OF Mount Sterling, Ky, Yesterday afternoon
with reference 10 tue BristOW mule contract.
lie testified that he WAS one Of the origiua,
contractors with GrOOme tOdeliver 300 mules
II the government at ~l0j and SIS per head.
TIE nIm had bought about 500 mules, pay
ing from 10 10 -lrj Per head, when the war
closed. Thompson became alarmed aud
paid GTCOme -, so 10 lei him out of the con-
tract. Thompson swears that GroOme sold
his mules per head from Sli5 TO $50. He
then put a claim against the government for
sl25 per mule, allowing the government
credit for only SSl per head in his claim for
damages, and allowing the government
rothine for the money he got from Thompson.

THE RECEPTION by the Artists Club al

Ia be generally conceded that as a whole
hey ranked higher than those exhibited al

Indeed IL was a su' j-ct OF gratifying COM
ent that Climb 80 small in numbers as this
should be able to- present so hDe display,

by the very best elements OF our population
- hardly less gratifying. Tue attendance
showed how strong a mold art has upon the
pubic mind, while the improvement in the
quality OF the work eXhi 0ted demonstrates
that Cur artists are ready 10 respond 10 this
rapidly growing sentiment; and both points
prove the usefulness of the organization and
tbe advantages of its receptions. The CLUB
room, 1t will be remembered, is open to the
puDIic at all hours during the day and those
interested in art matters are Invited TO call
at any time and inspect the paintings and
drawings constantly ON view. There are
few places in the city, we may add, where a
halfhour can be more pleasantly aud profit
ably spent.

ARREST OF COUNTERFEITERs.
81. Louis o'od<. .Otmocras. June y.
Ever since the capture Of the Pete McCartney
gang, IL, this city, In February Of 1875, when
Watts, the stool'plgcon, came rery near receLv-
iug his qu!etus from the " koniaekers," In
house on Summit avenue mud Market street, for
his treacherous performance In the discovery of
their whereabouts, Elmer Washbusn, Chief OF
tho United States Secret ser,'cc Force, has bcrn
working up some splendid cases, unu efrccting
. the capture aud conviction of numerous despcr-
ate gangs Of concy men. Since TINT time l1c has
brought In Bume Of the most extensive men in
the business, many III whom arc now doing
time III various State Penitentiarics.
On Tucsdny morning Wslburn reopened
the tall by nrrcst!ng Dr. Laur, Of East st. Louis,
before sunrise. Five or ssx United states de-
tectiyes ca,nc down from Springfield, and early
yesterday morning surrounded Laur's premises,
On the island, at Last st. Louis, while oue of
tlcn knocked for admission. In \ moment
Laur appeared at the duUr, and WINS surprised to
lnd, confronting him United States "con..'
Seeing that resistance was useless he gracefully
aeqliesced, aud, Us soon Us he could don hts
clothes, accompanied the officers WHO proceeded
tn the depot and left for Springfield US koun Us
the train came along. In the meantime, how
ever, Laur carefully prepared note and r.
qucsted the officers to send It to thu mail. Lie
sud that It was letter to his fatheE-ln-law ut
Mount Vernon, Ill. One Ut the detectives took
the letter, but Instead Of pacfng 1t In the mail
concluded to deliver It In person, Us lie Thought
it might be note of war1,lug ~ some Of laur's
confcdcrntes. Two Of the officers, therefore,
boarded train on the Southeastern Iiailrual,
and went down TO Mount Vernon. Whether
their conclusions were right or not not known,
but shortly after their arrival there they cap
turcd six pcrsons, together with lnrge amount
tring fHe salne. hc EN- nacs q the @ PARTIES % A.
rested at Mount Vernon are Lewis Boswell,
Eljah Marteney, G. H. Williams, Thouus Kud-
sill, John Fa!rchilds, and john Mcekln. Isaac
Boswell and Thomas Cunneliy were azrcstcd
yesterday ut Ashley, III. All Of these parties,
Us we'll US LauE, are believed to constitute the
gang which have BEEN showing counterfeit
money through that section Of Illinois Of latc;
aud, although tho detectives have been exceed
ingly mum Since the arrests werr Made, 1t Is
possible that there s sufficient cvIlence to con-
Yict the whole of the baud, W. Washbnrn very

| otllrers captured lir for thu manufacture ot
new silver half.dollars, bes!drs plates fur frac-
tional 5O-ccnt pieces, with which the town llas
bcen flooded lately. All of the men were taken
to Springfield Immediately after their arrest.
