Do you reel weak, debilitated, easily tired?
Does a little extra exertion produce palpita
tion of the heart? Does your liver, or your kid
neys, frequently get out of order? Do you have
epclls of short breathing, or dyspepsia? Are your
bowels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting,
or rushes of blood to the head7 Is your memory im
paired? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon this
subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of
company, of life? Do you wish to be left alone, to
get away from everybody? Does any little thing
make you start or Jump? Is your sleep broken or
restless? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The
bloom on your check as bright? Do you enjoy your
self In society as well? Do you pursue your business
with the same energy? Do you feel as much con
fidence In yourself? Are your spirits dull and nag
ging, given to fits of melancholy? If so, do not lay
It to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless
nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and
have but little appetite, and you attribute this to
dyspepsia or liver complaint?
Did you ever think that those bold, defi
ant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those who are In per
fect health? You never hear such men com
plain of being melancholy, of nervousness, of pal

cannot succeed in business ; they don't become sad

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY
Pratt, the Texan Ruffian Attempt to
Release Him on a Writ of Habeas
Corpus Marshal Barlow De
fies Judge McCunn's Or
der and Appeals to
the President for
Protection.
Extensive Warlike Preparations.
New York had yesterday an excitement that
minht be claM-cdiinder the head ol lirst-d.vs
xensutions. At one time, indeed, it was feared
that the soldiers of the State would meet in
deadly contest with the soldiers of the Co em
inent. Happily this was avoided. The New
York World of this morning recounts the cir-cuim-tances
of flic 'whole affair, from its com
mencement to the temporary compromise of yes
terday afternoon, iu the followim; manner:
The l ulled Slates Court building was as warlike
In Its appointments, yesterday, as an arsenal In a
beleaguered city. At f o'clock In the morning, .lust
the hour when rustle fanners are whetting their
scjtlies in peaceful fields, a detachment of the 1st
Regiment Uilted states Artillery marched into the
city Irom Governor's Inland.
The advent of these martial emissaries was a
cause of wonderment to all luong Broadway. The
niarketnien who were Journeying with their stores
of fruit and vegetables delaved their arrival uptown,
by halting and following the soldiers. The police,
who had tramped the streets vigilantly through the
night, were at a loss to know what could call artil
lerymen Into the city or who had summoned them.
Various weie the speculations as to their mission.
Nobody knew where they were going, how long they
were intending to stay, or what reason could neces
sitate their presence here.
The three companies marched In quick time up
Broadway to the United States Court building, where
they tiled into Marshal Barlow's olllee. Chambers
street was drowsy with her last morning nap. No
body stirred through the street, for as soon as the
battalion had entered the building the market
wagons which had followed the men were dragged
away, the occupants, in curious surprise, thinking
that the military moved In iuscrutable ways to per
form their mysterious doings.
Grub for llie Gnrrlxon.
Just after these movements occurred, the Gover
nor's Island subsistence wagon rattled up to the
closed door of the I'uited states building. Here a
small crowd collected to see three barrels of crackers
and bread, one barrel of beef, aud several boxes of
coffee and sugar, carried into the court building.
Now the crowd increased in numbers and luquisl
tiveness. The people about the building were de
termined to know what these great preparations
presaged. But
The Soldier on Gimrd
exhibited the uncommunicative niuniness of Shakers
when unmoved by the spirit. They did not seem to
know anything; they paced up and down the hall In
prolouud abstraction. When questioned by those
standing about, they stared, and that was all, except
to hitch the gun up on their shoulder in a more com
fortable and unmilltary position. Two of the com
panies were quartered in the Grand Jurv room;
another one was stationed in the United States Cir
cuit Court Jioom ; a squad was placed in the vesti
bule of Marshal Barlow's olllee, and three were put
on guard in the hall. Captain Shaw, after stationing
his men in this way, so as to disturb the success of
the direful scheme which was formed iu that nursery
of dark projects now-a-davs a Judge's chamber
chlvalricly disposed his limbs to rest. At 9 o'clock
the guard was increased, so that the main hallway
of the building looked like
An Armory on the Eve ol Rattle.
The muskets were stacked through the centre of
the way, and sentries w ith their hats cocked on their
heads in the warrior's defiant style, strode up and
down, knitting their brows and scowling frightfully.
It was evitleut that the intent of the guard was to
intimidate the bystanders by their valorous appear
ance, and thus prevent any serious conflict. At 10
o'clock
The l.nwycra
were dropping in, and plying the taciturn guards
with professionally voluble questions. Your re
porter heard the following exciting dialogue between
a counsellor and the sentry.
