LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
.Some Figures of Intercut to the Colored
Voters of the state.
Live Oak, Fla., October 5, 1870.
Editor Morning News:
Why was the South reconstructed?
Why were States re established after tho
war ? Can’t anybody almost tell why ?
I don’t think it would bother anyone to
tell that knows how keen a carpet bagger
is after taxes. We will, for the sake of
illustration, take the case of tho little
county of Taylor, which was cut off of
the county of Madison before tho* war.
In this little county the assessed value of
taxable property was $203,283, and the
State and county tax levied upon this
amount was $773 01,in the year 1800. In
the year 1875 the assessed value of taxable
property in Taylor county was $121,111,
and on this amount the levy of State and
county tax was $5,870 50. There is no
disputing these figures—they are official
—and this is one of the whys and where
fores that a State government was or
ganized in Florida: it was to rob the peo
ple of Taylor county. This is the case
with all the other counties in the State.
About twenty times as much tax is being
collected out of the people on less than
one-half the property since the organiza
tion of a State government after the war
as there was previous to that time. In
the year 1873 six hundred thousand dol
lars was received at the State Treasury in
taxes, and near five hundred and twenty
thousand dollars was paid out, leaving a
balance of near eighty thousand dollars
that seems to have dropped out of sight.
I havo heretofore shown that one-sixth of
the people’s property had been taken
from them in taxes in Suwannee county
iu less than seven years, and this will be
found true of all the rest or worse.
It 19 clear to my mind that the purpose
of reconstruction was to make profit out
of the people of the State. This is mani
festly true, as tha Slate government for
many years previous to the war had been
managed on less than one hundred thou
sand dollars a year, and the people car
ried on a war with the Seminole Indians,
a portion of the time, from 1845 to 1860.
This government for piofit could not bo
maintained a moment were it not for the
negro vote. A sufficient number of white
men could be kept away from the polls,
and these absentees, with such as were
willing to join a party which was being
run for profit, have enabled a minority of
negroes to saddle this contrivance upon
the people of the State for ten years.
This has been a corrupt bargain be
tween the negroes and the whites who
have joined them, the terms of which
was to screen the negroes from deserved
punishment for crimes that are too
shocking to talk about, if they would
uphold and sustain those who designed
to make money out of the people by
means of taxation, and send their chil
dren to school.
The tegro was to be screened from de
served punishment and have his children
educated at the expense of the people, if
he would go to the polls and vote for
those who were willing to do these things:
these latter were to make money out of
the proceedings. Such is the character
of the government of the Slate, and the
reason for reconstructing it. Well, now,
let us see how well this bargain has been
adhered to, and who has departed from
it. Out of the Freedman's Bank at Jack
sonville the following sums of money
were stolen from the negroes by Repub
licans :
O. B. Hart, Republican, took... .$ 5,400 00
E. H. Reed, Republican, took.... 1,042 00
F. A. Dockrav, Republican, took 0,514 00
Milton S. Litilefied, Repub., took 11,422 00
E. M. Cheney, Republican, took.. 2,088 00
J. J. Holland, Republican, took.. 2,185 00
F. E. Little, Republican, took. ... 7,653 00
vV. L. Coan, Republican, took.... 1,010 00
C. L. Mather & Co., Repubs., took 8,514 00
Allen & Farrar, Republicans, took 21,343 00
C. L. Mather, Republican, took. 34,202 00
$101,442 CO
The Republicans who have entered
into this bargain with the negro raco in
Florida, have broken their engagement so
far as to steal one hundred and one
thousand four hundred and forty-two
dollars in hard cash from the negroes
that’s what they have done, and the
negro proposes to stick to the contract
aud let them steal more, if they can find
it Fioubes.
The Statue of Christopher Columbu*.
Philadelphia, October 6.—The corner
stone of the Christopher Columbus mon
ument was laid at 11 o’clock to-day at the
site on Fountain avenue, near the junc
tion with Belmont avenue, within the
Centennial grounds. The Christopher
Columbus Monument Association were in
attendance, as also a large number of
prominent citizens interested in the
movement. In the corner-stone were de
posited the Philadelphia and New York
daily papers aud a manuscript account of
the organization of the association.
The erection of the base was begun at
once, and at an early hour in the after
noon was in position. The statue arrived
soon afterwards, and the labor of unpack
ing was began immediately. It will pro
bably be raised to its place to-morrow
morning. All the arrangements for the
ceremonies of rnvailing the monument
on Thursday next have been completed,
and will doubtless result in an occasion of
exceptional int-erpst..
At nine o’clock the Monument Ysso
ciation, the Bersogbiri, a military organi
zation of New York, the Italian Beneficial
Society, of Philadelphia, deleg&tiong
of Italian societies from Baltimore, New
York and Boston, and representatives of
the Italian colony in Philadelphia, will
march through the city. The me will
be reyiewed by the Mayor, and at the site
of the monument addresses will be de
livered by Alonyo M. Yde and Rev. A.

