It was neither a Cochin Chiua, Shanghai nor "Banty", but eeemed rather to be a crows between a bob-tai' owl and cross eyed Muscovy duck. Jeremiah S. Black, so distinguishes for his great legal ability, and pro- foundest democratic statesmen of the United States, worte a letter a few dars ago, upon the nucalitiee aud frauds that are committed by men in office, and advising the people to give this matter their attention, aud lake steps to root out this evil. He advi- ses men of all parties to vote for none bat men of honesty, and tells the de- mocracy of York that ifany men be upon their ticket who are connected with dishonest practices tt scratch such at the polls, as it will be a hundred fold better that such be defeated, than that the Democracy endorse their vil- l&nea* by an election. This is the right kind of advice. The New \ork de- mocracy in their recent state conven- tion followed such a course, refusing scats in their convention to a delega- tion that was charged with the frauds in the city aud passing resolutions strongly condcming dishonesty in our own ranks. \Ve are glad to note this, and present this matter for the con- sideration of Centre couuty derooetats. who are desirous of maintaining the purety of our organization. All doubt as to the electiou of Jos- eph C. Bucher has at last been remov- ed. He has a majority over Judge Woods of nine votes. The official vote as telegraphed stands thus: Loi on Woods' majority 278 ; Mifflin, Bucb- er's majority 278 ; Snyder, Bucher* majority 9 ; majority for Bucher in three counties 9. , Cvrus HoflTer, democratic candidate* far associate Judge, in Union county. Is elected by 15 majority. This with Bucher fur president judge, secures a democratic court, for the first time in Tuiou county. People down there will have justice now. As the, only platform of the radicals of thi3 county was the repeal of the Ijtw Library act, upon which they asked the people to support Col McFarlane. *ud the Col. failing to be elected tyon that issue, we take it to ?***? thr* ,lp* *°adnive evi- n. ncce that the intelligent people ui Centre county view that issue as a piece ofdemagogueism and a humbug, and fully sustain the position of the Reporter ,at the pills, as the same was sustained by the democarcy by its silent contempt in county conven- tion and ignoring it in their platform adopted in mass convention afterwards. ?. . , > # I Evans Arrested.

We espied this attempt to deceive, early in the morn- ing; the '"cheats' r wcro promptly put out of the way, and a radical scheme foiled at our poll. No doubt this trick was attempt- ed all over the state and may account for the radical majority. Such attempts to deceive voters can only emanate from men who have debased themselves to a level with the negroos, and the law is severe upon such dishonest practice*.

