souri, Pacific company, and was running a
passenger train on one of the Texas divi-
sions of the Pacific. fox which company he
had been laboring for the past eighteen

Sale of Fine Cattle Yesterday.

Capt. Albert Parker, yesterday, had a
sale of cattle, between Green Ridge and
Windsor, on the Michael Doherty farm.
There were fully five hundred people pres
ent and the bidding was very spirited.
About nine hundred and eighty head of
feeding stock was disposed Of in lots of from
nineteen to one hundred and at prices
ranging from $50 to S45 per head. An ex-
celIenl lunch was served on the grounds be-
fore tire sale commenced.
Following is list of the principal pur-
chasers:
Sam Wherry, T. G. Williams, Nj. o.
Green, Geo. Shelton, Geo. Griffin, III. A.
Cagwine, Chas. Harvey, j. w. Guthridge,
Hancock Brown, John Donaway, VIM.
Bolts, Wm. Penice, Frank Suhl, o. g.
Gregg, Mr. Fewell, and David Ewart.
1t was the opinion of the purchasers that
they were paying fancy prices, but those on
the grounds who had cattle to sell thought
that the stock went at very reasonable, not
to say remarkably low figures. The sale
aggregated nearly $4,000.

of the colored man, and he at once told the
story as related above by Mr.. Shobe
Ii was learned that Morgan was in the
employ of Judge Baker, and thinking it
more than likely that it was he instead of
Holden who had committed the rape on
Miss Scott,
MARSHAL SHY AND OFFICERS GOSsAGE
and Jackson were made cognizant of the
circumstances AS related by the negro
Yesterday afternoon the officers procured
carriage and drove out to Judge Bakers,
but found that Morgan was in town, hav.
ing brought in load of corn. They re-
turned 10 the city, but were unable to dis
cover him, and the affair could not receive
the investigation it demanded, although it
probably will to day.
What Morgan's object could have been
in telling such a tale unless there was
something in it, and he was directly i'm
plicated, is certainly mystery. At
the time he related his experience, Consta-
bic Crume, of Hughesville. had not
arrived in Sedalis, and no one here knew
that the young lady
HAD BEEN OUTRAGED.
1t is the opinion of some that Morgan is
not the guilty party, but that Holden is
friend OF his, and he Morgan) is endeav-
oring to attract attention to himself in
order that Holden can make his escape
from the country.
Constable Crume, who brought to Sc
dalia the warrant for Holden's arrest, has
gone to Howard county, but will probably
return to-day or Tomorrow. In the mean
time, it would be a good idea for the Off
Gers 10 take Morgan in charge and let him
explain his story, if it will bear an ex-
PLANTATION.

A High Stopper.

There was housekeeping female at the
depot yesterday morning, and Joe Gossage
is willing to make oath to it. She wanted
to 60 out on the north-bound train, and it
started to move off while she was admiring
Jack Fessler's brass buttons. At last her
attention was called to the fast disappear
ing coaches, and she started on a run after
them. Fessler endeavored to assist her,
but she shook him of, and soon caught up
with the train, when she gave one spring
and landed squarely on the platforms
feat that few, outside of railroad men,
would attempt. Her effort was greeted
with cheers. but she evidently did not APP
preciate the applause, for she quickly
stepped inside and was seen no more

The Census Increased.

Mr.. Gus d. Code, manager of the Ilgen
block billiard parlor, lost every game of
pool he played yesterday. and it was all on
account of the arrival of twelve pound
boy Wednesday night. The happy father
will have steadier nerves to-day, and will
probably knock the ivories about in the
most approved style.
Julius Kolbohn, foreman of the K. & L.
car shops. was the second gentleman who
was scarcely himself. but in this instance it
was the arrival of little daughter, early
yesterday morning, which frustrated the
proud father. There is hopes for steadier
nerves to-day in Julius case also.

Prospects for Corn.

Reports from different counties in West
ern Missouri 60 to show that the corn crop
will fall but little behind that of last wear.
To be sure, in certain sections, the crop is
short and the yield will not be more than
so or 90 per cent. of what it was in 1882
but in others it will overrun. In one or
two counties the yield is estimated at 25
FER cent falling off from last year. Farm
ers, however, are not complaining In the
least, and are already getting ready to put

Later.

