Detective W. O. Elder, of the Con
tral Folieo Icpartmeit, returned nt a
late hour Friday night from an exten
give tour throii(fh the Went, having
in bn custody John Henry Jjivinga.
ton, alias Matthews, alias Dcpeyster,
who glands charged with forcing the
name of Cornelius Vanderbiit to a
check for 873,000, and obtaining tho
money for the tmino at the -National
Cily link of this city. Tlievlctailg
of ihe cftdO, as furnished to our report
er by Mr. Elder., are of an unusually
interesting nature.
On tho 11th of July last, a strangor
called at the City Bank in Wall street
aiid introduced himself as a messenger
for tho American Express Co. lie
was gotten up for the occasion in tho
style of dress affected by Express
meesengers and was well calculated
to deceive. This man presented a
check lor $75,000 drawn on tho Bank,
purporting to bear the genuine signa
ture of Cornelius Variderbilt. The
chock, dated July 6, 1867, was made
payable to the order of Henry Keep,
President of the X. Y. Central liail
rosd, and bore the following indorse
ment, "July 8th, 1807. Tho Americuu
Express Co. will collect and deliver at
Albany. Henry Keep, President JJ.
Y. C. Jl. R." flue signatures of
Messrs. Vanderbiit and Keep were so
closely imitated that Mr. Thos. Worth,
paying teller, did not suspect tho
e.mraoter of tbe document, but not
having received sufficient fuuds from
the Clearing House to moet the check,
Le requested the messenger to call
a-jftiii. Soon after the pretended mes
senger called and collected the 175,000
in greenbacks. He caused tbe grecu
invks to be done up in tbe usuaFman
nr, nd placed them in a valise,
walked coolly out of tho bank. It is
tuvJIcss to add that the chock was a
forgery, but this fact was not ascer
tained until tome six weeks after,
when, on making Dp Mr. Vanderbilt's
account, the sura of $75,000 was
charged to bis debt mora tban be had
drawn checks for. The check to the
"order of President Keep" was shown
as a Toucher and Mr. V. unhesitating
ly pronounced it a forgery.
The Bank officials at once commu
nicated with Superintendent Konnedy,
who detailed detective Elder to work
the case up. The detective culled on
Jfr. Worth, the paying teller, who
furnished him with a remarkably ac
curate sketch of tbe man who bad
presented the check, drawn by him
with a pon from memory. So correct
was this likeness that Mr. Eldor was
enabled to trace the forger by its
moans. Mr. Elder than called on
Commodore Vanderbiit, who gave
Lim a deeeription of a man with
whom he baa been negotiating for
the purchase of a valuable horse to
match one in bis possession. This
man teemed very anxious to sell the
horse, and thereby obtain the chock
of the Commodore for the amount, to
give bim an opportnnity to imitate
tbe genuine signature. The descrip
tion of this man tallied with the sketch
furnished by Mr. Worth, and with
this clue in band the detective set to
work to discover the whereabouts of
the forger, who bad nearly six weeks
tbe start ot bim, as Air. .bluer was
not given in charge ot tho case nntil
the 29th of August The detective,
by dint of hard work, and dogged
perseverence, succeeded in tracing his
man to Harlem, where ho had resided
in 14th street in good stylo, and where
he bad purchased several valuable
horses. Here ho went by the name
of Depeyster. It was also discovered
that tiepeyster had loft the neighbor
hood about the 18th July, just a week
after the forgery was successfully
consummated. He was next heard
of at Buffalo, where, under the name
of Matthews, or Matthias, ho lived a
nil life and invested largely in horses,
harness, wagons, eto. Prom Buffalo
lie was traced to Chicago, in which
city be went by the name of Henry
Livingston and cut a great figure
among sporting circles.
It was thought that tbe fugitive
w caged at Chicago, as he scemod
to desire to make that cily his perma
nent home. A requisition was needed
to procure his arrest, and to obtain
tbe necessary authority Messrs. Van
derbiit und Worth appeared bofore
J uslioeJUrnftrd, of tbe Supreme Court,
at Chambers, and preferred a com
I'luint of forgery against Livingston
in duo form. The Judge issued a
warrant for his arrest, and armed
W'tli these documents elder went to
Albany and obtained a requisition
from (iovernor Fenton of this State
on Governor Oglosby of Illinois for
t'ie extradition of Livingston. Mr.
Uder thereupon proceeded to Chicago,
but when he reached that city Liv-ii-tjsUin
bad disappeared, and alltraco
of him bud vanished. In this dilem
Uetoctive Elder secured the aid
of detective Samuel Ellis, of the Chi
cifco forco, and Captain Yates, an
'pericncod police offlcor, of Uoneva,
Illinois, and tho three instituted a
'arch for the missing Livingston.
Tbe result of the search was the dis- j
taveiy of the fugitivo, who was found
mg on a farm at blackberry Ma-
' on, on tho Chicago and North West-
I'Ti Railroad, about 44 miles from
I '-'Licago. The officers proceeded at
j ' ."is to the spot indicated, and there

