WHOLESALE KIDNAPPING.
Mysterious Disappearance t CbHdra
la Cbleatj,
Tlit Chicago Repub'icanol Monday last says:
'For over a jcar there ha not passed a smgls
week in which sonic foud mother who has
Tainly waited and watched with strained heart
airings for the return ot her little darling who
ba suddenly and without warning been spirited
away irom her forever. The anxious search
ing of flic Btricken father has In many case
ruct with bet poor success, and the desolation
that has thus settled don upon their once
happy homes Is rarely removed. But the iu
cvltable sriudiug of "the mills ol the godi" still
goes on, and retribution, sooner or later, a mero
question of time, is sure to overtake the evil
doer. Events which have very lately transpired
in our city give proiniso that the mystery or
these fearlul disappearances is at last to be un
veiled. One week ago to-day a family residing near
the outskirts of Chicago were returning to
their homes from church. It was about 5
o'clock iu the atternoun, ana me miner una
mother wrro walking leisurely along, while
their boy, an unusunlly intelligent lad of too
years, stragpled a little way ahead. Toe
parents bad pasted West Twelfth street, when
they discovered for the first time that their boy
was missing, and though iutormation wai at
once given to the police, aud every exertion
passible put forth for bis recovery, no tidings
wa4 received of the misbiug child until last
Friday evening, when he walked Into bis home
as unconcerueuly as though he had been gone
but an hour.
The story which he ihen unfolded was of
a strau'jeiy peculiar charactT, and the
many l'lculents he had to relate concerniug his
absence would fill the pages ot a tirst-class
novel, and cuu be touched upon but bilctly at
the present time. ,
lie slates that on the evening In question be
lad jus-t turccd a corner, hiding him lrom his
pareuts, wLen a laree man, drivlug a conmon
business wagon, (-lopped neur the sidewalk, aud
eruipiughiui around the waUt, threw him Into
the vehicle, and having covered him with a
broad, thick cloth, drove rapidly away. The
boy bhvb that the man Iniiinidutcd hltn by re
peated" threats of killing him in case ho should
cry out or make the least noise.
According to the statetneut of tho lad they
drove all ninht, and about six the next morning
arrived at a large double house, with a heavy
stone basement, into which he was at once con
ducted, lie says that he was shown Into a spi
cious room, in which were some sixteen boys
nd girls, most of whom were youuger than
himself. A colored woman with a child was
also in the apartment, and she, as well as all the
other Inmates of the apartment, had her mouth
firmly covered with a email plaster.
The object ol the strange muzzling seems to
have bet n to prevent them making such noise
hs would alarm tho neiebborbood; for three
times a day a wgmau came down fiom tne upper
part of the house, and with the aid of warm
water, removed the piaster from the prisoners'
mouths, allow ins them to feed one at a time.
No harm was otlered him. or, as he saw, to any
of the rest. Tho youth said that he stood that
eort of thing as lonir as be could, and last Sunday
lnoru-.iiu determined to suil't, a little tor himself.
Awakening at about 3 o'clock he continued to
break through tbe bash of one of the windows
without alarming the iumates of the house,
and thus escaped into the yard. This he found
surrounded by a high board fence, nud well
fhaded with fine trees. Climbing one of these,
he saw that he was not fur lrom a r.iilroad, and,
having descended, he scaled the fence aud
waited outside the enclosure until, an early
traiu passing, he was taken aboard, aud con
veyed to this city. The plaster was removed
from his face by one of the brakesmen, and he
was thus enabled to return to his home in a
presentable manner. The affair rests here at
present, but Deputy Superintendent Sherman,
With his accustomed energy and perseverance,
Is on the track of the auiliy parties. He has
alo detailed two experienced detectives who
will spare no pains to ferret out all the deUUs
of this strtmt'tly Incomprehensible oilair. The
lad is in their charge, and tlioy have pone with
him to the country, following the railroad by
which he returned to town.
BOB BURY.
S12,000 Stole from tba East Fraaclsco
Hiat.
The Alia Ca'ifornian of July 17, says:
Some five or six months since another defal"
cation or swindle was discovered in the sub"
treasury departmeni at the mint in this city
It was found that the Government had Ioj1
some $12,000 by an iueenious system of fraud
An outside broker would buy "low bars," that
Is to say, bars of low grade gold, say six hun
dred or seven hundred fine, and deposit then in
the mint for coinage. The computing clerk in
the sub-treasurer's office would then make his
returns on the bars at a higher grade, sy eight
hundred and upwards, aud by collusion with
other parties, as is supposed, certificates of assay
representing considerable more than the
actual amouot deposited would be issued to the
broker, and by him sold.
To do this quite a cemplicated system of alte
rations aud false entries was required, but the
cause of the deficit was well covered up lor a
long time. The broker aud Mr. Sill, the com
puting clerk, were indicted, and tho latter,
leaving his bondsmen In the lurch, left for the
East. Marshal Hand followed him East, but the
fugitive doubled on him and returned here some
two weeks since. Yesterday It was ascertained
that he was concealed in this city, and Deputy
Marshal Worth, Captain Lees, and Detective
Fuller found him at the Vernon House and ar
rested him. The thai will probably now take
place immediately.

