY BILLS. Friends of the Pacifio railway say that the bill recently introduced by senator Johnson, a compromise between their company and tho Southern Pacific, is in o sense iu their interest, iney ciaim Senator Johnson as a friend of their measure, and are sanguine of passing their bill reported by the i-scino .runway committee.MOTION THAT WILL NEVER PREVAIL, It is rumored to night that should the House determine to order an investiga tion of the Florida frauds, a motion will be made to refer the subic-ct to the com' mittee on Electious, which already has before it much testimony concerning the contested oase of iJinlcy, Uemoorat, against Bisbee, Republicin, sitting mem ber from tho District of Florida.

Xhe race began at 4 a.m., and the 305 miles were not finished until 10 p.m., causing Peralto, who was still in fair riding trim, to lose the race. There was a large attendance of spectators. A special from Omaha, Neb., 4th, Bays: Nightly robberies for three weeks past. and the presence in the city of an unusual number of tramps, necessitated action of our citizens. A committed of safety, oth erwise a Vigilance committee, was organ ized, and to-night loU men, thoroughly organized, and actiog under a well devised plan, Bearchcd tho city thoroughly, commencing at ten o'clock. The search will be continued until morning. It is not known what disposal will be made of those captured. Legal measures will be adhered to until they fail, when desperate remedies will be applied, The committee will continue to act nightly until the tramp nuisance ib abated." A special from Washington to the Com mercial, yesterday, eayB that David Dudley Field, Tilden'a lieutenant, has been showing his hand, and it is expected that somebody will be induced to oner, to-day, resolution calling lor an investigation of Southern election matters, If so, there will be a lively time in the Houbc be cause if investigation is to be begun at all, a demand win fe made that the in quiry be extended toother localities than Florida and Louisiana. Aa a rule, how ever, Democrats shrink from the respon sibility 01 opening up this matter, lest they may incur the displeasure of tbe great majority 01 tne people ot tbe coun try, who desire comparative rest from po lineal excitement on these questions which are so almost universally regarded as hnally Battled. A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial suys that tbe developments ,1 .ii:.. - 0L1 111 iuv vjmcBicu Kicuuuu uaae ui x-iiuey v. liisriee baa had not a little to do with the Budden disinclination of the Democrats to investigate the alleged Florida fraude, It is proven that two hundred and nine teen foreigners voted the Democratic ticket in the Second district without showing their naturalization papers, if they had any, as required Dy law. Mr. uieoee has their names, the placeB at which they voted, and the fact that they were not entitled to vote, and has established this by proof so clear that the contestant has not attempted to gainsay it, He has also established the fact that twentythree Democratic votes were cast in the district by convicts and ex-convicts, who were in famous and not entitled to vote. Indeed, he has made out so strong a case that the Democrats dare not take it up, as it will destroy their fraud cry aa to Florida. Tbe developments in this case settle the question that Jitayes carried the stale and the more the Democrats look into it the less comfort they find. Their cry of lraud at Archer precinct No. 2, is met by rJisDee, who brings up sou Republicans, who swear that they voted the straight Republican ticket at tbat box. Ohio. The town of Maredon was partially de stroyed by fire on Thursday last. Loss $10,000; insurance $1200. The fire was the result of carelessness of men engaged in a stave factory.

