Four More Parties Under Arrest-TwO

Up-SeizuHe of Presses, Steel Plates,
Etc, 10 the Value of Fifty Thousand
DRlIaBa

Dollars.
The efforts of the Government towards the
suppression OF counterfeiting the national secu.
rites continue with unabated vigor. On We'd
nesday night the Secret Service Agents, acting
under W. Z. Wood, Chief OF the Secret Service
Division, assisted by United States Marshal
Murray, succeeded in arresting a young man by
the name OF Thomas Wilson, whom they sus-
pected of being concerned in printing the
bogus fractional currency and other Govern
ment securities. Wilson denied all knowledge
OF the business, but upon being informed by
Chief Wood that his entire operations had been
watched for month past, he made full
confession of his guilt and stated that he was
ready to turn over everything in his possession
to the Government authorities.
The capture in this case consisted OF nine finely
executed steel plates for printing fractional our
rency and ten dollar greenback notes i've steel
plates for manufacturing the long fifty cent God
dess of Liberty stamps, large quantity of dies
aud rolls, and portion of a press for printing
the spurious currency. The remaining portion
OF the press will be recovered;by tomorrow
ANOTHER MILL BROKEN UP.
The operations OF the Secret Service men had
led them to suspect that an establishment for
the manufacture OF the counterfeit money was
located short distance out of the city in the
direction OF Long Branch, and they at once set
ABOUT IT'S capture. Some adroit plans were laid,
out none were crowned with success until ves-
terday, when a descent was made upOn the ans
pected spot, and finer printing press than any
ye' taken was seized. In addition to this an
elegantly executed steel plate for printing the
backs Of the Spinner head fifty cent notes was
captured; also large quantity OF paper, ink
rolls and dies. The stuff was all boxed up and
arrived in this CITY last evening. trunk
nearly filled with bogus money Just ready for
distribution, was also seized and brought to this
CITY; They were all placed III the hands of the
United States Marshal. aud the prisoners com.
mitted to the County Jail.
The arrests In the city still continue. Yester.

(allas Charlie) Bartlett, Were taken into CUSTODY
On On warrants issued the day previous, on charge
OF dealing in United States counterfeit national
currency They were committed to ial for ex-

The CONSERVATION among the counterteiters is
intense. Knowing themselves to be guilty, they

ouy OIL the officers under Mr. Wood to be most
unsuccessful. Thus far eleven OF the most noted
manufacturers of counterfeit national securities

The Secretary Is an apt scholar. He
talks glibly about "packing conventions"

practice, with the nomenclature ~of-the

We presume it Is as natural for him to
talk of such things, as tor a burglar to talk

only imaginable excuse for him. We give
him, freely, the benefit of it. .,.- ef
We may say, in passing, that If the con-
vention was packed" 1t was packed well
packed with good material. r.--.-
The Secretary showed an intent to find
fault; even to inreat faults when he couldn't
find any. Yet he can't find or invent Gun

Of the faithful had become ardent in their

Doubtless he wished he hadn't after he
was through. He has not got bis piece
for tie campaign, arranged and committed
yet. So, he was not as fluent as his friends
would have liked. Still, considering that
1t was the first qua Of the campaign, and
that it was unex pectedly touched off, it fred
away very well. Grosvenor is p,easan t
gentleman. and for the most part, an easy
talker-it is, pity be don't know much
that is about politics. His sharp sentences,
commonly known as "clap trap"-intended
TO catch the ear of 'groundlings' and to

very glibly, for the reasons above stated /.
They will doubtless 60 off more smoothly
after few rehearsals. He closed UP with
an eloquent figure OF speech, entirely new

pared the government, toa ship. caught in
a storm, and struggling with angry billows'.
He deserves great credit for this conceit.

After the General was through, and the
clappings usual on such occasions had sub.

After considerable solicitation, the Judge
was induced to get up, and deliver his 'opin.

quite we'll on the bench, but he is physically
ard mentally incapacitated for public polit.

cides. He speaks as though he would say i,

which persisted in barking either didn't un. IN

In last weeks issue of this paper, ap-
pears communication from a member of
the opposite party, in relation to the DEM
ocratic County Convention. He signs him
self Secretary pro bono publico." If it
be good for the public to feed on foul inu-

licious and premeditated misrepresenta-
tions, then he was secretary "for the pub

to hear fair, unyarnished tale of truth,
then he wrote for the public hurt.
Now, which did he do?
He might have been a hundred miles
away, on the day Of the Convention, and
have written the same article, and with
just as much foundation to work upon.
He does not know what he says about

The AbOlitiOnists In a Stew about
the Irish.

| the lrlSn.
The redoubtable "Rump" CORES
pondent of the Record seems hurt
by the resolution of sympathy with
the Irish cause, passed at the Dem
ocratic County Convention.
We can understand his feelings.
If the resolutions had been SYM
pathetic toward the negro, his feel
ings would not have been hurt at
all-scarcely.
But when the Irishman is talked
about, this 'Rump' correspondent
can't see it, cause why2 Cause,
he's white, and, therefore, amt "a
man and o brother
Faith and the 'Rump'. .writeris a
broth Of boy-a sweet scented
creature.
He wiggles and waggles, and
through about two dreary columns,
'like a wounded snake, drags his
slow length along
He squirms terribly.
Why?
Because his party wants the Irish
vote. The Radicals are losing their
old friends so fast, they are in a
big hurry to catch a few new
ones.
He quotes cheap resolutions in
troduced for that purpose, by his
congressional friends.
His own guilty conscience, then,
impels him to charge the Demo
Gratis with trying to buy the Irish
vote by cheap resolutions.'
Is that, intended for sgo-ak' and
does he charge extra for it?
The Irish are democrats, gener-
ally speaking, and if any body
wants to buy their votes it must be
those who have not got them; that
is the abolitionists.
They have been trying it, in
what they thought a very smart
way, and they wanted US to keep
quiet.
That's why the 'Rump' CORES
pondent don't like our resolutions.
But the Irish are not in the mar
ket.
These abolitionists made this
great mistake. They thought all
people were like themselves, ready
to be bought.
But, in thinking so, they were
badly sold-sold for just what they
are worth-nothing at all
The Irish are noble people,
They are brave, enthusiastic, imag-
NATIVE, generous. Eloquence,
song, valor have fourished grandly
in Ireland. Down trodden, op-
pressed, and enslaved for 10! these
many years, she has still maintained
her unquenchable love of liberty.
Oppressed by a nation of ira
ders and an aristocracy of wealth
the victims of monopolies, the
Irish people naturally hate parties
who favor class legislation, and
strong governm ments' in which the
powerful and rich flourish at the
expense of the consequently,
they have always voted the Demo
cratic ticket. Consequently, they
don't belive in 'bondholders' con-
trolling the country, and respect
fully decline to vote their ticket
Consequently, they won't vote for
men who have abused and vilifed
and denounced them, while they
were praising and applauding the
negro; who tend to bring black la
Dor in competition with white la
Dor; and who now want the negro
to vote down the will of the white,
and who are trying to betray the
Irish, as they have betrayed the
country.
The Irish ale not green.
Neither are they black.
They are aehite and they vote
the aohite mans ticket. i, -l....

nor forget their enemies. r.ia| i.
