Unmatched Chickens,

singular story Of wholesale swindling
ana incoEceivable crcdulity comes from
i'oihe. ABOUT year ago young and
beautiful woman, believed to be an Amcri
can, and credited with the possession of an
enormous fortune, arrived in the Italian
capital, accompanied by young man be-
longing TO one Of the oldest and most dis
tihguishcd Roman families, aud by u monk.
cy. She had no other travelling compan-
ions. Shortly after her arrival she was
married to the young aristocrat, whose
name the Italian papers conceal under the
title of Signor y. The couple went upon
wedding tour, and spent money with law
ish hands. They selected tho city of Portici
Tor their home, saying that they wished to
i've IN retirement while awaiting the COM
pletion of fmadamo'stwcnty-ff fifth year, When
she would come in full possession of her
fortune and would receive $4,000. 600.
Every one was ready to give credit to such
great hcrcss. A Roman gentleman. in
whose villa the couple lodged, loaned them
OF. 600 francs, and guaranteed payment for
10000 francs worth of jewclry, which
they bought in Naples. They made debts
among tho Ncapolitan merchants and bank
ers to the amount of 100000 francs. In
itome they vlctimizcd the shopkccpcrs
heavily for diamonds, corals, costly furs
and other portable articles of high price.
Nothing seemed too costly, provided they
could get credit tor it. They even had the
handles Of parasols and umbrellas set with
precious stones. They contracted to buy
the Villa Nliratioli for 100000 francs,
bought seven carriages and forty horses,
and ordered n private railway cur and u
yacht. Within year they managed to
make debts 10 the extent of over half a
million of dollars. The date fixed for pay
mcnt was in all cases the first of March,
In February the couple went to Paris and
then to London, movement that seems to
have excited no suspicion among their
creditors; but on the first of March nows
came TO Rome that they had gone to Amer
lca taking with them an immense quantity
OF baggage. A few days later banker in
Rome received a letter from the husband,
saying that the will making his wife rich
heircss had been set aside, and that they
had gone to America, hoping with pcrse-
vcrance and indcfatigable effort to regain
the position they had occupied In the
world.

Perlured Witnesses

When the Democratic managers found that
their assertions relative 10 the authenticity
Of the Morey letter were likely to fall to the
ground they decided to Try to bolster them
up by producing witnesses who would tes,-

Democratic candidate for elector in MaSsa-

The witnesses were coached IN what il
was necessary for them TO testify to and tax

testimony they were cross-examined and
under this they broke down and both con

interests Of the Democratic leaders and that

rascals are hunted down but enough has
already been obtained TO show that men

party gave their SANCTION and aid TO the
spreading broadcast Of letter they
knew TO have been forged and subsequently
TO the suborning Of witnesses Of thu most
degraded character to bolster up their as
ssrtioRs Of It's authenticity
The anxiety Of these leaders to escape
from the tolls they have woven around them
selves is a sad spectacle Ehen We reflect that
only recently they were prominently before
the country as the leading men in great
party.
In the opinion Of prominent men inelud-
ing Gen. Garfield, the publication Of the
forged letter a; the time it was given to the
public, caused the loss Of California and
Nevada, and probably Of New Jersey, TO the
Republicans. IF this is TUE, but for the

has never been a more splendid acquics-
cence in the result Of an election than that
shown BY the great majority Of Democratic
organs and voters on the morning after cleo
ton. There were never so many and such
controlling reasons for avoiding disputed
Presidency. To the honor of Gen. Hancock
and the chief men of his party be il said
that they bowed to the verdict Of the people
like true Americans. We do not fear that
they will attempt TO go back upon them
selves and their convictions Of duty. But
blind leaders, such as Mr.. Barnum has
shown himself to be, and the "small Great
ures," as Horace Greeley would put il. who.
for some inscrutable reason, are permitted
to run the State Committee of the Demo-
cratic party in New York. are quite equal to
any imaginable piece of criminal folly The

and the result assured. The country has
