GRIM Con AND ELoPEMENT.-Rather an ex-
citing and racy scene, says the Troy Budget,
occurred in our city last week. the particulars
of which have just been made public 1t
seems that man named Durgan, short time
ago, took up his residence here. He was from
Utica dentist by profession and took apart
ments at No. IL Sixth street, where he and his
pretended wife put up. One day last week a
brother of this Dugan came on here from U tea
and securing the services of an officer, said he
was in search of his wife, who had elope1 with
Dugan No. /. It seems that the two brothers
had married two sisters, but Dugan No.
thinking that his Brother had got the best of
the bargain, subsequently induced his sister
in-law to elope with him, leaving his own wife
behind for the tender mercies of Dugan No 2.
The latter was accompanied by the wife of his
brother, and after it was ascertained where
the guilty party was stopping here, the trio
Chat is the officer, Dugan No. 2 and the wife
of Dugan No. u at once repaired to the place
and found them together. Then was it that a
scene took place which we shall not attempt
to describe. Such cursing. and wailing and
crashing of teeth! 1t was thought by wit
nesses that pitched battle would ensue, but
the affair resulted in papers for divorce being
served by the officer on the guilty party
The quartette have since left the city.

PACIFIC RAILRoAD-The Sacramento Bull
etin makes the following comments on the
Pacific Railway Bill, which was before the
last Congress. 1t reveals the policy of the Bu-
chanan party:
The bill provides ostensbly, for the build
ing Of three roads, but in reality aims to pre-
vent the construction Of any at all, and at the
same time to ward off the crushing weight of
Indignation that threatened to overwhelm the
Democratic party for the refusal of the Demo-
cratic Cincinnati Convention to incorporate a
railroad resolution in their platform The
Bill will pass, but under its provisions there
will never be one dollar expended, or sod
broken, in the construction of three roads or
one road. In the name of human reason,
what use is there for three parallel roads across
the Continent? And if there were use for
three, is it not worse than madness to make
the building of one dependent upon the build
ing of two more, when it will require all the
capital that two Continents can spare, and all
the energy of the American people, to build
one ?
The object of the Democratic party is sim
ply to get rid of the whole question and evade
responsibility by passing bill that is, on it's
face, and in all its parts, Imperative; one that
will give them the credit of iavoring the enter
prise, and at the same time efectually prevent
it's conSummation.
