Senator Wilson declared that he u had no sympathy with the plan of covering our own abort comings by talking of the gigantic swindle in New York. There were BepubH- can thieve*, as well as Democratic Mieves." Senator Patterson said " that Iuspectorsiu **•* ^ - ^ l " -*~» House stated under uwA«« xinK CUbw-te. .— - oath they had take* bribe* and that they toot bribe* every time they ditcharged a ve**el. n Senator Scburz referred to the " general order system" and said " There mutt be some MYSTERIOUS POWEB sustaining that tyatem stronger than a decent regard for public opinion, and stronger than the Secretary of the Treasury himself? Senator Tipton declared that '• he believed there was CORRI PTIOS, DEEP, DAMNIXO, and REsiTEiusci, all thrmigh tht* Administra- tion." Senator Trumbull said " if there is any- where in the world a worse civil service thanjI that of the United States, I ;>»«y God to de- liter them from it." When Senator Anthony introduced his To let the dead rent is a rule that would prefer a l w s y to respect. But suopooe un- wi«e mourner* in*i»t en digging up and par- ading their decaying remain*, are we revpon- ml.le for the odor "f putrefaction thence dis- •rminated? Supjxwe their uneasy ghosts, wlielly witboMt excuse, come rapprnc drum- ming pounding on public dinner tables, what then ? Mint we endure the annoying din in- definitely without protest? May we not jus- tifiably i«eek t.> deduce therefrom whatever jiisrnificance we fairly m a y ? Mr. Thomas Murphy being no longer Col- lector, hi* friends surround his door step and, through various wind instruments. ex-Mayor Opdyke's voice included, attest their unquali- fied admiration of his official earner. These friends are also the admirers and champions of what is understood and commended a t t h e White House as Civil Service Reform. Now it is a fact so notorious that even Tho*. Murphy will not deny it, that he wielded the great power and patronage of tbe Collector- ship, from first to last, with a single eye to po- litical ends—not so much tbe triumph of one of great political parties over tbe other, a s o f one faction or "wing" of the Republican party over its rival. To tbis end and t o n o other did he remove and appoint hundreds of sub- ordinates—many of the appointments being payment in band for a change of votes from "Feuton" lo "Conkhng" in Republican Stale Conventions. Thus was a majority in the State Convention of 1870 bought over to the "Vonkling" side; thus tras a majority secured in Contention of 1871. Thus were the "Fen- ton" men in the Revenue service steadily stricken down, until one half of them bad been ejected from office and the other half terrorized into conversion to Conklingism. When Mr. Murphy was made Collector, about half his subordinates were of the "Fenton" persuasion; when he resigned, If there were a tingle "Fenton" head within bit reach, we do not know whose U was. Those who bad not protested conversion, had been relentlessly struek>down; even Gov. Fenton's once Harbor-Matter,Jimmy Thomp- son, now snooting vociferoualy and meeaeant- ly for Conkling at the exorbitant rate of two cents per yell. Mr. Murphy had done hit ut- most to defeat Gov. Fenton's re-election in 1866, running bit bogus Republican General Committee in support of Hodman A C o . Beaten then, be accepted the CoMectorsbip with manifest intent to feed 4s fat hit ancient grudge on all the friends of Governor Fenton whom he should And in the Revenue service; and that be hat done to hit heart* content. He has carried two tuccetaive State Con- ventions for Gov. Fenton's enemies b y t b e most unsparing use of hit immense patronage to this express end. Every Intelligent noliti- cian in the State knows that, but for this vast power, to used, tbe results of those Conven- tions would have been different. How much have these two triumph* of Murphy amd Conkling eomt the Treasury of the United State* f Every section and nearly every township of our State were scoured for weekt before our last State Convention by Deputy Collec- tor. Weivhen. Inspectors, Ac-, drumming «ji. t -*r.A0un—. - "-~-**"*«i''.jn.tarest up delegates to tbe ConkliUK-Jtiiii»/ —^ - ~~ at tbe expense of the whole people. Their work as officers was done by others, or left undone, while they were paid for doing tho' thev utterly neglected it. Sot hum than $100,1000 was taken out of the Treasury to pay for services rendered not to the Govern- ment or People, not even to the BepnbUean party, but to the ComkHng-Murphy faction. And none of those who thus ptrtlilently neg- lected their official duties wen rebuked for i t by their superiors. On tbe contrary, those were removed from office who declined to contribute money or service to the Conkllng- Murpby triumph to achieved. And now Mr. Opdyke—well knowing these tacts—certifies that Mr. Murphy was an ex- cellent Collector, with whom no reasonable fault can be found; and Mr. Isaac H. Bailey I says ditto to Mr. Opdyke. And all these gentlemen, Murphy included, are zealous champions of the President's_Civil Service not be has ant h>fortn,'the Amiiitjmtiiitftbc Start Consti- tution, the nwdincasfen of our system of tax- ation, etc. Bis ri«MtaJma all these Mbject ai«ftw*aaifercsWs*jt»in butgsjam) cont- r ct and dear; and the tnestage at a whole one of the most Interesting that bas ema- nated from tbe Executive Department. Many of the n cowmendwtluui of the mes- sage are tbe results of the official experience of tbe Governor—for instance those in rela- tion to the charter of Savings Banks, to Quar- antine and Harbor officers, to the psesage of money bills, to tbe necessity of granting new trials m criminal cases where new evidence it discovered, etc. The presentation o f t h e views of Mr. Went and his asautlttes, in re- gard to taxation, is very full and dear; and though the Governor does not commit him- self in favor of the system, he bas by exposi- tion of it done much to remove tbe preju- dices which at first v i e w h a v e been excited against it. The Governor refers to the riot of tbe 12th of July; speaks of the extent to which be, at Executive, was compelled to interpose; and defends in a frank and manly tone tbe right of public meeting and procession, and asserts the equal rights in this respect of "all men, "of whatever religion, of whatever politics, "of whatever race, color or creed." In referring to tbe city of New York and iu mitgovernment, the Governor recalla the views which he endeavored to impress upon the Legislature in his first message, which be reiterated in the succeeding one—counsels which unfortunately were disregarded. He discusses fully, and with views matured by experience, tbe whole question of municipal reform; and he passes from that to the sub- ject of frauds and corruption in elections. What be says in regard lo tbis great and growing evil must be heeded and the remedy applied, or else representative institutions will become a mockery and oar government a cumbrous fraud. He/demands an investi- gation into the charges ^penly, made and ex- •nr*-rr». tt.n«rt. resolution,namingthe"WhitewashingCom-I[ tofoclIK And 3j r> George William Curtis mittee." Senator Sumner said "this inquiry was first presented by the Senator from Illinois (Trumbull), and urged by him in an elabor- ate and able speech; J mis* hi* name from the Committee.

