Wrong
The October election r.f 18GS was
one of uuiibual ititcrtst in Indiana. It
was geucral'y conceded that the result
of the contest would be eloe, and so it
proved to be, the Republican candidate
.'or Governor only receiving a little over
uine hundred majority. Ou the vote
for Congressmen, tho Democrats ob
tained a majority in the State of 0,
012. In the fourth district Wilson,
Republican, was elected by four votes.
At this time I resided at Osceola, a
small village e'fcx miles from Elkhart.
The latter was then a thriving business
town, about the eize of the former vil
lage of Kingston. It was also a railroad
junction, and the largest place in the
county, consequently it possessed great
er telegraphic facilities than any other
place within a radius of twenty miles.
Being Bomewhat anxious to learn the
result that evening, 1 saddled my horse,
pfter the polls had been closed, and rode
over to Elkhart. On arriving there, I
iound an excited crowd sui rounding
the telegraph office, commenting on the"
returns which had just begun to come
in. There were three candidates run
ning for Congress in -this district, which
fact was undoubtedly the cause of the
jjproar.
I waited until 1 o'clock in the morn
ing, and the figures obtained up to that
time on the vote for Governor were to
nearly equal that it was evident the of
ficial returns pnly wqu14 tell the tale".
There was just enough light to make
darkness visible wheu I started for
Itome. While on the road " 1 fell
among thieves." I stopped at a little
country tavern in the woods abqut two
piles out, to get a cigar; for when a
person is as hungry as I was just then,
nothing except a good square meal will
allay hunger like a cigar. Even af that
late hour the bar room was filled with a
eet of noisy roughs, and liquor was being
dealt out to them with an unstinted
liand. I entered, leaving my horse
standing with several others in front of
the tavern.
The cigar was purchased and lit, and
I started to go, when the proprietor of
the " shebang," seeing that 1 had just
come from Elkhart, asked me who was
elected Governor according to the latest
dispatches. I replied that the result
was yet in doubt, when suddenly a thick
fret, raaeally looking fellow stepped up,
- o, and informed
me, in no very choice language, that I
lied. After picking himself up from
the floor, he drew Jrom one of his boots
an enlarged addition of an Arkansas
toothpick, and then this benighted
Iloosier " went for" mo. As ho had a
41 flush hand," I thought 4 discretion
the better part of valor," and passed
out of the door.
Hurriedly mounting my horse, I
Ktartcd off for home oil a gallop, bt ntt
a moment too soon, for tho bloodthirsty
mancarver threw himself on another
horse aud immediately pursued. A
stern chase is proverbially a long chase,
and in a very few minutes I fonnd I
wa3 gradually gaining. While leaning
over the neck of my pony, to keep from
being brushed ofi my sent by project
ing branches, I passed a small clearing,
where it was not quite so dark, and was
astonished to find that circumstances
had made me a horse thief. The ani
mal on which I as riding had a white
face, while, iny own pony, which was
probably carrying my pursuer. ws a
splendid sorrel.
However, I had made an excellent
trade, and although the half crazy de
mon behind me n-cd his Howie knife
in place ot a spur to urge on his beast,
he gained but little. I tiow discovered
two pistols in the holsters on either side
of the saddle, ;md quickly drawing
them out, fired twice at the ruffian, who
was only aoout fifty yards behind. Ow
ing to the darkne-s, neither shot had
any effect, except, to bring out a whole
broadside of useless profanity, aud we
stdl rod.e at the top of our pecd.
lu a little while vc were out of the
woods, but it came near being in my
ease out of the frying-pan into the
fire." Jual as I uatne to a turn in the
road on the outskirts of the forest, from
behind a low stone w.ll, directly in
Irunt. rose the bcarcelv distinguished
tonus of four men with lire -units. They
immediately " drew bead" on me. 1
thought I would have to "go under',
but endjavorrd to da.h pat, leaning
over i la Couanehe,ns touch as possible.
A gentleman who was saved from
drowning, after going down fur the third
time, once told tne th.it, in the few ee
utit's occupied in swikintr, all the more
prominent deeds of his life passed in
quick (succession lefore his mind.
At that moment I also seemed to be
looking into the mirror of tlui past, yet
I did not lose my sell posession. The
very ucxt in tint (it seemed at least
five minutes to mej one of the myfctert
ous four called out, 44 Don't tire! It's
Jim! Don't you know that horse?
Some one's a Iter hint." 1 saw that it
was too d.nk for him to discover my
identity, he recognized the horse, and
supposed the rider was hi- comrade.
