COUNTEnFEsTERs CArTUnED.
Two Dangerous Operators Hunted
Down.


Special dispatch TO the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, ID. O., Oct. 22.-The
Secretary of the Treasury and Secre-
tary Wilson were much gratified to-day
over the fact that Elmer Washburn,
Chief Of the Secret Service, had arrest
ed Boyd and briggs, the most expert
engravers Of counterfeit plates, and tho
largest dealers in spurious money in
the country. Both were captured in
Illinois, but in different parts Of the
State. The raid was made under the
personal supervision Of Chief WASH
burn, he attending to the place Of the
manufacturers at Centralia, while an op-
crative of the secret service, with two
men, apprehendsd the engraver at Full
ton. on the Mississippi River. The lat
ter, whose name is Ben Boyd, was
caught at work, and in his room was
found $40 plate, a 800 plate, and
81 900 plate, all unfinished.
AT oENTRALn
the Chief and three operatives captur-
ed the press and all the accompanying
material, besides several plates and a
large amount Of bogus money recently
printed. In the house they found man
named Stadfelt and his wife, and the
wife OF Nelson briggs and his partner,
Charley Stadfelt, made their escape
from tho house just previous to the ar
rival Of Washburn, and were pursued
eight mile on horseback by Washburn
and two men, and finally surrendered
IN a piece OF timber, when they had
been
SHOT AT MANY TIMES.
The arrest Of Boyd and briggs is Of
the greatest Importance, since no de-
vice, however injurious, in engraving,
could be planned in the Treasury Bu-
reau of Engraving Boyd could not
successfully initiate. 1t was he who
engraved the five dollar Traders of
Chicago plate, which passed for long
time even among bankers without sus-
picion. Within the last year the name
on this plate has been changed to the
Boston Bank, the Canton Bank and
within the last month, to the Aur-
ora Bank of Aurora, ILL.,, large num-
bers of which notes are now i'm circula-
tion. Seven persons have recently
been arrested for passing Aurora fives.
BY tho capture OF these two men. the
business has received a
blow from which it will not soon re-
cover. The supply of the South and
West is cut off almost entirely by IL,
and the plates from which all the real
and dangerous counterfeit money in
the country was printed will now be
destroyed.

is allowed some thirty days or so 10 conside

months in which to consider bills, and tn
Governor ought not to be required TO sig'

expiring session of the Legislature. InrouS
doubt he may be induced to consign bills t.
failure that should be signed; while, on II
other hand, he may without proper con
sideration sign bills that should not be a!

with this view should have been added t

The Centennials.

We have accounts of the centennials at
both Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts.
On the same day-Ap:il 10, 1775-there
were combats in those towns between the
British troops and the raw recruits of the
"rebels," and the first blood of the Reyolu.
ton was then shed. We publish the facts
about the celebrations. A liberal speech was
made by General BARTLETT, of this city, which
the reader will find noticed. Large multi
tudes attended both celebrations.
The next centennial, and the last for this
year, will be that of the Meckenburg North
Carolina) Declaration Of Independence,
adopted on the Goth of May, 1775. The
celebration will take place at Charlotte, N.
c., the principal town in Mecklenburg coun.
ty. 1t is beautiful and prosperous place,
and we are sure the affair will be conducted
with great Sclat. 1t is an interesting fact,
and matter OF honor and pride to the Old
North State, that she led in the spirit of in.
dependence and proclaimed more than year
in advance Of the American Congress not
only her own independence of the British
Government, but the true principles Of lib.
erty and political justice.
Certainly these centcnnials ought to be
made the most Of They will not return
again until hundred years have rolled by,
and the country stands greatly In need of a
revival of the spirit of independence and en-
lshtened liberty which guided our heroic
ancestors who founded the Republic.

The Dead-Head system.

That very sensible and practical neWspa'
per the New York Journal Of Commerce
takes the following logical view OF free
passes to Legislators and high officials in their
travels over railroads: ..
FREE PAssEs.-Mr. Henry L. Goodwin, OF
East Hartford, Conn.,, deserves something
better than the insolent slur cast upon
him by the President Of the New YORK.
New Haven and Hartford railroad for haVlr 6
sued out an injunction to restrain that roau
from giving free passes to members OF Legl
1atures and Of Congress, and all pubic ofh'
Gals from the President of the United States
downward. "His real object" says Pres
dent Bishop, ais probably to make himself
distinguished" His real object, we should
more charitably say, is to cut OF useless
waste Of money. and thus to enhance the
profits of the road in which he is a stock
holder. and to terminate public nuisance so
far as that line is concerned.
The whole travelling public, still more
than the stockholders, have q direct interest
in the discontinuance of "dead-headism on
railroads. Nothing is given in this world
without. a value received or expected; and
when the New Haven line distributes free
passes to the Connecticut Legislature, it only
DAYS in advance for beueti's it hopes to re-
ceive. BY such means railroads stave OIL
investigations, or procure favorable iegisl2-
ton. The public, going 10 the Legislature
and petitonipg for laws to restrain or regu.
late railrolds, find that body already bought
over to the other side. 1t is not consistent
with human nature that man should feel
unfriendly to road whose yearly free pass
for him >elf and family he carries in
his pocket-book. TO the average egis.
lator, unambitious of "heavy strikes" and
great spoils, this bit Of paSteboard Is an iu-
mense favor, and only 10 be recompensed 2
blindly voting Tor all that the donors Eant.
Shrewd railroad managers well understand
this, and distribute the tickets plentiluRy at
the opening of sessions, and so secure the
defeat of possible hostile legislation. TIE
companies Can never be depended on to
abandon official dead.heading" voluata-
rily. They pretended to try it at the West
year or two ago, bat it was soon ascertained
that every company broke its own rules, ard
the agreement was openly abandoned; and
;the old plan of controlling Legislatures with
free tickets lis noW.in vogue everywhere eG-
cept Oh this ,one ConHectcut road, where a
judicial INJUNCTION has stopped it temporari.
ly. Mr.. Goodwin merits the public thanks
for invoking the intervention of the only
power equal 10 the suppression of the evil.