Tho Louisville Courier of Mouday lat says-
A terrible accident occurrd at the great Demo
cratic festival at Big Springs, four wilei east of
Jetfersonvllle, yesterday morning, about half
past 10 o'clock, and just belore the arrival of
Governor Branilette upon the ground, a ix-
f ounder had been placed in a coininiindinq posl
ion on one of the steep hills overlooking the
beautiful glen, where the speakers' stnnd had
been erected, and was booming a thundering
welcome to the crowd who were constantly ar
riving In carriages, waarons, and othr
vehicles. The firing was very rapid. Six
rounds had been fired, when as the
annoniers were loading the gun for the
Tenth round, the heat at the brvech had be
come so treat that a premature explosion wa
the result, and Thomai rowcll aud William
Brindle, who stood at the muzzle, tell as the
flame belched out, the lelt arm of the former
and the rlht arm of the latler shattered terri
bly and hanplng limp and useless at their side?.
The band of Powell was completely shot away
Just above the wrist, and the arm at the elbow
was lorn In a shocking manner. The arm of
Brindle was terribly mangled from the hand
nearly to the shoulder.
Not more than half a dozen persons were near
the gun at the time of the accident, and it was at
first supposed that both Powell and Brindle had
been shot dead. Mounted messengers wer
despatched to JeffcrsonvlUe for a surgeon, and
these passed Governor Bramlstte's eaniage t i
furious gallop, as the dlst nguishcd speaker was
on his way to the Springs, in company with
Colonel Caldwell.
The wounded men were taken home to Jeffer
onvllle, where they both reside Powell, on
revlvlnij, pershteutly cheering for Seymour and
Blair. Both men were veteran soldiers of the
Union army Powell having served In tho 12th
Indiana battery, and Brlndlo hftvlng been a
member of one of the infantry regiments of that
State. They were, we are informed, members
of the Republican party up to the time wheu Its
usurpations caused so many of the true men of
that organization to enroll themselves beneath
the Democratic banuers. Both had families and
were poor.

Vbey are Severely Ilamdlad Oaa of
Thin Dtigiruuily Stabbed Arrast of
tha Parties Implicated.
A serious affair, having somewhat the charac
ter ol a regular ro v, occurred last night shortly
alter 9 o'clock, at Front aud Wuluut steels, 'f ue
hour ot 9 in the evening always brings to that
section ot the city comparative quiet. Tho
pliices of business are all closed; the very lights
of the lamps are gloomy seemingly dim. Un
like the more crowded streets near by, where
both citizens and officers congregate m num
bers, ihe neighborhood ol tho streets mentioned
Is almost det-titute of the first, while the latter
are but rarely seen together, aud are stationed
at intervals TBther remote. While walking
there jou instinctively grasp your cane with a
firm hold, and are wary of corners and narrow
alleys.
As policeman James Canine, of the Third Dis
trict, was paiiolling there at the time 6taled, be
cucouutered a woman. A word or two of salu
tation passed between them as they passed. At
this juncture a man approached, addressed a
remark to the woman, aud, without further
warning or any provoca.b.n, caught her by the
throat and struck her iu the face. The police
man witnessed the b'ow heard her cry, aud at
once hastened to interfere. Seizing the man he
asked him the cauie ot his attack. With au
OHih the other made reply that if he was not re
leased he would strike his captor.
Noihiug daunted, the officer, an old soldier, a
man of powerful and athletic irame, deterraiued
now to arrest the lollow. Ho was just tightening
his hold when he was surrounded by a party of
some fifteeu or twenty men, evidently the com
panions of his prisoner. He did not hear their
comii'g they appeared iu a body and must
bae been lurslng close at hand. This was on
Walnut street, between Front and Water, in
stantly a fight ensued. The prisoner was torn
from tie officer's grasp, and he himself was
knocked down. Almost defenseless, lying upon
the uround, lie yet made such resistance a he
could with his billy. Of little avail, that poor
stick, they jumped upon him, kicked him. and
stabbed him. A severe cut was inflicted uudcr
his rirrht arm, auother across his breast.
Wounded, ns tic was, aided by the darkness,
he niuntmud to crawl irorn under their teet. and
cet upon the outskirts ot the half-druuaen,
riotous crowd. Rising to his feet he a.'ain
went at them. ComniiuKlud umontr themselves.
many upon one, they tailed to notice him at
first, and struck, for a time, wildly at each
other. Camac alsj suoceeded in knocking
down some iniee or lour or rue renows.
Reserve Officer James D. IIovley, hearing the
clamor, burned, up, but only to receive treat
ment similar to that which Camac received
He was likewise felled to the cround several
times, and. altboutrh be had bis loaded pi-tol iu
his baud, such was the confusion and press that
belore he could use it, the barrel was broken
from the stock. He ma le his billy do good ser
vice, however and managed to keep tne crowd
at bay until the arrival ot Officer William Blan
ford of the Third District, and Officer XI. P,
Hunter, of the Harbor Police.
The former of them was struck in the head,
the latter, as the lellows were beginning to be
frightened at the rapid coming of the police
men and were dispersing, escaped without
being hurt. The rioters rau in every direction.
Some took to their heels along Water street,
oibers made tracks up Walnut. One ot them
who bad lost his hat in the squabble, fled
throueb Granite street.
A citizen coniins that way was almost run
down by his precipitate flight. The fellow stop
ped a moment, struck by a sudden thought, and
covered his own head by unceremoniously un
covering that of the other. As be turned astin
to run, he told the amazed and now. hatless
gentleman, that it he was followed, or any alarm
was given, he would make use of a pistol which
he sitfulticiini!y displayed.
Officers Oamac, Howling, and Blanford were
pretty well beaten. Camac, in addition to his
other wounds, was bitten in the nose. Howling
was also bitten in the same place. Camac was
taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Tho phy
sician, alter examining bim, stated that his
wounds were very serious, but not necessarily
istal.
The healthy condition of his body and his
powerful constitution will, in all likelihood,
save his lite. The doctor aleo said, however,
that it would rot be advisable to admit the
prisoners to bnil for at least two days and
probably not before a week. Three arrest. were
made, John Carritran, Lawrence Tobin, and
James Keating. Officer Camac, who, after tho
at) ray, made an affidavit, implicates all of them
in tie assault upon him.
Carrigaii, lor whom the police had been
watchful all ninht, was arretted by Officer
Hamilton, about nlue o'clock this morning,
upon one of the curs of the Lombard
and Sonih Street Line. Keating was arretted
at Fifth and Spruce street, about half-past 2
o'clock this niortiug.
Lawreuce Tobin, who has hitherto borne the
reputation of au orderly and law-abiding citi
zen, suriendeced himself to Sergeant Piersou
of the Third District, at 2 o'clock this morning.
It may probably transpire, when all the
circumstances of the affair are brought
to litjht thatfl al'hoiiKU the wounded police
man positively swears that Mr. Tobin was one
ot those who committed tho assault he will be
found to have n.it participated. Tho darkness
and the necesanrv coetuslou of the fibt, may
have inlbli d the officer in his supposition. The
prisoners were commuted by Alderman Car

