BEST CABINET ORGANS
AT LOWEST PRICES.

That the MASON 4 HAMLIN CABINET
and METROPOLITAN ORGANS are the bcs
in the morld is proved by the almost unani-
nous opinion of professional musicians, by the
award to them of SEVENTY FIVE GOLD
and SILVER MEDALS or other highest pre-
miuns, at principal industrial competitions
within few years, including the MEDAL at
the PARIS EXPOSITION, and by sale very
much greater than that of any similar instru-
ments. This Company manufacture only first
class instruments, and will not make "cheap or
gans" at any price, or suffer an inferior instru-
meRt to bear their name. Having greatly in
creased their facilities for anufactuIe, by the
introduction of new machinery and otherwise,
they are now making BETTER ORGANS than
EVER BEFORE, at increased economy in cost,
which, in accordance with their fixed policy of
selling always at least remunerative profit, they
are now offering at PRICES of INFERIOR
WORK FOUR OCTAVE ORGANS, Plain
Walnut Case, $50. FIVE OCTAVE ORGANS,
Double Reed, Solid Walnut Case, carved and
paneled, with FIVE STOPS Viola, Diapason,
Melodia, Flute, Tremulant, Sl25. Other styles
in proportion.
Circulars with full particulars, including nc
curate drawings of the different styles of Or
pans, and much information which will be of
service to every purchaser of an organ, will be
sent free, and postage paid, to any one desir-
ing them.

KASCALlTY,

We give the following, received few
days since by one Of our citizens, as the la
lest scheme of villainy proceeding from
the teeming brains of unhung scoundrels
who have their headquarters in New York,
and sent out to catch the unwary and
tempt the unprincipled. The circular is
headed "The - St. National Banking
House of New York City," the "St." how
ever, being in infnitessimal characters, and
located above the line in the scroll work.
We suppress the names and localities at
tached for obvious reasons. 1t is as fol-
lows:
New York, Dec. 22d, 1869.
Dear Strive are DESTROYS OF circula-
ting a few hundred thousand dollars of our
bank bills before the first of May. We
will allow the money to be deposited in the
different banks in small amounts, but at
the sane time we would prefer to have the
money expended in some way whereby
about one.half would be received in other
bills as change. Our reason for prefer
ring to have the money expended is this,
if we are compelled to fail after the first OF
May, we would much prefer to have our
bank bills widely ard generally circulated,
SO that no one would lose large amount.
Ii person has but few dollars of our
money and net living in New York, it would
not justify him in beginning legal proceed
ings against us, SO you can see at glance
our object. Ii You wish to act as an agent
for the circulation of our money, you can
make a few thousand before the first of
MAY. We will require onc-half of the
money received for ours to be forwarded

RAILROAD PASSES.

The Dubuque Herald of the Oath con.
tains manly letter from NJ. B. Mulkern,
State Senator elect from Dubuque county,
declining the proffer by the President Of the
III. Cen. r. r. Co. of a pass over that road
and its leased lines. Mr.. Mulkern goes over
the whole ground of railroad injustice and
oppression, combats the mons'rous assump-
tons Of privilege and immunity from re-
straint put forth by the companies, and con-
cludes by avowing his disbelief in the wis
dom of extending passes to the peoples rep
resentatives during their tenure of Office,
and his desire to remain wholly untrammelled
in the performance Of his duties as ! gis-
lator.
We are assured that the reception of pass
es from the Central Company is not confin-
ed to Mr.. Mulkern alone. Every Senator
and Representative on its line of road and
connections, and possibly many more, have
been recipients of similar favors, but none,
as yet, with the exception Of Mr.. Mulkern,
has seen fit to decline them. Considering
tina, questions vitality concerning its inter
ests and privileges are sure to come up for
legislative action during the coming session,
the purpose of the railroad company in this
scattering of its favors is tolerably transpar-
ent. That purpose is to create in the mind
of the legislator sense Of personal obliga-
tion and Of the companys liberaliiy, which
shall iasensiby to himself lead him 10 deal
lenien,ly with it in his official capacity. We
have no fear that any member of the legis-
lature will be bribed by railroad passes, TO
do aught than that which he conceives to be
his duty, but we cannot but regard the &C
ceptance by the peoples representatives in
their official capacity of any favor however
small, especially from corporation whose
interests and privileges will become SUBJ
iect of legislation. as in bad taste to say the
least. The proffer of favor from such
source, is no compliment to them rather
the opposite, and we regret that they have
not generally viewed the matter in this light.

favorable comment by leading and inauen-

law. The Washington Chronicle makes
the following mention of it:

The Toma Co. Safe Robbery.

