I left Loudon on t?te evening of Thursday, the 1st li.st,
for Valentin bay, sou tb coast of Irelanif, to be present at
ceremony of selecting tbe site lor the British terrnus
of the great cable. TUa aceuuflc corps chosen

fluid, of New irunc, on Deuan m uie Auauuu
Cmiipuny; Mr C. K Varley, assl-taut thctriclun to the
Mm' company; Mr. John Temple, engineer to the TeleC>h
and Maintund uco Company, Mr. 6. Dawson Ward,
superiniendei it in Ireland of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company; Mr. W., T. Ansel I, superintendent engineer
Md inspector of the International Electric Tele
graph Company The Knight of Kerry, a gentleMm
who lius bees one of the strongest advocates and
fupporters of the p riyoct, acoompauied the commission.
Mr J. A. Docket , arliat to Frank Lulie'e Illustrated
fbptr, ami your lorrespondent made up the party. A
portion of the con imiasion were to join tho other on the
Poute. We arrivti 1 In Dublin early on the morning of
the 2d, and crossed tho Irish Channel on the model steamIhip
Connaught. Tho party stopped at the Greeham
Motel to make th e final preparations for the trip. Mr.
field visited tho I ord Lioutonant of Ireland on official
business, the naluj 3 of which did not transpire; but that
functionary assuni 1 bim that he, with other of the
Cernmental otfica rs of Ireland, would be present at the
imeni't wont of 1 aylng the new cable.
The commission 1 larted in the early train on the Great
Western and ?oeth? rn Railroad for Killarney en route for
Malentia. The day was pleasant, and the trip through
Ihe counties of Dublin, Klldarc, Kings, Queens,
Kilkonny, Tippcrt ry, Liuierick, Wuterford and
Dork was highly enjoyable and appreciated. The
scenery on tho rod ie was la many places delightful,
and. accompanying n good mentor who hud travelled in
Ireland, I had pointet I out to mo the residences of some
mt the leading gentler) len and nobility of Ireland, among
wblch wore Ceibridgo Abbey, the residence of H. Gratlan,
the magnificent i eat near Dublin of th? Duke of
Leln ter; Carton; Lye ris, the rosMience of Lord ConBlurry;
I'alinerfston H iuse, seat of the Earl of Mayo;
Moore Abbey, the pro;i erty of the Marquis of Droghcda;
Dawson Grove, the den icsne of the Earl of Dawson; Haltyfln,
the residence a' Sir Charles Coote, Bart., and
there too numerous mention in a newspaper letter.
Some of the places seen were of very ancient date, and
brought vividly to my memory my early reading of the
Ware of the Irish chiefs, with the towering deods of Brian
Boroitume, and still later the Cromwnlliau ware.
The party reached the lathes of Kblarney shortly after
three o clock 1'. M., where dinner, which had been ordered
hy telegraph by Mr. Field, was on the table of the
Railroad Hotel. At the cl ose of the repast carriages wore
waiting at tho door of tha hotel to lake the party direct
to Valentia Island, which w as forty Irish miles distant. Several
of those present had never visited the lakes before,
Bad expressed a desire to tlelay an hour or two to enjoy
the beauties of tho scenery ; but Mr. Field, who was the
acknowledged chiel, placing business before pleasure,
vetoed the suggestion, and the Journey was ordered to be
Besomed at ouce, but with the qualification that when
the delegates had concluded their mission thoy might
return and give the Lakes of Killarney a thorough Inspection.
The vehicle prepared for the Journey was a fourwheeled
jaunting car?a carriage indigenous to Ireland,
and. as I think, the most uncomfortable thing to the
worfd. The excitement of the occasion served to otssl
Cu- many of tlio inconveniences which would otherwise
ve boon experienced. Our route wu on the Cahiralvern
reed. Iu pa.-sdug through the town of Killarney
there were many things that were novel to the v in tor,
nmopg which were the Roman Catholic cathedral, Oortrue
Lodge, Round < antic, tho ruin* of Kiflalee church
and I'allia Castle, and the Round Tower. Part of the
route wium along the lake, the islands in the middle of
which seem- d to be covered with maguiflceot Umber and
gigantic evergreens; but I wan assured the interior of
the Elands arc replete with a variety of scenery. On the
margin of the lake are beautiful glades and lawns, embellished
by thickets of flow-Ting shrubs and evergreens,
among which the arburtus and hullies seem to predominate.
Prominent among the islands referred tg L iflnisfalien,
so beautifully alluded to by the Irish poet
Moore:?
Sweet Irnisfallcn, fare thee well!
May calm and sunshine long be thine;
Bow fair thou art let others tell.
While but to feel how fair be mine, be.
After losing sight of the lakes we came in view of the
beautiful river l.auue, wbicli runs parallel to tho rood,
and s famous for its salmon Ashing. Twenty miles from
Killarney is the pretty little village of Rossberg. The
ether half of the Journey to Valentia was decidedly untntere
ting and blouk, as nothing was to be seen but
barren bills, herds of goats, the mud cabins of the pea antry,
sans chimneys, saw windows, tans chairs, tans
everything of a ci.il I zed character, and peopled only by
bare legged anil half clad men. women and children.
Our party reached Reenard Point, extending into the
harbor of Valentia, at eleven o'clock ut night, tired, Jadi-d
and careworn. Fortunately a ferryboat (a Urge row or
surf boat) was in watting to take us across tho harbor to
the pretty village of KiuglitsloWti (named in honor of ths
Knight of Kerry), a place of seven hundred inhabitants.

