A sT,LNGE SronY.-The Washington

A STRANGE SroRY.-The Washington
Patriot prints the following:
There figured during the exciting war
times in Washington a man named Purdy.
lie wss al officer in a regiment Of New York
volunteers, aud took part in quite number
OF battles. His mother. it is stated, was a
cousin Of Ex Secretary Seward, aud through
him he received his education. In the sum
mer OF 1868 he was sent to Washington on
an important mission by the commander of
his brigade. While here he gambl,d eff bis
own money. besides several thousand dollars
entrusted TO him by mem bers of his regimen.
to be delivered to the friends. B scomine
desperate, be forged Ex Secretary Stewards
name to a check for 81 900. and received
the money on it from a we'll known and es>
tecmed citizen Of Washington. Thsreupon
be Immediately left the city 10 disguise, and
after many barrow escapes from arrest
reached Omaha. He spent all the MONEY be
had in a few months. and went to Denver
He next turned up in Santa Fe. and married
the daughter Of Manuel Zapato, one Of the
weaithiest ranchers in New Mexico. One
Of his wife's brothers detected him in swind-
ling operation, and in a difficulty between
them he killed his brother-in law.
1t appears that after living with his wife
few months, and wandering into Nevada
ha also murdered her, after first securing all
hsr property in his own name. and then
made gooc his escape on the Western plains
He was fUally arrested near Lake Sewer,
New, by United States officers but as tbey
were bringing him into camp they were sur
prised by party cf twenty armed men, who
demanded the prisoner. and he was delivered
up. He was by them taken a short distance
from the road, and. after hasty examiua>
ton, sentenced to be shot. Half an hour
was given him to prepare for death. He
acknowledged that his object in marrying
the woman was to possess himself OF her
property, and that his intention was to kill
her when he learned that she had exposed his
operations to her father and brothers at Oe>
den. After giving short account of him
self, he told the party to finish him as soon
as possible if they meant business. When
asked II he had any message to send to his
friends, he said that he would "send dis
patch from hell and let them know" He
was shot and buried on the spot, and this
terminated the career Of Purdy.

The office>holders convention which met
at Philadelphia on Wednesday last. Isnomi>
mated Grant for President. This was fore>
gone conclusion, for the reason thas it was a
public necessity with the radical party tha,
1t should be made. The smiling face oi
Schuyler Colfax was very badly damaged by
the nomination on the first ballot of Henry
Wilson. of Massachusetts,. for Vice President.
This was an act OF base political ingratitude.
for Colfax has always stopped as low as any
other prominent radical in the country to
promote the interests of his party. He is a
far abler man than Grant, aud as they have
both been lovely in their political life, 10
their political death they should not have
been separated.

MITTEE OF sEyENTYs CHARTER.
About two months ago Henry L. Clinton
and Abraham r. Lawrence, jr behalf Of the Reform
ers drew a charter for Ais city which introduced
IN the Senate on the 18th Of February By Mr. Benedict
and referred 10 the Committee Cities II arranged
between Senator Palmer. Chairman. and Nr Clinton,
that the latter should be heard before tie Committee in
favor Of this charter When the time Irrved Mr. Clinton
was engaged counsel for the prosecution In the trial
of Mayor Hall that he unable 10 Keep his appoint
ent before the Senate Committee, and consequently no
hearing favor Of the charter was had It is now in
the hands Of that Committee report having been
made upon it,
Messrs Clinton and Lawrence have lately prepared.
and submitted to the Governor yesterday. a document
which combines special plea for the charter drafted
by themselves and argument against the Charter OF
the Committee Of Seventy, Which It Is argued will not
secure reform, "but, the contrary Will cause inex-
trcabe confusion and render the preparation OF frauds
far more easy than at present" For the purpose OF
showing superiority Of their own charter the
present one 40 points of difference are cited, and
the advantages presented 1t is claimed for their char
ter that II contains al the good with OF the bad
provisions Of the present and that it proceeds
the theory that far the existing law has worked
wei in practice better that remain 1t is,

but result only in mischief and confusion. The
