Systematic Forgeries.

The press in the larger cities is TEEN
ing with accounts of forgeries, skillfully
executed, successfully issued, and pro
ceeds "gOt away with" In New York
City the largest monetary institutions
are the victims, experience and pru-
dence being helpless against the com
bined skill of these gangs of ''shysters.
Their plan, in simple, is for a skilled
penman, called ''tracer," to he en-
ployed on certain set of forged dOcu-
ments. When completed, certain of
the gang, who have previously worked
up bank account and confidence at
some bank or trust company, or, hired
an office, and carried on straight bust
ness in broking, for time sufficient TO
gain the good opinion of other bankers
and brokers, take these forged checks,
bonds, drafts and other papers, and at
preconcerted time issue the whole,
get the proceeds aud abscond.
The success they meet with is as
founding. The gang in its different
qualifications getting away with mill
ion dollars is no unusual thing. 1t
seems past comprehension how often
this robbery has been perpetrated the
past ten years. Millions of dollars have
been So taken from New York city
alone, and there seems to be ''millions
in it'' still.
1t is by no means improbable that
older and more reputable men than the
recently arrested parties in New York
and Boston, may have helped i'll the
issuing of this forged paper, and the
benefit the country will derive by
Estates evidence" seems now very con
siderable.

ment upon their premium notes. This
is owing to the unprecedented amount
of losses the Company has been obliged
to pay durying the last two years.
wINDHAM COUNTY.
The unusual scene of three hOd car
riers in a fierce fight on top of three
story brick building which they were at
work upon was witnessed at Bellows
Falls one day recently, each trying to
throw the other over. They might have
succeeded in this had not the local
police climbed to this dizzy hight and
arrested them.
They say it cost $4,000 to take the
Windham county veterans to Bennlng-
ton, saying nothing of the expenses OF
the two organized militia companies.
WINDSOR COUNTY.
John Gibson, residing in the north
west part of Cavendish, fell from the
high beams of his barn, the other day,
and was impaled on the stake of hay
rigging standing in the barn floor. The
stake entered his body in the region OF
the small of the back, wrenching the
ribs from the spinal column and fear
fully decorating his kidneys. He was
living at last advices, but it is not ex-
pected he can long survive.
AT Plymouth, on Saturday, as Ed
ward Brown, aged about 20 years, was
loading oats upon side hill, the cart
was overturned, and jumping off the
load, the back part of his head came in
contact with the wheel, crushing his
skull. He fingered about eight hours
and died.

The Hall Railway Signal.

The Hall sN stem of automatic railway
signals would have prevented the late
drawbridge accident at Ocean Point
draw. In letter of August 18th, writ
ten by the Hon. Charles Francis Adams
IT,, chairman of the board of Massachu-
sets railway commissioners, he says:
The system does unquestionably in
sure perfect safety in the case of draw
bridges. The idea of making all trains
stop before reaching each drawbridge,
because trains have at times plunged
into them, is no more crude and absurd
than it would be to make all trains stop
before rounding curves, because collis-
ions most frequently occur on curves.
In the case of drawbridges and station
signals the system is of great and estab-
lished value. 1T ought to be more wide-
Ly applied than it is. In the case of
draw bridges, it affords absolute pIotec-
ton. In the case of stations, it obvi-
ates Il wholly uncomfortable nuisance
that of constant signalling by the whis-
tie and in the case of masked and con-
cealed grade crossings, it gives perfect
and reliable notice of danger. n-Hdrt-
ford COurdnt.-
Mr. Thomas S. Hall, the inventor of
this signal, is resident of Meriden,
Conn, and brother of Dudley p. Hall,
Esq, of Lyndon. I his signal is already
in use on the Eastern, and several other
rst-class roads in New England.

Fictitious Values.

