Mt. Yeunon. 111., July 27,—A daring, but
außUccesaful, attempt was made Saturday morn
ing last, at Ashley, to rob the safe of Dr. W. 0.

olutions of a man named Roach, who had been
lot into the arrangement by others named Ram
sey and Obnso. The plan adopted by the
thieves, as divulged by lioaob, waa to have the
Doctor called out of town about dark,
and, upon his return, to stop him and
compel him to give up the keys to the
vault, leaviug Roach to guard him, while
Ramsey and Chase wont back and secured
the plunder. The Doctor, however, had too
much information fur the rascals, and laid a
trap for them. lie had procured for the oc
casion an old key, similar in appearance to the
one used in his safe, but which would not work
worth a cent. This key he surrendered on de
mand, and Ramsey ana Chase started - back to
town, leaving him, as they supposed, securely
guarded by Roach. A party was ready in Ashley
to hag the robbers, and they had boon
in the Doctor's store but a little while
when the alarm was given, Owing to bad
management, Chase aud Ramsey, in the excite
ment and confusion that followed, escaped,
though the latter waa arrested the next mom
jug. Chase, at this writing, is still at largo.

raoiUAILITV OF THE INDICTMENT OF DANA.
Washington, D. 0., July 27.-U Is reported
hero this evening that tho Grand Jury have not

considered the Shepherd-Dma case. The in

TDK NEW LOAN;
.Treasury officials report 'the proceedings in
connection with the bids for the now loan as Re
gressing satisfactorily, and say that within two
or throe days tho result will bo published. They
are disposed to repudiate with considerable
warmth the idea that the plan pursued has
proven in the least satisfactory ; they elaim for it
as great a success as they had anticipated. Tho
refusal to allow tho one-fourth of 1 por cool dis
count or commission is alleged os tho principal
reason why certain Now York parties ore
bo loud In their expressions of disgust
at ■ tho . manner in which tho business
was transacted. It is the impression in Now

for $55,000,000 will bo taken, the bidders con

THE CALL FOR TROOPS IN MISSISSIPPI.
t Thoroiaa pretty well-settled conclusion here
that the appeal of tho Lieutenant-Governor of

and scalawag rulers - in the. South.for,tho past
few years. Private advicoa from disinterested

