The two great representatives Of "Young Eu-

of our Southwestern cities. Their mission hiher

reaped pretty considerable harvest Of dollars, with

FoRsEY's LErrER--A SUPPRESSED PASSAGE
The STOOL, PIGEON SYSTEM IN PoLIrIcs 1t is
now said that the copy of ForRey's renowned
stool pigeon letter, that was read in ooart on the
trial Of the Forrest case, and published in the news
papers, did not contain all the original; there was
one very curious passage about politics and the
Presidential election, which has not yet seen the
light and it is to be hoped that the editor of the
Boston Times will give the whole epistle instead
of the extracts already published. We would then
have opportunity of seeing its beauty in all pro.
portions, and in its different bearings, whether upon
divorces or politics. For all that we tell, the
political passage may contain directions for some
stool pigeon operation in reference TO some one of
the candidates for the Presidencg perhaps to
make him drunk, in order to pump out all his se-
crets and thus give Pennsylvania favorite SON.

This stool pigeon system is a very curious inven-
ton Ii was first brought to notice by the trials Of
the Drurys, father and son and One-eyed Taemp-
son, an extraordinary genius, its originator,
who also carried it through, and almost sent inno-
cent to prison. He laid his traps most artful-
ly; and in different community, and with loss
vgilant and less udepe press, he would in all
human probability have succeeded in his designs.
But after sundry and desperate attempts failing in
his mission. "OneEye' adroitly applied his own
system to himself and, swallowing poison in JAIL in
order to give justice the slip in this world went to
the other world, to carry on his vocation there.
This is the end of the stool pigeon system in
burglary what it may be in divorces and politics,
we have yet TO sec. 1t is the first time in the his
tory of the House OF Representatives that they have
get geaius-a Oneeyed Thorn pson--for their
Clerk; and thus far they seem to like the article.
AMERICAN ARTISTS AsseclATlos.-We publish