Uuemob Alto, April 24, 1M6The
whole ooontry > in am uproar, end military tod
< navel preparation* are the order of the day. On the M
evening of Friday, April 14, rix Paraguayan war steamer* hi
passed down from the Fortress of Iluiualai ai?l into the p(
Parana river, where two Arg'intiae steamers were lying, th
and, withont previous notice, attacked them. The Paraguaynn
steamer Igurey was foremoet, and. In pawing, t?
threw a cablo on board the Argentine war et amer, The In
Twenty-fifth of May, and ordered the men to make fast. PJ
Tho PiraKiwytiw boarded and took t%e Twenty-flfth of u
May, after a band to band fight, In -which ueurly every A1
man oa board The Twenty-fifth of May perished. The J]
Paraguayans then proceeded to the Qualegn ay?another ts
Argentine war steamer, which waa near by, at anchor. tf
undergoing repaint?and Uie floet opening upon her with JJ
musketry, grape and canister, she was soon obliged to tl
surrender. After firing on the city of Corrientes, the '?
Paraguayan fleet took tho captured vessels in tow and ^
proceeded up tbo river. tl
There has been for a ieog tlma a treaty with Paraguay, ft
which was binding at tbo date of this violence, and *]
which required that both Paraguay and the Argentine ol
Republic should give six months notice of intention to do- Bl
clare war. But no notice was given, and it waa even do- d(
ciarcd that " should Paraguay desire to cross Corrientes tl
with an armed force, it would not imply or necessitate {r
war." At the same time a treacherous attack was make
on the navy, and an army was marched into the provinoo a
of Corrientes. *
Tbo news of these events reached Buenoa Ayres at g
about four o'clock P. M. on Sunday, April 15; at flvo li
o'clock P. M. the Cabinet met and at once resolved on Jj
war, and at half-post six o'clock P. M. a proclamation tj
was issued through the city declaring war against Para- g
guay. A crowd gathered in the principal public square t<
and several thousand visited the President, who made a ?
brief and enthusiastic speech. Tho crowd then visited r,
several oilier ministers and consuls and quiotly dispersed. g
Later accounts state that on April 14 the Paraguayan
forces had returned to the front of the city of Corrien- j,
tea, and that live thousand infantry with two thousand yy
Ave hundred disembarked marines had taken possession p(
of the city without opposition. Tlioro was a force of six
thousand militia enrolled and armed, but they offered no
resistance and quietly retreated. Foreseeing the attack,
the Governor, Lagraria, with the civil and military em
fJIVJTOJ*, IUIIMJU VU Aaifvuiauv, nuu mmv J??W> V .MWnaced
and afterwards occupied, the government retired to t'1
San Roque. A proclamation had been issued calling all
citizens of Corrlontes to arms.
So far aa the Paraguayans have taken towns, they re- IP
spect life and property. This is an advance on former hi
times. But In the progress of the army through the St
country they sweep it clean.
Tho declaration of war against the Argentina Confederation
follows the war between Paraguay and Brazil.
President Mitre had allowed the Brazilians to ascend the vi
Parana river with their fleet to invade Paraguay, and ^
had refused to allow the Paraguayans to cross the Argcutine
territory to invade Brazil. This unites the two
countries against Paraguay. Uruguay, being Justly in- ,
debted to Brazil for ita present peac-ful position, has Dl
also Joined in the movement, and called out the National ^
Guurd to make a third national army to act in concert 11
against Paraguay.
The most active preparations have been made by the
three allied governments to send up a combined torce to lf
overpower Paraguay. *'
Brazil has sent up twelve gunboeta with Ove thousand J"
men, and ten other war vessels are In this vicinity with j"
about twelve thousand men. Uruguay la exp cted to Jv
send about eiz thousand men. chiefly cavalry. The p'
Argentine Confederation has called out all Its National tE
Guard, and has alroadv issued marching orders to all the
troops of the line. The most vigorous ?Hurts are being i "
made to promote enrolments, and liberal inducements I P'
are offered to volunteors. I ro
It is reported to-day that Seflor Don Norbierto Riestra | m
is about visiting Europe to effect a national loan; yet the 8?
dailies state tbat Brazil Is to lend the Argentino govern- P'
ment seventy thousand hard dollars monthly to defray
the preparatory expenses. The last news from EuVope Jf
was quJte unfavorable to the prospect of a loan, as Argentine
bonds were lower than Ihey had been for years, w