Memorandum of the British Commission'
ors to Negotiate a Treaty.
Tbo Toronto Qlohe publishes In full tho mem
orandum uubmltlod to the Secretory of Stale bv
Sir Ldward Thornton and tho Hon. Gooreo
Brown, who wore authorized to negotiate and
couolude a Canadian reciprocity treaty with our
Government. They proeent a lone array of fic
urcß, drawn from United States sources, to show
that the traffic between this country and Canada
for the last fifty years has boon lareely to tho
advantage of tho United States, end that es
pecially wore wo benefited by the reciprocity
treaty of 1854, during tbo thirteen yoara of its
existence. They say that under its operations
tho aggregate interchange of commodities be
tween tho -Republic and the Provinces rose from
an annual average of $14,230,753 In tho previous
eight, years, to $83,492,754, gold currency,
tlio flrafc year of Us existence: fro
$42,542,754, gold currency, in tho second
year of ite existence; fro $50,880,770, gold,
In its third year ; and to no loss a sum than
$84,010,055, at war prices, in its thirteenth year.
And that, notwithstanding tho anomalous char
acter of tho circumstances arising from tbo ex
istence of civil war during a considerable portion
of tho treaty’s existence, by which tho Imports
from tho Provinces wore greatly increased in
volume and value, and tbo exports to tho Prov
inces as naturally reduced in quantity, tho bal
ance of trade, during tho existence of the treaty;
was largely in favor of tho United States. In
tho thirteen years of Its operation, they con
tinue, “ tho X’rovlncoa purchased from the 110-
Sublio commodities, according to the United
tatoa returns, to tho valuo of $340,180,254, and
tho Republic purchased from the Provinces
$325,725,520, leaving a gross cash balance in fa
vor of tho United States of $20,454,240.
But tbo balance was In fact much larger
than this. During tho first ton years of
tho treaty, tho transactions between tho
countries showed a oloar balance in favor
of tho United States of $02,013,645. That bal
ance appears from tho United States returns to
have boon reduced, by tho operations of the fol
lowing throe years, to the amount of $20,454 246
but this arose, no doubt, from the inflated
values at which tho importations into the United
States from tho Provinces wore made under tho
treaty during tho War—there being no Customs
duty to necessitate accuracy, and every tempta
tion to overvaluation on tho part of tho importer.
According to the official returns of tho several
British Provinces (which are accurately kept)
tho Provinces purchased from tho Republic dur
ing tho thirteen years in question commodities
to tho aggregate value of $303,188,088, gold val
uation, and tho Republic purchased from the
Provinces $207,012,131, in same valuation, leav
ing as tbo sum total of tho results of the treaty
of 1854 an aggregate international traffic of
$630,800,219, and a gold balance in favor of the
Republic of $95,675°057.” ;
The fact is also adduced that tho transporta
tion traffic sent te and brought from forelira
countries by tho Provinces, in bond, over the
railways and canals, and in the ocean ships and
steamers trading from United States ports, rose
under the operation of tbo treaty' to an impor
tance secondary only to the traffic in domestic
productions; and it is also noted that, by virtue
of that treaty, tho Canadian canals and the nav
igation of tbo St. Lawrence were thrown open to
the shipe and commerce of the United States,
on precisely tho same footing as to thoso or mo
Canadian people, who bad spent vast sums in
their construction. As tho orowniug concession
enjoyed by us under it, we are reminded that tho
free use of the priceless coast fisheries of Brit
ish North America was granted ns.
Coming, thou, to tho ropoal of tho treaty in
1860, “on tho ground that the advantages from
it wore all on tho side of tho United States,” tho
Commissioners enumerate the results on tho
other side of tho line, which are soon in the
successful efforts of Canada to open now mar
kets, tbo construction of tho Intercolonial Rail
road, tho enlargement of the canals, tho Im-
Srovomentof the navigation of’ the lakes and
ivor St. Lawrence, the construction of the Bay
Vorto (Janol to connect the waters of the Bay of
Puudy and tho St. Lawrence, the subsidizing of
ocean and nvor steamship linos, and the pro
motion of gieat ship-building and fishery in
terests. Wo are told, further, that “tho
traffic between the United States and the
Provinces at once foil from an average
during tbo three years before the repeal
(according to American official statistics) of near
ly $75,000,000 per annum, to on average of $57,-
000,000 par annum during tbo first throe ye&ra
following ropoal: tho Act of Confederation, too,
removed from tho category of foreign commerce
to that of home consumption tho large inter
changes of commodities between tbo several flec
tions of tbo Dominion: and the aggregate for
eign commerce of the Provinces consequently
foil in tho first year after tho repeal of tbo treaty
to $139,262,615 from $160,409,455 In the previous
year. Tho trade of the Dominion, however,
speedily recovered from the blow, and the vol
ume of its foreign commerce gradually increased
until, in tbo seventh year from the repeal of tho
treaty, it reached the great sum (for a people of
4,000,000) of $235,301,203—being $75,000,000
higher than it had ever reached in any year of
thotroaty’s existence.”
Moreover, our trade with Canada fell off large
ly after the repeal, the proportion of the foroign
commerce of Canada transacted with the United
States falling from 52>£ por cont in 1860 to 42
por cent in 1607; in 1808, to 41 per oent; m 1800.
to 40 per cent; in 1870, to 42 por cont; in 1871,
to 40 por cent; in 1873. to SOpor cent; and in
1873, to 35 por cont. The average proportion of
tho commerce of the Provinces hie been since
tho repeal but per oout, agaluvt nearly 60
por cant in the last five years of the treaty. Tho
changed character of the traffic is also aliudod
to, as well os the foot that Canadians aro now
large exporters of Western products.
Why, in view of thoso foots, Canada bow
wishes to renow. tlio treaty Is briefly told. The
population of tbo United States, it is sold, "is
50.000. and that of the Dominion is but
4.000. Tbe boundary between them la for
the most part a surveyor's line, often unknown
even to those who live beside it, and it is of tbo
utmost importance to Canada that common in
terests and mutual good will should exist be
tween tbe two countries. And what so conducive
to this end ns commercial intercourse generously
carried on and mutually profitable ? Tbe people
of Canada are uot Ignorant that a market near
at hand la bettor than a distant one, and, good
as tbelr present markets are, they would gladly
have tbe old one in addition. They comprehend
tbo barrier that custom-house restrictions
throw in tbo way ovon of existbig traffic, and
tboy seek to have thoso withdrawn. They
aro proud of tbelr own St. Lawrence route,
and intend to Improve it to tbe uttermost for
the benefit of tbe great West aud tbelr own 5 but
would gladly use tbe ocean ports and other chan
nels of commerce of tbe Itepublio, when freights
aud fores and friendly reciprocity drow tbom in
that direction. And very groat as have been the
advantages always accruing to tbo United States
from reciprocity, tbo Canadians can find only
cause of hearty rejoicing at that, so long as they
themselves continue to enjoy that moderate de-
Ereo of prosperity with which Providence baa
leased Chora. There is no mystery, no arriere
nonsee, in their dosire that the Itepublio should
be placed on tbe moat kindly and unfettered and
mutually advantageous basis consistent with
their respective existing obligations, aud with
that connection with Great Britain which tbo
Dominion so happily enjoys."
In conclusion, tbo Commissioners offer sug
gestions os followsi

