The teller gavo tho deliHilive unployod to work up the enso a singularly siecurnU' pen port rait of the man, which led to his detection an d arrest in the State of Illinois. Livingston, on si curing the money, first, fled to Harlem, then to Utica, then to Buffalo, where he as- sumed the iiainoR o f Lewis, Dcpeysler, and Matthews; then to Chicago, where he spent, money so lavishly as to be ipiite. notorious. lie finally settled at it place known as Llncklierry (Station, in Kane county,.and there bought one thousand ncrt s of laud for 82fi,OUO in cash. On this estate, one o f the finest in the country, he wa s in the course of creeling a superb mansion, with com tnodiotis stables for the accommodation of upwards of forty valuable horses, which he ha d recently purchased, with any number of farm wngoirs and agri- cultural implements for carrying on a n extensive establishment. On Wednes- day morning of last week the detec- tives, alter a difficult hunt, >eac.hed IIUB larin, and standing in tlio stable door was the original of the photogtaphed pen and ink sketch. As Livingston read the warrant for hi s arrest he be- came deathly palfj an d trembled vio- lently, stealthily looking around for SOUK' mentis ol escape, but finding none, he surrendered. Proceeding to tlio house wiili their prisoner, they tfore i|ntro(luced to his wile, u rather attract- ive, middle aged woman, whom her husband had 'represented lo the resi- dents ol'the vicinity as being the daugh- leroi'Cotnmodore Validerbilt. Sei'reoTy had they entered the bedroom where Livingston wished to go to pack up wiiiie articles nec.essci y lor ihc.juurney, then he sprang townids a loaded-revol- ver lying near! Tl.c detective was too quick for him, and without, further cer- emony he was handcuffed. Mrs. Liv- iimsionc,tiicnntii)iP,despatched the farm lands to obtain legal assistance in pro- curing a writ ol iiabes corpus for the lossessioti of th e prisoner. This man- oinre was also outflanked by the detec- tives, who harnessed a last jM,000 team of Livingston's to.a two-sealed buggy and spirited him off a distance^ ol seventy-five, miles lo Michigan Citv, where\ the train was laken for New York. Only $10,000 in money was re- coveted, which was all that remained, on account of the prodigal expenditures made, by this forger who wrote so per- fect an imitation of Commodore Vander- hilt's signature a s to attract no atten- tion from the bank officers. Detective Elder, who arrived safely in this city on Sut urdiiy morning with his prisoner, had precaution to have an attachment issued against the farm an d other properly in the name of the City Bank, so as to prevent their illegal transfer. A vast number ot the eluded lawyers employ- ed by Mrs. Livingston came to Chicago on Saturday, and were extremely non- plussed to find their client had been smug- gled, away. The prisoner, who says he was formerly a contractor on the Albany and Bosion, and other lines, is a florid, \horsey\ looking individual, with a remarkably strong dash of the shoddy element \in his character as well a s appearenco, for when ho stalk- ed about, a la Leasee, armed to the teeth, carrying a loaded whip, which he freely used on the backs of the laborers. On account ol his wife being the report- ed daughter of Commodore. Validerbilt, he was treated by his neighbors with great respect, an d regarded by them as a molded potentate.

The Newest Thing: in the Dootoring Line* The people of this county have had many novel examples ot deception practiced on them by medicine venders through their ignorance of the modus operandi. The deceived are always of luo»e who do not read the papers, and are not up to the tricks of sharpers.— A Dr. Newton from New York, lias astonished the unlived of Oswego by curing the lame, sick and halt by cer- tain invisible means, twiid to be electric ity. The Times gives tho following statement ol'the way il is done. It says : The crowd of patients would pass up on the platform on ono side, rc- cuive bis manipulations, bo pronounced cured and ordered to pass on. The mode of cure was something like this. A woman would come forward, and the Doctor would seize her by the hand, when tho following codiloquy would occur : Pool or—\ What is your complaint ?\ Patient—\Catarrh.\ Duel or—(Seizing the woman by the nose) •' C:it..ri'h depart from you 1 \ r ou are cured ! Pa-s on.\ Poelor—•'• Your disease?'' Young man—-\ Blind with on e eye.\ Doctor—(Kubbing the oy e designa- ted) \Blindness depart, you arc cured. Open your eye, yon can see a s well wilh that as with the other. How long have you been blind in that eye?\ Patient—\Ever since I wats two years old.\ Doctor—\This young man says ho has boon blind ever since he was two years old. lie is completely cured.— Ills eye i s well. Stand up, sir. Look at th e audience. Can you se e with the eye that was blind ?\' \ Young man declares ho can. Doctor—\You aro cured, pass on.\ The. Doctor insists that he ca n heal equally as well, with or without the faith (if tho patient, and that the prts eneo of the patient is not, necessary.