Houston, the Swindler.?
Ob Wednesday morning we published a
briefidscount of tbe swindling operations of *
njsn named 0. Houston, from Cano icd townj
ship.' 1 We have learned further ‘pa j ioulars of
hi* manner of dealing, which throw additional
lightupoh his transactions. Whiitj, in some
respects ha was a bungler, in the main he con
ducted his affairs with as much -expedition, and
withal *with so mooli shrewdness tES to succeed
in deceiving tbe most cautious of. onr business
men. In this be nae aided by i his -previous
good character, and his respectable connec
tions. ' : w
- It appears that bis first attempt* was in the
matrimonial line. "Last fail be' became ena
mored of the strong box of one-of l iic wealthi
est farmers in the county, who resiles in-Cbn
cord township; and, as there was e marriage
able daughterjin the family, he coo'.iluded that
tbe shortest route to the treasures (f the far
mer was by way of tbe hymenial • altar. He,
therefore, set himself to work tc ingratiate
himself into the affections of the {parents, and
succeeded so well that when he {deposed an
alliance he secured a prompt acae tanee from
them, and a hearty co-operation o their part
in hie efforts to obtain tbe consent the daugh
ter. , She, however, could not “b‘ iit in those
lamps,-" "as Artemus Ward would i »y, and had
tabes "a strong dislike, to her suitor. This
made no difference with him, for ,ho had re
ceived the consent of her parents, and was con
fident that with continued attentions, and, if
necessary, with gentle force, the maiden might
be brought to a realization of the honor con
ferred upon her by tbe offer of hfe-hand.
Measures were takento overcome her obsti
nacy, and at last the key was, tanned.upon her
and ehe founS herself a prisoner So her room.
Fearing that this betokened still,-Norther vio
lencB( she determined to escape, knd one dark
tight in September, by the as£dance of a
domestic, she succeeded. • The," heroic girl,
fearing to take the highway lest *i se should be
pursued and overtaken, took to thii woods, and,
after - incredible endurance of I ardship, she
reached the end of her thirty a ties’ tramp,
and found herself in Dubuque. She applied
tar Sheriff Mahony for protection' and,- on her
knees, with tears streaming dow£ her efaeeks,
begged him to save her from a fjot e worse than
death, protesting all the while.that she would
sooner take her own iife than submit to the
persecutions of Houston. Mr.’ Mahony gave
her shelter for three months, and although her
father and mother frequently osSed to induce
her to- return home, she stdutly*refused. In
December the girl left Mft Mahoay and went
to the sister's where she now Houston
called to~ see her shortly after ter escape to
this city, bat she refused to see' him, and Mr.
Mahony warned him to keep iwi y' on penalty
of being arrested and looked „uj;/ During all
this time Houston was fepfest ating himself
variously as runner fora wholcsa e merchant in
Chicago, a stock-dealer, great e jeep breeder, *
farmer,'and, in fact, an adept - n almost all
kinds of business, conveying tf:i-impression,
of course, that, be was very hojaest and was
possessed of unlimited means. iHis plans ap
pear to have been perfected about the first of
the present month. He had rented a farm in
Concord township, and put in*crops, had ob
tain edit large credit at ‘several Stores m tbo
city, and his bogus drafts wqra-ell ready for
presentation for discount at the banks.
On the Isfof July he left tw?drafts, one at
the State Bank, and the other sij the First Na
tional, both amounting to $5l, 00, for eollee
tion. He met Mr. Andrews'at d asked to he
accommodated -with . $4OO fir. two hours, in
order that he might perfect'so pe Investment
which he was about making, a’ id received the
money, but failed to report -until four days had
passed, when he left a bogus on New
York as security for the' amouf t. He playe/S
tbedonfidenoe game at-the’ farmers’ Heme
With success to the amount ofV sixty dollars.—
It is reported, and generally be,eved to be true,
that he wijs accommodated with a loan of $BOO
by a prominent dry goods firpTof. 1 the city t for
which he feft as security a bogus draft for $l,-
800. He brought a fancy wagon, known as an
Englii-b dog cart, of Mr. ■ Cofilnelly, and there
remains due for the same some $lB3. Agricul
tural implements were purchased, but never
' paid for, groceries' ditto, and through the lofag
list.'' ' *— . ,
When Hooston left he rtpii/tcd that he was
on bis to Scotland, to f ini-chase ten black
- rams, of approved breed, -dr. importation to
this country. ,y'j , *
To recount all bis operations would oioupy
more space than we have tc; devote to him. It
is believed that not one-half df hie rascality
has yet been brought to ligbt. many of bis vic
tims being somewhat tender on the subject qf
their losses, and conoealingtbe extent of their
“taking in." It will probftb-y reach well up
among the thousands -in the, aggregate. On
Wednesday morning the officers of the law
were busy attaching whatever they, could find
which had been in his-possession, and those
who were lucky enough to be in time will un
. donbtedly reduce their losses by sales of his
personal property. Sheriff Mahoney sent a
despatch to Chicago, where/jSooston had ope
rated to an extent as yet unknown, for bis ar
rest, and requested that it nrght be forwarded
to New York if be had already left that city.—
On Friday he was known to fie in Chicago, but
has undoubtedly sloped ere t its.
