The Oakley Hall Mystery.

New York, March 26.--The suicide
and murder fictions associated with the
absent. Hall are abandoned even by
their factors. Miss Ida Lyas says the
story is untrue that she was with Hall
on the day of his departure. There ap-
pears to be more mystifying than mys-
terry in the way of Halls departure.
The Evening Post publishes an inter-
view with Wheeler H. Peckham, one Of
the counsel for the people in the ring
prosecutions, who declares, as far as he
knew, not a dollar of ring plumber had
been traced to Hall, He had received
no instructions to prosecute him again,
and had no intention of doing so. 1t
was possible that Tweed, Woodward
and Sweeney were crammed with evil
dence against Hall, but if this was the
case not a word of it had reached him
(Peckham), and he thought he would
be likely to know of it if any one did.

NIGHT REPORT.
WASHINGTON



Washington, March 26.-The Presi-
dent stated tonight that there was no
information regarding the Louisiana
commission that could properly be
made public at present. There is much
conversation here about written pledges
said to have been given by President
Hayes closest friends and advisers,
during the progress Of the electoral
count, to certain Democrats. The fol-
lowing are the facts: When flibuster-
ing in the House was at its height, sev-
eral Democratic senators, among whom
was Senator Gordon, were called into
counsel by some of the southern Repub-
leans, who felt it to be their duty to
vote against all dilatory motto rs, and
to stand by the electoral bill in good
faith. Senator Gordon stated that he
had no responsibility as to the count,
inasmuch as he vas not a member of
the House, but he did feel the RESPONSE
bility of protecting, as far as he could,
the government of Hampton and the
people of South Carolina, as he had
been specially asked to do SO. He would
therefore go to Foster, of Ohio, and
others, and know in advance of the
completion Of the count what was to be
the fate of South Carolina and Louisi-
ana. Gen. Gordon did go with John
Young Brown, Of Kentucky, and de-
manded a written pledge, in his ca
pacity as a friend Of the Hampton and
Nichols governments, that they should
not be disturbed whatever might be the
result of the count. 1t is alleged, and
denied, that some such pledges in writ
ing were given by Stanley Matthews
and Representative Foster. .l
Concerning the assurance about the
southern policy, several prominent
southern men who had been referred to
parties to the various alleged agree
ments on this subject, say they are as
well satisfied now as at any previous
time that in the end no southern state
government will be sustained by fed
eral troops. They consider that moth
ing has been done by the President since
he endorsed the sentiments of Repre-
sentative Fosters speech, or since he
made them more emphatically his own
in his inaugural address, which violates,
or indicates any intended violation, of
the policy thus announced, and there
fore, even if the assurances given by.
Matthews and Foster had been made
by the President himself, which was
not the case, there is no ground for as
serting that they will not be fulfilled. B

Concerning the Commission.

Washington, March 26.-The truth
about the matter is that the commits
sion will go to Louisiana for the pur-
pose of effecting some kind of a COM
promise which may be acceptable to
the rival governments and to both
political parties. What trade or bargain
this compromise will involve cannot at
this time be stated. That the COM
mission a result in any good is very
much doubted. The names of the
commissioners is still kept secret. 1t
is certain, however, that John M.
Harlan Is one. -

DR.. J. H. sIDDALLs CAsE.-We leftoff in the Sid.
dali case last week by stating that the defendant
was to be brought before Esquire Piero on Friday
morning for hearing, but before that time ar.
rived, on Thursday, special Grand Jury was
impaneled to investigate and true presentment
make in the case of DR.. j. H. Siddall against
whom an affidavit Of murder in the first degree
had been filed. The Grand Jury found an indict-
ment for manslaughter against the Doctor, and on
Saturday morning Judge Laubie fixed the bail at
the sum of $500, which was soon secured, and tho
defendant released from imprisonment. He has
resumed his duties in his dental office in Harters
block. On calling yesterday at the Doctors Of.
fee, we found him somewhat paler than we were
wont to find him in days gone by, but with the
same ease of address and gentlemanly deport-
ment. We are confident no one regrets the late
melancholy affair more than Mr.. Siddall, and it
shows again the importance of preserving an un.
rufIled temper under all circumstances. Doctor
siddall we have known for years, and can say
with truth that we have ever found him the ami.
able gentleman and never before knew of him
having personal difficulty.

GRAHAM & GOTsHALL.

STATE TREAsURER.-We notice by numerous
exchanges received from as many different coun-
ties of Ohio, that our worthy County Treasurer
George Fessler, is being very favorably received
as a candidate for the nomination for the office
ofTreasurer of State. We are glad to see this for
there is, in the first place, no county in Ohio that
has greater claim to a commonwealth recogni-
ton than Stark; county which stands at the
fifth place in the State in regard to population and
taxable valuation; the county, too, has come to
be recognized as one of the certain Democratic
counties of the State, and furthermore the Democ.
racy of Stark county has never been represented
in State office, and now that the time has come
when she has all these claims in her favor, and
puts into the field man of such standard as
George Fessler, the party should be prompt to
recognize the circumstance throughout the State
as the county has helped through many hard
fought campaigns. Mr.. Fessler has served two
terms as our County Treasurer with credit and
distinction the first time elected by an almost
unprecedented majority, and the second time
running far ahead Of the ticket. Such a record
should gain for him fitting recognition, and we
are glad to see the Democratic press of Ohio re-.
ceiving 1t so favorably.

MRS. HAMLIN SHOT.

VIII ever Mrs. Hamlin get q rest? It Is hardly
necessary for us to state who Mrs. Hamlin is, and
that she keeps the Oak Grove house, south of
town; we have stated that fact upon numerous
occasions Well, last Friday night, Mrs. Hamlln
was shot, John Eversole, South Ender best
known as Bounty" went to the Oak Grove
Bounty had evidently taken few guzzles and
was filled with spirit of recklessness that mani
tested itself in dangerous way; in fact, Bounty
drew revolver and began to shoot little bullets
at the lamp light, hoping to show his mafksman.
ship by putting out the glim, after the manner of
the once celebrated Peter Funk. While the bonn.
bardment of the lamp was going on, Mrs Hamlin,
who was In back room, ran out and across the
street to Frank Beaslers saloon where she let her
excited breath abate its paintings for few Sec
onds-that is, she cooled Off and with GOODNESS
came courage. She marched back to the Oak in
good order with colors flying, and attacking the
fort leaped the moat, and once within the walls,
she ordered the enemy to retreat in haste and
confusion, which he the enemy aforesaid pro-
ceeded to do; but just as he reached the door, he
made some sort of a stumble or feint, and the an.
tagonistic amazon mistook 1t for renewed attack
and blizzerded away at him with her little pop the
bullet, however, failing to connect The retreat.
gparty also mistook this for fresh attack, and
pausing in his fight, he once more faced the
southern troops, and by coup de main and cool
head he managed to sink one of his little bullets
into the left arm of the attacking party below the
elbow The bullet entered after the manner of a
hyperdermic injection, and ran along toward the
elbow from near the wrist making slight wound.
This closed the battle Bounty has jumped the
vicinity, and Mrs. Hamlin jumped Bounty with a
process of law which wants to see him on charge
of assault and battery.