— Distance is ot no consequence. Nnih.m Howies, a respectable citizen of Fulton, called on the Doctor in Syracuse in \behalf o f hi s wife, disease not staled, who had not boon able to leave her bod for the last six months. He only pre- sented her handkerchief. Tho Doctor at onco announced that Mrs. Rowlee was healed, an d that she had at that moment left her bed perfectly cured, and that she would on hi.t return greet him at tho door and say, \Nathan 1 nm cured.\ The Doetor\did not know Mr. HuwlecVi nnnie. They noted tho lime of day. On Mr. l.owlee's return she di d so\grcethim an d he found that at th o precise time noted, Mrs. Rowlee did spring lrom her bed, and declared that a t that moment, Dr. Newton was curing her, anil that she was completely cured'. Airs. Rowlee came forward at Mead's Hall, yesterday, and affirmed the truth of this statement meeting Dr. Newton there then for the first time. The Pulladium evidently don't take any stock in the marvellous cures said to have been pel formed by this doctor, and in speaking of the same exhibition attended b y the Timas 1 reporter, says of it as follows : But they wore cured, the doctor said, and that was all about it. After a good deal of just such abominable nonsense, the humbug announced that he would with one fell swoop anuihiliute till dis case of every kind that was in the hall. He went through sonic further hugger mugger, and announced Unit every on e in the hall was cured, and this with a mixed benificencc and pompous self- sufficiency that disgusted till but the dupes. That such a bold imposition can have the slightest chance for suc- cess in our community is in itself a source of humiliation lo all right mind- ed people. rom an ev«ry US?\11 yoiTf lm*i«i«Ks i* dull, and you can soil cheap advertise in the Lewis Conn tv Democrat.

Attach a piece\\of metal (say a shilling) to a thread. Having placed your elbow o n a table hold the thread between the points of the thumb an d fore finger, and allow the shilling to hang in the centre of a glass tumbler ; the pulse will imme- diately cause the shilling to vibrate like a pendulum, and the \ibrations will in- crease until the shilling strikes the sides of the glass; suppose the time of exper- iment to be seven or halt past seven, the pendulum will sti ike the glass seven times,and then lose its momentum and then return to the centre. I f you hold the thread a sufficient length of time, the. effect will bo repeated ; but until a suffic'uitit space'of time has elapsed to convince you that tho exeperiment is complete. We need not add that the thread musl be held in a steady hand, otherwise tho vibrating motion would bo counteracted. At whatever hour of ihe day or night the experiment is made, the coincidence will be tlio same. -«»•«>• KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.—That in 184H, under Democratic management, the. State government expenses were $750,000. In 1866, under Republican management, the State expenses were THREE MILLIONS, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! <in» READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS.—The man who does not read the advertise- ments in his paper can never be said to be well informed. The advertisements indicate not only the business enter- prise, but the enterprise of the adver- tiser. When you see a man who ad vertises liberally, yon may be certain of finding a good stock of goods in his store, that ho keeps up with the market, Well-to-do Clergman. The contest between wealth and pov> erty, exhibited so frequently in New York, reaches even the sacred precincts of tho church. While on the ono hand there aro neatly 30 ward missionaries, laboring hard oh salaries of $800 per annum, finding it no easy matter to keep body and soul together, thoro is on the other hand amonied aristocracy in tlio pulpit which holds its own even in the circle of capital. Dv. Spring, of tlio brick chinch, in said to bo worth $200,000. lie began tho world wjj.h, nothing, but being of an economical turn ho laid by a portion of his salary and made some good investments. The doctor enjoyed the friendship and pat ronago of'Shepard Knapp, President of tho Mechanics' Bank who is ono of the shrewdest men in Hew York. Mr.' Knapp vvas a member of his fioidc and gavo good business advioo in return for tho solid sermons of tho divine. As a result, D>\ Spring, in his latter days, enjoys a fortune whoso annual dividend would exceed tho highest dreams of tho clergy generally. The Episcopal clergy aro well provided for, and the late Dr. Berrian left a property valued at #300,000. Drs Iligbie and Flix are both well-to-do in tho world, and Dr. Tavlor, ot Grace Church, is fully able to keep the wolf from tho door. Among the Dutch body old Dr. Dewit may be lvf'ered to as paying a tax on an income ot §12,000. He owns the house ho oc- cupies, mid ho got rich out of the peace- ful accumulation of his forty years pas- toiaie. Another ofthe rich divines of New York is Dr. Vermilye, also of the Dutch ord;r. The Vertnilyes^ arc a wealthy family, whoso history is thus •riven: Many years ago, there wan a sexton of that name who attended a lit tie Dutch Church on Vandowater street. Ho had several bright sons, one of whom he contrived to educate for the ministry. Tho others became business men. One of them got to be wealthy cashier ot a bank, and another succeeded as a broker and made a half million. Tho clerical member of the house was put in an opulent, pulpit, and with the aid and advice of his brothers, has so improved opportunities that ho is now reckoned the richest clergyman in the city. All of these men aro D. D.'s, a title which in this case seems very appropriate, since it may stand tor \dollars \dollars.