A. Royal., Forgery:
The details of one of the• boldest and
Most extensive forgeries ever perpetrated
in this country have just come to light.
The crime was planned and executed in
New York, and the author thereof was
pursued to Illinois, after a series , of most
ingenious efforts to thwart the minions of
Justice, and was finally arrested on Wed
nesday last, in Kane County, Ohio.
On the 11th of July, a man entered the
office of the City Bank of New York, of
which Moses Taylor dr. Co., are 'the man
aging direptors, presenting the teller
with a check purporting to be signed by
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and calling for the
magnificent sum of $75,000. The teller
hastily scanned the signature, which seemed
genuine, and then, as he had been fre
quently called upon to cash checks by the
same gentleman for even larger amounts,
banded the man the sum required. The
individual left the bank, and the incident
passed from the mind of the teller.
t A few days later, however, it was learned
that the check was a forgery. The start
ling information was at once communicated
to the authorities, and that efficient detec•
Live, Geo. Elder, of the special force on duty
'at the headquarters, was detailed to pursue
and arrest, it possible, the guilty party.- -
The latter had of course disappeared, and
had doubtless had sufficient time to secrete
himself quite effectually. Elder at once
hastened to the batik and asked the teller
for a personal description of the man to
whom he had paid the money. The clerk
was unable at the time to recall accurately
the personnel of the individual, but alter a
little effort he drew with his pen so accu
rate a sketch of the forger that the officer
recognized the portrait as that of one John
Livingstone, alias Lewis, alias Mathews,
alias DePeester, a, person of considerable
notoriety in the criminal world.
Detective Elder prosecuted his inquiries
with vigor, and soon learned that his man
bad departed for Buffalo. Thither the
officer repaired in hot haste, and, after
several days' investigat,on, discovered that
Livingstone, after purchasing, a number of
horses in that city, had left for Chicago. To
Cincinnatti Elder next come. There his
search:was not so immediately successful.
Inquiries for several:days revealed nothing,
until finally, with the aid of Detective SaiMl
Ellis, it was found that Livingston had
been stopping 'lir a number of days previ
ous at the Brighton 'louse, but that he hail

chases of stock, with the avowed object of

up to the place. They at once recognized
Livingstone standing in a farm door. Ellis
leaped front the buggy, and advanced to his

Quite a number of letters have been, from
time to time, received at the Treasury De
partment, from parties who make inquiries
as to whether there is not a special value in
the cent of 1857 58. These erroneous ideas
aro generally corrected by preferring the
parties impressed with them to the circular
issued from the United States Mint on May
30th last, wherein an arrangement for the
purchase of nickel cent pieces is announced
and in which it is distinctly stated that none
of tho cants mentioned—that is, those be
tween 1857 and 1801—have any special value.
Speech of Gov: Bradley at Aqletam.
The following is the conclusion of Gloved!
nor Bradley's speech at Antietam. It is
not long since he was a great favorite with
the Radicals. He said:
This day, my countrymen, happens to be
the anniversary of another event in our po
litical history not less memorable than the
one which to-day more particularly engages
our attention. In some respects it is so in
timately connected with the considerations
which the occasion suggests that it is scarce
ly proper it should pass without notice.
It was upon this day eighty years ago
that the representatives of our ancestors,
Washington at their head,after four months'
deliberation, adopted the Federal Consti
tution, an instrument so remarkable for
the circumstances that gave birth to it, for
the wonderful prosperity which sprung
from it, for the reverence with which, from
generation to generation, it has been banded
down to us, that probably there has been
no record of a like character which has
exerted so important an influence on the
history of a Government or the rise and
progress of a people. The political condition
or the country at the time of its adoption,
tit some of its aspects, was not unlike the
present. We hadjust concluded a war
upon the issue of which depended the ex
istence of the nation, tnat was combined
with other circumstances, and led CO the
foundation of parties widely differing in
some of their theories of, government, that
there seemed but little hope of constructing
it upon any plan on which the two extremes
would ever unite. Upon one side political
bodies were striving to establish a strong
and consolidated government, ignoring,
almost, the government of the States,
whilst on the other hand were those who
were for investing the latter with all the
substantial authority, and • making their
General Government little more than their
general agents.
These bodies—honest, doubtless, all of
them in their opinions—had bv their con
tinual discussion on the widely different
views they promulgated, brought the
country to a critical condition, and filled
the minds of its most reflecting people
with serious fears that the great results of
the war would be swept away by these
jarring elements. In consequence alone
,if those discussions and the mutua: jealous
ies and suspicions they engendered, four
years elapsed after the close of the war
before any consent could be obtained
either front Congress or the States, for the
assembling of a Constitutional Convention
and with the , acknowledged imperfections
of the existing articles of confederation,
and amidst the most disheartening embar
rassments, the result chiefly of those im
perlections, the country struggled as
best it could without either executive
or judicial departments. Then, at last
there' assembled that illustrous body
that framed the Constitution under which
we live. They represented undoubtedly
constituents maintaining each of the above
theories of t lovern meta to which I have
adverted, but mindful of the country, resol
ved if possible to rescue it, and with this
noble purpose, resisting the unpatriotic
behests of party, they renounced the ultra
ism which distinguished both the consoli
dation and States rights schools, and found
ed
a t:overnment which so judiciously
minhined the two principles, and so dis
tinctly assigned to each its proper sphere
that the moderate and reflective °fall parties