Grant hurries up his Civil Service in the bone that be may cover up tome of the mistakes made by bis spokesmen in the Sen- ate. He not only comes too late, but his message amounts to nothing, lor be admits ««.. .«««* w «,«..«, »».«-~ . th » t h e to *li**«T possessed of the power to I am at a loss to understand j correct the evils complained of by the coun- ho w my friend Anthony can bringforwarda' «*J- This was shown in the debate, the other proposition for such a Committee. • * * 1 j simply make this statement that it may be on record, and that hereafter should this committee fail in its inquiries the country may know that the Senate wa* at least warn- ed with regard to its chaaracter." Senator Logan said: " As to the organiza- tion of rhe committee, it is peculiar. When the Senate divided on this question of inves- tigating tbe public service, twenty four Sen- ators voted for the proposition and thirty-five against it But when it comes to the ap- pointment of tbis committee, six members are taken from the thirty-five and only one from the twenty-four. O/ course there wa* no design in this." THE FRESCO FINANCES AKD THE FnExen ASSEMBLY.—Tbe French Assembly on Fri- day of last week was more than usually long. The main question before the house was the augmenting of the circulating medium of the Bank of France. The discussion took a wide range, and on several occasions President Thiers found it necessary to mount tbe tri- bune. Some of the members had spoken vi- olently regarding the insolent and intolerant threats ot the Germans; but President Thiers, amid the uproarous applause of the house, made an end of that part of the debate by declaring that silence was the best reply to the harsh words of Bismark. The President, in tbe course of the debate, declared himself opposed for tbe present fiscal year to burden- ing the people with fresh loans. The result of the debate was that the Assembly voted to increase the note circulation of the Bank of France by four hundred millions of francs. The Assembly now stands adjourned until the 3d of Janury. A more decided course or policy may commence with tbe new year. ' BLOOD THIRSTY ORDER. From a document received at Havana on i the 27th, from Clenfuegoes. it is considered I doubtful that Dr. Howard, sentenced to im- i prisonment for sympathy with the rebels, is ! an American. In tbe recent engagement near Manzanil- lo, tbe Spanish Colonel O'Bregon was killed. 1 A BLOOD TiUBSTY PROCLAMATION. Valmaseda has issued a proclamation in | which be says the pardon offered insurgents cannot last forever. He now proclaims that every insurgent captured after the 15th of January will be shot Those surrendering after that date will be sentenced to perpetual imprisonment. Negroes to be treated tbe same as whites. All negro women captured, will be delivered to their owners and will be compelled to wear a chain for four years.

