NUMBER IL
OF THE CENTRAL BOND
FoRGERs CAPTURED.

A special dispatch to the Chicago Times
from New York being dated April 10
says: A mysterious prisoner has been
held in the Tombs for some days, on sus-
piciou of being connected with the gang
OF railroad forgers who operated in Wall
street last summer. They negotiated over
81 100000 in counterfeit bonds Oh the
New York Central and Buffalo and Erie
Railway companies, before they were dis
covered. Among the victims were most
of the prominent bankers in the vicinity
OF Wall street, besides two trust COM
panies-the New York Guaranty and the
ldempity company--and the Buffalo and
Erie railway. The bonds were so cleverly
executed that the president of the latter
company said he bought $4,000, on
which bis own signature had been forged,
without suspicion as to their character.
The prisoner is understood to be LOUIS J.
Keepers, broker, believed to have been
one of the men who disposed Of 100000
of the forged Buffalo and Erie paper to
Saunders, Hardenbergh & Co. The de-
tectives had traced him to Buffalo, Rnch
ester, Cleveland, Chicago, and other cities
and arrested him On Tuesday in Boston
where he was acting az canVasser to o
lithograph firm, under the hame of 81. o.
Delaney. He is held on 90 indictments
for conspiracy and forgery Keepers
makes the tenth prisoner lodged IN the
Tombs, within the paet four months, IN
connection with the great forgeries. The
other prison ers are Andrew Roberts and
Edward Gleason, alleged TO have con-
ceived and furnished the capital for the
forgeries; DR.. Alvah Birdsall, of The Bur
dell-CUDningham murder noteriety; Ste
phen Raymond, who was extradited in
London; johnson, a lawyer; Brown, Yates,
and Franklin, who negotiated bonds, and
Stephen Ohlmsted, who did the printing
and engraving. The latter is to be used
as witness. The trial of the forgers, it
is thought. will begin this week. The
district attorneys officers say the evidence
will disclose the most astonishing forgery
on record in this country.

A SIMPLE DISINFECTANT.

One pound of green copperas, costing
seven cents, dissolved in one quart of wa
ter, and poured down a water-closet, will
effectually concentrate and DESTROY the
toulest smells. On board ships and
steamboats,, about hotels. and other pub
nc places, there is nothing so nice to pu-
rlty the air. Simple green copperas, dis
solved iu anything under the bed. will
render hospital. or other places for the
SICK, free from unpleasant smells. In
fish markets, slaughter houses. sinks,
and wherever there are offensive gases
dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about
and in a few days the smell will all mass
away. fla cat, rat, or mouse dies about
the house, and sends forth an offensive
gas, place some dissolved copperas in an
open vessel near the place where the
nuisance is. and it will purify the atmos.
phere. Then, keep all clean.

the Germans are go welded to beer that
they must rush to the breach at every
cry that beer is in danger. Why, what
do these papers mean? Will they assert
that the beer question: is a German ques~
ton? Is the beer mug the emblem of
German civilization, German intelligence,
German liberty? Are the brewers and
saloonists and beer bummers the repre-
sentatives of Germanism? Is the special
mission of tie Germans in America to
glorify beer? We have too high a regard
Tor German intelligence, German morality,
German plety, and German patriotism to
let the charge 60 out unchallenged. When
the German-American press adopts such
q line ofidefense, anG advocates the claims
OF COMMUNICATIONS on such grounds,
these latter may we'll exclaim, "God save
us from our friends" .es q
The great trouble With the German~
Americans is that they have no press to
represent the better element among them,
and that they are, as all citizens worth
having should be, jealous Of their rights.
By upon all occasions raising the cry of
nativism, the German press has ,hus far
succeeded in misleading them as to the
real issues involved in the great moral
movements which play so conspicuous a
part IN American politics. This cry,how-
ever will not always draw, and the time
is fast approaching when there will be a
better understanding and more harmoni-
Gus action between the good and true of
ali the nationalities comprising our. pop
ulati0n.

