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 of late has spoken iu rather enthusias tic terms of Nr.

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 the bond-servant ot the money kings, and that John Sherman is his keeper..