Steadman
About a month ago Mr. Greeley printed
editorial in the Tribune, based on rumor
by telegram that Gen. Steadman had been
appointed Secretary of War. In that edi
torial Greeley says: "The appointment of
Steadinan as Secretary of War is aS mon
strous and ridiculous as it is intrinsically
in perfect keeping with President Johnson's
policy, which is always to choose the worst
man in the country fur a given position.
If lie could have found a successor to Mr.
Stanton more obnoxious to the people and
less worthy of the office than Steadman, he
would Inevitably have chosen him. lint
that was impossible. Steadman is the last
man in the United States who ought to be
Secretary of War," &e.
Something over a year ago, when Stead
man was named as the then probable suc
cessor of Stanton, Mr. Greeley wrote a
letter to Mr. Johnson, a copy of which was
retained by the friend of Steadman, who
delivered tile papers to tile President. The
friend furnishes your correspondent with
the following copy:

Department. Should this be the case, I
venture to suggest as his successor General
James B. Steadman, of Ohio, one of the
bravest and truest of our Union volunteers,
and a capable and devoted patriot.
Trusting you are aware of his merits, I
remain yours, +.IORACE GREELEY.

As it is very certain that General Stead
man will again be urged for Secretary of
War, arid as it is even more than probable
that he may yet be appointed to that office,
the Mregoing editorial and letter becomes
interesting.—Phila. Ledger.

begin to give for publication the private and
confidential letters that have been written

