decisive of the future.
Negotiations in first class paper continues to
be made at 9@1OHct. whilst of a certain class
maturing early in the fall, the banks are will
ling to take at 6.
The particulars of a very novel specimen of
swlndling were related to us several DAYS since
as having occurred in Charleston, S. c.; but we
torbore abiding to the matter in the expecta-
ton that the papers of that city would disclose
all the details. But nothing having appeared
in relation to the subject, we may as well state
the facts of the case. 1t appears that an indi-
vidual by the name of J. c.. Nichols, formerly
a shipmaster from Belfast, Maine, took up his
abode in Charleston this season, and having a
good opinion of cotton, bought moderately for
shipment to England, and passed bis bills with
shipping documents attached, principally thro'
one of the leading banks there. A fortnight
since, the parties holding the drafts were Motif
ed that they had been refused acceptance.
This led to inquiries, and to application at the
c~onsignees Of the Sarah Ann, the vessel on
which the cotton was shipped, ali in order,
The examination at once disclosed a most stu
pendous fraud. 1t appears that Nichols had
actually shipped 508 bales of cotton on the yes
sci, but by means of adroit forgeries, had sue
ceeded in passing off his drafts based on fcti-
t1ous bills of lading, purporting to represent
property on board to the amount of 1883 bales
or nearly 1900 more than the reality, being
equal to a money value of about $40, 900.
The process by which this piece Of r~ascality
was accomplished, was very simple. A num-
Der of small marks were shipped, say from go
to so bales of each, and bills Of lading SIGNED
accordingly, but the blank space in the docu-
ment was sufficiently large TO prefix two or
three hundred, so that an original shipment of
twenty bales or SO, was made to represent two
hundred and twenty or three hundred bales as
the case might be. In addition to this a par
eel OF thirty-one bales shipped on board of
the Royal Victoria was changed to 1911. and
ausht that is known to the contrary, there NAV
still be in existence some further evidence Of
the sagacity Of this new aspirant to financial
fame. Before leaving Charleston, Nichols left
instructions to pay over any balance that might
accrue from his shipments to lis wife, resident
somewhere at the north. It now turns out that
he went to Havana, having been actually seen
there ten days ago. In case he should attcnont
any similar operations there. the account we
have given above may prove Of some service
to him.

REGULATED AT HoME.-Full returns from
214 towns in New Hampshire have been re-
ceived, which show the following result:-for
governor: Metcalf, know nothing, 80, COS; Ba-
ker, democrat, 96,717; scattering 1869; only
IA towns remain to be heard from, but they
cannot alter the result. Of the 255 represen-
tatives known to be elected, only sixty four are
democrats. The know nothings carried the
three congressman, four Of the five councillors,
and ten Of the twelve state senators-perhaps
eleven! Thus have the people of New Hamp-

SENATORS IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANNA
TTON.-rhc Legislature Of California has adj
journed sine die, after about fifty balotings,
without electing successor to Senator Gwin,
and California is to b. added to the long list
of States that will go partially or entirely un-
represented in the Senate OF the United States
next winter. The seats of Petit, of lndi-
ana; Atchison, of Missouri, and Norris and
Williams, of New Hampshire, remain vacant,
like that of DR.. Gwin, their respective Legis-
latures beng unable to effect choice.
The remarkable popularity Of all these
cases, and one which ought not to be over
looked in these ssparlous times," is that every
one of these Senators voted for the Nebraska
and Kansas bills. Could not m nv more
Senators be named from the free States who,
If subjected to the test Of the ballot boxes,
would stand no better chance of re-clec-
tion?-[N.Y. Eve. Post.

new domestic novel now going through the
nress in New York. From the advance sheets
we cut few paragraphs descriptive of a
scene in temperance meeting, wherein the
wreck Of a man breaks upon the quiet Of the
assemblage by the following:
"Moral suasion to drunkards! it's no use,
and it's worse than no use. knOw 1t.
tell you am one of 'em. am, ! am? And
know
The whole room is startled into perfect
silence. 10 the pause the very fire seems to
hold its breath.
s.pve been drunkard these ten years.
You know it. You've seen me loafng about
your streets ten years, and you've had a
chance to try your moral suasion-and
amt the only chance God knows. Yes, and
you've tried 1t, too. You knowI used to
want to knock of. You haven't failed to
say kind words, and try your suasion. You
ali try it. The very man that selis me rum
saws. when he pours me out a glass, ssCome,
Jerry: you'd better not drink any MORE"
His profanity was terrible, but the equally
terrible earnestness of his speech suffered
noteven the Deacon to reprove it.
d"You think a ldrunkard neels persuading.
There's not drunkard in the state that's
worth saying--who doesn't wish two hours
out of every three, every day of his life that
be could knock off. They've got moral sua-
sion. What they want is help! help! Good
God. HELp!-FoRcE! FORCE! to back it upp'
"You've seen me-you see me every day
sitting round-loa6ng. You thought Eve
been asleep thinking Of nothing. OUTSIDE
Eve been dead as heap of ashes. Inside,
Eve been afre."
ssWhen mans q going to sell himself to
the devil, cool and easy-money down-and
wants to drive sharp bargain, like your
rumsellers. it may do to talk Of moral sua-
sion to him. But when the devils caught q
careless llow-and's got him tight in his
clutches-as he holds US, and we writhing
and squrming, then when you come along
and think you need moral suason to get US
away, you're fools. can see you're making
devils speeches, and | believe the Lords
sharpcr-sighted than am. If he pays any
attention to what goes on in temperance
meeting, he'll settle your arguments one of
these days. If God ever lets anything earth
ly into hell, it'll be rumselling. There'll be
no law ag,n' that business there, | tell
you. The devil knows what'll pay for IL
ccnsing, as we'll ms you. But you 90 on SELL
ing liquor, and talking about moral suasion.
Moral suasion! Good God! if any body needs
it, it's your ministers who darscn't preach
