Pull Details of tbe Florence Tragedy- j
Vb? Murderer or Sixteen Persons Slur- [
dered In Turn.
[From the Lauderdale r.jies, 6th.]
We give below the facts as we gather them
of tbe hanging ot Tom Clark .and the two
burglars In onr town last night :
THE CRIME.
.1 Tuesday evening, a gentleman of Athens
came to this place and brought lnlormatlon
that, on the night previous, nine houses had
been burglariously entered in the Town of
. Athens, and much valuable property stolen
therefrom. He said that the parties supposed
to have committed the burglary were coming
towards the place, and advised the citizens lo
be on the alert. But no one thought any?
thing ot lt, and all retired as usual. Utile sus?
pecting burglars in our quiet town. During
tho .night, the houses of Judge Alllogton,
James Hancock and B. T. Simpson were en?
tered; gold watches stolen irom the latter
two.
About half-past two o'clock that night two
men were seen on tbe streets driving a sorrel
mare to a buggy. Suspicion was at once fixed
upon these as the guilty parties, and at sun
rise yesterday morning four men Went in pur?
suit. It was ascertained that they had gone
in the direction of Waterloo.
THE CAPTURE
o&he robbers was ede ct ed by Messrs. Wm. E.
Blair, (city marshal,) Wm. Barks, Wm. Joiner
and W. B. Waroon. The robbers had stopped
for dinner, and were about unhitching (tney
were travelling In a fine top buggy drawn by
a Borrel mare) their horse near the residence
of Squire Petty pool, a lew miles below Gravel?
ly Springs: They offered little resistance, but
expressed much surprise as Mr. blair and
others rode up. The marshal demanded their
surrender, and telling them that he Intended
to "go through them like a dose of salts." A
search of their persons discovered nothtug,
but on examining the buggy the pin of a
brefiatpln was observed sticking through the
lining of %e boggy top. The party Immedi?
ately went 'up stairs,1' in the language ol one
of the gallant gentlemen, and lound there
eight watches and handsful of breastpins, Ac.
On opening a drummer's satchel, which was
in the buggy, files, saws and other burglarious
instrumente were found, amongst which waa
a murderous slung shot. At this part of the
?une the countenances ot the robbers fell.
They seemed to give up all thought of es?
cape, and to make up their minds to suffer
the penalty of the !aw (if they could not by
some Ingenious trick manage to break Jail.)
Their arma having been taken, they were
placed la tbe buggy, and, with their captors
before and behind, turned towards Florence.
Just above Gravelly Springs the party was
joined by one ol the many ubiquitous candi
dates now canvassing tbe county, and further
on by the marshal of Athen? aua bis compan?
ion. The prisoners, who were elegantly
dressed, expressed much annoyance at the
heat and dust, seeming not to care much for
anything else. Florence turned out en masse
' as the party rode In town, and much exclte
. mtint prevailed. At night lt culminated in
THB HANGING.
The t ali being insecure, Sheriff Hudson had
summoned eight men, in addition to tue
jailor, to guard the prisoners. About midnight
a great crowd came to the jail and demanded
the keys. The guard refused to give them up
and fired on the mob. It 1B Bald that the tire
was returned. At any rate, the jail doors
were orokenopen and the guard disarmed.
The cells wherein Tom Clark and the robbers
were confined were also broken into and the
three men taken out and carried immediately
to an adjoining square and hanged by tbe neck
until they were dead. The three were sus
pended from a tree which stands In the rear of
? the site of the old Masonic lodge. Io
the morning the citizens found them
there. One was Identified as Tom Clark;
OM was a short, stalwart man, with the
Initials F. R. and a star, in Indian ink, on his J
right arm, and two hearts pierced by an arrow
on his left band; and one is supposed to be
--Gibson. We understand that one of the
robbers directed bis portion o? the three hun?
dred and sixty-five dollars, in money, which
was lound on their persons, to be sent to his
si s ter, Miss Kate Scnilee, of Indianapolis, In- j
diana. The man attempted to escape, was |
shot by some unknown person, recaptured,
and hung with the others. It is the opinion of I
Pr. Hannnm,' who examined the wound, that
death would have resulted from the pistol
shot.? The younger robber marched up boldly
'to the tree and requested the executioners to
hold him np and drop him, instead of drawing ?
> him np. The prayers of Clark were agonizing
and were heard by the citizens living near.
Clark ls said to have killed sixteen men during |
hlaji?e. .
AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
Capt ur? or the Supposed Nathan Mur?
derer-Interview with the Prisoner- |
What Ile Don't Know About the Bal?
timore Bank Robbery.
[Correspondence of me Baltimore Sun.]
WASHINGTON, September 8.
After successfully eludios the vigilance of
detectives and police by the hundreds, who
bave searched in all parte of tills country and
Europe for him, "Billy Forrester," with numer?
ous aliases, who ls charged with the murder of
Be ni am ir. Nathan, the wealthy citizen of New
York, was arrested in tnls elly on Saturday.
His arrest came about in this wise: Informa?
tion was sent to the detective office several
days prior to bis arrest that a suspicions per?
son and a professional burglar was In Wash?
ington. On Saivwduy ?twas reported that a
room in a hotel In the northern part
of the city had been entered and a
gold watch i*>Veo therefrom. The work
of "housing" .ne "cracksman" then began.
He was Known to be in a house on Twelfth
Btreet, where detectives Cooms and McEl
fresh proceeded and took him Into cus?
tody, not dreaming at the time that be' was so
precious a bird. While he was being locked
up In the cell at police headquarters. Detec?
tives McDevltt, Miller and tue chief, of the
force, John Clarvoe, belog present, a consul?
tation was held, when one suggested (hat the
appearance ot the new prisoner, who has
every mark of a professional cracksman, was
similar to thai ot Billy Forrester, the supposed
murderer of Nathan, tsoon his descriptive
list and photograph were hunted up, and
every mark on the man tallied precisely
Chief Clarvoe bad been informed that Billy
Forrester bad a ship picked on his breast with
India ink. The prisoner ' hesitatingly bared
his breast, where the ship could be distinctly
seen; after some talk he acknowledged that
he was Billy Forrester, and that there was big
money offered for him, and asked for a paper
and pencil, with which he wrote a telegram
to New Orleans to one of his pals os follows
Am arrested. Send my clothes to New
York, lo care of Barney Aaron. Bigned
Billy Marshall." Marshall was one of his favor
ite aliases. He further said that he did not lear
to face the charge of belne the Nathan murderer
as he knew nothing of lt whatever, and he
would have surrendered himself to be tried
long since bad lt not been tbat he bas several
imprisonments to serve out, one in the Illi?
nois Penitentiary, from which place he es
caped, for thirteen years, and the others for
shorter periods. He said that the State of
New York- has spent at least forty thousand
dollars in trying to find him, aud he is aware
that there are over thirty thousand dollars In
rewards offered for him. He avers that he
has never lett this country, although he knows
that three detectives are now tn Europe look?
ing tor him. He has been South, and only
arrived In this city one week from Saturday
last. Major Richards, the superintendent of
police, telegraphed, on Saturday, to Superln
tendent KelBO, of the New York police, "We
have Billy Forrester; come on for him." A
telegram was received from Superintendent
Kelso to-day in reply, stating that he would
arrive here to-morrow morning
Forrester ls a Scotchman, about thirty
years of age. and probably the most accom?
plished burglar in the United States, and bas
a particular falling for cracking banks. He
says he knows nothing of the Baltimore bank
robbery, but wished he had bad a band io it. He
read of lt, however, In the papers, has an idea
be knowB whose work lt is from a description
ol ir, but he don't "leak" much lotheaetec
lires on that or any other matters of "busl
ness." A number or persons called to see him
during tbe day, to all of whom he spoke
readily, and appears to be very cheerful, not
having the sllgbest Idea that anything can be
proved on him in the Nathan murder case.
He says he was not In New York for a weok
prior to or after the murder, but at this lime
don't propo 3(? to tell where he was. as lt will
be used against him. He will be sent to New
York to-morrow, after being photographed. I j

The Prospect or the Cotton Crop Getting
Worse and Worse.
QOLDSBORO', September 10.
The Carolina Messenger of to-morrow has
the following: "From the reports we have
received (rom planters for several days past
and lrom personal observation we are forced
to the conclusion that the cotton crop la this
section bas sustained serious Injury. In the
counties of Wayne, Duplln, Johnston. Edge?
combe, Lenoir, Wilson, Greene, Pitt and
Sampson tho drought and rust have damaged
the prospects very much, and the ravages ot
worms In many parts will still further reduce
the crop. We have before us reliable esti?
mates of damages in various portions of the
cotton growing counties, and as far as we
aw capable of judging we consider the pros?
pect at least twenty-five per cent, worse than
was generally anticipated a month cr two
ago."