Counsellor Well, my boy, what brought you
here?
Sentry stares profoundly, and takes one step to
the right.
Counsellor What right have you to disturb the
peace in this way V
Sentry manipulates his trousers and stares more
profoundly.
Counsellor (swelling with rage at the stolid In
difference of guard) calls out in painfully loud tones
Are you deaf or a fool ?
Dumb ns the Grent Sphynx.
The sentry was nobly faithful to his captain; the
men received orders to say not a word, to carry their
ears as though sealed with wax, and they all did It.
This is marvellous discipline, but not calculated to
give any considerable Importance to the men. The
counselor moved away with clenched teeth, mutter
ing words of complaint about garrisoning troops in
court-rooms and law libraries.
At Noon
everything was excitement and confusion about the
building. JJiue trousers una bayonets and law books
and briefs aud apple-women were all mixed in in
extricable complication. Everybody was at cross
purposes. The captain was consulting with his ser
geant, and the sergeant conferred with the captain.
The captain was laying a plan for approval, ami the
sergeant talked of a change of orders. Neither
knew what the other was saying. Orders were
given and countermanded in the same breath.
Those who were In harmony through the confusion
became diverse. Nobody knew what was going on
except the body who declared the ignorance of
every uouy.
New C'oiiient Who Were They f
At this time the halls were filled by a new com
pany, meu, for the most part, attired in light cheviot
suits, and blue and black striped shirts covering
goodly grown bodies, which bodies sustained as a
capital ornar.ient a head, the hair of which was
heavily perfumed with bears'-grease pomade, anil
the face glowing with an erubescent rubieumlity
which told of a strong predilection for adulterated
Croton. These genticim-ii were shod with the (ire
clan Bend shoe, which is an Insignia of their oillce,
every man induing ills feet Willi this particular kind
of shoe.
Looking Torn I'IkIiI.
The men so gorgeously bedecked were looked on
with interested attention. The general question
was "Will they arrest the Marshal?" The appear
ance of the soldiery had infected the crowd with a
love for a fight. The deputy slierilts had stepped
out quietly, iu a very little time, and
Ouirt ftesiinied.
The departure was strangely abrupt. At :i o'clock
there was a great hurrying to and lio, doors closed
with a slum, keys made revolutions in the locks,
mysterious whisperings were heard, and the im
pression prevailed that something was going to be
done. iothil:g was done, however, except the
steak which a restaurant sent, in for Marshal Barlow
who was not inclined to appear on the streets.
The Object ol' all llii Pother.
The Marshal sat at his table all day, and a rusty
sword laid beside lilm, with which he intended to
awaken valor in the battalion If they were attacked
A grim smile stole over the Marshal's countenance
when some one suggested the propriety of girding it
on ills thigh and going forth unattended. The Mar
shal did not do so, it is needless to say. The guards
now relaxed their vigilance, bestowing more atten
tion on some tobaeco.which they smoked laboriously
aud chewed abundantly.
An Ariulnllce Pratt to be Produced on .llonduy.
A short time prior to 1 o'clock, the hour at which
the Pratt ease was to be called up before Judge
Mct uun in the Superior Court, Special Term, TJu'ted
States District Attorney Pierrepont made his ap
pearance, and had a conference with Judge McCunn
in a private room of the latter. The interview re
sulted in an understanding that Pratt would be
produced on Monday, Judge McCaun in the
meantime to refrain from issuing his war
rant for the production of Pratt or for the arrest of
Marshal Barlow. During the interview. District
Attorney Pierrepont Informed Judge McOnnn that
President (imnt, before Ills departure from the city,
had given to Marshal Barlow an autograph order for
a detachment of the 1st Artillery for his protection
from arrest. Judge McCunn, in reply, said Marshal
Barlow would have to keep the artillerists during
the twin of Us office; that lie would tiitve cither
Barlow or the prisoner Pratt. The general Impres
sion now is that l'ratt will be brought before Com
missioner Osborn on Monday morning, anil by him
lie discharged. Judge McCunn has received a largo
number ol letters lrom prominent Individuals ap
proving his action.
The illnrnhal nnd Ilia Giinrd.