So imitating the Iloosier's coarse voice
us well as I could, 1 grunted, 44 Stop
that ft How behind!" aud rode on as
fast as possible, nt desitous of waiting
for the denouement wh eh I knew must
soon take place, All thi happened in
otio-tcuth of the time 1 have taken to
relate. It was a lucky mistake for me,
for iu another moment t heard the re
port of several rifles, but as no bullets
whistled in my neighborhood I rightly
conjectured that the cold lead had been
administered to Jim. A snarling yell
soon announced that this 44 Tragedy of
Errors," had been discovered, but no
further pursuit was made.
When I reached Osceola, I put
44 white face" in the stable, and went
to bed. lieing a little excited over my
peculiar horse trade, I was of course
visited with a night mare. In the
morning, I called at the office of the near
est Justice, and stated the facts of the
case as I have related them.
Before niuc o'clock a large party
visited the scene of the shooting. My
poor pony was found dead, having evi
dently been killed outright, aud a pro
fusion of blood on the leaves at tho side
of the road left no doubt that Jim had
been severely wounded. The entire
gang had disappeared, no one could tell
whither, carrying their disabled 44 pal"
with them.
They had been well and unfavorably
known in Pulaski and Cass counties as
unmitigated scoundrels; cutthroats of
the first water. They lived much in
the same style as the celcbrattd Lowry
gang in North Carolina. They had
but lately changed their base of opera
tions having lost one of their number
in an unsuccessful night attack on a
stage poaph, which event made matters
unpleasantly warm in that region for
44 road agents."
Ab noqe pf tle gapg was afterward
heard from, I kppt the 44 wrong horee"
as a trophv. The pistols are in the ol
fico of the Sheriff of St. Joseph county,
where Jim or any of his murderaqs
crew may identify and claim them it
they think it expedient. I

The 44 World" on Greeley
The New York World of May 15th,
is particularly savage on Greeley. It
has a long editorial on the election
prospects, io which it says : 'f It would
be contrary to all precedents for the
Democratic party to adopt 31 r. Greeley
as its candidate in unreflecting haste,
without inquiry iuto his strength or fit
tie4. If we indorse him, it roust be
intelligently, not blindly. (The only
reason for nominating Greeley is the
Republican re-in force me nt he is expeet
ed to bring to the Democratic party.
He could not get a single vote in our
convention if it were understood that
he would join us alone without a strong
body of Republican followers. It i a
match whose only recommendation is
the expected marriage portion. If it
should appear on examination that it is
in fact a mere seductive fiction, the
proposed nuptial would certainly be
broken off, for no Democrat even affects
to regard it otherwise than as a mar
riage of interest and not of inclination
Greeley Us the very antithesis of a
Democrat. He has strenuously fought
the Ueiaacratic party all his life. There
is no one q ucstioo, cither of principle
or policy, ou which he agrees with us,
except the transient question of am
nesty. By nominating him1 we would
stultify ourselves as Free-traders stub
tify ourselves as opponents to the pa
ternal theory of government stultify
ourselves as champions of State Hights
stultify ourselves as antagonists of
the Ku Klux law, the odious bayonet
election law, martial law in the South
ern States, and the whole series ot sub
jogating measures, which Greeley has
championed aud the Democratic party
has unanimously opposed withiu the
last two or three years. j
44 Wo do not believe he can control
or even divide the nejrro vote of the
South. Within the last few days we
have had an opportunity ot j conversing
with intelligent Southern J meu axtti
Northern men who have recently
returned from the South, and
they all concur in the opinion that the
blacks will go solid for Grant Thi is
intrinsically probable enough, and is
confirmed by the fact thot Fred Doug
las and all the captivating colored ora
tors are committed to Grant, and ready
to stump the South in his favor. Most
of the blacks are organized! into politi
cal leagues or association, which have
long been under the control of Grant's
friends. We do not believe that Mr.
Greeley can make any impression on
the ucgro vote. A good j Democratic
candidate would probably receive more
white Southern votes than Mr. Greeley
44 In the next place. Greeley has no
strong running qualities as a Republi
can candidate in the North, lie is
popular, hut it is not the kind of popu
larity that coutrois votes. jWe may be
mistaken, but, at any rate this seems to
be the estimate which has always been
put upon him by his Republican associ
ates. Mr. Greeley has never shown any
disinclination to be a candidate for
clcctivo offices, but the Republican party
has seldom had suflicientj trust in his
popular strength to make him a candi
date."
The World then cites
stances in which Greeley
several in
run behind
his ticket, and closes the article as fol
lows : !
; 44 The expediency of nominating Mr.
