Forgery Shielded.

Our readers will remember our late
references to the Kanawha RepubticdF'
exposure of the official irregularities OF
one +. T. MOORE, a loyal editor and
the incumbent of an indefinite number
of petty offices i'll Kanawha county. II
Will be rrcnllected that he was charged
with a somewhat unusual and ques-
tinnable liBrrality in the use of his
pen, or, not 10 put 600 fine point on
the matter, with forgery. The specIi-
catisns were that he had signed the
names of other parties, without their
knowledge or consent, I" certain wit
ness tickets, and that, by this means, he
had been enabled TO draw certain
monies due the gentlemen whose sigma
Iures nc had modestly affixed to the
aforesaid tickets.
Mr.. MOORE admitted the charge, but
said that he had committed the forgery
through the advice of SOME other per
son or persons. and therefore prayed
tue public 10 have him excused. At
the last term al the Circuit Court for
kanawha county, the attention OF the
Grand Jury was called TO the case, but
rs he witness tickets upon which the
forged names had been written were de-
puSited in the Auditors Office in this
CITY. action was deferred until the
papers could b. procured.
The public will be disSusted to
learn that these forged tickets hare bee"
returned to Z. T. MOORE, from the office Of
he state .iuditor The evidence of his
crime has heen placed in the criminals
possession and prosecution has thus
been rendered impossible. In the name
of the pconle we would like TO know by
han right our State officers presume to
thus defeat the ends of justice! Had
IN indictment been pending against Mr.
MOORE, and this evidence been filed in
thp Clerks office at Charleston, the re-
nnyai of the tickets would have been q
criminal offence. Ii may be that the
parties concerned are Eot now legal
ly liable, but morally they are guilty of
Shielding gross offender from the con-
sequeucsS of his act, and public opinion
will hold them to strict account.
We presume this article will be styled
ga gross and beastly assault" and that
all the pure minded loyalty of this
region will become indignant over our
s.efiruntery." We have generally OBJ
served that Whenever we have ventured
to criticize the conduct of a loyal
sconndrrl. We have been denounced in
sbont the terms we have quoted, and
we have no doubt that the same
linz of defence will be adopted in
the present instance. In order 10
make our assault still more brutal
We invite the State House author
ities to make through these columns
any refutItioa of our charge that the y
may be able to present. We make
the statement upon reliable authority,
and if there is any other. side to the
story We want TO give it To the public.
We can give no better evidence OF the
sebrutahtN" of our intent.

A FRESH WATER WHALE
The Sea serpant sapcrceded by y
New Aquatie.nIsnstes In Lake Hich
ixan-He Pu6s, Blows, Means and
Rats white Fish

That our great lake is inhabited by
something bigger and a more amphibi-
GUS nature than the whitefish or the
sturgeon is evident. Those who sail
the great deep, and know what is going
on above and below the water, tell us
so, and wherefore should they lie about
so small thingi During the season
we have frequently heard sailors speak
of seeing a fish that looked something
like a whale, off the harbor. Captain
Mcbride, who has crossed Lake Michi-
gan times into the thousands, says he
has frequently had his attention called
to whaley sort of fish that makes
much noise and blowing, and, always,
with huge puff, that can be heard on
q still morning for mile out, sink be-
low the surface of the water before he
can get his boat near enough to see and
describe the beast. Captain COusaul,
of the tug Davidson, a wide-awake sail
or, says that frequently very early in the
morning, or before dalight, when he
goes out into the lake, he has seen the
monster lying off the mouth of the river
and moving slowly along, as if devour-
ing objects that came out of the river.
On one occasion, having the wind
strongly in its favor, he bore away for
the fish, and was enabled to get so near
that he could plainly see its back,
which seemed formed like that of a
whale, with huge fins attached, that
looked big enough to destroy boat at
one blow. Upon discovering the tug
steaming toward it, the fish or beast,
whichever it was, uttered a low moan
ing sound as if very much frightened,
and then blowing loud blast, it sunk.
The captain cruised about the spot for
some time, but no trace of the fish was
afterwards seen. 1t is described as be-
ing larger than any sturgeon which has
ever been seen in the lakes, some Of
those wLo have seen it estimating its
length at fully sixteen feet. Its head is
large and its jaws capacious.
AS another evidence that there are
monsters of the deep in the lake, we
have the fact of the finding of large
sized fish OH the banks, which were
evidently bitten in two by something
not of their species-somthing Of the
shark species, that is fond of a delecta-
BILE meal, and likes it on the wing.