Pleasanton (Tex.) Journal: A Mexi
can circus was performing at Brackett,
in an uncovered circle of canvass, near a
number of overhanging trees, and a lot
of people were stealing a sight of the
show comfortably seated m the branches
of the trees. One act was a very excit
ing one, in which a pistol had to l e used,
*nd the actor, ftuding himself without
one, borrowed a six shooter from a cow
boy. At the first fire one plan in a tree
was hipped, and the consternation be
came so great as to break up the show.
The Mexican was not lynched.

OHIO ELECTION.
Cleveland, October 11.—The election has
been quiet, aud a largo vote was polled.
The entire returns are not yet in, but there
is enough to indicate that the entire Repub
lican ticket is elected by a majority ranging
from 1,50U to 2,500. Townsend (Republican'
is elected to Congress by 3,000 majority.
Columbus, O., October 11, 1:30 a. m.—
Returns from 710 townships and wards of
Cleveland, all of Columbia aud Dayton,
shows Barnes gains 9,915. Bell gains 8,255,
a net Republican gain of 1,660. Nothing
official from Cincinnati. The Democrats
hav- probably elected Congressmen in the
1st, 2d, 4tfi, 5th, 7tli, 12th, 13th and 14th.
The Republicans bave carried the 3J, 6th,
8th, 0th, 10th, 11th, 15th, 17tb, 18th, 19th
and 20th districts, or 12 out of 20.
Cincinnati, October 11, 2 a. m.—The
Democrats elect the county ticket by 700 to
I, 000 majority. Saylor, for Congress from
First District, has about 1,000 majority.
New York, October 11.—A Herald special
from Cincinnati says Alex. Sands, chief
editor of the Times, Republican, Bays he
fears that Barnes has dropped fully 8,000
behind bis ticket, which gives the State to
Bell.
J. A. McMahon, Democrat, for Congress
from the Fourth District of Ohio, telegraphs
to the Tribune that his election is conceded
by 5,000 majority.
Columbus, October 11.—Since the last re
port fifty-six precincts out of eighty-six in
Hamilton county, considerably reduce the
Republican gains. Counting these, and five
wards fiom Cleveland aud Dayton complete,
show total gaius for Barnes of 12,039, Beil
II, 274, a Republican gain of 765 over Hayes’s
majority. Me ahon (Dem.) is re-elected in
the third district, probably. Matthews beats
Banning in tho third. Boj’nton (Rep.), for
the Supreme Court, is thought to be certain
ly elected.
Later.—It is stated that Matthews beats
Banning 5 votes.
Dayton, Ohio, October 11.—Montgomery
county, Ohio, gives 1,300 Democratic ma
jority; Drake county 5,000 Democratic ma
jority, probably; Greene, a Republican ma
jority of 1,900. Tii * vote is close, but it is
thought McMahon is elected.
Cincinnati, October 11.—Complete re
turns from Hamilton emuty give Bell,
Democrat, fur Secretary of Sta<e, ^8,662;
Barnes, Republican, 27,634; Fink, Democrat,
for Judge of Supreme Court, 27,934; Born-
ton, Republican, 2,812; Clough, Democrat,
Bourd of Public Works, 28,019; Evaus, Re
publican. 27,451; Savler, Democrat, for Cou-
gress iu the First District, 14,099; Force,
Republican, 13.590; Banning, Democrat, for
Congress iu the Second District, 14,123; Mat
thews, Republican, 14,138. The Republicans
elect the Sheriff, County Clerk, Recorder
and Commissioner; the Democrats elect the
balance of the ticket. 'Jho Gazette charges
that the vote of this county of 55,996
against 48,597 in 1875 is an evidence of
fraud.
The Commercial says: The nnafc import
ant single iufi lenco has bsail that of the Is
raelites, who have almost unanimously voted
the Democratic ticket, and may be credited
with the result iu the Second District. It is
understood that the Republican Israelites
have generally succumbed to the argument
that Cincinnati has pul her capital iu South
ern railroads and must look out for South
ern trade.
The Enquirer says the result in Ohio is so
closo that nothing definite can be given this
morning. If the Republicans have carried
the State their majority is not likely to
reach beyond that of last year.
The Gazette estimates the Republican ma
jority in Ohio at from 5,000 to 8,000 and In
diana Republican by from 3,000 to 5.000.
Holman, for Congress, is probably defeated.
The Republicans claim a gaiu of perhaps
ten and certainly eight Congressmen in Ohio
aud Indiana.
Columbus, O., October 11, 9:30 a. m
Returns indicate tho election of Barnes,
Republican, for Secretary of State, by a