Here in New York we have needed an imposing Civil Service Commission and months of stately deliberation to find out that all these things were within the President's absolute control; that his Col- lector was using patronagetocontrol conven- tions, and his Collector*! subordinates were accepting bribes only because they were not madetosee that such things would cost them their official beads; that a word from him would, at any time, have enforced a reform. Let us now, at least, be thankfulforthe promise that on tbe 1st of January, 1872, that word is to be spoken. Meantime, what does Mr. Morton, who de- clares we already have the best civil service in the world, think of these tardy efforts for its reform ? Shall we hear his eloquent voice thundering against a message that savors what he has been pleasedtocall tbe creation of an aristrocacy in office? What does Mr. Conkling think of the President's hastetolay before Congress his scheme for reforming a service which the Senator, a week ago, be- lieved to require not even investigation? How do all these self-elected spokesmen of tbe Administration feel at the President's haste to let Congress and the country know that instead of being fairly represented by their foolish opposition to investigation, be has wanted such reform of tbe flagrant evils Messrs. Schurz, Trumbull and Sumner have exposed as shall reform them altogether?— It is too soon to rejoice over the civil service propositions, till we have bad time to see what they are; but we may already take com- fort in tbe practical snub the President has given the Senatorial zealots who have wrought such mischief by their pretence of representing him. EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK. Capture of the City Hall By the Re- formers. The City Hall of New York was on tbe 1st the scene of one of the most resaarkable struggles known in tbe history of that or of any other municipality. More violent events, doubtless, have been witnessed, but seldom has so lively a game ofpolitical cheat been played in New York. Two boards wart) eon- tending tor the possession of office and of tbe City Hall—one elected last November and tbe old hoard, which wont out yester- day hut which was to have been reanpointod under the charter by the Mayor. The old beard, suspecting that Mayor Hall proposed "to go back on them,*' determined to im- peach him, and then, ingactiuK Mayor, to receive tha oath of of- fice and their appointment from aim. They carried out their programme so ntr; but Mayor Hall learning it determined to cheek- • a t e them. BaUavinL his oMigtlioAS by this action ha Cosantiasionerof Pontic Works them from tha Council admlntscared tha oaths to "new board," ttMagtvissj tawat a to their seats. The new ized as a Board of Supervisors. It declared vcMsbe tMUtm ei tor the Mr. Richard B. Connolly, tha attw.wtohMlMaahi Ltssastr! tentivety believed, have controlled Itgwlation. The Legislature cannot evade this injury without subjecting itself to the imputation of conscious guilt. The views of the Governor in regard to tbe reform of our State Government arc interest- ing. Their general aim is to concentrate official responsibility and ensure accounta- bility. He would have the Executive select the Secretary of State and Attorney-General and fane other State officers; place the canal* under a sinaje control: make the In- spection of State Prisons the duty of tbe Executive tborugb a single agent, to be ap- B iinu-d by him. He regards the office of istrict Attorney not as a county but as a Stole office—institutedfortlie prosecution of justice in tbe name of the people of tbe State, and the tenure of which should be so chang- ed at to lift it above tbe pactions and preiu- dices of a locality. The Legislative body should be reorganized—the Senate chosen from Ijirtn districts, and the house by coun- ties. These are radical changes, and will ex- cite much discussion. The mode by which tbe amendments a n to be made is through a commission appointed by law, which is to report to the Legtalatore of 1S73, when, if accepted and concurred In by the Legislature ef74, the smendmento will be stdwnJtted to the popular vote. There will thus be fall timefor_deUberation and discussion before cnangM