CHICAGO GOSSIP.
A Judgment Against Dorsey Recalls
Memories of the Past,

a judgment for few thousand
dollars was obtained against eX-Sena-
tor Steve Dorsey one day this week in
New York by a Chicago board of
trade commission man. 1t was on an
order to buy 100, 900 bushels of corn
The grain was bought, the trade went
against the senator, there was a dis
pute, and it took trial and couple
of lawyers to straighten out the mat
ter The incident recalls the day
when Steve Dorsey was betting big
money in the ups and downs of this
market, before the days of star-route
trials when the Arkansas statesman
never disputed accounts with his
traders In those days there was
Grant crowd in speculation just as
there was a Grant crowd in politics
The ex-president was down in Wall
street every day, betting his money
as he used to fight his soldiers-reck
lessly. Grant in those days thought
himself as big man at stock gambl-
ing or neutrality-suspicious. as Gould,
or Sage, or keene. He played with
the same sized chips as these veterans.
The crowd, or clique, kept one con-
SS1 IL boo.S AbS oIoC1S- DUN
Grant was at the head of it. Grant
& Henore had an Office on Exchange
place. The general made this Office
his headquarters Brady was in the
crowd, and Dorsey and Tom Murphy
and the. late Hugh Hastings Honore
was Chicagoan. a brother-in-law
too, of Col. Fred Grant. He was the
son of the man who built the magnif-
cent Honore block on Dearbone
street, and who was swamped by it in
the real estate panic. Grant s.
Honore bored with big auger for q
while. The members of the Grant
clique traded together When one
was bullish all were buyers; when
one was bearish, they were all sellers.
This was before the general had been
iuveigled into Louisville & Nashville.
The clique used to send enormous
orders to this market. To day it was
Buy million of wheat; to-mor-
row, Sell a million corn" But
Grant was not as good a Spectator as
a fighter Corn wouldn't 'sbulIn in
so and wheat would not decline in
so. Fighting it out on one line
the generals favorite tactics-is q
ruinous method in speculation. The
clique became losers The members
dropped out Then followed the gen
erals losses in Wall street. Finally
the business of the firm of Grant 6
Honore dwindled from its whilom
proportions. Too much attention
had been lavished on the clique. Out
siders had dropped out Then the
general gave I'D speculation. Young
Grant dropped out of the firm. These
things night never have been recall

clique, laid down. on one of his

ssPATCHIE..
FROM MRS. pKRRY's LITTLE POEMS. "

The bell had rung, and school was out,
And from the hall with busy feet
The bows rushed forth with laugh and shout
Ana crowded through the village street,
Like prisoners from the cells broke loose,
Escaping from the calaboose.
Across the street and all alone,
A small boy walk. d with rapid gait,
Like one unknowning and unknown,
With head erect and form 50 straight:
He needed not the crowd that cried,
See 'Patchie on the other side"
wondered much why this should be,
But when looked knew too well;
The noblest of them all was he;
But, sad to think, more sad TO tel.
He from the crowd had been detached
Because his pantaloons were patched
No answering word escaped him there;
Watched him SIS he climbed the hill,
Then thought, Each others burdens bear
And thus the law Of Christ fulfil,
And 50 lined him on the road,
Hoping 70 tighten his sad load.
spoke in loving words, and kind;
He, smiling, looked up IN my face
He had true and noble mind
And answered with manly K race,
my father, sir, has long been dead,
And mother earns our daily bread.
TO school she sends me every day:
do the best there that | can,
And mother says she'll get her pay
When grow up 10 be man;
Kind sir, | hope that shall be
All that my mother wishes me.
They call me Patchie, | don't care,
Said he while passing through the gate;
It's what we are, not what we wear
That makes us good and makes US great!
He touched his cap, and said Good night
whispered, mobile, brave, and right.
1 started ON my homeward way
Not only boys, but men, thought,
Pass by the poor ones every day
Only the rich and grand are sought;
This world SO full Of foolish pride,
Puts "PatChe" on the other side.

THE ELECTORAL COUNTS.
Interesting Facts Recalled to Mind by
Schuyler Colfax.-Details OF Several
Narrow Escapes and Grave Per lis.

