Frauds in the Methodist Book

The report of Rev. John Lanahan, relating
to the frauds lately exposed in the Methodist
Book Concern" in New York. appeared in the
columns of the american, on Tuesday last. This
report was produced at the meeting of the
Preachers Association in Baltimore city, on
Monday Of this week, by Rev. Henry Scer
The report sets forth the fact that Mr.. Lana
han, on entering the Concern" as assistant
book agent, inquired of Mr. Goodenough, the
superintendent OF the printing department.
how and where the paper for the Concern was
purchased. The unsatisfactory answers recev-
ed, excited suspicion. The vouchers were then
called for by Mr.. Lanahan, when he was inform
ed there were none, but an order book pro-
duced in their stead. This Mr.. Lanahan re-
turned, insisting upon having the vouchers pro-
duced, which were finally brought forward
One of these showed on its face that $l3.8 per
ream had been charged for the paper purchased
under that bill Upon investigation it was dis
covered that the same paper cost only Sos per
ream at the establishment where purchased

lishment added to the price of the paper. In this
instance it was about % per cent.
This development lead to thorough investi-
cation, which revealed the fact that Campbell,
Hall & Co, had filled fifty-one orders for paper
for the "Concern" during four years, amount
ing to $l74, "a, upon which a commission
was paid to the agent, at the cost of the 'Con-
Germ" During two years from July, A. D.,

paper by single firm, and the amount paid for
it by the "Book Concern" the same party re-
ceiving from the "C,ncern' for other commits

DUEL IN New YoRK- Erecting Sword Combat
"A duel with broadswords occurred in New
York city at an early hour Monday morning,
between Senior Francisco de Porto, young Gu
ban, and Mr.. George Proude, young English
man Of some means and good standing. DE
Porto, il will be remembered, was severly woun-
ded last summer in duel fought with pistols, by
Senior dc Conto, editor of the Spanish journal I'll
Oronista. The origin OF the present duel was
slur thrown by Proude upon the Cuban Junta,
who be intinaed, were living like towards on
the struggles OF the patriots. The fight was ar
ranged to take place in "a room in fashionable
house in West Nineteenth street, and thtbcr, at
a late hour Sunday night, the combatanls, with
their friends, repaired. by 2 o'clock A. M. all
preiminaries were completed An account con-
taius the following description Of the fight
A dead silence ensued, while an ashy paleness
seemed to be the prevalent complexion Of every
man in the room. The word was given and the
duelsts crossed swords, and, having taken three
PAGES backwards the fight commenced. thirst
a slight timidity was apparent on both sides
not so much timidity, perhaps, as the nervous ex-
pectation incident TO the opening OF the encoun-
ter Finally, after some little hesitation, De
Porto advanced, Proude meanwhile on the alert
to receive him. The scene was exciting. All at
once the few spectators were startled by sud-
den cut made by Proude at the head of bis oppo-
hent, who, however, deity parted and retired a
pace or two. Up to the present both had observ-
ed a comparatively serene demeanor, but it was
evident the duel could not be prolonged one,
each being bent on deadly strife. Having again
crossed, great skill was displayed by both, their
eyes flashing with fire and endeavoring, as it
were, to penetrate each others intent.
| Admirable workmanship was displayed, the
cuts being rapid, well directed aud parried with
precision Up to the present, which was about
| five minutes from the commencement, De Porto
had escaped with slight scratch on the chest,
proude being unharmed, when suddenly DE Por
to offering tempting chance, Proude advanced
upon him aud inflicted diogansl cut upon the
right thigh 1t was a fatal move for Proude, fol
no sooner bad he leaned forward to make the cut
than, with lightning rapidly, De Porto follow
ing up tie contrafliO, gasbed his opponent on the
right shoulder, causing wound some FIVE inches
in length and about one and half inch in depth
His sword arm was disabled. Proude dropped
his blade exclaiming, Enough for to-day you
will give me my revenge another time" to which
De Porto replied, 81 am always at your DISPOSE
ton"
Subsequently the parties shook hands aud thu
wounds were examined. That inflicted on d.
Ponto though some eight inches in length, wa
scarcely quarter OF an inch in depth, Will
Proude's was OF II serious character, the bloo(
streaming from it in protusiOn. He was imme
diaely conveyed to his residence in Brooklyn

The 18th Amendment.

AS this fnisher of the faith of the fathers
announced as ratified by the requisite number
of states, and conformed as part of the organ
ic law of the land, and as the second section of
that Article authorizes Congress to secure its
execution by appropriate legislation, and as
the world refuses to move in some parts of the
United States, Mr.. Mortar, of Indiana, has in
troduced into the Senate Bill, providing for
its proper enforcement. 1t provides that all
citizens of the United States, without distinc-
ton of race, color or previous condition of SER
vitude, who are otherwise qualified by law to
vote, shall be entitle to vote at all elections
for President and for members of Congress- and
at all State, county, township and municipal
elections held under the authority of the Uni
ted States. or of any State. In cases where the
assessment or payment of any tax is qualii-
cation of an elector the refusal or wilful ne
glect to assess or collect such tax is made pun
ishable by fine not less than five hundred
dollars and imprise hnent one month and for
fixture of five hundred dollars additional for
each offence. Judges of election who shall re-
fuse to receive the votes of such persons are to
be punished to the same extent. The Circuit
and District Courts of the United States are
given jurisdiction over all proceedings under
the above provisions.
We think it would not have been objection
able to have included the registrars of voters,
as we'll as judges of election. However, the
"Civil Rights" bill will reach any check-mat-
ing in that direction.

AN ELopEMENr IN THE CouNTY.-An elope-
ment under peculiarly painful circumstances
occurred one day last week in the neigh borho I'd
of st. James Meeting House in this county
VIM C. Ridgely, native of the vicinity, a
wheelwright by trade, and for many years a
member Of the Methodist Church, left his wife
and six young children. and departed the
neighborhood in company with a Miss Eyll, Il
young lady of German extraction, said TO be of
remarkabls personal attractions, and the daugh-
ter of a respectable shoemaker who lives close
by Ridgely, who has heretofore been looked
upon man of the best character, recently
mortgaged his property to the amount OF sew
eral hundred dollars, leaving it is said, only a
small amount with his wife, who is cucumber
ed with SIX helpless children. The full par
tculars Of the affair we have not been able to
ascertain, but enough has been learned to JUS
tify its being characterized Que Of those
wretched and lamentable affairs which seem
to be among the legitimate results of this pro-
gressive age of social and moral revolution
The sympathies of the community are, of course
actively enlisted OH The side Of those who have
been SO terribly stricken by this shocking NOR
al calamity.
The parties are said to have left during the
night in buggy, and so far there has been no
trace discovered oftheir course or whereabouts.