are elKrjicttr It is well that the Governor has thus direct- ed attention to questions of home govern- ment. New York has grown to be a great State—equal to Holland. Belgium, to Portu- gal, to Sweeden and Norway. Its political revision. The Coaetitatien of ISiS, alining at the dm*ueion of po< ated some confusion of responsibility. It did a great work in protecting the public credit, and placing limitations on tbe legisla- tive powertocreate debt. These provisions have proved a shield to the people; and the Governor would extend them overtownsand municipalities, now endangered by tbe rage for speculative enterprises carried on by pub- lic means. Tbe views of tbe Governor will excite dis- cussion, and elicit differences of opinion. But nowhere will such differences exist as to the ability with which these views are pre- sented, or the patriotic feeling which prompts them. DEATH OF JAMES H. HACKETT, THE ACTOR. James H Hackettt, the celebrated Shak- sperian actor, died at Samaica, Long Island, on Thursday last week. He was born in New York in March, 1800. He early exhibited a fondnessforthe stage, joining an amateur Dramatic Association at Jamaica when a mere boy, and making hfeftmt public appear- ance at Newark, N. J., with a traveling com- pany, in 1831, under the atwmied name of Atung. Shortly after this be engaged in mercantile pursuits, and in 1819 he married Miss Catherine Iinssing, who was then play- ing tbe part of Jesse Oatland at the Park Theatre, but retired from tbe stage on her marriage, returning to it again in company with her husband. Mr. Hackett made his first appearance in New Hork at tbe Park Theatre, in March, 1886, in the character of Justice Woodcock, in Love in a Village. In 1329 he became manager of the Bowery and Chatham Theatres. In 1828,1833,1845, and again in 1851, he appeared in England with great success. In 1829 he was joint mana- ger with Mr. Niblo of the Astor Place Opera House, at the time of tbe Astor Place riot. In J854 be was concerned in the manage- ment of the Grisi and Mario troupe, on their tour in tbis country. Mr. Hackett was the first to introduce "Yankee" characters on the stage, but was perhaps best Known by his Falstaff in so much that be was not un- frequently spoken of as 'FalstafT' Hackett. Mr. Hackett was tbe father of Recorder Hackett. From Correspondence of the New York Sun. A Centonerian in Florida. CLEAB WATCH HABBOB, FUV, Dec. 25. I notice in some of the papers that Wm. Manning, 102 years eld, is living in St. Au- gustine. This is a mistake. He is living with Mrs. Mary Turner in this place. He saya he has not been iu St Augustine for fifty years. Mr. Manning was born in Ath- lon*, Ireland, in August, 1769. He had a son in New York, Henry Manning, who if now alive, would be seventy years of age. The old man served in tbe war of 1813, and re- ceived a wound in his right leg at the battle of Plattsburgb, which made him a cripple for life. He enlisted in Balthvore, Md. His health is good and bis eyesight unimpaired. He can sew, make bats and cast nets. His memorytogood, and be talks intelligentiy on almost every topic of public interest. J. D R . THE HORRORS OF HAVANA. Further particulars of tbe recent murder of the young students in Havana are coming out, little by little. It it well known to-day iu that city that at first only four of the lads were condemned to death, but the coot siderod that number too small. So little blood would not suffice to quench the thirst of tbe bowling mob ontside, and it was de- terminedtodraw four more by lot. It so happened that tbe two Bermudez brothers were drawn. One ot tlie Judges. Apolinar del Rato exclaimed: This to hor- rible! How can we snatch two , from one mother?" anelone of the Bermudas brothers was condemned to death, to other to tbe chain-gang. Young.Verdugo, who was shot, was with his mother at the church of Nostra Seneca del Pilar when the supposed desecration of the graves too place, and another victim, tbe Utile fohow Lferay Medina, was with bis family in " Dcax ALEXIS SWISDLCD AT NIAOABA. —If evidence were wanting that princes are hot human it aright be realized from the treatment the Grand Duke Alexia received st the bands of a second clam hotel keener at Niagara Falls.