had fullon from ?15 premium per share to 7>?. The uncertainty
attending the affairs of Uruguay, assaulted as
it *?;?? by a foe wlthm and another still more powerful
Ifithout, had created a feeling of distrust In all South 011
American matters. an
It is a fortunate thing for these countries that the last

the River Plate in friendly alliance. The party In power
in the Argentine republic has gainod an ascendancy in **
every province, and It has also gained its object in the
success of tho rebel General Flores, who is now the un- *]
questioned President of the revolutionized government "
of Uruguay. These events have also drawn both coun- 00
tries closer to Brazil. And as far as I know there Is not *
even a minority in any of them averso to their warlike >?
pole y against Paraguay. It Is a foreign war. It unites
all the citizens, and it gratifies a grudge that years have dJ
matured against a most selfish and isolated country.

the rurroncy has fluctuated very little. Gold has changed JJi

The Saxon Extradition Case.
UNMi. UK A HI NO OP TUB CASK?TUB COMMISSIONER M
DECIDES TO REMAND HIM. "
Bdore United States Commissioner Newton. lu
The application for the extradition of Theodor Seydel, *
accused of having forged a bill of exchange in Chemnitz, b(
b'axuny, wus once more before United States Commissioner
Newton yesterday, and was finally settled, so far
as llat official Is concerned. 8'
Mr. Ditlenhodcr, counsel for the prisoner, stated that M
be he<l no witnesses to produce on behalf of his client, Jand
pi weeded to sum up tho testimony adduced ou tbo al
part of the prosecuting attorney. His princ.pal argu- s|
ments were that tho prisoner could not bo remanded, J'
unless, Hist, It were established that tlie crime of forgery n
had hern committed, second, that tho prisoner had com- J
milled that forgery, and, third, that the ciitnowasof ^
tiiut character which would render its perpetrator iialile n
to apprehension and trial arcordiug to the taws of the a
State of New York. The coaneel read the following extract
from the (extradition treaty, from ' lirightly's Digest .

