NEW YORK, Jsn. ia reply has been
received from General Ceballos asking
that the prisoner, Charles 3. BourtoD,
the Mexican Patti swindler, be held and
saying thatextradition proceedings would
be begun at once. This man has re-
markable record. When he was arrested
ne was entering the office Of q LAWYER
whom he had retained to defend him in
suit brought by several foreign houses
who accused him of having swindled
them out OF large sum OF money in e
speculation concerning some patent that
has no existence. The man is known 20
The European police as Morton, Coster
and Mon gomery in various places. He
declares be Is If + 1giiah birth and OF q
good family. He is highly educated
He graduated from al English
uniVersi y and almost Immediately
got into gambling scrspa.
He dritted TO the continent st the time OF
the Frsnco-Prusslan war, was editor of 9
Partisan paper aud WAS one OF the three
editors who were permitted by the Pruse
sian authorities to leave Paris through
the Intervention of United States Minister
Wsshburne. Then ne conceived the
scheme CT collecting money for the suffer-
ing Prussials. He proceeded to LonOor,
showed forged credentials to the Lord
Mayor and received check for fl0OQ
from that official. Presently the Queen
and Prince of Wales inaugurated sub
scription list. For this he WAS
imprisoned for year. While
in prison he poured oil on his
clothing and set it on FIRE. He was badly
burned, and served the remainder OF his
term in the prison hospital. On his re-
lease he Joined forces with one Kerr, who
conducted q swindling publication which
pretended to give slips" on sporting
events. The pair began swindliBg right
snd left. Finally the Countess de Gou-
cault of a French province, who had lost
ESQ, 600 through the rascals, secured their
exposure and sentence to fifteen years
imprisonment each. Incidentally It was
shown that Scotland Yard detectives were
in with them, ard the force were re-
organized. AS the result Bourton served
half his time and got cut on ticket OF
leave. In 1856 he escaped punishment
for selling fraudulent news in Brussels.
Next he worked the Patti scheme, aud he
was here, when arrested, for The purpose
OF suing bank because it refused to pay

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT oGG Is after the
saloon men of Galveston, and proposes to
know why they do not pay their st.te
licenses as promptly IS they pay the
licenses of the United States. There is
much OF this work going on al over
Texas, and If the Attorney General can
stop it he will do Texas grea. favor.
Where, as in Galveston county and dis
trict, officers are largely and sometimes
wholly beholding to the saloon element
for support st the polls, violations of the
state license lsws are winked at or passed
by unnoticed.

MAGNIFICENT IDIOCY.

The irrepressible Rube CarlIee Of De-
wallis Bluff, Ark, who has heen sloshipg
sroupd that state for some time, has
spilled over into Texas with On extra
edition Of his journal. RUDE captured an
ides, and fearing, evidently: that it would
get away from him and take refuge with
lat bears in the Canebrakes that sur
rounded his ripsrlsn possessions on
classic White river, he concluded to rush
into print before the regular day OF pub
licstion es an "extra." Carllee is q
character. Whatever may be said about
his indulgence in the vice of verbosity no
one can accuse him Of encouraging the
stupidity CT silence. He is heard
from en- all occasions, and his
vsporings counterfeit sense at times
so closely that people read them.
His proposition just now is for the
government to build belt line of rail
road around the United States near the
coast and several trunk lines transverse
~, all to be doubls-tracked and furnished
with modern appliances. He wants a
telegraph system also, costing ten mil
lions, and with the road, the entire cost to

The government is to issue notes and this
money .wculd be legal tender fs. all debts

tempt of Scotch Jamey when he tried to
make shilling worth q sovereign by
merely calling it sc, during his Hateful Irish
campaign, Mr.. Garlic would have Uncle
Sam print piece Of paper called dollar
and expect it to pass current SIS such. BE
seems to forget that Uncle Sam is not
Greenbacker. It Is such senseless rot as
this, from soi-dlssnt economists and
would-be "labor leaders," that disgusts
and disheertens real laboripg men. "The
government" exclaims this John Stuart
Mill of the Arkansas swamps, "should
keep on building railroads wherever they
would pay running expenses and some
times even where they would not" and
all for the purpose OF giving work to the
idle labor of the country. Wealth, hap
piness, prosperity, peace and even lux
ury, according to the fantastic rawlings OF
these "cho1derheeded" Missionaries, can
all be secured to the people by merely
running the government presses on full
time and scattering the issue therefrom
broadcast. It would be really useless to
waste motive power and physical sexer

ness of the country did not need, when
people can be made rich and happy by