s well stocked fnrm. Ho was some-
hat surprised at tho visit of tbo
oiiters, of course denied all knowledge

'teh drawn by Mr. Worth, and

party drove through country rouds,
nnd did not draw rein except to rest
the horses nntil they arrived at Dyer,
a small villngo in Indiana, where bo
ing of course beyond the jurisdiction
of the Chicago Courts they had noth
ing to fear. Hore Elder took the
train en route for Now York, whore
be arrived at a luto hour lust night in
safely with prisoner. Livingston was
locked up in the Sixth precinct station
bouse for tbe present. Ho has been
fully identified by tho Bank officials,
and will be taken beforo Judge Bar
nard this afternoon. The papers in
the case are already bofore tho Grand
Jury, and bo will bo indicted at an
eHrly dny.
In the possession of tho prisoner
the detectives found $10,000 in green
backs, a portion of the proceeds of the
forged check. Mr. Elder also learned
that Livingston had purchased two
splendid farms at Blackberry Station,
one known as the Camp Farm, of
540 acres in extent, and the other the
Woodburn Farm, of 040 acres. For
those be had paid $.'5,000, and tho
farms wero stocked with tome 40
horses, 130 sheep, a lot of oxen and
cows, besides a miscellaneous assort
rucnt of skeleton wagons, farm wag
ons, buggies, harness, and farm uten
sils and implements. The farms, live
slock, etc.. and the nersonal nronertv
of Livingston are valued it upwards
of $45,000, and have been attached by

Why Ho J'ou i'olt it t
In voting tho Jacobin ticket, why
do vou vote it f
The party came into power with
the country prosperous and happy,
out of debt and at poaco with all the
world.
It has set the fundamental law of
the land at defiance.
It baa disregarded statutory enact
ments.
It baa fastened upon the country a
debt to heavy that the people groan
under tbe payment of the interest.
It baa established a bondod anstoo
racy and exempted them from tho
payment of their just proportions of
the burdeni ot taxation, at the ex
pense of the poor and middle classes.
It has destroyed tbe Union of the
States, and established in one-third of
them the most arbitrary and oppres
sive military despotism.
it lias in ten Mates disfranchised
tbe intelligent and educated whites,
and given the elective franchise to
degraded and ignorant negroes, for
the purpose ot perpetuating party
ascendancy.
It has given high positions to in
competent men.
Introduced corruption in every de
partment of the Government.
Created thousands of offices for the
sole purpose of giving positions of
profit to its votaries.
Made tbe legislation of Congress
depend upon the corruption fund fur
nished by parties interested.
Made "bribery the power which en
acts laws, and perjury tho instrumen
tality which acquits or convicts crim
inals. It lias dosfroyed the sacrednoss of
tho ballot box and mado popular elec
tions a farce.
And this is little of what itbasdono,
to say nothing of the further evils
with which it proposes to afllict the
country.
Then, reader, why will you vote
that ticket f
Is it because your prejudice is so
strong ngainst tho Democracy that
you would sacrifice personal interest
of the masses, the liberties of the
country, tho political instiiutions of
our fathers, the sacred rights ot llie

Or, do you so much dislike tocbange

We do not, rcodor, wish to offend
yon, but we must speak harshly to
speak truthfully of your party.
jvow, we submit to you whether it
would not bo bettor for you to lay
asido your prejudices and consult your
better judgment, to act independ

