Tin.; published expenses of the settle
ment of the Jay Cooke is a pret
t,y good argument in favor of llii! re
peal of (lie bankrupt act. It appears
by (bia statement I bat sßl,ti7*‘t were ex
pended for eommel fees and expenses of
litigation; the trustee of the entail) re
ceived for commissions and special
eonipeiiHalion S.T!,‘JO7, and tin eoni
iniltee of creditors $-0,01)0. Including
tbe fees of the register in bankruptcy,
which amounted lo S7>,B7H, the fees of
(lie United Slates marshal, $ 1,0--, clerk
hire, $i r i,'t,!tß7, niisei Ilaneons expenses,
$8,707), advertising, $-,07)0 and printing
and stationery, sd,o7-, there is a total
expenditure of $-10,707). While these
figures are not, perhaps as large as they
would have been if the (stale had been
settled in JS'ew York, yet they are
of sufficient magnitude lo point
out the manner in which the bank
rupts’ estates are lleeced out of
the moneys which should be ap
plied lo tin' payment of creditors.
About seven per cent, of the total assets
of the ('stale have been eaten up in ex
penses, and the creditors, while loosing
tin 1 interest on (heir claims, have also
had their principal diminished. With
out questioning the honesty of those
who have had charge of settling the af
fairs of tin 1 estate, it is only 100 evident
that they have paid well for all they
'have received, and particularly in re
gard to the item of legal expenses. The
fact that creditors no longer complain
of exorbitant charges made in these
eases dhows how well accustomed they
have become to this sort of imposition.
To tins cause is principally due the re
peal of the bankruptcy law; and when
viewed in this light, the action of
(longress calls for encomium rather than
rep roach.
Tun ollicial statement of the British
government of the exports and im
ports for the six months ending June
110th, 1878, is a favorable statement for
the United States. The imports into

current year show a falling oil in value
of Xf),800,510, as compared with (Ik*

this quantity t0.00h.100 cwt. went from
the United Slates in 1878, against only
0,708,Ml cwt. in 1877. Then' is a very
remarkable falling oil in the ship

and a heavy increase in tin* shipments
fiom the I’acilic coast. A comparison

Kngland’s exportation of iron to the
United Slates has almost entirely ceased.
Of railroad iron there were sent to the
United States only ‘.*77 tons this year,
and of hoops, sheets and boiler plates,
only dl'J ions. The improved methods
for the manufacture of iron and steel
in this country, together with the very
low price of all material used, including
coal and ore, render it possible for the
American manufactures to produce both
raw and manufactured iron at prices
with which the British iron masters can
no longer compete.*

A Denver dispatch on the evening of

entirely clear till I I*. M. when a few
masses of cumulus clouds showed
themselves over the mountains toward
the north and west. With these excep

The time of the first contact was

with smoked glass. By three o’clock
thesun light had moderated ina marked
degree,showing a pale yellow color. Ba

the heat of the sun was no longer op

was shown on the horizon. 'The light
flecks of cloud began slowly to dissolve,

A New York dispatch of July liHth
says the Timm of to-day adds to
the criminal record an account of per
haps the most audacious crime ever
perpetrated in Bus country. It appears
that some mouths since a married lady
ol Boston, of great reHnemeiil and
beauty and occupying a prominent
social position, hail been visiting friends
in the interior of this stale and when
leaving took a drawing-room ear on
the New York Central road for Albany
where her husband awaited her. Two
villains followed her into the car
probably attracted by the noticeable
jewelry she wore, and when the
conductor approached the lady fora
ticket they informed him that they
were her friends, and that she was de
ranged and they had unfortunately been
selected to convey her lo tbe Utica asy
lum. In spile ol her protestations and
appeals for protection, tbe scoundrels
succeeded in convincing tbe conductor
and passengers of the truth of their
story, and removed I 1 e lady from the
cars at Utica, she sw'Mning as the train
moved away. She was then lifted into
a coach, chloroformed and taken to a
house of ill repute, outraged and rob
bed of her jewelry and clothing. The
husband learned of ins wife’s alleged
insanity when the train arrived at Al
bany, and procuring a special engine,
started for Utica without delay; upon
arriving, a few inquires enabled him
to find the disreputable house where the
wife was taken and there he found her
lying on a bed almost stripped of her
clothing and her mind seriously injured
by the terrible experience. No names
are given from considerations of deli
cacy. The husband made every ell’ort
consistent with privacy to discover the
fiends, hut so far without avail.