small majority. Boynton, for Judge of tho
Supreme Court, will have a much larger
majority.
Cincinnati, October 11.—The Democrats
clann a miscount iu the Banning and Mat
thews votes, which would give Banuing 95
majority, but thi3 cauuot bo discovered in
tlic tables now at baud. According to re
turns at hand Matthews has 5 majority.
Columbus, O., October 11.—Further re
turns from the country show continued
Republican gains, which still k^ep Barnes
somewhat ahead of the gains made by Bell
iu the large cities. It now appears that if
the same ratio is kept up in the remaining
half of the country, the Republican gains
will more than afftet the loss in Cuyahoga
county, and make the Republican majority
in the State about 7,000.
John G. Thompson, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, concedes the
State to the Republicans. The election of
Matthews, Republican, for Congress, over
Banning, m the Second District, leaves the
estimate of the result in the Congressional
districts the same as given last night,
namely: Republicans 12, Democrats 8, a
gain of 5 Republican Congressmen.
The suminarizid return from Hamilton
county shows that Boynton, Republican,
candidate for Supremo Court Judge, runs
ahead of Barnes nearly 900 votes and carried
the county by 16L.Boyuton also runs ahead of
Barnes iu Cuyahoga 400 votes. The Re
publican majority iu Cuyahoga county on
the Secretary of State is 3,227; on Supreme
Court Judge 362.
Cincinnati, October 11.—Tho Times
Columbus special says Governor Jool Parker,
of New Jersey, who is in Colqinbus, cou-
ceedos the State ta the Republicans by 4,000
majority. Tho report of tho Executive
Committee claim 5,000 majority for Barnes.
Bets offered on 5,000 for Barnes.
Columbus, Ohio, October 11.—Clark
county gives a Republican majority of 550 ;
Warren county 51; Highland county 305 ;
Lawrence county 13-3. Every county in Gar
field’s District shows R ‘publican gaius.
Columbus, O., October 11.—Only about
half a doz-u additional returns have been
received since the last report. These ren
dered the ne‘t gains of Bell (Democrat) for
Secretary of Stato to be 708 over the gains
for Barn98, leaving Barnes’s majority 4.834,
with nearly one-half of the country precincts
to hear fiom. The majority for Boynton
(Republican) for Supreme Judge is 6,400.
INDIANA ELECTION.
New York, October 10.—The Herald's
special dispatches say the estimated vote of
Indianapolis over that polled in tho election
of 1874 stands, 2,550 Republican and 2,340
Democratic, which is a 1qs3 ?q the Republi
cans. The county of Marion has gone Re
publican by 500 majority, a falling off of
1,200. The Germans went almost solidly for
the Democratic ticket. Dispatches from
Hendricks, Hancock, Bartholomew and
X-'ioyd show Republican gains.
New Albany, October JQ.—There is a
largely increased vote aud Republican gains,
Henry county gives 1,800 majoiity for tbo
Republicans.* Returns received from Co
lumbus indicate the return of the Green
back vote to the party line, notably in Ma
honing aud Allen counties. Should this
return ^one-ral of the Greenback vote, it
carries the election of the Republican candi
date, McKinley, for Congress, iu the Seven
teenth djstript, aud makes absolute cer
taintv of the election » f ex-Governor Cox in
the Sixth District. So far RjfCes has not
f2,llep much behind his ticket.
India nANOLis, October 11, 2 a. m.—Re
turns irom forty-one townships, and wards
of twenty-eight counties, give 45 Re
publican majority. The same places in
*1874 gave a Democratic majority of 537, and
in 1872 a Democratic majority of 410.
ToLtivo, October 11.—The majority re
ported for the Stato ticket is 705; fur Cox,
for Congress, 850. The vote is tbj Icr^est
ever polled in Lucas county. * Wree gives
thb Republican Etp.te ticket 1,400 majority.
Cox is undoubtedly elected over Hurd, the
present iLcumbent, by l,i0S to MfiQ ma-
joriiy.
fspi*NAPOLis, October 11. — Forty-font
preciocts thus far heard from give net gaius
for Williams 443, aud for Harrison 939 on the
vote of 1874.
Terbe Haute, October 11.—There will be
no official returns from here to-Digbt. It is
estimated that O. P. Davia, Greenback nom-
ineojor Congress in this Di8trict,carried thie
county, aud Williams, for Governor, leads
Harrison in the county by 400.
Indianapolis, October 11.—Sixty towns
and wards in 34 counties, give a Republican