The Brisbane (Aus:ralian) Courier Of
December 30, 1878, publishes the follow

Cardwell on the 9th, and received by
the Queensland Secretary for Lands
"Since the goth of November we have

THE PEOPLES SPRING CHICKENS.
Fsom the Chicago Tribune.

b From the Chicago Tribune.
The recent victories at the town clec-
tons have been productive Of the most re-
markable crop of spring-chickens ever
known in this country. Such roosters as
are growing at the heads Of the country
newspapers never crowed before. For
instance, the st. Joseph ONO } Gazette has
q rooeter which occupies whole page.
As work Of art, is hardly chef d'@OUre,
and neither Lamputtner nor Snyders
proba bly, would own it. The engrsver
undoubtedly whitfield it with a jackknte
on pine board, but nevertheless it is a
defiant rooster in black and white with
tail erect and spurs which look like ship
spikes, and out of his mouth comes
scrolls about foot in length, with "Vic-
tory" inscribed thereon, and underneath
him the single word ""Scooped." The
facetious and jubilant owner Of the roostA

rooster, all tail and crow, every feather q
thing of beauty and q JOY forever, and
over him the editor has placed the encour-
aging advice: Split your old weazen.'
There is Springfield rooster, also, which
very closely resembles the one at La
Crosse, except that there is "Glory" above
him, GLORY" below him and on both sides
OF him. The Democratic Clarion, Mason,
ILL.,, has very little rooeter standing on

his looks bello him, his crow might have
been heard over in Missouri. The Hart
ford (Conn. Times has rooster standing
on the top of tie American flag, in def
arce of all laws of gravitation,and braced
for crow of the most stentorian descrip-
ton; while the Hartford Post Repu blican)
has rooster with draggled feathers,
lack-lustre eyes, drooping head, and weak
legs. All over the country the spring
rocsters have come OUT, and it must be
confessed they are strange lot. 1t is a
collection which hasn't been seen before
for good many years, and such gorgeous
tail feathers, and red combs, and wide
open mouths are novelty. Their long
confinement has given them fresh life and
new capacities for enjoyment, and the
way they arc scratching up gravel, and
filing the air with their clarion cries,a
strutting about to find some hostile roost-
or whom they can spear, lisa caution to
smaller birds. No pent-up Utica con-
tracts their powers. No more hencoops
for them. They are citizens of the world,
and are out for spree.

crusade, the New York Graphs declares
that the movament has not failed, nor is
it dead. Il has awakened new interest
in temperance. It has brought the whole

from the Chicago Editorial.

From the Chicago IImeS-Editorial.
Certain Journals calling themselves Demo
themselves Independent, are doing their
utmost to discredit the reports of troubles in
Dixie, to bel;ttle some very serious affairs
and to throw the blame of all the outbreaks
upon the blacks alone. It is gratifying to
observe, however, that the Conrier-.}onrssol
and the Missouri Republican, the former OF
which is as Democratic and the latter as In
dependent any, and both of which have
very good means of knowing whereof they
speak, treat these matters very seriously
This is especially gratifying because both Of
those journals are influential in the Southern
States. and a different course on their part
would tend to encourage the spirit of vio-
lence and law lessness which TO many partisan
sheets and sheets which claim 70 be indie
pendent. seem TO be doin their best TO excite
and infiame. The Republican. remarks in a re-
cent issue that matters are taking the very
course which it predicted, and proceeds as
follows:
we warned the country that the local
outbreaks at Somervillc, Tennessee, Austin,
Miss. and Augusta, Ga, would be followed
by worse local outbreaks in other places; that
both parties would arm themselves for the
this preparation would precipitate what it
ought to be the wish of Both to avoid; and
that if nothing were done 10 assuage the

A correspondent, writing from Helena,
Arkansas, says:
Let me tell your readers that the spirit OF
the old time never was more firmly upon
these people than now. Can you forget that,
but few short years ago, il was as much As
his life was worth for a man of Northern
sentiments 10 express his views on Southern
soil? To-day the South is reused TO white
heat because a Northern newspaper should
so far notice the killing of a negro by a mob
as to chronicle the event, especially if the
facts show that the victim had violated the
rights of a white man.
Two obstacles stand in the way of prsc-
teal Southern confederacy to-day-the
strong hand Of . Republican administration
OF the government and the Republican press
of the country.
Change the first, and remand the South
10 the tender nercies of the old slave-trsder.
and silence the second by making this coun-
try too hot TO hold the -hsll-houncsH who
narrate their nlisdeeds. and you have accom-
plizaed shs objects of the rebellion.
