'D'''he arena, says the Commercial,
vas one Of the most successful 81 Cin,
ic'nnati gamblers ii his time, and
strange to say, bis success was not II
backing or dealing games, but il
playing against them. For severa,
years after he became a full.Aedped
faro player he was the terror Of all the
games he played against, almost uni.
'ormly winning largely every play he
mace. bis success continuing to the
utter Generalization Of the men he
played against, it was finally conclu.
ded ny all the dealers that he was
possessed of secret charm from the
Almighty, or in league with the devil,
and ne was barred off altogether-that
Is, none Of them would allow him to
play against their games. Now, the
fact is, that Cozard was neither pro.
tected from on high or from below.
nor was ne able to exercise any charm
OF magic over the checks he pitted his
own against. But he was gifted with
a slngnlarIy. keen eye and remarka-
bly, retentive memory. By the aid of
the former he was able to detect any
popularity il, the scroll-work or flow
ering on the backs of the cards as the
dealer shuffled them, and by the latter
was capable of so arranging such Pc
culiarities in his mind as to have a
perfect knowledge of their faces on
seeing their backs. This was his
great and only per centage against
faro banks. 1t is said by gamblers
that no two cards in square deck Of
tifty-two are exactly alike, and Cozad
so watched the cards and memorized
their pecnliarities that, in two deals,
he was bound to know twelve or four.
teen of them. This knowledge, Of
course, gave him big pull against
the turn of the last three cards in the
box, and he would keep the run Of tie
known cards through the deal, and if
he caught any Of them in the last
turn, would "call the turn" sure and
win hundreds of dollars. The only
way the gamblers had 10 stand him off
on the remarkable faculties he pos
sesscd was to change cards every
deal, and when that was done Cozad
stood them of by not playing at all.
He has not been identified with the
gambling fraternity for some years
now, having taken to real estate spec.
uIations as better investment than
either faro or poker. The money he
won against faro nc invested with a
shrcwdness that marks him as the
same close calculator he was when
playing the bank and to-day, be-
sides owning a large amount Of valu-
able city property, he has town
named after him in the suburbs Of

A Sectional Candidate.

The New York Times calls TILDEN ga
sectional candidate" because it supposcs
that he is likely to receive the votes Of near
" ali the southern States and those of only
few Of the northern States. Perhaps the
Times is too sanguine rs to HAYEs's pros
poets. 1t would not surprise some people
il old Massachusetts were to cast her vote
for TILpEN. Nor would 1t il Wisconsin
were to do so. Indeed, some OF the Wis
consin delegates to the st. Louis Convention
declared if they could get TILDEN for the
candidate they would feel perfectly conf
dent OF carrying Wisconsin for him, there
being a very large number OF German
voters in that State. The same is said to be
the case in other States. Read the follow
ing as a specimen:
GERMAN LIBERALS FOR THE TICKET.
from the Stern DIES Westerns, Beevllle, H.
The German Liberals are as a unit fol
Tilden. Hundreds of German Republicans
here are rejoicing that an opportunity is at
last offered them to vote for reform ticket,
to cast their influence for and work for the
election Of 4 reform candidate. The Demo
cratic platform also meets with hearty APP
prevail among independent Germans. The
Germans or st. Clair county are largely, nj.
most unanimously, for Tilden, and in No
vember he will get such vote in this coun'
ty as was never before given to any presi
dental candidate, not even that given tc
Grant the first time he was elected.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR had no hesitation in
declaring on his way home from St. Louis
that even Ohio will vote for TILDEN. There
is certainly q large German vote in Ohio
but we have not yet persuaded ourselves
that Ohio is safe for our ticket. Neverthe.
less, the Times will find that TILDEN's sup
porters in the northern States are so numel.
Gus as to make it foolish to call him go
sectional candidate" He will sweep
New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Con.
necticut Oregon, California, Colorado,
Nevada, probably Wisconsin and Mas
sachusetts, and possibly even Illinois,
Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The strength
Of the TILDEN movement is immense. II
may sweep over the country and carry two
thirds OF tho States. 1t is surprising to
witness the evidences given in the northern
States that the cry OF reform reaches the
popular heart. 1t will not be many weeks
before the Times will have learned that