It will serve to close the mouths of those who nre so fond of abusing the Democratic party, especially the Irish portion of it. 'i'he struggle was between the Conkling-Murphy wing on one tide, tho Ffinton-Greeley on the other. The scene opens at Svra cuso: '"The town was fairly wild with ox- citcmcut all night. At the close of the serenades it was rumored that an attempt was being uiude by the Mur- phy crowd to secure the band and giv* a couuter serenade to Conkling. On Greeleyitos, heariug of this, engaged tho baud far tho entire night, aud opened a midnight concert in Hank Smith's room. Campagno flowed like water, and after some hours spent in carousing, the baud, triumphantly {touring forth {taeatis of victory, was inarched through the halls of the \ un- derbill to the inteuse annoyance and disgust of all peaceable people. Gangs of New York roughs came into town during the night aud early this morning, aud it was evident that there would be serious trouble, if uot actual bloodshed. At the time named foi opening the halt this morning the crowd "docked thither and stormed at the doors for admission. It was re- ported that the room was to be packed in the Murphy interest. There wer* uo policemen ou guard, and, at out time, while the door was held |iartU ?pen to admit a member of the pre** the crowd grabbed it aud pulled it wide open. A rush was made, but the gang ol roughs who stood on the inside were as spunky as the gaug outside. There was crushing, shouting, swearing and wild surging to and fro. Presently a I -tool was seen in the baud of one ol the follows inside, and then a caue with a loaded head. Both of these were used as weapons and smashed dowu on the skulls of the meu outside; then an oruatueuul iron back form ofl the orchestra chairs was seen being freelev brandished in a similar man- ner. Immediately thereafter several revolvers were drawn, and flourished by parties iu the crowd out outside, while thoee inside tore the loose furni- ture apart and stood readv with legs of tables aud chain to club the intru- ders. -Put down those pistols"? "Don't shoot, don't shoot" ?"Kill the t of a , kill him"?"Blow his brains out" ?"Open the door" ? 4 *N'o| a damned one of you will get in ?"You'll all get in, and ejaculations more expressive than elegant were in- dulged in, uutil the place seemed worse than Bedlam. By this time the police arrived, and, taking charge ol the door, couipartive quiet was restor- ed, but not until Detective Benuet, ol New York, had wormed himself into tbe crowd and grabbed a couple ot the revolvers which were being flour- ished overhead. Those having tickets were then admitted, and a short time the room and galleries were crowded, while a number of the roughs filled the back of the platform and seemed prepared to help along the scrimmage that might be commenced. After repeatedly requesting all parties not members of the press to retire from the platform, Mr. A. B. Cornell, Chairman, ordered the police officers to clear the stage." Here we'll close the disgraceful ac- count. Enough has been given to show up that convention. The upshot of this omnium gatherum was, that the Conklin Murphy wing carried the convention, and the Fenton-Greeley wing bolted k with a defiant strut, threatened terrible things with the the bravado of a Bombastes Furioso, slept on it as well as their fevered brain would permit, aud wheeled arouud into column to support the ticket "they bad bolted from. The whole transaction is a Radical picture true to life. Republican Responsibility for New York Frauds. The corruption which has for many years prevailed in the municipal gov- i crnment of New York says the World, is handled with great, but undue, elec- tioneering effect by the Republican presses and orators in all parts of the country. Nothing could seem more plausible on & superficial view, or is so fallacious in the light of facts. Peo- ple in other States, who have no exact knowledge of our domestic history or legislation, are easily deceived when asked to look at the two broad facts that New York City has been for years the chief stronghold of the Dem- ocratic party, and that its municipal government has been for years scan- dalously corrupt. But when the Dem- ocratic party is held responsible for the corruption, tho most important Birt of the situation is left out of view uring these twelve or fifteen rears of flagrant abuses, New York has not been self-governed by its Democratic voters, but has groaned under an odi- ous outside government imposed upon it by a Republican Legislature at Al- bay* The people of the city have had no liberty; they have been bound in galling Albany fetters; all thisscand- ulous corruption is the direct fruit ol arrogant and tyrannical Republican legislation. Fifteen years ago, in the Prestden tial election of 1856, the newly formed Republican party carried this State high-aud-dry for Fremont, and re- tained its ascendancy in the Legisla- ture until last year. But while the State was republican, the city hae been ?nvincibly Deomcratic. If the muni- cipality had not been