The monetary articles in the New
York city papers say that money is
easy, "if spectators in Wall street do
not borrow too much money from the
banks" Perhaps it may never enter
the heads of the money lenders, that a
benefit to the whole country would re-
suit if they would in combined, sys-
tematic manner, choke off these gam
blers, and let securities rest on a healthy
basis.
Ifany one "versed in the art" can ex-
plain why gold has value one day and
a different one the next, on any reason
able hypothesis, they have the advan-
tage of most folks. If Wall street and
its feverish sham fights could be dotted
out of existence, a gold dollar would
have its representative value in a one
dollar greenback, and vice versa and
business purposes, the paper money
would be the first to appreciate in value,
if the needed amount of paper currency
fell at all short.
A greenback is first bond and mort
gage on the country; the gold and
silver coin is of the value of its integral
make up, more or less worn, and to a
degree alleged. The manifest practical
use of the greenback, aud its intrinsic
value gives it preference and precedence
in fact.

OUR ECLIPsE-AN UNMANNERLY PLANET
SUMMER AMUsEMENT-BLU
PINK DOMINOS-A CLEVER SCHEME
THE IRREPRESSIBLE HEATHEN-A
NEW YORK, August "a, 1877.
To the Editor of the Californian
| am not astronomer enough to know
whether your readers were treated to
the same show or not, but we of New
York have been INDUCED in an eclipse
this week. OF course we admit that it
was in the highest degree unmannerly
for the earth to get in the moons way
in that style, and perhaps it was our
duty to get out the tom-toms and tin
pans as the Asiatic heather do under
like circumstances and scare it out of
its improper position. But as our gov
eminent policy is at present one of
strict nOn-interventiOn we took no action
in the matter further than to station
ourselves in our front doors or windows
to watch for a moon rise that didn't
come off. Precisely at the moment
when fair Cynthia should have shown
her countenance above the sands of
Long Island, our own planet had shut
off the whole supply of radiance which
she usually obtains at secondhand from
the orb of night; pOr did we begin to
get out of our own light, until the latter
got up several degrees above the hOri-
ION. Then came the curious sight of a
full moon gradually appearing out OF
the darkness of a clear sky. If the sill
yer goddess is at all inclined to bash
fulness she must have suffered at this
juncture, for the number of telescopes
and opera glasses directed at her from
the metropolis alone was enough to dis
concert Lydia Thompson herself.
This young ~ lady by the way is at
present aiding those GOthamites who
are doomed to stay at home during the
hot weather, to while away the closing
days of summer at Wallack's Theatre,
where with her blondes she is giving
the buresque of .'Bluebeard.n The
other theatres are showing more activi-
ty as the regular fall season approaches.
At the Union Square the attraction is

plays which our dramatists take and

Systematic Blackmail.

Some years ago in New York sys-
tenn of black mailing arrests and prose-
cutioEs was practiced. The active party
was one b. G. Jayne as detective" and
such firms as Phelps, Dodge & Co., be-
ing the passive but by no means salts
fed victims. In almost every instance,
if we recollect rightly, these arrests
were made after Il series of intimida-
tons, showing of hand-cuffs., and re-
volvers, and endeavors to extort hush
money. In the end the claim of de-
frauding customs, rested on technical
points that puzzled the revenue officers
to decide, in the long run leaving the
case stranded high and dry for want of
cause for procedure, and in every case
"B. G. Jayne, Esq.," was reported as
having gone to his home i'll the country.
Well, he has again, in his peculiar
way, arrested man in Chicago, taken
him to Il hotel, and closely confined
him, and day after day endeavored to
manufacture confessions from the ar
rested party. AT last he brings the
party to New York, and plays the same
game; and at last hands him over to
the authority, and, we read, "Mr B. G..
Jayne left last evening foI his home at
Ithaca, New York"
This man was i'll the Secret Service
of the United States, during the war.
The great and good" Ben Butler said
he was ''cold blOoded human blood
hound" The General ought to know
this kind of animal, but we fancy Mr..
B. G. Jayne is human money hound,
and the basis of his whole action is
greenbacks, and lots of them. The
firms he blackmailed in New York,
never recovered from his ''dOdge," and
he has the cheek to get himself notori-
GUS again.