Greeley, self-respect, principles, and
political consistency apart, depends
upon this simplo consideration, whether
more Republican votes will be gained
than Democratic votes ropellcd. There
are Democrats who will not vote fur
him in an event, not even under the
constraint of the Baltimore nomination,
if he should get it. The Irish religious
influence will never be reconciled to
him ; more important than all, multi
tudes of Democrats who prefer princi
pies to expediency have already made
up their minds to bolt the Baltimore
ticket if the convention nominates him.
With our present data for forecasting
the situation, we have no doubt that
Greeley's nomination at Baltimore would
drive away two Democrats for every
Republican that will follow Mr, Greeley
into a Democratic alliance."
" Well David," said a poor but worthy
citizen, to one of the City Hall mag
nates, 44 the world has prospered with
you, and they 'gay you are immensly
rich."
44 Well, replied David, " perhaps it
ia true ; but we cannot take our gold
with us when we go."
44 It would melt if you did." was the
riuicK retort.
Greeley agree to support tho Demo
cratic nominee for Governor of .New
York. !
The Itobesou Investigation.
From the Philadelphia Prea.
Mr. Robeon's bearing throughout
this protracted investigation was admir
able. He appeared as his own volun
tary attorney, and did not, as is the cus
tom, appoint another to represent him
Wo recollect no example like it, and
certainly none in which on assailed of
ficer has shown moreeooluess, courage,
steadiness and perseverance. Oppressed
bjthe daily cares of his office, he. at
ktided for hour, night after hrg4tt;
examining every witness, controverted
every charge, and we feel assured will
be sustaiucd by the majority of thp
committee, as he must be by every fair
minded man of every party.
And now we trust we have had an
end to iuvestigati jus. Here have been
ten or twelve committed mousing,
smelling; questioning, quarrelling,
which have been at work for mouths
and months, aud what conspicuous,
striking, tangible fact lias been proved
showing fraud or incapacity on the part
of President Grant aud his Cabinet?
Certainly, if there were frauds, astound,
ing, gigantic, palpable, inconceivable,
as wo have beau told time and again,
the evidence would have been produced
long before this time. As it is, Geo.
Grant's administration grows whiter and
whiter with cverv investigation.
Tho fact that the investigation has!
proceeded agaiust Secretary Robeson is
our first source of congratulation. There
is a higher t-ource in the circumstance
that the evidence shows a perfect ex
oneration of the Secretary from the
charges against him, as well as the
possession on his part of unusual ad
ministrative qualities. There ia not
only do evidence upon which to im
peach Mr. Robeson's iutegrity, but
nothing t justify suspicion. And the
examination finally dissolved into piti
ful questions and answers as to how
much Mr. Robeson was worth and
whether he lived beyoud his income,
and did he really send bricks to San
Francisco by way of Cape Horn. Who
rcallv cares how much Mr. Robeson is
worth ? Because a man u Cabinet
Minister, must he become a social out
law ? Is it not rather a presumption
that the elevation to high office indicates
apparent qualities of honesty, capacity
and experience? It would be the worst
cou.tnentary possible upon our iu-titu-tions
if the appointment of a man such
as Mr. Dana has described Mr. Robeson
to be were in anyway probable. We
may look back with pride upon the
whole array of Cabinet officers who have
served since the time of Washington,
and find few instances where the incum
bent was not a man of honor aud capac
ity. We dwell upon the fact as a cir
cumstance doing credit to our institu
tions. The examples of those who
served the State in positions of trust
and honor, are many. Most of our pub
lic men retired from office poor, nnd
only a few years have passed since a
great War .Minister, who had controlled
the expenditures of thousands of mil
lions of dollars, died in a condition of
poverty, actually spending in the public
service the income he had amassed at
the bar. We dare not think that pub
lic virtue and self denial have passed
from our statesmen when we remember
how Stanton and Rawlins lived aud
died.
Gone. The following dispatch in
forms us that James Gordon Bennett,
Senior, founder of the New York
Herald has gone to his rest. He left
a large property, which, by his will, is
bequeathed as follows:
New York, June il. James Gordon
Rennet died of old age. His lower
limbs were paralyzed for several months,
and he was fully impressed with the
idea that he could not long survive.
His estate is said to be about 810,000,
000 tho Herald with buildings and
real estate connected with it he leaves
to his son, and in his will ho provides
that he is never to sell it, but it must
remain in the family. His Fifth Ave
nue mansion ho leaves to his wife, and
his Washington Heights property to his
daughter Jean nctte.
A Washington special of June 3d,says
out of the delegates at largo elected to
tho Raltimore Convention from Penn
sylvania eight are in favor of endorsing
Greeley. Tho delegation is led by Con
