Crittenden, who is well-known tn Washington, was U.S. consulat Liverpool in 1850. While there he bought a watch for himself and one for his wife. His only son, John J. Crittenden, entered the army. To him General Crittenden gave the Liverpool watch. Young Crittend#n ‘was not in the cavalry, but volunteered to join General Custer. He was at the disastrous fight on the Little Big Horn and was among the main; who died there. His parents recovered no trinket or anything that he had about him. A 1 who fell were plundered by the Sloux y strange and unexpected means, the watca which General Crittenden gave his only boy has just been returned to him. Under date of Port- age La Prairie, April 28th, E. W. Gigot, of the Home Bay Company, wrote to General sher- man. In that letter he said: “Sometime tn July last a gold watch was offered for sale to me by a French half-breed by name of Sea- dieux. This man stated that he had purchased the watch from a Sioux Indian, who told him that he had taken the watch from an American officer whom he had killed, leux was not Sure whether it was at the Custer fight, in the Roseboro’ valley, or at one of the many skir- mishes before or after it. The watch is a gold hunting watch and bears the name of the man- ufacturer, ‘Robert Roskell, Liverpool,’ and 1s numbered 54,789. Thinking that I might be the means of returning this watch to the relatives of the poor fellow who had been. killed, I pur- chased it, paying therefor only the small sun of three do} aes being the same amount 13 the half-breed: paid to the Sioux. The Watch ts more or less battered and the works are partly destroyed, still the case 1s of 18 karat gold, and the gold value of itis from $25 to $30.” Mr. Gigot also said that he at once wrote to Roskell & Co. to find out if ssible to whoin they sold the watch. He recelved a reply say-, ing: “We have referred to our books and find \ that the gold hunting watch, named Rob’t Kos- Kell, Liverpool, and numbered 54,789, alluded 10 in your letter of 17th ulto., was sold by us to a Mr. Crittenden July 15, 1850, and he bought a lady’s gold watch at the same time. NO ad. ress, unfortunately, is given in our books with the purchaser's name.” “He mentioned the cic. cumstances and showed Liverpool firm to the Rev. Henry George. ‘That and that of some during the Seemed familiar, officer in the United States army di the hat He next looked up the U. s.

THEIR COMBINATION TO GET OFFICE — REVOLT AGAINST TRE QUARTETTE—ONE OF THE FOUR ENIFED—THE OTHERS MARKED FOR SLAUGHTER. (Correspondence of The Evening Star.) St. Lovts, Mo., Nov. 10, ‘The defeat of Col. Phillips for Congress in the seventh district of this state by Rice, a republi- can greenbacker, was a great surprise to every- body. The district has been considered reliably democratic, usually giving 2000 or 3,000 ma- jority for that ticket. When the returns were received it appeared that Col. Phillips had run behind his ticket and that, too, in democratic strongholds like Lafayette county. This was still more ofa puzzle. Phiilips isan able man and has made an excellent representative in Congress. It was evident that some reason existed for his loss of democratic votes and the secret is now ascertained by a few leading democrats who have been tnquiring into the matter. In order to explain it we must go back a few years in the political history of Mis- sourl. After the liberal movement, headed by Gratz Brown and others, had overthrown re- publican ascendency 1a the state, and restored ex confederates to the right of suff the democrats took control of political affairs. Crit- tenden, an ex-union colonel, and Cockrell, an ex-confederate general, formed a law pattuer sbip, and located at Warrensburg. Patl- ps, an ex-unfon colonel, and Vest, an ex-con- federate, formed another law firm at Sedaita. Tkese were prominent democrats and able law- yers, atd both firms sooa obrained considerable political innuence. The democracy were strong and the two law firms—the most promineat and powerful outside of St. Louls—became rivals for poiltical power. Phillips and Crittea- den competed several es for the nomination for Congress in the 7th district, first one and then the other winning alternately. Two years ago Col. Crittenden’s friends pret torun him for goveraor fn 1889, and in pursuance of this plan peace was made between the r! r we Meantime Gen. Cockrell was ¢! the Seda gress to fill the yacanc was elected to Con aused by the death of r. Lay. Several months ago Col. Crittenden, the only member of elther of the two firms not in office, Was nominated for governor of Mis- sourl, the nomination being equivalent to an ejection, The democrats of Missouri looked round, and discovered all four of the bright lawyers in honorable and lucrative po sitions, The rivairy between the firm3 had been suppressed tosome purpose. The demo. crats began to talk about the excellent man. agement of the firms that had made money out of law practice and high honors for four men at the same time, This talk spread, and was kept up until many democrats they would, when opportunity offered, lower the ambition of the quartette of lawyers. Col. Phillips was the first member of the firm at whom the voters got a chance, and they have defeated him for Congress; not because of any wrong he has done or because he has not given satisfaction, but more