A Trenton IN. j., despatch Of the

in good social stsnding. which took
place from this city last Monday, has
caused much comment. One Geo. W.
Wheeling, whose wife is living, and has
two young children by bin, took clan
des,ine departure with fair widow
named Smith. She is the daughter in
Ia. of a wealthy banker of this city Of
that name. Wheeler was = dealer in
human hair, and took with him about
$4,000 worth of bis stock. The woman
had about 81 800 in Government bonds
in her possession. She took along her
son who is eight years old. She is
about 2S years old and her new com
psnion about 35. The in'imscy was
brewing for some time. A Mira. Isaac
A. Dunn attached the remainder OF
Y heeling's property for debt Of $500.
Wheeling came from Baltimore to Tren-

different routes for an appointed place
of meeting. The runaway informed

The Near York World, apropos Of the
confirmation of Simmons, asks Brah-
minical Boston some pertinent ques-
tons:
"Have these good gentlemen been so
absorbed in making money in Massa-
chusetts that they have never heard of
Kellogg, and Durell, and louisiana:
Do they really think the nomination of
Simmons a worse outrage upon the
public sentiment Of great community
than the nomination OF Casey: What
have these gentlemen Of Boston ever
done to make such ''outrages" as these
impossible IN Massachusetts by making
them impossible anywhere IL America:
For the last decade this has been ruled
not by law at all, but by the brute
force of majorit;es and the skill of
cunning corTuptiOnists. These gentle
men of Boston have aided and abetted

tryman, Hang the laws. Let's have

they cot sl76.2S worth of brushes and

Civil Service Commission had room at
an expense of about SO per day. That was
money well expended. Without the Civil
Service Commission we might not have
had Simmons. The only really queStiona-
BILE feature in this statement IS the item Of
8. I30. 81 for newspaper subscription. We
call Mr.. Buffers attention TO it. The last
item in the account is two patent calcsiia-
tors, $1,000. And no one who has noticed
the Treasury calculations for a year past
will deny that they are worth it. 1t is per-
hans unnecessary to say that this document
has not been extensively circulated. The
Administration members OF Congress do
not desire the revival of the FranNing
Privilege in order to get it TO their constit-
uents. Still il is an interesting produc-

THE carpet-baggers know how to put
money in their purses. According to
the NeU Orleans Times, Kellogg must
obtain a nice little revenue from selling
pardons. The Times says: We have
been shown a letter from a pardoned
convict of the penitentiary, which rep
resents IN substance that a certain min
lister residing at Baton Rogue has been
using his influence to obtain pardons
for moneyed consideration. The letter
asked the prisoners friend to collect the
sum of twenty dollars from ten different
named parties two dollars EACH and
forward to the reverend gentleman for
that purpose. That request, we under
stand, was complied with, and in due
time the pardon was procured" OF
course the usurper who Yields the par
