Winslow, the Forger, Arrested.

Boston was greatly excited on Tues
day 10y Il private cable despatch that
Ezra ID. Winslow. the notorious. had
been arrested in London. Few would
believe the report. at first. most hcllcv-
ing that Winslow was too smart To he
found in il country where the eXtradl-
tion treaty was in force. But the rnmor
was confirmed by the way of Washing
ton and the Secretary of State. and
there was much rejoicing.
1t seems that Winslow went direct to
Rotterdam that he did not get off at
GrlycScnd but was ''spotted at once
10y the officers of the law, and i'll Il few
days when he went up to London to
get some paper negotiated, he was ar
rested 10y the London police, and now
awaits cXtradition papers. which are
before this made out, and 10y Saturday
an officer will sail from this country to
bring him back to the scenes of his re
malllable exploits.
| his Is one report. AHo'hti IL 'h't'
he. never went to Rotterdam, but got off
at Grlvesend. leaving his family to go
along with the spoils. 1t is now be
licved that he has not IL great amount
of funds with him. Although he forged
over half million. it is not thought he
realized very much ready cash.
The capture of this man only proves
that the Sharpest knaveS frequently
make blunders which throw them into
Tweed?

are not mindful of what that danger in
wolves let them carefully read and reflect
upon the following. We quote from the
editorial page Of the San Francisco Bull
letin OF Monday:
Justice Clifford Of Maine was placed
upon the Bench of tho Supreme Court,
il We remember rightly, by President
Pierce, not because tho fsrmer was Il
strong man. but because lie had been
serviceahle to the party. lie belonged
to that class known as Bourbon Demo

daring the war.
If this decision could be intained.
then hardly less than s., 900. 900, 800 Of
other Confederate claims resting upon
substantially the same ground could be
made good IN the Federal Courts. This |
IS exactly what the Southern Democrats
want 10 bring about. There Is a clause
in the Constitution which furb;;is the
payment Of any part OF the Confederate
debt. But there is no constitutional
provision and Ho other prohibition in
the way of paying every Confederate

From the Elections.

The telegraph Offices were hauntet
last night by anxious repre- senta,ives o
both parties. Visiting for returns from
Indiana and Ohio. About O'Clock
dispatch was received at the A. and P
Office to the effect that Indiana had gone
Democratic and that there were light
Republican gains in Ohio. About 9:4C
O'Clock we called in at the W. Z. and
/ learned there of some specified returns
from few townships AMI wards in In
| diana. These showed a decided Repub-
of a small aggregate. Ia Ohio Hepub-
lican gain of over 1000 and q Demo
cratic gain of about 2, 500 was reported
making the Republican gain about
| 1.500. This on the count is compar-
| atively few towns aud townships. So
| far. the Indications are OF very close

can victory in Ohio.

the following:

About two O'Clock yesterday morning
Col. w. r. Loan was assaulted In Joe
Starling's saloon, IS st. Charles street,
by Captain Thos. Flanagan.
1t appears that Captain Flanagan was
in company with Captain Schrieber, and
was drinking at the bar when Col. Loan
and Captain Gray came In. Flanagan
walked up to the Chief, and useing an
opprobrious epithet, struck him In the
face with his fist, and then drew his
pistol and covered him Col. Loan, being
i.s quick as he was, drew his revolver,
when Flanagan threw up his hands.
Col. Loan then put his revolver on the
counter, remarking at the same time
that he could whip him Flanigan) with
out using pistol, simultaneously strik-
ing him several times over the head with
his cane. Capt. Gray then attempted
to separate them, when Capt. Schrieber
drew his revolver and fred two shots
without effect.
The difficulty was finally settled by
Capt. Schneider, Capt Flanagan being
arrested and locked up In the Central
Station. Both parties will be brought
before the Police Board for further
examination.

statement Of Captain r. r. CoIburn.

The various accounts of the fire on
board the British ship Majestic seem 10
have created much recrimination and
bad feeling. Wishing to take no part in
the controversy we have merely mar
rated facts rs transmitted to us. Hav-
ing under this rule published the card
OF the captain OF the Majestic, we deem
it but proper to publish the answer OF
the captain of the Protector:
To the Editor of the Picayune:
A statement having appeared in your
Monday evening edition, signed by Capt.
Gibbons, master of ship Majestic. that
"at the request Of the captain OF the
Protector, permitted his boat to go to
work, under the representation that he
had q process for extinguishing the fire
which would not do any injury to the
cargo" I feel in duty bound to fatty
deny that any such representation was
made by me or any OF my officers. l
will simply add that the Protector came
to the assistance OF, and saved the ship
Majestic, at the special request Of Capt.
Gibbons, who hailed tho Protector as
she was going up the river In answer to
the first alarm.
THEODORE +. CoLBURN,
Captain Fireboat Protector.
