what They wanted.

Congressman Warner, OF Ohio, de-
clares, says the New York Sun, that
there are so many things in Dorsey's
story he knows to be true, that he had
to accept it all. He says that Jewell
himself told him that Dorsey's finance
committee had raised an immense sum,
of which he (JewelD knew nothing for
three months. and that they kept him
in ignorance because it was proposed
to spend it in manner which be would
not tolerate.
This is interesting, showing that
Dorsey and Foster were up to their
eyes i'm half million for Ohio and In
diana when Foster WAS writing to the
truly good deacon piously poverty
stricken letters such as ought to come
from those of whom is the kingdom of
heaven-the poor, to wit; and when
the good deacon was writing borrow
ing letters to Jewell.
But it is further interesting. Ex-

Mack Marsden, known in CarOndeiet
HillsborO and elsewhere for theft, arson
and murder, was shot and killed from
behind hedge last Thursday while
driving along the road some two miles
from Antonio, Mo-, in q buggy. Hens
ley, one of the gang, was badly wound
ed at the same time, and he died the
next day. Jefferson county people are
greatly excited and pleased. Marsden
was at one time leader of a gang COM
posed of five besides himself. With
them he kept the people of Jefferson
county in constant fear for life and
property. 1t was scattered after his ar
rest i'm Carondelet, and it is supposed
that with the death of Allen Hensley
not member of the gang now re ,ains.
Hensley made an ante-mortem state
ment to Justice Edinger to the effect
that John Marsden, Jas. Moss and
Thos. Moss were the parties who
assaulted them. They have been ar
rested and taken to Hillsboro, although
there seems to be an alibi in John
case, as the Sheriff of Jeffer-
son county served subpoena upon
him Thursday noon, twenty-five miles
from the scene.

shire, Scotland, on the % day of Janua-
~, ITS; so if he lives to see January

Scott came to America in 1860, ana
settled in Howell county some three
years since. He is n carpenter by trade,
and worked at his trade more than 50
years He has never been married,
and was never sick, except OH two
occasions from taking too much of the

"Twenty-eight years ago,"-says J.
w. Buel, writing to the Missouri Re
publican from Fort Yates, Dakota,
in giving the history of the proprietor
of ''saloon" out in that county,
"Gaton and Stephen w. Dorsey grad
uated in the same class at college and
started West to make their fortune.
They roughed it Cor several months,
but being out of luck, So to speak, they
decided to seperate. Dorsey went South
and rounded himself up as ii Star reuter-,
with all that the term implies. Cation
went North and drifted into Sioux
camp, where he welded an Uncapapa
squaw, but soon tired of her and led to
the altar a Blackfoot squaw. Well,
he too has rounded himself up, and
this is how he makes out his returns:
One squaw, ugly enough to turn coy
ote cross-eyed; thirteen half-breed chill
dren, three shot-guns, a few bottles of
poison and five dogs. This is going
West and growing up with the country,
and it is a true story, without a grain
of exaggeration, too"

Governor Jewell followed that state
| ment with statement that while he
was busy raising money from manu-
factGTers to make the fight on the tar
i'll, this committee of New York bank
ers were raising immense amounts and
spending them improperly
what is the difference between rails
ing money from manufacturers and
spending it in elections to sustain the
tariff and raising money from Jay
Gould's bankers and star rings to
maintain a party that sustains jobber
banking syndicates, Star Route rings,
and protected monopolies, and rail and
telegraph monopolies?
If the tariff has such a firm hold on
the public, why can it not take it's
chances like other policies? Why
should protection have to buy its
way? Mr.. JEWELS squeamishness
about the money raised by Dorsey,
the Star Reuter-, the bankers syndi-
cate, Jay Gould and the rest seems to
be merely professional jealousy that
he was not in with his protection part
of the conspiracy into the big tent. He
did get in and played his part. The
manufacturers money was not idle at
the election.
Some questions arisa here: What did
the bankers want? What did Jay
Gould want? What did the manu-
facturers want?
The Star Reuters wanted new op-
portunities and Immunity; the bank |
ers wanted double interest and premi- |
ums in refunding, just as they had
from Sherman; Gould wanted many |
things-influeDce with the Executive, |
influence on the bench, influence ev-l
erywhere; the manufacturers wanted |
monopoly privileges, great profits, at |
the expense of consumers and laborers. |

While harvesting his oats in July last,
Mr.. G.. A. Loveland, living in Mercer
county, Mo-, found a paper which, upon
being examined, proved to be deed for
so acres of land in Empire township,
Andrew county, Mo-, from Andrew
Mclean and wife to Geo. Maynard. He
advertised the paper in the Mercer
county papers, but, receiving no appli-
cation for it, mailed it to Savannah,
addressed to either Geo. Maynard or
the County Clerk. Mr.. Maynard was
dead, having, with his daughter, been
killed in the d. structiOn of his dwelling
by the cyclone which passed over An
drew county in May last. The County
Clerk, Mr.. Kirtley, therefore opened
the letter, and finding the enclosed
deed, gave it into the hands of his rep
resentatives. The paper had been
caught up by the wind in the wreck
of Mr.. Maynard's house and carried
through the air to the Mercer county
oat-field where it was found. The two
points are nearly 100 miles apart.-Re-