a place of prodi- gious wealth and great necessary ex- penditure, the Republican Ligislature would have permitted it to retain the same rigot of self-government as other localities. But the large sum* which pass through tbe treasury of this vast and growing city, were too strong a temptation lor Republican cupidity. The Republicans could not endure that this money should be disbursed under Democratic direction. They sere unwil.ing that the numerous city offices should be filled by Democrats. They accordingly p<*vcrted the pow- ers of legislation to impose on the city an extraneous government of their own creation. They thereby enabled Republicans to exercise authority here where the Democratic party has long oecn in a majority of three to one. The corruption which afflicta abd dis- graces tho city grew, grew up under this outside Albany domination, a irainst which Democrats have always protested. It ia absurd to charge the Democratic party with a state ot tbiufrs which was impoeed upou them by outside Republican domination tn lefiance of tneir strung remonstran- Ce 'Tho Republican party ha< ruled this Democratic city fur the last fourteen y<Jarxlv legislative iutcrierence irooi Albany, uutil the charter (passed by Republican vole*; went into opemuou in the summer of lust year. Tbe Democratic majority of the city are uot responsible for a corrupt govern* j ment imposed upon them without their ooßtcilt. { j. C The most rotten part of our maui- [cipal ?stem, miicolias Sen the | Bonn) of SupmilOr*. Deduct from the catalogue of fraud* those which originated in that ltonrd, ami nothing very startling remains. But the Board of Supervisor* was a Republi- can creation. By a cunning contri- vance half of it was given to the Re- publicans, although uo Republican could have been elected to it in this IViuocratic city. It was mads to con- sul of twelve member*, but uo elector was permitted to vote for more than six. The couscquence was that the Democratic ticket of six names, and the Republican lieket cousisted also of six. Ihe six Democrats were elected,, and the Mayor wj* compelled by law to ap|wint the six. Republicans, thus giving the Republicans oue half of the Board. This equal division shield- ed its transactions against party criti- cism and exposure, and removed one of the chief restraints upon corruption. But when the lirst half-and-half Board bad been elected, a Republican Legis- lature took a still more effectual step for protecting it in the jwrjwiralion of frauds. A law was passed for dividiur the elected members and the appoiuted, members into six classes each, and ex- tending their terms of office to six. years. Oue of tho elected members and one of the oppoiuted in# in be rs were to go out ench year, leaving always in office five-sixths of trained and veteran eorruptiouists who could not be reach- ed by the people or held to any re- sponsibility in the elections. It was tiil so organized as to free it from all party responsibility ; and tbeu its or- ganization was so chauged as to free it from all responsibility to the people* bv the great length of the terms of office. The grasp of the Board upon] public plundci was still farther strengthened by another act of the Republican Legislature providing that when a vacancy occurred iu the Board, i the place should be filled by tba ap- pointment of a new member by thej Board itself, which was thus made a| close corporation for filling vacan- cies That cuuuiug and curious in-' vent ion of a Republican Legislature j has been the chief fountain of muni-; cipal corruption. lugcraoU'* accounts, Garvey's accounts, Keyaer's accounts, i and all the rest which have caused to much scaudal aud excitement, werej the ripened fruit of that rotten Board j of Supervisors, imposed upon the city by a Republican Legislature. Corruption has uot reached sueb gi- gautic proportions uuder the present charter, olthough the charter was modelled after the argauisation of the Board of Supervisors in one of its worst features, that is, in protecting officer* against any proper responsibil- ity to the people by giving them long terms, and making the city govern- ment a sort of close corporation. This bad charter could uever btve been passed without Republican voles. It had the nearly unanimous support of the Republicans iu both brauches of tbe Legislature, although iu undisguised object was to continue and intrench the Tammany riug in power. There was a vigorous Democratic opposition to its passage, and it would have been, defeated if the Republicans of the Legislature had uot come in s solid body to its rescue. For whatever evils and mischiefs it has wrought, thei Republican party is clearly reaponsi- ble. While it is thus historically true that tho Republican party bas caused the tnuuicipal corruption at the expo- sure of which the community stands agast, every effective blow against it has beeu struck by Democratic hands. The Democratic State Convention, which meets at Rochester to-dsy, will plant its heel on the head of the mon- ster and crush out its life. THE FIRE DEMON.

