Getting Arrested For Nothing.

kecently the police (Of Paris arrested a
man in the street who had q magnificent
Louis Nv. clock under his coat. and as he
was stability dressed and Wore bob-nailed
brogans, there was a suspicion that he had
not come honestly by an article of such
value His tale about taking il to watch
maker for repairs did not 90 down; the police
had heard all that before. When before the
Judge, the man had no difficulty in proving
that he was a millionaire and the owner of
q large city property. His only fault was
that he wore shabby clothes. This brings up
story of that sens BILE lunatic. as they used
10 call the Due de GrammOnt-C aderOuSSe. a
few years ago. One evening party Of young
men Were dining at the Mansion dor, when
the duke gave expression To number of
democratic theories, and his comrades ac-
cused him of TOO great fOndncsS for his PEG
pie. After having replied according to his
conscience, the duke said Very well
gentlemen, ] will bet you that, without hav-
ing any reason whatever therefor, the police
VIII arrest me within an hour" without
your doing anything without doing

MY louis As there was no time 10 lose,
CaderOuSSe jumped into a cab. rode away
ara came back in most sordid costume.
Inc old, greasy cap upon his head, the panta-
looms IN rags the old shoes broken at the toes
and the greasy coat gave him the air of a
miserable. He BACKED his face and grimed
his hands, then begged his comrades to
follow to witness the arrest. They followed
him 10 cafe on the Boulevard POigSonicre
where the duke seated himself at a table with
q SldclOng, Sneaking motion, and after n
moment called the waiter "GarcOn. a bottle
of champagne" The waiter heSitated, looked
NJ his clothes, and then said: But, mon bon
homme, that cost twelve francs" "WelI
suppose IT does" grUmbled CaderOuSSe, do you
think haven't the means Ofpaying?" And he
drew from one of his dirty pockets package
OF bank bills and laid 10000 francs down.
The waiter ran for mis- patron, and was sent
at once for the sergcntS de VILE. who took the
duke into custody upon suspicion of having
stolen money upon his person. The other
young men followed and heard n curious di-
alosue between the false vOyOn and the Of
hcer, the latter saying that he was not to be
taken in by such tales, and that he must ex-
plain how he came by the money before NJ

One would naturally suppose that il q
man was safe from violence anywhere,
it would be in the house of prayer, and
when surrounded with innocent women
and children; but such things fail to
have their influence in Tahlequah. In
Saline district, Charley Konsine and
Dick Riley enter into lit
tie pistol argument over a bot
tie of whisky and hurry off to the
happy hunting grounds. A white man
is found dead on Spring Creek and
another is shot on the road near the
same place, all within the space of few
days. On Grand river, William Cocran
fells woman because she would not let
him murder man who was asleepin the
house. A csttle-bUyer is found dead sud
robbed on Barren Fork. The sheriff of
SequOysh district is called to the door
and ssluted with 8 load of buck
shot And sol is all over the country.
How long shau this state Of things be
allowed to go OIL? We have not the
room in this number of Our paper to
examine the evident causes OF this mis-
rule, but shall refer to them again at an
early day. Asewe go to press we learn
OF another brutal murder in the CherO-
kee Nation, this time in Canadian dis
trict. On last Friday morning, about
eight O'Clock, the house Of Mr.. Jesse
Foreman, who lives two miles from
Webber's falls, was surrounded by q
dozen or more scodndrels from Illinois
district, and before he was aware OF
their presence he found himself at their
mercy. Foreman was shot down in his
own house, in the presence of his fam.
lily. Our informant, who LEFT the scene
in less than an hour after the murder
was committed, reports the most intense
excitement prevailing in the neighbor-
hood, in which the murdered man was
great favOrite. 1t is regarded as an
other evidence that the Ross faction are
determined, if possible, that opposition
to their schemes of plumber shall be
accounted for with the life of any one
who may oppose them.

HEAVY FniInre.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 22.-The firm Of
Z. Nutling d Co., stave manufacturers,
failed here to-day. The firm operate
extensively in slaves and barrel head
ings, both in this city and at Saline,
near Terre Haute, ard at the latter
point also had store for the benefit of
their operatives. The dullness of the
times, and the occasional taking Of bad
pspsr, gradually crippled the fl M, the
business OF which extended into hun
Greds Of thousands of dollars, and finally
this crippling has eliminated in meet
ing Of the creditors and the appointment
OF VIM. P. Gallup, of the Meridian ma
tional bank; Henry H. Woolly, OF the
Greenburg First national bank, and w.
M. Bell, OF the Huntington First ma
tiOnal bank, as trustees To wind up the
accounts and save what can be saved.
These gentlemen, with John M. Butler
as attorney for the creditors, are now at
work, and at noon to-day estimated the
liabilities at $l95, 622 81, and the assets
at S155, $50 IL, leaving an apparent de-
felt Of $4,000 20. The debts are princi-
pally among the banks. RumOr gives
the following as holding their paper for
the amounts named: First national
bank, GreensbuTg, $4,000; Central
bank, this city, $3.50; Indiana banking
company, a small amount; Meridian
street national bank, this city, 500, 900,

debtedness, including the Greenburg
bank, is secured, Nutling & Co. being
simply indOrsers-and the First national
bank of Huntington, So, 600, of which
it is expected $1,000 will prove good
commercial paper. The firm gave en-
ployment to great number of en-
ployes, and the failure of 80 enterprising
a firm can be regarded in no other light
than that Of public calamity.

