Trr Vern In his ropIy 70 Mr.. Ciay's ru-
cent assault upon the Constitution in the U. S.
Senate, Mr.. Buchanan, said. in relation to the
veto power particularly, that he considered it
as but one of those checks of which our sys-
TEN Of Government furnishes SO many exam
amples. Mr.. Clay's principal argument, that
this was COVER, .ment in which the majority
should rule, and any thing in it which coun-
teracted the popular will should be removed,
would, said Mr.. b., apply with equal force TO
the existence Of the Senate Of the United States,
in which States, with less than one fourth the
population Of the Union, send majority of
the Senators, and who exercise the veto on
bills passed by the popular body Ten times
where the President exercises it once. We
should like TO know what those Wings who
prate so much about the right of majo:ities to
do what they please, will say to this!

Ma. EDITOR Dear Sir,-As swindling has
become one of the fashionable vices Of the
age; it may, perhaps, not be amiss to try to
keep pace with the spirit Of the times,' and
notice the progress of some Of those who have
embarked in that lucrative profession. About
| three weeks since stranger appeared in our
town, with letters Of introduction from Judge
WiIliams-recommending him as gentleman
intending to select residence in our neigh
| borhood. He gave his name as J. B. Willis.
and stated that he wished TO purchase mill
site. After visiting several in the vicinity for
that purpose, he finally made choice OF one
belonging to G.. Dwiggins. which he bargained
for--agreeing to pay $500; $3.50 of which
was to be paid in cash. He said, however,
that it would be necessary for him to go to
Davenport to get a GRAFT cashed-as his mon
ey was deposited in the Bank of the Northern
Liberties Philadelphia. He started for Da-
venport the day after he effected his purchase
borrowing from our friend Culbertson his
morse (weli known as the celebrated Mckee
mare,) some suspicion having been excited in
consequence of his long absence, an express
was despatched to Davenport to ascertain his
whereabouts. We only learned that he had,
absquatLated with the horse and $3.50 which
he had procured from Ebenezer Cook,sEsq,
as an advance OH draft purporting to be
drawn by the Delaware County Bank on the
Bank Of the Northern Liberties for $3.50. We
understand that he walked into the affections
of Murray g. Sanxay of Iowa City, (previous
to his arrival at our towr) about $500!
annex a description Of his person in order
that the public may be guarded against his
further attempts to practice upon their creduli-
~. Heis about IS years of age-about FIVE
feet eight inches in height--thick set--his first
appearance not possessing-and has double
row of upper front teeth. He wore Buffalo
overcoat. The horse he has stolen may serve
to detect him--being small bay mare, very
pretty formed--sprightly and ofgood action
with considerable racing ability.
Yours in haste,
w. H. r.
Upton, March, 1912.
CT Lest Judge Williams might be censured for
giving letters whereby the said Willis was enabled
to practice his rascality, we deem it proper to state
that he brought to the Judge highly COMPLIMENTS
~ letter OF introduction, purporting to be from an
Ex-Mcmbef Of Congress in Pennsylvania, upon
| whose word the Judge was justified in placing the
utmost reliance. The letter, we understand is SO
complete an imitation Of the handwriting Of his
friend, that a knowledge that he would give such
letter to no one not known to be q gentleman. md
the conduct Of the said Willis, are the only reason.
ne can find for pronouncing the letter a forperv-
Under such circumstances no blame can sttach 10
Judge Williams for the letters given the foroer.
We understand that Mr.. J. A. Parvin. Of thin
place. has also suffered BY tho scamp.

"A NEw DlscovERY.-We have-a letter be-.
fore US in the London A,hsneum, which des-
cr'bes "a new and extraordinary discovery
just made in Prussia, by which printed works
OF any kind can be copied with perfect accura-
cy, and copies multiplied with no farther ex-
Pense than the cost Of paper and press work.
The plan is kept q profound secret by the in
ventor; but he has demonstrated its efficiency
by copying two pages Of the London A,hB.
mum, which SO closely resemble the original
as to be scarcely dstinguishable from them.
BY the process it would appear, that old manu-
scripts can be accurately transferred, illumina-
ted copies Of ancient books initiated, books Of
all kinds reprinted in numbers, and with a
facility and correctness that almost exceeds
belief"