The Licking County Democratic Executive committee met at Newark Saturday, and fixed Saturday, May 25, as the day of holding the annual Convention. The principal interest is centered in the race lor the omce ot Bherin, tor wnicn office there are eight aspirants. Fowle, the alleged seducer of Annie Altrock. of Delaware, could not be found Saturday, by the Marshal of that place, who bad a warrant for him on the charge of bastardy. There was a rumor that the death of Hen ry Altrock cn iburaday night wsb caused by poison administered by himself, but the physicians in attendance pronounce the report to be entirely without foundation. His death was caused by nervous excitement and loss of sleep over the disgrace of his daughter. Amos Inskeep, the murderer of Rockwell, Deputy Sheriff of Logan county, was arrested in Plain Cily Saturday. He called at Dr. W. I. Ballinger's at a late hour Friday night, remained there until morning, and then went to Dailey's livery stable for a conveyance to take him to Columbus. While there, Hon. R C. Mo-Cloud and ex-Marshal Sherwood, whom Dr. Ballinger had told of Inskeep's arrival, ran in and jumped on him, crush ing him to the floor. He made no resistance; he saw he was overpowered, and gave up. They found two revolvers load ed, also the breech-loading gun he Killed Rockwell with. Tbelgun he left with Dr. Ballinger. Inskeep was taken to Belle-fontaine Saturday evening and placed in jail. He seemed to be much exhausted and excited, and expressed wishes not to be taken to Bellefnntaine,ae he would be hanged by the mob. ForelfeTU. General Grant, wife and son, left Milan Saturday evening, for Turin. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that considerable importance is attached in tbat city to the appointment ol Prince Labanoff as Russian Ambassador to the Porte. The choice is agreeable to the. Porte, on account of the favorable im-i preesion be created during bis former tenure of office as a Russian Ambassador in the Crimean war. The Prince is understood to favor an amicible arrangement of existing differences,, and is regarded as a man of moderato views. The London Times, commenting on the appearance iu United States waters of the steamship Cimbria, with Russian officers and men on board, says : There are good reasons why we should regard proceedings of this kind without alarm. The chief one is that the United Slates Government, which has always prided itself on fulfill ing its neutral duties, has been placed under special obligations In this respect by the Washington treaty. By virtue of its rules we were condemned to pay a fine of three million pounds for depredations committed by the Alabama and her consorts, and the United States, by accepting that line, have further nled-ed themselves to observation their own part the new rules of the treaty. It was an unwelcome penalty to us, at the time, but we have the advantage of additional protection. We may, in fact, be confident that the United States will act honoraoiy up to its oDiiga-tions in this respect, and the Russians will consequently bad it dimcult to ex ecute the enterprise they appear to have planned. London dispatches intimate that notwithstanding the hopeful news of Russian concessions, announced from Vienna and intimated from St. Petersburg, it can not be said there is any positive change in the principle of the questions in dispute, It- is said a conciliatory disposition has prevailed in the councils of the St. Petersburg Government, but it is asked what does Russia consider at this moment to be a peaceful concession, or conciliatory proposal. The fresh attempt to reach an understanding is described as getting over difficulties of form by mak ing a far reaching concession on me merits of the question; but the misfortune seems to be that while the Russians consider it a Question of principle. England demands the placing ot the treaty ot Han SteUno baiore the congress ior unre served discussion, Russia, it is said, re fuses to eiva way on that looint, In Ber lin, as in London, the subject is treated with skepticism as long as it is known that Russia refuses to yield cn the chief pointnd that England inaintairs her de mand, Communist, ami oniniiinlstlc Pol itic..

Philadelphia Ledger. A month or more ago a report was started that extensive purchases of horses were making at Louisville. Chicago, St. Louis, Troy, and also in northern New York, by agents from England, for war purposes. Ihe reoort waa repeated from day to day, until tbe number of purchases ran into thousands, all of the animate being designed for shipment to Lngland and the fact wab assumed as a sure pre cursor of a war, in which Great Britain was to take a hand. On the announce ment of these reports, an acquaintance, residing in this city, called upon us with a letter from a relative residing on the Canada bolder, engaged in the horse business, making inquiry as to the state ot tne horse market here. Una trader, as he avowed in his letter, was buying thousand or two of horses intended for passenger railway use in Canada, not one of the entire lot being intended for war purposes, rrobsbly not more than s thousand bead in all were purchased, but, the etory being repeated by telegraph simultaneously from various points through which the animals paeBed, the wnoie were separately counted as an ad ditional number, and, in tbe end, aggro gated several thousands. ANOTHER BONANZA. A Vary Rich Vein Discovered In Montana The Largest Gold Brick lu tbe World Taken Out. Helena (Montana) Cor. N. Y. Herald. Tne greatest excitement for years has been produced in mining circles by the discovery of a gold bonanza In Montana. The fame of this rich mine will soon Bpread over the United States and throughout the world if it continues to pro duce as it has done during tbe past month. To ascertain the truth ot the many rumors in circulation about the gold bonan za your correspondent has visited the scene