Ravages of Me Yellow Fever In
Loafel
ana and Texas.
Although the telegraph keeps us advised
of the progress of the yellow fever in Lou
isiana and Texas, the latest papers give
many facts and incidents of melancholy
interest. The .New Orleans Republican of
the 12th instant, speaking of the epidemic
in that city, remarks.
"A heavy, stifling atmosphere prevailed
during the day, depressive in the extreme.
About nightfall, the rain which had threat-.
erred throughout the day, commenced to
fall, and at the time we write one of the
most dismal, drowsy, enervating drippings
we have ever felt, pervades. Sickness and
death are redolent in the air.
"There were 86 interments reported yes
terday for the twenty-four hours ending
yesterday, at 6 A. M. Of these, 67 died
from yellow fever; a rapid increase over
yesterday morning's report, being 25 more,
This is no doubt caused, in a great meas
ure, by the exceeding changeful and disa
greeable weather we have recently experi
enced. Cold and chilling rains, followed by
bright skies, from which the sun beams
with uncomfortable ardor. Too warm in
the sunshine, too cool in the shade. Let all
beware of drafts. Stand the heat and do
not check the perspiration.
"We are indebted to General Hartsuff for
an official statement of deaths that have
occurred among the troops stationed at this
point in the military hospital and quarters.
The total number among the troops since
July 4th has been 55, and among the
navy five."
THE PESTILENCE IN GALVESTON.
The Galveston, (Texas) Bulletin of the
7th says:
" This morning the mortality is heavy,
but the number of new cases small. General
Potter we have not heard from this morn
ing. Dr. Rowe died last night. Lieut.
Garretson, the stand-by of the staff, was
taken this morning. Major Swartwout is
nursing him. This we believe, completes
the staff. We heard from Houston by
telegraph that Major Daniel Richardson
died last night. Mrs. Hensaker, wife of Re
corder Hunsaker, is sufforing severely from
a relapse.
The same paper of the following day (Sth)
says:
The mortality yesterday was much
heavier than on the previous day. Among
the dead was the son of Gen. Griffin. This
is the General's only soil. The demands
upon the Howard Association aro still
heavy. We noticed a larger throng of ap
plicants than usual last evening.
"Among the incidents that came to our
knowledge was the but ial service over the
remains of one of tne frail sisterhood. The
attending clergyman represents the scone
as peculiarly affecting, and expressos the
hope that some one or more of the unfortu
nates may be induced to seek a means of
escape from their life of sin and shame.—
The deceased was the third of these per
sons who are known to have died of the
fever."
The Bulletin, alluding to a statement of
the New Orleans Picayune, that the fever
in that city is not of so violent a type as
that which is devastating Texas, says :
"The difference is this, that while the
fever is the Same, Corpus Christi has passed
through its severity, we (Galveston) are in
its height, and New Orleans has yet to ex
perience the full violence of its scourge.
The Harris arrived here on Saturday. Six
hours after she touched the wharf her
carpenter died of the voinito, and as we
learn there is another young man now
dying with the same. These persons did
not contract their disease in Galveston, they
died of the vomit() that they contracted in
New Orleans."
Extract of a latter dated Corpus Christi,
August Nth :
"I send you a paper that will give you
some idea of our situation at the present
time. I put the one hundredth body away
last night at 12 of the clock. Out of nineteen
of our city nurses we have not more than
four or five alive and well at present. We
have had four physicians. Two have died
and one has left us. I think half of our
population is sick or dead. It looks so to
me. There is not so many new cases, but
they are inure difficult to manage. If you
can send us some money or aid itwilt be
thankfully received and will relieve much
suffering.
"lours truly, J. P. PERHAM."
The Galveston (Texas) Bulletin estimates
that eight thousand persons have been at
tacked by the yellow fever iu that city, and
that at least fifteen thousand of the popu
lation were unacclimated at the beginning
of the epidemic. It adds:
" This would leave seven thousand, two
thousand of whom are now sick. Deduct
ing the percentage who always escape, there
cannot be material fur more than three
thousand new cases in the city.
"There is a call fur lady nurses, both for
pay and as volunteers; of the latter there
are a number or kind souls who are doing
good deeds in a quiet, unostentatious way.
We could tell were we permitted, stories of
some who m e supposed to have no higher
ideas of duty than a new bonnet or the
latest waltz, that would in their zeal and
devotion to the good work put to shame
many of the sterner sex."
The Latest Murder by Brownlow's
kri Tennessee
The 'Nashville Banner of the 14th contains
the following additional particulars:
Intelligence reached the city yesterday
evening of an affair at Jackson, the details
of which may justly excite the indignation
of every honest and law abiding man, no
matter to what party he nutv belong,
throughout the State. Our information
comes from one of the responsible citizens
of West Tennessee, end may be strictly
relied on as to the main facts stated.
At Jackson are stationed two companies
of militia. For several days, under the
pretence that the " Rebels" meditated an
attack, they have been engaged in taking
arms from the people of that town and
vicinity. They have not hesitated to enter
and search houses, insult women, and pilfer
whatever came within their reach, besides
committing a seriesof other outrages, which
we have ne:da•E time nor space at present
to mention. All this was done in the name
of law and order by the legalized military
custodians of the peace of Tennessee.
Last Wednesday a corporal, in charge of
squad of militia, stopped on the street Maj.
Thos. H. Hartmus, a member of Ben Bates'
staff during the war, and demanded to
know whether he had a pistol. Major
Ilartnms replied that he had, took his
weapon front his pocket and handed it to
the corporal, remarking, however, that he
considered such conduct on the part of the
militia a usurpation and that he surrender
ed the pistol under protest. This was said
in the quiet, unimpassioded tone peculiar
to Major Hartmus and no further words
passed. - Without any warning whatever,
and almost before Major 11. had ceased
speaking, the militiaman raised his gun,
took deliberate aim and,Shot him through
the breast. As soon as-the murder became
generally known, which was but a few mo
ments after its perpetration, the wildest ex
citement prevailed throughout the town.
The people had borne with some degree of
patience the indignities and insults of many
months, but this last crowning outrage
seemed to dissipate all hope of deliverance.
A meeting was called in the court house
and messengers despatched to the country
with the announcement that nothing now
remained lan a resort to the natural law of
self defence. Arms were brought out from
their hiding places and all the preparations
begun which generally precede a bloody
struggle. Armed men commenced to arrive
from all puts 01 the county, and had it not
been for the counsels and interference of
the older and wiser portion of the commu
nity, the militia would have fared but illy.
A feeling of desperation was abroad. No
man knew when his life would be taken by
these legalized ruffians, and all felt that
decisive action, no matter what might be
the odds, could not be too soon taken.
In the meantime the militia were aware
of what was going on and made preparation
to stand on the. defensive. While the bit
terness on both sides was hourly growing
more bitter, and a sanguinary collision
seemed almost inevitable, a detachment of
United States troops, which had been sent
for, arrived frOm Humboldt. The com
manding officer at once took steps suited to
the emergency and dispersed the citicens.
As soon as these troops arrived a
despatch was sent from the militia
camp for the negro company station
ed at Trenton to proceed at once to
Jackson. With the cowardice of the con
science-stricken, the militia feared an at
tack was to be made on them by the regu
lars. Fortunately there was no further dis
turbance, and up to a late hour yesterday
evening all was quiet at Jackson.
At last accounts Major Hartmus' wound
was considered mortal, with hardly a pos
sibility that he could survive many hours.
All who know and love him—and they are
scattered throughout the length and breadth
of the State—will receive with deep sorrow
the particulars of the tragedy by which he
met his fate
Fesmenden on Impeachment
It is stated that a gentleman in Washing
ton has received a lette'r from Senator Fes
senden, in which occurs the following
passage relative to the report recently pub
lished .that he had expressed himself in
favor of impeachment:
" I have written no letter, and expressed
no opinion on the subject of impeachment.
It will be time enough for me to express an
opinion on that subject when the case comes
before me. You are at perfect liberty to
contradict that report, as I do not like to be
considered as giving the lie to all I have
said in the Senate with regard to my duties
as a Senator in such a case."
Another Prize Fight.
It is reported that another prize fight has
been arranged between Sam Collyer and
Barney Aaron, to come off some time in
October. But the point at which it is to

