Mr. Cowley, the brute of the Shepherd's Fold, New York, was "dis appointed, sadly disappointed, at the conviction." A 6TORY comes from Albany that Conkling's friends are setting up a plan to put him forward instead of Grant as the choice of New York for the Repub lican nomination for the Presidency. A bill has been introduced in the New Jersey Legislature which author izes Sheriffs to employ persons "skilled in the mechanical duties" to assist them in the execution of criminals. This is a movement toward a public execution er, which, in view of the many persons billed to be hanged this summer, and the many more who evidently ought to be hanged, deserves consideration. A SEitious railroad accident occurred near Bellaire, 0., late yesterday after noon. As there is no telegraph line to the point where the accident occurred, full particulars are delayed. It appears, however, that 'some fifteen or twenty persons were hurt, more or less seriously. It is announced that Ex-Congressman Danford is among those fatally injured, but his friends hope he may not be hurt ii badly as at first apprehended. The tragic death of the young Frince imperial in South Africa, while really the ward of the British people and the guest of the British army, has impres-ed the Royal family to which he came so near an alliance, matrimonially, that they are determined nothing shall be left undone to fitly honor his memory dead Westminster Abbey, held sacred to the remains of men illustrious in art, science, war or literature, is jealously guarded, and there has beeu so much public pressure brought to bear against the burial there of the young Napoleon that Dean Stanley was almost persuaded to deny the application. The Queen has, however, overborne the Dean's scruples, and it is now authoritatively announced that the remains of the hapless young Prince will be interred there. The statue to Prince Albert, now completed, is also to be immediately erected in that mauso leum of departed greatness. Undoubtedly the tendency of the people of the United States is to flock into the cities. " In the sparsely popu lated States this is less marked than in those more thickly peopled that have been longer settled. Thus in Connecti cut, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island, this is especially observed. Boston, New York, Providence, and in deed nearly all the prominent cities and towns of the States named, are increas ing in population, while in tBe rural dis tricts the number of inhabitants is actu ally retrograding. An hundred years go about one-thirtieth of the American people were residents of cities. Forty years ago the proportion was changed so that fully one-twelfth lived in cities; in 1860 one-sixth, and at the last census, in 1870, one-fifth. Of course, this is to some extent attrihutablo tothe development of manufacturing industries in this coun try that draws its workmen together in masses, as was shown by the extraordinary increase in city population during the late war, when manufacturing of all kinds was abnormally stimulated and could hardly find sufficient men to con duct its operations; but a part of this ten dency is caused undoubtedly by the greater attractions of town life to the youth of both sexes and to the superior facility of gratifying luxurious tastes on the part of those who have accumulated fortunes in the country. In Eugland, where the laws of primogeniture keep large estates together and thus insure vast ' fortunes to the head of the house, country life has maintained g stronger foothold upon the affections of the -wealthy and cultivated, clns.es than elsewhere, and yet fully one-half of the population of England is gathered in the cities. In France country life is distasteful to those who are sufficiently affluent to afford to live in town, and a proportion even greater is found residing there. So also in Ituly and Germany. It will probably be many years before the same conditions exist with us as in the old countries, but we are drifting in the same direction in the older portions of the United Slates, and if you travel a road long enough you are reasonably ure of arriving finally at the end of it. 80BGHTX STOAB CASE. We hare referred heretofore to the claims put forth by Dr. Collier, the chemist, of the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, that he had succeeded in producing true crystals of sugar in pay ing quantities from the. sorghum sugar cane. The experiments made during the last twenty-five years by farmers and others have never got beyond the point of producing a quality of syrup equal in many cases to the best made from the ribbon cane of Louisiana and the West Indies, and occasionally a small quantity of grape sugar or glucose, some peculiarity of the saccharine juices seeming to destroy the capacity to form the true sugar crystals, if originally pres ent in the cane, or, as was often contend ed, they do not exist to begin with. A late Baltimore Sun publishes an article on the subject which seems -to imply that Dr. Collier's claim to having discov ered the secret of securing a true crystal ization of the inspissated juices of the sorghum family of