of twenty-one yearn, to Inspire confidence among hind

FIGHT BETWEEN MAN AND BOG.
A Seen* In tuo nincic Country*
The Loudon Daily Telegraph pivea tho fol
lowing account of a prize-fight between a dwarf
knotra as “Brummy” and a bull-dog named
Physio, in a low Bporting don iu Hamoy, En
gland. Oommont la unnecessary: 1
“The dwarf, however, was not to bo atonnod
ana defeated In all a moment. Onco tho gbaatly
fight began there was adiro fosomation in it.aud
I now noted the combat closely. The man woa
on all fours when the words ‘lot go’ wore
altered, and, making accurate allowance
fo * too length of tho dog’s chain, ho
arched bis back catwise bo os juatto escape its
fangs, and fetched It at a blow on the crown of
ita bead that brought it aimoot «• u.» huuoa,
The dog’s recovery.: hnw»ror, was instanta
neous, and before the dwarf could draw back
Phyaio mads a second dart forward, and
this Umo its tooth grazed the bipod’s arm,
causing a.slight red trickling. lie grinned
scornfully and sucked tho place, but there was
tremendous excitement among.the bull-dog’s
backers, who clapped their bauds with delight,
rejoicing in tho honor of first blood. The
hairy dwarf was still, smiling, however, and
while Dau’l hold hla dog, preparatory to lotting
It go for ‘Hound 2,* he was actually pro
voking it as much as he could,‘biasing’ at it
end.presenting towards it the bleeding arm.
The animal, flushed possibly with bis first suc
cess. made for Its opponent in a sudden loop, but
tho dwarf leaped forward too and smote the bull
dog, such a tremendous blow under tho oar as to
roll it completely over, evidently bewildering it
for a moment and causing it to blood freely, to
the frantic joy of the friends of tho man-beast.
Bui they in turn wore made to look serious, for
with astonishing energy Physio turned about,
and with a daeh was again at the dwarf, and this
time contrived to fix ita teeth in one of his hairy
arms, a terrible gash appearing aa the man
snatched the limb oat of his ravenous jaw. The
bull-dog was licking bis lips, and had fewer
tears in bis eyes as his master drew
him book. As for tho dwarf, ho retired
to his corner for a whet of brandy ond
a moment’s comforting with tbo
towel. Ho was ready and smiling again, how
ever, for ' Bound 9,’ and this time It was a fight
la earnest, the dog worrying the man ond tho
man dealing It terrific blows on the ribs and on
the bead with those sledge-hammer fists, till in
ond both tbo man’s arms were blooding, and a
horribly cheerful business was going on behind
the ropes at two to one on Physio. But lot mo make
sbortjwork of tho ensuing seven ‘ rounds, ’ which
in some of their details wore so shocking that
more than once I would have loft the place if I
could. The company generally, however, were
made of far loss sensitive stuff. Tho more
furiona the ghastly fight, the keener was
their relish for it, and iu their excitement
they leant over each other’s shoulders and
over tho rope, and mouthed and snarled and
uttered guttural noises when a good bit
or snap was made, just as tho dog and tho dwarf
were doing. By the time Bound 10 was con
cluded the bull-dog's head was swelled much be
yond ita accustomed size; It bad lost two teeth,
and one of ita eyes waa entirely shut up ; while
aa for tho dwarf, his fists, as woll aa his arms,
were rooking, and his hideous face was ghastly
Ealo with rage and despair of victory. Fate was
ind to him, however. In Bound 11 the bull
dog came on fresh and foaming with awful per
sistence of forr, but with desperate strength tho
dwarf dealt him a tremendous blow under tho
ehln, aod with such effect that the dog was
dashed against tho wall, where, despite all Us
master could do for it, for tho space of one min
ute It lay still, aod tho wretch wuo bad so dis
§ raced what aspect of humanity was in him was
eolared the victor. I shall have gone through
that horrid spootaole to little purpose if any such
tournaments are in future waged at Hanley.”