GRANTS FAILURE TO ATTEND THE FOURTH.
.oF-JULY CELEBRATION at THE CENTENNIAL
ExPosfT1oN.-The Philadelphia Times says
s.The absence OF President Grant from the
grand celebration Of the nation that has SO

contempt for the eyer-memorable occasion
that has drawn it's visitors from every peo.
pie OF the earth, and an utter forgetfulness
OF the dignity and prerogatives OF the presi.
Dental Office. Had it been a junket by the
seaside, or a display OF trapped jockeys
and prancing steeds, he ruler Of forty
millions OF free citizens would have
given willing ear to the invitation to
attend; but when the sublime grandeur
OF the achievements Of a century Of Chris
tian civilization are to be commemorated,
and the people OF every section and faith
come by hundreds of thousands to pay
homage to the victories Of peace and pro-
gress, the chief OF the nation is absent,
although his official home is less than five
hours distant from independence Hall. OF
oil the men ever thought OF for the chair
OF Washington, none but Grant could be
thus indifferent to one OF his most i'm
perious duties and grandest opportunities.

The Indian War.


General CROOKS engagement with the In
dams at Roseland creek afew weeks ago, at
first claimed as a victory for him, turns out
to have been really defeat. Now comes
the startling news of the massacre of Gene
raj CUSTER and several hundred OF his men.
He attacked the camp Of the hostile tribes
on the Little Horn river, and was utterly
overwhelmed and was unable to retreat.
CUSTER is remembered by many Of our
people. He lead several Of the raids around
Richmond, and was counted brave and
dashing officer. He commanded eight or
ten thousand cavalry at the battle of Cedar
Creek, and is probably more entitled to the
credit Of that victory than SHERIDAN, to
whom it was generally awarded. He was
very young when he entered the army, and
by good luck rose from heutenancy to
the rank Of brevet Encouragement of voluu-
teers and colonel in the regular army. His
t"Li!e on the Plains" published in the Ga
lazy, was a creditable literary effort, and
inspired many young men with a..desirc to
behold the noble red man in his western
home. CUsTER's accounts OF gold in the
Black Hills induced many people to flock
thither. For his evidence in the BELKSAP
case General GRANT relieved him of COM
mand, but he was afterwards returned to
his regiment, at the head of which he fell.
Though dandifed fellow, and much given
to wearing long hair and fancy clothes, no
doubt he made gallant fight. The death Of
him and his companions-in-arms will arouse
the authorities to more vigorous prosecu-
ton of the Indian war, and to determine
ton to be revengcd for this butchery.

A SILLY Observation-Disclosures MANUFAC-
TURING CAPITAL FOR THE CAMPAIGN.-The
most ridiculous and far-fetchcd attempt to
get up 4 sensation and make political capt.
tai is the alleged discovery" by Secretary
Chandler of stupendous frauds in connec-
ton with the Indian trust funds, rs. they
were under Jacob Thompson. SECRETARY
Chandler has furnished tonight for publica-
ton list of the worthless stocks and bonds,
which he claims to have just discovered,
which constitute part Of the Indian trust
fund, on which the Government is obligated
to pay interest. They foot up about S5,OO0,-
600. 1t is perhaps pity to expose this
mares nest OF the redoubtable Secretary and
spoil the chance for partisan capital OF the
Radical journals. The very list which Sec
rotary Chandler sends out tonight was
printed in the special dispatches OF the San
several months since, taken from the book
of estimates in which it has regularly ap-
peared in printed form certainly for the last
fifteen years. Every year during that time
Congress has made the appropriation to pay
the interest on these stocks and bonds, and
the whole subject has been ventilated in
both houses dozens OF times.
The truth OF the matter is that at the time
the purchases OF these southern bonds were
made they were supposed to be good and
sound securities, and with possibly some few
exceptions they would doubtless have con-
tinucd to pay the interest had it not been
for the war. Afterthe war, when the south
ern States might have had the opportunity
to recuperate, and thus been enabled to pay
the interest on these bonds, they were de-
MED the opportunity because of the legisla-
ton inflicted upon them by the Republican
party, with its attendant evils of carDet-bag
corruption and thievery 1t is, therefore, to
use slang expression, rather "tbin" for
Secretary Chandler and the Radical journal
lists who have trumpcted over the country
this great discovery Of his to endeavor to get
up stir over an old affair like this, the cir
cumstances OF which have been before the
public for fifteen years, and which are tho
roughly understood and appreciated by the
intelligent people of the country. 1t only
shows the desperate straits to which the
party in power is reduced. 1t is Just as well
to state, in this connection, that the suit in
stituted by Secretary Chandler against Mr..
Thompson was purely for political effect,
and that Mr.. Chandler knows equally with
every other intelligent man here that nothing
can come OF his Washington CORE