The Neavs of this week had a good
joke in its columns in the interest o:
poor "Crummy" Joe. But Joe, we I'M
derstand, discards all these compli-
ments. In the first place, his real name
is Briggy, and be has no brother or sis
ter now living. He was born in Mon
treal and left there upon the death of
his mother and two sisters. Since that
time he has been in the United States.
This unfortunate man says he has no
brothers editors, nor any a minister in
WiconsIn. In addition, he proposes to
be good Roman Catholic, ana we I'M
derstand he very regularly attends to
all his duties. AS to his finances he
admitsu bill of any denomination would
be very acceptable at any time, but
that it is SO long since he has seen one
he would hardly know it.-Cape Girar-

The mystery Of the Hahn MUIR
der case has at last been cleared up,
in the detection and arrest of one
Doss, who is held for the crime
The evidence as given in the Char
lesion papers goes to show that Doss
and Hahn in their drunken de-
bauchery at the notorious house of
Lou Boggs, quarreled about one of
the fallen inmates and that murder
was the result.
The evidence adduced led to a po-
lice raid on the house. The pro.
prietress, fredericksburg fame and
shame), six women inmates and
six men visitors were captured, ar
raigned and promptly fined. And
now comes the point Of this item
the remarkable scale by which modern
Courts reckon the vaIue Of vartue.
These were the sentences: Fifty
dollars fine and thirty days in Jail
for the principal, thirty dollars and
twenty days for the women, and
ten dollars only (and no jail) for the
men.
Thus it is held to be less than one
third as bad for men as for women
to be guilty Of the same offense.
Some men have strange way of
estimating, both the worth and the
worthlessness of their mothers and
wives, or, perhaps they would rath-
er have us say, other peoples moth
ers and wives. Bad women and
good women are estimated by di-
rectly opposite rules.
A bad woman is punished three
times as severely as a bad man for
the same ofense, while a good wo-
man is paid about one third as
much as good man is paid, for do
ing the same work.
Queer world this, with some
queer men in it

Enterprise VS.. Brains.

The Commercial Gazette has out
stripped all its competitors in the
field of enterprise.
1t now gets pretty much all its
brains and all it's conscience by
telegraph, in the three able SER
mons preached on Sunday in three
quarters of the Globe, and received
by telegraph and published on
Monday morning.
And herein lies its unparalleled
enterprise, in thus fortifying its
moral standing by telegraph.
The editorial staff of this journal
istlc compound put in most of their
time lately inditing nonsense on
the Scott Law and revenue beauties
OF the liquor traffic, evidently for
the special edifcation of weak tenn
perance men and strong whisky
men.
There is absolutely no conscience
at all, moral or political, in all the
Commercial Gazette's editorial stuff
on the temperance questions; but
what oft The great journal has en-
terprise and is able to buy its
brains and conscience, and have
them sent in by lightning! and
this it does in the weekly sermons
Of Beecher, Swing and Sturgeon.

Ohio Politics.

The Republican Convention at
Columbus, last Wednesday, seems
to have been one Of the largest and
most enthusiastic, ever held in the
State.
There is much boasting of the
explicitness of the Temperance
Plank" in the platform, which ap-
proves of the submission of "se-
ries" of amendments, without an
expression in favor of any one of
the "series" proposed.
Now let the Democratic Conven-
ton declare as usual against all
"Sumptuary Laws and in favor
of the sovereign people, and then
it will be "nip and tuck" again as
to which party shall capture the
saloon vote.

Hogs and Goats.

Itseems that the Council in
tends to let hogs and goats run at
large all summer, in order that
they may befoul the streets, gut
tiers, and sidewalks, and destroy as
much property as possible. A la
dy cannot walk the streets without
meeting on every hand a filthy
hog, nor can merchants display
their goods even in their store
doors-Huntingto'e Republican,
We have no particular love or
admiration for the two species OF
domestic economical ornaments
mentioned, but there are other
"hogs" and "goats" authorized,
and cultivated by the Huntington
Council, that often befoul the
streets, cutters and sidewalks more
than the four-legged species named,
and are much more dreaded by the
ladies'. The Council has licensed
a score of these "hog" and "goat"
pens on the principal streets, and
allows the proprietors to turn out
their drunken, swearing. swag-
gering crews every night to fright
en- and drive decent people from
the streets, (Parkersburg Council
ditto.) Not to forget the hogs and
goats mentioned, the exposed peo-
pie would like to hear more vlgor-
Gus protesting against the other
sort.
