A NEw SwINDLE.-When at White Cloud, .
few days ago, Mr.. A. Poulet showed rs a new
scheme for Q lottery swindle. It IL q circular
from New Orleans, stating that, fiom various
causes, there are always unclaimed and forfeited
prizes in all legal lotteries; that these prizes
had accumulated to q large amount, and a COM
mittee representing all the lotteries had decided
to dispose of the property by . supplemental
drawing, in which all holders of tickets in the
former drawings should have q chance. The
prizes consist Of cash, jewelry, etc-principally
jewelry and trinkets. Mr.. Pouiet's circular in
forms him that his ticket has drawn $3.50 worth
of jewelry, consisting eighty different patterns.
In order to defray expenses, q per centage of
per cent. is assessed upon all prizes, making
Mr.. Poulet's per centage $l4. He is requested to
notify certain firm in New York by what ex-
press he wishes the jewelry sent, the per centage
to be paid on the receipt of the goods; but he
has the privilege of first examining the goods,
and need not take them or pay the per centage if
not satisfied with them. Mr.. Poulst says he new
er bought lottery ticket in his life. OF course,
this is swindle, and the parties ascertained his
name through other sources. Several other per-
sons have received similar circulars 1t happens
that none of them have drawn cash prizes, but
it is all jewelry. The swindle consists in this:
that lot Of glittering bogus jewery is sent, cal
culated to deceive those who are not expert.
They think it is worth considerable amount of
money, and that they can afford to pay their per
centage of $40 or SIS. The package is accepted,
and the money sent off to the swindling firm;
but the dupe in . short time discovers that he
has got so cents or 81 worth Of trash for his $40
or SIS.

Hon. Adm Thayer has been interviewed, and
expresses the opinion that "the majority of Mass
schusetts Republicans fail to see how the civil
service will suffer if the holder Of rural postoce
looks after the interests Of his party in his own
town." He might have added that they also
fail to see how civil service reform or good gov
eminent are to be subserved BY excluding loyal
men from the Offices in the South, and giving
their places to rank and unreconciled rebels.
Gen. Mosby told the President yesterday that of
the thousands of rebel soldiers in Virginia who
had really repented and voted the Republican
ticket not one had been recognized, while many
violent State rights Democrats had been con-
spicuously honored. There appear to be several
loose screws about this civil service reform that
demoralixes its value In our zeal to be loyal
to the administration let Us not throw too thick
a mantle over its inconsistencies. 1t does seem
unnecessary to strike the Republican party in
both tanks, by disfranchising its ofice-holders
in the North and putting the government ma
chinery in rebel hands in the South.-Bosfon
TrareIter.

THE SOUTHERN PoIICY."-Now what does
this meant We call upon the New Orleans
PiodysHe to explain itself. In its issue of the
18th ult., in . leading editorial, it says:
known to all students of contemporary history
Il is based entirely upon the promises which Mr.
Hayes friends made to the Southern Democrats
in Congress, in order to avert the iilibustering
which threatened to interrupt the count and So
cure the defeat Of Mr.. Hayes. Those promises
were exacted in such shape that their fulfill
ment became . matter of necessity, aud not Of
choice.n
On the 14th, the next day, feeling, apparently,
that it had not spoken strongly and pointedly
enough, the Picaysse adds the following:
II tie rorsf comes to the rorsf, re hare Presidest
stored sray, wAich nay Be Prodsoed rkes oooasios
shall demand.

Y In their desperate efforts to get up list
of delegates opposed to the reelection of Mr.
Leland, the Balletins grand army corps give it
out that their ticket is to be composed of Hub
bard men. Is Hubbard still runningf We
thought he had gone to the mountains. Even
that tremendous issue will not avail them.
Better get up some living issue, of vital interest
to the people-for instance, let your ticket be
composed of men who are pledged against San
ia Anna having his leg shot off, some fifty years
ago.

Trying to Explain Ii.

