has no character of its own to blast but
it is eternally trying to reduce some one
to its own level. 1t is rotten mackerel
but fails to shine. 1t wrecked several
papers and then sought the aid of legis-
lative enactments to keep it afioat and
by promising the mayoralty to a lawyer,
nameless individual, secured the sale of
sufficient stock to keep itself above wa
ter for while; but its president had i'm
posed himself upon Its stockholders at a
salary sufficient to dip out every penny
the concern ever did or will make. Its
known venality and untruthfulness Its
attacks upon many of our citizens (even
the exalted character of our judiciary
was not free from this); and its fondness
] for SANDER, have shorn it of much of its
circulation and dwarfed it of its influ~
ence. 1t has deceived its generous stock
holders, while the high salary of its pres
ident has eaten up its earnings; it has
never paid dividend its capital is sunk
and its material is being parceled out to
escaping partners. 1t is penniless and
going at rapid gait on the nigh road to
where the 'swoodbine twineth." 1t has
shielded the greatest defaulters of the
town, and covered with its silence those
who would poison our fountains OF
health, and as it delighted in showing no
mercy to others can hardly hope tor mer-
cy in return. Its president believes in
Bob Ingersoll, and with that faithless
and infidel parrot, prates of doctrine
not pleasant to our people, since he has
been known to assert IN public places
that our Savior-the last hope of the
Christian" was a bastard" IL.

ANOTHER RESPECTABLE EMBEZ-
ZLER,

DETROIT, MICH, Nov. 26.-This COM
munity was astonished yesterday at the
announcement in morning paper that,
at late hour Saturday night, Emery j..
Garfield, for six years previous to 1877
the Comptroller of this city, had been
arrested for embezzlement, and locked
up in cell. Mr.. Garfield is a gentle
man about 45 years of age, popular, high
ly respected, and long reputed to be the
possessor of unusual business capacity
and integrity. He was, during the war,
an officer OF the Internal Revenue, and
figured promptly i'll several important
seizures and prosecutions. In 1871 the
Republicans elected him Comptroller, and
he was reelected in 1873 and his official
record was generally regarded as an ad-
mirable one. He was also conspicu-
GUS member of the knights Templar, the
author of one OF its accepted systems of
drill, and an officer of its national organ>
iZation, At the Cleveland parade last
summer he acted as Chief of Staff. Dur
ing the last few months an expert &C
countant has been making general ex-
animation of the city's books and funds,
under the supervision of committee of
Aldermen. Two weeks ago the fact be-
came public that theft of about So, 900
of Sewer Fund bonds had been commit
ted during Mr.. Garfield's term, and that
he had protected the thief from exposure
on the latter's securing the city from loss.
Mr.. Garfield refused to give any particu-
lars of the appropriation of the bonds
ne said he should not make known the
name of the responsible party, aud paid
over about $500 which appeared to be
still due the city in the way of interest.
On Saturday the accountant found that
coupons of the Sewer Fund bonds, which
had matured while the bonds were in
Garfeld's hands, as Comptroller, await
ing negotiations, had been paid to the
amount of about $1,000.

A SWINDLING CLERGYMAN.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-Elizabeth Ack
erman, who is "a years of age, has sued
the Rev Alfred Bewett, on charge
of defrauding her of $500, and Mr.. Blew
ett has been arrested and held to bail in
$1,000. The case came before Judge Nc
Adam in the Marine Court on Saturday
on motion to vacate this order. Blew
EFT is charged with having gained the old
lady's confidence by working on her re-
ligious sympathies. She made him the
manager of her estate. She got him to
sell house for her and for $500 of the
purchase money he has not accounted, ,ex-
cent that he says in consideration of his
advancing $500 to pay the expenses of

A BUILDING SOCIETY GONE UP.

THE DIRECTORS BORROW MONEY WITH
OUT THE AUTHORITY OF THE STOCK
HOLDERS.
MONTREAL, Nov. 26.-Another build
ing society has come to grief. This time
it is ola Societe de Construction du Can
ada" This organization has been in ex-
istence four years, has $50 stockholders,
with a subscribed capital of 500, 600. of
which $45, 900 is paid up. For upward of
a year past the shareholders have been
much dissatisfied with the management,
and some time ago demanded an lnvesti-
CATION. Tbe result was that the society's
affairs were found to be In very unsatis-
factory condition, and it was determined
to wind up. In the course of the liquida-
ton serious complications arose. The
directors borrowed from the Vile Marie
Bank, without consulting the stockhold-
ers, $4,000, for which the notes of the
society, signed by the directors and in
dorsed by one or two of their number,
were given.

ALLEGED ILLEGALITY IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

1t is charged on the authority of R. M
Simms, Secretary of the State of South
Carolina, that the Board of state Can
vassers counted the votes of the counties
of Edgefield and Laurens for Presidential
electors, thus giving the State to Hayes,
but did not count the vote for members
of the General Assembly, and if there
was valid vote for Presidential electors
in those counties there must have been
one for members of the Assembly, which
the action of the Board would imply was
not the case. Ifthere was not Hayes is
not entitled to the vote of the State, and
his election is illegal, and could be con-
tested.

called upon the president and told him,

come from our side OF the Senate"
"0h well" said Hayes, let's not dis.
cnss that. How do you like The admin.
istration as far as we have got along?"
at is quite satisfactory az whole,

No one who has not heard the presi.

any idea Of the impression OF sincerity
and determination which his manner pro.
duces. He talks calmly, quietly and
without the slightest evidence OF feeling
or passion, even with the gentleness Of a
woman; and yet, when he has finished his
sentence, the smile that his face almost al.
ways wears while he speaks passes away,
and peculiar expression Of gravity,
sometimes amounting TO sadness takes il
place. Then it Is that tbs listener makes
up his mind that Mr.. Hayes Is not iooling.
