their wits, was arrested by Detective
McCune this morning, and upon exam
ination was found to possess one of those
swindling devices--a little wooden box
with secret springs, to be used on green
horns who come to the city. The game
is generally played with two confed-
crates, as was in this case. One proposes
to bet that he can open the box, and the
other bets that he cannot; so they 60 to
work at it in the presence of the stranger,
who becomes interested, and eventually
bets that he can open the box, but when
attempted generally fails, and thereby
loses his money. The swindler gave his
name as c. NJ. Parker, and was fined fifty
dollars. His friend, or confederate, was
at the same time arrested, but nothing
could be proved on him and be was re-
leased.

The Convention of Soldiers anC

lit was in full harmony and accord
! was Ill every respect a very remark,
able aud brilliant aSSemblage. The
presiding officer was General W. Il,

the delegates were such men as Gea.
/ Gordon Granger, Gen. Slocum, Gen.

rank and note. Those we have
named were certainly amongst the
most distinguished Federal Gener-

second to none-Whiie Gen. Han

fnII sympathy with the Convention,
and each OF whom WAS indicated for
a place on the Democratic ticket,
shows that the.yery elite of the army

never been heard of in this country.
The action ofthe really gallant and
distinguished officers of the army,
affords an unelring Indication Of
what course Will be pursued BY the

next November for Seymour and
