aev. HOraee Cook, Pastor OF the zth
street ~. + Church, Leaves with
Miss Johnston.
The sensation last week, in New York,
was the elopement of Rev. Horace Cook, of
the Seventh Street Methodist Church. with
a school girl of sixteen, named Martha
johnson. The reverend has been married
sixteen years, and has promising son
aged fifteen.
Mr.. johnson, the father of Martha. is
one of the trustees of the Church, wealthy
and highly respected. Martha was only a
school girl, and was about to graduate in
the Twelfth Ward Public School. A more
than ordinary intimacy had been noticed
between her and the pastor of the church
to which she had only been recently con-
verted, but the girl was always so inno-
cent that no particular suspicion was
aroused.
The whole of week before last Rev. Hor-
ace feigned sickness. On Friday he left
his house empty handed, and told his wife
he would be home at the evening services.
He met Miss Johnsonon the street, going
home from school and they left on the cars.
On Saturday Miss Martha's father received
the following letter:
II love Matte; will care for her ten
derly, kindly, lovingly. Inconsistent as it
may appear with my present conduct,
ask for no mercy, but am ready TO part
with my life for the possession of the wo-
man 1 adore. Poor Cook"
Mrs Cook received, the same afternoon,
letter from the miscreant, in which he
says. Il am on the lost plank; you viii
never see my face again. hope Baldwin
will be better man than his father"
The poor woman is so distracted that the
physicians fear that brain fever may setin.
Miss Martha's brothers threaten to shoot
the pastor at sight Said the father last
Monday "If midnight assassin had
come into my house could have defended
myself, but the pastor of my church, the
minister of the gospel, to steal my child is
more than can stand"
On Wednesday he returned to the city
and sent letter to Mr. Johnston saying
his daughter was at the Everett House
Mr.. ]. went Immediately and took his
daughter home. On Thursday the rever
end scoundrel went to the World office
and assaulted one of the editors but was
forthwith gobbled up by the police and
put into station house. No one appears
against him in the morning, he was dis
charged. He publishes letter in Gree
ley's Tribune, a sort of free love, wo,

returned pure as she was when she went

Too MANY GENERA1s.-The President
of the United States Is COMMANDMENT
Chief of the Army and Navy. His i'm
mediate army subordinate is General Sher-
man. Sherman, as General, has only one
direct subordinate, Lieutenant General
Sheridan. The latter has command Of six
Major Generals, Halleck, Meade, Thomas,
Hancock, Schofeld, and Augur. The
question occurs as TO the wisdom of so
many high military officers; in a Republic
like ours, in a time of profound peace.
Some Of them are simply comfortable
sinecures for the ineumbents. Congress
should abolish either the grade of General
or Lieutenant General as a measure OF
economy and consistency.-Rep.G and Rep.
Of Iast week.
Why, this is Just what we have been
preaching and voting right along-and we
are glad to see our neighbOrs talk such
good sense for once. Now, let US vote for
good men to Congress who will try and
change all this
Another matter we call attention to is
this thing of keeping generals and armed
forces in Georgia and other states, to gov
ern those states when they are entitled tc
and capable of self government. without
this expense. These fat "sinecures" posi-
tons for pulled up favorites of the powers