The New York Sun gives fourteen closely j
printed columns of testimony of Henry Mc?
comb, In the case of Henry 8. McComb vs.
the Credit Mobilier of America, now pending I
in the Supreme Court, eastern district of!
Pennsylvania. The testimony is entirely too
voluminous for our columns, but as the facts
elicited disclose one of the most stupendous
frauds ever perpetrated on the American peo
pie, m which the leading men of the Grant]
administration are bribed accomplices, we
give the following letter to the Sun, Which
sums up in brief compass the lending facts
developed In the evidence :
PHrLA.DBl.PHU, September 3. i
The revelations contained In the sworn lesli-1
mony accompanying this need no explanatory
Introduction. It ls the most damaging exhib?- I
tlon oi official and private vllla?y and cor?
ruption ever laid bare to the gaze ot' the I
world. The Vice President of the United
States, the speaker of the Houso of Represent-1
atives, the chosen candidate of a great party
for the second highest office in the gift cl the
people, the chairman of almost every import
ant committee in the House of Representa
tl ves, all of them are proven, by Irrefutable
evidence, to?iav ? been bribed.
Tue publicase long Known, In a vague sort
of way, that toe Union Pacific Railroad was a
gigantic steal. The subsidies In bonds alone
given in by the government were sufficient to
build and equip the road. Yet, in addition to I
ibis, Congress passed an act allowing the
company to issue first mortgage bonds., and
compelling the government to accept a sec-1
ond mortgage as security tor the millions of I
bouds guaranteed by it. Nor was thin all.
Tens ofmlllioDS of acres of the public domain I
were thrown in as another nice bequest io this J
corporation. The evidence shows Into whose
hands all this plunder fell; how lt enriched al
favored few, who still continue to grow richer
and richer as the valuable lands lying ulong
the line of the road are thrown upon the
market.
A half dozen men, by buying up a Pennsyl
vania corporation known as the Pennsylvania I
Fiscal Agency, and changing its name to the
Credit Mobilier of America, got control of the
Union Pacific Railroad, and made millions
upon millions of dollars In building and
equipping lr. They still control lt, and, I
as Mr. McComb says below, the stocfchold-1
era outside the Credit Mobilier of 'America I
"have not and never will receive a cont of
dividend." The history of the suit which ls ]
the means of giving this exposure to tb? pu-> ]
lie is somewhat curious. It seems that Henry I
S. McComb, who has filed a bill in equity in
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania against
the Credit Mobilier, was one of the original
corporators of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, as well, os one of the favored few
who got Into the inside ring. He was on ac
Live manipulator of both the railroad com?
pany and the Credit Mobilier, and, aa will
be seen by his testimony, he made piles ot
money out of both. But some of bis good I
friends, it seems, were not willing that tie
should have all that rightfully belonged to I
him. He had subscribed for two hundred and
mtv shares ($250,000 worth) of the stock of the
Credit Mobilier or America lor one H. G. Faot, I
:ben of Richmond, Virginia, now of Washing-1
Con, D. C. He gave his draft on Fant to the I
xeasurer of the company lc payment of this j
itock; but Faot failed to honor the draft, and I
,hu? torew the load on McComb. Mr. McC?mb
??new there was a big thing in it. and be had
he cash to spare, so he agreed to take I
Pant's stock. But there was some di ul-1
}uity at the time about an Imperfect power of
morney from Fant, and when that wa? cor-1
reeled the president was out West, and there I
were no certificates signed. Before the presl
lent returned, he bad been deposed by
motlier faction, headed by Ames, and I
;ho stock had become so valuable that
hey determined to cheat McComb out efl
His 'stock. He demanded lt time and I
?gain, but the ?mes fac? lon wmild not let I
aim have it. He then threatened to bring I
mit. This made them tremble and promise I
fair, but never brought them to terms. They I
.xplalned to him that it had been necessary I
co use all of bis two bundred und iii ty shares I
ind a great deal more to keep certain mern-1
jera ot Congress right, and told him that he
iad been benefited thereby and ought to bear i
Dis proportion of the loss. This explanation
warns only to have increased McComb'i de-1
rrm nation to force them to settle with bim. I,
Be had adroitly drawn two letters and several I
verbal statements from Oakes Ames, explain-1
ng how he bad distributed the stock among I
:be prominent members ol Congress, ann I
ie determined lo use this Inlormalion lo I
iring Ames and his faction, who are still con
.rolling the compaoy. to terms. Accordingly, 11
n 1 SOO, he filed his bill In equity In the Sn-1
>reme Court of Pennsylvania. Atter a great
leal of manoeuvring tho counsel tor McComb I
tpplled for an examiner to take testimony In I
he case. A. Wilson Norris, of Philadelphia,
vas appointed, and the testimony ot Mccomb I
tua thus far been taken.
