at Least He PTetends He as. BIT He 4lp-
pears to be q Fraud.
Mankato Review Feb. 10.
In our last issue we gave an account of
the doings at Winnebago Agency, of man
purporting to be nephew of Thurlow
Weed of New York, but who is one of the
most plausible impostors that ever visited
this section of the country. After his real
character is known, he became notified to
leave the agency, and not relishing the man
ner in which this intelligence was conveyed
to him, he took his departure afoot, coming
in this direction. A gentleman at the
Agency who had loaned various articles of
clothing to Weed. and which the latter for
gotto leave behind overlook him on the
road, and to him Weed confessed that he
was an impostor, and thst he had been ply
ing his vocation for ten or twelve years. He
begged so pitifully that he was permitted to
depart.
We next heard of him on Monday evening
last, when Mr.. S. @. Larkin overlook him
on the public road leading to Decoria. To
this gentleman he represented that his name
was Wick. Mr.. Larkin kept him over night,
and next day he went to Mr.. Hanna's farm,
about whom he probably had made some
revious inquiries, representing that his name
was Hanna, that he was relative, and was
just returning to New York from visit to
Redwood Falls, where he had gone to pur-
chase some land for an uncle living in New
York. He represented that his uncle was
preparing genealogical tree of the Hanna
family, had heard of the Minnesota Hannas,
and had particularly charged him to visit
them and procure all information necessary
to perfect that much desired family record.
He talked with much familiarity about the
Hanna family residing in Catskiu, New
York, and with an assurance that for time
at least, gained the confidence and attention
of his host. He was still at Mr.. Hanna's on
Thursday, when Mr.. Hanna was in this city
and learned the mans true character. He
has probably left there. and we shall not be
surprised to soon learn that he is enjoying
the hospitality of some other family in Min
nesota, as an eastern relative visiting them
for the first time.
The fellow is small in stature, dark COM
| plexioned, wears long black hair, black
mustache. and has the appearance of man
travelling for his health. He is very gentle
manly appearing man, fluent of speech and
very plausible address.
He is not a person who would be classed
as sharp or shrewd, but his apparent in
nocence and inohensiveness rather disarms
suspicion and more readily enlists sympathy
and confidence. This led many to suppose
that the nam is really laboring under a
species of idiocracy incident to the impaired
| condition to his health.

WAS THERE A BARGAIN IN LOUIS.
IANA.

Bargain, OF no bargain, sale or no sals,
compromise OF no compromise, promisas or
no promises, the people of the United States
were not parties and are not bound by any
action of the 'visiting statesmen at New
Orleans. It is impossible to conceive in
what manner the President of the United
States could be a party to any compromise.
The Presidential Office is, presumably, far
remote from any compromises OF secret agree
ments. 1t is strange spectacle to behold
John Sherman and Eugene Hale attempt
ing to drag President Hayes into this squab-
BILE. Is this the part of friendship? Is it the
part of gratitude? Is it the part of wisdom?
The Executive Office is high and sacred
one. The position occupied by Mr.. Hayes
is one not without an1ieties and great deli
cacy. We had supposed that the friends of
the administration claimed the Office by vir-
tue of the decision of the Electoral Commits
sion. The emergency was one not provided
for in the Constitution. Something had to be
done. The Commission was created and
the commission declared Rutherford B.
Hayes President. What has he to do with
the returning board of Louisiana? The
course pursued by Sherman and Hale and
the twisting statesmen interfering with
State courts, and making martyrs of Wells,
convict themselves and to ruin the admins
tration.
Wells and Anderson have been regularly
indicted in State court. They are charged
with violations of State laws. If they are
guilty, they should be punished if innocent,
acquitted. In either case, on what possible
grounds can the President interfere?
True, the Legislature of Louisiana resolved
that there should be no prosecutions for
political offences Wells and Anderson
are charged with perjury, bribery and forgery.
Are these political offences?" Wells and
Anderson as private citizens would be no.
bodies, but branded with crime they are
holding United States Offices and they should
be punished or proved innocent.
The President has nothing to do with
these matters. His most bitter foes could
not wish him worse fate than would result
from meddling with these matters. The
moment he undertakes to protect Wells and
Anderson, it will be said from one end of the
country to the other that he himself was a
party to the bargain. Sherman and Hale and
associates are forcing this momentous issue.
These terrible questions have already pros
trated every industry, and the continued
agitation may bring on that awful condition
which was dreaded and finally avoided for
the time being, pending the decision of t he
presidential issue.