sugar cane rests on the sole foundation of curing or ripening the canes more completely than has beon the custom among those who have experimented before him to that end. If this is the sole basis for his claims we fear the Doctor and the public are likely to fool disappointment at the promises of a great discovery that have beeu scattered over the country. The juices of sorghum sugar-cane since about 1857 have been tried in every State of the country in every stage of development from the springing of the plume-like hend to the full maturity of the seed, and true prismatic crystals of sugar have refused to form so far as pub licly known. The statement was put forth some months ago that Dr. Collier had solved the riddle, and in due time would give the country the benefit of it. If he has, indeed, made a great discov ery, the people are entitled to be advised of it; and, if not, we must be contented with the cultivation of sorghum for syr ups as heretofore, and must extend the cultivation of the" sugar beet that has been shown capable of yielding a profit able amount of sugar, evon so far north as Maine, in the experiments that have proven so successful at the Portland es tablishment. UTILIZING C0NTTCT LABOR. " One of the grave questions of political economy is how to utilize to the full ex tent the labor of convicts in penitentiaries, so that it shall inure to the benefit of the State without interfering with the rights of the working classes outside. The contractor who hires the right to employ 590 or 1,000 convicts, more or less, and sets them at worK making shoes, weaving burlaps, making agricultural implements, etc., comes directly in com petition with the manufacturer of these articles who employs ordinary voluntary labor. The complaints against this com petition has been both loud and deep, and is likely to continue, . and should continue as long as it exists. We have long thought that some svs-! tem could and ought to be devised whereby the labor of criminals sentenced to penal servitude could be made to do the State real service without interfering with the ordinary industries of the coun try. For instance, there might be con ducted certain public works essential to the State that ordinarily would .scarcely be undertaken, and these could be per formed by the prisoners themselves with no cost further than that for their maintenance. t seems that the Kentucky Legislature has before it now a bill introduced by Judge Hord, providing for the employ ment of at least 500 men in the improve ment of tho Kentucky River, and the Courier-Journal remarking upon this subject, says that in 1836-7 and 1838 Kentucky spent over $2,000,000 for slack water navigation throughout the State, but the locking and damming of the Kentucky River was only partly accom plished and the old works are now going to ruin. It thinks that in less than a year, with the work of the convicts un der proper supervision, the river can be made to serve all the interests of trade as far as the Forks, and the latter can afterwards be similarly improved .-o that a vast and wealthy portion of the State can be made accessible to capital and population. It thinks this would be a benefit to all concerned: the prison would be relieved of the present over crowding complained of but too justly; the convicts would be healthier for the change, and the State would secure a valuable public improvement without an invasion of the domain of ordinary industries of the country or much ex pense. ' Whether this measure would, even if adopted, justify the abandon ment of the plan for building a new Penitentiary is a question that it is not necessary to here discuss, but we shall have a word to say on that subject at an other time.

The Enquirer savs: The Secretary of the Treasury is not willing that Congress should obtain any information concerning his Departmpnt sure such as he is willing to irnp irt. The order is issi'ed to heads of Bureaus and officers of the Treasury De partment that "it is deemed advisable tluit any information concerning the business of this Department, intended for the use of Congress or any of its Committees, be transmitted thereto by or through this office. Letters received by other officers of this Department, asking for such in formation, will he referred hereafter to the Secretary, with the information desired, for the purpose of such transmission." The Secretary . intends to control the public Information touch ing the Treasury Department. The meet ing in Columbus lust night will attract the notice of the country in the various as pects we have named, Sherman in the house of his friends can kindle no warmth. The name of a man in the Easternmost State of the Union, who is known to be cordial, gallant, warm-hearted, audacious, , magnetic, and is not chilling, is able to throw the candidacy of John Sherman in the shadow, in a Western State, not only, nut in ;Shermun's own State. The South ern Railroad is too much"bossed."Tbere are too many great minda directing it. . A company of good, solid business men should have it, who in providing for them selves would take equally good care of the city's interests.