(ieneral Barlow was anxious to flee the clouds of
threatening war, and s., by disguising his head in a
cap and seizing a carpet-bag in his hand, the Mar
shal, undetected, made his way to the rear of the
banning, where a carriage nwa'ted him. (Jetting
into this carriage and supportel by the officers of
the battalion, he rested unknown In Kvade street,
until a bodyguard of twenty men of the artillery
were ready, and thus escorted he made his way to the
Battery, where he embarked for staten Island. It
was soon known that Barlow had avoided the crowd,
and a general expression of pity for the timidity of
the man was heard. People talked meaningly about
Monday, and seemed satisfied to wait the day when
justice, they say, will show herself to a wondering
multitude. After conducting the (ieneral to his boat
the guard returned to the building, where they will
be quartered until after Monday.
Ki'miiimp of lilt t'nuc.
The position of Marshal Barlow in the Pratt case,
before resorting to the extraordinary measures of
surrounding himself with a detachment of artillery,
was r.s follows: Having arrested J. H. Pratt,
charged with murder at Jefferson, Texas, he sent
the prisoner before United States Commissioner
inborn lor a preliminary examination, to ascertain
whether the charges against him were well founded
mid suiticient to justify the commissioner In holding
tii in for trial. Not being ready to proceed at once
with the hearing, the commissioner committed Hie
prisoner, without ball, and set down tht! case for
the iicM day. Meanwhile, Pratt applied and ob
tained, through his counsel, a writ, of habeus corpus
from Judge McCunn. of the Superior Court., ft hap
pened that this writ was made returnable at the
same time that the examination of the prisoner was
to take place before Mr. Osborn. The Marshal took
Pratt before Judge McCunn, after obtaining permis
sion from Mr. Commissioner Osborn, the argument
on the writ was heard, and two days thereafter
Judge McCunn gave his decision, discharging the
prisoner from the custody of the Marshal. Mr.
Barlow says that Judge McCunn, a State
ottlcer, has not the power to compel him. a United
States olllcer, to discharge the prisoner. Whereupon
Judge McCunn writes a warrant for the arrest of
Marshal Barlow for a contempt of court, and the
latter, who now has Pratt safely ensconced within
the walls of Fort Schuyler, says he will not be taken,
lie hears that the warrant is In the hands of deputy
sheriffs for execution, aud forthwith ho sends to
(ieneral Oram for protection. General Orant re.Jied
about as follows:
i.rnnl'N Order.
General Barlow, United States Marshal, Southern
District of New York: 1 hereby direct you to main
tain the laws of the United States, and to resist all
efforts to take the prisoner J. II. Pratt from your
custody, whether by order of Judge McCunn or any
other olllcer of the Sjtate Courts. I also authorize
ami request you to use all means to resist the at
tempt to ellect your arrest and stop the execution of
the laws of the United States.
U. s. Gkant, President,
(Jenerul .McDowell ICchiioihU.
On receiving this Marshal Barlow sent to General
McDowell, at Governor's Island, and asked for a de
tachment of troops to protect him from arrest by
the sheriff. General McDowell responded by order
ing battalions from companies C, 1), and M of the
First Regiment United States Artillery, to proceed
to the Marshal's olllee. in Chambers "street, under
the command of Captain It. G. Shaw. The men,
numbering forty-seven privates and four oillcers,
marched into the Federal building between 6 and (i
o'clock yesterday morning.
PEXHLLTOS.
Wlint Is Suld of Ills Nomination for the Ohio
Governorxliip.
The Toledo Commercial remarks:
"This is a nomination which, we think, all must
admit to be eminently 'lit to be made' as appro
priate, in fact, as that of his predecessor was Inap
propriate. For the Ohio Democracy to make a
standard-bearer of a prominent Union soldier was
shocking to every sense of Utness; but to take one of
the two men who, until discarded by their constitu
ents, stood shoulder to shoulder in opposition to war
measures in Congress, and insulted the uatinual
seniie with harangues in approval of rebellion, was
Just what they did in 1803, and nothing could bo
more fit than to take the other, as they have, in lsou.
The Vallandigham men wanted one of that stripe
nominated on the 7th of July, but not succeeding,
rather than take a man not known to have been out
spoken against the war-like Kanncy they deter
mined to go out of the party, and nominated a Union
soldier. Pendleton might have been nominated then,
but he refused. But iu the declination of Kosecrans,
that experiment broke down, and now the pendulum
swings back to the other extreme, and takes Pendle
ton. They have now a representative man, who will
not desert them, and the people know where to lind
him and them."