of operations, and finds, after care ful investigation, tbat tbe wonderlul tales told are not much exaggerated. The Pe nobscot discovery is genuine and the richness of the ore really something wonderful.In the summer of 1876 gold bearing rock was first discovered at Penobscot, about sixteen miles distant from this city. The character of the quartz taken out was not such as to warrant tbe belief that the district was very rich in precious metals and the mines created no excitement whatever. In the fall of 1876, Mr. Nathan S. Vestal, an experienced miner, discovered indications of rich ore and quietly bought out the original locators of the Penobscot.. Ihe names of theae men were D. A. Murphey, William L. Rader and Burton Nash, who had sunk several shafts, but found only ore paying small profits. The mine was divided into two discoveries, Hast JNo. i and West No. 2. Mr. Vestal worked some of the ore, but the yield was so Bmall he discon tinued labor during tho winter, but commenced again in tbe Bpring and continued working until August, when he deBired to make a division of the mine with his partner. Captain Sears. The Captain took the Emma mine and an araslra for fatB sharr, Mr. Vestal becoming by this exchange the sole proprietor of the Penobscot. Ho now went to work in earnest on discovery No. 2, taking out ore and crushing it in an arastra. His means were limited, and he could employ but a small force. Tbe ore, however, was very rich and soon gave him some money. The arastra being unable to cruoh all the ore taken uut Mr. Vestal came to Helena and tried to borrow on his mine a few hundred dollars with which to put up a quartz mill. It is a fact he had hard work to raise the money, and it was only by appealing to an old personal friend, Mr. John Whitehead, it was finally obtained. A five stamp mill owned by Mr. Courlwright waa hired and set to work. it was an old rattle-trap ot an attair which bad beou lying idle for years near Helena, and the plates and stamps were very imperfect, experienced miners saying it did not save over forty per cent, of the gold in the rock milled. Mr. Vestal found himself $7000 in debt on the day when he Bet his mill to work. For fourteen days he pounded away, and on the 14th of Febru ary, his birtuday, appeared in Helena, paid every dollar 01 debt ne owed ana deposited $13,000 to his credit in bank. Of course such an event was not long in leaking out, and created some talk on the Btreett; but Vestal said nothing, and quietly returned to bis mine. In a few days Mr. Vestal sent to Helena 646 ounces in gold, worth $10,000, and it was deposited to his credit in bank. The expressman told of the treasure he had brought in and again there was some talk bom tbe Penobscot, but it soon died out and the men in tbe hills worked away, forgotten by the busy cily only Bixteen miles distant from them. Early in March Mr. Vestal appeared in Helena with $20,- 000 iu gold and deposited it in bank. This waa too much for even a mining town to stand, and the wildest excitement ensued, ihe Penobscot was in every body s mouth, and at the hotels, BaloonB and even in families nothing else was talked about. The Hersfield Brothers, Mr. Vestal's bankers, were visited by crowds and the retorts examined carefully. They were bard, yellow and cold, but pure gold, and when pUced ou the scales weighed $43,000. It was enough to excite any one, when it waB remembered all tbiB money had been taken from one little mine in a few days and that there were millions mors of the yellow metal said to bo stow- ei in the earth where the lumps had come Irom, .... Attracted hy the unuaual yield of the mine capitalists soon began to negotiate font, and Mr. irent, agent tor Messrs. Chalmers & Frtzier, of Chicago, offered the magnificent sum of $300,000, Ihe of fer waa accepted and the bonds executed, with a forfeit of S ioOUO. Mr. Vestal ran a level and found the ore extending twen ty feet, with increasing richness. The amount of gold in sight waB estimated at $2110.000, and Mr. Vestal at once paid the (orfeit oi $ outlu, and declined to part with the mine. Cleaning up all tho gold in the mills Mr. Vestal carried it to Helena and deter mined to mould a mammoth gold brick, the largest in the world. Your correspondent saw this brick after it had been cast, and it bore the following legend : MAMMOTH GOLD BRICK 1 he product of VESTAL'S PENOBSCOT MINE, cast for L. II.

After the big brick had been made Mr, Trent again attempted to bond the mine, this time ottering $100,000 for it. Mr. Vestal was not anxious to part with his treasure, but, yielding to the judicious advice of friends, he accepted, and the papers were executed. Mr, William it. True, of Detroit, Michigan, this timo be comes the owner Bbould he. inside of one hundred days, pay tho $400,000. There are forfeits on both sides, and Mr. True is now examining the mine. It is almost certain he will take it, and, as tho gentle man is worth over $3,000,000, his ability to ray for it can not be questioned. Nathan S. Vestal, the man who discovered and still owns tho Penobscot mine, is fortythrce years of age and was born in North Carolina. He had few educational facilities, and, at the age of seventeen, Bet out to seek his lortune, tie drove an ox team across the plains to California, and was five months in making the tourney, He had contracted with Mr. Turner, the owner of the ox train, to serve him one year for $100 and board and clothes. On arriving in California he was offered $80 ner month, but, De it said to his credit, faithfully kept his contract and continued to serve Mr. lurner until his year was up. At eighteen be worked a placer claim, but did not make money. He was a bold miner, took great risks and generally failed. When he had money he spent it liberally, and never found an old com rade in want but he re.ieved his neceesi ties We next find VeBtal on Silvor Creek building arastras and digging mining holes.