The girl, it in a precarious condition. Tbe excitement over the sftair is great, and threats are free- ly made against the life of tbe negro, whose name is Howard. RoCHKwncn, N.

They were foiled by tbe sheriff and police. The military are now assemblingforthe pro- tection of the jail. RooiiESTKB, N. Y., Jan. 2.—The excite- ment over tbe outrage has not abated. There is now an immense crowd about the Jail, and they are frantic over tbe report that tbe Utile girl bad died of her injuries. The evening papers are out with the evi- dence against Howard. It it conclusive and leaves no doubt that he is the man who com- mitted the dreadful outrage. The police are at the jail and the miUtary are assembling at the arsenal. Attacks are made by roughs and others os unoffending negroes, who appear on tbe streets.

Grant's Civil Service Message Humbug.

Grant hurries up his Civil Service in the bone that be may cover up tome of the mistakes made by bis spokesmen in the Sen­ate. He not only comes too late, but his message amounts to nothing, lor be admits

««.. .«««* w « ,« . .« , » » . « - ~ . t h » t h e to *li**«T possessed of the power to I am at a loss to understand j correct the evils complained of by the coun-

Senator Logan said: " As to the organiza­tion of rhe committee, it is peculiar. When the Senate divided on this question of inves­tigating tbe public service, twenty four Sen­ators voted for the proposition and thirty-five against i t But when it comes to the ap­pointment of tbis committee, six members are taken from the thirty-five and only one from the twenty-four. O/ course there wa* no design in this."

THE FRESCO FINANCES AKD THE FnExen ASSEMBLY.—Tbe French Assembly on Fri­day of last week was more than usually long. The main question before the house was the augmenting of the circulating medium of the Bank of France. The discussion took a wide range, and on several occasions President Thiers found it necessary to mount tbe tri­bune. Some of the members had spoken vi­olently regarding the insolent and intolerant threats ot the Germans; but President Thiers, amid the uproarous applause of the house, made an end of that part of the debate by declaring that silence was the best reply to the harsh words of Bismark. The President, in tbe course of the debate, declared himself opposed for tbe present fiscal year to burden­ing the people with fresh loans. The result of the debate was that the Assembly voted to increase the note circulation of the Bank of France by four hundred millions of francs. The Assembly now stands adjourned until the 3d of Janury. A more decided course or policy may commence with tbe new year.

' BLOOD THIRSTY ORDER.

From a document received at Havana on i the 27th, from Clenfuegoes. it is considered I doubtful that Dr. Howard, sentenced to im-i prisonment for sympathy with the rebels, is ! an American.

In tbe recent engagement near Manzanil-lo, tbe Spanish Colonel O'Bregon was killed.

1 A BLOOD TiUBSTY PROCLAMATION.

He bas all the while been in possession of ample power, but tbe time has not seemed fully ripe for the correction of the abuses which have made tbe New York Custom House a stench in the nostrils of our mer­chants. He has had ample power to prevent the employment of unfit men because o* their value in Ward caucuses, and in the manipu­lation of State Conventions; to dismiss the shameless officials who made active work from their subordinates for a Senatorial fac­tion tbe sole condition of remaining in the service of the government; to abolish tbe General Order swindle; to make merit and not Senatorial recommendationa tbe test for appointment Well, we are sorry it hat not been sooner discovered; but we can pardon much, if onlynow tbis power be judiciously exercised. Here in New York we have needed an imposing Civil Service Commission and months of stately deliberation to find out that all these things were within the President's absolute control; that his Col­lector was using patronage to control conven­tions, and his Collector*! subordinates were accepting bribes only because they were not made to see that such things would cost them their official beads; that a word from him would, at any time, have enforced a reform. Let us now, at least, be thankful for the promise that on tbe 1st of January, 1872, that word is to be spoken.