IN -1necdote of Lincoln.
Noah Brooks in Scribner.

While the ceremonies of the second in
auguration were in progress, just as Lincoln
stepped forward to take the oath of Office,
the sun, which had been obscured by rain
clouds, burst forth in splendor. In conver-
sation next day the President asked, "Did
you notice that sunburst? 1t made my heart
jump" Later in the month Miss Anna
Dickinson, in lecture delivered in the hall
OF the House of Representatives, eloquently
alluded to the sunburst as happy omen.
The President sat directly in front of the
speaker. and from the reporters gallery,
behind her. caught his eye soon after be
sat down. When Miss Dickinson referred
to the sunbeam he looked up to me, involur-
tarily. and thought his eyes were suffused
With moisture. Perhaps they were, but

Hiring II lHdHidc to Murder.
Pail Mall Gazatta


At the Preston police court, John James
Coupe, an attendant at the county asylum,
Nottingham, was charged with melting an
inmate named Jackson to murder two other
attendants, named Bailey and Kenyon. with
the ultimate object of committing larceny
From the evidence of Superintendent Webb,
it appeared that the prisoner incited the lun-
attic to secrete himself in certain part of
the grounds at certain hour of the night,
during which the attendants passed through,
and with short, sharp lance, with which he
supplied him, to murder them, SO that he
could the more easily get to certain boxes of
theirs. take out the contents. and give them
to him (the prisoner). The lunatic was then
to make his escape and 60 to London and
write thence to the prisoner to say how he
was getting on.
In the meantime the inmate gave infor-
nation to DR.. Holland, the Governor of the
asylum. who instructed him to meet the
prisoner according to arrangement, and who
sent number of persons to the place to
render any assistance that might be required.
On Monday night last, at the hour agreed
upon, the inmate secreted himself with his
weapon, and was siezed by the persons set to
watch just before the attendants were to
pass. The prisoner was subsequently ap-
pretended, when he pleaded guilty to the in
tended robbery, but altogether denied the at
tempt to murder the attendants by melting
the inmate to commit the deed.
After offering this statement, a remand
until Saturday was asked for, and the pris-
oner solicitor did not object, though he
hoped to show that the whole charge was a
fabrication. Supposing, however, what we
do not, of course, assume, that itshould turn
out to be well founded, it would show that
murder, considered as fine art, has at
tanned development unsuspected by De
Quincy.

IT was evident that amid all the excite
ment on Thursday last, relative to the school
text book bill, one of the advocates of the
Merrill-Appleton law was especially in
earnest. He was so enthusiastic in his adj
vocacy of the fifteen year monopoly, that the
Speaker once or twice was obliged to curb
him, and he saw imaginary chips on the
shoulders of all who disagreed with him. and
sought to knock them off. This enthusiasm
has since been partially explained by the dis
covery in the honorable members desk of a
half-flled bottle of whisky. We understand
that an investigation will be called for, and
as it is in direct violation of law to bring
liquor into the capitol, serious results may
follow.

TIE Happy FAMILr.

In the heyday of Barnum one of the chief
attractions of the great show was the
Happy Family" It was composed of ami
mails and birds, domestic and wild, of all
colors and kinds, but dwelling together in
peace and unity. There were monkeys and
balloons, cats and dogs, and variety
of the feathered tribe, all constituting one
peaceful family. This tranquility was very
deceitful; it was not genuine. The secret
was in the iron rod of the master. By
hunger and thrashing the hostile instincts
were kept i'll subsection. In the absence of
the master, this apparently peaceful party
would sometimes break out into open war,
and an animal pandemonium would ensue.
The Republican party under the slavery of
discipline, and the courage of the majority
have, hitherto in Minnesota, hating each
other, managed to present happy exterior,
to outsiders The disguise, we are happy to
say, is about being torn off, and we have the
instincts Of the animal in all their natural
ferocity. Impeachments and bribery are
the orders of the day in the Republican
Legislature, and down in the
Southern part of the State it
appears Republican rings have had things all
their own way for many years. So it seems
that Republican counties have .:rings," and
that Ramsey county is not alone in this re-
gard, as Republicans have so often charged.
Go on, gentlemen, let us have the whole
truth. It will be more peaceful, at least. to
tell it now than two years fence, when the
Democratic party will most assuredly relieve
you of the bnrden of State government.
