GENERAL NOTES


BRIsTow is satisfied with New, and
New is satisfied with Bristow. That
settles it. The country is safe.
JOHN KYEFERLY, the proprietor of
one of the largest iron founderies in St.
Louis, died on the 2Sth ut. of cholera.
"THE Baltimore Gazette is of the opin-
ion that Democratic victory in Ohio
this fall will be sure presage of the de.
feat of that party in the national contest
next year
AT Troy, y. Y, on Thursday, work
man named Benjamin Rousseau, while
grinding stove plate against the emery
wheel in such II manner that a fifteen
pound fragment flew of, striking him on
the head-daShing out his braiLs.
A WANDERING Yankee writes from
Virginia, that no one from the North
had better come 20 that State until the
present feeling dies out. II he does he
must run the risk of being seized, stuffed
and killed with meat, drink and hospital
ity Bunker Hill Is the cause of all the
trouble.
ANOTHER railroad war is threatened
The Chicago Tribune, of the 18th ult.
says. There is another railroad war in
prospect which promises to exceed IN
magnitude the one between the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania roads, just
closed. The battle this time will be
mainly between the st. Louis and Kansas
/ City roads, but there is hardly doubt
/ that all the Western lines, including
those of Chicago, will be compelled to
take hand in it before long,
"THE way of the transgrcssor is hard, y
so saith Holy writ, and its truth is being
exemplifed by the fate ofthe South Caro-
lima carpet -baggars. They have had
things their own way fCrs long time, and
have robbed and stolen much; but now
we read in the advertising columns of
their own organ ut the capital of the
State, that the property and effects
of L. S. Senator John j. Patterson, ex-
Congressman Elliott, Adjutant General
Purvis and ex-Controller Nagle are pub
lished to be sold by the Sheriff,
THE conduct of Duncan, Sherman "
Co. in transferring property on the eve
of their failure, does not meet with uni
verssl appreciation. The Troy Times,
for instance says: "That gilt.edged firm
are discovered 10 have made transfers OF
u million and quarter OF property with
in Il week, under various deeds apparent
" prepared from one to seven years ago,
bu. not signed until the emergency
arrived for which they had been pro
cured. This may not be dishonesty, but
dishonest firms have done the same thing,
and it is known as an old dodge
IT looks very much as if Bill Tweed
was, through the Interpretation of the
law by New York Judges, likely to
escape prison and hold on to his i'll gtten
gains at the same time. Shortly after
the exposure of his frauds, he and his
pals robbed the Comptrollers office of II
large number of forged and altered
vouchers upon which large sums had
been paid, and destroyed them. Now
Judge DOnohue rules that the vouchers
must be produced before the prosecution
can make COED their case. Being de-
Stroycd, they cannot be produced.
IT is stated that C. A. Evans, of Au-
gusta, Georgia, was, during the war, at
the battle of Monocacy, Maryland struck
in the left side by II MIME ball. 1t also
struck paper of pins in his coat pocket,
and carried some Of them INTO his flesh
For some time past he complained of
severe pain abou. the spot where he was
wounded. About week or two since a
bump about as large as a pigeon egg was
raised on the spot where the pain was
most severe. A few days ago three or
four pins worked out of this bump, and
it disappeared at once. Thus for eleven
years Mr.. Evans has been II walking pin
cushion
ABOUT sixty gentlemen from New
York, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia, as
sembled at the Commercial Exchange in
the latter city on Friday to examine the
combined liabilities and assets of three
bankrupt iron firms: Gerry, Tilton &
Colwell, of New York; the Pittsburgh
Iron Bolt Works, and the Gi-ard Tube
Of al
phia. The paper of these firms had be-
come inseparable by mutual endorse
ment, and it was hoped that all combined
might pay something The examination
was not finished; but the liabilities of
the firms far exceed their assets, and the |
outlook for the creditors is gloomy. To-
tai liabilities exceed $l,l9l, l,3Sl.2l.
Hon. JAS. S. MARVIN, proprietor of
the United States Hotel at Saratoga, a |
director of the Vanderbilt railways, and !
one of the richest men in that cummuni- |
", said recently: The condition of the |
country will exert an enormous influence |
on the Presidency. l predict that this
year and next year We will have two !
crops that will bring us solvency and |
prosperity back, and immensely affect |
the voters in the direction ofsound views !
and public content" In this the Hon.
Mr.. Marvin, rich hotel proprietor, &c, |
evidently means the prediction that the
voters will vote the Republican ticket in
20 In view ofthe great destruction OF
crops by the rains and floods, one of his
predictions are as likely to be verified as
the other.
