 HARTFORD, Dec. 6.-When Edward Trow- bridge left this city in company with the Portland (Ms.) officer he said his arrest was g mistake and he would return to the city in @ few days. The willy swindler has probably changed his mind, as will be seen by the fol- lowing dispatch from Portland received this afternoon:
 Edward Trowbridge of New York was brought here yosterday by detective, @ charge of pass ing bogus draft here some time ago. h court this morning he was held on 5000 for trial. He was once wealthy society man.

Trip Down the Potomac. President
Harrison made trip down the Potomac on
Saturday last aboard of ire yacht Restless,
and Gu Sunday morning arrived at Leonard
town, where he was greeted with the respect
due his elevated position by the astonishei
citizens. Some amusement was created by
General Bailey, who asked Secretary Halford
to introduce him to the President The re-
quest was complied with and then General
Bailey said: '1've been a candidate for the
presidency several times but somehow or 9th
er I've been knocked out by the opposition
The President at once grasped the situation
and expressed his regrets at the repeated de-
feats which had upset the Generals ambition.
"Now, whenever you get tired of the place, -
continued the General, sIve relieve YOU -
The President said he was tired already.
"Well, | reckon L d better take hold at once. y
said .he General The President told him
that there was no necessity for hurriing in
the matter, and advised him TO wait until be
was regularly elected, and to this the General
after some demur, consented. Leonardtown
will be putting on airs about this trip of a
live President to their ancient burg and will,
we fear, be inclined to turn up her noso at
Port Tobacco. But she must not forget that
the immortal Washington not only received
the hospitality of Port Tobaccoians but on
more than one occasion was sheltered under
the roof of an ancient building which now
stands on High Street.

Republicans not Dissatisfied. j

Republicans not Dissatisfied In
speaking Of the appointment Of Mr.. George A..
Wade to the position in the Treasury held by
Captain WIN. r. Dement,, the Times says, ut
is said to be an unpleasant contemplation for
other hungry Republicans in the county that
AL should receive nominally two Offices for
his services while so many seek in vain for one
small boue.' We did not expect that our
neighbor would make such an allusion for fear
that it might cause unfavorable comment from
those in its own party who would have been
pleased to get bone on which to gnaw dur
ing the past four years. For they remember
with sadness that one editor Of the Times was
two years ago nominated by his party as a
candidate for the Legislature and elected, aud
was afterwards appointed Acting Internal
Revenue Collector from Chief Clerk, to which
position he was appointed by the retiring
Acting Collector That he has also an uncle a
registration officer, a brother until recently in
goyermeat employment in the West, a cousin,
tax collector, his Gther-i1-law Captain De-
ment, inst removed, has been in the treasury
for the past four years, and a sisier-in-law in
the government printing office. And the 9TH
er editor Of the Times for foar years ,has .'.-ld
tie lucrative position of clerk to the commis-
sioners and county treasurer. Our impression
is tnat the giving Of two minor positions to Al
for faithful party services rendered, will not
occasion any dissatisfaction in Rcpnblicaucir-
cles, but we know that the monopozng, as
it were, Of so many good places hy the Times
and its personal relations during the four
years past has caused u vast deal Of grunfh-
ling among The faithful who for the twentv-
four gears previous had worked and waited
for seat at the governmental table, but wait
ed in VAIN, hccmse the appetite Of the Times
for the good things thereon seemed Unsuitable.
Our neighhor should keep shady about dou-
bling up Offices

Sent to the PenItentiary

Sent TO the Penitentiary Fred. Ma
horney, jr., colored youth about IS years Of
age, was sentenced on Friday last to the pen
itentiary tor four years for an assault with in
tent to commit rape on the person of a IL
year old child of Mr. Robert J. Lloyd. There
appeared doubt in the minds of some persons
as to whether the verdict should not have been
guilty of indecent assault, but all who ex-
pressed themselves were grati6ed at the SEN
tence imposed on the prisoner. 1t is timely
warning to the evil inclined that the court
and the people will not submit to have their
girl children assaulted or insulted by deg'ad-
ed and vicious creatures who are but few
degrees removed from the brute.
