SPECIAL ATTENTION.
is called to Gen. James B. Steedman,
who has been making himself notorious
in Ohio as a Democratic reformer. This
person was collector of internal revenue
at New Orleans under Andrew johnson
from 1867 to 1869, and, according to the
statement from the books of the treasury
he defaulted to the amount of $3.50, 452
No part of this sum has been accounted
for to the government.
Matrimonial Middle
GALEsBURG, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-In tie
dispatches last week were given the par
ticulars of the elopement of Miss Nellie
Chase, u refined and educated young
lady, daughter of the late Rev. DIR
Chase, of the Episcopal church, will
Sam Monroe, cOlored, her mothers
coachman. They were married at the
house of negro named Payne, ter
miles from here, but the same day Mon
roe was arrested upon q charge of lar
ceny, for carrying off a satchel of cloth
ing belonging to q young lady. He was
tlaeed IN Jail where he remained or
bail. He has had no opportunity o.
seeing his wife since their marriage, as
she was spirited away to relatives a
KenOsha. Another startling act con.
nected with the affair took place
this morning at the depot here
Miss Chase, accompanied by hel
two brothers and her brOther-in-law
Rev. g. II. Higgins, were aboard the
O'Clock passenger train for Peoria, Wherl
Mr.. Chase resides. Miss Chase haC
scarcely got seated in the car, when, Il
the surprize of all, her colOred lover anC
husband put in an appearance and in
sisted on seeing his wife. An alterca
ton at once took phase between him anC
the young lady's relatives, during which
blows were exchanged. Horace Chase
drew a revolver and shot at the retreat
ing negro. The ball missed its mari
and struck Mr.. Geo. Croker, a wei
known merchant, in the shoulder; hi
wound is not serious. This brough
them together, and a regular rough
and tumble fight took place upon tn,
platform, in which Monroe, the Chas,
brothers and a policeman were partici
pants. Monroe escaped unframed.
II. Chase was taken before the polio,
court and gave bonds for his appearance,
next Monday morning. Monroe wa
discharged, no one appearing agains
him. Miss Chase and her relatives wen
to Peoria on the next train. The ex
citement runs high, and it is difficult t
see what course affairs may take. N,
one appears to know the sentiments O
the young lady about the affair, but he
friends claim she was out of her mint
when she married the negro. Sam say
he is bound to have his wife.
The Maine COnundrum.
BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 20.-Gov. Davis
of Maine telegraphed from Augusta tn
following: ~ shall be elected by 80
or 400 without doubt"
BOSTON, Sept. Ex-senator Blaine i
in this city, and telegraphs TO Chairman
Jewell, of the Republican national com
| mittee: Intelligence reaches me her
to-day indicating that the telegraphic II
port of votes as published by the asso
ciated press is in some cases modifie
| by the clerks, returns as they reach th
office of the secretary of state, wher
they are open to the inspection of tn
| public. These notifications are of sue
| character as to render the contest b.
tween Davis and Plaisted extremel
close, possibly requiring the official n
turns to determine which is elected. Til
kpfficial returns cannot be counted @
even opened until the meeting of tn
Legislature IN January. Abiding to tn
cry OF fraud put forth by chairman Ra
mum, Blaine says the only possible Of
| pOrtunity for frauds in the election n
turns under our laws is in the Frenc
plantations of Afoosiook, where asses.
i Ots sign returns in q language wit
1 I do know that frauds have been con
united in past years by Democrat
i agents, and repeat that nowhere else
Maine is fraud practicable. Blaine say
also that Barnum is in error when he q
sumes that ali election returns shOul
should be at Augusta the day sitter Il
election. Maine is larger in territoI
than all the other New England stat
together, and the southWestern-mo
towns in Maine are nearer to Balsimol
than to the French plantations on the u
per st. John, by any practicable rout
and man can go as quickly from A
gusta to Chicago as he can go from Al
gusta to Fori Kent.
A Remarkable Record.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE closing da
of the Jockey club fall trotting W,
marked by fine exhibitions Of speed an
endurance, and will remain prominei
in the memory of all present. The pc

merOus disadvantages, is set down IS q

dark, when Maud 8. was br0aght o
the track. The sky was cloudy aud
strong south wind blowing. At the ilr

less interest and excitement. Il va
feared, however, that the strong hea
wind when she turned would slacken hs
