The National Republican, of this
moruiofr, iu un elaborate editoriul,outu
pnres Mr. Hayes to Judas Iscariot.
This may not be directly from the lips
or pea ot Seuator Coukling,' but it is
evidently ot his inspiration. The Re
publican's new manager, A. M. Clapp,
is everywhere considered as a repre
sentative of the distinguished senior
Scnntor from New York. This would
indicate that receut attempts to make
peace between Mcssis. Hayes . and
Conkliog were not successful and are
not expected to be successful. '
The early holiday recess which seems
to be dcoidod on the 15th inst- is
named will prevent the transaction of
much business by. Congress. The Sil
ver Bill comes up to-morrow (Tues
day) iu the Senate, but the debate will
probably last beyond the recess. '
Not much progress on uoy publio
business is luoked for uutil the reus
sctnlling on the 10th of January.
It is unfortunate for those in charge
of the Washington monument, that
popular subscriptions for the work havn
almost entirely ceased. To be sure,
the government a year ugo voted
money enough, or4 nearly enough, to
complete the shaft, but with that ap
propriation came numberless plans for
a modification or the original . desiaD.
The Society, however, has dcoided to
insist upon a continuance of the work
us originally iuteoded, and will oppose
any effort to secure a change.
We have among us a gcuius, one A.
Watson, who has for many yours advo
cated it system of storm signals for th
protection of farmers' crops, of proper
ty on tho banks of rivers and streams,
&c. lie wishes to bring to the protec
tion of theso cl.tsHus of property tho
telegraph system of tho country, the
regular signal service of tho govern
ment, the firing of cannon as a warning
of coming storms, and other uppliunces
of the aga. lie is not after money, but
claims that the inexpensive adoption
ot his ideas would have saved uiauy
millions of dollars iii crop-i and other
valuables during the lato severe storms
in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl
vania. Ono of tho great telegraph
companies offers tbe free use ol its
wires, and it is not unlikely that an
other year may see the plan ol tho en
thusiastic Washiugtouiao on trial.
There is published this morning a
letter of P. B. S. Piochback, Louisi
ana, in which he withdraws from fur'
thcr eoutest for the place of Seuator
from that State. The withdrawal, was
not, of course, neco.s-4ry to the seating
of Senator E us lis, who, besides all the
Democratic voles, will have those of
many lterublicans. But the letter is
of interest in auother way. It dhows
more plainly than anything else has so
tar done, the irreconcilable difference
that exists between two sections of the
Republican party. The letter is very
bitter, exposing the incoosittencies of
Republican Senators who voted against
him and the? voted to admit Kello.i'.
It is thought that if tbe administra
tion, as is now said, desire to preserve
peace with Mexico.it can most eiT -dually
do -so by recognizing tbe Diaz
Government, ni to giving it tbe in
creased strength and stability ticceiry
to enab's it to rcpresa lawless Mexi
cans and IudiaDS on the border. Per
haps a statement of tbe Xa'ial Uni
on that IX i would tooa bl recogniied
ha some cScial sanction.
Doan Piatt's .SVn'fijr Cr)"J-t?,wlicL

A MAN OF A.TIi:.
A' Nuispei4l WriaMller Arroejletl
in i.iihi aouis , , , t
TUnder the above cnrtioni the St,
Louis Times of recent date, has, an ar
ticle showing up tire nntecedants and
character of the man Cone, whose
swiudle of a lady we published in our
last. Believiug our readers will be iu
terested in the recital, we copy most of
the Times' article below. It was sent
us with other papers bearing on the
ease by the lady referred to. Ed.Fbee
Piiess.
. About a week ago Honry McDer
mott, ooa of the East St. Louis police
officers, observed a suspicious looking
customer walking about the city, and
reportod tho fact to Chief Walsh, who
gave him instruitions to keep his eyes
open and see what the stranger's
"racket" was. McDerraott did so, but
the man probably got alarmed, and left
town on last Tuesday eveniug. Tester
day he reappenrod at the llclay Dopot(
whero McDerinott saw him." He in
turn s iw the offiuer find afc once wade
tracks up Missouri avenue, MoDeimott
following him. TIo dodged in among
a lot of one-story framo shanties, and
Mo. lost sight ot him. omo time af
terward Mo. saw hi iii' on tho railroad
track, going toward, Veuice, he having
taken a circuitous route to reach the
track. . ri . . i.
m'dekmott gave chasb
immediately," and. after following him
for about a mile, tbe fellow took to the
woods betwoen the track and the river.