The Beath of Sir Frederick Bruce
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 1867.
Senator Sumner telegraphed to Secretary
Seward laid night, from Boston, that Sir
Frederick Bruce arrived at the Tremont
House, at nine o'clock, very ill, and died at
two o'clock this morning.
The Secretary, at four o'clock this morn
ing, received Mr. Ford, Charge d'Affaires,
to confer upon the subject. Mr: Howard,
of the British Legation, proceeded to Boston
at seven o'clock this morning. The Gov
ernment and the British Legation have
communicated the sad intelligence to Lon
don. The arrangements for his interment
are deferred, waiting instructions from
London. Orders have been given to pay
proper honors to the deceased at Boston.
The flag over the State Department is at
half-mast.
The mind naturally goes back to the cir
cumstances attending Sir Frederick Bruce's
reception here. 'Sir Frederick arrived in
this country in April, 1865, being the suc
cessor of Lord Lyons, during a critical state
of the relations between the United States
and Great Britain. The Secretary of State
was at that time confined to his bed by the
injuries occasioned by a fall from his car
riage. Fe, however, directed Mr. F. W.
Seward, the Assistant Secretary; to arrange
for Sir Frederick's presentation to the
President, and, although severely suffering
and scarcely able to utter a word, indicated
the proper language to be employed in the
usual reception speech, revising the speech
with a pencil in the left hand, and inserting
some additions, among them the kind men
tion of the Queen in connection with the
passage "on the importance of the two
countries preserving their friendly rela
tions."
After the Cabinet meeting on Friday,
April 14, Acting Secretary F. W. Seward
asked President Lincoln if he would re
ceive Sir Frederick Bruce on the following
day.
President Lincoln replied, "Yes, at any
hour you choose,"
The Acting Secretary then inquired,.
"Shall it be at two o'clock in the Blue
Room 7"
" Yes," said Mr. Lincoln, " at 2 o'clock,
and be sure to send up the speeches, as I
like to read over those things beforehand."
Promising to do so, Mr. Seward took his
leave, and on the same day sent up to Mr.
Lincoln the drafts of the speeches. On the
night of that day Mr. Lincoln was assassi
nated, and the attempt was made to take
the life of both the Secretary and his son.
By this attempt the last named was left
totally unconscious for ten or twelve days.
The first sign of returning consciousness
exhibited by him was his asking, "Has
Sir Frederick Bruce been presented yet?"
On being informed that he had, he asked
by whom. The reply was, "By Mr. Hun
ter." Sir Frederick had been presented bit
20th April :to President Johnson by Mr.
Hunter, who had in the meantime been
appointed Acting Secretary of State. Mr. F.
W. Seward asked, '• What day of the
week is it?" The answer was, "Tuesday."
"What day of the month?" The day was
named, which reply being unsatisfactory,
he then Inquired, 'What month is it?" The
response was, "Slay," and so he learned
that it was the mouth of May. It was not
until a month later than this that he was
informed of the assassination of Mr. Lin
coln and of the accession of President
Johnson.
Sir Frederick's official intercourse with
the Government always exhibited a genial
temper, combined with great diplomatic
ability and discretion, which rendered his
conduct most agreeable and productive of
good results.
Terrible Murder by a Negro Woman,