A startling and tragic denouement has
been reached as the result of the investiga-
ton concerning the robbing Of the County
Treasurer's Office at Toledo, Tama County,
an account Of which we gave in our columns
last week.
A detective was employed to work up the
case. In due time the detective became
convinced that Camery, the Deputy Treas
urcr,-the same who at the time of the rob-
berry was found in the Office with wounds on
his person, which he said were given by the
robbers-was the real culprit. In persu-
ance of this theory Camery was induced to
90 to Chicago ostensibly in pursuit Of the
supposed robbers. What follows is thus
given by the Tama Citizen:
At Chicago, Camery was taken into
room at the headquarters of the detectives,
and shown number Of photographs of no
ted rogues, and asked to point out the rob-
Der, or robbers, if he recognized either Ct
them. After passing a number, he selected
a picture and said that he was one Of them.
The detective looked him squarely in the
ewes, and told him that he was mistaken
that if that man had used knife on him he
would have finished him quickly. He then
said to Camery, you are the man who COM
mtted the crime. And Camery confessed.
The detective telegraphed to Judge Free
who went. to Chicago and returned with
Camery, Sunday night.
At about clock Monday morning, Cam
cry went to the plank walk Of the Court
House, leading to Broadway, and took from
it the missing money, and delivered it TO
Mr.. Hall and Warren, who brought it to
lama City and deposited it in the bank.
We understand that every dollar was recov
cred. Up to l o'clock Monday, Camery
had not been arrested. AT that hour, see
ing his wife's father approaching the house,
shot himself in the right side with q revol-
yer, the ball passing down inside the hip
bone, and the surgeons could not tell wheth-
err it would prove fatal or not.
This is very sad case. Denton Camery
had only been married few weeks. He
was an only child. He had an excellent
wife. He was not poor, and he was above
suspicion. His parents and the parents Of
his wife, we're in comfortable circumstances.
His wife did not know Of her husbands
guilt till be shot himself and her agony was
terrible. Poor child. The money was hid
den under the walk some thirty or forty feet
from the Court House. Camery swears that
he had no accomplice. and the fact that none
of the money was taken is pretty good evil
dehce that he speaks the truth though not
positive. The report is untrue that an ef
fort was made on Monday to cloak the mat
ter. In all probability Camery will recov.

"Old Subsidy" is the designation given
to Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, for his ad'
vocacy of schemes for depicting the nation
al treasury. He is already at his work in
the present Congress. He has introduced
bill giving the guarantee of the govern
ment for the payment of interest upon ten
million dollars of the bonds of a company
to lay an ocean cable to Holland. The
proposition would be less specious and
amount to the same thing practically if put
in the form of an appropriation from the

SHOCKING AFFAIR AT NEwToN.-A New
ton Jasper Co. special to the Des Moines
Register of the 2lst, gives the following
particulars Of an appalling accident:
Sunday night, about II o'clock, while a
few friends were waiting for the midnight
train from the East, at the residence of Mrs.
Annis, in the northern part of the town, a
young man named Case very foolishly took
up carbine setting in corner, and began
to go through the manual of arms. The
owner of it telling him it was not loaded,
be pointed it at little son of Mrs. Annis,
saying Suppose you we're rebel, would
shoot you right through the head" and pull
ing the trigger the carbine fired, and the
large ball in it went crushing through the
bosom of the little fellow, killing him in
stantly, making terrible hole through his
breast, and entering the bowels of an older
brother near by, who now lies in dying
condition. The boys are aged about six
and seventeen. Mrs. Annis is soldiers
widow. The second one died about o'clock
this morning."