TILTON’S CROSS-EXAMINATION
NswYomt, July 27.—Tho following la the
closing portion of Tilton’s testimony hoforo ths
Investigating Committee, oontlnnod from Mon
day morning's issue;
Tilton continued, Hint Mrs. Tilton was s lady
of largo reading, end eald Sir. Booohor carried to
hor tho ehoete of his “Llfo of Christ" and
"Norwood" for criticism. She was one of the
best of orltcs, and her Judgment was not warped
by affections; and ho (Tilton) wea always cer
tain that, if Elizabeth liked whet be wrote, It was
not on his account, though sho was always glad
when he wrote a good thing. It waa always an
honent criticism; If be hod ton a minister, none
of this trouble would have como. Sho was
alwoj-s aorry bo was not a minister, though this
waa tho only virtue ho possessed.
TII.TON S cniiED.
Thank God, said Tilton, I do not belong to tho
)riosthood or tho Churoh; lam a man of re
igiouß Lympathics, who thoroughly hate and
uoßplße roligioua crcoda; don’t believe in onoof
tho Thirty-nine Articles, nor in either of tho
Catechisms, nor In tho Divinity of tho Inspira
«? n . tll ° Scriptures, nor In the Divinity of
Christ in the aonae iu which it ia hold.
• Witness continued, that his wife grieved over
Uiia with tears, and found-,what waa wanting in
him In Booohor. who took advantage of it, and
ought to spend the roat of hia life in penitence
and anguish. She regarded
UEEOKEB ALMOST AS JESUS OIIRIBT
himself. , Tilton did not think that tbonghts of
passion and of criminality wore in her breast.
They worn altogothor In Eooohor’a. Bho thouirht
only of lovo nod reverence.
Q.—Suoh » character would not Kelt. Iho
thoughtof
JEALOUSY
as to her?
A-—Not tho slightest j I noyor had lha alight
oat fooling of jealousy In regard to Elizabeth.
Thora was a timo when I foil that Boochor waa
using his influonco greatly upon her.
t Q‘ — To control her. in her domestic relations
with you? ..
A.-~No, but to win her; he was always trying
to got her to say that she loved him better than
mo. ....
Q.—She never would say it ?
A.—l don’t tbiuk sbo over did; she loved hla
roligiouß views j she loved him as an evangelical
minister, bnt I don’t think that, on the whole, he
was as much to her as I wae.
Tilton next testified to the letter in refer
ence to
THE BETBAOTION.
what struck him in (hat business as so
damnable in Mr. Beecher was that, after coming
and confessing to himself and Moulton his crim
inal relations with Mrs. Tilton, and then going
’round tho corner to soe her, he should have
come bock in half-an-hour and express his abso
lute heort-brokennoss, whereas ho hod in his
pocket this retraction from her. It was damna
ble and nefarious. When ho saw Beecher at
Moulton’s house, ho (Tilton) locked the door
and narrated Elizabeth's confession. It was a
long one and it would havo been indelicate to
touch it with any more elaboration than ho had.
Ho did not wish to bo questioned about it; it
was a long story. The retraction was returned
to him through Mr. Moulton. It is now in Moul
ton’s safe, but ho (Tilton) hod a cony of
it, The letter of apology is in Moulton’s
writing, except the last lino and signature. If
he (Tilton) had been present at tho time it
would never have been written.
THE MONEY DISPUTE WITH BOWEN
was next alluded to, and during the testimony
ho said: “The more I quarreled with Mr. Booch
er, the bettor Mr. Bowen liked it; if, as a result
of the controversy, Mr. Beecher should have
died. Bownn would not ho ODO of Ut* ttottraoto,
but ono that would uplift aJmm
Ho never wanton peace with Beecher; be always
wanted war with Beecher; ho is an enemy of
Booobor, and would rejoice in hla downfall."
TUB LETTERS.