The Tit tomb Revelations.
The Sun, editorially, sums up the evidence
ts follows : I
The lull import of the revelations contained
n the letter lrom our Philadelphia correspon
lent can only be appreciated by a careful I
-eadlog of the testimony of Colonel McComb. I
The main points of this expose are a? fol
ows : . !
The Union Pacific Railroad, of which Mc-1
uomb was one of the corporators, was Incor-1
porated in 1802 by act of Congress. From I
time to time ibis act was amended, until the I
subsidies bestowed on the company in gov-1
arnment bonds amounted lo far more than
the cost of the enterprise, while there was in I
addition a grant of more than thirteen million I
acres of the public lands.
The sworn testimony of Colonel McComb
disclose s, first: That a few capitalists, lu or?
der to obtain control of the vast Bum of money
which was to be realized from franchises of a I
Pennsylvania corporation, known as the
Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency, had changed Its
name to the Credit Mobilier of America. Like
many other concerns chartered by the Penn?
sylvania Legislature, this corporation seems
to have bad authority to do anything lt chose.
Dr. Thomas C. Durant, of this city, seems to
have been the originator ol this scheme, and
to have organized the "inside ring," as
McComb termed lt. Durant, Cornelius 8.
Bushnell, Charles L. Lambert and McComb
took all the stock of this Credit Mobilier, or
the great majority of lt, and Durant was made
president. This was In October, 1864. Durant
was also vice-president of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, and the other gentle
men were Its principal managers. A con
tract had previously been made by Du?
rant with a man named Hoxle to bulid the
first one hundred miles of the road. Hoxle
was, as McComb testifies, a mere figure-head
to represent the "Inside ring" of the stockhold?
ers, to whom all the profits realized from tho
contract were to go. There was danger ol I
Incurring personal liability under tbls arrange
ment. Hence the Ring organized the Credit
Mobilier of America. The Hoxle contract was
transferred to the Credit Mobilier, and thus
the officers and managers of ibe railroad were
enabled to make a contract wilb themselves, I
a9 the officers ot the Credit Mobilier, to build
and equip the road. Under this arrangement
the stockholders of the Credit Mobilier realized
millions of dollars. The dividends during
18GG amounted to two hundred and twenty
per cent. ;
Some time alter the organlgation of the
Credit Mobilier, Oakes Ames and a few other
Boston capitalists were taken in. They were
not willing to allow Durant and his mends
to manage" the concern. They made u fight I
against Durant, and tinnily succeeded In oust?
ing him. McComb seems to have been a
friend of Durant, and he was marked for
prey also. Oakes and Oliver Ames, who are
brothers, were the leading spirits in the Credit
Mobilier in 1867. With their friends they did
pretty much as they pleased for a while.
About this time some additional legislation I
was wanted from Congress. Oakes Ames
was a member of Congress, and managed ihiB I
business. The ring was notmaklnftfnough
to satisfy them out of the b?ndB received
from the government. They wanted an act
passed allowing the Union Pacific Railroad
Company to issue first mortgage bonds, witb
the interest guaranteed by the ' government,
to an amount equal to those Issued by-the
government. But the government held a first
mortgage on the road bed and franchise o?
the company, and this mast be retired and
the government made to accept a second
mortgage. This Ames managed; "but lt re?
quired a liberal distribution of Credit Mobilier
stock to the leading senators and representa
lives In Congress. ?
The following letter from Ames to McComb
shows how he made the distribution:
"WASHINGTON, January 30, 1866.
"?T. S. McComb : DEAR Pin-Yours of the
28th la at baud, encloclng copy or letter from,
or rather to, Mr. Bing. I don't fear any
Investigation here. What some of Durant's
friends may do in New York can't be counted
on with any certainty. You do not under?
stand, by your letter, what I have done and
am to' do with my sales of stock. You say
more to New York. I have placed some with
New York, or have agreed to. You must
remember that it was near lyal I placed, as you
saw on the Hat, In New York, and lhere was
but six or eight M forme to place. I could not
give all they warned, or they might want out
of that. You would not want me to offer Jess
tban one thousand (M) to any one. We al?
lowed Durant to place $58.000 to some three or
lour of his friends or keep it himself. I have
?used this where it will produce most good to us,
I think. i.