Iu his rambles about Helena Vestal met. and I think for a time boarded with, a widow lady. She waa an excellent woman, and tbe widow and Vestal formed a strong attachment for each other. They were engaged to be married more than a year before tbe Penobscot wan discovered, and only poverty prevented Nathan from taking the widow to wile, lie dug away in the hills, and she quietly kept her bosrding house, wailing patiently for her lover to "make a strike." It is said she often encouraged him to persevere In his discoveries, and once when discour-sged and about to give up in despair, she cave him $100. all her little savings. This $400, "the widow's mite," as Vestal calls it, actually iook $io,uvu in gom out ui the Penobscot. When Nathan vestal one morning woke up and found himBelf a rich man he insisted on being married at ones. The widow, with true womanly modeBty, demurred and advised him to think well of what he was doing. She said everybody would say ahe married him for his money, and she did not wish people to think so of ber. Nathan replied, in plain Anglo-Saxon, he did not care a damn what people thought, he was going to have her and right cff. He kept his word and they were married at Helena two days later. AN UNWORTHY SERVANT. Shocking; Crime of a Clergyman in Southeastern Ohio Urn Arrtnm. pllabea tbe Bnla of Ills WlIVs Mlece. Zinosvillo Courier, 4th I The Cambridge correspondent of the Barnesville Eoterprise tells the story of the amours of a clergyman well known by many Zanesville people. The writer says : Rev. W. A. Chalfant, a conspicuous United Brethren olergyman of our suburban neighborhood, who was recently accused of adultery with Mies Moorehead, of Senecaville, a nieca of his own wife, made a public confession of his henious offense. A committee of ministers of his own denomination, with an attorney, accompanied the guilty, conccience-stricken transgressor to the young lady's borne, and made an investigation of his case. The young lady, who is not over-prepossessing or attractive in personal appearance, is about twenty-two years of .age. She produced the most damaging letters written by her seducer, which brought to light tbe fact that he had been in criminal relation with her nearly three years. She had lived at his house for a timo, and after ward when she returned home he was engaged to give her private instructions in grammar. He never got her beyond the conjugation of the verb "love;" but kept her dwelling in the sub junctive mood, present tense, first person, singular; whilst neconnea tne imperative mood, saying: "Be thou loved!" Further revelations show that he had at one time had plane laid to sell his farm and elope with his victim; and everything was accoidingly arranged, isul this game was deadened by his ivilo relusing to sub scribe to the deed. He was fated to re main and feel the criBping and scorching of tbe names bis own sensuous passions had ignited. The disciple of the foul Beecherism taught a false Byntax to his pupil, and he now has the painiui amy oi ponuenug me uorrioie sentences which are its legitimate oit-spring. The issue died within a few days of its birth. A compromise with the voune unfortunate and ber parents was enecled by his paying $Duu to ber, and $40 additional to compensate for the trouble of nursing ber during the illnees, Tbe action ol tho church authorities ib not yet known; but of course he will be silenced and disrobed oi his ministerial garments. Muscular Development that Kills. Philadelphia Ledger. In tbe notices of the last hours of John Morrissey mention is mads of Mb splen did physique resisting the power of disease. With that physique, it might have been added, he possessed whatever may be the advantages of early training as an ath lete and pugilist training which is claim ed by its devotees to develop muscfe.con serve tbe health, add to physical Btrengih, and in many ways improve the powers ot endurance. Yet John Morrissey died at fortysevonl These facts, taken with others of similar nature, must mean something. Morriseey's great physique and training led him, as Heenan's and Hyer'a did. to the grave at a period of life when most other men with fair health, who take good care of themselves, are in the prime of vigor ous manhood and remain so for many years. A single case of the kind would, of course, have but limited significance; but here are three of them all telling the same story, by exhibiting the same course and the same end, According to tbe logic of the muscular school, these men should have lived at loaBt to the average term of men of good physique, but they all died comparatively young. The class of prominent pugilists in this country is composed of very few men; but here are three oi the very magnates of the prize ring in the present generation who died off prematurely. No such proportion of mortality among the hale and strong men of any other calling can be found. Now, what do Buch facts mean? Is it that tbe eeveie training of the pro fessional athlete saps the health of the subiect and kills vitality: oris ltthatsucb training leads men intocourBosof life that bring about the same result Une is a question for the medical profession, and the other for all people, but particularly for colleges and universities addicted to the musoular hypothesis.