The Columbus State Journal (Hep.) discusses
the situation as follows:
"Some men are born to ill-fortune, some achieve it,
and Bome have it thrust upon them. It is rarely
that we Hud one individual iu his own proper person
occupying two of these classes at once. That is the
position of Mr. Pendleton precisely. After resisting
the nomination attempted to be thrust upon him by
his enemies m the convention, he II nils himself now
forced through very despair to take the nomination
as the only hope of his political salvation. With
no hope of an election at the time of the State
Convention, his declination was an act of simple
self-preservation; with a hundred times less
chance of election now, he finds himself forced
to take the nomination to preserve the party from
disintegration, and risk the chances of recognition
by the National Convention for his martyrdom here.
For what chance would an Ohio man have in the
next National Convention with no party at his back ?
The outlook for the Democratic leaders is gloomy
enough. The nomination of Kosecrans was a bitter
dose, and his declination has left the party totally
demoralized. The nomination nearly split the
party the rejection of the proll'ered honor has
stamped it. There is no light in it now, until It shall
be reorganized, rearmed and equipped, and drilled
in the new movements. The awkward squad
of renegade Republicans must be 'set up.'
Council must learn to step rear-rank to
Baber, and 'cover' that scattering, strad
ling straggler, as his file leader. The Demo
cratic press, which has grown quite warlike In
tone during the last month, must change front to
the rear, 'lalk about 'our gallant leader' must give
place to decorous allusions to 'our distinguished
statesman;' the press must dwell more upon the re
served rights of the States, and less upon the tri
umph of the nation; coercion, from being a ground
work of glory, must change to the unpardonable sin.
Thejie ibilitti (New York World, we thank thee!) of
the platlorm adapts it equally to Kosecrans, the
warrior, and his deadly enemy, Pendleton, the peace
man. Aud the mouth of the press is equally flex
ible. We shall lind it promptly set to the new
music."
The Cincinnati (lazette observes:
"He deserves well of his party for accepting the
nomination, and the party is fairly entitled to his
services in this strait. And it was also a necessity
to Mr. Pendleton; for if ho had aspirations for the
next nomination to the Presidency, It would not do
to let his party lose Ohio through delimit of a desired
candidate. And whether the State went Republican
without him or with him, would have about the
same fatal effect on his chances for the Presidential
nomination, it was a case in which he had every
thing at stake, and therefore it was lit and
necessary that he should take the
standard. Mr. Pendleton's nomination will
make the canvass lively, whereas it threatened to be
excessively dull. Mr. Pendleton enters into the can
vass in the desperate hope of making Ohio a base of
his operations for the Presidency. He can promise
no good to the people of the State. Ills party Is
bound by no defined principles, and Is Incapable of
undertaking any reform. It has not even the vir
tues that come easy to the opposition ; for wherever
there is corruption, Democrats are found with their
hands in It and Democratic organs give It Jtheir sym
pathies. It presents to us a representative of all Its
unfaithfulness to the nation In its struggle for life,
and of all its subsequent recklessness of political
principles."

Arrmt of n Gnn of Counterfeiter nnd Denlers
In Mpnrloim Paper in New York.
From the N. Y. Tribune o this morning.
For a long time the police have been In pos
session of information that a gang of swindlers
were operating among tho dishonest portion of
tno community, one Known as a aeaicr in
foreign bonds would be informed that ho could
have a number of them at a rate much below
the market value; a place and timo would bo
designated; the victim, with tho necessary funds
in his posscf sion, would repair to tho place, and,
the preliminaries settled, would be shown a
package on which was displayed a genuine Gov
ernment bond. Ho would bo informed that
there was great danger of a descent by the police
and the actual transfer must be conducted with
the utmost secrecy and celerity. This informa
tion would scarcely lie given when the cry "The
police nre here!" would be raised, the package
would be transferred, nnd his money taken, and
the parties would hurriedly separate. Of course,
the victim would not dare to open his package
until he had reached some secluded place, and
then he ascertained that the package was filled
with old 1 apcrs and saw dust. The victim feared
to make lorinnl complaint to the law oillcers
against those who swindled him, for tho reason
tnat he bad been engaged in nu unlawful trans
action. In this manner several persons have
been victimized. One person, kuown to
the police, lias lost 7000, another
fr.iOOO. a third i'.i'AX). and a fourth -iloOO,
and others smaller amounts. A few days ago
General Daniel Butteriicld, United States Sub
Treasurer, and Detective Sampson, detailed
