wanted one OF the purchasers to 60 to the
hank with bin to endorse draft on bis
house for $25 as he said be was out of funds
Th e gentleman so solicited, however, hay

fire before, politely declined. A suspicion
at once enteled his mind that the young
man was swindler, and he telezraphed

had any such agent. The reply sooe came
that they had not, but that some swindler
bad been drawing on them, from various
points. This was sufficient grounds fol
further proceedings. The order for twenty
barrels Of oil was duplicated, Monday morn

was then arrested on charge of obtaining
money under false pretences. and thrust
into the Jail, where be yet laneuisheth,

The grandest political demonstration ever
witnessed here, is now in progress, in honor
of the recent Conservative victory in this
State. The railroads and steamboats, brought
in hundreds of persons frsm other counties this
evening. There is grand Illumination, torch
light procession and bonares; the whole city
Is alive with excitement, canons are firing and
display Of fireworks is taking place. Thou
sands of persons are in the procession and on
the streets, but good order and feeling univer-
sally prevail. There are no notices, devices
or transparencies to give offence to the defeated
party, and everything was conducted in the
most dignifed and conclliatory manner.
Among the speakers was Colonel Waddell, Con-
servat!ve Congressman elect. His speech was
considered important, as foreshadowing to
some extent the future policy of the Conserva-
tive party with regard to the negroes. The
following Is an extract:
without presuming to dictate to others, l
