Here is another confirmation Of what we
have charged, viz: That the Grant ad-
ministration, before the election, crowded
the public works with men; promised them
steady employment if they would vote the
radical ticket; got their votes BY these
promises, and by threats that there would
be no employment if they didn't SO vote,-
and after the elections are over large num-
bers of the men are turned adrift Will
these men or their friends be fooled again
by radical promises, or intimidated by radi-

ANOTHER CHAPTER =,

| CONCERNING THE MAJORS WAR. %
After receiving the generous coat OF
tar and feathers, as related in the pre-
ceding chapter by Mr.. Donnel, Majors
was indefatigable in his efforts to pros
ecute and convict the leaders in the
various raids against him. The state
of feeling. as exhibited in the late pro-
ceedings in the vicinity of Knoxville,
afiording but little prospect of success
in Marion County, he resorted to the
Courts Of Mahaska, where he fancied a
more favorable tone of public isenti-
ment existed. After number of fail
ures, he finally succeeded in obtaining
bills of Indictment against number
of individuals who had been disturb
ers of his peace during the claim diff
culties. g .q.st, ~
A young man named Bush was
among those indicted. Bush had in
cautiously allowed himself to be ar
rested, against a well-understood
arrangement, and entered into bonds
to appear at the term of Court then
next ensuing at Oskaloosa, Notwith-
standing this violation of the rules by
Bush, his friends resolved to stand by
him, as they weresolemnly pledged to
aid and assist their friends i'll every
emergency growing out of their diff
culties. y
Accordingly they arranged matters
for the approaching trial. One Of
their number, who very strongly re-
sembled Bush in personal appearance,
was chosen to represent him during
the trial of the case. This was bold
step, but they ventured upon it.
At the sitting of the Court, Bush and
his substitute were surrounded by
their friends. When the case was
called, the pretended Bush responded,
took his seat in the criminal box, and
plead mot Guilty" to the Indictment;
but when, in the progress of the suit,
it became necessary to identify the
criminal at the bar as the real offend
ing Bush, the similarity between the
two individuals became at first en-
barrassing and then inexplicable, and
caused no little delay in the proceed
ings; and the Court finally lost its
temper, and dismissed the case. The
ruse was success; and the case was
literally laughed out Of Court, to the
utter confusion of Majors and his At
torneys, who We're unprepared for this
sharp practice.
At this unlooked-for failure when
everything had promised success,
Majors became mortified, chagrined
and discouraged, and gave up in de-
spair. He made no further efforts to
prosecute the matter, being convinced
of the impossibility of procuring a
conviction in community where the
hand of every man was arrayed
against him. He soon after cleft the
country for his country's good"
Finding kindred spirits in Missouri,
he sought a home among them, where
he still resides.
1t is by no means certain that the
Court, bar or spectators of the trial
ever became aware of this ruse. 1t
was known only to the initiated.
