The Boston correspondent Of the Chicago
Tri6une (Radical), ia noticing the renomin-
alton OF General BANKS. despite the fact Of
the change of gross lntemperate habits that
was preferred against him inNthe Conven-
tion, says: W
"As prophesied In nv last letter, Gen.
Banks was almost unanimously renomn-
ated to Congress by his contiding constitu-
ents In spite of the broadsde which his
enemies, in his own party, discharged
against him o week ago. Having no perz
sonal knowledge of the nlatter.or personal
feeling in it whatever, can only report to
you the view taken of itby public opinion
here, which combines admiration for the
bold manner in which Banks defied and OUT
maneuvered his enemies without damage
to himself; for the conscience of so expe.
rienced politician may be considered
proof; with pity for the clique so ignomin-
iodsly defeated IN their enterprising effort
to write failures at the premature close OF
the career Of man with whom success is
duty Yet as far as the charges against
The General g0y there IS no .dou6t al
least among toeH informed people, Of theli
truth; N and indeed Banks friends n
private conversation, and the neacspdpers schicL
Sustained him, vi,tudlly admit 10 and there ts
hence all the more reason 10 admire the du
ddcity ycRtch met them, not as an equally art-
scrupulouS bat less daring politician IN simttdi
plight to6eild huue done, toith temporising evd-
sion, but NTH pointed Ostentati0as and en-
phttfc Denial. 1t is worth nobody's while t'
push the charge to an investigation, and so
| itwilrprobably rest, gliding gradually into
oblivion as time passes on, and leaving
General Banks not a whit damaged in the
general estimation" '" .Hf11A"H'l s'i
There are three points in the above: ig
1. The charge against General BANKS OF
drunken habits is true. p.a 7Hl
2. In his denial of them he told false
hood. .a.h a., .str.1., ....... .-. r.rr
8. The people in this moral, virtuous and
temperance State of Massachusetts, admire
BANKS for the manner in which he met the
charges, that is, they admire falsehood, and
neither falsehood or drunkenness or both
combined will injure a favorite in their
estimation.

By the recent death of Dr.J. Andrews
the Presidency Of the Board of Control o.
the State Bank Of Ohio became vacant
Alta Meeting Of the Executive committee
of the Board held shortly afterward, 10.
seph Hutchinson, Jr, Cashier of the Frank
lin National Bank of this city, was APP
pointed President pro tenn. of the State
Bank of Ohio, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the decease of DIR. Andrews.
This appointment is generally regarded
as ajudicious one, Mr.. Hutchinson having
been, for'thel last twelve years, a member
of the Executive committee of the Board
and having an established reputation for
familiarity with the principles and details
of banking operations. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Hutchinson will be able to dis
charge the duties of his new efflce, AMI
still retain his position as Cashier of the
Franklin National Bank.

An InnOcent Person Saved from
... .E the PeniIentiary. 1la.. eGl

A girl named Julia Trainor was accused
some weeks ago, of stealing gold rings and
other property from the house of Mr.. II. G
Brewster, in Rochester, New York, but wa,
finally proven innocent by the confession
of girl named Kitty ElwOod, who, it was
noticed a few days ago, attempted to COM
NIT suicide by jumping into the canal
while in charge of an officer. The Roches
ter Union says; f'nii
"rhis confession has saved one innocent
girl from going to the State prison, and has
placed Mr.. Brewster and the authorities In
an awkward position, They were ali so
positive about Miss Trainor's guilt that they
subjected her to every possible test. threats,
bribes and imprisonment, to make her con-
fess crime which she protested from the
beginning she was not guilty Of 1t is diff
cult to imagine case of greater hardship
than Miss Trainors. She is young giTlwho
came TO this city about a year ago, having
neither father nor friend to look after her.
Hauled around for two weeks from the Jail
to the police court and from the police
court to the Jail, abused and treated as a
felon, condemned to the society of the de-
praved and corrupt, she is rescued at last
by the confession of this Elw0od girl, who
in all her misfortunes, must have some no
BILE traits of character. She knew that this
Trainor girl was suffering fora crime which
she herself had committed, and she there
fore made clean breast of it, and thereby
restored Miss Trainor to liberty. The re-
suit of this case should be warning to
people not to accuse without some strong
probability of guilt, for there can be no
doubt that, if the Elwood girl had not
confessed the crime, this innocent girl
would have gone to the State prison for ten
years. or t|