Meantime, what does Mr. Morton, who de­clares we already have the best civil service in the world, think of these tardy efforts for its reform ? Shall we hear his eloquent voice thundering against a message that savors what he has been pleased to call tbe creation of an aristrocacy in office? What does Mr. Conkling think of the President's haste to lay before Congress his scheme for reforming a service which the Senator, a week ago, be­lieved to require not even investigation? How do all these self-elected spokesmen of tbe Administration feel at the President's haste to let Congress and the country know that instead of being fairly represented by their foolish opposition to investigation, be has wanted such reform of tbe flagrant evils Messrs. Schurz, Trumbull and Sumner have exposed as shall reform them altogether?— It is too soon to rejoice over the civil service propositions, till we have bad time to see what they are; but we may already take com­fort in tbe practical snub the President has given the Senatorial zealots who have wrought such mischief by their pretence of representing him.

EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.

Capture of the City Hall By the Re­formers.

The City Hall of New York was on tbe 1st the scene of one of the most resaarkable struggles known in tbe history of that or of any other municipality. More violent events, doubtless, have been witnessed, but seldom has so lively a game ofpolitical cheat been played in New York. Two boards wart) eon-tending tor the possession of office and of tbe City Hall—one elected last November and tbe old hoard, which wont out yester­day hut which was to have been reanpointod under the charter by the Mayor. The old beard, suspecting that Mayor Hall proposed "to go back on them,*' determined to im­peach him, and then, ingactiuK Mayor, to receive tha oath of of­fice and their appointment from aim. They carried out their programme so ntr; but Mayor Hall learning it determined to cheek-• a t e them. BaUavinL his oMigtlioAS by this action ha Cosantiasionerof Pontic Works them from tha Council admlntscared tha oaths to "new board," ttMagtvissj tawat a to their seats. The new ized as a Board of Supervisors. It declared vcMsbe tMUtm ei tor

the Mr. Richard B. Connolly, tha attw.wtohMlMaahi Ltssastr!

tentivety believed, have controlled Itgwlation. The Legislature cannot evade this injury without subjecting itself to the imputation of conscious guilt.

The views of the Governor in regard to tbe reform of our State Government arc interest­ing. Their general aim is to concentrate official responsibility and ensure accounta­bility. He would have the Executive select the Secretary of State and Attorney-General and fane other State officers; place the canal* under a sinaje control: make the In­spection of State Prisons the duty of tbe Executive tborugb a single agent, to be ap-

Biinu-d by him. He regards the office of istrict Attorney not as a county but as a

Stole office—instituted for tlie prosecution of justice in tbe name of the people of tbe State, and the tenure of which should be so chang­ed at to lift it above tbe pactions and preiu-dices of a locality. The Legislative body should be reorganized—the Senate chosen from Ijirtn districts, and the house by coun­ties. These are radical changes, and will ex­cite much discussion. The mode by which tbe amendments a n to be made is through a commission appointed by law, which is to report to the Legtalatore of 1S73, when, if accepted and concurred In by the Legislature e f74 , the smendmento will be stdwnJtted to the popular vote. There will thus be fall time for_ deUberation and discussion before

cnangM are elKrjicttr It is well that the Governor has thus direct­

ed attention to questions of home govern­ment. New York has grown to be a great State—equal to Holland. Belgium, to Portu­gal, to Sweeden and Norway. Its political

revision. The Coaetitatien of ISiS, alining at the dm*ueion of po< ated some confusion of responsibility. It did a great work in protecting the public credit, and placing limitations on tbe legisla­tive power to create debt. These provisions have proved a shield to the people; and the Governor would extend them over towns and municipalities, now endangered by tbe rage for speculative enterprises carried on by pub­lic means.

Tbe views of tbe Governor will excite dis­cussion, and elicit differences of opinion. But nowhere will such differences exist as to the ability with which these views are pre­sented, or the patriotic feeling which prompts them.

D E A T H OF J A M E S H. HACKETT, T H E ACTOR.

