Monday in New York to Inspector Dilks
for permission for the Knights Templars to

should have to deny the request. The New

A GREAT LOSS AND NO GAIN.

There is an old saying that there is no
great loss without some small gain. If
this be laid down as a general rule, per-
haps it is sufficiently proved by remark
able discovery made by the Times. We
do not wish it to be understood as having
made discovery of its own, but it has
found one in the New York Tribune. A
Republican writer for that renegade
sheet has been tampering with the figures
of the census table, and mixed them up
in inextricable confusion. It is simply
impossible to straighten him out, as he
shows himself to be the champion idiot OF
the country in the somewhat difficult role
Of The Fool Among Figures 1t Will
serve our purpose to cite one example.
In speaking of the comparative wealth OF
some of the Southern States, before and
since the war, be treats US to the follow
ing:
The States in which the losses were great
est are: Alabama. forty-On per cent; Geor-
gia, forty seven per cent; Louisiana, forty
per cent; Mississippi, ftty-slx per cent;
South Carolina, tfty-one per cent, and
Texas, ffty-three per cent. These are the
census figures, the values being reduced to
gold, and the current price OF slaves being
deducted from the stables for 1860. Pre-
sented in tabular form. the statement STANDS

A HUGE FORGERY OF CENTRAL RAuRo.n
BONDS has been discovered. The extent TO
which they have been placed on the market
it is feared, will reach two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. A man named Williamson
is wanted, and broker named Brown has
been arrested. An impression, founded on q
long connection with the ''street," points to
Mr.. Brown being an innocent dupe of the
ADLER schemer. The forgery seems to have
been ably planned and the forged bonds were
hardly distinguishable from the good ones ex-
cept by experts. Like many another able vii
lany, it was discovered, however. 1t is now in
the hands of the detectives, whom we would
stimulate in their endeavors to unearth con-
spiracy fraught with such evil to the
commercial community. They have q
chance to distinguish themselves The extent
to which the various firms have been victim
lied it is at present impossible to state. The
keenness with which financial men will scru-
unize their bonds tomorrow will recall to
many the old wildcat times, when sharp
oe'ector was necessary TO every brokers' and
bankers Office

Woman, the cause of the most terrible wars,
is, of course, to be considered in CONNECTION
with the dark story which comes from the
Long Island village of Huntington. There is
something very painful in every link Of the
chain of events, which reaches back from the
finding of the mutilated remains of the young
farmer, Charles G. Kelsey, in the Sound, to
the days when he was first smitten with the
charms of the village belle. 1t covers period
of seven or eight years. Love- passion
which has had its careful analyzers among
the finest minds from immemoriai
ages, is still puzzle. What Edmund Burke
says of taste may be said of love-it is too deli
cate to bear the chains of definition. There is
pure ideal love which we call divine, but in
man or woman love is alloyed with clay, and
its exhibition bears all the consequences Of the
mixture. From Petrarch, in hopeless agony
carving the name of Laura on the trees, to the
strange, wild creature, Heathcliffe which
Emily Bronte imagined, and whose moody pas
sion she painted in such sombre colors,
the phases Of unsatis6ed yearning are very
WIDE Sensual craving comes to mar the
poets dream, and between love and
lust men are confounded in attempt
ing to judge how this passion operates
in others-often how it operates in themselves.
However compounded may have been the
young farmers passion for the young lady in
the case, it was certainly intense Neither
ears nor refusals damped its ardor. Letters
were written to the young lady which seem the
work Of madman or hase wretch, and while
they were on the one side attributed to Kelsey,
on the other side they were attributed to
parties anxious to ruin him in the lady's eyes.
Last November the unfortunate Kelsey, when
returning from a political meeting, was set
upon by masked men, tarred and feathered.
He ran to his house and was heard to descend
from his room to the we'll for water to wash
off the evidences of the shame hat had BEEN
put upon him. From the nanelessly mutt
lated state in which the remains were found it
is evident that he was brutally murdered by
those who feared Identification il the lynch
ing affair. The inquest was opened yester-
day at Huntington, and it is to b' hoped, now
that it is certain murder was dne, that the
guilty parties will be discovered. In any case
the details Of o strange story will 20 divulged
which will challenge the record Of passion
and crime for its fellow.
