WHIST n Millionaire Holder in New
York Prefers.

The following letter was yesterday
received from a prominent financial
man in New York by State Treasurer
Morrow:
New YORK, Oct. 90, 1S7G.-To
the treasurer of Tennessee-Sir: |
hold some of your State bonds, to-
gether with the unpaid coupons, and
feeling confident that your State will
be obliged to scale its 1ebt to relieve
its oppression, rs many of the South
ern States have already done, | will
here take the liberty Of saying that l
would rather stand the deep scaling
that the State Of South Carolina gave
her bonded debt than the sealing OF
which Alabama gave hers. South
Carolina reduced the principal Of her
debt 70 an amount that she could
safely and promptly manage at six
per cent. The State Of Alabama re-
duced the rate of interest upon her
debt and left the principal remain,
which will ever have a depressing eff,
feet on her bonds. l contend that the
scaling of principal is better for both
parties than the sealing Of the rate of
interest. A deep shave will be as IA
vorably received as a shallow one. !
am, very truly, JYo. JACOB AsTOR,
-NashciRe american Of the 9TH.

The Color-Bearer of the Hayes Club
Bigamist

Reform is necessary" not only in the
matter of Rutby B. Hayes tax assess
ments. for it is fact proven by the rec
ords that the pious old fraud Ruthy did
make false returns, but reform is neccss-
airy" to keep the color-bearer for the Hayes
club of this city out of the penitentary.
He is special pet of the Union and its
post-office editor, yet reform is necess-
ary," all the same. He has always been
a good Republican and, though we are
panied to say it. reform is necessary"
With the aid of his wife, la Belknap, he
has in the past averaged up in stealing
with the ordinary Republican ofice-holder,
and hence reform is necessary" When
charged with robbery he serenaded the
Union and that paper defended him. and IA
Republican justice discharged him, there
fore reform is necessary. He and his
wife were subsequently indicted by the grand
jury, convicted and both sent up for i've
years, hence reform is necessary. Mary
was the wife of this loyal color-bearer for
the Hayes club, but Mary couldn't vote so
reform was not necessary in her case and
up to Joliet she went for FIVE years. Tim
was good worker for the party and his
case was compromised by E. E. Parmenter,
states attorney, and Tim was let of
with few days in Jail, and was at once
appointed serenader to the post-office
editor and color bearer for the Hayes
club; again reform is necessary" if not
for the color bearer, for the states attor-
ney.
Tim has knocked around from one place
to another ever since Mary went up, until,
at last, he was fascinated by blooming
grass widow-here again reform is neces,
sary." She lived on Fourth avenue, and
Tim at last proposed marriage, was &C.
cepted, and several weeks ago, it is said
the two were made one-in Davenport

cerned. Notwithstanding the fact thai

A Methoaist Politician

The Rev. B. l. Ives, of New York, a
Methodist minister, is out for Hayes and
Wheeler. This is the same gentleman,
who, during the troubles in Louisiana, was
present at meeting Of ministers in Bos-
ton, aud in the course of a speech on the
occasion, said that the greatest rascals in
the south were the members of the Metho-
dist church; that the more he hated the
rebels of the south, the more he loved God
The south had not been plundered and
prosecuted enough for him. He wanted
its spirit crushed out. He longed for the
appearance of some colored man able to
become leader among the people, WELD

RouphS at a Ball.

During the progress of ball at the
German theatre last evening, a lot of
roughs from Rock Island, drunk and dis
orderly, made an effort to force themselves
into the ball Mr. Clark, who was tending the
door, tried to reason with, and quiet them,
but they only abused and threatened him.
Then he grabbed the fellow who seemed
to be the ring leader and turned him over
to Officers Mcguire and Miller. who started
with HIM to Jail. When they had got as
far as the entrance to the Court House
Square on Fourth street. they were set
upon by crowd who followed them up,
threatening and cursing, and demanding
the release of the prisoner, whose name is
Joe Buck Officer Mcguire held to the
prisoner, while he defended himself as
best he could, and hit out with his olsen
gagged hand, until he sprained it, so that
he is obliged to wear it in a sling to-day.
Officer Miller fought valiantly, until he
was struck in a vital part with a stone.
which injured him so severely that he is
laid up to-day. The ringleader, Buck,
was taken before Justice Kaufman to- day,
and after a hearing was fined $25 and
costs, and sent to the stone pile for 80 days

both on account of its eligible situation-it
being directly opposite the Grand Central