The Hon. Schuyler Colfax contrib
utsd to last weeks Congregational
an interesting paper about past cleo
toral counts, from which this extract
is taken. In 1920, in the memorable
days of the Missouri compromise, there
were real, not imaginary, doabts,
whether Missouri, which had sent on
her electoral votes. was actually, at
the time the electors were chosen,
within the Union as state Fortu-
nately her vote did not decide the re
suit And, under Mr.. Clay's celebrat-
ed resolution, the president of the sem
ate was directed by congress to an
nounce that. if Missouri's votes were
counted, Jamss Madison's vote was
such a number, and if not connted, so
many. But that, in either event,
James Madison was elected president
of the United States Although it
was supposed that congress had thus
prevented any excitement, at the
counting over the disputed statues of
Missouri, the joint convention proved
a scene ot great confusion, members
on either side, demanding that its
electoral vote should be counted, or
should not be counted: and the pres
ident of the senate finally making the
official annuciation of the result amid
unseemly interruptions and unparlia-
mentary disorder.
WISCONSIN VOTES syow-BoUSD.
In 1857 the Wisconsin electors, from
a snow blockade, cast their votes on
the day after the one fixed by law.
And, on motion of Mr.. Grundy, fol
lowing the example of Mr.. Clay IN
avoiding decision as to their legal
ity, the president of the senate was
directed, as the Wisconsin votes did
not affect the result, to make the same
hypothetical announcement as in the
Missouri case. But, in spite of this at

BEN wADE's POINT.

When Mr.. Wade, the veteran sena-
tor, who had been elected its presid
ing officer, and therefore presided at
the joint convection, announced, at
the reassembling, that the senate had
declared Gov. Buffers objections not
in order, and that he should perform
his duty as prescribed by the concur
rent resolution, Gen. Butler appealed,
But Mr. Wade refused to entertain
the appeal on the ground that moth
ing was in order EXCEPTION him to
make the official declaration, and Gen
Butler then twice moved that the
senate have leave to retire, speaking
of them as 'interlopers When Mr..
Wade had completed the formal an
nunciatian of the presidential result,
in the words which the concurrent
resolution had instructed him to use,
and the senate was retiring from the
representative hall, Gen Butler offer
ed resolution to the house that the
counting of the vote of Georgia, by
the acting vice president, was gross
act of oppression, and an invasion of
the rights and privileges of the house.
But after three days debate in the
house, although this resolution was
finally modified into one referring
the matter to a selected committee of
inquiry, it was, OH motion of Gen.
Logan, laid on the table by the de
cisive vote of $50 to SIS, and Mr.. Wade
was thus vindicated by the house.

gia, one of the ''revolted" states, had
become entitled to representation in
the two houses of congress was still
undetermined and pending. But as
Der electoral votes, transmitted to
Washington, did not decide the cleo
ton. both houses had agreed in ad-
vance ON a concurrent resolution
copied after Mr.. Clay's of 1920, sub
stituting Georgia for Missouri,
AN EXCITING SCENE.
Although both Breaches of congress
were republican, both presiding of
fieers republican, and the president
to be declared elected Gen. Grant of
the same political faith with the ma
jority of each house, who had agreed
to the joint resolution directing the
very words to be used in the formal
declaration by the president of the
senate thus apparently lnsuring
orderly and harmonious action), the
result was one OF the most exciting
congressional scenes | ever witnessed,
| with violent gesticulations and dan
ger of personal collisions between
senators and representatives, with an
| intensity of passionate feeling that. at
this distance from that exciting hour,
can scarcely be relied.
The Congressional Globe shows
that when the Georgia certificate was
opened, Gen. Butler, then republi
canIrepresentative,from Massachusetts,,
objected to its vote being counted
at all on four specific grounds. And,
although Senator Edmunds made the
point of order that the whole matter
had been settled by the concurrent
resolution, the two houses, under
another joint resolution, separated to
consider Gen. Buffers objection. The
house agreeing with him, decided that
it should not be counted. But the
senate, by close vote, decided that
the president of the joint convention
should dispose of it in the hypotheti-
cal manner prescribed in the concur
rent resolution; that is, if the vote OF
Georgia were counted Gen Grant
had so many votes, and if not count
ed so many, but, in either event, was
elected president.