This is one of the coolest ebd most successful
frauds which we have had o’casion to record,
for some time, and those whcsuffered naturally
feel a iittle tender in conseqt ende of the now
'apparent rascality of Houston's conduct. It
trip not he a healthy v clit late in Dubuque
county for him fat some -tin !, and we would
advise him not to oherigh the design of raising'
sheep hereabouts until his operations of the
past few days are well bitted lrfoblivion.—Du

0. F/TAT LOR, Chairman.
We sea'by out Republican exchanges in the
counties of Bedford, Fulton, York, and Clin
ton, that the Copperhead leaders are endeavor
ing to carry favor with the returned soldiers.
We have too much confidence in the general
intelligence of the soldiers to fear the maohin -
ations of the. rebel leaders in that direction.
We happen to recollect that, about one year
ago, the people of this Commonwealth were in
vited to go to the ballot-box and confer upon
the' citizen soldier, absent in military service,
the privilege of voting in camp. Then, as all
Will agree, there noo an opportunity presented
to these mealy-tongned gentlemen of which
they might have, availed themselves to show
their regard for the brave men who have saved
the republic. Did they avail themselves of that
onportunity T We can learn, the answer to
that question from the returns of that election.
So, we find Berks, Bedford, Fulton, Greene,
Wayne, Pike, Northampton, Monroe; Clear
field, Clarion, and far-famed Copperhead
strongholds, giving majorities against the en
franchisement of our soldiers. That was the
way they liked the soldier then. f But on the
other hand the Republican strongholds gave
.most decided majorities for the enfranchise
ment of the citizen soldier. The' McClellan
men did not cast over one-tenth ,of their vote
in most of tbe Republican counties. • They
cast about 220 votes io this county, 177 of
which, we think, were against the soldier.
.. .If our friends in, Bedford, and elsewhere,
have been as vigilant as they ought to have
been, they are able to produce the name of ev.
ery man who voted against the soldier last An
gust. We presume that 1 the Union League of
Bedford County did its duty, amji that the lists
of those who were for placing free white men
on the negro le«el, in the matter of suffrage,
are preserved in its archives. Perhaps a pub
lication of those names might block any little
game of deception the Bedford rebels may con
template. -
Add to this the significant fact, that not one
McClellan paper in Pennsylvania advocated
the soldier-voting amendment to the Constitu
tion ; and while many were silent, others vio
lently denounced it, some discouraged it, and
one—the Wayne county Herald —urged its
party to go to the polls and vote it down; su
peradding these particular faots to the general
fact, we do not see that oor ootefnporanes need
much to deprecate the efforts of' the Copper
heads to worm into favor with the reWrning
brave. If they persist in their folly, publish
the -toll of infamy they scored up last August.
Some of the journals which are published
for the purpose of popularizing assassination,
are squirming somewhat under the lash of pub
lic opinion. They now come the “ humanita
rian" dodge, and name their villainy “ sym
pathy for the persecuted!” We remember
thftt these fellows always choose as a time to
manifest their sympathy, the occasion of the
infliction of the penalty of the law upon some
wretch whose crimes have put him, or her, be
yond the pity of virtuous human, nature.
These sympathizers with the persecuted for-,
get that they are debarred from pleading in
court on that score. Here have they sulked in
silence for three years, liked muzzled hounds,
looking on upon the savageat persecution that
the civilized world ever saw—the starvation of
helpless prisoners of war in and"
by the same hellish spirit that compassed the
murder of Abraham- Lincoln ; and now they
go whining about the world .over the “ cruel
murder of Mrs. Snratt 1” ' ■'/
Now nothing ban be more surethauthis:
If Payne was guilty, so was Suratt; If At-
" f ft The tiotxa cquity agitator.
xerodt was guilty, so was Sqratt: if Harold
was a confederate of Boutb, so was Surntt.
There can be no stronger circumstantial ev
idence than that upon which these wretches
were convicted and hang; anti the only expla
nation of the sympathy of these traitorous
journalists with Mrs. Suratt must lie in the
fact that they, are made-of the stuff out of
which murderers are fashioned, and are-moved
by a fellow feeling. Base men apologize for
base actions, and criminals naturally sympa
thize with each other. When tbs rope straitena
with the weight of a murderer every murderer
regards it os a threat against himself. Per
haps this may account for the sensitiveness of
these teachers of treason and assassination.
