The Chicago Times. in advisiI

with it's Democratic friends on the
Maine election, says: THE truth is
Mr.. Greeley is proving of more ser
vice to the Radicals in the character
of leader of the opposite party than he
was in the capacity of editor of their
principal organ. Can the men who
have been deluded or dragOoned into
promising him their support longer
resist the evidence of this fact? The
remedy is not yet out of their hands,
and if they fail to apply it they will
be guilty of squandering opportuni-
ties with profigacy that amounts to
Il radness."

The readers of the. LEDGER will nc
doubt remember the mysterious disap'
pearppce last spring Of oner Mr, Carter
after leaving q large sum % money al
Broarton's grocery store in Chelsea.
The man Carter came here By river and
stopped with bis wife ct Che Commercial
Hotel. Hiring u spring wagon he rode
out to Chelsea, as he said, in search of q
location, as he desired 70 invest money
IN this city. While in Chelsea he
stopped at Brearton's grocery to get .
drink and left bis poeketbook, contain
ingupwards Of q thousand dollars. on
the counter. The money was handed
over to the Chief of Police, to whom the
circumstances Of lis finding were made
known, and Immediately Captain Athy
instituted search for Carter with view
to returning the money to him. Subse-
quently it turned out that the money
was counterfeit, and Captain Athy then
determined IN continue the search with
unabated energy. Meanwhile, Mrs. Car
ter had gone to Grand Junction, giving
out that she was en- route for New Or
leans. The detectives, however, learned
that her baggage1-three boxes or trunks
had been shipped to Cairo by express.
The Sheriff Of the county in which
Cairo is situated was notified to be on
the lookout for Mrs. Carter, and the man
who should call for her baggage at the
Express Office. The boxes remained in
the Express Office at Cairo without being
called for until a few days ago, when a
low sized, red haired indigidualin but
ternut pants claimed the boxes on the
ground that be was Mr.. A. Carter,
the husband OF Mrs. N. Carter, to whom
the boxes were directed. The clerk in
formed Mr.. Carter that the freight clerk
vas out, but would be in in a few mo-
ments. Carter Immediately suspected
something and started out of the Office,
in hurry, going two miles up the river
TO take ferry.boat. He was, however,
intercepted by the Sheriff, who arrested
him, aud Sunday morning turned him
over to Captain Athy, who had been no
tilted Of the arrest. The boxes shipped
to Mrs, M, Carter we're opened and found
to coptain silver spoons with the initial
B engraved on them, though considera-
bly, dcfaced, quantity Of surgical and
dental instruments, and several bolts Of
linen and other goods. Carter refused
to tell anything about himself or give
any reference as to his character. Cap
tain Athy will Keep him in The station
honse until something further is dcvcl-
oped, which will no doubt be very soon.

The Excursion.


Everybody who has been SO fortunate
as to receive an invitation to the grand
moonlight excursion on the Emma G.

astic in praise of the admirable style in
which the invitations are gotten up.
They were executed in the LEDGER job
rooms by Messrs. James c. Crumpton
and George S. Skipwith, and reflects the
excellent taste of these gentlemen, who
have shown themselves masters of the
art preservatiye o., all arts. We have
seldom seen more beautiful specimen
of job work. On Thursday evening per-
sons holding these invitations will re-
pair to the Emma C. Elliott for an even
ing's pleasure such as they never knew

with which the excursion has been re-
ceived by the bon ton surpassed their ex-
pectations, and they do not doubt it will
be the biggest thing on water ever
known in this region OF country.

among the number; besides, all the old
favorites will appear, and will use their

transaction Of $1,000 at that figure; $751;
900 Arkansas levee bonds, sold recently,
we're delivered to-day at 24c.' There is
rumor current concerning them that
some Of the Arkansas State officials
have been buying largely through parties
in this city, and that, Notwithstanding
the assertion Of the State Treasurer, the
July interest, or at least q portion of it,
will be paid. The rumor can be traced
to no reliable authority, however, and
We give it for what it is worth. There
was some inquiry for city bonds to-day,
but no offers made public. Several par
ties, who sold short some time since,
will have to cover during the next few
days, aud that, perhaps, with other rea-
sons is the cause of their frmness.
Dealers state their willingness to sup
ply the shorts at 54c. We revise our