MORE ABOUT THU W.VNHA PLANT.
The Little Minister Langston Has
Learned of the Properties of This
Nureolie Herb.
Washington star.
At the request of one of the professors
in the medical college of the University
of Pennsylvania, Mr. Langston, our
minister to Hayti, has, by directions of
the secretary of state, made investigations
into the nature of a narcotic herb grow
ing in the island called “wanga plant.”
Tbis plant appears to be used in the in
cantations of a society called the “Vou
doux”and is not known outside of the cir
cle of its high functionaries. Marvelous
stories arc told of the wonderful effects
produced by it. Whenever rninicels are
to be wrought, the sick healed, the dead
brought to life, or any other display of
superhuman power is to bo made,
tin? herb is used. It is often told, with
the most profound sincerity, by those
not belonging to the order of the Voud
ou x that the papalois” or “priest,”
moved by what is called the “ Lois,”
cun, and does, resurrect the dead, the
wanga plant always playing its part in
the performance, The “ Lois” is a spirit
ual inllunce inherited in certain fam
ilies, resembling the powers attributed
to “ mediums” in spiritualism. The fol
lowers of this faith in Hayti are numer
ous and of all grades of social life. The
Km purer Souloque was a member, but
Uollrard sought to prevent its in
crease. The “ Voudoux” are cannibals,
and kill small children as a sacriliee to
their strange god. In connection with
these riles and practices the sacred herb
is used conspicuously. The plant is
used by Haytians not members of the
Voudoux as a narcotic medicine and
for base and lascivious purposes. A
negro used it to put Ids rich master to
sleep while be robbed him. The juice
will produce temporary blindness, and
thus unfit for military purposes the vic
tim. After its influences pass away the
sight is perfectly restored, and a bail ef
fect mi the optic nerve remains. The
herb is used to procure sound and
pleasant sleep by persons suffering from
disease of body or mind. It has been
successful where chloroform has failed.
Five leaves placed under the pillow are
generally sufficient to bring relief. Its
properties, however, are yet to be deter
mined and defined. The botany of the
island presents a large Held wf study.
Of 2,000 varieties of plants, only GUO
have been examined and classified.
The conclusion of the whole matter,
says Mr. Langston, is, whatever the plant
“ wanga” may be, whether its proper
ties already concern medical science or
not, there is in this country,ns connect
ed with this subject, treasures which
await scientific exploration.

soldiers, hut the most enormous public
charily could hut reach a tithe of the
needs of the many thousands of suffer

Edward Cooper, tried before one of the
courts-martial of the Army of Northern
Virginia, during 1 Stilt, will illustrate the
difficulty and frequency of desertions at
that and subsequent periods of the war.
The prisoner was charged with deser
tion. He declined the use of counsel.
The judge advocate opened the case
and clearly proved his guilt. The ac
cused was told to produce Ids witnesses.
11" said that he had none, and Ins only
defense was a letter from his wife, which
he handed to the president of the court.
It read as follows:
“ Mv Dear Edward: 1 have been al
ways proud of you, and since your con
nection with the confederate army 1
have been prouder of you than ever be
fore. 1 would not have you do anything
wrong tor the world; but before God,
Edward, unless you com: 1 home we must
die. East night 1 was aroused by little
E Idie’s crying. I called and said,
‘What is the matter, Eddie?’ And he
said, ‘O, mamma, 1 am so hungry.’
And l.ucy, Edward—your darling Lucy
—she never complains, but she is grow
ing thinner and thinner every day.
And before God, Edward, unless you
come home we must die. Your
Mary.”
The president. Gen. Cullen A. B title,
and other members ot the court were
melted to tears, and asked the artillery
man what he did on the reception of
the letter. He replied that he made
three seperate and ineffectual applica
tions for a furlough, and then resolved,
upon whatever cost to vi.-il bis home.
I'pou meeting his wife she was broken
hearted at learning of his absence with
out leave, and “ 1 am here,gentlemen.”
said he, “ not brought back by military
power, b it in obedience to the command
of Mary, to abide the sentence of your
court.” Edward Conner was found
guilty of desertion and sentenced to
death, as it was the plain duty of the
court. But the greatest and most mer
ciful of men was in command of that
army, and upon reviewing the ease
Gen. Lee approved the finding, but par