ring" was passed by Congress, uTieverybody J
very well knows. An act twice as Iniquitous ]
could have been pulled through when Wilson I
and Patterson in the Senate^and the speaker I
of the II ouse, Mr. Colfax, and Messrs. Blaine, J
Schofield, Keller, Dawes,1 Eliot, Boutwell, ]
Bingham, and Garfield had been bribed, asl
Ames declares they wore* They were the]
most prominent and Influntial men on the j
Republican side ot me Ht*se, Dawes bdbg j
then chairman of the comsMteei $n -"^Tiiff, I
and Schofield chairman of the committee on I
revised and unfinished business. Bontwell was
on the Judiciary committee, Blugham and
Blaine prominent members o? the committee
on military affairs, and Kelley and Garfield
held equally Important positions.
As bad a showing as Ames's list makes for I
the great lights of the Grant party, lt is not as
bad as lt will be when the whole truth ls
known. The Ames list is not complete. It I
will be observed ttint lt does not Include the
name of James Brooks, ol New York, yet Col-1
onel McComb swears that he received fifty
Bhares.
Bul Brooks was not the only one omitted.
We have been informed by one of the legal
gentlemen employed In the cuse of McComb
VP. the Credit Mobilier that Robert C.
Sehende, of Ohio, Benjamin M. Boyer, ol'I
Pennsylvania, in the House? and Pomeroy,
Chandler, Cameron, Nye, Stewart, Sherman,
and Morton In the Senate, also received a
number of shares. McComb has the proof and
will produce lt or compel Mr. Ames,* who all I
along refused to uppear belore ihe examiner I
anu testify, to produce it.
From tue same source we also leurn that J
Ames pursued the following novel course in
bribing some of these men: Hu would first I
hand the member or senator u certnlcate nf I
stock, and-tell him it was a good thing, if I
asked how much money waa required, he
would say, "Not a cent, ut present." Then In I
a few weeks be would again pay a vi?it and
hand the gentleman a check drawn by the I
treasurer of the Credit Mobil UT, and say : I
"Here Is your flrst dividend." This ?rst dlvl-1
dend was sufficient to pay lor the stock at lis I
nominal value. That the dividends were sui-1
ficlent to do this ls shown by the following ex
tract from Colonel McComb's testimony :
"Q. What dividend was declared on the
Cr?ait Mobilier stock after the delivery of the I
Ames contract ? A. My books show that I re-1
celved January 4, 1868, CO per cent. Union
Pacific Railroad stock, 3.1 i per cent. Union
Pacific Railroad stock, 80 per cent. Union
Pacific Railroad bonds. Above dividend was
on 750 shares. February 8,1 got from lt In
dividends 80 shares o? stock of Credit Mobilier.
June 17,1 received 40 per cent, lu Union Pad-1
tlc Railroad stock, with CO per cent. In cash j
on 850 shares. July 3, 1868, 75 per cent, in
stock and 75 per cent, in Uulon Pacific Rail?
road bonds on 850 shares. September 3, 76 I
per cent, in bonds, and 100 per cent. In stock.
December 19. 200 per cent. In stock. In add;-1
lion to this, lhere was 14J per cent. In gold
paid In January, 18C8, Credit Mobilier stock,
and 12 per cent in gold for cash dividends."
The above extract aho gives some Idea of
the real value of the stock Senator Wilson,
Speaker Blane and their associates received. I
But we do not need to enter Into any caleula
Lions to arrive at Its value. Colonel McComb I
on this point swears as follows:
"Q. What was the cash value of this stock I
at the time it was issued? A. It would sell
in the market at $2G0 per share, cash value,
and very little could be had at that-more
buyers than sellers a good deal. I was offered
$500 per share for mine shortly atter that time.
"Q. What has been the highest value reach?
ed by the Credit Mobilier stock? A. I was
offered $600 per share for mine. This was in
1868, long belore this suit began. I refused to
sell at that time. I considered lt worth $1.000
per Bhare, and it would have been readily
worth that, honestly and fairly managed, at
that time."
The pertinent question which these facts
must suggest to all honest and intelligent men
ls, shall these men be continued in office?

