The veteran journalist. Col. "A. h. Nc
Clure. publishes some interesting "Recol-
lections of Half Century," in which he
says:
Had Abraham Lincoln lived Jefferson
Davis would never have been captured On
this point / speak advisedly. He knew
the intensely revengeful feeling that per-
vadeo the infiamed sentiment OF the North.
dema nding the arrest and execution OF the
leaders of the rebellion. He knew that they
could not be convicted and executed for
treason after having been recognized as
belligerent power and beleaguered our capt.
tai for nearly four years, and he was reso-
lutely averse TO the punishment or any or
the Southern leaders unless guilty OF VIOLA
ton of the laws of war. L heard the ques-
ton discussed in his presence by seVeral
prominent men a short time before the sur
render of Lee. Among them was General
Butler, who was vehement in demanding
the execution OF traitors Lincoln heard
the discussion IN silence, and he finally
closed ii by a story the moral OF which was
that if Davis and the leaders Of the Con-
federacy escaped from the country I'M
beknown 10 u.s. 1t would be fortunate for
all.
This is partly "Reminiscences and partly
conjecture. 1t may be that Mr. Lincoln
felt as Col. Mcclure says he did regarding
Davis at the time referred to, but it does
not follow that he would have connived at
the latters escape, il he had lived. He
could hardly have prevented Davis's cap
ture without special orders or interference,
and that would have been out of the ques-
ton. The rapid succession of events shows
that the capture was inevitable. Davis left
Richmond on the night of April 2, 1861 for

assassinated. April IA. Davis and his Cabi-
net continued their flight from Greensboro.
n. c., going southwark by extemporizing
conveyances That whole country was then
alive with federal troops. Daviss party
arrived at Charlotte, N c., on the 18th,
left there on the 18th, and was captured at
Irwinsville, Ga, on May 10. 1t is not
likely that the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln
or the reward offered by President Andrew
Johnson for Daviss capture contributed
materially to that event. 1t was an in
evitable outcome of the military situation,
and the sparing of Mr. Lincolns life could
not have prevented 1t. Those who write
"reminiscences should not include guesswork
under that head.

raise anything but corn or wheat provided
they can sell imaginary corn and wheat on
margins so as to get the money Of some
other man who may be Influenced by re-
ports relative to the condition of the crops
Such reports influence those who buy and
sell fiat products upon margins and call it
business. So powerful an influence have
such reports that cliques of regular dealers
can arrange TO have reports sent from the
crop belts TO suit their gambling opera
tions. one day this week the clique bull
ing the price Of corn had all its agents
at work. and the result was that they
worked zealously that something of a
panic was created, sending up the price OF
corn and sending down the price of rail-
road shares. The next day came reports
dscrediting the alarms, followed by re-
ports of quite general showers. The only
persons who gained by such reports were
the experienced SPECTATORS who knew how
to manipulate the markets, They have har-
vested their crop but those who had been
selling corn considerably below so cents lost
their all when they were compelled to set
tie their corn bets at 80 cents bushel.

RECKLESS SPIRIT OF
INDIVIDUAL LICENSE.

The following is a paragraph from
the pastoral letter recently prepared
by the Episcopal general conference
at San Francisco, and commends itself
to the thinkers of the country:
we must bid you note n strive
of our age, the reckless spirit of indi
vidual license, the creature and con-
tradiction of that ideal of personal lib
erty which the church has created n
perpetuated among men. The fool
who saith in his heart there is no God
is quickly to go forward to the natural
coroIlary that there is no human au-
thority or right demanding his recog-
milton and obedience. The man who
derides the revealed foundation of all
ethical obligation is the easy victim
of the devils delusion that self-inter-
est is the sole motive of human action
and self-advancement, the only test OF
moral conduct. And finally the def
ant denial of the God who ordaiheth
finds elimination in the assertion that
there shall be no longer powers Of hui
man government to whom, in superstl-
tious faith obedience has been render
ed and an anarchy is here as the legi-
innate offspring of unbelief. The
crime at Buffalo a month ago, in which
the head of our nation was X
away. was the natural fruit of this tree
of God-denying denial. The great n
good president was slain by the spirit
of our age. We must recognize that
this awful crime, thrice repeated with
in forty years, is the offspring of the
spirit of lawlessness, full grown to ma
turity of malevolence, and that other
children of this same evil spirit are
close about lis on every hand, them
selves the strength Of the family OF
lawlessness, who make possible n
certain these giant monsters whose
deeds of violence have shocked our
souls. The failure of the citizen of a
republican government to do his duty
in the endeavor to elect honest n
true men to the offices Of that govern
ment is the earliest political manifes'
tation of this pernicious life"

