there was eloudsoa the title, and, if the
owner desired 10 cell, 1t was necessary to
remove, this cloud. The holder Of the
forged deed was then willing to give
quit-claim for consideration gagged by
the value of the property and the nervous
ness of the real owner.
The mod,1s operandi Is fairly illustrated
by the Hyde Park case which led to the
detection Of Reed and the arrest Of II. K.
Turner, who was a tax-lawycr in Quincy.
This property was owned by a MIR. Hill,
who got his deed from Hoxie in New
York, whose title came from Il. p. Robin
SOD, the young man who Is supposed to
have murdered his mistress, Helen Jcwett,
| and burned the house aflerward--a case
that attained a widespread notoriety ut
! the time The deed on which suit was
| commenced against Hill was in the name
of one George A. Kibbe, of Massachusetts,
who is not known in the West Qnd who is
represented by Turner. Kibbe's title
comes from Helen OHara Harrcll who
has since been lost track of; hers from
Empson Hamilton and his from r. y.
Robinson in deed antedating by some
two years the transfer which Robinson
actually made to HoXie. After the
suit was commenced Hill became satisfied
that the deed from Robinson to Hamilton
was forgery, and set about to run it
down. He got information that man
named Tanning, then in the Penitentiary
on charge Of forgery, could furnish u
clew. Hill procured u pardon for Fan
ming on the agreement Of the latter TO ex
pose and apprehend the deed orgers, and
it was through Fanning's agency that Reed
was committed for trial without a prelimi-
! nary examination. Turner, after his ex-
animation, was held to bail in $50 900, his
father, IA rich man, becoming his surety.
1t is now rumored that Turner has fled to
parts unknown, after having failed TO in
ducc Reed to suppress his knowledge Of
the operations, but this cannot be definite
ly known until May 3, the day set for
Turner's trial
This kind of deed forging is not entirely
new, though it was probably never carried
on to the same extent as by the Illinois
gang Early in the present century there
were many forged deeds, purporting to
represent French and Spanish titles. As
the forged deeds always come from per-
sons long since deceased, and are generally
removed beyond MI living verification
other than the forgers can furnish, this
kind Of forgery is frcer from the danger Of
discovery than every other, and the pros
| pect for profit is particularly good be-
cause of the necessity for removing the
cloud thus put upon the property 1t is
to be hoped that the prosecution of this
case will be vigilant, and the punishment
OF the guilty persons severe, that the insidi-
Gus fraud may be rendered more perilous
in the future than it has been in the past.

deed, there is nothing in Gen. Gordon's

maintain, while the action of the Demo-
Gratis has afforded no reason whatever for
supposing that such a policy is regarded
by them as more than a promise to insnare

York. From the day of his Inaugural
ton down tn the present time Mr.. Tilden
has been ostensibly engaged in the busi-
ness of reform. But John Kelley stood
behind him urging relief to Tanmany,
and now, under cover of an attack upon
the canal ring, he pardons one of the most
notorious convicted thieves of that societyl
Tammany is stronger than Gov. Tilden,
stronger than all the rank and file of
tho Democratic party; and, in CO.
alition with the eighty-tive Exon
tederate officers in Congress, ii will
dictate the creed and policy of the resur-
rected Democracy. Think of political
party, compact and strong, all whose
forces are welded by coalition of
plunderers and ex-rebels! Can anything
but evil flow fromCsuch ascendency in the
government. of the nation? Surely not.
Whether the Democratic party, so differed,
shall win the battle Of 1876 is the ques-
ton to be decided by the people.
That the Republican party has made
mistakes; that it contains within its fold
some mere politicians and some positively
bad men, none will deny. But, on the
whole, its administration of the vast power
intrusted to it has been remarkably able
and honest. 1t is the party ofmoral ideas.
the party of progress and reform. These
are trite phrases-trite because they have
found vast breadth of illustration in the
history of the Republican party during
the comparatively short period of its rule.
Where does the danger lie? In continu-
ing the Republican party in power, or in
forcing it back to give place to the Demo-
cratic rebel horde?--Inter- Ocean.