its usual Democratic majority of 100. Tayler
county, heretofore strongly Democratic,
gives *300 Republican majority. Two town
ships in Wetzil show Republican gains.
Cameron township, in Marshall county,
shows a Republican gain of 105 over the vote
of 1874. Three townships in Berkley county
give 260 Democratic majority, a Democratic
gain of 250. Mtson county, partial returns
indicate about 150 Republican majority.
Jefferson county •Hves about 800 Dcmccratic
majority. Greenbrier county gives aD in
creased Democratic majority. Mineral
county gives a heavy Democratic majority.
Wood county gives about 250 Democratic
majority. No returns bave been received
Jrorn Ohio county, but it is supposed to be
carried by Goff, Republican, for Governor.
These reports aie from private sources,
aud official returns may entirely change
them. Adjacent townships in Ohio county
show heavy Republican gains.
WHAT THE PRESS 8AY8.
New York, October 11.—This morning’s
Tribune says Indiana is carried by tho Re
publicans, though tbe vote is close. Harri
son leads the ticket everywhere and is prob
ably elected. Holman, Democrat, id de
feated for Congress. O8io returns are more
definite, both parties claiming tho State.
The Republicans have made gains iu nearly
all the sections.
Tho World says; Detained returns are
coming in from Indiana. The indications
invariably are that the Democrats have car
ried the State by 10,000 to 20,000. Tho Dem
ocrats fully hold their own iu the Congress
ional districts.
In Ohio heavy Democratic gains from
cities quite overcome the narrow majority
for Hayes last year. Unless tho rural Re
publican vote is much larger than is expect
ed the State is sure for tho Democracy by
from 3,000 to 5,000.
The Times says Ohio reports that the
Republicans have carried the State by at
leaat 7,000 and at reast twelve of twenty
Congressmen. In Indiana Harrison is pro
bably elected Governor. The rest of the
ticket is probably defeated. Scattering re
turns indicate that tho Republicans elected
eight of thirteen Congressmen.
Returns from West Virginia are not suffi
cient to indicate tho result.
New York, October 11.—Tho Herald edi
torially says tho returns received iudic&te
that Ohio has been carried by tbe Republi
cans by a moderate increase over the ma
jority of 1875, and that Indiana has gone
Democratic by a majority somewhat less
than that of 1874. There has been no very
marked political change in either State, and
nothing in the returns is encouraging to
either party to hope that it will walk over
the course in the conteet for the Presidency.
THE EASTERN TROUBLE—DEATH OF THE
EX-8ULTAN.
London, October 11.—The death of tbo
ex-Sultan Murad is reported.
A Reuter telegram reports that tbe Turk
ish advance in Montenegro is chocked.
The Times, in its leading editorial, this
morning, says : “If it is true that an armis
tice has been granted, there is still a good
hope for peace, aud Turkey has placed h r-
self right. Should Servia refuse tho armis
tice, she would forfeit all claim to consider
ation. If this armistice is concluded there
will be sufficient lime for a patient and thor
ough consideration, and time is of incalcu
lable value ; for war, and war on a gigantic
scale, will certainly follow uuless some
scheme for good government in the pro
vinces of Turkey is guaranteed.”

