CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 2o.-,,e statemen,
mas often been made that no man who wa.
not actually in public Office ever did sc
much to mold public sentiment and legis
latlon as the late Thurlow Weed. He was
IN constant correspondence with the great
men OF the nation, and did Auch toward
debating the policy of governors. con
crosses and presidents. At the close oil
the Mexican war, and after the absorption
OF Texas and California by the
United States, the Southern fire
eaters were anxious fol
another war. They felt that so long as the
attention of the country was taken up by
the prosecution of war there would be nc
time or inclination left in which to fight
their favorite institution of slavery. A reso.
luton was passed by congess giving notice
to England that the joint occupancy OF
Oregon by the United States and Great
Britain was no longer desired by the for.
mer country, and that it must be forthwith
terminated. The claim was further
set up by the United States for
the whole territory. The territory
then embraced all the territory lying be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the Pa
cific ocean, and extending from the forty
second parallel to fifty degrees, forty
minutes north latitude. This was far into
the territory now known as the British
possessions. If this demand was pushed
of course war with England must ensue.
1t was critical time. At this jpncture
Thurlow Weed addressed tie following let
ter to Joshua R. Giddings:
Aston House, New YORK, Dec. "a. 1s45
TO the Hon. J. Giddings-DEAR SIR: If
the president in his message plays the
game of war, why not out trump
him? Wars are some times ma
tional blessings, though generally the
reverse, but are there not worse things
than war? The Mexican war, though
causeless and ugly, yet contained Jewels
If war with England would give us a tariff,
Canada and freedom, shall we refuse it +?
But it has another aspect-the duplicity of
the administration. We're you to take this
ground in one of your strong, vigorous,
fifteen minutes speeches, it would blow the
war and administration sky high. Very
truly yours, ISigned] THuRLow WEED.
Mr.. Walter Buell., recent blographer
of Mr. Giddings, in speaking of his speech
npon this subject, says: ''Giddings and
Adams, while never favoring such de-
mand, or desiring war, saw the
advantage of their position over that of
the South. On the 5th of January, 1916.
Mr.. Giddings addressed the house, favor
ing the absorption of Oregon as proposed,
in speech that cut the South to the quick.
He turned back at them the batteries which
they had used against him in the Texas
debate. He showed how war with Eng
land if successful, could only end in the
acquisition of the whole of Canada by the
United States; how that territory would
naturally be a non-slave holding one; how
in the event of continental union of the

kellOyg's Case.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 28.-Returns from
the Third congressional district were final
ly computed to-day. The canvassers threw
out Assumption and st. Mary's parishes,
on the ground of informality in returns.
The former gave Kellogg 1.13O, the latter
1881, leaving him about 1000 majority.
Governor McEnery refused to issue a GER
tificate to Kellogg on the ground of non
reridence in the district or state. and has
given him until Monday to submit brief
and evidence. Kellogg has prepared a
statement showing he came to the state in
the spring of 1865; that he was the sixth
man registered under the military
reconstruction act in 1875. in
the parish of Orleans: that
he has since constantly registered and
voted in the state, bought and sold proper

The Electric Light Steamers.

The st. Paul and st. Louis Packet com
pany, better known as Commodore David
sons Electric Light line, did a very sue
cessful business during the past season.
The tonnage for up steamers was 1O.O92
tons, for down steamers was l.4OO tons.
The first boat reached La Crosse April 4.
The first bo,t to St. Paul was the War
Eagle which reached this city on the 10th
of April. The number of horses. mules and
cattle transported both ways was 1850
head. The number of arrivals was as fol-
lows: The Arkansas made five trips, the
White Eagle five, the War Eagle seventeen.
the Minneapolis nineteen, the Centenniel
eight, the Alex Mitchell fourteen. the Grand
Pacific thirteen, the Alex Kendall three.
the Keokuk five, making a total of eighty
nine trips. Since the death of the esteemed
Capt. John H. Reaney, Mr.. L. n Scott has
occupied the position of agent of this i'm
portant line of steamers; and it is no more
than justice to say that Mr.. Scott has fully
justified the judgment Of Commodore
Davidson in selecting him as agent of the
line. He is quiet, pleasant, agreeable. and
possesses in high degree the great req
ulsIte of patience. He has maze very
acceptable officer and one that has been
very much liked by the business men of
this city.
Another BeGuest for the Cincinnati College

