exquisite place. a new resort for sum-
mer idling, on the beautiful shores Of
Green Lake.
Sherwood Forest is a woodland,
gently sloping to the lake shore. In
the middle Of it stands the "Lodge," a
large inviting structure, with broad
verandas, large, airy rooms and halls,
and supplied with all the appointments

with popular lawn games, are provided.
Green lake fish are noted for being
particularly delicious, and hosts Of dis

The relations between some Of the
Georgia Democratic leaders is any
thing but cordial. Gov. Brown has
charged that Gen. Gordon sold
out the Democracy during the
progress Of the electoral count. Gen.
Gordon denied the charge, and Brown
has reiterated 1t. That this issue should
have arisen must be deeply regretted.
especially by the people OF Louisiana
and South Carolina, whose interest
we know that Gen. Gordon and Mr..
Lamar, of Mississippi. consulted when
they adopted their line Of action Ia re-
alton to the electoral count. II any
body is to be censured in this matter
Gov. Tilden and his Eastern lieutenants,
with A. s. Hewitt at their head, are the
men. The Southern Democrats, among
the most conspicuous Of whom were
Gordon and Lamar, won the presi-
Dental election, but Gov. Tilden and
his Eastern chiefs were too deficient in
pluck and common manliness to main
tain what was gained. Gen. Gordon. as
well as other Southern leaders and pa
pers, very soon saw this; they under
stood also that the South was In no con-
dition to institute revolution, and they
proceeded to make with Hayes the best
terms they could for the South, and the
most important of their stipulations was
that Federal interference should cease
In the local affairs Of Louisiana and
South Carolina. The New Orleans
DEMOCRAT was the first paper in the
South to advocate this line OF action,
and we are entirely satisfied that we
were right. The people Of the South,
and particularly Of Louisiana and South
Carolina, will regard the attack Of Gov.
Brown upon Gen. Gordon on this point
as instigated by political jealousy and
ambition. There was no weakening OF
the line Of the Southern Democrats I'M
til the whole Eastern line acquiesced in
the surrender by Tilden and Hewitt.

The colored ladies are indignant over
the Southern policy Of the President.
Their feelings are too intense to be sup
pressed, and they let fly a left-hander at
Mr.. Hayes through the columns Of the
Times yesterday morning. Certainly the
country will be melted into tears at the
wailings of these dusky daughters OF
Louisiana. Now that Packard and
Dibble and Warmoth and all the
tribe of handsome carpet-baggers
are played out, the colored ladies
cannot be consoled, and threaten to
throw themselves pell-mell into the
bosom Of Queen Victoria. Their condi-
ton is pitiable In the extreme. They
want to leave Louisiana; to go some
where, we presume, where the carpet
baggers are still in power and have State,
city and parish treasures to pillage.
Poor girls, they have, we fear. done too
much for the carpet baggers, and espe-
cially for Packard, If the following ex-
tract from their address is to be believed:
'In this last campaign we worked faith
fully collectively with you that Presi-
dent Hayes and Governor Packard
might be our chiefs. But what do we
see, man that we sacrificed, some their
honor, some their lives, and some their
husbands, for what? His Southern
policy"
This is both bad grammar and bad
morals, and we are sorry to hear that
some Of the colored ladies went SO far
in their devotion to the ex-Boss.

ANOTHER SWINDLE.
The President of ihe West Philadelphia
Railway Issues 100000 of Frnudu-


lent Stock
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.-John S. Morton,
President of the West Philadelphia railway
line, resigned this afternoon and Samuel Baugh
was elected to fill the vacancy. Morton &C
knowledges that the over issue of stock will
reach 10000 shares, representing over million
dollars, and that fraud has been going on since
1870. He further states that he was drawn in
to the defalcation by others. whose names he
will not divulge, and that he never pocketed a
dollar of any of the transactions. Morton, who
is also President of the Permanent Exhibition,
has hitherto borne very high reputation for
integrity, and today's disclosures were sur
prise to every one. The stock of the company
yesterday sold at $3.50 per share, the par val ue
being $50. This afternoon it was quoted as
low as $50.
The directors Of the company today, after &C.
cepting President Morton's resignation, ousted
Stokes, the Secretary, and Kuhn, the Treasurer.
Neither said anything on the subject except
that their counsel had advised them to keep ST.
lent. Mr.. Baugh, who has been elected Presi-
dent is the heaviest stakeholder in the road,
and the story goes that he has been buying up
some of the over-issue not knowing it was
bogus. Swain, late publisher of the Public
Record, is the third heaviest stakeholder. Elk
perts are going over the books. 1t is reported
that the late officers would be arrested.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23-The committee OF
experts have been engaged all day examining
the books of the Market Street Passenger Rail-
way company, put nave not YET succeeded IN
ascertainipg the full extent of the defalcation.
About II 600 shares are supposed to have been
issued and disposed OF at an average price Of
800. No arrests have been made. Mr.. Nor.
ton said today that the $4,000 of stock placed
at the Corn Exchange Bank was not of the
overssue. That stock had been placed there in
1869, and as fast as the note became due it had
been renewed. In 1870 he said he made very
heavy loss in Reading, which he had been car.
rying ever since, and he had gone into various
schemes in the hope that he could weather the
storm, but failed.