.the crime, In order to render it; perpetra'or liable to ex-,

as, according to the laws of the place where the fugitive '
or pen ui so eluuysd Ml be found, would JuFtlfy .
his apprehension and commitment for trial If
the crime or otieuce bad there born committed." *
The counsel contended that, according to the p ipers s nt "
from Saxony. demanding the extradition, and also oc- cord
ng to the testimony adduced, there was nothing to ?
show thai the crime of lorgcrjr had been oommltled. The
word used n nearly all the pa|iern wua "cheat," and not "
forgery, and the prisoner was referred to as an "agent" *
and not a? a principal. No person could t*> held on a
Charge of forgery a- an asent, and for those reasons he *
submitted the Commission r would not be justified In re- *

mnsiom r to weigh the rose with more than the usual *
i degree of care in consideration of the fact that the
accused hsd served honorably in the army of the Lnion
I in defence of republican liberties.

one down town, as was his custom, to Sweeny's
del In Chatham street, for the purpose of sleeping
lere. As he was going into tho hotel the prisoner
Idressed him by name, said be knew him, and
entioned one place where he met him a short time
sfore that Ho Ingratiated himself Into the conience
of Mr. McDermott, and while at the door told
m that all the rooms were taken, and suggested that
iey proceed to Crook's Hotel, which proposition was acided
to, at d on arriving at that place Mr. McDermott
ret* his name on the register, and, at the request of the
idoner, hm name was put down as John King. They
omed together, and when Mr. McDermott awoke in the
ornlng, at five o'clock, his money (about $70), jewelry,
ild watch and clothing, were taken away, and the
isoner had left, he having stupefied him with drugs.

>tel,|and saw the prisoner there. Ho positively identld
him and had him arrested on the spot Officer

cceedod in recovering most of the property.
The counsel for dcfnnco sought to prove by two witsees,
named Achilles Warder and John TOiess, that
ey saw Mr. McDermott in company with the accused
the evening of the alleged robbery at Union square,
d that they proceeded defwn town in the Third
enue cars ; that the complainant had a goatee, and that
e night was very fine.
Mr. McDermott was recalled, and positively denied
cry statement made by the boys. He (the complaint)
never saw those boys before, but was informed
>en at the office of the counsel for the prisoner, by a
end of his. that two witnesses would be produced to
ntradlct his utalement. The complexion of the case
as such (hat the Jito'jrdej' ordered the two wttneeaes
r the defendant to be taken into custody.
The jury without hesitating a moment rendered a ytret
of guilty. When the prisoner was arraigned at
ie bar fur sentence, he charged upon Mr. McDermott an
famous offence. Ho was remanded for sentence. In
e meantime the Recorder despatched a messenirer for
r. Rggloston, and had a private interview with hlro.

