NEW HAMPSHl RE.
A SwindIer Arrested .

MANCHESTER, Dec. ga man giving his
name as o. Bailey, claiming to be largely en-
gagged in crushing quartz in Placeryllle, Cal,
and to have arrived in New York city on the
18th inst, reached this city on Tuesday last and
Immediately contracted with S. G. Forsaith q
Co., of this city, merchants, for a lot OF ma
chinery, amounting to $1,000, to be shipped TO
California. In payment he gave draft on
Duncan Sherman & Co., of New YORK CITY,
bankers, who deny all knowledge OF Bailey,
and saw he has no credit at their banking house.
AT his hotel, just before leaving this city Tor
Vermont, he represented to Forsaith he had
dropped his pocket book containing his money,
and requested that Forsath telegraph Duncan,
Sherman & Co. to send him some money. On
these representations he obtained loan OF $50,
giving his check on his New York bankers as
before. He left this city Thursday, and Satur-
day City Marshal d. A. Simons started in pur-
suit of him and on Sunday, at o'clock, arrest
ed him in Montpelier, returning to this city
this afternoon with his prisoner. 1t has since
been ascertalned that he swindled Swain, Tur-
bine & Co. of Lowell, in the same way, their
bill for machinery being $2400. Before the ar
rival of Marshal SimOns in Montpelier, he had
purchased machinery of the Lane Manufactur-
ing Company amounting to $40, paying in
forged drafts on Duncan, Sherman u Co., as
before. He also obtained loans OF money IN
Lowell, the same as in Manchester, giving his
check in payment. He is about 70 years ola, OF
fine address, and carries with him large
amount of tracts and other religious publlca-
tions. in Montpelier yesterday he took prom
inent part in the exercises of one OF the reig-
ious societies 1t is believed he has not given
his right name, though he has made written
confession this evening of his smuggling Opc-
rations in New England.

favor with the ''fourth estate" by Joining IN
the ridiculous hue and cry against law which
contains no provision whatever affecting near
" or remotely the liberty of the press to de-
fame any man public or private, no matter
how grossly, or in what entire absence OF prov
ocation, will expose himself to popular derision
as soon as an accurate defnition.of the law can
reach the public ear, amid the noise and hal
loo of these crazed times.
The comments which have been made upon
the early demise of the N Y. Republic have
been based upon the erroneous idea or willful
MISREPRESENTATION that it was in some sort an
ssorgan' of the administration. In reality, it
was the personal adventure of an Over-sanguine
gentleman, who, while intensely devoted to
maintaining the ascendency of the Republican
party, was at extreme variance with the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet on the paramount ques
ton Of finance, and on the only occasion on
which he sought to speak oracularly from
partisan standpoint, announced views damet-
REALLY opposed to those entertained by the Ex-
ecative and the Treasury Department. A
more opposite illustration Of the inutllity OF
organs is to be found in the experience OF Mr.
Jaw Gould, who invested so large sum OF
money in the purchase of controlling interest in
the Tribune. That his stock speculation might
be abetted by the careful employment OF its
money articles in his service, he endeavored to
keep his ownership in the concern profound Sc
cret. 1t has, however, become so generally IN
derstood that it is his paper, that it may ham,
mer away at corporation for months without
affecting its shares perceptibly. The Times, per
CONTRA which is conceded to be an independent
sheet, and subservient to theiprvate interestslof
no individual or clique, has such prodigioas in
fiuence that in the case of the Pacific Mail Co.,
its expositions caused decline Of twenty per
cent. on the stock within few days. Time
was when the Tribune was power in the COM
munity At present it is utterly impotent
among readers of ordinary intelligence. Its Of
fensive personalities. its transparent mendacl-
ty, its impudent assumptions, and its habtual
i'll temper and Spleen have reduced it to such
an eouiyocal rank in journalism that its asser-
tions are of no more account than those OF the
numerous flash newspapers which trade IN
scandal and support precariors existence by
retailing the gossip of the town.

Consumption Can he Cured.

SCHEScK's PULMoNIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK'S SEAwEED Tonic,
--ra 1s- ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption. Frequently medicines that stop a
conoh will occasion the death of the patient; they
lock up the liver stop the circulation Of the blood,
hemorrhage follows, and in fact they clog the action
of fine very organs that caused the cough Liver com
plant and Dyspepsia are the causes OF twothirds OF
fhe cases of CONSUMPTION. Many persons complain
of dull pain in the SIDE constipation coated tongue,
main in the shoulder blade, feelings OF drowsiuesS
and restessness the food lying heavily the stem
ach accompanied with acidtY and belching up OF
wind These symptims usually originate from dis
ordered condition of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons so affected, ii they take one two heavy
colds and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked will find the stomach and liver clogged, re
manning torpid and inactive, and almost before they
are aware the lungs q mass of sores, and ulcer
ated the result of which is death. Schenck's Pull
uonic Syrup is an expectorant which does not con-
tain opium or anything calculated to check cough
suddenly Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolves the
food mixes with the gastric juices OF the stomach,
aids digestion and creates a raven0us appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin salow, or the
svmntoms otherwise of bilious tendency, Schenk's

Warmoih's Victim.
The funeral of the late Mr.. Byerly was
largely attended. Over eighty carriages were
in line, and hundreds OF persons followed on on
foot. Public sentiment inclines to regard the
homicide as justifable on the ground of self
defence. Gov. Warmoth is much depressed
in spirits. He expresses pain and regret at
unfortunate occurrence. During the day ne
has been called upon by Gov, McEnery, Lieut.
further steps have been taken in regard to the
projected duel. Upon Warmoth's liberation
from prison tomorrow the whole affair will
probably be referred to Court OF Honor,

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-The inquest into
the cause of the death OF Byerly, will be held

made an post-mortem examination OF the
body. There were found six wounds, only one
of which was superficial, being a slight nesn
wound over the abdomen. Any one OF the
other five wounds would have caused death.