From the Mt. Vernon Banner, Oct 97l ~
Among the many bets that we're made on
the result of the Congressional election in
this District, was one between our towns
men, Mr. w. j. McFeely and Mr.. r. d
Huntsbury, to this effect That il Genera
Morgan should beat Mr.. Delano, in the race
for Congress, 500 votes in the District, II
was agreed that Mr.. Huntsbury should buy
two sacks of -four aud wheel them from
the foot to the head Of Main street (some-
thing over half mile), and then deliver
one sack ut Mr.. McFeely's house and the
other at his own. But on the other hand,
ifGeneral Morgan's majority did not reach
500, Mr.. McFeely agreed to buy the flour
and do the wheeling. Mr.. McFeely having
lost the bet, he proceeded to pay 1t Accord
ing to agreement, on Saturday morning
last at 10 O'Clock. At the time appointed,
the parties to the bet might be seen start
ing from the Bergin House, at the foot Of
Main street in the following style: McFeely
was dressed in the costume of Roman
gladiator, with red, white and blne jacket.
a 'sbran new" wheelbarr0w, finished ex-
pressly for the occasion, containing the
flour, was beautifully decorated with flags,
and on the sides were the words, 'How are
you, 500?" placed there by "Dug;n while

Feely, rose majrstically above the load

The Boston Investigator says: "Lasl
weok an old friend from Western New
York, while here on visit to our Office,
accidentally left his wallet, containing
some fifty dollars, in an eating house. His
loss was not discovered until some time af-
terward, but, being stranger in the city,
he was unable to. find his way back to the
house alluded to. In this dilemma he ad-
vertised his loss in the Herald, and the re-
suit was, he found his pocket-book and all.
The advertisement was seen by the saloon
keeper (Mr. Hayes, on Washington street),
who, being an honest man, returned the
treasure, and our New York friend went
on his way rejoicing, impressed no doubt,
with the belief that Boston is not so bad a
place after all, and that advertising is not
without its benefits" 5lG aeaW O.

A ADePlOrable Case Of Domestic I'm.
fidalfhvi N3



sfN Fromthe Providence Journal1
We published report last week that the
house Of Capt. James M. Pinnegar in East
Greenwich. had been entered during the
night0f the 22d inst, alIdrobbed of atrunk
containing $4,000. Officer Billings OF the
Clerks office in this city, was sent for to
work up the case, and visited the house for
the purpose of getting some clue to the
robber. A careful examination of the cir
cnmstances led him to suspect that the
money was appropriated by some one who
could get access toit without breaking and
entering the house. When,s therei6re, he
learned, in some mysterious manner that
detectives understand, that Mrs. Pinnegar,
the wife of the loser of the money, was to
meet man from New York in this city on
Wednesday morning. the officer determined
to observed the meeting. The parties met
and proceeded to the City Hotel, the man
proving to be one NJ. II. Finch, agent ofthe
famous Hanlon Brothers. They took
room, which, singularly enough,o chanced
to be one adjoininga room occupied for the
time by the officer, and not altogether Sc
cluded from his inspection. Io-.. .5If
While Mr.. Finch and Mrs. Pinnegar oc-
cupied the same room, the officer observed
enough to satisfy him that Capt. Pinne-
gars wrongs were not altogether pecuni-
airy, aud that If the parties were not indict-
able for grand larceny, they might most
assuredly be convicted of a more helnous
crime. After Mrs. Pinnegar had left the
hotel and proceeded to the house ofa friend
on Broadway, officer Billings called tor her
to go to the Chiefs oflice. There the sus-
picions that she was the persan who took
the money were gradually disclosed to her,
but she indignantly denied the impHta-
had passed under his. observation at the
hotel, when the wretched woman, finding
that her sin had found her out, confessed
that she took the money, and had given it
to her paramour Finch. at different times,
and in various sums, from $1,000 down to
5000, which last sum she gave him, we be-
lieve, on Thursday of last week. She as
sumed the entire responsibility OF taking
the $4,000. and said that Finch was not to
blame in the matter. Finch was afterwards
arrested and taken to the cell under the
sumptuous halls of the "City BuildiDg.n
He denied having received any money from
Mrs. Pinnegar, until confronted with the
woman and learning how much of his ad-
ventures was known; he then confessed
that he had received these various sums,
and had spent them all except about 5000.
Both parties remain in the cells, awaiting
the final disposition of the case. 1t seems
questionable whether they can be proceeded
against for the robbery, as the wife took the
money and lavished upon her paramOur.
But it is not unlikely that proceeding
may be instituted against them for adultery.
Mrs. Pinnegar is n rather good looking
woman of tlIirty-five, whose charms are
effectively sec off by jewels and costly ap-
parel, She has three or four children. Her
husband is partially crippled and nearly
blind. 1u tl Hra- nft rrr-l
