FOLLOWED SY tVIL FORTUNE. The Series of Misfortunes Pursuing Con gressman uosey. Washington, November 17.—The Critic to-day puolishes a history of the series of luUfortnnes which have overtaken Con gressman D txey. of Indiana, successor to the late Congressman Orth, and who had been c unted one of the wealthiest mem bers of the House. The first stroke came at the ontset of the Presidential campaign, He . was carrying an enormous deal in wheat, and was a heavy buyer. When the crash came his looses footed up about a quarter of a million of dollars. This must nave absorbed all of his ready resource*. Following this came his nomination to Congress against Judge Ward, of La fayette. Like all men of grest enterprise, are successful.

A year ago Major Doxey determined to erect a monument in his little home city. This he began at once in the form of an opera house. The be t architects and artists were employed and two months ago the finest play house of toe .sue in the United Slates was opened there amid great splen dor and eclat. It was a perfect little pal ace ol beauty and cost nearly 8100 000. It was not bmlr as an investment for profit, as opera houses in small cities never pay a profit. Tbe Laura E.

At three o’clock on Friday morning there was noth ing bat an excavation and four blackened walls to mark its monumental site. An incendiary fire in ao adjoining bull ing did the work.

His Suit to Mulct Ex-Secrstary McCul loch Falla After Eleven Years. N. Y. Sun. Soon after the civil war broke ont Mr. Gaxaway B. Lamar, the president of the Bank of the Re^nblifi.in this city, went South and took a' prominent part in the councils of the Southern Confederacy. In January. 1864, after the capture of Savan nah by General bherm&n, Mr. Lamar took the oath of amnesty under the proclama tion of President Lincoln. He was at this time president of • the Georgia Importing and Exporting Com pany, one of the com panies which had been engaged in running the blockade, and organized in aid of the Confederacy. In the spring of 1865, when Secretary of the Treasnry Hugh McCulloch was serving hi* first term, a treasury agent Florida seized 426 bales of cotton be longing to this company. He' seized it under the captured and abandoned prop erty act, alleging that the cotton had been purchased and brought together at that point for the purpose of running k through the blockade. About the same time a larger amount of cotton beloaging to Mr. Lamar was seized and confiscated in Geor gia. After the war Mr. Lamar brought suit the Court of Claims to recover the value __ the cotton seized in Georgia, and he re covered a verdict of over half a million. In regard to the Florida cotton, he claimed that, as he had taken the oath of amnesty, hie proj erty was free from Beiznre, and that this cotton belonged to him. He ap- that this cotton belonged to him. He ap plied to Major-General Foster, who was in command of the Florida department, for the return of the cotton, which was re fused. He then applied to Secretary Mc Culloch, and encountered another refusal. In 1873 lie brought salt in the United States District Court against Secretary McCulloch for the value of tho cotton, $110,000, with Interest. The case haa been dragging along for •leven years, bat was finally brought to trial in this city this week by united Kiatcs District Attorney Elihn Root, E, N.

Mr. Root then moved to dismiss and argued that, under the confiscated property act, plaintiff's remedy was in the Court of Claims, and no suit could be maintained against an officer of the government who acted under that act Mr. Dickerson spoke of tho seizure of the cotton as a grab game, and in reply Mr. R'jotsii-l if that was true, Sherman’s cap ture of Savannah was a grab game also. Judge Shippen granted the motion of Mr. Root and directed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. c will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United St Steamboat Sunk.