James H Hackettt, the celebrated Shak-sperian actor, died at Samaica, Long Island, on Thursday last week. He was born in New York in March, 1800. He early exhibited a fondness for the stage, joining an amateur Dramatic Association at Jamaica when a mere boy, and making hfeftmt public appear­ance at Newark, N. J., with a traveling com­pany, in 1831, under the atwmied name of Atung. Shortly after this be engaged in mercantile pursuits, and in 1819 he married Miss Catherine Iinssing, who was then play­ing tbe part of Jesse Oatland at the Park Theatre, but retired from tbe stage on her marriage, returning to it again in company with her husband. Mr. Hackett made his first appearance in New Hork at tbe Park Theatre, in March, 1886, in the character of Justice Woodcock, in Love in a Village. In 1329 he became manager of the Bowery and Chatham Theatres. In 1828,1833,1845, and again in 1851, he appeared in England with great success. In 1829 he was joint mana­ger with Mr. Niblo of the Astor Place Opera House, at the time of tbe Astor Place riot. In J854 be was concerned in the manage­ment of the Grisi and Mario troupe, on their tour in tbis country. Mr. Hackett was the first to introduce "Yankee" characters on the stage, but was perhaps best Known by his Falstaff in so much that be was not un-frequently spoken of as 'FalstafT' Hackett. Mr. Hackett was tbe father of Recorder Hackett.

CLEAB WATCH HABBOB, FUV, Dec. 25. I notice in some of the papers that Wm.

Manning, 102 years eld, is living in St. Au­gustine. This is a mistake. He is living with Mrs. Mary Turner in this place. He saya he has not been iu S t Augustine for fifty years. Mr. Manning was born in Ath­lon*, Ireland, in August, 1769. He had a son in New York, Henry Manning, who if now alive, would be seventy years of age. The old man served in tbe war of 1813, and re­ceived a wound in his right leg at the battle of Plattsburgb, which made him a cripple for life. He enlisted in Balthvore, Md. His health is good and bis eyesight unimpaired. He can sew, make bats and cast nets. His memory to good, and be talks intelligentiy on almost every topic of public interest.

T H E HORRORS OF HAVANA.

Further particulars of tbe recent murder of the young students in Havana are coming out, little by little. It it well known to-day iu that city that at first only four of the lads were condemned to death, but the coot siderod that number too small. So little blood would not suffice to quench the thirst of tbe bowling mob ontside, and it was de­termined to draw four more by lot.

It so happened that tbe two Bermudez brothers were drawn. One ot tlie Judges. Apolinar del Rato exclaimed: T h i s to hor­rible! How can we snatch two , from one mother?" anelone of the Bermudas brothers was condemned to death, to other to tbe chain-gang.

Young.Verdugo, who was shot, was with his mother at the church of Nostra Seneca del Pilar when the supposed desecration of the graves too place, and another victim, tbe Utile fohow Lferay Medina, was with bis family in "

tbe town of Brigbtoa.bavtttg to cross on the ice of the canal, river and feeder, to do so. She sought refuge in a bo its where her con­dition was ascertained, snA word sent to tbe police. Tbe girl gave such i description of the scoundrel as to enable the police to sus­pect who be was, and be was captured tbis morning at the bouse of a relative in tbe town of Penneld. He was at once brought to tbe city and taken before tbe girl, who identified him. The people made an attempt to lynch him, but the police fought them off using their revolvers In doing so. The girl, it in a precarious condition. Tbe excitement over the sftair is great, and threats are free­ly made against the life of tbe negro, whose name is Howard.

RoCHKwncn, N. Y., Jan. 2.—The excite­ment over the outrage committed upon tbe little white girl by a negro named Howard, is very great Tbis forenoon a mob of four or five hundred people went to tbe jail and attempted lo break In and kill the prisoner. They were foiled by tbe sheriff and police. The military are now assembling for the pro­tection of the jail.

RooiiESTKB, N. Y., Jan. 2.—The excite­ment over tbe outrage has not abated. There is now an immense crowd about the Jail, and they are frantic over tbe report that tbe Utile girl bad died of her injuries.

The evening papers are out with the evi­dence against Howard. It it conclusive and leaves no doubt that he is the man who com­mitted the dreadful outrage.

The police are at the jail and the miUtary are assembling at the arsenal. Attacks are made by roughs and others o s unoffending negroes, who appear on tbe streets. It is feared that there will be an outbreak to-

'be Sheriff and his aid stand firm and are determined to uphold the law.

—The War in Mexico is still going on, in spite of the lecent assertion of the Juarex government that the backbone of the rebel­lion has been broken. According to special despatch from Matamoros tbe town of Mier has been captured by the revoution-ists under Quiroga, tbe government troops falling back without resistance. This is an important victory for the revolutionists and a great blow to the guiaiamunt of Juarez.
