sand inhs bitants Independent OF threats Of re.
moving the Capital, "a consummation most

featuring receives as much attention as they
deserved We see that capitalists are willing
to nut their hands deep into their pockets to
promote temporary prosperity through u
Worlds Fair; and a wealthy Senator residing
here seeks places from Maine to Georgia
wherein 10 invest probably his surplus tnou-

months since to visit, after years OF absence,

town, and those were three superannuated in

A very perceptibe falling an ~. ,arer n,ac. IN

SaS'i one, OF course. thinks hs name and claim
more potent than any other. "An men think all
men mortal but themselves" but did they only
know that for each position from messenger TO

There ~ no relaxation OF the vigilance that dis
covered short time since the frauds IN the weigh
man entered the Collectors ofllce. and said
he knew the Whereabouts OF Colonel
Carr, one of the defaultiBg and absconding weigh
ers. Word was sent thereupon TO the sheriff OF the
town down East where the secretive Carr was eating
his bread ana butter. The sheriff accomplished his
business SO far as discovering and taking into Gus.
tody the man designated in the despatch was con-
cerned. The thing to put him aboard the cars
and transfer him to toe saekeepng OF the law ON
GERS here Sheriff and his prisoner took passage &C
cordingy for New York, and the authorities OF the
Custom House being duly notified expected OF course,
that now, indeed, they mad chance OF making
STERLING and striking example OF an unfaithful en-
ploye to whose rescue no high political influence
could come and shield him from the descending
stroke Of justice. Two hours after the train left
tain town In New England Carr, taking advantage OF
the Sher1s absence at the end of the car imbibng
glass OF water, jumped through window OF the car
and has never been heard or since. Hopes however,
are entertained OF hts ultimate capture.
