WHAT GOV. WELLS SAID.

Wells says he will not decide upon any
course of conduct until he has seen and
consulted with Anderson. Wells talked
very freely to-day. His friends say that
his mind is settled about one thing. and
that is. that if there is to be any punish.
ment Tor deeds which made Hayes presi
heni, tnat punishment will not be borne
by the returning board alone. The con.
eiuslon is very general that there are
matters connected with the action Of the
late returning board of which the public
knows nothing, but upon which Wells and
Anderson rely to bring certain influence to
their aid in their present trouble. They
say 1t the persons upon whom they depend
hesitate or fail, that no part of the trans
actions which gave Louisiana to HAYES will
longer sleep in mystery. 1t is believed
mere that these indictments are the result
of some advices from very prominent poli-
ticians in New York.

"The carpct-baggcrs of Virginia and other
Southern States have taken tho alarm at the

think they need a newspaper organ here since
the National Republican, which has always
been their stauuch ally, has iorsaken them and

been sent around calling for meeting of the
carpet taggers at Richmond to morrow 10 con-
suit on the situation and take such means as
they may think necessary to save to them
few crumbs Of the public patronage. But there
is no help for the carpet. .baggers; their day is

That Coupler.

Phil Helm has at last got it. His
automatic coupler is complete and pro-
nounced jus. the thing by all railroad men
who have examined it. He has two
miniature coaches complete. with a track of
800 reverse curve on which to exhibit
the workings of his patent. 1t is claimed
that this coupler is superior to the
Miller coupler aud buffer combined, in
that it is automatic; will operate on
curves as well as on a straight track; is
more easily handled and is not as heavy
as the Miller; cost less and will last
longer; will not jump ont on uneven track;
and will bold the platforms on line in
case of collision, thereby preventing tele-
scoping; prevents lost motion as the
slack" necessary to coupling on the
shortest curve is less than half an inch.
thereby preventing oscillation, which with
telescoping are two of the greatest enemies
of fast railroad travel Railroad men
will see that ifthese claims are successfully
maintained that the invention is one Of the
most valuable in their business,l

The Late Scandal in Anaalusia.

The ARGUS takes great pleasure in
copying the following, from tie Andaiusia
correspondent of the Gazette, published
in that paper on Saturday:
"A most scaDdalous report, concerning
one of our oldest aud most respected eiti-
zens, was, through the columns of the
Rock Island Union, given by some design
ing party, no doubt, to the public 1t is
sufficient to say, that the report is without
foundation, and Squire Ross stands all well
in the community here, as ever. From
conversation with citizens of all classes |
find the verdict is. that the whole matter
is a piece of blaokmail, and that Squire
Ross will come out with his character fully
indicated. +"
MIR. Ross, as stated in this paper when
the reported facts of the scandal were FIRST
published, is one of the best known, and
heretofore respected citizens in this county,
and his many friends will be glad that
the reports were nothing more than the
attempts of cowardly blackmailer to ruin
an excellent mans character