A man named Semiwald, living in St
Louis on Fifteenth street, has a well on
his premises forty feet deep, whose
water, for some days past, tasted and
smelled strongly of coal oil. On Satur-
day evening he experimentally threw a
handful of burning shayings into the
well, the result of which was terrible
explosion, badly singeing Mr.. s., and
blowing the curb stone to atoms The
we'll, it seems, was used by several
families in common, who quarreled
about 1t, and some of the number is
suspected Of having poured in the coal
oil as bit of spite toward the others,

The seven men killed by Indians near
Fort Hays, last week, were railroad
laborers. After scalping tw. OF them
the savages proceeded to Big Greek
stage station and ran off twenty horses
and mules. This was in daylight, and
while exposed to the fire of fifty infant,
~ and a dozen stage employees, three
hundred yards from them. 1t Is con
sidered the boldest dash the Indians
have made. Captain Ames started i'm
mediately in pursuit and overlook the
Indians last night, but found them te
numerous to attack with his force, and
sent back for re-enforcements, which
were forwarded.

From the Albany Argus. J
a Gazing Affair.

A day or two since an elderly gentle.
man, accompanied by an interesting
and youthful daughter, arrived in thin
city by one of the Hudson river steam
ers, and took rooms at the Delavan
House. On the way up the river a
young man, who was fellow passen-
ger, seemed extremely anxious to en-
gage in a Irritation with the young
lady, and succeeded in attracting not
only her attention, but that of her
father also. He followed them oT their
arrival here to the Delavan House,
where he put the climax upon his assu-
rance by slipping his card under the
young lady's plate at the table. She
Informed her father of the affront, and
the latter meeting the intruder in the
central yard as they were about to leave
on the Saratoga train, demanded OF
him an apology for his rudeness:: The
Young man refused to make the re,
quired apology, whereupon the indig'
nant father raised his cane and be-
labored the offender gallantly over the
head and shoulders. Amind the excite,
ment caused by this adventure, the as,
tonished youth made hasty and fnal
exit from the scene of his contemplated
amOurs.

The Radicals, under the specious guise
of advancing the interests of the poor
man, and particularly Of negroes, in the
South, are urging that Southern plan
tations should be cut up and divided
out to small farmers. A resolution,
looking to this end, was introduced in
the Radical convention few days ago,
at Columbia, South Carolina. A col
ored delegate from Charleston opposed
il, and said very pertinently that, with
equal propriety, resolution could be
introduced to the effect that, as large
houses or palaces in cities were useless,
and as persons often occupied houses in
which there were q number of vacant
rooms, they should be compelled to dis
pose of them; the principle Was the
same. .......

THE DITFERENCF.

The Fayetteville Observer of the 22d
inst, makes the following statement:
A short time since an election for mag
istrate was held in the fourth district of
this county. The successful candidate
| complied with all the requirements of the
law, vet Browniow refused to commission
him, probably because he was a CoDserva-
tive. On the 22d Of July, however, g the
Governor" as the parson delights to style
himself appointed, and filled a commits
sion for, Mr.. Jonathan j. Tucker, late of
East Tennessee, To fill the vacancy. Mr..
Tucker may be a clever man, and well
qualified for the position Of magistrate, al
though we are told that he has not yet re-
sided six months in Lincoln county, not
withstanding his name appears on the
Fayetteville poll-list of the lst inst.
There is no warrant in law for what
the Governor has done in this case 1t
is a most high-handed disregard of the
constitution Of the State, and that too by
an officer whose oath requires him to
take care that the laws be faithfully exc
cuted" Butt ism keeping with his whole
course as regards the judiciary of this
State There is to-day but one Judge in
the whole State who has been elected
'by the qualified voters" as provided in
the constitution, and we do not remember
that a single one of the Attorneys Gem
eral has been elected by the qualified
voters He has gone on and appointed
all these officers, notwithstanding the
plain and express provisions of the con-
stitution to the contrary, and to day these
men, thus illegally appointed, are holding
the courts and deciding questions in
yolving the interests and the liberty and
lives of the citizens of this State And
now he has commenced the work Of
appointing petty justices Of the peace,
notwithstanding he has no authOrl,
ty in law or precedent for such
proceeding. And the people of this
State have no redress for these illegal
acts Of their chief executive officer, be-
cause he has the Judiciary, from the low
est court to the highest completely under
his thumb, and ready to do his bidding
as obsequiously as a slave would that of
his master before the war fthe Queen
Of England were to attempt to govern her
subjects with as after disregard for the
law Of the realm as the Governor of Ten
nessee manifests for our laws, it would
certainly cost her ner crown, if not her
head The Emperor of France would
share the same fate were he to attempt
the game that is played in Tennessee.
That is the difference between mon
archy and republic in these latter
doyg