of citizens better eutltled to meet in conven?

be expressed la mild terms. The arbitrators
are not all of the same opinion In several
point?, and will deliver papers expressing
their individual views. Some of these papers
are voluminous. The full details of the pro?

SALT LAKE CITV, September 10.
General Morrow returned from the South
Lake laBt night. Th? troops stilt remain at
ihe scene of the Indian troubles in counsel
with the hostile chiefs. In San Pete County
the Indians positively refused to return to
their reservations. They said they had left
because they were starving, and they thought
they might as well be killed by the soldiers.
The agenls they send were liars and thieves.
General Morrow notified them that Uley must
return, promising io give mern food on the
way, and lull enpplles ut the Reservation. The
chief finally consented, but Bald he would re?
turn to the valley if not led. General Morrow
reports a reign of terror in San Pete County.
The people were wholly at the mercy of sav?
ages, and the arrival of the troops was hailed
with tears of joy. If the Indians are now
properly cared for at the Reservation lhere
may be no more trouble. IF NOT WAR MUST

SURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK.-Not one |
of the tire companies of the country emerged with
more henor from the Chicago calamity than did
THE CONTINENTAL FIRE, OF NEW YORK.
Prevl-ms to that event, the Company stood second
to none in all t? e essentials of a first-class instit u
Hon, and never, either before or since, has there
ever been an honestly made insinuation even that
Its conti ut >n, lt* policy, or Hs administration vere

When the news of tko Chicago ore retched New
York, and before knowing how deeply their Com?
pany might be Inte, ea ted therein, thedlrootois
held a meeting, and In tuteen minnies sub -cribed
$600,000 additional capital, and, within the earn
est legal limit of time, the cash was p Jd in. Bad
the stockholders been permitted to do as they
wished, $I.2M,OO? of new capital would have been
promptly paid for, that amount having actually
been subscribed. The scrip accumulations of the
Continental proved a mist trustworthy bulwark,
vf defence In the time of need. They fnlfllltd
their mission admirably, and the resnlt exhibl'ed
la the clearest light the. wisdom of President
Hope's persistent advocacy of a large reserve,
based upon the participation plan. Buttressed by
Its m.mon and a half of extra assets accumulated
by ibis well digested system, and managed by of- J
fleers of the very highest order of underwriting
talent, there could bj for the continental. no such
word as fall.
The Chicago losaes of the Ccntlncnfal were paid

TO THE EDITOR OF Till
CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS: SIR-I WiBh to
publicly Inform my friends and supporters In
Charleston County and elsewhere thar efforts are
being made In certain quarters to foist upon the J
Republicans of ihe Second Congressional Uh tr let,
upon the pretext of Irregularity of my norulua
lion, General William R. Gurney, who ls him elf
actively engaged in this ma. ter. Amern ber cf
the state Executive Committee Is relied upon
to first obtain a decision from the State Executive
Committee adverse to me; this gentleman him?
self having been fairly beaten before the Congres?
sional Convention, wh'ch he has acknowledged;
and secondly, ir be thus succeeds, his candidate
will seek to obtain ihe endorsement of the Ooun-1
ty Conventions in the district, which are to meet
for county purposes, and upon this, relying upon
friends lu certain quarters as to the printing and
distribution of tickets when the election comes
off, he hopes to be sent to Congress from this dis?
trict, notwithstanding 11114 would-be Congress?
man is a candidate on the regular ticket for Elec
toral Honors. 1 have only to say that I have too
much confidence in those gentlemen, whoso duty
lt Is to supervise this entire matter, to suppose for
one moment that they would aid those who
wonld commit so daring an ontrage upon the
people who have unmistakably Indicated their j
preference, la order to serve their personal ends.
1 obtained the nomination for Congress from the j
second Congressional District, and that too
unanimously, by fair and legitimate means, and
wherever I have been since then, I have been
unanimously endorsed, and whenever a free ex?
pression of the people ls allowed I do not fear the
result, though some of my friends say to me,
' Banaler, you cannot fight money successfully."
Upon this subject I have nothing Just now to say
I am, very respectfully,
A. J. RAMBIKR.
P. S -It may ba proper for me to add that
those papers representing our party, and sup?
porting the regular ticket, regard me as the reg?
ular and only nominee from tuts district for Con?

to run at a Presidential elector, and if SJ, how is
the vacancy to be filled ? A.J.B.