CINCINNATI, Nov. i2S.-An important
step toward creating an endowment of the
Cincinnati College of Music. has lust been

OF Music offering to give to the College the
income forever of SEC, 900 par value of stock
OF the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago
hallway company, which is guaranteed a
seven per cent. dividend annually by the
pennsylvania Railroad company. Mr..
Springer stipulates that his gift is on the
condition that the stockholders of the Col
lege OF Music shall agree to relnauish for
ever all dividends on their stock. and this
agreement shall be endorsed on their Ger
tihca4es of stock, or incorporated
IN new issue. He also re-
quires that all income or profits
realized from the business of the college
shall be used in extending its usefulness
and perfecting its teachings. In event of
the failure of the college, he makes the st.
'ss pa . phi Asylum of C m nins VI Ie
the recipient of this gift. The board of
directors have accepted the conditions of
the gift and are to have all stock paid up
with the condition that no dividends shall
be paid, and upon death of the present
holders, shalt revert to the college, and in
she event of failnre of the college shall 90

cusnstances, Indicate Most Unhappy
New Year for d Couple of Families.
For the past few days the city has been
rife with rumors that A. A. Pearson, an
Elm street milliner and married man, had
eloped with one Of his young lady clerks,
Miss Edna May Bradley, and excitement
in regard to the matter has run high
throughout all Dallas The facts in con-
nection with this ease, So far as we have
been enabled to obtain them, arc that Mr.
Pearson left Dallas last Tuesday morning
with his packed travelling yalise containing
q change Of clothing and u memoranda OF
bills due him, advising his wife that he
was going TO Gainesville and other
points on s collecting tour.
He further stated that If he
did net return by the next evening he
would telegraph her his whereabouts and
keep her posted in that respect. More
than week has elapsed and moi a word has
been heard from him, On the evening Of
the same day Miss Bradley suddenly deIor-
mined 10 visit friends as she said at Nine
ola, Tyler and Palestine, and little While
after left Parsons store in hack that
drove mp there for her, Not one word has
been heard from Der since her depart
for at the poiHts above naincd.
1t has been the simultaneous and suspicious
disappearance of these two parties, couped
with certain ugly rumors pertaining to them
for some weeks past, that has given rise to
The idea Of clopement, that so generally pre-
walls III this community. Mr.. Pearson, be-
fore leaving, drew what money he had in
bank excepta small balance as alsn, ofwhat
there was in the safe nthe store, the results
OF the closing years and months collec-
tons without the knowledge of his wife,
who has been his chief hclpInate, ifindeed,
not partner in the establishment.
Mrs. Pearson, who enjoys the high cs-
teen of the ladies Of Dallas for her always
lady-like conduct and excellent business
abilities, is heartbroken and almost mind
wrecked at this unfortunate condition of at
lars concerning her domestic and business
relations. She has placed matters in the
hands of her attorney, Colonel J. B. Sinlp-
son, for investigation and settlement. An
assignment was last evening made to Mr.
Zee, ST., of Fee Brothers, who duly quail
ned and took charge Of the stock un-
der $4,000 bond. Parsons liabilities
are estimated at something over
$1,000, while his assets are said TO be in
sufficient to cover. Mrs Brady the mother
OF the young girl, appears greatly exercised
and distressed over the unexplained con-
duct Of her daughter, and the unhappy ru-
mlors which have SO generally connected
hernamc with her late employer. She ex-
presses the firm conviction in regard to her
as does Mrs Pearson about her husband
that all will yet terminate satisfactorily.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson
had been boarders for the
past few days at the house Of the mother Of
the young girl Mr.. ana Mrs. Pearson
have q most interesting daughter about
nine years OF age, and il seems scarcely pos
slble that u man, not actually demunIed,
could have thus deserted such an estimable
woman and VIE and so sweet child.