GENERAL GRANT.
Ills Visit to Ills Old Horn:
The President of the Galena Bank, writing to
a relative iu Boston, gives the following account
of General Grant's reception in Galena, on his
return from Colorado, and of his deportment
among the friends of his former home:
"Ueneral Oram is here, quietly spending a
fortnight in bis home. I sent you a paper
containing an account of bis reception. Tne
reception was spontaneous and informal, bat
genuine and hearty. At the serenade at his
house it was not expected that there would be
any speaking, bat the erowd called some of as
out. I was taken entirely by surprise, bat
could not back oat, as I was standing on the
porch near the General, and had to say a few
words. Ue is in fine health and spirits. Ue
walks about town every day in plain citizens'
dress, the moat unpretending man in the
place. He spent most of the forenoon to-day
Bitting with ns in the bank. Ue is one of oar
stockholders. In private he is very social, likes
a joke and enjoys company. Ue reads the pa
pers diligently, keeps himself posted, and has
a pretty good idea of the political situation.
On Sunday he and his wife and family walked
to the Methodist Church, about half a mile,
instead of riding in a carriage, as most great
men would have done; aud this, too, when
his friends have placed horses and carriages
at his disposal whenever he chooses to call for
them. But he is a radical Democrat in the
true sense. If the good people who are dis
tressed by the stories told by his enemies in
regard to his habits could only look into that
clear, calm, serene, and candid fane for a few
moments, they would Bay that its wearer
con 11 not be a man of bad passions or vicious
habits. It is astonishing how such slanders
of publio men, if persistently repeated, will
oome to be believed by their political oppo
nents. and by and by even perplex and dis
tress their friends. The only really bad
thine his enemies say of General Grant is
that he drinks. This would be bad enough,
indeed, if true, but nothing could be more
false or malicious. Daring all the time he
lived in Galena, I never heard of his drinking
ardent spirits, and I have never been able to
find any man, friend or foe, living here, and
who knew his habits, who ooald say that he
was intemperate. In fact, there was no more
temperate man in the city. That his habits in
this respect are the same now, none who
know him, and meet him. can for a moment
doubt.
"But I have dwelt too long on this, for I
know you have no doubts on this point. ' We
are going to have a big mass meeting here on
Friday next, and expect a crowd to see the
General. lie will take no part in any political
meeting, bat will be at home to see his
friends."

The (ollowing interesting news is taken from
the Trescott Miner of a late date:
"The woods in this neighborhood have been

brace. A night or two ago it ad vauced from the
west upon ine rancues on that side ot the town,

etc., but was driven buck imo the mountains by
the wind. The fire, we are told, was started by
ludiaus, at a point on Granite Creek, where