WANTED TO PLAY POOL TO PASS
TIME AND DEPUTY SHERIFF
LET HIM.
The Sheriff Took Occasion Of His pris-
oner's Interest In the Game to
Get a Little Lunch and the Pool
Player Embraced the Same OPP
p]ortunity to Get a Little Liberty.

The Guernsey Iron Gazette tells this
good one on a credulous deputy anrr-
If of Nebraska
w. F. Seward drove Deputy Sh-rf
d. Z. Brown to Wheatland late last
Friday night. Mr.. Brown was in
search of one A. Darragh IT Kent.
Neb., who was wanted at Alliance.
Neb., by the B. & NJ. railroad company
for stealing and selling brass bookings
off the company's cars and engines.
The sheriff did not find his mar .:
Wheatland, but he got track of him in
the vicinity of IVA the mex morning
and overlook him just on the other
side of Hartville Junction. when tn"
fellow stopped and inquired OF tn"
sheriff the road to the junction. lie
was told to take the right hand road.
which headed him for Guernsey in
stead of the junction. When the
junk man got within three miles Of
here he stopped and wanted to know if
he wash about there" Brown told
him he thought this was tn" place,
and he got out of Stewards rig and pc.
litely escorted tn" auburn locked gen
tleman to Guernsey, and the sheriff
continued to herd him about town till
he could get requisitiOn papers to
transfer him to the state of Nebraska.
The fellow seemed perfectly peace
able and showed no inclination to ny
the COOP" till Wednesday evening.
During the day he sold his team to
Henry Koch. and later in the after
noon he asked the sheriff if he might
play a few games of pool to pass the
time away. His wish was granted,
aud while the prisoner played he seem
ed to be so interested in the game the
sheriff slipped quietly out of the place
and thought he could eat supper and
get back without the man being any
the wiser. but, alas. when Brown re
turned from supper the game" was ov-
err, the stuff was off, the bird had
flown
Mr.. Brown searched for him all day
yesterday and is out again today, but
at this writing no trace of the slippery
fellow has been found. Mr.. Darragh
will be remembered by Guernsey PEG
pie as the fellow who tried to ship the
diseased horse collars from this place
some three months ago.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT FOR
PURPOSE OF ROBBERY.

Quite a sensation was created at
1880 o'clock Friday evening when John
Kiester made a murderous assault Oh
Fred Reiser the only apparent object
being robbery. says the Buffalo Bulle-
tin. The men had been employed at
the Oliver and Bryant saw mill, and
it seems hat Kiester, had gone broke
while in the city and attempted to Dor
row money from another party, fail
ing in which, and knowing that Reiser
had quite a roll, he prevailed upon him
to accompany him to the Transporta-
ton company's corrals ~ostensibly to
feed the teams, but as subsequent
vents proved robbery was the object.
On arrival at the corrals Kiester
went into the shed where the teams
were, Reiser staying outside. After
some minutes Reiser stepped to the
door and suggested going back to the
hotel when Kiester spoke, and as Rel
ser looked up Kiester struck him on
the head with a heavy p%itchfork,
knocking him down and striking him
twice while he was on the ground.
Rieser managed to get away and
run down town to DR.. Creswelrs Of
flee, where it was discovered that his
skull was fractured. He is. however,
getting along all right and is able to
be around again.
Kiester was arrested and on Mon
day was arraigned before Justice RE
mann, and bound over to the district
court in the sum of $4,000.

city this morning. The other two
companies will accompany the Fort
Russell battalion to that place, max
ing six companies to be stationed
there.
The Fort Duchesne company will
proceed to hat post, as originally in
