OUR SABLE WAR PATRIOTS.

Enlistment OF Fifteenth Amendment; in the
Late Wnr-A Recruiting Agent Looking
After His Pay and the C0lored Recruits
Looking After Their Bounties.
At that climacteric period OF our civil war, when
q niger was considered an appropriate target for
confederate bullets, quite active enlistment or
cOlored soldiers began in Steuben county. Taking
the lead in procuring these enstmens. Mr.. Con,
slant Cook anu Henry Sherwood, who also
employed TO assist them John Phyfe, certainly,
with drum which undoubtedly they procured
besides, very efficient auxiliary in the successful
prosecution of this kind or work. The serious part
Of the business Is that MIR. Phyfe has brought an
action against Cook and Sherwood to recover
$1,000 Tor services alleged TO have been rendered
by him for them In procuring these enlistments.
Aud this alone Is not the worst of IT. The cruel
was over. Time came for paying these same colored
recruits their 0oantles. Messrs. Cook and Sher-
WOOD also took charge of this part OF the business.
The county OF Steuuen, however, snspecting that
Cook and sherwood were not reliable agents,
for Sambo, brought an action to restrain Them rom
receiving ,he bounties of the coored patriots, and
Cook and Sherwood, fearing that they would be de-
1eated III SAID actlon seon after applied 10 ex-Gov-
ernor renton and his officials, AZ Albany and sue
ceeded, through adroJ poical management, III
getting II Is sta ed, over a quarter OF u million oil
collars rom ne state, which they despaned OF get
ting ron Steuben county. The deendanta, 10 is
alleged further, through remarkable absence Of
mind, have Jailed 10 pay to the saUe patrlotlc de-
tenders OF the Union their bounties ana phyfe for
his services Ill procuring the enlistment. suit
has been brought by the Attorney General OF tnis
State 10 recover back said moneys irOn Cook
and sherwood, which Is now pending, and the
poor coored soldiers may yet be rewarded iot their
patriotic services. Meantime motion was made
yeseriay, before Judge Sutherland, OF the Supreme
Court, ChainDerS, TO remove the suit from TINS city
to SteuUen county. Messrs. Doolittie, Davis and
Nelson urged the motion with great vehemence of
argument, and Albert Day, with ike urgent persist
ency opposed 1t. After listening TO the arguments
the Court denied the motion. Ibe case promises TO
he an interesting one when 1t comes TO trial. AS to
amendments are fghung as hard for that as ever
fney did in the war times.

STOCKS STRONG AND ACTIVE.

large business WAS done ut the Stock Exchange,
where ID buoyant feeling prevail ed. There IS sort
OF sober second thought coming over he minds OF
capitalists as to the real situation OF affairs IN the
country, and the conviction is growing strong tnat
the "bears'' overdid their work IN representing
everything In 50 gloomy light during their recent
violent attack upon tue stock market. Especially Is
this feeling increasing when IL is remem-
bered that the authors or the current delama-
tory theories OF the financial situation We're
the strongest kinds OF "oulls,r when Northwest

selling the pnolic a lew weeks ago to sell Northwest

Ohio and Mississippi at 2sh and st. Paul at

street about selling stocks when they are high and
buying them when they are low. The philosophers
who are now ecturlng the public on the subject OF
the immense decentralization OF moneyed investments
give the public advice exactly the contrary OF that
contained in the familiar OLD jest OF the street. Tae
upward movement OF to-day was steady and at
tended with few reactions, and those only OF
trnng extent, showing the really strong undertone
of the market. In fact, the only exception
to the rise was afforded in the Hannibal
and st. Joseph stocks, which suddenly
broke to S94 for the common and 1O2
for the preferred. shrewd suspicion attends this
''break,n however, in connection with the restora
ton to good standing OF certain Boston firms, to
whose embarrassment the fall had been originally
attributed. Now that these houses have resumed
operations the 'bears' In Hannibal and st. Joseph
found it necessary to maks desperate effort to get