TEE treasurer Of the State, DR.. Nor
row, says that il the legislature had not
suspended the collection Of taxes, the
July interest might have been paid.
When the legislature suspended the COL
lection o! taxes they should have made
some arrangement in regard to the July
Interest so as TO protect the credit Of the
STATE. This they failed to do. The
speeches made and the votes taken in
the Legislature, especially in the house
Of representatives, showed a spirit of re-
pudisiion, and destroyed the credit Of
the State to a considerable extent. Who
would be iwilling to lend money to
State when one house Of the general as
sembly. at least showed itself favorable
10 reputation, and where prominent
men and some public journals were
openly advocating this doctrine. The
destruction Of State credit, with all its
evil consequences, is the natural and leg
Itimate result Oftheir course. Il is what
they seemed TO desire and work for.
The psople Of the State will condemn
the authors OF the ruin Of their State
credit to tie sCclusion Of private life in
the iu.ure. The people trusted them
once; they will trust them no more.
Well does the Gallatin Examiner say, il
would have been fortunate for the State
n that legislature had never assembled.

THE COTTON CONGRESS-.
Second Days Prsceedings-COnsiIt
tiOn and Bylaws Adopted-Per-
manent Officers 10 he
Elected To-Day.

GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, July 22.-The second days
session of the National cotton conven-
ton commenced this morning. The
committee on permanent organization
presented the constitution and bylaws,
each article being read and discussed
singly, and after general discussion
was unanimously adopted.
The first article provides for orRsnizs-
ton, which is to be called the Nationsl
Cotton Exchange Of America. The
second defines the objects to be to pro-
mote the efficiency and extended
usefulness Of exchanges, to secure their
united and Harmonious cooperation,
and to obtain more reliable and precise
statements with regard to the extent
and movements of crops. Provision is
then madefor regular biennial meeting,
and for president, vice-president and
seven directors, who will form an execu-
tive council, and will act as a board Of
general management. They will appoint
a secretary, treasurer anu such assist
ants as they may deem necessary, and
will have lpoWsr to levy assessments,
and disburse such sums as may be rails
ed, but will not be allowed to incur ex-
penses not provided for by assess
ments, all such assessments to be
upon constituents exchanges in prOpOr-
ton to their presentation, this repre-
sentatiOn to be according to the num-
Der OF bales handled. Exchanges hand
ling twenty. five thousand bales are en-
titled to two delegates, and one addi-
tional delegate to every one hundred
thousand bales in excess thereof. The
next article provides that the executive
council shall have power to add to the
constitution such amendments as shall
be passed by vote Of twO-thirds of the
representatives of each convention, pro-
vided that said tWo-thirds shall repre-
sent clear majority Of the constituent
exchanges.
This article caused considerable discus
sion, two other forms being presented
and rejected. The first provided that
solely majority should represent two
thirds OF exchanges, but the New Or
leans party thought this would throw
the balance of power in the hands of the
small exchanges, and strongly opposed
it. They also opposed an amendment
by which a majority should represent
tWo-thirds of the delegates.
This, was just as Objectionable IOsmall
exchanges, who saw that they would be
sWamped by the numbers of the delega-
tons from New Orleans, Savannah,
New York, etc., and the article in form
given above was presented, and being
acceptable to all parties, was adopted.
The bylaws were adopted without
much comment. A recess was then
taken, and at the afternoon session the
question of nominations was postponed
uutil tomorrow forenoon. The impOr-
tant matter of locating the national ex-
change office was referred to the COM
mittee, to report tomorrow morning.

AQUATIC SPORTS.
Swimming Watch Between COyIe and
johnson for the Championship or
the WOrId-Ehe Latter Win
neF, and COyIe Nearly

CHESTER, PENN, July 22.-At one
forty-five this evening the swimming
match for the championship of the world
between Coyle and Johnson was begun.
Excursion trains aud steamboats,, filled
with people, were arriving all the fore
noon. The betting is two to one in favor
of Johnson, the present champion, yet
there seems to be disposition to intim-
idate him. Just before the men went
over, the steamship Illinois, en- route to
Liverpool, passed, and was received with
screaming whistles, cheers, etc. Arthur
Chambers and Frank G0rmley started
the men off the Amanda Powell at Ches-
ter, at one forty o'clock. At Simpsons
wharf, one mile and a quarter, Coyle led
by two hundred yards and the same
position was maintained to Tin
icum Island, when Coyle passed
to the eastward and johnson to
the west. At Lazaretta, three
and quarter miles, Coyle still MAIN
tanned the lead at the end Of Tinicum
Island. COyle was leading half q mile
at Fort Mitfiin bar. COyle has gained
another quarter of mile. COyle, who
had from the start taken the channel,
had decided advantage, ana was gain
ing momentarily. AtFOrt Miffiin light,
6lSnG niles HOm tue starting point,
COyle was still hall mile in advance.
COyle was swimming with his body out
Of the water, while Johnson was swim
ming his English side stroke, head IN
der. After passing Red Bank light
house, Johnson made squirt and gained
quarter Of mile. OppOsise Red Bank
wharf, it became evident that COyle
had over-estimated himself; he breathed
hard, called for help, and was taken out
Of the water apparently lifeless. The
physicians Immediately attended him,
ald found him to be very low.
Meantime Johnson, who was one mile in
rear, was struggling manfully, made a
squirt, and in less than ten minutes had
passed The spot where COyle gave out,
and was declared winner. He then gave
an exhibition of his powers in the water
and swan one mile further, and the
judges declaring him winner, he was
requested to get into their boat. The
entire distance SWAN by Johnson was
ten and half miles; time, three hours
and ten minutes. johnson, after being
taken from the water, was as fresh as
when he entered, and began dancing q
jig. When he arrived at Gloucester, ten
thousand people were in waiting, and
gave him an enthusiastic reception.
This evening he received benefit at
Fox's theater. COyle this evening is
very lOw-his pulse beating twenty
eight. Doctors have grave fears for his
life,
