Another Ingenious swindIe.

What follows is only one illustra-
ton showing how ignorant and over
credulous people are swindled and
humbugged by reading the alluring
advertisements which appear in
many ofthe country and some of the
city papers. We sometimes think
that the editors publishing the swim
dies are as culpable as the swindlers
themselves.
The Baltimore Sun says that su-
perinlendent Walling, Of the New
York police, has communicated to
the New York press, some facts Illus
trative of the mode Of swindling by
pretended stock. jobbing "pools," a
much more adroit fraud than. the
"sawdust" swindlc, since the rogues
can neither be made answerable to
the law nor checked in their opera
tons Mr.. Walling received from
one of the victims Of the swindler, a
young lady of Montgomery, Ala, who
had "put in" S25 toward the pool, a
complete set of the "circulars" and
"reports" of the firm. These people
advertise, especially in country pa
Ipers, and they comprise Wall street
I firm Of uneSampled facilities, that
the. times are ripe for successful
speculation, and that persons who
send them small sums may expect to
reap large returns as the result Of
the cooperative system of buying and
selling stocks resorted to by them
They issue circulars and pamphlets,
and offer shares in their "combina-
lions" to grecnhorns of every degree.
They issue Certificates" against the
money sent them, forward reports ex-
hibiting the progress Of operations
and the accrction of profits, seeking
always to,inveigle their victims into
throwing good money after bad, but
never by any chance do they return
single penny oil the original invest
ment. In the young lady's case. the
first "report" showed her entitled to
a profit o. sl625o; the next gave her
a credit balance of 1880; the third
a credit of s62.50; the fourth, when it
was discovered that no more money
could be got out Of her, wiped out the
entire credit balance and brought
her in debt $3.50 The Secretary Of
the New York Stock Exchange, it is
said, received q letter from a clergy
mans widow recently, stating that
she had been swindled out of $4,000,
| all the money she possessed, by one
Of these rascally concerns.

Mr. Elitor: The crisis is past The
new Board Of Education Of Graham
District, has met and decided who
shall be the teachers for the ensuing
year in the several sub Districts, ex-
cepting two which will be filed by
the Commissioners living in said
school districts. There seems to be
great deal of dissatisfaction exist
ing among the people, in regard to
the action of the Board, in hiring
teachers contrary to the wishes of q
majority Of the people; and also for
hiring teachers from other States,
while quite number Of intelligent,
selfeducated home teachers, were
left out in the cold. This all arises
from placing men on the ticket, who
have no claims on the Democratic
party, except for abusing it on every
available opportunity; and again we
say that all this would have been
partly avoided, if we had placed
honest, straight-out Democrats on the
ticket, instead of one or two mulish-
headed Radical fanatics.

We are in receipt of the paper
published at Oxford, Mississippi,
where Dixon was "assassinated" on
the 10Th inst.
From it we learn that the difficulty
was purely a personal one between
Dixon and a man named Barksdale,
who did the killing. The fight be-
tween the men began in the street,
Dixon being armed with a revolver
and Barksdale q shotgun. Dixon
fred first, and then ran into u near
stairway, and from there fired four
more shots before he fell. Barksdale
fred at him in the stairway and
filed him full of shot, killing him.
No other parties were participants,
or in any way engaged in the quar-
rel. And that is all there is of the

Politically, all eyes are turned to,

paign has excited more general in.
tercst throughout the nation With
the presidential election so near at

much upon the result Of this contest,
and those of their political associates
far and near, who are not able to
directly aid them, anxiously await
the outcome. With the Republicans
the situation is desperate-a regular
ground hog case; for should they lose

would be all clear gain. Ohio is not

A great deal is being said just
now, says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
by Republican stumpers of a change
in the times for the better; That, hav.
ing touched bottom, business is tend
ing upward. We hope that this is
true. We want to see better times.
And, not being able to get lower,
having reached bottom, we do not
see any other direction for business
to take, if it-change at all, except to
go up. If what is said is true, the
panic Of 1873. has worn itself out,
after having ruined tens of thous-
ands Of honest merchants, driven
money capital from business and
industrial enterprises into Govern
ment bonds, shrunk the values of
property nearly one-half, brought
ruin and misery to homes, and
women and children without number,
starved labor, forced riots and insti.
tuted the tramp. 1t lies now ex.
hausted on hard-pan, too feeble for
further mischief. Suwarrow, after
having butchered forty thousand
Poles, men, women and children,
sent word to his Imperial mistress,
Catharine, that "Order reigned in
Warsaw" So the panic, the oflal
of a vicious financial policy, having
slain its thousands and tens of thous-
ands at the command of the Money
Power, the Secretary of the Treasury
announces that confidence is again
restored, and that business is reviv-
ing. The country is to be congratu.
lated that, after all the sad experen-
COS it has gone through, on account
ofthecriminal financial blunderingo Of
Republican party Administrations,
it can begin to see the daylight Of
prosperity.

they are: "l'he Republican party,

with powers similar to those possessed
by an empire. The Democratic par.