Th* letter beginning My dear Prank, lam
determined to make no moro resistance. Theo
dore’s temperament is snob," oto., is in Moul
ton's possession. Tilton’s letter to a complain
ing fnend was written to nobody, but as a public
card; was one of a number or ingenious sub
terfuges. but didn't amount to anything. Ho
wrote it thinking it would please Elizabeth. Its
effect was to perpetuate the scandal
Q. —The scandal would have died out long ago,
would it not? It has only boon kept alive ny
your writings.
A.—l have acted like a fool, I admit.
Tracy—Wo all concede that, and do not need
to call any witnesses to prove it.
Q. —You have quoted letters of your wife to
prove what your homo was in 18C8 and through
out 18GB ?
A.—l quoted them to show what it was pro*
vioua to her surrender to him.
Q. —You have stated that there wore acts of
criminality, first at Beecher's bouse, and, sec
ondly, at your own bouse ; do you protend to
have a personal knowledge of those acta ?
A.—Only the knowledge of Mrs. Tilton’s con
fession. I was absent nt the time.
TUB REMAINDER OP TUB TRBTIMONV
related to an attempt, which failed, to prevail
upon Beecher to preside at the Woodhull meet
ing at Steinway Hall, and to Mr. Tilton's asso
ciation with various women, the names of all
being omitted except those known aa “ reform
ers ,r and women of public reputation, the pur
pose of the Committee being to show that tbe
peooo of Tilton's house was destroyed by his own
acts.
The letters which Tilton quoted from were, he
said, in the hands of Moulton.
A MEMPHIS SENSATION.
Memphis, Tonn., July 27. —Considerable ex
citement was created bore ibis afternoon by tbs
appearance of an extra, purporting to be the
confession of the Bov. Henry Word Beecher,
admitting his guilt of tbe charges made by
Tboodore Tilton, and attempting to defend his
aotlon from a Biblical standpoint. The article
was remarkably well-written, and thousands of
extras sold before tbe deception was discovered.
A number of newsboys were arrested for selling
them, and tbe polico are endeavoring to find tho
author. Tho newsboys say they bought them
from a man in Centro alloy.
THIS PLYMOUTH CHURCH COMMIT
TEE.
To the Editor of Tht Chicago Tribune:
Bib : I liavo boon much intorostod in Tub
Tribune's comments upon the Boochor-Tilton
Bcandal. 'Without indorsing thorn all, it seems
to mo that they bare boon, in the main, emi
nently just. 1 wish especially to indorse (ho
hope you recently expressed, ** that tho Ply
mouth Church Investigating Committee realize
that they are on trial as well as Ur. Beecher.”
Nothing can be more true than this. However
they might, under ordinary circumstances, bo
disposed to screen their accused friend, all each
attempts must now be worse than futile. It will
not only damage themselves, bat react most dis
astrously upon him whom they might seek to
firotoct. Air. Beecher has directed (hat they go
o tho bottom of the matter, and they must nob
hesitate to take him at his word. We will not
question hia sincerity in giving such instruc
tions 5 the Committee of Investigation must
carry thorn out, at all events.
And I am very certain this will bo the case, so
far as one member of the Committee ia con
cerned, X refer to

