Heman y. Chapman was in September, 1873,

in La Sale, Illinois. On the 18th OF that month
he had delivered into his hands package con-
tanning $4,000 consigned to the Matthleson
Uerelcr Zinc Co.. to be delivered at the Office at
their works While on his way to deliver the
money he was met, as he claimed, by three men,
who robbed him Of the money by leaping on the
wagon, Selling him by the throat and Supplying
him with choroform

The officers of the Express Company did not
believe the story told by Mr.. Chapman, but be

was tried before the Circuit Court OF this county
for embezzlement. The case was hotly contested,
but his able counsel-Messrs. Eldredge ana blah-

Now Chapman had been poor man; had been
earning but $40 month and owned but his resi-
dence property. SO far as the world generally
knew, Nor did the world know that he was earn
ing ANYTHING after his trial. Some one watched
and noted all his actions, presumably the Express
COMPANY. In August, when 10 them Things
seemed ripe, they swooped down upon him again;
they searched his house, finding therein gold
watch and chain, some badly decomposed money
to the amount of between $500 and 800; two
s2lS gold pieces, some letters and a memoran-
dunn book Then Chapman was arrested: pre-

WASHINGTON, March 18th, 1879,
All the candidates and office seekers on
the Potomac appear to be quiet to night and
are pursuing those tactics which are known
in politics as a still hunt" A few mem
bcrs who left Immediately On adjournment
have returned but the number is small, and
the Democratic house caucus has been
postponed from Saturday the 18th, inst,
until Monday the 18th.
The Democratic Senators will hold their
caucus on Saturday, and it is expected that
the attendance will be full with perhaps
the single exception Of Hampton of South
Carolina. 1t is understood that the eau.
Gus will meet on Saturday night to appoint
committee to draft schedule of the
standing committees Of the Senate on the
part of the Democratic majority, and per.
haps to discuss informally the merits of the
candidates for the various offices
1t appears that Cot. Stoddlrd Johnson
Of Kentucky, has initiated the beautiful
example Of Mrs, Hayes, in establishing thu
rule that there shall be no liquor dispensed

IT IS well that Senator Lamar limited
the Washington-iike admiration Of jeff
DAVIS TO the people of the South. Wash
ington fought five years to establish the
government JEFF Davis fought four
years to destroy it. The people
of the North, reveying the mem.
DRY of Washington fer the gift of free
government, very heartily damn jeff
Davis for striving to destroy
it. The people Of the South,
bless jeff Davis for striving to divest them
of the gift for which they bless even Wash
ington's memory. Not being quite so
liberal or inconsistent in the bestowal OF
our blessings, we are glad that the gentle
man from Mississippi put geographical
limitations to his rather surprising ayowal.