McDermott followed his trail, although
he was lost to sight, and dually found
him lying on tho ground among some
thick, hiuh weeds. At first Tio did not
propose to give himself up, but when
Mc. pulled out his "persuader, cocked
it, and drew a bead on him, he aoled
just like the noon did to Davy CrockeH
and came down
On arriving at the station-house,
Chief Walsh hud him searched, and on
his persou found a number of letters
itnJ communications, all of which went
to show that his name was either John
0. Ward, John S. Clements, John
Williams, W. K. Cono or J. II. Bos
worth, but he refused to say which
name rightfully belonged to him, or to
give his residence.' ' 1
BEATING HOTELS. ' '
It was also discovered that he had
been sioppiug on this side ol tlie river,
at Barnum's Hotel, Second and Wal
nut, and the Star Lodging Ilouse.Sixth
and Market, under the name of John
Williams, at llurat's by the name of
John U. Ward, and at the Liudell by
the nam-j ot John S. Clemonts, at all of
which houses, it is reported, ho failed
to settle tor accommodations .ho had
received. ' ',
Ou his person were also found six
bonds ol the Kansas City aud San Ju
an GolJ and Silver Mining Company,
representing, in the aggregate, $12,500.
The bonds wcro numbered .1C1, IG2,
2(51', 2ili, iCl aud 2iJ5.
There were also found upon bim Un
Missouri Enrolled Militia warrants,
numbered 8207, 8180, 8100, 8178,8212,
7070, 7Co-2, 8474, 821U all for, 1C.3),
and all ot them beinz for members of
tbe 17th liegiment. The names of the
different men are iudored on the back,
but all in the same handwriting.
There was also found oo him ao or
der to the Sur Lodging Hot to de
liver his trunk to the Su Louis Trans
fer Company. This, however, the pro
prietor declined to honor, there being
ao unpaid balance due for room reuL
THE IXSAXITr VODOZ.
After being locked up the man with
the many names awamel the ro!e of
insanity, wbicb le carried ont very well
till late last eveninr, when Chief Walsh
got to talking to bint about eone trifl
ing tLitters, vfcea be forgot bis charac
ter and convened as rational aa any
one.
The Chief tct 01 -er B?a Gd'ie to
St. Louis to investigate matters, but
all that could bo learned was that the
man had been engaged in boating ho
tels for some time The rofusal of tho
Star Lodging House proprietor to let
the trunk be Uken to East St, Louis,
precluded the examination of Its con
tents by Chief Walsh for further proof
of the guilt of the prisoner.
At a subsequent investigation of tho
papers found on the arrested man, two
warranty deeds were discovered for
tracts of land in Missouri and Illinois.
One of them was a conveyance by John
Black to James T. Ward, and the other
by Jus. S. Ward to B. F. Alien.
ADDITIONAL POINTS. " '
' While the man has been in Eas St.
Louis he has made his headquarters at
the Green Tree Hotel, on Broadway,
where ho has beoo seen jn company
with a woman, with whom, it is said,
he made arrangements for a purohaso
or trade of property. . ,, ...
From other papers , oun d on bim, it
was evident that ho had, at one time,
been oooneotcd, in some oapaoity, wit'.
the Valley Gazette, published at Lovil
lia, Monroe County. Iowa, and Chief
Walsh therefore wrote and sent a let-"
tor to that point last night, giving a
Jpanrintirtn of t.lifl man. )''.'' ;
,The prisoner is about thirty-five
yoars of age, of cadaverous appearance,
five feet eight inohos high, dark hair
and eyes, chip, whiskers and clothed in
a new gray suit of rather light rnateri-'
al, and a soft blaok hot.
Altogether it is a strange case, with,
everything pointing to the prisoner as
a confidence man aud a swindler.
Henwlble Word by nn KmlnenS ;
Colored Mutt.
Fred Douglass Bays : " The best,
thing the white people can do for us in
to stop doing for us, and leave us to do
for ourselves. I have told tbe politi
cians bo everywhere. They havo done ,
so muob for us that they have nearly
undone us. It we oan-'t live honestly
by our own labor, then we ought to die.
The question with us is, will we work
as hard for ourselves as we once did
for our masters ? If we don't we shall
go to the wall, for liberty is as essen
tially a state of hard work as slavery
is of disgraceful sloth. It is only by'
hard labor that we can over catch up
with the white raco, and by imitatiog "
their virtues instead ot their vices.
Emigration is a delusion and a sham.
The white race is everywhere on tho
face ot the globe, and we could not get
away from them it we would." :'
Mr. Haves Dlainlv shows that ho is
