Hayes being opposed to having spirits
upon her table, but she yielded upon

An Ex MEMBER OF TIE LEGISLATURES
IN JAlL.-Thomas w. Mannion, who
will be remembered as a member OF the
House of Delegates from Wetzel coun-
ty, at the session of the winter of 1868,
was arrested day before yesterday, for
dealing in counterfeit money. The ar
rest was made by G. B. Perkins, gov
eminent officer in the secret service, in
Green county, and the prisoner was Ia
ken to Pittsburgh and lodged in Jail.
While in this city, Mannion established
for himself the character of an untrust-
worthy man. He claimed to be sort
of preacher, but practiced meanness
and corrupt way, with unblushing eff
frontry. He is an unmitigated scamp,
and boasts to the officers of his trans
gressions.
For long time this gang Of counter.
feiters infested this State, having its
Gupes in all of the counties from here
back to the interior. There are other
members of the gang still at large,
whom the detectives are "layiDg for"
and whose arres, will create a profound
sensation, one oflhese days.-Whseiing

What Is Needed.

Now that the railroads nre getting
their trains in motion and will soon be
moving the accumulated freight to the
full extent of their carrying power, the
people have one demand to make, and
that is that there be no more freight
wars and no more carrying freight for
almost nothing to keepa rival line from
getting it.
Just here is one great cause of all the
trouble. BY this course, which has pre-
vailed to such an extent, every one is the
loser, and there is no advantage gained
by the road, the freighter, or the business
public These contests have disgusted
the people with many of the present
railroad managers, and convinced them
that notwithstanding the immense
salaries paid by the companies to their
officials, the right kind of business
talent is still wanted.
The interest of the commercial COM
munity is advanced by steady and uni
form freight rates, No good business
man thanks the railroads for big cutin
his favor. If he is doing n legitimate
business he knows that his own interest
is advanced by what advances the gen.
eral interest, and that q fluctuating
freight rate, like an un stable currency,
helps to unsettle business and create
confusion where there is no need of it.
Besides, when road attemps to carry
freight below profitable rate, there
must come crash somewhat, and the
public is sure to suffer.-Stdr.

Terrible Disaster to United States Troops at
- the Hands of Indians.

CHICAGO, August s.-Official infor-
nation has just been received at militia
ry headquarters confirming the rumor
received here few days since regarding
a fight between Indians and United
States troops in Texas. 1t is ascertain
ed that disastrous encounter was had
on the Staked plains, in which two of
1icers and 26 soldiers were killed.
The remnant of the party continued its
march after having suffered this loss,
and has since reached Fort Concho with
an additional loss Of five privates and
forty horses and mules. The unfor-
tunate command was without water for
eighty-six hours, and the suffering they
endured in consequence was terrible.

Where are the Dead.

A Chicago paper says: All reports,
except those from the health and Cor
oner's office, agree in placing the num-
ber killed in the late riots at eighteen or
twenty at least. But the health Office
records show that burial permits have
been issued for but five, and the records
in the Coroner's Offices show like
number of inquests. The question
arises, " What has become of the rest Of
the dead ?''
Some do not hesitate to account for
the discrepancy by believing that the
friends of the victims have buried the
deceased persons in back yards at night,
thinking in their ignorance that they
would be held responsible for the riotous
acts of those killed, and that therefore
all traces must be kept covered.

The campaign in Asia isa failure. The

the new aspect of affairs, the Car is