President Hayes Policy.

The st. Adams Messenger is satisfied
that the Vermont Republicans uphold
and rejoice in the Presidents policy,
three to one" Put in those terms, the
statement struck us us rather strong
one. But looking through the article,
we find that the Messenger thinks that
the misses in our State support the
Presidents policy, us an experiment,
entitled to fair trial. That cOncurs pre-
cisely with our belief. Most OF our Re-
publicans, we think, consider that Pres
ident Hayes was pretty much shut up
to his course, in the Southern States.
He could not go on indefinitely sustain
ing, by the army, governments which
could not sustain themselves without
the army. That had got to come to an
end, sometime. The President thought
the time might as well be sooner as lat
er, and boldly took the responsibility
of ending it now. The mass of think
ing Republicans of our State, so far as
we can judge, do not quarrel with him,
as to the thing or the time. Yet they
do not look with great rejoicing on ii
process, the first step in which has been
the wiping out of the Republican party
in the South. They acquiesce in it us
an experiment, and their final approval
will depend on the final result.-Br-
LingtOR Free Press.

Senator Morton's Illness.

Senator Morton of Indiana recently
returned from the Pacific coast with
his left arm paralyzed. He has since
been very i'll, and fears are entertained
that he will not recover. Since his Sc
we're illness the public has had realiz-
ing sense of the place he fills in nation
al politics and the loss he would lie to
the country. More than any other one
man he is the representative of the re-
publican party, the most conspicuous
and powerful advocate of those doc
trines of national unity and sovereignty,
of suffrage and protection for the negro,
for whose maintenance that party ex-
lists. There are more brilliant men
among the republican leaders, but there
is none whom republicans feel that it
would he more safe to tie to in an
emergency. In the Senate he is the
central and the leading figure around
whom The reduced republican majority
rallies, and without whom it would
speedily split into factions.

rhe Rush to the Mountains.

Last week was great week among
more people were at these places of re-
sort than at any previous time for years
The weather was fine all the week, and
those who had previously been detained
by strikes or unprOpitious weather,
were all there. The Glen House, on
the east side of Mount Washington, was
so full that cots filled the parlors, and
still the proprietors were obliged to
telegraph to Gorham to have passen-
gers destined for the Glen detained
there, as it was impossible to lodge
them. Three hundred and seventy five
lodged there on Wednesday night.
During Wednesday 160 assembled
Mount Washington by the railroad, and
all the Glen House coaches were in SER

number assembled on foot. On the west

A Burglar Killed.

The Burlington Free Press says that
Charles Brown, of Bristol, was fatally
shot, Tuesday morning ut about three
o'clock, while plundering the store of
Patterson & Mathewson. Their store
and also several others have been en-
tered by false keys, within the last three
years, and money and goods taken.
Patterson & MatthewsOn have had their
store entered SO many times that they
resolved to watch for the parties. Ac-
cordingIy Mr.. Patterson and friend
of his, Mr.. BiXby, have been staying in
the store nights for about IL week past
watching. About three O'Clock, Tues
day morning, il man entered and pro-
ceeded across the floor in the direction
of the money drawer. Bixby and Pat
tersOn both rose to their feet and or
dered him to halt or they would shoot
him. This order was repeated at least
three times, but the burglar paid no at
tention to it and endeavored to escape.
As he stepped out of the door they both
fired, Bixby firing Il revolver three
times and Patterson shotgun, heav-
lily loaded with pigeon shot. None of
the shots from the revolver took effect,
but the charge from the shot gun struck
the man on the right side of the chest
aud right arm. He staggered few
rods and fell. Medical aid was called,
but he sank in about three hours, from
the shock and hemorrhage. Brown was
an elderly man and leaves large fam
lily, though most of his children have
arrived at maturity. The affair has
caused quite a sensation here, rs no
one suspected him to be the offender.
Mr.. Patterson is taking the trouble to
heart very much, although Brown him
self before he died and every one who
speaks about it, justify the shooting.