the canning bnainoaa tho not profile wore light,
owing to the imperfect knowledge necessary to
complete success. Now it is a paying business,
but that is tho reanltof economical management,
thorough supervision, a complete knowledge of

ability. The business is bound to grow to be
only second in Importance and value to tho wheat
crop of tho State.
‘‘The process of canning is more or less Inter
esting, and shows tho value of the proper divis
ion of labor. In catching tho fish, two men are
required to a boat. Another receives tho fish at
the wharf and counts thorn. A hov places tho
fish on tho splitter’s table,—tho splitter, who is
generally a strong, active man, holds a largo
sharp knifo, and with ten outs removes seven
fins, head, toil, opens tbo fish, and disembowels
it. -A competent man will put through bis
hands from 100 to 120 in an hour, or from 1,000
to 1,200 in ton hoars. A man thou washes the
fish, scrapes it, and transfers it to another for a
further washing and scraping, so that all the
blood and slimo possible may bo removed be
fore cutting. He then puts tho fish on tho cut
tor’s table. Tho cutter places tho fish in a
frame, and with a circular knifo of six blades
outs the fish with ouo stroke into six pieces; each
piooo the sizo of tho depth of tho can. With
one,-motion he transfers these pieces to tho op
posite side of tho table, where another man with
an ordinary knifo subdivides them into about
twelve pieces and puts them into a vat of strong
brine. Another man subjects them to a second
process of a similar kind, with tho object of re
moving all impurities. Ho then, with a atrainop
places them on a table, where the wntory pnrla
ara <*•«•» *Uu tioi, io icHily forcaonimr.
A man with a borrow convoys tho pieces to tho
Conner s table 5 another puts a small quantity of
bnne or salt in each con 5 another fills the can
with fish (ono or two pounds, as tho case may
bo) 5 another removes any slimo about the
mouth of the can; another. puts on tho
lid { another solders it; auotuor convoys
it to tho bath-room for cooking. Five men
and tho superintendent are employed In this
deportment, which is one of tho mostlmportant.
The cans are placed on troys and boiled
In kettles for two hours; then taken out and
tested, to ascertain that they ore air-tight; then
pouod hours more; then dipped in lye
to remove all oily substances from tho cans s then
washed with cold water by moans of a hose; then
removed to the store-room, whore another man
dips them in a preparation that protects tho can
fronf rusts another person puts on the label;
another puts them in the ease, and another nails
it up, when it is ready for shipment.
“In this imperfect sketch it will bo seen that
from the is caught until it is ready
for shipment it passes through at least twenty
seven hands.
** It requires ton men to make a tin can in one
of these establishments, from the removal of the
tin from tiro box until it is ready to receive the
fish. The perfection of the whole process de
pends on every department, from the beginning
to the end, being attended to with the utmost
care, attention, and thorough supervision.**