while every thought-of spot about the
place was examined by Mr. Graves, and
several neighbors, who joined him in the

Accidentally Drowned while Returning
Camp Neeting.
A coroner's inquest was held by Richard
Nicholson, justice of the Deuce of Itoward
county, over the body of Robert Giles; found
dead near iiimilsonville, on Sunday, the

were conclusive that the deceased came to
his death by accidental drowning on Thurs.

middle Patuxent river. The stream was
swollen to an unusual height by the Thurs
day afternoon rain, and the young man,
who is almost a stranger in the neighbor
hood, is not supposed to have been fully
acquainted with the ford he attempted to
cross. At the time he is presumed to have
attempted to ford the liver the water was
bearing in its fury large heavy limbers and
heavy rocks, so that a passage was entirely
impossible. The carriage which he was in
was entirely demolished, and the horse
killed and fearfully cut by timber and roll
ing rocks. He was found after a thorough
search by the citizens iu the neighborhood,
about a mile from the crossing, on Mr.
lirayshaw's farm. He is spoken of as a
young man of excellent character, and his
loss is deeply deplored. He was returning
from camp•meeting home, and had nearly
reached it, when hornet his untimely fate.—
Howard County (Md.) Record.
The Five•Doilur National Bank Note
Repeated inquiries have been made to
the Treasurer of the United States, from
various parts of the country, with regard to
the difference in the engravings on the live
dollar National Bank notes, able judges in
several instances being unable to decide
whether of the two notes bearing differences
on the elliptical engraving on the back, one
or the other is not counterfeit. In response
to recent letters requesting information as
to which of the two notes, one being less
distinct than the other, is genuine, General
Spinner responded that probably both are
genuine. The indistinct one is the earlier
issue. The engravers undertook to improve
the plate after it had been used, for a year
or so ; and, although they succeeded in
making it more perfect, they did the mis
chief of creating much embarrassment in
the minds of even good judges as to the
genuineness of one or the other of these two
impressions.
Labor Hours In ragland
An act of the British Parliament for regu
lating the hours of labor for children and
women employed in workshops, has just
gone into effect in Great Britain. It pro
vides that no child under eight years of age
is to be employed at any handicraft; no
older child is to be employed for a longer
time than six hours and a half a day; no
young person or woman for more than
twelve hours a day; and that no child,
young person or woman shall be employed
in any handicraft on Sunday, or after two
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, except in
cases where not more than five persons are
employed in the same establishment, and
where the employment consists in making
or repairing articles sold by retail on the
premises. No child under eleven years of
age is to be employed in grinding in the
metal trades or in fustian cutting. The act
also provides for enforcing attendance at
schools, and parents are to cause their
children to attend, under $5 penalty for
each offence.
A Hot Region Discovered
ST. Louis, Sept. 13.—The Montana Post
says an exploring party to the headwaters
of the Yellow Stone river, just returned,
report having travelled through a volcanic
country emitting blue flames and living
streams of brimstone. The country was
smooth and rolling, with long level plains
intervening. On the summit of the rolling
mounds were craters from four to eight feet
in diameter, and everywhere on the level
plains were smaller craters of four to six
inches, from which streamed a blaze and
constant whistling sound. The hollow
ground resounded beneath their feet as
they traveled, and every moment seemed
to break through. Not a living thing was
seen in the vicinity. The explorers gave it
the significant appellation of hell.

ask for time under the pretense of being un-
prepared—a shift to get out of the trial.
The Court will then say that it will be in
session for a considerable period, which will