We would like to suggest to the friends in
the several counties composing this Judicial,
Senatorial, and Representative District, sever
ally, the propriety of holding the several Con
ferences as early in September as may be con
venient. We suggest Wednesday, Sept. 13, at
1 o’clock, P. M., as the time for the assembling
of the Judicial Conference, and Couderspbrt,
being nearly central, as the plane. It wonld
forward the business of the campaign were the
Senatorial and Representative Conferences to
transact their business on the day following.
This arrangement would afford ample time for
the Conferees from all parts of the,District to
travel both ways between Sundays. We sub
mit the suggestions to the friends west and
sooth of Tioga, and ask their attention to the
object stated. , :
We need a good month to make the cam
paign in. j
Mbs. Soreatt.— lt is much to be desired
that they who claim to be the friends of this
unfortunate woman would allow her memory
to rest in Peace. Assertions of her < innocence
may be very good and consoling among her
family end friends, bat little credit is given to
such assertions abroad, however true, when ac
cotnpunied with the asperity and passion of the
defeated partisans. It would have, been wiser,
as we think, if the clergymen who attended her
had not been quite eo communicative. It would
have saved one of them, and Catholics through
out the country, the mortification which ever
attends the infliction of just censure by a lay
man on one of the Priests of his Church. Gen.
Hardie jielded unwillingly to a violent provo
cation,! bat said nothing more nor less than
that which his duty to himself required.—

Dbqwnino of Five Children. —During the
recent flood at Ontonagon, Lake Superior, five
children were drowned. The Minor cays :
The father, Betbuel Draper, lived on the
west side of the Ontonagon, near the crossing
of tbe Wisconsin road, was out on the i’Anae
Railroad survey, and his two oldest children
were away; the mother,an Indian woman, and
her five youngest children being at home, and
were asleep when the water came into their
shanty.
One of the children, it ie said, was drowned
before tbe terrified mother could get them oat,
bat'Sfae las bed its body and three of tbe others
on her back and to her sided,- and took the fifth
in her arms, and struck out for a tree near by,
to which she managed to tie the corpse in the
vain hope of preserving it for burial, bat the
tree soon gave way and swept down tbe resist
less torrent, and in her maternal efforts to save
the rest by swimming to a second place of safe
ty, the frantic mother felt tbe child on her bo
som expire and saw the others swept under,by
the foaming billows and bnried from her sight
forever. The mother climbed a small tree, where
she remained over two days for the river to
subside,- and on Saturday reached the Forest*
Lauding almost exhausted with cold and hun
ger.
We have been at some pains to ascertain
what instrument of tbe man; now soliciting
the public favor combines tbe greatest amount
of-real excellence. We have prosecuted this
inquiry entirely independently of aid or direc
tion- from interested parties. The opinions of
some of the best musical critics, composers and
performers have been obtained; reports of ex
periments made in the ordinary use of various
instruments in churches, schools, and families,
have been compared, all of which, with singu
lar unanimity, concur in assigning tbe- first
place to tbe Cabinet Organ of Mason & Ham
lin—a decision that corresponds with out pre
viously formed convictions received from per
sonal observation. —New York Christian Advo

A Railroad Romance.— A young lieutenant
had apparently succeeded in ranking himself
exceedingly agreeable tb a married lady, ac
companied by her little daughter. By and by
the train approached the tunnel at Muldrough
hill. The gay and festive lieutenant leaned
over and whispered in the lady's ear. It was
noticed that she appeared thunder-struck, and
her eyes immediately after flamed with indig
nation. A moment more, and a smile lightened
op her features. What changes ? That smile,
it wns not of pleasure, but was sinister. It was
unpereeived by the lieutenant. Sbe made him
a reply which , rejoiced him apparently very
much.. For the understanding properly of tbe
narrative—this o’er true tale—we most tell tbe
reader what was whispered and what was re
pled. Whispered the lieutenant, “ I mean to
kiss you when ws get into the tunnel I" Repli
ed the lody, “ It will be dark—who will see it f”
Into earth’s bowels—into tbe tunnel—ran the
cars. Lady and colored nurses quietly changed
seats. Gay lieutenant threw his arms around
the lady sable, pressed her cheek to his and
fast and furious- rained kisses on her lips. In
a few moments the train came into tbe broad
daylight; white lady looked amased,colored
lady bashful, blushing; gay lieutenant befog
ged. “ Jane,” said the white lady, “ what have
you been doing?” Responded colored lady,
** nothing 1” “ Yes, yon have,” said the white
lady, not in‘under tone, but in a voice that at
tracted the attention of all in the car ; “ see
how your collar is rambled and your bonnet
mashed.” Jane, poor colored beauty, bang her
head a moment, the “ observed of all observ
ers,” and then turning around to the lieuten
ant, replied, “ this man bagged and kissed me
in the tunnel I" Loud and long was the laugh
that followed among the passengers. The
white lady enjoyed the joke amazingly. Idea
tenant looked like a sheep-stealing dog, left the
car, and was seen no more daring the trip.