Country Developed in a t»V Cent Suit.
The Fatal Plan Adopted by a Thief
to Escape from the Calaboose.—The
trains on the Sr. LDuis, Iron Mountain
and Southern railroads havo, during the
week, brought in large numbers of visit
ors to tbe Fair. Ou Wednesday evening
one cf the sleeping cars on the train
coming north was cut off at Walnut
ltidge, in Arkansas, in o nsequence of a
box taking tire from the friction, and a
porter was left in charge cf the car.
About du§k, while the porter was at
supper, somj thieves took a tie with
which they broke in a window of tbe
sleeping car, and crawling in, one of
them stole four blankets. During the
course of the evening the porter in
dulged freely in drinking round, and in a
state of exhilaration, one of them
bragged of the exploit, and men
tioned the name of a section hand as
having stolen the blankets, and at the
same time revealed the place where they
were concealed. This information coming
to Sheriff Bows, he immediately institu
ted a search, aud afeer recovering the
blankets, effected the arrest of the al
leged thief. In the place there is a sort
of primitive calaboose, composed of a
small building with a trap-window in the
gable-end, up to which prisoaors ascend
a ladder, and, after being let down into
the receptacle below, the ladder is taken
away. In this prison tho man who stole
the blankets was securely placed, but be
fore morning he planned a method of
escape. To effect this, he set fire to the
building, which being made of dry com
bustible material, burned very rapidly,
and before he could be rescued he was
burned to death—the victim of his own
reckless folly.
A Black Hills Incident.—He was
coming down Main street the other day
with a revolver in each bootleg, and just a
little topheayy, when q man happened to
rub against him in passing. Our blood
thirsty hero of the boots jumped off the
sidewalk, and flourishing a pistol aloft,
yelled : “Now, look yer, everybody in this
yer gulch ; look at me and crawl! I’m
Wild Cat Tip, from Bear Gulch. I didn’t
come to Deadwood to be insulted, so git
out here a half do^en of yer sons of guns
and form a line of battle, ’cause I can’t
Ijoldonto this yer hammer much longer ;
so trot ’em oqt.” About this time some
one in the crowd fired a pistol in the air,
and simultaneously a rotten egg struck
“Tip” between the eyes. Dropping his
revolver and throwing both hands in the
air, he yelled “I’m murdfred,” and fell
heavily to the ground. After he realized
just what had happened, he straightened
up, and broking around, exclaimed, while
he wiped the decomposed egg from his
face, “Now, boys, that’s a rough joke, but
J’ll stand it j I’U take it all, only let me
see the caupre of the gun what 6boots
eggs." Net gaining the desired informa
tion, he silently stole away.—Black Hills

In the trial of the case of Thaddeus
R. Ganung against The Mayor, Ac., be
fore Judge Larremore, in Part three of
the Supreme Court, New York, a curious
and romantic bit of history was present
ed by Mr- Stetson, Assistant Counsel to
the Corporation. The action was brought
to recover damages for raising the waters
of Lake Mahopac to such a height &" to
produce malarial fever, with which the
plaintiff was prostrated. The title to the
property upon the shore of the lake was
traced as far back as 1697. In that year
William III. granted to one Adolph Pnil-
lipse a large tract of land in the then
Province of New York, including the
present country of Putnam. The pro
perty then passed down through the Phil-
lipse family until the year 1754, when it
was the property of Mary Phillipse.
This was the young lady for whose hand
George Washington was a suitor on his
return from Braddock’s expedition, but
his addresses were not favorably met and
retired from the suit, and she married
Colonel Roger Morris. Naturally on the
breaking out of the Revolution she aud
her family espoused the cause of the
King, and their great property was for
feited to the State of New York. Iu
1781 the Commissioners of Forfeiture for
tho State sold the land in question to one
William Smith. Subsequently the heirs
of Mary Morris claimed the property, it
beiDg discovered that sho before marriage
had effected a marriage settlement by
which she and her husband took only a
life estate, remainder to her children and
of course the act of attainder did not
affect them. That claim came into the
hands of John Jacob Astor for £10,000.
This enterprising capitalist so pushed the
matter that in 1809 he obtained a dec ee
in his favor, and the Stite was compelled
to pay him the sum of $500,000 for a