The Hayes papers have been busy, the past
week, trying to explain the Republican defeat
in Ohio. They enter into elaborate arguments,
and sssign variety of causes; but all explana-
tions that leave out Hayes policy rs the main
and only cause, omit the true reason. 1t is all
very well to lay the blame upon the Working
men and the Greenbackers, but the fact that
$1,000 Republicans remained from the polls,
speaks for itself. Conventions, choking down
their own disgust at the betrayal and abandon
ment of Republican principles by the President,
may endorse his policy as wise and patriotic; /;
but there are tens of thousands of Republicans
who will not sanction the endorsement, by vot-
ing the ticket placed upon such platform.
wrotby Ohio Republican, recently writing
us relative to something We said about the false
position of the party in that State, after throw
ing up all the spiteful things he could think of,
Indignantly informed us that Hayes was not q
candidate, and that there was no use in ham
mering away against his policy. Perhaps he
thinks, by this time, that Hayes ras a candidate.
If he was not what sense was there in making
an approval of his policy the leading plank in
the platform, when it was known that there
were SO many Republican opposed to it They
knew that the party needed all the votes it could
possibly get in the State; and they knew that
q Republican victory would have been heralded
far and wide as an endorsement of the Pres-
dents policy. Did they think they could force
all Republicans to accept that PLATFORM If
they did, they were very short-sighted; and If
they did not, they deliberately gave the party
away. The Republicans of Ohio are in o worse
condition than they have ever been since the or
ganizstion of the party-and all on account of
their "favorite son"-the small bore statesman
whom they managed to foist upon the party, by
taking advantage of the rivalry beteen able men.
Violations of the laws of nature will invariably
produce o revolt, sooner or later, and this is .
notable instance. The Ohio Republicans are
the first to be whacked on the head by their
own boomerang. Verdict, good for them.

n Whenever Hayes is snubbed by regular
convention chosen by the Democratic party, a
few bummers get together, call themselves the
representatives of the party, and proceed to en-
dorse Hayes. The Republican County Conven-
tion of Leavenworth, last week, refused to en-
dorse the policy of the President; but now, we
notice, some of the members of the Central Com
mittee have got together, passed resolution of
endorsement, and telegraphed it over the Coun-
try rs q big thing

u In the great desert of political rancor, it
is pleasant occasionally to encounter an oasis of
magnanimity and courtesy, such as has been ex-
hibited by Hon. J. E. Mcdonald, the Democratic
Senator from Indiana. He recently made q
friendly visit to Senator Morton, expressed q
hope that he would soon be able to appear in the
Senate again, and offered to pair off with him on
all political questions that might arise during
his sickness. For this, Mr. Mcdonald was taken
to task by Democratic papers; but he publishes
card, saying that he has no apologies to offer,
as he did right, and was but repaying a debt
that he owed to Morton, who, at the last session,
when Mcdonald was called home by the sickness
of q child, voluntarily paired off with him.

The RESULT OF CoxPRoNIsE.-Daviess County is
one Of the wealthy, popuous Counties of North Mis-
souri,. 1t had bonded debt of 500 900, which was
incurred in subscribing stock to two Railroad Com
panies. of the legality of this debt there was not
particle Of doubt The County Court refused to levy
tax to pay the interest the debt The result has
been that in the past year Daviess County has COM
promised $50 of this debt from 25 to 40 cents
on the dollar, the creditor taking his pay in per
cent. bonds; and will have the balance comprO
missed Mt so cents the dollar, paying in per cent
bOnds-iSt. Joe Chronicle.
And something very similar to this, is what
the County Board will accomplish for Doniphan
County, if the bond holders find that the people
are determined to back the Board in their &C
ton. But the Troy Bulletin and its followers
arc working every day, nights and Sundays, to
repudiate the Board, because it does not belong
to that gang. We think the people Of the Coun-
to understand that the surest way to encourage
the bond holders to hold on for their full pound
of flesh, is to encourage this squad of malcon-
tents in bounding the men who have undertake

~ The Bslletis outfit are trying desperately
to get some man to run against Cy. Leland for
Commissioner. They have had two or three
Democrats on the stocks for that purpose, but
could not get any of them to stick. Now they
have discovered that Wayne Township is enti-
tied to the Office, and have picked out David
Wynkoop as the man. Of course, Mr.. Wynkoop
has not been consulted, and is probably himself
in favor Of Leland. Wayne Township is not
worrying about the Office, but will favor Mr..
Leland's reelection. A very large number of
Democrats are also for him, and if their wishes
were consulted, they would not desire Demo-
cratic candidate in the field. Leland has made
one of the best Commissioners Doniphan County
has ever had. He has energy, and business tact,
and back. bone. The Ballet. outfit may as well
whistle against whirlwind as to try to defeat
him. Even the bosh about Charley Burkhalter
being Democrat, will not enable them to elect