Dineolu |*rk waa crowded * during tbe day gud night by those unable to procure shelter. Tho cries of children for bread were heart-ronding. Of the reports that some went craay 1 have no doubt. It was terrible, horrible. One gentleman, Mr. A. B. Smith, on Hadurday night wa* worth s*oo,ooo. To-day he it not worth SBOO. Among the tad arena* of the calamity wa* tho appearance ot men and boy* beast- ly intoxicated around the stroct* of the Nurtb Division, where saloon keeper*' stock* of liquor* were turned into the street, and furnished a convenient oppor- tunity for tbe gratlfleation of their slavish propentitiaa, and thoie can hardly be any doubt that many f theso poor wretches found their death in the flames, for they were too helple** to etcape. One poor man figd crowded fcr refuge into the wa- ter main, lying In the straet near the water work*, but lha flame* found him even there before he coald gat hie body wholly in safety.

A vagrant wan nt rested in Louden, and the story of his life is ao extraor- dinary that it is n good lesson to lend their ears and give their money to sturdy beggars: He was asked to reply to the following leading questions first what had tuduoed him to adopt vagrancy as a mode of livelihood; sec- ondly, how he supported himself in his wanderings , thirdly, the goals iu which he was incarcerated, with the cause of such incarceration ;and, lastly, the casual wards he visited, His re- ply to the first question is unpleasantly candid : "I left my trade because I aoon discovered that more could be got without work than with it; what knowledge I lacked was soon instilled in uiy tuind by professional vagrants." i With regard to the means he adopted for his support, he states: " Now I mean to make a clean breast of it. 11 will candidly dccJnrc that fhare ?tuck atnothing.' ** I have worked (but very littlo) at my trade; I have beeu a cattle-drover ; 11 have been salesman with three dif- Iferent cheap-Jacks ; I have been a | pot hawker ; I have been a vender of pens, paper, razors (Pctco Pindar's), spectacles, laces, C"C., , I have hocus distributor of rcligoua tracts.

The radical papers?some of them?-ttcm to rfxult over the Chicago fire.They last week hail their roosters up.

The democratic papers very becoming-

.V refrained fW>m this. The most

hideous chicken we saw in any paper,was that produced by the Tyrone Her-ald. It was neither a Cochin Chiua,

Shanghai nor "Banty", but eeemedrather to be a crows between a bob-tai'owl and cross eyed Muscovy duck.

Jeremiah S. Black, so distinguishesfor his great legal ability, and pro-foundest democratic statesmen of the

United States, worte a letter a few

dars ago, upon the nucalitiee aud

frauds that are committed by men in

office, and advising the people to givethis matter their attention, aud lakesteps to root out this evil. He advi-

ses men of all parties to vote for none

bat men of honesty, and tells the de-mocracy of York that ifany men be

upon their ticket who are connectedwith dishonest practices tt scratch suchat the polls, as it will be a hundredfold better that such be defeated, thanthat the Democracy endorse their vil-

l&nea* by an election. This is the rightkind of advice. The New \ork de-

mocracy in their recent state conven-tion followed such a course, refusingscats in their convention to a delega-tion that was charged with the fraudsin the city aud passing resolutions

strongly condcming dishonesty in our

own ranks. \Ve are glad to note this,

and present this matter for the con-

sideration of Centre couuty derooetats.

who are desirous of maintaining the

purety of our organization.

Alldoubt as to the electiou of Jos-eph C. Bucher has at last been remov-ed. He has a majority over JudgeWoods of nine votes. The officialvote as telegraphed stands thus: Loion

Woods' majority 278 ; Mifflin, Bucb-er's majority 278 ; Snyder, Bucher*majority 9 ; majority for Bucher in

three counties 9. ,

Cvrus HoflTer, democratic candidate*far associate Judge, in Union county.

Is elected by 15 majority. This with

Bucher fur president judge, secures a

democratic court, for the first time in

Tuiou county. People down therewill have justice now.

As the, only platform ofthe radicalsof thi3 county was the repeal of the

Ijtw Library act, upon which they

asked the people to support ColMcFarlane. *ud the Col. failing to beelected tyon that issue, we take it to

?***? thr*,lp* *°adnive evi-n. ncce that the intelligent people ui

Centre county view that issue as a

piece ofdemagogueism and a humbug,and fully sustain the position of the

Reporter ,at the pills, as the same

was sustained by the democarcy byits silent contempt in county conven-tion and ignoring it in their platformadopted in mass convention afterwards.