field region where tho white population is
sparse.
In the latter armed bodies of
bearing State arms and amnHgiiMafc!
marc tied about for days whipping negro
men aud women most cruelly to compel
them to join in a labor strike. Some were
whipped almost to death. (See speech
of Thomas Hamilton, colored Republi
can, representative from Beaufort.) Iu
this instance there was resistance. Ar
rests were made aud the prisoners were
rescued; the posse of the Sheriff was
driven across the country and the law
defied.
The facts were officially represented to
the Governor, and he received appeals
from the sufferiug negroes, but under all
these circumstances no proclamation was
issued, because no political capital could
be made out of it. As to the riot in
Charleston, the Judge is absent, but we
cite Governor Chamberlain’s own state
ment in his letter of the 4 th inst. The
most trustworthy information seems to
fix the chief responsibility for causing
this riot upon the Republicans. In re

Shaw, of the Third Circuit, telegraphs :

To A. ('. Haskell, Chairman State Demo

In reply to your inquiry I have to say
that I am in no wise prepared to express
any just opinion upon the peace of tho
State, except so far as concerns the cir
cuit over which I have the honor to pre
side.
Since my appointment to the bench I
have been engrossed by my judicial
duties, which have been and are onerous,
ami they have left me neither time nor
inclination to become advised of particu
lar matters outside of my circuit. In the
Seventh Circuit, I am not aware of any
resistance to the process of the court.
Iq this county, where I have been hold
ing court for a week, an unusual quiet
prevails, and there seems to be a public
apprehension that the times are out of
joint, aud a general aDxiety that public
order shall be preserved.
Speaking for this circuit, I can only
say that, while tho public mind is, of
course, influenced by the ardor of the
campaign, I have not yet been confronted
by any organized or individual resistance
to the authority of the courts. The
good sense of the people, I hope,
will continue to preserve the public
peace.

Carolina:
Sib—I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 9th inst.,
making inquiries as to my knowledge of
lawlessness and violence existing in this
State, and I have to sav, in reply, that I
have been absent from home for more
than three months, and could only form
an opinion as to the eonditionof politioal
affairs by the reports in newspapers,
which led me to believe that the State
was not quiet.
Ten day8 ago I arrived at home and
found Columbia as quiet as any part of
the States I have been in while North.
In this city there is certainly no violence
or lawlessness; nor are the courts in any
way interfered with in the discharge of
their functions. I have no knowledge of
what has occurred in the counties re
ferred to by the Governor, viz ; Barnwell
and Aikon.
I have the honor to be, very respect
fully. your obedient servant,