'Hon. George 11. Pendleton, in a re
cent speech ut Lima, Athens county,
Ohio, sums up tho inconsistencies of
the liadicnls in this scathing and un
answerable manner:
In 1820 they opposed the establish
ment of the Missouri compromise line.
In 1H54 they opposod its abrogation.
In 1800 they opposed its re-enact-men
t.
In J840 they refused the use of
the State jails und Stato magistrates
to execute the fugitive law, on tbe
ground that the rctnrn of fugitivos
was the duty of the Federal Govern
ment. In 1850 they refused to vote
a moro stringent Federal law, on the
ground that the return of fugitives
was tho duty of tho Stato Govern
ments. In 18u0 they passed person
al liberty bills, on the ground that
the Stato should not assist, the Feder
al Government; and irr 1801 thoy
repealed all laws on tho subject, on
the ground that neither State or Fed
eral Government! should exocute tho
Constitution.
In 158 they had possession of the.
State Governments : ther magnified
States' rights, adopted the resolutions
ot US and Sltf at their conventions, cx
alted tho idea of confederation, as
ngainst nnity, and prepared to array
the States in armed conflict with tho
Federal authority, In 1802 they bad
possession of the Federal Government,
thoy denounced States' rights, called
the Kentucky resolutions treason
and have, as far as in their power,
by mere brute force, as well as loirisl
tion, reduced and degradod the State
governments
In 1850 they declared that "no war
could be right, aud no peace could be
wrong; that it the South desired to
change their political relations and
form of government, tboir rights
could not be demod. In 1XG2 thev
declared that tho trinity of our sal
vation was "taxation, emancipation
and war.
In 1854 they declared that tbo
country requirod the restriction of
suffrage, and that the Germans, and
Irish, and English, and French
ought to be disfranchised. In 1867 they
declare that tho interest! of the coun
try require its extension, and that it
must bo given even to tho negroes
In 1850 Mr. Chaso. then Govornor
of Ohio, asserted: "We have rights
which tho federal uovernment must
not invitdo : rights suponor to its
power, and on which our Boveitrnty
dopends ; and we mean to assert these
rights against all tyrannical assump
tion of authority." In 1807, General
Hays, who aspires to be Governor of
Ohio, assorts that tho Mates have no
sovereignty whatever.
In 1804 they asserted that the Pre
sident had powor, by proclamation, to
emancipate four million slaves. In
1807 they deny that be lias the power
to remove a membor of his Cabinet
In 1802 part' purposos required
them to consider the Union unbroken.
In Louisiana the Fedoral Government
had possession of New Orleans alone
They admitted Hahn and Flanders to
their seals as Keprcsentalives from
that State. In 1805 it had possession
of every foot of the State; those same
mon present themselves as Senators,
and they are rojocied because the
State of Louisiana bad coasod to
exist
In 1802 Ihey desired to croato
West Virginia they must have tbe
consent ot the old State they eloct
Governor Pierpont and a Legislature,
ana lane inoir law as ins solemn
act of the State of Virginia assenting
to its own dismemberment. In 1800
they set up a military government
over 1 lorpont and his .Legislature, on
the ground that prior to his election
secession had destroyed the Mato.
In 18G1, and 1802, and lSGIl, and
1804, and 1805, and 1800, during the
war and after tbe war, they admitted
Representatives from Kentucky, and
now they reject them until a commit
tee can inquire wnciner ivcmucay nas
a republican government
In 1803 they established military
commissions in Ohio for the tiial of
citizen,, and by tbeir judgment sent
them to death or exile. In 18h7, the
Supreme Court, by a unanimous de
cision docluros these tribunals illegal,
and their sentences void. In 1803
they vexed us with many oaths, and
in 1807 the Supreme Court refused to
administer them.
For this they have threatened to
impeach the Judges, and they have
actually reduced their numbors.
In 1801 they appealed to tho pat
riotism of thopooplo, and raisod im-
mense armies to maintain tho Con
stitution and the Union. In 1S05
they continuo tho war rather than
make peace on the basis of maintain
ing the Constitution and tho Union.
And to-day, with ostentatious hy
pocrisy, calling thcmsolves the Union
party, they would prefer to recognir.e
tho independence of the Confederate
States rathor than restore the Union
on the basis of tho Constitution.
They have held and abandoned ev
ery theory of tho Government and po
litical opinion.
"In th utiort pu6 of on rToIrinr fflftnn,

Tbey have been true to their pas
sions ; true to their desires ; truo to
their partisan interests; but never
true to ths Constitution. They do
uot understand what it is to ' stand
by the Constitution." Thoy proclaim
loudly that the Constitution does not
exist either in theory or in practice
in ten States of tho Union, and their
most triiKted and able leader, in the
fulness of his contempt for Unit instru
ment, and for the row Republicans
who are willing to obey it, declares in
his own choice language "that some
fragments of the old and broken Con-
ititntion stick in their giir.ard! and

