:. COME TO GRIEF

The Chicago correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette writes as follows:
On the 11th of July last, check, call
ing for seventy-fve thousand dollars, and
signed by Cornelius Vanderbilt, was pre-
sented to the banking house of Moses Tay-
Tor & Co., of New York city, by Henry
Livingston and paid. Two or three days
after the check was discovered to be
forged one, and the police detectives were
set at work to discover the forger After
beating about for several weeks without
much success, it was finally ascertained
that Livingston had been quite recently in
Chicago and hence came the detectives.
Several days searching here developed the
fact that Livingston had purchased farm
OF one thousand acres near Blackberry Sta
ton, Kane county, about thirty miles west
of this city, paying therefor twenty-five
thousand dollars in cash, and that he was
residing on it, Hither the detectives
went, and succeeded in finding and arrest
ing the forger. The next morning he was
ironed and started for New York, via.
Michigan Central route. Before leaving,
several lawyers of Kane county, with the
anticipation of handsome fees, made at
tempts to have Livingston discharged By
virtue Of ha5eas corpus writs, but the officers
were too lively for the lawyers, and got
Livingston out of the State before the
work could be done. Livingston had his
wife with him, and introduced her to his
neighbors as the daughter of Cornelius
Vanderbilt This, of course, obtained for
her high consideration. While running
his farm he spent his money in a princely
manner, but was generally esteemed des-
perate character.

THE GREAT TRIMMER ON THE PER-
lis OF THE NATION.

The New York Times, a newspaper
which IN the past twelve months, has
pretty nearly boxed the political compass,
and during the time has sailed in every
possible direction but the right one, in
an article of the 10th inst. is laundering
about in search of the public "perils.
Itthinks it has discovered them, and thus
declares
The peril is here, by reason Of the con-
hict which the President has provoked with
Congress; at the South by reason Of the
vicious activity of non-combatant politi-
clans who vainly struggle to revive the
sectionalism of by-gone times.
Its editor-in-chief Mr. Raymond,
year ago was sitting in the Philadelphia
Convention, arraigning Congress for pro-
Toking a conflict with the President and
he knows to-day, that, if perils environ the
nation from q collision Of authority be-
tween the Executive and the Legislative
departments, the latter is willfully,
wantonly and wickedly in the wrong.
From the hour Of the assembling Of the
thirty-ninth Congress to the present mo-
ment, the Radical majorities in that body
have been Systematically, and without
warrant in the constitution, encroaching,
Tor the most hagitious purposes, upon the
undoubted prerogatives of the Presi,
Dental office; and endeavoring to i'm
pair the power and influence, and degrade
the present incumbent In this course.
they have endangered the public Hber-
ties, and the President has apparently
made up his mind in future to assert his
full prerogatiyes, and meet the REQUIRE
ments Of his oath and his duty to the
preSerce protect and de-
fend the constitution. That is his con
fict, and if he should fall in it, there is
peril ahead indeed
There is no peril to the government
in the course of Southern politicians
whether they were, in the late war com
blatant or non-combatant History affords
no parallel to the unanimity and com
oleteness Of the compliance that the
southern peOple-public men and private
shown to the action of the
Federal government since the close of |
he war In addition to the inevitable !
'esults Of defeat monstrous and grevious
,xactions and privstons have been laid |
N them They have sought in vain to |
sppease their task-masters by acquies-
snce; but the appetite to Cypress has in
creased by what it fed on. With.a |

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Henry Cam
mers has sued the Sunday Times for libel,
claiming $4,000 damages for publishing a
sensation story that he seduced a German
girl on the passage from Europe, and threw
her overheard.
The case in the United States Court to-
day against M. j. Ryan and Simon H.
Stern, charged with defrauding the gov
eminent by illegally moving whisky from
a bonded warehouse. Ryan was arrested
as keeper of the warehouse and Stern as the
buyer The whisky had been consigned,
from Decatur, Ills, to Browning & Go.
Case continued to the 25th.
1t is stated that the Presbytery of Shiloh
has closed a church, taken possession ofthe
edihce and obtained warrants of arrest for
refractory ministers who refused to allow
J. H Garnett to ofhciate, notwithstanding
he was elected by a majority of the con-
gregation. The Presbytery have given the
key OF the church 20 commissioner. who
will retain possession till the case is de-
clded by the courts.

luton against the abolition Of the degree
of Rebekah, and providing for a more thor

acted on. A charter was granted to a

solved that the State grand bodies be en-
powed to resusoitate defunct lodges or
encampments upon the application of FIVE
members.