Yesterday the BAzoo published exclu-
sively the full particulars of terrible
outrage committed upon Miss Ella Scott,
near fayetteville, this county, on Saturday
night last, by a fiend named David Hol-
den, for whom Officer Barnett now has in
possession a state warrant. 1t was stated
in the article referred to that Holden had
left Hughesviile early Sunday morning,
since which time nothing had been heard
of him. A party of gentlemen were
DISCUSSING THE CRIME
Yesterday, when a BAzoo reporter hap
pened along, and heard one at them re-
mark that Holden formerly worked for
John Kullmer, in his livery stable"
The news gatherer at once called
upon Mr.. Kullmer, who said that
no man named Holden was ever in his en-
ploy, so far as he could remember, but he
had read the BAzoo's publication, and an
interesting sequel could be CLEANED by ap-
plying the reportorial pump to Jake Shobe,
of the Farmers saloon
No time was lost in hunting up Mr..
Shobe, who told the following story, which
seems little strange, to say the least:
Early Monday morning, while a negro
named Lem was opening out the Farmers
saloon, on Usage street, young man named
Orphus Morgan, who formerly worked in
Kul,mer's livery stable in this city, stepped
up TO the bar and
CALLED FOR A DRINK.
He swallowed his liquor, and then told the
cOlored man that h. was trying to get out
of the way, as an officer from Hughssville
was after him. He stated that on Saturday
night last he had been called upon to
take a young lady from the depot in
Hughesville to her home in the country,
and on account of something that occurred
on the trip the officers were in search of
him. He seemed disposed to talk on the
subject, and finally said he had heard it in
timated that the woman was crooked" be-
fore he started on the trip, and acting on
what he had heard he made her a PROPOSE
ton, which she did not decline. He adj
mitted that he had been
CRIMINALLY INTIMATE WITH HER,
but said it was with her consent. The next
day, Sunday he said, he learned that the
woman and her friends had made up their
minds to prefer the charge of rape against
him, and he had skipped out.
Having thus told his story he took his
departure, and no attention was given to
TIE matter until yesterday, when the arti-
Gle in the BAzoo was read In the presence

XII.

It was not long after Garfeld's inaugu-
ration that the talk of the exposure and
prosecution of a gang of conspirators
against the government was heard. Testi-
mony had been presented to Postmaster
General James, and by him referred to
Attorney General MacVeaPh. which it was
thought developed a scandal as great as
the whisky ring. Elaborate preparations
were made to collect. sift and use the
testimony. The new postmaster general
entered into the matter with all his vigor,
and the attorney general was most anxious
to put the accusations in such shape that
they could be laid before a competent
tribunal. When the investigation had
reached such a point as to cause
a good deal Of public comment, the
president was in the midst of his conflict
with the New York stalwarts over the ap-
pointment of Robertson. He had, how
ever, learned that the Investigations threat
ened to involve two men to whom he owed
much, Brady and Dorsey. The president
was not so greatly occupied with the New
York war as not at once to demand of one
of the special counsel of the government
that every scrap of important evidence in
the case should be submitted to him, and
that no steps should be taken of conse-
quence without his knowledge. This spe-
cial counsel was Co.. VIM. A. Cook, and
the apparent inconsistency between his
assertions and those of other counsel of
late more closely identified with the ad-
min1stration is easily reconciled when it is
understood that Garfield said nothing to
these latter about his conferences with
Col. Cook. There was one man in the
cabinet, Blaine, who was excess
lively annoyed about these star
route Investigations. First, because many
of his warmest and closest political and
business friends were threatened; secondly,
because Blaine regarded it as most un-
seemly ingratitude for an administration
that knew as much about the star route
system as Garfield did, to be willing to
take advantage of the opportunities that
system afforded during a canvass, and
then having won partially through its aid,
to turn around and allow it to be put to
embarrassment. McVeagh suspected
Blaine from the first, and not long before
Garfeld's death became satisfied that with
Blaine in the cabinet no successful prose
cution, and, in fact, no indictments were
possible. While the New York fight was
at its hottest point, when Arthur and
Conkling we're in Albany, Blaine suddenly
appeared at the Fifth Avenue hotel. 1t
was said in the press that he had gone to
New York to represent the administration
in that contest. This public announce
ment of his presence in New York was the
first knowledge Garfield had that he was

