Mr.. Stalnaker says that Mr.. Ohley
acknowledged to him by word OF mouth the
receipt OF the letter conveying the delicate
suggestion about free excursions for color
ed voters, accidents TO excursion locomo
tives and that sort of thing. This would
eliminate Houser from this transaction
and, theoretically, acquit him of any trans
action with the Chilton-Stalnaker letter
! This must be perfectly clear even to the
REGISTER IatcliigencCr,
1t is perfectly clear to the REGISTER
that the Fourteenth street Road Agent
cannot slip out of the net, nor shield
HoUsER, by any such falsehood.
Secretary 0HLEY happened to be in
the city yesterday and when questioned
regarding the Inteltigencer's statement
he branded it at once complete false
hood. He stated that he never had re-
ceived the letter from Mr.. STALNAKER
which the I1lteIUgencer published, and
therefore could have made no such
statement to Mr.. STALNAKER.
In attempting to cover up its tracks
the mtelliqencer has made worse mess
than ever of this foul business, adding
deliberate and inexcusable falshood to
its other dirty work.
1t kno VS. that more than one letter on
this subject was written by Mr.. Stall
MAKER. The one in question did not
raoch its dastin.+for
1t was evidently stolen from the
mails.
1t was published in the Iotelttgencer.
There is proof positive that HARRY
HOUsER made practice of stealing Mr..
STALNAKER'S mail, political and per-
Sonal.
VIII any person with his eye.teeth
cut draw any other inference than that
HOUsER was the thief who furnished
the letters which the journalistic
"fence" on Fourteenth street published?
If the InteIligencer has clear con-
science why has it carefully suppressed
the important fact, shown by the ma
terial evidence in his room, that
HoUSER stole Mr.. STALNAKER's mail,
together with private political letters
from other Democrats?
Neighbor, lie well stuck to never
can be as good as the truth in case like
this where the truth is so plain. 1t
would be much better for your material,
moral and spiritual welfare if you would
abandon your old habit of never ack-
the error of your ways. It
is sad, aye, pitiful sight you present
with head, ostrch-like, in the sand
Of falsehood, imagining you are con-
cealed.

Judge Ryan. " the Sixth Iowa dis
trict, made departure which Is attrac-
ting attention. He has prohibited
smoking in his court and ordered that
lawyers keep their feet off the table
while examining witnesses. In most
court rooms smoking is prohibited
during the sessions OF the court. But
when it comes 10 compelling lawyer
TO keep his feet on the floor and his
hands out of his pockets, that is quite
another thing. 1t savors strongly OF
the blue laws. Judge Ryan has started
a revolution. He is in danger Of being
waylaid by the lawyers Of his court ard

Joseph Lenoir, in company with his

tered his place aud proceeded TO order a
meal. When he arose 10 20 Mrs. Lenoir
was acting as cashier. He protfered in
payment of his dinner $40 note and re-
ceived in exchange S. 80. When Mr..
Lenoir returned TO his desk bis wife
handed the note she had received, and
he. upon examining il, found it to be
worthless Confederate bill OF the Rich
mond, Va, issue of 1866.
The man who passed the bill is de-
scribed as being of medium height and
quite thin. He dresses sty!ishly, and
were a dark blue overcoat and SLOUGH
hat. He has small black moustache,
and has the appearance Of being a
Spaniard. As he carries large roll OF
Confederate bills with him, IL is likely
that he will attempt TO impose Hpon
other storeKeepers.

And this brings up another question:
The Wheeling IntelHgencer, during the
campaign, got possession OF and printed
fac similes of two political letters, one
written by Hon. Randolph Stalnaker,
and the other written by ". +. Chiffon,
Chairman Of the Democratic State Tx
ecutive Committee. 1t is now pretty
well settled that Houser stole these let
tiers from the mail, along with d great
many others. Unless the InteltigGncer
disproves any connection with this ras-
cal, and shows whence it received these
stolen personal letters, the people will
be very much disposed to think that
there was collision between the thief
and the receiver of stolen goods.

THE IKnN INDUSTRY.

The Iron Age notes the few failures
during the past year of low prices, snd
insists that 1.-The healthiest state OF
trade is found when prices are on a
comparatively low plane" Instead OF
whiting down wages to meet dull
market, the manufacturer has turned
his attention toincreasing the efficiency
Of labor and machinery so as TO cheaper
production; aad he has found his profit
in it. The Age SAYS:
The day has passed for a manufacturer
10 sharpen his pencil, carefully tabulate ex-
listing elements Of cost, strike grand total
and mOurufully protest that no further re-
auction can possibly be made. That was
done when pig-iron cost $50 per ton in the
sixties, when il cost $50 per ton in the sew
enties, and when it cost SIS per ton in the
eighties: but it is almost lost practice
now, although pig-iron has sold lower this
year than ever before.
And il intimates that II iron should
20 even lower a way would be found TO
meet "the me- assitieS of the situation. I"

its contents. He stated, however, that he

of the Valparaiso mob by the officers of
the Baltimore. "My men, said he,
4thirty-four in number, were attacked at
almost the same moment in half dozen