\ Other clergy men are dotting rich. Beecher is now bettor off than most of his wealthy COn- trretration, and Chapin is making money by lecturing at $76 .per night, in addi- tion to $7,000 per annum for his pulpit services. Dr. Bellows is another weal thy diviive of the Unitarian order, while Dr. Tyng and Dr. Adams are also rich. — ^**«.»« > — The Situation in Europe. Spite of tho pleasant speeches of*lhe Emperor Napoleon, the minds ot peo- ple in Franco and Prussia are by no means settled. The warlike prepara- tions at the Cam)) of'Chalour, and tho fact that Marshal Niel made the following remarks to the troops stationed there : \Yon have been studying the theory of war,—you will soon becme familiar wilh its practito,\ are deemed menacing. Of course the Marshal would not make such a declaration without some reason therefor, and naturally enough the troopB and the nation take it for grant- ed that ere long there will be war with Pinssia. On tho other hand the joua- nnls and the Government of the King- dom see what is threatened, and from their tone aro quite prepared to stand the brunt ofthe coming storm, spito of tho fact that the ncv/.portalo guns now at ihe disposal of tho Emperor Napo- leon have been repeatedly tried at the military fort of Vincennes, and have proved terribly effective. It is said that some Prussian officers in disguise at- tempted to witness the experiment made with these engines of destruction, but wore detected and sent out of the country by the French police. \There is much annoyance expressed in the Prussian journals at the tact that whereas their forces have been entirely withdrawn from Luxemburg, the. French are assembling an army corps of sixty thousand troops on the fron- tiers of that Duchy. The fact seemed queer to the Prussians, and they are naturally suspicious thereat. JLJoth in France and in Prussia, the money mar- kets, these great nat'onal pulses, beat loo slowly. There is universal dis- trust and stagnation of business; in short, people evidently think that there must be war, aud, doubtless out of this very conviction, war will grow, even were it not intended, a fact by no means probable. It is not complimen- tary to the Emperor Napoleon that these alarms should follow so closely upon his pacific declarations al Amiens and Lille, but that suoh a slate of affairs exists, there can be no doubt. It is probable thatthe uncertainty will continue until next Spring, and that at that time the struggle, which is deemed inevitable, will commence.

Wo soo, in numerous outrages commit- led by tho black* in the South, the spectacle of liberty run into licentious- ness. In Alabama the blacks have over fifteen thousand majority of registered votes; in Louisiana they have over thirty eight thousand majority; in North Carolina they aro running largely ahead of the whites—in South Carolina they have already twenty-five thousand ma- jority—in Mississippi they have a large majority; in Florida their majority is as two to one; in Georgia they art, four thousand ahead. Tbe whites have a majority in Virginia, and probably will have in Arkansas and Texas—only three out ot the ten Southern Slates. Knowing that tho blaoks have the ad- vantage in point of numbers in the States abovo named, the Radicals are moving to seouro their superiority by insisting upon thoir being appointed to or nominated for federaal ana local offi- ces. Tho State Conventions, State Legislatures, oilier local official posi- tions, the Congress of the United States, and even tho White House at Washing- ton, aro hold out to these uncivilized and untutored blacks as objects fit for their aspirations, States reconstructed upon this system will become sirrfply waste lands, in which the ignorant or those in an incipient or in a perfect state of bar- barism, or both, will be the rnlingspir- its, or they will become like Jamaica— scenes' of interminable disorders and outrage. Sambo will bo sovereign. The white men will be nowhere. Mahy ot them are now excluded by the laws of Congress from voting, as they will hereafter be debarred from the privilege of holding office in these negro-ridden Slates. That tho radical power in Congress is revolutionary we see in these political affiliations ofthe radical'whiles with tho ignorant blacks of tho South. Send blacks as representatives to Congess, and it will be but an affort to organize barbarism, anarchy and revolution.\ How can lovers of the Union and tho Constitution—lovers of good govern- ment—uphold the actions of a Congress* which places any portion of our coun-' try in such a deplorable condition ? The progress of civilization is making rapid strides backwards, under such legisla- tion, and the deluded supporters of Congress will recognize the truth only when it is too late.