We now come to an event in the remark
able canvass of 1880 that may have the
light of a congressional investigation
thrown upon it. Early next winter it is
the intention of member of the house to
introduce a resolution reciting that charg-
es have been made affecting the integrity
of the appointment of justice of the
supreme court, and asking that commit
tee of investigation be appointed to ascer-
tain the truth thereof. The following is
statement of the substance of these
charges:
It was reported that some of the Repub-
lican managers in New York discovered,
or thought they discovered, that Jay Gould
had subscribed $4,000 to the Democratic
discovery frightened the leaders. They
had expected large subscription from
Mr.. Gould, but had failed to get it. He
had been distant, and il was thought that
he had believed that Hancock would be
elected. How to get MIR. Gould interest
ed and how to get at his check book we're
problems that seemed insolvable. 1t was
finally determined that some one with
whom he would talk, should 60 and see
him, and ask him point blank what
the matter was, ana WnaC 1nQuC6-
ments could be given him to SUBJ
scribe. When asked if he would contrib
ute to the Republican fund, Mr.. Gould de-
clined peremptorily. When asked why,
he is said to have answered: 81 can have
no interest in an: administration at the
head of which there would be man who,
as leader of the Black Friday Investiga-
tion, denounced me as corrupt man and
compared me to Catiline as corrupter of
the youth of Rome"
That settled the matter at that inter
view. Gould's personal hostility to Gar
field was communicated to the Republi-
can candidate. He expressed great sur
prise that Mr.. Gould should entertain such
feelings. He said that he had no personal
animosity toward Gould, and that in the
report to which Gould referred he had
simply discharged public duty, and one
which Mr.. Gould ought not to blame him
for doing.
Back the Republicans trotted to Mr.,
Gould with Garfeld's reply. 1t seemed,
partially at least, to satisfy him. He said
however, that he had no political party in
terests; all his interests lay in certain
great corporations which were threatened
Daily globe., 1883-07-20

by the recent act of congress known as the
Thurman act, an act whose constitution
atty was to be passed upon by the supreme
court.
When this was repeated to Garfield he
SAID that Mr.. Gould ought to know that
he entertained the same views that Mr..
Gould did respecting the interests of these
corporations, and he wanted Mr.. Gould to
be assured that if elected president, and it
should fall to his lot to nominate mem
Der of the supreme bench, that he would
take great care to appoint a man whose
views in that regard were the same as his
own.
This was taken to Mr.. Gould. He an
nounced himself as entirely satisfied with
it, but he made the gentle suggestion that
1t be put in the form of a pledge and in
writing. This was done, and it Is alleged
that the pledge can be produced, as it is
understood to have been cOEnmitted to the
keeping of gentleman who bold5 it sub
Ject to the order of both parties
Then Mr.. Gould warmed up to the Re-
publican party, Himself and another sub
scribed $150,000,as is expected to be shown
before the investigating committee This
money was taken to Cleveland, Ohio, and
there divided. Part of it was sent to In
diana, and the rest was used in Ohio.
Garfield subsequently nominated the
man to whom this agreement had refer
ence, Stanley Matthews, to the supreme
bench, and Gould telegraphed Senator
Plumb urging him to secure Matthews
confirmation. Matthews was confirmed
by one majority.
Daily globe., 1883-07-20

Early in the winter of 1881 Gen. Garfield
offered to Dorsey place IN his cabinet.
He had not only early decided to appoint
Blaine secretary Of state, but there is good
reason for the suspicion that has been en-
tertained that it was the understanding
that this should be done when Blaine's
vote was transferred to Garfield at Chica-
60. Dorsey knew of this intention, and re-
garded the appointment as one with which
no great fault could be found. Dorsey had
what he believed to be the best of reasons
for believing that Garfield after the
Indiana October convass made up his
mind that he should take Dorsey into his
cabinet if elected. In q recent letter.
written by Dorsey since the star route
trial was ended, he spoke of this offer as
follows: "When the campaign was over
l declined the greatest reward that could
be offered to any citizen by the executive"
But though Dorsey declined this, saying to
the president elect that there was no an
pointive place in the gift of any one
which he would accept, still Garfield hoped
to induce him to reconsider. As late as
February Garfield is reported by Re-
publican politician, who met him at Men
tor, to have told him that he had decided
to appoint ex-senator Dorsey secretary of
the interior. He believed that Dor5ey's
services were such as to entitle him to
that recognition, and he thought the sp-
pointment would be acceptable to all Re-
publicans, and especially to those of the
west. In this conversation Garfield said
that there was no doubt in his mind that
the Republican success in Indiana was due
almost wholly to Dorsey's efforts, and he
added that there was no doubt that the
state was lost until Dorsey went there to
take charge of the canvass in person.
But If Dorsey declined to go into the
cabinet himself, he was free to make fre-
quent and very positive recommendations
respecting the proposed make up of the
cabinet. He believed that his advice was
wanted, and he believed from Garfield's
manner that this advice had great infiu-
ence with him. 1t was Dorsey who learned
early in the winter that Garfield had other
understandings than that with the StaI-
warts at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and that
these would compel him to appoint his
secretary of the treasury from the west.
He had intimated early to Mr.. Morton that
he would be appointed minister to France.
and with this Mr.. Morton had 10 be con-
tent. With Allison's appointment as Sec
retary of the treasury, Dorsey found no
fault, after he was certain that the ap
pointment would not go to New York.
Late in February he received his first init
nation that Garfield expected to carry
out his obligations to the New York stall
warts by appointing Col. James postmas
ter general, and that ne also had in view
the appointment of Wayne MacVeagh as
attorney general, as Pennsylvauia's share
in the rewards, and as an acknowledgment
to Don Cameron. When Dorsey learned
this, lac protested in the most vigorous
English. He asserted that James could
bring the administration no strength; that
his appointment would be far from salts

