The Movement for Tilden.

Washing gton cor. of the Baltimore Sun.
The result of the election in Ala
bama is regarded here as having a
very important bearing upon the
Presidential canvass. Since recon-
struction Alabama has voted Re-
publican as often, if not oftener,
than Democratic, and in close cal.
culations it has generally been set
down as doubtful State. The
very large majority by which it
elects the Democratic ticket con-
sequently possesses great sigfifi-
canoe, and exerts a remarkable in
fluence upon the other States of
the South which have also been
admitted to be some what doubtful.
The Republicans admit privately
to-day that Louisiana, Mississippi
| and Florida will now certainly fol-
low the example of Alabama and
give Democatic majorities in Not
vomber, unless some scheme can
be hatced to prevent.it. A Demo
cratic Senator has received a let

is national and who is not Demo

ry and the pressure of the times is
bound to elect Tilden. One Of
the smartest Republican politicians
of Pennylvania says that the mi
ners and the laboring classes in
that State are very much dissat-
isfied with their condition, which
they justly attribute to the policy
of the party in power, and for this
reason he feels compelled to put
Pennylvania in his list of doubt.

Ohio says that the Germans in

confidently believed that Ohio will

A Bold Little Scheme.

Yesterday afternoon well-dressed man
called at one of the uptown residences, in
this city, and asked If the gentleman of the
house was at home. The girl who answered
the door said she did not know; but if he
would come in she would see. The gentle
man passed into the parlor, at the same
time giving the servant girl card bearing
the name Of "Marshall Wren" This she
took to her masters room, but, finding him
out, went to her mistress, and pres ented
the card. The lady, thinking she could be
of service, and, perhaps answer for her
husband, descended the stairs and walked
into the parlor.
The gentleman bowed, and asked to see
Mr.. -, whereupon the lady told him
that her husband had gone to Philadelphia,
and would not probably return before late
in the evening, but that she would be happy
to serve him. "Mr. Wren," replied that it
was only little matter, and really owing
to his own negligence, that he was COM
PEELED to trouble her at all. "But,"
he continued, "early this morning, in trans
acting little business with your husband,
he gave me his check for $12.87, and being
stranger here, I have been unable to get
it cashei. We're not in absolute need of
the amount to pay my fare in the cars home,
it would make no difference at all; but If
you can give me money in exchange for it,
1t will answer every purpose" The lady
took the check, and noticing that it was
drawn on one of our city banks very natur-
ally supposed everything was perfectly
right, and began to look for the money.
Fortunately as 1t turned out, she did not
have near the amount, but offered the gen
tlemar the last contents of her purse, 50 81.
He thanked her and said he could not think
of taking all her small change, but accepted
the three dollars, and assuring her that she
could keep the check for security as it would
be all right when her husband came home,
he, with many apologies for troubling her,
and thanks for the favor, took his leave.
In the evening, when Mr.. -- came
home, he was shown the check, and the in
cident of the day recited. Much to the sur
prise of the estimable lady, she was in
formed that her husband had never seen the
said ''Mr. Wren," and that the check was
forgery The lady was "sold."
The man who played this little game, is
described as being quite prepossessing in
appearance about five feet six inches In height
rather broad across the shoulders, and full
breasted. His head is covered with suit
of dark hair, which was brushed back from
clear, white forehead. His eyes are of q
dark grey or blue, and peculiarly bright.
His face was entirely smooth, save small
goatee. He was well dressed, in suit oi
dark material, and had the appearance Of

effect of Kidding the premises of the intrud-
