SINGULAR CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Some months ago Charles Diehl of Grand
street, New York, mysteriously disappeared.
About two weeks after the body of man
corresponding with his description, but
greatly decomposed, was found with pis-
tol shot wound in the head. The mother
in-law of Diehl visited the Morgue and
recognized the body as that of her son-in-
law. His wife also called and said, ''Ycs,
that is my husband" The coroner surren-
dercd the body to them and twenty-oue
dollars which had been found on his per-
son, and the corpse was duly buried in the
family vault. On Wednesday Mrs. Diehl
received letters from her husband, saying
that he is at Key West and will return in a
few months.

Brother johnson of the VermOnter, goes
for Hiram Green, late Justice of the Peace
(W.A Wilkins) of the Whitehall News, in
the following ferocious style on the sea
serpent question. Put on the brakes John
son, or you will burst your boiler
Johnson thus talks to Hiram: The
Whitehall Times has heretofore held a
reputable place among journalists, but
what shall be said of paper that, with
malice aforethought, appropriates another
editors Sea Serpent? This the aforesaid
Times has "gone and did," By right of
discovery; by every just claim that could
be put forth for so slippery and irrespon-
sible an animile, the Lake Champlain Sea
Serpent was ours. Did not Commodore
Bissell and party, of the Vergennes
Yacht Squadron, interview" the
sarpint near Shelburn Bay, said
monster "going faster than any steamer,
you know" thirty feet of his body in full
view, showing string of punches on his
back" not as large as barrels? and did not
Vnis % ~. VI uhtoli, anu parry
have clear view of our snake, and didn't
the snake ''make the whole bay boil, when
he turned and elevating his head high in the
air, shook his terrible name, to the wonder
ment of all beholders Still more, did
not his snakeship plan visit up the river
to the falls in this city, and while lazily
contemplating the details wasn't he mis-
taken for log, and unccremoniously in
terrupted by the steamer Curlew? And
has not his appearance at divers other times
and places been chronicled in these most
veracious columns? "Ofcourse it is"
Surely these facts are kept in fresh re-
membrancc by the chroniclers, when up
starts the Whitehall paper with an impro-
bable yarn, born in 4th of July potteen,
about a thousand legged monster from Lake
Champlain rifing barn yards, clearing hen
roosts, and indulging in mutton. No res
pectable sea serpent would stoop to such
meanness. Never catch our snake lower
ing his dignity in that manner. But
dearth of items fell upon White Hall, and
in spirit of righteousness for which we
can find no name in''Webster on Bridge"
the editor of that paper dares to array our
sea serpent.

Captain Hart, who is described as one
of the Coolest and ablest officers of the
police department" of New York city, once
told committee of the New York legisla-
ture that the only question he failed to an
swer, when applying for admission to the
bar, was show man can go to the legis-
lature, get three dollars a day, pay five
dollars day for his board, and lay up
money" Although this remark was made
for the purpose of turning the tables upon
certain members of the committee, in the
matter of joke, yet it is as full of instruc-
ton and warning as an egg is full of meat.
Our legislature, happily, has SO far escap-
ed contamination, but we know not when
or how the door will open, and corruption
stalk in. 1t is not, however, to the matter
of legislative corruption that we desire to
call attention at this time, although 1t may
be intimately connected Herewith. The
danger may be great, but so long as every
town in the state has its representative
and, even, if the state should ever be dis
tricted for epresentation-there are so
many towns situated far from all danger
Gus influences, and peopled by class of
intelligent, reading, honest citizens, SO that
controlling element will always find its
place therein, which can neither be bought,
bribed, cajoled or frightened into jobs We
are, however, a part of the United States,
and that which affects her honor and in
tegrity affects ours. We travel abroad as
American citizens, we obtain our recogni-
ton AZ such, and are only protected be-
cause we are entitled to that name. We
are, therefore, deeply interested in the
conduct of other states, because their dis
grace is the disgrace of the country, and
that disgrace is, also, borne by us as an in
tegral part of the nation. We know that
when the state of facts referred to in the
anecdote occurs, that there Is and must be
jobbery and corruption somewhere. II is
inevitable, and the position is sought for
such purposes and for no other.
Let us take another case. The constitu-
tion provides that private property shall
not be taken for public use without lust
compensation. AS corollary of this
would follow the proposition that the gov
eminent should not accept of contracts,
when tits evident that, by the terms thereof,
there is not only no just compensation for
the services required but no compensation
at all. Such contracts are not only In VIC.
lation of the spirit of the constitution, but
are suggestive of jobbery somewhere. The
government, as matter of justice to itself,
has no right to accept of the services of its
citizens or receive the fruit of their labor
without affording them compensation there
for, reasonable in amount and properly

A LUNATIo ABRoAD.-A crazy man
named Gustus G. Sherman, living in Glens
Falls, was, on complaint of his family, con-
fined in jail on the 18th inst, and allowed
the use of large room. During the night
he obtained an old shovel handle and with
this dug a hole through which he squeezed
himself and dropping four or five feet to

with the fine articles displayed in Boyds

whom he had shot in cold blood and killed,
adding that the deed had haunted him by
day and night till he had no comfort save
in confession. On telegraphing to Peoria
it was found that no such crime had been
committed there. Searles then stated that
he had killed Armstrong at Mendoza. In
designations are going on, but the man is
probably monomaniac.

there is too much pretence of economy
without the substance thereof. 1t is no
uncommon thing, either, for departments
to exceed their appropriations, and, there.
after, call upon Congress to make up the
deficiency. This is bad enough, as an aid
to sham economy, but 1t is vastly better
than openly, wllfully and persistently vio-
lating the law. The sooner those in au-

obey the laws, the better it will be for
them and the country as well as for indi-
viduals. Ntl

Capt. Pepper was elected comptroller of
this city yesterday, without opposition.
This is very singular event of itself; but
then there were some other very sin
gular incidents connected with it. There
was no party nominee in the field Both
parties tried to nominate candidates ia the
usual style, and both failed in very un-
usual manner. The Republican committee
held several meetings, but finally came to
the conclusion that, as they could not elect
a Republican candidate, they had better
not try to. The Democracy took the trou-
BILE to nominate very reputable either.

Several members of the Democratic cen
trail committee recommended Mr. Mae
Adam, but he was unwilling to make the

the meantime Capt. Pepper was called on
in public card by number of citizens,
Democrats and Republicans, to offer him
self as a candidate. He did so, and has
been elected.
Was such a thing ever seen before? Here
are two great political parties that have
