The Evening Post says that Mr.. Hol-
brook, the accountant employed by the New
Haven Railroad Co. to ferret out the frauds
of Schuyler, is said to have traced every
fraudulently issued certificate from Schuyler
to its present possessor. The services of this
gentleman have been, we learn, secured by
the committee of investigation, now sitting,
into the affairs of the Erie Railroad.
The Chicago Democratic Press states
that the Agent of the Kansas Emigration So
city, was recently in that city making ar
rangements for procuring a number OF steam
engines to be shipped to Kansas to be used in
mills and manufactures.
1t is computed that the Mormons in
Great Britain number about 10000, at Utah
$4,000, and that not less than 10000 are scat
tered over Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin
and other Western States making in all one
hundred and fifty thousand belonging to this
singular sect.

The Latest whis Dodge.

The Wings of Massachusetts, despairing of
success under the banner of Washburn and
Plunkett, have within few days, started up
on new tack, with the hope and expectation
of securing the aid of the Know Nothings, to
accomplish their purposes.
JTpon the announcement Of the vote, in :he
recent Wing State Convention, whereby En-
orv Washburn was nominated as 4 candidate
for Governor, distinguished Boston Wing,
and wire puller remarked, "le Is all over with
us now, and our only hope Of SUCCESS IS in
getting majority of Wings into the Know
Nothing organization, IN order tRst ire may
c,atrol il and secure the State to the Wings.
The constantly increasing nnpopularity of
GOV. Washburn, even with men of his own
marty. banshes the last vestage of hope that
the Know Nothings can be made to swallow
him. and so there has been not little discus
sion rs to who should be the man. Various
asprants for the Office, have presented their
claims to the Managing Committee in Suffolk
county, where all the managing of the Wing
party dlAu II OtAS 80 -
about half dozen individuals, all of whom
were anxious to serve the State, would get
the nomination SO confident were the friends
of each that their fayorite had the strongest
claims upon the regular support of the party
and Of the new organization.
But while these movements were going for
ward, it so happened that Mr.. Ephraim NJ.
Wright, the present Wing Secretary of State,
conceived the idea that the Gubernatorial
chair would not be at all an uncomfortable
seat for himself, and being member of the
"Know nothing organization and good
wing to boot, he argued with himself that
now or never was the time for him. Accord
ingly, as we are informed, he has set to work
all the machinery that he can control of both
organizations, in order to Gust Gov. Wash
burn from his seat, and to take the reins of
power himself We are credibly informed
that his emisaries are abroad over the state, as
Plunkett would say, ''from the sands of Berk-
shire to the mountains of Cape Cod setting
forth the utter hopelessness of Gov. Wash
burns prospects of reelection, and urging
the necessity of concentration of Wing and
Know-Nothing votes upon man, who, they
say, has no antecedents, for friends or foes to
cavil at. The black ingratitude of an act like
this, towards his official associate, Governor
Washburn, and the mode he has taken to place
himself in an office for which he has snch fee
bic qualifications, show the character of the
man, and the meanness to which love of Of
fee will sometimes lead men. Of the politi-
cal antecedents of this wonld be Governor,
we may have occasion to say something here
after.

OUTRAGEOUS SHOOTING ANE BowIE-KNIFE
AFFAIR AT LEXINGTON, KY.-A WOMAN AND
TWO MEN WOUNDED. We learn from gentle
men from Lexington last evening, that most
disgraceful and bloody ARRAY occurred at the
Fair Ground. in the vicinity of that city yes
terday, in which negro woman, the property
Of DIR. Letcher, was shot in the mouth. Mr..
Thomas Ferguson was literally scalped with
a bowie knife i'll the hands of Mr.. Charles
Buford, and George H. Thomas of Mount
Sterling was shot in the thigh by Thomas
Buford Of Woodruff. The origin and partic-
ulars of this affair, as we are informed, are as
follows: Messrs. G.. H. Thomas and Thomas
Buford had regular fist fight in the morning
in which Thomas was worsted. He proceeded
to town and returned little after II O clock
to the fair ground, in the vicinity of the
ladies stand, surrounded by five hundred
people, where he again encountered his oppo-
nent, Buford, and drawing a revolver fred
four or six shots, one informant thinks six,
but the telegraph report says four, which were
returned by Buford with another revolver. In
the melee the negro girl was shot in the mouth
the ball passing out at the neck, infiicting n
very dangerous wound, and Thomas was shot
in the thigh. A second pistol was handed to
Thomas by Thos. Ferguson, when Charles
Buford drew a bowle-knife and fell upon
Ferguson, inficting a terrible cash on his
head, and it was thought his eye was cut out.
The shots were fired indiscriminately into the
crowd, chiefly women, and 1t was a miracle
that no one else was hit. John ]. Crittenden
and Governor Letcher were in close proximity
to the belligerents, and upon hearing the bull
lets whstling about their ears concluded the
parties were in earnest, and made hasty re-
treat from the scence of action. The ladies
were terribly alarmed at this outrage perpe-
trated in their midst, and the utmost conster-
nation prevailed among them forEsome time
