ments now stationed in that territory. He
LETT Philadelphia with his prisoner on the
Express train on the Pennsylvania railroad
for Dakota. The detective manacled his
prisoner before getting on tho train. When
:he train was passing Packsaddle Station,
three miles from BlaiIsvillc Intersection,
the detective went into the water closet
few moments, leaving his prisoner on the
seat. While the detective was absent the
prisoner succeeded in raising the window
and jumped out, the train going at a
speed OF thirty miles an hour. A passen-
| ger in the car saw him, but could not
prevent him. The train was Immediately
checked and backed to the place, whore
the man was discovered 10 an iusensible
condition, having fallen upon his head,
causing a severe fracture of the skull.
There Is no hope Of his recovery.
The rumors which have been circula-
ting for day or two past, relative TO an
alleged defalcation ia the accounts of John
w. Forney, as Secretary Of the Senate,
have led to an examination of his accounts
with the Treasury Department as disbur-
| sing officer, and it has been ascertained
there is balance of over $4,000 on
hand, to bis credit, which indicates that
there is no truth in the rumors. AS
Secretary of the Senate, he acts aR~Pay
master to the Senator's, draws their pay,
and disbarses the money for this and
contingent expenses, but it does not appear
that any of the Senators have allowed him
to retain the custody of their cash for any
length Of time, or that there are irregu-
larltles In his accounts which warrant any
suspicion of dishonesty.
IT is singular fact that majority of
the Democratic press Of the country rejoice
at the failure of Garibaldi in favor of the
nationality of Italy. These journalists
call the great Italian patriot a rebel aud
an invader, who sought to dis'roy the
rightful government Of Rome. The secret
of their opposition ia that Garibadi fought
for liberty and freedom in government and
the Journals In America which oppose him
we're in favor of JEFF. Davis, who fought
for slavery and oppression in government.
If the Democratic leaders even tried, they
could not conceal their sympathies with
tyrsnts. Tyranny is the animus of modern
Democracy.
THE Hartford Conn Press places the
Democracy in this dilemma If the South
ern States come back into the Union under
the Congressional plan, half Of them will
De as likely to cast their electoral vote for
:he Republican nominee for President as
for the Democratic candidate, and besides,
the Democracy will have no issue. But
if the Democracy advise the Southern
States to stay out, then they will have no
chance of help from them in the Presi
Dental election, and in that event they
can have no hope of carrying the North
against Grant
THE Republican party is by no means
defeated for the future In the losses 1t
sustained at the recent elections. Con
ceding New York, Pennsy lvania aud New
Jersey TO the Democracy in the Preslden-
tial contest, the Republicans will still be
strong enough to elect their nominee. 1t
he should be Grant, there Is no doubt Of
his carrying all three of the States named.
The Democracy realize that they can't
stard still or even so back withou. de-
struction. They have got an elephant on
their hands iC the victories won.
The Hon. David Davis, administrator
of the late Abraham Lincoln, has made a
final settlement of the estate, at Spring
field. After paying all the debts, there
remained Sl10, ,294 62, which, divided
among the widow and heirs, gives $780,
765 80 to Mrs. Lincoln, and the same
amount to each son. Robert T. Lincoln
has received his share and also that OF the
minor heir, Thomas (Tad). The amount
due Mrs. Lincoln, less about S4,OOO
heretofore drawn, is subject to her order.
: AS an illustration of George Francis
! Trains intense patriotism, it is stated
that, on one occasion, he sent his wife
on ninety days voyage from Australia
to New York, that their coming child
might be born on American soil, as would
become a possible future President OF
the United States. The journey Was a
: most troublous one, and the lady came
, very near being shipwrecked, but at last
reached this country In safety. The CHILD
WAS born and-it was a girl.
: HENRY WARD BEECHER says that when
t men 20 to church an d get nothing but cut
straw raised five hundred years ago, and
are dissati, fed at that, and will not come
again, he honors them. As long as human
nature remains true to what 1t is, he does
2 not believe the herds will refuse to come
4 to the rack when there is juicy fodder
there; and if they do not come, 1t is
because there is nothing to eat.