THE LAST AND MEANEsT LIE.

In his speech last week, at Boston, Mr.
Boutwell, is represented as charging that
Mr. Johnson removed the archives, and
closed the Bureau for the Preservation Of
the Archives of the Southern Confede-
racy for the purpose of destroying the
evidence of his completely in the assas-
sination. The paragraph is going the
rounds Of the press without contradiction.
The truth is thus stated by the Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
The facts are that the Bureau archives
are still in existence, and accessible as
heretofore, and the President has not made
any order Of any kind as to the manage
ment, and has not exercised any control
whatever over its affairs. Some DAYS ago
General Grant, finding that the Office of
of the Bureau was a mere
iinecure, abolished or relieved the incum-
lent, DIR. Lieber, and placed the concern
n charge of a clerk, who has charge now.

TRAIN ON TEMPERANCE.

The Sons of Temperance of jacksonville

vited Mr.. Train to address them, received
the following suggestive reply;

A CLOSE COMPILATION OF CHAN.
CTS

A will case now being tried in the city
of Boston has developed some features
that eatitle it to take place among the
causes celebris. The amount involved is
very large, and the case will turn on the
genuineness or falsity of signatures In
the instruments left by the testratrix,
Miss Sylvia Ann Rowland, devising her
estate, her signature occurs three times.
1t is attempted by one party to the suit
to prove that one, if not too, of these sig
natures are forgeries In order to test
this question, every resource of law, as
we'll as of science and art has been
brought into requisition Experts in
Penmanship, photographers, and mathe>
maticians have been laboring for months,
and the fact is in proof before the court,
that the three signatures are perfectly
identical-as exactly similar as three fair
impressions of the same steel-plate en-
craving.
Upon this state of facts, the most GU
rious and interesting testimony IS that of
Professor Benjamin Pierce, of Harvard
College, Superintendent of the coast sur
vey, and one of the best mathematicians
of the age, upon the doctrine of chances.
He said " He had had a large expe-
rience relating TO the computation of
chances; that the mathematical discus
sion Of the subject of coincidence of sig
natures had never, to his knowledge,
been proposed, but that it was not diff
cult, and a numerical expression appli>
cable to this problem, the correctness of
which would be recognized by all the
mathematicians in the world, could rea-
Oily be obtained" Then, having ascer-
tanned the relative frequency of coinci-
dence by comparing numerous sigma
lures of Miss Rowland to bills of sale of |
vessels, etc, he concludes that, in her |
case, this phenomenon (of coincidence |
could occur only once in two thousand
six hundred and sixty-six millions of |
millions of millions of times, or 2666,- |
600, O0O,000OO0,00 600 " This number,
the Professor remarks, far trans
scends human experience SO vast
an improbability is practically an
impossibility Such evanescent sha-
dows of improbability cannot belong
to actual life They are unimaginably |
less than the least thing which the law
cares not for. And this conclusion from
these data is thus expressed Under a
solemn sense of the responsibility in
volved in the assertion, declare that the
which has here occurred
must have had its origin in an intention
to produce it
A million Of dollars has often been
staked on the calculation of chances;
but there is not, in all probability, another
example on record in which the verdict
in a law case involving that amount was
liable to be determined by the testimony
Of a learned professor, following out the
principles which La Places great work
has so ably set forth, and applying the
lnalterable rules of mathematical science
% determine what may seem, to the un-
a purely fortuitOus matter,
namely, the chances Of coincidence, in
Is action, while writing, of the human

MILITIA To BE REMOVED.

Messrs. Hurt, Muse and Brown, the
committee on the part of the citizens of
jackson and Madison county, to lay their
grievances in regard to the outrages com
mitted by the loyal militia stationed at
jackson, returned from Knoxville yester-
day, where they had an interview with
the Governor on the subject of their mis-
sion. The Governor assured them, as we
learn, that the militia should be removed,
and 1t is understood they will be mus
tered out Of the service. General Cooper
was present, and he seemed to be opposed
to this policy, but the Governor appeared
to be entirely satisfied that there was no
necessity whatever for the 'loyal miEtia"
IN Madison county, Or perhaps anywhere
else. The Sheriff Of Madison county
states that he can serve any kind of BRO
cess in that county, and that he has not
carried pistol with him for about a year
And this officer is, we believe, an APP
pointee Of the Governor 1t is very clear
that all the fuss that has been made about
outrages in Madison county, has been
put forth by interested parties to create
an impression that there is a necessity
for the presence of the militia in that
county And Gen. Cooper will find this
