CHICAGO GRAIN GAMBLlNG.-C Chicago is
becoming famous for 'corners. F" A few
weeks ago it had corner in pork, and lew
DAYS ago had corner in corn. a Cnlcago
correspondent of the New York Horld cells
how it was effected
"Tbe corner in corn this week has OF
itself been too trivial an affair to justify the
very extensive advertising it has received.
No. 2 was steady at shade better than 81
cents, when Mr.. SturgeS, leading operator
in corn and heavy short, sold down TO ~
cents and 70 cents, with view to reducing
the average price of the day to a rate that
would let him out. Finding the market
still firm. he threw out 400, 900 bushels at ~
cents. The moment this gambler re-
tired the market ran back to 81
cents and 81 cents, and, this not
suiting him, he unloaded another large
quantity at 80 cents. sturges was only ami
mated by desire to get even with Lyons
Lester s. Co. and G. P. Comstock-& Co., VINO
in July had failed to settle with him ana ae.
liver corn. They in turn claimed that that
was physically impossible, as he had only
given them some two minutes wherein to 40
so. Litigation has tied up some Sl50,O0O ID
margins, the cornered refusing to abide by
the Boards decision fixing the basis OF settle
ment at 68 cents. Some further litigation
will be brought about by the present quar-
rel, inasmuch as it will be claimed that the
Sturees sales were fictitious, and SO not en-
titled to be taken into consideration in deter
mining an average"

Alabama Affairs.

MONTGOMERY, October 10.-General R.
w. Healey, United States marshal for Ala
bama, has appointed some dozen or two
deputy marshals upon the recommendation
and request of Charles e. Meyer, chairman,
of the Republican Executive Committee of
this State. These deputies have been sap
pointed in the negro. counties for election
purposes exclusively, and are all Republi-
cans.
Reports from Sumter are that all is quiet.
Sheriff williamson and Coleman, the latter
negro, arrested charged with the murder Of
Ivey, have been released by the United
States commissioner.
Captain Mills, of the United States troops
at Livingston. has received orders to put no
more persons in Jail, but to try them as soon
as arrested, as the howl about the treatment
of prisoners was getting too hot.
The drought in this portion Of the State
still continues. 1t bias cut off the cotton
crop about one-third, and ruined the pea,
sweet potato, and turnip crops. There have
been no good rains in three months.

New YORK, October 10.-The Illness
New Orleans special says: Kellogg having
in his recent address signifed his willingness
to abide by count of the returns Of the
election Of 1872 by board of arbitration,
prominent Democrats propose that the re.
turns now secreted by order of the McEnery
returning board be brought forward and
canvassed anew with the view to final set
Element of the contested election case. In
order to effect this arrangement it will be
necessary for both parties and the several
candidates on each ticket to agree to submit
to the decision of the arbitrator. The pro-
position has not yet been formally submitted
to Kellogg, but there is reason to believe he
is so well satisfied of his election by large
majority that he will agree toit if the arai-
tration can be fairly conducted, and the De.
mocrats give proper guarantees of sincerity
and good faith"

OUTRAGE COMMITTED AGAINST 1ND1ANs.--
The commission, consisting of Frank ID.
Smith, of Washington city; Wilson Shan
mop, of Kansas, and j. W. Smith, of Arkan-
saS, who were appointed to investigate the
facts relative to the recent alleged murder OF
five Usage Indians by Kansas militia, have
submitted their report to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. They find, as the result
of searching investigation, that the attack
on these Indians was unprovoked and utterly
unjustitiable. The Osages were few in num-
Der, were away from their reservation on leave
hunting buffalo, had engaged in no hos.
tile demonstrations, and were fred upon
without either past or present provocation.
The statements of the captain Of the militia,
made at different times to the contrary, are
found to be self.contradictory, and at vari-
ance with all the surrounding circumstances
and probabilities. The commissioners pre-
sumo that when the attention Of the authori-
ties of Kansas is called to the evidence in the
case they will not hesitate to direct The re-
turn of the property captured from these
friendly Indians; and it is recommended
that in any event the Government OF the
United States should see that the Osages are

Discovery AT HERcULANEUA.-An lnte'
resting discovery of a life.sized female bust IN
pure silver has lately been made at Hercuia.
neum. The work, according 10 an accoun.
GIVEN in the Patrie, is in state of excellent
Preservation, and is the only specimen of its
kind which has been found during the course
Of the excavations. Atfirst the material WIS "
thought to be only bronze, the action OF inc
SULPHUR having somewhat altered the ap.
pearance of the surface, and the suiphate OF
Silver which has formed upon the J, !, metal ssa
yielding black color like that found IN Inc
conmonest sort of material. The bust was
removed to the museum, when one OF the
KEEPERS. struck with the unusual tone of the
bronze, scraped away part Of the surface surface
and at once came upon the silver beneath.
A discussion has arisen whether the work
was originally cast or chiselled, but there
seems now little doubt that the former by po'
thesis is correct. The head is that Of young
and beautiful woman. but as yet the features
have not been identified with that of any
other eYtant head. ;a

The remark was understood to refer to the

the discussion of that matter as unworthy Of

\ FRAUDULENT INSURANCE COMPANY
From the Philadelphia Press, October OIL
A well-laid scheme, fully illustrating the
modern method OF making money fast, has
just been uuearthed in this city. 1t also
shows how easily an insurance company may
be organized by means of the present pro-
cess of raising bonds.
Pinkerton's detectives have arrested
Charles Ripley alias Oliver Austin alas
John w. Carter, in Brooklyn, on requisi.
ton from this city. The warrant charged
the accused with forgery, altering bonds,
sc. He was found at his clearinghouse,
No. 266 Washington street, and expressed
no surprise when confronted by the officers.
The persons with whom Ripley was con.
nectcd had some $4,000 capital. In
order to organize an insurance COM
pauy they were required to have
5000, so they bought railroad bonds,
and altered or raised the figures OF the
bonds to higher amounts. A one-thousand-
dollar bond they would raise to ten thou
sand by adding cipher. This being done,
they then deposited them with the State e1-
aminer of Pennsylvania. In looking over
them he detected the alteration, and pro-
ceeded ut once to have Ripley and his asso-
ciates arrested. In Ripley's rooms, on
W aSnlDStOn street, were louue uieS, piiut
ing press, bond paper, and all parapherna-
liza requisite for the preparation Of the bonds.
The accused is also said to be an expert
counterfeiter. He is an Englishman, about
fifty-tive years of age, well educated, and OF
very good address. 1t is said he has been
engaged in many swindlng schemes, has
often been arrested, and has served term
in State prison for forgery.
Several Of the dies contained the names
of officials of prominent railroad companies.
The names of all the companies whose bonds
were forged could not be ascertained, but II
is certain that the Union Pacific, Central Pa
cific. and Reading and Philadelphia Railroad
Companies, and Western Union Telegraph,
are among them. The forged bonds are I'M
derstood TO be all in possession OF the State
Controller of Pennsylvania.
Carter told the officers they did not re-
quire reqnsition from the Governor, as be
would accompany them willingly, and save
them the trouble. He also remarked that the
evidence they had was not sufficient to con-
wet him of forgery. 1t is understood that the
prisoners associates are under police suryell-
lance.