a few mornings since, writes the Paris
correspondent of the London Daily TEE
graph on March 2G, a sensational robbery
was committed, Of that bold but patient
and thoughtful type which we are begin
ming To recognize ms the American style.
A. M. Dclapierre, money-changer on the
Boulevard de la Madeleine, joins to this
business trade in expensive nck-nacks.
Nearly each day, for the last six months,
an American has made small purchases in
the shop. With the ease and volubility OF
his pleasant race, this gentleman had fallen
into habit of exchanging long gossips
with NJ. Dclapierre, who looked upon him
as one of his best customers. The other
morning the American arrived as usual,
with friend NJ Delapicrrc had just
taken out bag of money and valuables,
which he placed in the window while
talking. There is, of course, money
changers grating between IL and the shop.
Presently entered n third person, who
bought "A silver teapot, which the assistant
packed up and carried to The address given.
When he had gone the American
produced a claw, such rs glass globes arc
set upon, and said carelcssly to the money
changer g | wish you would see II you
have glass to fit this claw" NJ. Della
pierre went with him and sought globe
TO match leaving the friend alone. II mp
pears that he Immediately opened the
grating, seized the little bag of valuablcs,
and called out: Haven't you found n
glass yetg' The American came back,
chose some small article to be sent home,
and then went off quietly with his compan-
ion. Not for half an hour aftcrward did
NJ Delapierrc discover his loss, which
amounted TO f12 900, half of it bank notes
and gold, and the rest Of 1t in checks and
negotiable paper. A theft so patiently CON
cocted so audaciously carried out, is
worthy of notice. Like our own bank
forgers, these men had plainly some cap
ital, beside shrewd brain and cold resolu-
ton. They could afford to wait six
months, and To buy silver teapots and
triiles Of that sort.

The Western Deed.FOrgcrs.

r. X. Turner, whose exploits in the
alleged interpolation Of liabilities IN the
West have been the occasion Of consider
able litigation and widespread alarm
among property holders, and whose recent
arrest and Indictment in Chicago upon the
charge of forging deeds and securing
their record caused much satisfaction to
the victims of his supposed criminal OPP
cratons, is reported by the Chicago lrfb-
une to have forfeited his bail-S5O, OOO-
and fled to Mexico. The Tribune thus
speaks of the de,d-forgers;
TIE evidence said to have been given by
Reed before the Grand Jury is of a char
acter which warrants the expectation OF Il
full erDose Of the operations Of the gang Of
deed -forgers, whose exploits cover several
States and long term Of years. The con
tents of Reeds trunk, now in safc-kecping
in this city, will probably supply the miss
ing links. There is now little doubt, who
ever may be finally implicated or excul-
pated. that there was regular organiza-
ton for Matchmaking property owners
in Illinois, Missouri, and some other
Western States, by means of forged
deeds, and that thousands OF dollars
have been realized in various parts OF The
country from this practice. Reed IS cred
tied with the statement that be has been
engaged in This business for twenty years,
and It's success is a pretty sertain indica-
ton that prominent persons have been as
sociated with him The practice was to
place on record deed from some former
owner of the property, aniedating the title
of any living person, and then to bring
suit for ejectment. The suit once begun,

Us During the reorganization Of the
Louisiana House of Representatives under
the Wheeler adjustment, IA resolution was
adopted, part Of which is AS follows
"And the House of Representatives, rs to
its members rs constituted under the
award of Messrs. IIoar, Wheeler, Frye,
Marshall, Potter and Phelps, shut reWain
aciNoW ch0nge, ercept by resignation or
dedM Of members, until q ne,o ge1teral cleo
HoH.' This resolution was adopted by a
large majority, receiving the votes of most
of the Democrats. On the strength of this
and other pledges contained in the rcso-
luton the members unseated under the
Wheeler award quietly, and with excellent
grace, gave their places to Democrats.
Under these circumstances, the unscatlng
of four more Republicans and the seating
of four Democrats in their places was Il
most despicable act Of bad faith 1t can
hardly be expected that the Republicans
will hereafter put any confidence in DEM
ocratic pledges. 1t will be war to the
knife, and no compromise, in the future
and the Democrats will have TO carry on
their fight without much outside sympa-
hy.--Chtcoy0 Times.