Englund is going to war with Abys
sinia. Already bss one of her largor
iteumors sailed fot the .coast, with the
intention of oxploring and finding
suitable places foil tho binding of tho
British troops, while other steamers
aro to be employed as transports for
the troops which aro to embark in
India and then sail to the attack of
King Theodore, who is thus threat
ened with a rude awakening from
his lovelorn dream. "Tho causes which
load to tho impending war are of a
dolicate nature and we touch upon
them with a sense of the' deference
due to tbe royal personages interested
Jn the matter. It would seem that
His Majesty, .Theodore of Abyssinia,
saw a portrait of Her Majesty Victo
ria of England, and that the first
named straightway foil In love with
the latter, and that listening to tho
promptings of his heart, bo at once
and in tho most formal manner pro
posed to ths Royal widow.
If n-:...-. r. . . .
iuajjaiy u suoms is not inclined
to miscegenation, as she rufusud point
uiana to oocome air. 1 heodore. J ho
sooty monarch of Abyssinia, who
doubtless imagined that the Queen
would "jump. at his oiler," was thuu-der-slruck
when he beard of its being
rejected. His rage and amazement
know no bounds. Ho had condescen
ded in vain! The white race should
smart for this, and he first thought of
puiung 10 aeato ail who might lull
into his powor, but with reflection
came less storn determinations. He
would not execute, he would simply
imprison tho subjects of Victoria, and
when sho beard of this she would
doubtless conclude to change hor
mind and accept the proud position
tendered her in Abyssinia. So a
number of unfortunate Englishmen
were thrust into prison, and duo no
tice of the fact was given to the
British Government. Contrary to
tho expectations of King Thoodore,
even theso summary moasures failod
to touch the obdurate heart of the
Queen ; and so years havo passed
she still refusing, and he stil keeping
tho subjects of Her Majesty in prison.
The relatives of the unfortunates have
of course sought earnostly to prevail
upon their Government to adopt
measures likely to procure the release
of the love hostages ; and as all pa
cific means failed, nt last tho British
Lion is roused and Theodore, instead
of the low, soft murmursof responsive
affection, is to bo deafened by the
roar of lordly beasts.
What precautions or warlike meas
ures the King may take, we are of
course at a loss to unagino; but that
the EngliHU Government means busi
ness, may be inferred from tho fact
that beside the transports to be cm
ployed, thore will be a fleet of war
steamers. The English Admiralty
engaged tbe Amoricun vosscls Kan
garoo City of Manchester, nnd tho
City of Lublin for this expedition,
and have secured the services of a
scientific commission to accompany
the troops. It is roported that the
r reach uovernment will sond two of
ficers to follow the English Army,
and report upon its campaign, and,
finally, we hear that tho colebrated
Dr. . II. Rnssol will be the repre
sentative of the London Time in this
affair. We wonder whethor Theo
dore ever dreamt what an excitoment
wai to grow out of bis giving way to
the tender passion, and whether tho
Qucon feela flattered at this tribute
paid to her charms. We may add
thai, the arguments sho is to use for
the purpose of cooling tho ardor of
her determined suitor are likely to
prove efficacious there is so much
convincing reason in the improved
rifle! and the new guns, with which
her troops aro to be armed. JV. Y.

I nilrd State ttond:
The Republican papers are abusinir
some Democrats of Ohio for proposing
to pay off the funded debt of tho
country in leal tenders. This is called
"repudiation," the"sacrifice of national
credit" and other bard names, but is
not half so bad, if bad at all, as the
measures that the Radicals have al
ready endorsed and forced upon the
country. Who mnde lognl tenders
good payments for debts incurred in
gold and silver, thus legalizing the
repudiation of privato con tracts? Who
compelled tho creditor to accept a de
preciated currency lor his demands
giving bim oftentimes only fifty cents
on tho dollar? If we are to suffer
the name of repudiators, tho sligma
has already attached. The public
debt was incurred in greenbacks ;
why should it not be paid in green
backs t It was distributed when gold
was two hundred hnd eighty; objec
tion can hardly be made now that
gold is one hundred and forty. If
tho Kadicals can point to any law
guaranteeing tbe paymont of the
public debt in gold, they need not
hunt so far as they do at present for
their arguments. If thore is no such
law there is no obligation, express or
mplied, to repay other money than
loaned. But in any event, a simple
way of avoiding all question is to buy
op the bonds in open markets. JUir