VIII.

1t was about this time that complaints
were made both to Brady and Dorsey that
Gen. Garfeld's hospitality at Mentor was
being abused, and that the candidate found
himself seriously embarrassed for money.
Garfield represented that it was not right
to expect or to allow the candidate to be
subjected to these burdens. This was Just
what Hayes had done before him, and Don
Cameron sent Hayes a check for hand
some amount to relieve his embarrassment.
Both Brady and Dorsey saw to it that Gar
fields embarrassment was relieved in the
same way, from which favor acknowledge
ments were duly received from the candi
date.
Daily globe., 1883-07-20

Thus through Brady's help large sums
had been raised from the star route con-
tractors. By following the plans of Dor
sey immense sums were secured in New
York. More than two million dollars were
raised IN all for the campaign, and can
vas that had been characterized by con-
stant bargain and sale between the fac
tlons of the party, and between certain
capitalists and the candidate, was brought
to a successful result by means of the ad-
vances obtained. The second campaign
IN Indiana, while not so costly as the first,
was conducted in the same way and was
very expensive, while in New York and
Kings county the same line of argument
was most effectively used.
But discount day had passed, and with
the success of the candidate the contin-
gency of the bargain made it necessary
that there should be payments. During
all of the early part of the winter, when
Garfield was being greatly embarrassed
by the knowledge that it is easier some
times to bargain than to pay, Dorsey was,
to all appearance, one of his most trusted
counsellors. Dorsey's own voluminous
correspondence shows this, and he had
every reason to believe, both from Gar
fields manner, and from his frequent ex
pressions of gratitude, that Gen. Garfield
sincerely desired his advice. An outside
influence stepped in during the
winter, one on which neither Gar
field nor Dorsey had reckoned, and made
1t impossible for Garfield to carry out one
of the agreements. Congress had passed
the funding law, which was to be the basis
OF the profitable refunding operation for
the New York syndicate that had been
agreed on at the Fifth Avenue conference.
There was, however, man at the head of
the treasury department who not only be-
-lieved that the successful candidate for the
presidency had been treacherous to him at
Chicago, but who had also learned of the
Fifth Avenue agreement. This secretary,
Mr.. John Sherman, welded Hayes as he
w1lied, and Hayes, at Sher-
mans demand, vetoed the fund
ing bill. His reasons were re-
garded by many as so fimsy as to lead to
the suspicion that they were not sincere.
But Garfield knew and Dorsey knew that
Sherman had accomplished two purposes
with that veto. He had not only, in meas
ure, got revenge, but he had prevented the
refunding from going into other hands
than those that he had been accustomed to
favor. Sherman's own course in the SEN
ate the next winter, where, with sublime
audacity, he ate his own words respecting
refunding as it was contemplated by the
vetoed act, proved to many senators that
Garfield aud Dorsey were right. However,
Window, under Garfield, reciprocated in
kind by quietly refunding in the treasury
itself, and thus preventing Sherman
from such action respecting refunding
as he contemplated when he should,
as a senator, have something to say
about it. Thus it will be seen that it was
through no fault of Garfeld's that one
agreement was not kept.

away, and he at once summoned Blaine
back to Washington. But Blaine was not
IN New York for the purpose assigned at
all. He was there to protect his friends,
Elklns, Bosler and other star route con-
tractors. He accomplished his mission.
They were never prosecuted, and. until
very recently, the claim OF the govern
ment against them was the subject of ar
bitration.
