He would be happy meet Secretary Stanton here
and would extend to him cordial invitation TO dinner
should he feel inclined during the to make the
passage Of the st. Lawrence rapids and the trip the

appeared before the court organized to investigate his
case recognized its jurisdiction but gave justice log
bail two three days proceedings He processes
innocence-you found guilty criminal yet in his
estmation-but appears to have been somewhat un
willing to submit his innocence to the test of trial
HOW THEY LIVE
II puzzles many persons to know how the Southern
chvalry exc their living Canada, for of them
work. and will trust them, they certainly
get money from source to pay current expenses
Jake Thompson it is now admitted, furnished with
several hundred thousands Of dollars by the rebel govern
ment for what officially termed ''secret service
abroadn He settled in Montreal because he found
aid and comfort there than he could moet with else
where and round him clustered all the needy adven
urers who hoped by real pretended services
a share Of the spos Probably but very few of these
men ever did any actual injury to the North they
the drones Of the rebellion and cared only for fat living
and personal safety But they clustered and carried
imaginary intrgues for the destruction Of the Union
order to enhance their apparent value, and like Ben
Wood pockeed their bonuses Jake Thompson was for
while the tool Of these men, and kept them in dleness
and good living but In the end he cut loose from them
gave them the slip, and carried or with him the balance
of the funds which their innocence or their hopeful.
ness they had expected him to divide pro rata among
them. They terribly incensed against him, and
do scrupe to express the wish that the United States
government would catch and hang him. None Of them,

departure his followers have in some degree helped
each other but there is q feeling of Jealousy among
them and this division Of the SPOTS has stopped Some

SANDERS TIM MONTREAL rREss.
You will probably have observed that with excep
tion the papers Of Montreal have been silent on the
attempted abduction Of George N Sanders or have dis
missed the affair with two line paragraph The secret
is they afraid FIRST Of the United Statc and
did to denounce the attempt too vigorously, and
secondly Of George himself whom they regard very
tricky, and Of whom they would like TO be rid II is said
that George has wormed out some secrets among them
which might embarrass them II now exposed.

here, in conferenc with Sanders and Tucker Their
But in the meantime, the ever active and perseverng
Mr. Peter Cagger, who had been here ten twelve
days BEFORE and had intended to return home by way of
Portland, suddenly appeared again upon the scene,
compsnied by body guard OF regency politicians. II is
said that he received information at Quebec Of the
arrival Of the silent -shenters and hurried back
to Montreal Cagger has no confidence in the New
York city politicians, and more than suspects them
Of design TO throw overheard the regency. Hence
his sudden return to head of the Bohemians Of the
World. The main object Of the conference was to
put George and Tucker communication with their
friends In the recognizing States Of the South, and TO
obtain their influence In persuading those States that
their policy and interests with the Northern shen
persistent democracy. They desire some movement to
head off the attempt Of Foote, Westcott and others TO
take the South over nggers and ALL 10 the support Of
the republican party.