At ten o’clock a. m.-jester,!ay Sergeant
Brothers, of the Ninth street station
house, with officers W. H. Devine, F. T.
Davis and John Logan, proceeded to the
east side of Lodge alley, between Sixth
and Seventh, to an old frame tenement
house inhabited by colored people, aud
going up into the second story arrested
the following named parties by virtue of
a warrant sworn out by officer Logan :
Mr. G. Kinney, aged twenty-four ; Pat.
Mullaney, aged twenty-one, proprietors
of the paper known as the “ Patrol;” H.
Vanvechten, a printer, who lives at 166
Elm street: Jesse B. Hart, of 50 Lodge
alley ; James A. Scott, of 110 West Sixth
street; Henry Springer, a newsboy, of
533 Walnut street, and H. Quinn, of 323
George street. The warrant for the ar
rest of Kinney and Mullaney reads as fol
lows:
“That on or about the 6th day of Oc
tober, 1876, tbe aforesaid did have in
their possession with intent to sell or give
away, and did sell and offer to sell, an
obscene, lewd, indecent and lascivious
publication known as and called the
Patrol.”
When the officers arrived at the “of
fice” one of the colored tenants ex
claimed, “Oh, Lord, de boys in blue has
come agin!’’ They found Vanvechten
and Kinney setting type—ihe others
doing nothing—had dropped in appa
rently by chance.
No resistance was made, but the boys
did some tall running to get out of the
way, but were unsuccessful. They were
marched in a body to the Central Police
Station and locked up. Scott and SpriDg-
er are held as witnesses. The charge
against Quinn is renting the place know
ing the same to be used as a publ cation
office of the “lascivious paper.” the
Patrol.
No bondsmen being ou hand the pris
oners were assigned to cells, and the keys
turned on them, after which officer De-
vine was dispatched to the office of the
United States Commissioner to acquaint
him of the fact of the arrest, the inten
tion probably being to prosecute them
under the law prohibiting tho sending of
obscene matter through the mails.—Cin

A Virginia Charlie Ross.—Farmville,
Va„ October 7.—No little stir was pro
duced yesterday among the news-mongers
here on the appearance of a boy who was
believed to be the long lost Charlie Ross.
Mr. P. A. Hubbard learned his history
over in Buckingham county, and finding
his age, resemblance to the photographs,
and statement given by him, to conform
so closely to advertisements so generally
circulated of the lost boy, brought him
here, telegraphed to Ross, Sr., and now
proposes to take him to Philadelphia in a
few days. The boy was carried to Buck
ingham by an old woman, who claimed
to be from Bedford. She died immedi
ately, and no information could be ob
tained in that county of such a character.
The boy recalls living iu a city, and hav
ing been stolen by two rough meo, who
ran him off in a top buggy. His coarse,
unkempt, uncared-for appearance make
it difficult to be satisfied with reference (o
him. Public opinion is greatly divided
on the subject of bis identity.—Richmond
Dispatch.
“I met a poor man the other day and
he began to speak about politics and the
hard times. When I said it was the high
taxes that made the times so bad, he
said, ‘How can that be, when I don’t pay
any taxes at all ?’ ‘Don’t you ?’ said I. ‘I
suppose you sometimes have to buy
clothing, don’t you ?” ‘Oh, no,’ he said;
‘I can’t afford to buy clothes.’ ‘But you
drink coffee or tea ?* ‘Oh, no; I’m too
poor to drink coffee or tea.’ [Laughter. ]
‘Well, then perhaps you buy a drink of
lager once in a while ?’ ‘Oh, no; I would
like a little, but I can’t buy it. [Laughter. ]
And, after saying this, he put his hand
in his pocket and pulled out an old wad
of tobacco, and with a self-complacent
air, as if he had cornered a man that
thought himself smart, he proceeded to
take a quid. ‘Ah,’said I, ‘you use to
bacco. Don’t you know that the govern
ment collects more tax off from that
article than almost any other ?’ I had
him there, and he looked as if he wished
he hadn’t taken that chew.”.— Judge
Barnard, of New York.
It was probably a quart of hot Scotch,

An observatory is to be built at the foot
of Niagara Falls, on the American side, to
enable visitors to view the cataract with
out dressing in water proof suits. The
proposed building will be one hundred
feet long by twenty-four feet wide. It
will be constructed principally of stone
and iron, aud will extend from near tbe
foot of the inclined railway to a point near
the entrance of the “Shadow of the Rock.”
The building will be erected on a massive
foundation of masonry. The walls will
be seven feet high and two feet thick.
The roof will be principally of iron and
will be arched. A hall ei^ feet wide will
rup through the length of the building.
Gn either side will be dressing rooms, ten
double and eighteen single. At the end
of the building next to the fall there will
be a parlor observatory. The entire end
of the building facing the fall will be of
heavy glass, affording to those within a
grand view of the fall, while being per
fectly protected from the spray.
The new tunnel being built under the
Thames is intended chiefly for the use of
about eight thousand workmen who have
to cross at that point, and who are often
detained by fog that stops the boats. It
will be an i i tube nine feet in diameter,