This fraudulent ticketwas printed near as possible in imitationof the democratic ticket, but bad the dem-ocratic state nominees left. otf. We espied

this attempt to deceive, early in the morn-

ing; the '"cheats' rwcro promptly put out

of the way, and a radical scheme foiled at

our poll. No doubt this trick was attempt-ed all over the state and may account forthe radical majority. Such attempts todeceive voters can only emanate from menwho have debased themselves to a levelwith the negroos, and the law is severeupon such dishonest practice*.

opening Scene in the New l"rklludlenl Convent ion.

*

It is so popular with Radical pa-pors and speaker* to give account* ofriotous manifestations in How YorWand charge them as fair speciutcus ofDemocracy, that we call the followingaccount from tho New York Heraldof the opening scene at their Stateconvention at Syracuse on the 27thUIt. It will serve to close the mouthsof those who nre so fond of abusingthe Democratic party, especially theIrish portion of it. 'i'he struggle wasbetween the Conkling-Murphy wingon one tide, tho Ffinton-Greeley onthe other. The scene opens at Svracuso:

'"The town was fairly wild with ox-citcmcut all night. At the close ofthe serenades it was rumored that anattempt was being uiude by the Mur-phy crowd to secure the band and giv*a couuter serenade to Conkling. OnGreeleyitos, heariug of this, engagedtho baud far tho entire night, audopened a midnight concert in HankSmith's room. Campagno flowed likewater, and after some hours spent incarousing, the baud, triumphantly{touring forth {taeatis of victory, wasinarched through the halls of the \ un-

derbill to the inteuse annoyance anddisgust of all peaceable people.Gangs of New York roughs came intotown during the night aud early thismorning, aud it was evident that therewould be serious trouble, ifuot actualbloodshed. At the time named foiopening the halt this morning thecrowd "docked thither and stormed at

the doors for admission. It was re-

ported that the room was to be packedin the Murphy interest. There wer*

uo policemen ou guard, and, at outtime, while the door was held |iartU?pen to admit a member of the pre**

the crowd grabbed it aud pulled it

wide open.A rush was made, but the gang ol

roughs who stood on the inside wereas spunky as the gaug outside. Therewas crushing, shouting, swearing andwild surging to and fro. Presently a

I -tool was seen in the baud of one ol

the follows inside, and then a cauewith a loaded head. Both of thesewere used as weapons and smasheddowu on the skulls ofthe meu outside;then an oruatueuul iron back form oflthe orchestra chairs was seen beingfreelev brandished in a similar man-

ner. Immediately thereafter severalrevolvers were drawn, and flourishedby parties iu the crowd out outside,while thoee inside tore the loose furni-ture apart and stood readv with legsof tables aud chain to club the intru-ders. -Put down those pistols"?"Don't shoot, don't shoot" ?"Kill thet of a , kill him"?"Blow hisbrains out"?"Open the door"? 4*N'o|a damned one of you will get in?"You'll all get in, and ejaculationsmore expressive than elegant were in-dulged in, uutil the place seemed

worse than Bedlam. By this time thepolice arrived, and, taking charge ol

the door, couipartive quiet was restor-ed, but not until Detective Benuet, ol

New York, had wormed himself intotbe crowd and grabbed a couple ot

the revolvers which were being flour-ished overhead. Those having ticketswere then admitted, and a shorttime the room and galleries were

crowded, while a number ofthe roughsfilled the back of the platform andseemed prepared to help along thescrimmage that might be commenced.After repeatedly requesting all partiesnot members of the press to retirefrom the platform, Mr. A. B. Cornell,Chairman, ordered the police officersto clear the stage."

Here we'll close the disgraceful ac-

count. Enough has been given to

show up that convention. The upshotof this omnium gatherum was, thatthe Conklin Murphy wing carried theconvention, and the Fenton-Greeleywing bolted k with a defiant strut,

threatened terrible things with thethe bravado of a Bombastes Furioso,slept on it as well as their feveredbrain would permit, aud wheeledarouud into column to support theticket "they bad bolted from. Thewhole transaction is a Radical picturetrue to life.

