TWO FARMERS vIcT1M1zED.

New YORK. Dec. 2S.-Elijah FL. Begley
and his son, farmers living near Points
vile. johnson county, KY, were to-day
victims of the old swindle by Alexander
Morse, the well-known confidence operator.
Some time ago Begley received a letter
offering $1,000 in lawful money for $780,
Considerable correspondence passed, but
to-day Begley arrived with his son and was
taken to Third avenue saloon by con-
federate in the swindle and shown upwards
of SIS. 900 in crisp bank notes, and some
gold. He paid the $500 and saw the So,
900 in supposed counterfeits, counted out
and put in a black leather bag. The
swindlers advised him to leave the city at
once to escape detection, Morse starting
with him to the railroad depot On the
way Police Inspector Murray met them,
and knowing Merse, suspected the swindle
and stopped the party. The bag so care
fully carried by Begley was loaded with
stones and paper and cent bag of salt.
Morse was locked up. The farmers are
without money.

AN ACQUISITION TO THE GOULD SYSTEM.

ST LOUIS, Dec 2s.-There is high au-
thority for stating that the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson railway, running
between Galveston and Houston, will, on
the first of January, pass into the hands of
Jay Gould and be operated as part of the
chase-o the Galveston, Houston and Hen
derson line gives the Gould system Gulf
coast outlet of its own, and will furnish the
management great facilities for handling
cotton and Texas products. The Texas
and St. Louis narrow gauge is now com
plete from Birds Point, opposite Cairo,
H., to Clarendon, Ark, a distance of 216
miles. Only forty miles of track laying
remains to be laid to finish the entire line
This will be accomplished in thirty days.
An iron bridge over the White river, with
a draw of $50 feet. was swung into position
yesterday, and freight trains are running
to Clarendon.

WORDS THAT BURN.
from the New York Sun .

There is aagood deal of what the play
bills call contelmporaneeus human interest
about the letters which have just been
made public through the New York Herald
by Stephen w. Dorsey, chairman of the re-
publican national committee. and one of
the defendants in criminal action on
trial at Washington and commonly known
as the sb8rroute case.
The most important misSives in the col
lection are those from Gen James A Gar
field and the Hon. Levi p. Morton.
A few excerpts from these letters throw
considerable light on an interesting period
in the political history of the United
States.
Some passages constitute artistic
sketches, depicting in black and white the
character of the authors.
A striking example is the suggestion
which was made by Gen. Garfield that the
people of his peculiar religious faith should
be induced to vote the republican ticket
although they were democrats.
just before the election in Indiana,
which was deemed so important by reason
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-12-29

of it's bearing on the presidential contest,
Garfield wrote as follows:
From twenty-five thousand to thirty
thousand voters of Indiana are members OF
the denomination of disciples, and at least
half of them are democrats. A quiet but
very earnest movement wholly outside the
state committee has been organized, and is
being vigorously and judiciously pushed,
with the strongest probability that at least
two thousand, five hundred changes of vote
in our favor will result.
What an outburst of indignation there
would be if Roman Catholic candidate
for Office were to countenance an appeal
to voters for their support based wholly on
the fact that he and they were members of
the same communion;
Gen. Garfield's letters also reveal an init
macy with the Arkansas senator which
renders it difficult to believe that Mr.. Dor
sey would have been prosecuted with
much "vigor and rigor' if Garfield had
lived
They were in constant and cordial com
munication all through the campaign.
Don't relax your grip anywhere" writes
Gen. Garfield; 81 rely greatly on your calm
equipoise. which has shown itself so often
and so well hitherto" He sends for Sena-
tor Dorsey to come to Mentor for consul
tation. He asks his opinion as TO allowing
our own Evarts to speak in Indiana. After
the election in that state he writes from
Mentor to the famous dispenser of ''soap:',
II especially congratulate You on your
masterful management of the campaign
and the theroughness with which you
have watched all the details and incidents
of the fight. Let me counsel you now to
take some much needed rest and save
yourself for the final struggle soon to
come on. We shall need all our powers
during the last two weeks of the contest;
but just now go to bed and sleep two or
three days, and when you are sufficiently
rested come here and make a VISIT or,
better still, come here and sleep"
Come here and sleepw And yet there
are people who pretend to believe that
James A. Garfield afterward wanted to
send the friend thus addressed to sleep for
months and years in state prison or peni-

AS for the Hon. Levi p. Morton, his
epistles are more pathetic One abstract

case with regard to him. In sending
Dear Mr.. Dorsey check for $1,000 to-
ward campaign expenses he says;

LoGAN's RECORD.
Carmi Courier.

Thousands of good, honest men could be
gathered up in Southern Illinois who could
testify to tie disloyalty of John A. Logan
at the time the war broke out and for
months afterward. One of his pet schemes
was to raise legion of 10000 men and go
South to help the confederates. Another
one was TO have Southern Illinois secede
from the Union. Now, the poor old imbe-
Gle has the cheek to get up before the
United States senate and talk about the
disloyalty of Fitz John Porterl Has Logan
forgotten the time that the late Samuel K.
Casey brought him up standing with war
rant of arrest bearing the signature and
great seal of Gov. RichaFd Yates? He
certainly has not, and he cannot wipe out
the fact though he deny it with every
breath as long as he lives.

MOST, THE SOCIALIST.

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 29.-Herr Johann Most
delivered a most outspoken Socialistic
speech in the northwestern portion of the
city tonight. The only thing to be done,
he said, was to kill. The trouble in the
French revolution, he said, was that when
the people got the upper hand they stop
ped killing. They should have kept on
The people here must kill, must open
banks and stores aud help themselves to
whatever they wanted. Bankers and cap
ftalists must be set to work on the streets
HisSstalk was received with the most up
roarous> applause.

The Hungarisns dance for their

gyrate with the velocity of dirvishes,
until their long black locks stand out
straight, and their faces are ablszs
with heat and excitement. Watch
them as they perform the csardas-

wild harmony OF the czigsuokl
Watch them as they balance them