(Wrorn the ttostnn Port, Juno 1? ]
One af the. must brutal and cold-blooded murders ever "
| oaminit.trd inrthla or any other eommuntty, was brought
to tight yesterday afternoon, the particular* of which, as
we learned thein at a late hour last night, are as fol- *
Iowa:? p
On Monday of last week, about noon, a lad named John ?
9. Joyce, aged twelve years, and his sist-r, Isabella, two
years older, left their homo, corner of Nawlaud and Con- B
oeril streets, In this city, for the purpose of taking a walk. h
Niifht eaine on, and as tney did not return some anxiety ,,
was felt for their safety, and the police were notified of u
their disappearance, and every possible eoarcli was made,
hut without avail. The police of Roxburv wero also informed
of the missing children, and, under direction of 41
City Marshal Morrill, every part of that city, Including c
May's woods, was thoroughly searched without su''ceea d
Advertisements wero inserted In the papers, firing a *
minute description of the last ones, but still nothing wag
hoard or their whoreabouts, and so much time had ex- e
pired since their unaccountable disappearance that It was 0
fesrsl they must have been foully dealt with?a supposition
that proved hut too true. '
Yesterday afternoon, as two gentlemen, merchants of r
this city, our Informant stated, whose names we did not S
learn, were walking in Rnssey's woods, near the Bussey tl
place, so called, in West Roxbnry, they came upon the 0
body of a young girl lying upon her bark on the ground, '
her silk dress nnd other clothes stained with blood. She C
was recognized as the missing child. Information was at
once lodged with the authorities, and Dr. Arnold and Cor- *
oner Allen, of Roxbury, were at once notified and proceeded
to the spot. Upon examination of the body of the a
unfortunate girl It was ascertained that her person had ?
been rudely violated, and that she had been cut or T.
stabbed in sixteen different places in her breast, back, ^
aide and abdomen. One or two of tho stabs were in the ?;
Immediate vicinity of the heart, and the nature of the ?
wounds was such as led to the belief that they were Inflicted
with a lnng-bla.led dirk or sheath knife. p
A further search was at once instituted, and In about
half an hour the body of the lad was found only a few
rods from that of his sister, at the foot of a lit'le hill or
rise of ground. Re was lying on his face, with several T
deep cuts In his back, as though the fatal blows were
dealt while he was endeavoring to ascapo from danger.
From tho appearance of tho spot where the girl was ,
found it would senm that she was making a wreath of
leaves for hor hat when she was attacked, as one partly d
made was found near by. 0
The girl, n? we before- stated, was fourteen years of
age, was pretty, intelligent, and quite large for her age; ?
and was as mature as most girls are at eighteen. ei
There Is not the slightest clue to tho perpetrators of this y
fiendish outrage. The motive of the murder is plain. Tho .
aflb.tr caused groat excitement In West Roxbury, and tho ri
authorities will leave noth ng undone that will lead to tho n
clearing up of this awful mystery. ?

v?nth uiird 11uu ittt'orAfl a rowitrd nf rtv? hiiTirlrari dnllnrc *'
for the apprehension of the murderers, And doubtless a
others will be offered by the city authorities and those of p
West Roxbury. ?
fFrom the Boston Advertisor, June 18.]
Two children, belonging in Boston, on Monday last ?
took a walk to Mny's woods, Roxbtirv, and did not re- '
turn. Thov were Bella Joyce, a beautiful girl of four- J]
teen. And John Joyce, her brother, a bright boy of eleven "
vears, and were of respectable parentage, residing at the *
South End. The feelings of their mother, who returned J1
from a journey on Wednesday, to find her house thus 11
desolate, ran be imagined but not described. The most
vigorous search during last week failed to bring to light "
any clue to the fato of the lost ones, until yesterday after- ?
noon some gentlemen strolling In the woods discovered J
the body of the girl, stabbbed In several places. About u
an hour or more afterwards the dead body of the boy c
was found?some distance from that of his sister? *
also stabbed, undoubtedly by the same murderous hand. "
There were indications of a struggle having taken place r'
between the boy and the would-be murderer of his sister, jj
and the former being overpowered, it is supposed, ran J*
down the hill nnd wan pursued by the flend, who stabbed 11
him from behind. The body of the boy was found face J
downwards, with a horrible gash in his back. fl
This fearful tragedy?almost unprecedented for sicken- JJ
Ing horror in this vicinity?has caused the most intense *}
excitement in the immediate neighborhood. Each per- ?
son considers himself a self appointed detective, and Is *
determined to leave no stone unturned In ferreting out *
the perpetrator of this atrocious crime,'and bringing him *'
and his associates, if any, to justice. At the hour whon *'
our reporter returned no trace had been found of the *
murderer or murderers. ?