Blaine's friends should co operate with those of Sherman in Ohio, and content themselves with the chances that Blaine shall be the second choice of Ohio. Though the Grant men crow about their unit-rule in Penn sylvania, it is not possible that the united vote of that State shall he thrown for Grant. In other words, the Blaine men will not vote for Grant, and that is all there is of iu The New York Convention will be broken as serious ly as that of Pennsylvania, if the Blaine and Sherinnn men w rk together as thev should do. Ohio will not have a vote for Grant, and the Illinois delegation will not be solid fur him, though Logan and Wash burne go to bed together.

In our judg ment he has made some serious mistakes in this country, but as the grandson of one of the most famous of American naval offi cers, and the representative of the people of Ireland who hold that the sufferings of the Irish people culminating in a famine, are the product of tuisgovernment, he is entitled to be received with cordiality and ; eard with respect. If i is mission is as charged, that of a political agitator, he is in t e wrong country to make his talents effective. The Gazette says: The exodns of the freedmen of the South to Kansas contin ues.

The latter has de clared that he will not o'nly work against Tilden's nomination but also against his election. That Kelly possesses great power' in the State of New York was shown at the last election. Iu spite of this we do not believe that he would be able in a Presi dential election to prevent Tilden's victory in his own State, The Volksblatt says: Corryville and Mt Auburn are to get post-office stations. We congratulate. Sell the Southern Road and use the money to decrease the city's debt. If we do not get rid of it soon it will make us bankrupts.

Owing to the inflammable material on' which the fire had to feed and the difficulty the tire men experienced in' getting the ladder np on account of the telegraph wires, the two upper floors were ablaze before the firemen could get down to work.

The wedding was to have taken place last evening, but when vii e appointed nine arrived uoioy tailed to put in an appearance. Investigation re vealed the fact that be had resigned his position the dav before and skipped out CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER. Editorial, December 24, 1879. , The following interviews elicited by a Plain Dealer reporter show beyond reason able doubt that the preparation in question is really an article of high merit in fact a reliable specific for a great number of dis tressing complaints. The character and standing of the gentlemen interviewed many of them occupying prominent official positions together with the hearty In dorsement they accord the remedy, from their own experience' and observation, ought to commend it to every one. Fair minded people will agree, we think, with the proprietors, that there is nothing tin- mercamiie or unproiessionai in Dringing the article to the notice of the public through the medium of the press. Captain Henry M. Holzworth, Chief of the Cleveland Detective Force, was ap proached in his office in the City Hall, and when subiected to a reouest for his nntnirm of St Jacobs Oil readily answered: " It Iirs done me a world of good. I was afflict ed with a sort of combination of pleurisy ana rnnumausm in me spine, winch grew so bad that I became somewhat alarmed. I never had such severe attack, and when I was finally laid up with it, I hardly ex pected to leave my oeci tor monius, jjoc tors failed to benefit me. and acting on the suggestion of a friend, I procured a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and' received surprising renei on me urst application, i could plainly feel the effects of the preparation from the start. It heated the flesh, and seemed to find its way to tiie seat of the disease at once. To be brief, it completely conquered all pain, and in a day or two I was entirely free from tne complaint and have since remained so." John Vanek, Esq., first Assistant City Clerk, was next called upon and said: ".My roouier was a gunerer iroiu troublesome pains in her limbs for years. Some time ago she commenced to use St Jacobs Oil, with a result t at is thus far So highly sat isfactory that she has become a strong con vert to the general faith in its curative powers. I feel justified in saying that from no other preparation has she received such decided benefits," E. A. Sch'ellentrauger, Esq., member of Education from the Seventh Ward, one of oar well known pubtio spirited Germans, was found in ins drug store. No. 717 St Clair street After affirming that he sold more of St Jacobs Oil than all other lini ments combined be continued: "As for testimonials, I can furnish you with any quantity. For instance, this afternoon a man made it bis special business to come in and sing his praise of the remedy with a good deal