mind. We would be willing to leave 1t to any
one who survived the perusal of Mr.. Marbles
recent manifesto to say whether this sentence
does not read like a direct quotation from the
extraordinary document in which we were told
just bow "lethal weapons" were " fashioned to
"the hand of every hater of fraud" and just
when "the flagitious cOmplot was fragrant"
Indeed the telegram strikes US as being
nearer to Mr.. Marbles best VEN than
the manifesto. He certainly shows
nicer sense of fitness in choosing his words.
"Fetid,n for instaDce-what word could
better describe the business of intriguing over
electoral votesi "Linguist "-how appropri-
ate to the man of many ciphers Kettle
" drum "-how natural the word seems in the
mouth of master of the hewgag and the
most accomplished performer upon the whang-
doodle in the land. Here, however, Mr.. Marble
ceases to be felicitOus. TO say neat CATTLE"
when he evidently wanted mules" was
blunder, for mules, as every drover knows,
are not "neat cattle"
And "geOdesy ~ Who ever saw the word
before outside of an unabridged dictionary,
except in the editorial columns of The World
when Mr.. Marble was its editor ! The " ora
is not to be found in the little
Oregon dictionary, nor in the books of
ciphers affected by mysterious persons like Mr.
Marble lie must have made his own cipher,
for no one else in the world would have hit
upon that word except the man who put " IN
" cremable" into the Oregon dispatch.
Here is the twin brother of the dispatch just
given: ,uo,o,.,
To WILLIAM I. PELToS 10 Groplerey PARK, ". ]. Crg;
Rely Terra Gotta this mulch conjure.
This looks like dispatch that might have
a highly interesting translation, for 1t would
need translation. Even a person of Mr.. Mar
ble's trustful disposition would hardly make a
serious request of Colonel Pelton to rely
upon the fragile substance he mentions,
and even Colonel Pelton would hardly
contend that he and Mr. Marble were
so much under the influence of any
species of crockery mania that they could not
refrain from exchanging sympathetic messages
by wire.
Taking the other end of the line, here is
dispatch to Mr.. Marble, evidently from Colo
mel PeltOn: ,r,-,,-.

Here is one in which Spain" retires to

fusion to our distinguished fellOw-citizen OF

Here is a telegram sent the next day in
which some concern is evidently displayed
about the action of the &" Board" and there
ia apparently an allusion to General Barlow

OF course Mr. Marble will promptly explain
these and other curious kilograms that we
have printed. No doubt he will soon be ready
to tell us why nearly every telegram he sent or
received in Florida was in cipher; why Inc was
ashamed to sign his name to some Of them, and
why so few of his telegraphic correspondents
were willing TO sign their names, or even
their initials, TO what they wrote. Also why
he took such an active interest in the affairs
of Oregon that he was apparently the first to
suggest to Governor Grover to withhold a
certificate from one of the lawfully chosen
electors, and continued to take part in the in
trigue.
While he is doing this, let him be careful to
explain the coincidence we have already
pointed out-that on the same day that the
following dispatch was sent to Senator Kelly
in Oregon: .r--..ro
Hon JAS. X. KELLY:
The eight deposited as directed this morning let 30
techniealiiy prevent ginning. Use your discretion.
(NO signature)
the following joyful dispatch was sent to
Mr. Marble in Florida
NEwYORK. Dec. @.
Mr. MASTON MARBLE:
Pray refresh yourself with st. Johns Well and
happy. That t0ork is finished. X.
Mr. Marble has had time enough 70 collect
his vocabulary, and no really ought to begin
the explanation.