SEPT. 26, 18G7. NEW
Jirry Commiimioner.
The following are tbo principal pro
visions of the act passed by tho Inht
J-ie"iKialure authorizing the election
oi Jury Commissioners :
1. "That at the general cloction to
bo hold on the second lucsdny of Oc
toher, A. D., 1SG7, and tri-ennially
thereafter at such election, tho quali
fied electors of tho sevoral counties of
this Commonwealth sbull elect, in tho
manner now provided by law for tho
election of other county officers, two
sober, intelligent and judicious per
sons, to serve as Jury Commissioners
in each ol said counties, tor tho period
of threo years ensuing their election ;
but the same person or nersous shull
not be eligiblo for re-election more
than once in every ponod of six years ;
Resolved, That each of said qualified
electors shall vote for one person only
as Jury Commissioner; and tho two
persons having the greatest number
ot votes lor Jury Commissioner, shall
be duly elected Jury Commissioner
for said county."
2. "It shall be the duty of said Jury
Commissioners, President Judge or
additional law judgo,of the respective
district, or a mnjority of them, to
meet at the scat of justice of the re
spective countici at least thirty days
before the first torm of tho Court of
Common Pleas, in every year, and
thereupon proceod with due diliirenco,
to select altornativoly from the whole
qualified electors ot the respective
county, at largo, a number, such as
at tbe term of the Court of Pleas next
preceding, shall by tbo said Court be
designated of sober, intelligent, and
judicious persons, to eorvo as jurors
in tho several courts of such county
during that year; and tbe said Jur
Commissioners, president judge or ac
dilional law judge, or a majority of
them, shall In tho mode and manner
now directed by law, place the names
of persons so selected, in the proper
jury wheel, ana the said jury wheel
locked, as now required by law, shall
remain in tho custody of the said
Jury Commissioners, and the keys
thereof in the custody of the Shoriff
or said county.
3. "That said Jury Commissioners
ana the Mionu ol the respective conn
ty, or any two of them, thall draw
from the proper wheel panels of ju
rors, as grand jurors of the proper
county, and as notit and traverse
jurors for tho trial of issues in fuct,
which may be taken in any action, in
any of the courts, civil and criminal,
ol the several counties aforesuid, m
the manner now practiced and allow
ed ; but beforo tho said Jury Commis
sioners and Shoriff shall proceed to
select or draw jurors in the mnnner
alorcsaid, thoy shall severally take
tho oath oraflirmation now prescribed
by law, to be taken by the Sheriff
and county Commissioners, before
eelocting and drawing jurors."
It will bo seen from the above that
the President Judge is to act with
the Jury Commissioners, in selecting
jurors and placing their names in the
jury wheel ; and that tho business of
drawing tho names of jurors from the
wheel, is to bo performed by tho
Sheriff and Jury Commissioners.
Agricultural M'alr.
The season of the year is approach
ing,saysan agricultural iournul, when
the happy Fair day! will como. We
are not certain that some poetic feel
ing does not overeomo us when con
templating these happy rural gather
ings. Hero are tho mellow days of
autumn with tbeir Indian summer
haziness. These aro the happy times
for lovers, for it is such a sweet occa
sion for them to ride to the Fairs, and
then walk around arm in arm, and
view the objects of intorest. .It is a
happy timo for married people, tos,
for the wholo family must go to tho
Fair; and husband and wifo, and tho
dearly boloved children, are up betimes
and pack' themselves snugly away and
rido to the Fair. Old and young, lit
tlo and big, malo and femalo, all
attended, and all are happy. Fair
days ire holidays rural holidays
and dolightfui ones, too. Every coun
ty should have its agricultural society
and its agricultural fairs. Nothing
will give such an impetus to farming
matters. Nothing will be so instru
mental in introducing tho best breeds
of rattle, horses, sheep, hogs, etc., or
in making tho farmers acquainted
with tho merits of the best plows,
cultivators, harrows, reapers and mow
ers, fanning mills, cider mills, and in
fact all kinds of farm machinory, even
down to churns. Every department
of industry and mechanism will, or
ought to bo, exhibited and thus
farmers dorivo the greatest benefit.
Well-to-do farmers will go to other
counties, or other States even, to buy
good slock, so as to exhibit and take
premiums and thus good stock will
be introduced that would not have
been otherwise. The ladies, too will
compete with one another in making
superior articles ol butter, cheese,
lard, presorvos, pickles, etc., or in
specimens of their needlework. A
healthy emulation is thus cultivated.
People meet, form new acquaintances,
acquire new opinions and more en
larged ideas, get the rough corners
knocked off, and becomo belter fitted
for society. All oncouragoment to
agricultural Fairs.
