President Garfeld's papers will probably
be found little memoranda from Roscoe

the hall of the National Convention at
Chicago, in about these words:

be dark horse in this convention there
is no man whom l would prefer before
yourself. CoNKLING.
The reply was this:

THE TURNER TRAGEDY.
A Singular Verdict Walsh Released
on Bail.

CHARLESTON, September 28.-The jury
Of inquest in the case of the Turner homi-
eide returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death at the hands of persons
unknown to the jury. Inasmuch as Walsh
himself told the officer to whom he surren-
dered himself that he had shot Turner, and
has never denied the shooting, the verdict is
generally regarded with some surprise. As
soon as the verdict was rendered Walsh
gave bail in the sum of $4,000 and was at
once released from custody.

A swindler who passed himself off in
New Orleans, some months ago, as Capt.
Beuvier Tempest, of the royal British
navy, has recently been operating very
successfully in Denver and other places
in Colorado. He lives like a prince, is
able to beat" his way through the
world while honest men have to pay;
gets into the best society and swindles
everybody, men and women, whom he
chooses, and manages to make himself
the toast of all the toadies and tuft-hunt-
ers. The strangest part of the whole af-
fair is that this fellows victims always
allow him to escape. They become so
much infatuated with him that they
cannot be induced to prosecute the
sharper.

New York, Dec. 31.-The Evening
Post has the following: Yesterdays
Evening Post contained copy Of the
statement made by the Washington
Star to the effect that Gen Mcdowell
was brought from the Pacific coast to
New York at an expense Of 81 200 to
vote for Gen Garfield. Please permit
me to state that Gen. Mcdowell did not
vote at the last election. The general
and wife arrived at the Brevoort house
from the west As hours previous to the
last day of registration. He would,
therefore, have been obliged 20 register
and vote at Seventeen Clinton Place,
which was in the 18th election district
Of the 10th assembly district, but the
registration books Of that place fail to
show that the general registered and
voted therein, and he was unable to dc
so at any other point in the city. 1t is
safe to delare that the government did
not expend 81, 200 for Mcdowell to vote
for Garfield or.any other candidate.
Yours truly,

London, Dec. 31.-The Times says:
The year 1880 has been one of solid
business in most directions, and of
foolish speculations in very few. The
beginning only of speculative period
has been reached, and it may be years
before we reach its height. From all
appearances, both France and the Unit
ed States are far ahead of us in this
direction. On them, principally, the
duration of the time Of quiet business
activity would seem to depend. The
prodigious absorption Of capital in pub
lie works, now going on in France, may
alone lead to temporary unpleasant re-
suits to SPECTATORS for rise, but the
new year will be begun hopefully, and
such is the temper of the stock markets
that still higher range of prices need
surprise nobody.
