BOLD CONFIDENCE GAME.
An EniRrant Swiudled Out of Seven Hundre
Dolinrs-Ilow the Game wns Played.

An Emiarant Syyipdled Out of Seven Hundred
Dolinrs-How the Game wns Played.
Many confidence games have been success
fully practised on emigrants passing through
Memphis westward recently. The latest, mar
rated by the AUdldnche in its issue of the Dist
instant involved the sum of seven hundred dol
lars. A hardy, intelligent-looking emigrant
from Georgia was the victim. He stood by the
river side watching the loading of the boat that
was to carry him on his way to the promised
land, and indulglng in dreamy romauces of the
future. A stranger approached, and, with q
shrug of the shoulders exclaimed
II wish that boat would hurry up and get off;
l am tired of waiting"
''Are you going on that boat 2"
eyes, Sir"
'Where are you bound 2"
~ am going to settle at - replied the
polite and affable unknown.
''Well, I'm glad to meet you; I'm going there
too. We will be travelling companions
A third appeared on the scene, and addressing
the polite and enterprsing stranger, said:-
Your goods and stock are all aboard, Mr..
s7o663.' w . ' ~
That's all right. III settle when l go
aboard"
''But the railroad agent is waiting, and wants
the bill settled Immediately"
i've no money with me-but wait. Here's n
and give me the balance
"I'd rather not"
''Well, it's the best can do now, unless my
friend mere Will let Inc nave inc money on tnlS
bond"
OF course the emigrant would let him have the
money. He drew well-filed wallet from
his pocket, and in a twinkling counted
out 800 in greenbacks, taking the bond
as security, and showing it into one of his capa-
cious pockets.
"Now, sir" said the third party, ''if
you'll step around to my office Ill give you a
receipt" ............. ......... ......... ....
Would the emgrant excuse his new friend
for few minutes. OF course he would.
The two moved off, and the emlgrant pro-
eeeded to the emigrant ticket Office near by.
He was full of smiles. He had made an eX
cellent trade; loaned 500 on a marketable
security of $1,000 at 215 per cent. per month.
That's excellent" said the ticket agent, Let
me see the security" ..-. ,-.-rlr. ...
"Ilere it is-a fve-twenty bond OF $1000,"
said the emigrant, drawing the security from his
pocket.
The agent opened it, looked at it, and laughed.
why, said he "ths is the worst swindle
I've heard of. You are dead beat; gone up.
THIS is. worth no more than so much waste

security. 1t proved to be Kankakee bond for
one hundred dollars.
The emgrant was astounded. His Jaws
dropped, his knees trembled, and he almost sank
through the floor.
1t is needless to say that the confidence men
got off with their booty, and that the emigrant
went his way sadder, wiser, and a poorer
man.

Mr.. r. j. Cunningham offered a resolution
that the police force of the city is utterly una )lo

adopted
AT this point an intelligent-looking colored
man, who subsequently, gave his name as j. w.
Brown, of Philadelphia, mounted the platform,
and said that he came as stranger and had no
part IN the municipal contest in which they were
engaged. He was making his first appearance
here. and would appeal in the name of God, of
the Republican party, by all that is sacred, TO
them TO be men, and to act as such. He regret
ted the manner in which they were acting, which
was painful to him. In Pennsylvania, where
the colored men have no VOTE they met with
white men and behaved themselves with order
and proprlety, and why could not the same state
of things exist here He appealed again that
they should put down this disorder, and not let
the shame of the people be published to the
world. applause
Mr.. Maurice Pechn asked ifthey were willing
that these proceedings should go out, and APP
pealed to the crowd to respect themselves and
the right Of free speech.
Mr.. Pechin continued, saying they should al
low the meeting to proceed, that it was held for
a specific purpose, and that others could be held
for discussion. They should remember what the
call for this meeting Is.
A motion to ad iourn was adopted, and for
some minutes cheer after cheer and groan after
groan succeeded each other. Tom Bowie,
companied by Aaron Clark and others, pressed
towards the platform, and the first-named ex-
claimed 81 move that Joe Rroolls take the
chair J" and put the question. During the con-
tiDual cheering and groaning Brooks took the
chair and proceeded to address the meeting.
The hooting and yelling were, however, kept up
to such an extent that it was impossible for
president Brooks" to make himself heard and
Mrs. Lockwood, finding that the party who had
engaged the hall had adjourned, commenced to
turn off the gas, and the crowd, seeing that
darkness was commencing, left the hall with
great precipitation. On the pavement, the word
was given out to the disorderly gang, "A meet
ing is being held at the City Hall, and In that
direction the crowd went.

some false reports to the father, which induced
him to 90 30 the school with the child. made
this statement in the presence of these and the
Principal, but 1t was not accepted by the father,
who went away threatening my arrest
This is a truthful statement of the case, and
you can compare it with the one before the
public and see wherein they agree. There was
no Uloodshed, and, to my knowledge. no tears
Imprecations and threats from the child were
prOfuse. The father of these children, who
treat the teachers with constant nsolence and
disobedicnce, instructs them, If any attempt is
made at punishment, that he will bring down
the police upon us. A few weeks since, when
speaking to an older sister about matter of
disorder in which she was concerned, she seized
flate, striking at me with it several times
and, when | lodged the blows. threw 1t at me,
and called out"Murder!" ''PoIce!" etc.
In conversation with the father, he acHnow-
ledged that he exacted obedience from his chill
dIen and whipped them TO secure 1t; yet he
teaches them to defy and insult their teachers.
If parents realized what effect their instructions
have in creating characterization in the schools,
surely they would adopt a different course; for,
in nineteen cases out of twenty, the necessity
for punishment would not occur were children
sent to school with right impressions.

MURDER WILL OUT
One Thousand Dollars Reward r. to Policeman.

One ThOusund DOHurB heWuru 10 n POIlceuans
The st. Louis Democrat of Saturday says
On the nth of September, 1867, Charles Glu-
esing, a teamster employed at a mill near Belle
vile, Illinois, was brutally murdered on the
road three miles this side of Belleville, while re-
turning from st. Louis with his wagon and team.
He had been in the habit of collecting money in
this city for flour sold, and the murder was no
doubt committed for the purpose of robbery.
He, however, had only little over sixty dollars
in his possession, and this sum was all the muir
derer receivedIfor his pains. The murder crea.
ated great excitement and indignation in the
vicinity of Belleville and reward of one thou
sand dollars was offered for the apprehension of
the murderer At that time no particular per-
son was suspected of the murder and as time
passed on the affair was almost forgotten, and
all hope of bringing the criminal to justice was
abandoned.
Murder, however, twill ont" The tenacious
memory of the detective and the police officer
retains the facts of crime long after they have
ceased to be thought of by the world in general.
The retributive hand of justice seizes the guilty
wretch In his fancied security and drags him to
the bar of justice when he least expects it, So
1t was with the police of this city in this case.
Months after the commission of the murder,
slight circumstances led the police detectives to
suspect certain man of the crime. At length
they became satisfied of his guilt, and for some
time looked for him with the intention of arrest
ing him. The man was in the South, however,
and only recently returned to this city. Among
those who were on his track was Officer Hide
brand, of the First district. Yesterday after
noon this officer succeeded in finding the man
he was looking for, and arrested him on q charge
of murder. The name of the man arrested Is
Charles Leperand, a German, who Is said to be-
long TO the gang of General Neff. He will be
sent to Belle vile for trial.