[From the Lafayette EInd) ) Courier, Jan.4l
A shoemaker named McWilha1ns, alas
Charles Scott, was arrested in this city
Yesterday afternoon. The arrest was
made by Frank Howe, of Michigan City
He had telegraphed to Sheriff Smith, and
was met at the train by the Sheriff Plans
were Immediately laid for the arrest.
A gentleman from Michigan city who
knew McWllliams personally, had accom-
panied the detective, and walking down
Main street, met the very man he was af-
ter The recognition was mutual. They
took a drink together, and walking out
they met the detective, who at once took
McWilliams to Jail The prisoner was
very much agitated Inquiry into the
circumstances of the case, and the crime
with which the accused Is charged, devel-
opes the following facts: A year or more
since a wealthy farmer named HertZler,
residing near Springfield, Ohio, was muir
dered for his money. He was killed with
a shot gun. A man named Charlie Scott,
who is supposed to be the prisoner, was
arrested, together with an accompGce.
The two were lodged in Jail, but, on the
morning of May II, broke out, and have
since been at large. This man went to
| Pokagan, Mich, where he worked for
/ awhile at his trade, snd then set up lit
| tie shop of his own. One night at his
clearinghouse he was heard to mutter
something about murder" in his sleep.
| When questioned about it he exhibited SO
much confusion that an inquiry was insti-
tuted into his antecedents. An anony-
nous letter was sent him to this effect ::
your connection with that murder is
well-known, and you had better light out
suddenly" signed-"a friend" The day
after the receipt of this note he left town,
| telling his boy in the shop that he was go
ing East to buy stock. He took the east
bound train to the first station, where he
got out, and waiting for the west-bound
train, got on, and was never seen in Polka
gan again. This was a month or two ago.
| He was followed to Fairbury, Illinois,
where he has relatives; thence to Battle
Ground, and from Battle Ground to La
fayette. He was confined IN our county
jail last night, IN the expectation that pos
sibly he might be identified as the muir
derer of COrwin, the Valley Road conduct
| or. There are some circumstances connec-
ted with his history pointing in that di-
rection, but the brother OF Corwin, when
brought into his presence this morning,
promptly declared that he was not the
man. Mr.. Howe, the detective enter
tains no doubt of his connection with the
Springfield murder. He is about 26 years
of age, well dressed, has high cheek-bones,
bad eye, and curly hair worn rather
long. A reward of $1,000 is offered for
his arrest by the authorities at Spring
field. He has a wife in Ohio, another at
Watseka, Illinois, and had offered his
gushing heart and hand to young lady
at Battle Ground. He had formed but
very few acquaintance in Lafayette. He
was taken to Springfield on the afternoons
/ train.

.HARn TIMES. ;,

There is a general feeling among the
people that "hard times" are upon us.
This is especially so among laboring peo-
pie. q large portion of whom are at pre-
sent out of employment Even in Can
ton there are very many mechanics and
laboring men out of employment. The
increased taxation, the enormous debt,
the bad currency, and the extravagant ad-
ministration Of public affairs, are begin
ming to tell upon the great interests Of
labor and business For instance in 1868,
the failures in New England were 81, ,5s4,
600; in 1863, $ll, ,9OS,OOO In the State
of Pennsylvania in 1868 the failures were
So, $4,000; in 1859, $7,ss4, 900. In 1868
New York showed failures $2,4l0,OOO; in
1869, $7,lS5OOO. The worst of it is that
we have probably not reached the worst
The general opinion is these financial
crashes are on the increase and the ex-
penditures of the Grant Administration
are also on the increase. Congress prom
Ises nothing by way of remedy. They
are engaged taking care of the moneyeG
power and the negro exclusively.

FOREIGN NEWS.

PARIS, on the 18th was apparently on the
verge of insurrection. An extraordinary
excitement pervaded the city. The great
hall in which the Corps Legislatif debated
the question of the arraignment ofRoche-
fort, was surrounded with immense crowds
of people. The Place de la Concorde and
the quay of the Tuileries were jammed
with a frantic, surging multitude The
military and police occupied the neigh
boring streets in force, and the Point de Ia
Concorde was closed to passengers. The
debate in the Chambers was characterized
with extreme violence, Upon the sugges-
ton Of moderate republican that the
government had better abandon the pros
ecution, the Premier, Olivier, replied that
if the Chamber refused to arraign the arch
agitator, the Ministry would resign
Rochefort made bitter speech, and was
cheered from the lobbies and gallery.
Finally the Chamber came to vote and
the demand of the government for the ar
raignment of Rochefort was carried by an
overwhelming majority-226 to a. When
the result was announced to the mob out
side, tremendous demonstration of SYM
pathy for the prisoner took place, it is feared
that this Rochefort business would not be
finished without blood-letting.