Republican Responsibility for NewYork Frauds.

The corruption which has for manyyears prevailed in the municipal gov-

i crnment of New York says the World,is handled with great, but undue, elec-tioneering effect by the Republicanpresses and orators in all parts of thecountry. Nothing could seem more

plausible on & superficial view, or is sofallacious in the light of facts. Peo-ple in other States, who have no exactknowledge of our domestic history or

legislation, are easily deceived whenasked to look at the two broad factsthat New York City has been foryears the chief stronghold of the Dem-ocratic party, and that its municipalgovernment has been for years scan-

dalously corrupt. But when the Dem-ocratic party is held responsible forthe corruption, tho most important

Birt of the situation is left out ofviewuring these twelve or fifteen rears of

flagrant abuses, New York has not

been self-governed by its Democraticvoters, but has groaned under an odi-ous outside government imposed uponit by a Republican Legislature at Al-bay* The people of the city have hadno liberty; they have been bound ingalling Albany fetters; all thisscand-ulous corruption is the direct fruit olarrogant and tyrannical Republicanlegislation.

Fifteen years ago, in the Prestdential election of 1856, the newly formedRepublican party carried this Statehigh-aud-dry for Fremont, and re-

tained its ascendancy in the Legisla-ture until last year. But while theState was republican, the city hae been?nvincibly Deomcratic. Ifthe muni-

cipality had not been a place of prodi-gious wealth and great necessary ex-

penditure, the Republican Ligislaturewould have permitted it to retain thesame rigot of self-government as other

localities. But the large sum* whichpass through tbe treasury of this vast

and growing city, were too strong a

temptation lor Republican cupidity.The Republicans could not endure

that this money should be disbursedunder Democratic direction. Theysere unwil.ing that the numerous city

offices should be filled by Democrats.They accordingly p<*vcrted the pow-ers of legislation to impose on the cityan extraneous government of theirown creation. They thereby enabledRepublicans to exercise authority herewhere the Democratic party has longoecn in a majority of three to one.

The corruption which afflicta abd dis-graces tho city grew, grew up underthis outside Albany domination, a

irainst which Democrats have alwaysprotested. It ia absurd to charge the

Democratic party with a state ot

tbiufrs which was impoeed upou them

by outside Republican domination tn

Ce'Tho Republican party ha< ruled this

Democratic city fur the last fourteeny<Jarxlv legislative iutcrierence irooi

uot responsible for a corrupt govern* jment imposed upon them without theirooßtcilt. { j. C

The most rotten part of our maui-[cipal ?stem, miicolias Sen the

| Bonn) of SupmilOr*. Deduct fromthe catalogue of fraud* those whichoriginated in that ltonrd, ami nothingvery startling remains. But theBoard of Supervisor* was a Republi-can creation. By a cunning contri-vance half of it was given to the Re-publicans, although uo Republicancould have been elected to it in thisIViuocratic city. It was mads to con-sul of twelve member*, but uo electorwas permitted to vote for more thansix. The couscquence was that theDemocratic ticket of six names, andthe Republican lieket cousisted also ofsix. Ihe six Democrats were elected,,and the Mayor wj*compelled by lawto ap|wint the six. Republicans, thusgiving the Republicans oue half ofthe Board. This equal division shield-ed its transactions against party criti-cism and exposure, and removed oneof the chief restraints upon corruption.But when the lirst half-and-half Boardbad been elected, a Republican Legis-lature took a still more effectual stepfor protecting it in the jwrjwiralion offrauds. A law was passed for dividiurthe elected members and the appoiuted,members into six classes each, and ex-

