And even now our citizens slow in believing the
the black republicans we're in crediting
the outbreak Of sold Brown" Harper's Ferry to any
thing serious than riot of the Armory worku.n
The which led to Captain Mags downfall are said
to be founded in his failure to settle his accounts On his

Captain Megs to return to tho construction fund the
money (somethng like $50 OO0) used t is sad) in reGt

own responsibility Being unable to do SO, he taken
from The further supernendcnce Of hs work and Cap
tain Franklin OF the Lighthouse Board appointed In his
place. Another report says he removed because he
refused to obey order of the War Department What
ever may have led to his displacement nothing better

conservative enough for the operation Of Southern op
position MEMBERS and Tom Corwn had TOO much
sympathy with the peculiar Institution Of the South to suit
the notions Of the majority OF the black republican pha.

six dissatisfied and disorganized democrats That indie
fatgabe gentleman has let it be known somehow that he
carries in his brooches pocket the votes Of Messrs
Hickman and Swartz, of Pennsylvania; Haskin, Clark

Although the source from which this entertaining little bit
Of gossip emanaes should be considered reabe still it is
not credited to any extent in this community outside of
the ranks Of those who 10 be benefited by it, is
regarded as quite possible that Messrs. Hickman and
Swarz may enjoy that envabe position that Messrs