HE RENAMING AND RENUMBERING OF THE STREETS.
Some years since a committee was appointed by the
rooklyn Common Council, with authority to rename
nd renumber certain streets. By the consolidation of
HlUamsburg and BuBhwtck with the old city it *u
Mind that a number of streets, in different localities,
ore the same name. There were several streets In the
(astern District known by numeral designations, as
here were also in the Western District. There were
wo or three Wyckoff streets, as many Washington
treets and avenues, two Nassau streets, and so on,
mking a good deal of trouble for persona not thoroughly
osted. The numbers were also in a state of confusion,
ill this was proposed to bo remedied. The original comlittce,
however, did nothing, and a few months since
new committee was authorized to proceed with tho
tork, and ten thousand dollars was appropriated for exirnses.
A superintendent, surveyor and clerks were
ppointed, and, under direction of Mr. John A. Dayton,
he business progressed. The names of a large number
if streets were altered, and tbe entire city was in process
if renumbering. Tho report was submitted to ?ho Hoard
md adopt d, with some unimportant mod ideations,
jist evening, however, the Mayor sent iu a veto, in
vhlch ho sets forth his reasons at length for disapprove
ng the ordinance. The document, which will prove in
ieresting to taxpayers and business men generally, reads
is follows:?

(1k.nti.emkr?1 return to you without ir.y Approval, ?n<i for
Ihe rouaoua herein net forth, the ordinance aa adopted by
pour honorable body changing the names of certain a!r-ets
in this city. In the tlrat place, I am convinced that the
abject ana Interest of the law wnleh empowers the Common
Council lo adopt an ordinance of tho kind, waa to provide
for the changing of sneli name* only na a "re applied to two
or more atreeia?u> avoid duplicates and trlplicatea?and to
number the hour-a accordingly, and not to change our entire
sheet nomein-Istore, as wlilm, caprh-e or fancy might

A petition which I have rer-lved, ami which I herewith
transmit to jtoii signed bj the lending members of the ber of
Una city, alr'migly acta forth the object,?us to the ordinance
In the rf|K>rt laaf referred to. Holding these views I fall to
pereclve rut good and auftlelcnt reason for changing the
name of a street because ita present appellation may not be
deemed euphonious, or hec-uiee It may he an apparent eontlnuatlon
of another ft reel, or of an avenue or afreet, been
uae aoine street or avenue?aa the caao may be?may hare
the aaine name. The designation?atreel or avenue?In auch
cases tv aurely auflleient to distinguish one from the other In
the public, nilud. In the neit place, tho wholesale change
proposed would render necessary an alinoat entire renumbering
of all the bouaee In the city. A atrect might be numbered
properly enough, and yet, a Ita name waa changed on
account of ita being deemed a continuation of another street,
the bouaee would have to be renumbered to accord with the
cbauge. In thia way and in othera Incident to the allerationa
e very heavy eipenac would be entailed upon the city without
any adequate benefit being received in return. The
prevent condition of the city Qnanoea will not warrant any
auch action on our part. Ten thouaand dollara waa appropriated
for tbla won, and that aum waa at the time believed
ample for Ita accomplishment, certainly to the eitent to
which It was deemed necessary. yet I learn that the money
la nearly exhausted, and the work hardly commenced on the
oale on which It baa been Inaugurated. To complete It would
require, aa I am Informed, from $30,1X10 to gAO lUO. I am
free to admit that a few of the change* proposed In the ordl
nnec, and which seem to oome within the scope of the Ideae
iave suggested, meet with my approval. Hut adopted aa a
whole, aa was the ordinance, 1 am not permitted to make
any eeleotton, and am forced either to approve or disapprove
Of the changes In bulk. The large majority being liable to
the objection! I have here set forth, I am therefore compelled
to file with you my disapproval of the ordinauoe. KeSpectfully,
A. M WOOD, Mayor.