tending their terms of office to six.years. Oue of tho elected membersand one of the oppoiuted in# in be rs wereto go out ench year, leaving always inoffice five-sixths of trained and veteraneorruptiouists who could not be reach-ed by the people or held to any re-sponsibility in the elections. It wastiil so organized as to free it from allparty responsibility ; and tbeu its or-

ganization was so chauged as to freeit from all responsibility to the people*bv the great length of the terms ofoffice. The grasp of the Board upon]public plundci was still fartherstrengthened by another act of theRepublican Legislature providing thatwhen a vacancy occurred iu the Board, ithe place should be filled by tba ap-pointment of a new member by thejBoard itself, which was thus made a|close corporation for filling vacan-cies That cuuuiug and curious in-'vent ion of a Republican Legislature jhas been the chief fountain of muni-;cipal corruption. lugcraoU'* accounts,

Garvey's accounts, Keyaer's accounts, iand all the rest which have caused to

much scaudal aud excitement, werejthe ripened fruit of that rotten Board jofSupervisors, imposed upon the cityby a Republican Legislature.

Corruption has uot reached sueb gi-gautic proportions uuder the presentcharter, olthough the charter wasmodelled after the argauisation of theBoard of Supervisors in one of itsworst features, that is, in protectingofficer* against any proper responsibil-ity to the people by giving them longterms, and making the city govern-ment a sort ofclose corporation. Thisbad charter could uever btve beenpassed without Republican voles. Ithad the nearly unanimous support ofthe Republicans iu both brauches oftbe

Legislature, although iu undisguisedobject was to continue and intrenchthe Tammany riug in power. Therewas a vigorous Democratic oppositionto its passage, and it would have been,defeated if the Republicans of theLegislature had uot come in s solidbody to its rescue. For whateverevils and mischiefs it has wrought, theiRepublican party is clearly reaponsi-ble.

While it is thus historically truethat tho Republican party bas causedthe tnuuicipal corruption at the expo-sure of which the community standsagast, every effective blow against ithas beeu struck by Democratic hands.The Democratic State Convention,which meets at Rochester to-dsy, willplant its heel on the head of the mon-

ster and crush out its life.

A vagrant wan ntrested in Louden,and the story of his life is ao extraor-dinary that it is n good lesson to lendtheir ears and give their money tosturdy beggars: He was asked to replyto the following leading questionsfirst what had tuduoed him to adoptvagrancy as a mode of livelihood; sec-ondly, how he supported himself inhis wanderings , thirdly, the goals iuwhich he was incarcerated, with thecause ofsuch incarceration ;and, lastly,the casual wards he visited, His re-ply to the first question is unpleasantlycandid : "I left my trade because I aoondiscovered that more could be gotwithout work than with it; whatknowledge I lacked was soon instilledin uiy tuind by professional vagrants."

i With regard to the means he adoptedfor his support, he states: " Now Imean to make a clean breast of it.

11 will candidly dccJnrc that fhare?tuck atnothing.'

** I have worked (but very littlo) at

my trade; Ihave beeu a cattle-drover ;

11 have been salesman with three dif-Iferent cheap-Jacks ; I have been a| pot hawker ; I have been a vender ofpens, paper, razors (Pctco Pindar's),spectacles, laces, C"C., , I have hocusdistributor of rcligoua tracts. I have inthe employ (for two years together) ofmnnslaugiiteritig quack doctor*. Ihave sold cards at all the principalplaces inEngland. Ialso attended formany years the principal prize-fight*.I have been a 'shallow cove* (. c., a

member of the laud navv); also ahigh-flyer' (\u2666. e., a begging-letter im-porter); a'lurker', one, who ha- fortydifferent trades end toaster'or none.My favorite 'lurk' was butcher, tnllow-chandleror, currier; and, to crown nilhave been a preacher! This gamepays well in remote village streets onSunday evenings, provided you arewell Mocked with tracts. 1 must

also tell you, in short, I have been a

rogue, imposter nnd a vagabond ofeach aud every denomination. I saythis because it is true, and because 1am now heartily ashamed of it."