thcit, received information that overtures had
been made to n certain person in the city to sell
him u quantity of stolen bonds. Superintendent
Kei nedv was informed of the fact, and ho de
tailed Detectives Tully, Tilly, and Eustace to
ork up the case. They were aided by Detective
Sanij son. A convenient dummy named Rush
was J rocured. who had a meeting with the men
who wished to sell the bonds. On Thursday he
n et the men by appointment at Bonsch's Hotel,
a' tho corucr of Third and Hudson streets,
Hoboken. Tho detectives were stationed
in a dwelling on the opposite sldo of
the street, whore they had a complete view of
the hotel and neighborhood. On this occasion
two men made their appearance, Gabriel Gcru
shym, of No. HO South Fifth street, Williams
burgli, and L. A. Brown, and Bush, being con
ducted to an upper room, after some prelimi
nary skirmishing, the men finally agreed to sell
125. 000 worth of United States Five-twenty
bonds for flOO.COO. Tho offer was closed with,
tint acting under instructions from the detec
tives, the dummy declined to take the bonds un
til the lollowiiig"da, alleging that he had uot
the amount necessary to pay for them. Yester
day at 1 P M. tho detectives again repaired to
their hiding place, and soon after 2 P. M. Gcru
sliym, Brown, and one J. W. Laidlaw made
their appearance at short intervals, and entered
the hotel alone, apparently having no business
with each other. Geruslij'm carried a package
under his arm. Iu the hotel the parties were
met by the dummy, who had, in the mean time,
been provided with 10(1,000 in counterfeit
money, of the denominations of tens, twenties,
and fifties. The dummy was taken to the room
on the third story, and there the preliminaries
being settled, the package supposed to contain
the bonds was given him. In this case, the
stakes being large, the rascals purchased yes
terday a if 1000 live-twenty bond of the second
scries at the banking house of Fisk it Hatch,
paying therefof iP-ST'iO. This bond was con
spicuously displayed on the outside of the
package handed Kush. He, in return,
gave ' Gerusliym the package of coun
terfeit money, and left the room.
No sooner had he done so than he gave
the signal, nnd the oflicers rushed from their
likiiug places, and, eutcriugtlie hotel, hurried to
the room occupied by the swindlers, whose lo
cality they had already been apprised of. There
were three rooms communicating with each
other, and all of these opened into the hall, the
inner one fieiug nearest the staircase leading to
the lower floors. Hearing the ollieers coming,
the rascals retreated to the Inner room, ana
when the oflicers entered the room it was emp
tied. The rascals were captured in the hall-way
by Detective Tully. just as they were emerging
into the hill-way. Gerusliym, on seeing
them, exclaimed, "My God, wc are beat!,
and then added, with a 1 uigh, u Well,
it is diamond cut diamond, only wc are cut
the worst." The package of counterfeit money
was found beside the bed In the room occupied
by tho swindlers. The prisoners asked if the
dummy (whom they were unaware was in
league with the officers) had been arrested, and
were told that ho had been. They then pro
fessed their willingness to accompany the oill
cers, and were brought to this city and locked
up at Police Headquarters. In their possession,
were found memoranda aud receipts of various
kinds of bonds, wines, and other articles. It is
alleged that these men have also operated iu va
rious ways iu procuring wines, liquors, bonds,
etc., from down-town merchants on bogus
checks. Any one who may have been victimized
in this manner would do well to call at Police
Headquarters and see if he can recognize the
men.

There was an active demand for money to-day,
and business borrowers mustered In full force both
at the banks and on the street. There Is a good
supply of currency on hand, but not suiticient to
alter the tone of tho loan market, which continues
as for several days pat The chief attention Is
attracted at the present time to the condition, pre
sent and prospective, of the gold and Government
loan markets, which. In coiiBcnuenee of successful
bear movements, have been unsettled for several
days.
The recent decline In the price of the latter en
abled the Secretary of the Treasury to make an ad
vantageous purchase. A rumor Is afloat, but pro
bably without foundation, that Mr. Koutwell has In
contemplation a financial scheme for the relief of tlio
specie market, and which will ellect a heavy decline
in the premium with a corresponding fall in general
prices. If the report Is true, we only hope the plan
will be put Into speedy execution.
Gold is steady and somewhat active. The opening
price was 134'4, and at. noon, 134J,.
Government securities showed a very slight Im
provement. 1881s are quoted at 122;;, and 6s of
1S(12, 12ft;1,.
The stock market was exceedingly dull this morn
ing, but prices generally were steady. In State
loans the only transaction was In tho War Loan at
101. City sixes were steadv, with sales of the new
Issue at I02',(ffl02,1. Lehlgli Gold Loan was taken
at 99. a decline,
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad was quiet at BOX.
