Saturday two young ladies were
returning from North Troy. to their

they were passing through piece OF
woods were suddenly ascosted by three
tramps. The girls ran and the tramps
gave chase, threatening to kill them if
they did not stop. The timely arrival

saved the lives of the girls.

TO the charitable forbearance of the
South and to the conservatism and
patriotism of the Democratic leaders
is due the bloodless reception of the
infamous decision of the Electoral
Commission by an outraged people,
who were defrauded of their franchise
when Tilden was counted out of the
high office TO which he had been hon
estly elected. Sooner or later, how
ever, the right will be vindicated, and
the mockery of justice will flourish no
more. The men who consummated
this villainous coup d etat now deeply
repent in gall and wormwood their &C.
tions, because in Mr.. Hayes they find
they have caught political Tartar.
But the end is not yet. This is but
the beginning of the modification
which precedes dissolution and death.
Treachery and deception will surely
be punished, and the authors thereof
60 down to infamy, unwept, union
ored and unsung.

1t seems that Pin White was 4
citizen OF Manchester some thirty
years ago, and was connected with
the Galena, a newspaper OF which
John Caldwell was editor. Certain
libellous articles appeared IN the paper
one being against Col, Reed, then
agent Of the Amoskeg mills. The
authorship of these articles was imput-
ed TO White, and he was arrested
and confined in the old Amherst Jail
for about six weeks. When he was
liberated number of bis friends pro-
ceeded to Amherst with a barouche
and four horses and brought him to
Manchester with great rejoicing, and
upon his arrival here bells were rung,

A Notorious Career,

Pin White, who was arraigncd in
tho Superior Criminal Court Friday
and held in $4,000 bonds to answer Ia
n charge of cmbezzlemen,, as stated
in Fridays paper, has, it is alleged,
run most evcn,ful criminal career
lie was born in Wcathcrslield, W.,
and although he was given the
rather unusual name of Plin he has at
times been known as Plymouth II. J..
and r l.. White, and S. Merrill, sign
ing any one Of these names TO bust
ness papers as his fancy prompted him
lie began life as a printer IN Mon'pe'
lier, W., afterwards worked at the
case on the Boston Atlas, and served
rs a reporter for the New York Her
aid. After making $4,000 in shade
manufacturing, he started in tie brok
erage business, and in 1852 was Of the
firm of VIM, Hawkins & White.
He was then twentyseven years OF
age, and living in rather expensive
style. Having some trouble with his
partners, he, it is alleged, borrowed
large sums, and taking all the cash of
the firm, escaped to Europe with
$4,000. Returning in few months,
he evaded the processes OF The law,
borrowed 100000 Of Sheriff Wilett
of New York, and a like sum of an
other man named Plat, who died of
nervous prostration from the occur
renee. He then, 1t is reported, swim
died al. his brothers and sisters, and
spent some time in Jail Tor swindling
Lot w. Winchester, now treasurer OF
the National Express Company, out of
100000. After the war he ap-
peared as State printer in Louisiana
under Governor Warmoth next as a
goods dealer in Portland, and
subsequently in Denver. Col. In the
latter place he robbed, it is said, his
partners and others Of $125,OOO, and
swlndled the agent, sent out Of Eastern
creditors to examine his accounts, ont
of $4,000. Arrested three times, he
once bought off the officers and twice
escaped by a habeas corpus. Next he
lived in elegant style in Montreal,
borrowing money upon false repre-
of Mrs. Furer, his landlady,
and a widow, Mrs. James Murphy.
In Boston, in 1877, Clinton Lowell
and Allen G. Lowell became fascinat.
ed with him, and believing his stories
of wealth, lawsuits, etc. loaned him
500, Mr.. Frank NJ. Linnell, OF
the "Great London Tea Company" al
lowed White to make his headquarters
at his store and loaned him money.
Becoming mislrustful, Linnell had him
watched. He was found to frequent
gambling hells, but before he could be
arrested he escaped. MIR. Linnell fol.
lowed and found him under arrest at
Charleston, S. c., through the efforts
of Detective Plnkham, who was act
ing for the Lovells. With some diff
Guilty he was brought to this city.
White is about fifty-three years of
age, of striking physique and persua-
sive appearance. His private relations
are reported to have been as irregular
as his business operations.