of enthusiasm. He is an em ploye in the Pittsburg car shops, and was a short time ago thrown against a casting and so severely injured- in the hip that he could not walk. After using a part of a bottle of the Oil, he wus. as I have already said, able to cotne in here to-day and assert that it was the best thing he ever saw. A lady on Wason street who suffered with rheumatism of the most pronounced type, particularly in her hands, is willing to give tiie Oil the warmest recommenda tion. By continued use the cords relaxed, and she has once mure the free use of her fingers. Similar reports are almost daily received. I will on application. furnish the address of scores of people who nave tested the remedy and find it precisely what it has been re, resented to be." J. Jacki-on Smith, Esq., Councilman from the Fifth Ward, receutr" recommended St, Jacobs Oil to a prominent pulitUion of tuia city, who was a martyr to rheumatic aches .and pains. His shoulder wus so badly af flicted tnat It was impossible lor him to u.-e a pen. "He assured me," Mr. Smith said, " that be was n.aterially benefited after the first rubbing, and that by constant use since be lias succeeded in entirely ridding himself of tiie complaint I have inlro dused the Oil in my funrly, believing that it is Sn exceedingly good thing to huve withiu reuon. My son has used it for head ache with good success. The truth Is, by the amount of talk one bears daily about St Jacobs Oil, it seems as though it Has destined to occupy a most important posi tion in every bousenold." . Mr. Charles P.. Vaupel, 'the well-known pharmacist whose place of business is at 3b6 Ei.ciid avenue, was the tecond dealer visited, and be also Informed our reporter that he sold more of 6t Jacobs Oil than ah other preparations of similar profu sions put together. He heard nothing but the must favorable reports from his pur chasers,' who were, iu the main, people of the highest business and social standing. A well-known railroad gentleman, a victim uf chronic rheumatism, found relief in a remarkably short space of time, and hand ed in a hearty Indorsement to the claims oi the Oil A lady living on Dodge street was strong iu the belief that it was the best thing she ever used. " To hear what I have heard concerning this remedy," said Mt, Veupel, in conclusion, would. I am sura. besufiloient to convince the most skepti cal." i Mr. Davies. of the firm of Henrv A Daviea. popular druggists, was found in bis elegant place of business on Superior street corner of Monumental Park. Mr. Davies prefaced bis statement with the remark that the sale of fit Jacobs Oil was far in advance of any ot ine thousand prepared liniments, eta, bis establishment contained. He is in pos session also of a large number of names wmcn nave been used in certifying to gooa results from the proper use of the Oil. Ha conscientiously recommeuded a trial when ever an opportunity presented itself, and was, on the whole, quite enthusiastic ovet the success of the article. t For proof of the) last statement we might refer our readers) to the large and really handsome sign which at present ornaments the side of the building fronting on the Park. It issn un usually fine piece of work gotten up by Downio & Co., and attracts considerable at tention as a natural consequence. - J. H. Peck, Esq., the City Hall druggist said: "In sales St, Jaoobs Oil is ahead of everything in the market Its popularity is astonishing.. We hear it much talked (3 as a good thing, and have bad excellent re ports from parties who have used it One person in particular was enthusiastic in his praise of the OiL He had been very sick " with rheumatism; wss unable to leave bis house for a long time, and he did conside. able doctoring without, benefit After us ing the Oil but a few days he was able to go about his business again, and. a single bottle cured him entirely," , The exten&ive wholesale drug houses of Benton, Myers & Co. and Strong, Cobb At Co. were visited. Mr. Samuel Strong, the senior member of the latter, stated that he himself had heard very favorable reports regarding the effi cacy of St Jacobs Oil. Said he: "It out sells every proprietary medicine in oar bouse," and he added, that in his long ex perience (Mr. Strung has been in the drag business here for over twenty years), be never knew of an article that achieved so great a popularity in so short a time. Mr. Daniel Myers said that with hie house (Benton, Myers dfc Co.) tho sales of St Jacobs Oil were greater by far than those of any other article of its kind, and that it was iu fact one of the very best selling articles they bad handled for many years. When questioned as to the merits of the remedy he referred the writer to one of their employes who bad used it This lab ter party informed the news gatherer that about six weeks ago be had a severe attack of rheumatism, with which he was laid urn tor some days.