because they believed that the four lawyers had been for years plot- ung to oes themselves upward. The next one of the quartette who comes before the people is Gen. Cockrell. His term in the Senate ht the oppo sion to him ts active, and though he appears to have the in- side track, the same spirit thatdefeated Patllips seems to be growing. Democrats of the state ate saying that the two law firms are seeking te rule the party on the boss plan, and that i¢ must be put down. When these old country democrats get an idea in their head there is no swerving them. The members-elect of the legislature shake their heads significanuy. say “Frabk Cockrell is a mighty good man, but— there's jist as gocd as he,” and the last clause means a great deal. Note from Ex-Senator Dorsey. HE IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR ANY PLACE, New York, Nov. 12, 1880. Editor Star:—I observe that the Washington correspondents of a large number of papers have stated that I ama candidate for the sec- retaryship of the U. S. Seaate should that body be reorganizea after the 4thof March next. This isa mistake. I served as a member of the Senate for six years, and that fact alone, if there were no other reasons, would prevent me sheeting the subordinate position indicated. But beyond this, 1am not a candidate for that or any other place, and shall accept none, It the Senate should be reorganized on the 4th of March next or two years from that tims, and a new secretary is to be chosen, it seems to me that Mr. George C. Gorham ought to be selected to fill the position he occupied for eleven years with great credit to himself and honor to the Senate. If any change takes place the Senate will honor itself, its history and traditions mo e than it would Mr. Gorham, by restoring him to his old place. Very respectfully, S. W. Dorsey. The Matter of the WHAT PRESIDENT HAYES ADVISES. Mr. A. M. Clapp, Postmaster Angier and Mr. W. B. Reed, ofthe inauguration committee ap- pointed some days ago, called on the President thismorning. The President takes great fa- terest in the inauguration of General Garfietd. He advised his visitors that everything be done to avoid any collision in making preparations for the inauguration. The plan to be pursued should be such that it would bring about goo! relations with all interested in the ceremonies. One of the gentlemen who called on the Presi- dent told the reporter that the committee was first organized at the suggestion of the Prest- dent and General Sherman. Colonel Burnside and Mr. Creswell, also members of that com- tee, called this morning on General Sherman. He advised that the committee go rignt ahead. He sald the opposition develo} to it should be allowed to effervesce, and then everything would go on satisfactort! EXx-SENATOR STANLEY MATTHEWS, Of Oo, is at the Riggs House.

It—An End of the Fraud £ [Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—About as furious a set of people as you can meet this morning are the prominent democrats around the hotels. They agree in charging that the action of the execu- tive committee of the national democratic com- mittee last night was a piece of very bad policy; that the resolutions are meaningless and ab- surd, and 2 Qt supplement to Barnum’s blun- ders during the campaign. A prominent or. ator who canvassed this state and Indiana for Hancock says the resolu Uops are the subdlimity of nonsense. “If,” said be, *Uhet committee had not done so many idiotic things in the past, this couid be excused, but they have placed a fit cap-shear on ther history, and 1 hope the democratic party has heard the last of the executive co: mittee at least. The resolution suggesting that state cornuiiittes look into the frauds Is ridicu lous, because charged fraud in York city. The Apgar letter clearly Oned th ommmalttee’s: as for the representative coma te 3 great party passing reseiutions that It was no: responsible for the publication of the Morey let ter, after Circulating a miliion copies of it, and that they did not as a committee harbor tn their house two perjurers, but that the clerk ti charge did. fa the committe»’s absence, ts too absurd to deserve any consideration by thought- ful men. I am sorry, very sorry, the executive commitiee did anythin last night. And Mr. Hewitt, t the mess we are in by say that he has doubts as to the genuineness of the Morey letter; this after he sald his totimat+ personel friend Garfield wrote the letter, and ‘Stuck to it so long, is a surprise toms. Alto gether, I think our leaders have performed tue complete give away act to perfection.” There is one thing about the executive com miltee’s action that gives great satisfaction 1: business men,—the assurance thal unless the state committee here go into a fraud tavestiga- ton, the election of Garfield will not be ser. ously questioned. It ts already well known that the stat. committee ts content to let the matter rest where itis. THE RAILROAD WAR. The Contest Renewed Between Jay sould and Hlackstoue—Rates Cui Again. [Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) New York, Nov. 13.—The western railroad war Is again transferred here. Mr. Blackstone, Dresident of the Chicago and Alton road, says the late agreement did not give the Wabash One-third the passengers, and that he will not be bulidozed by Gould into any such under- Standing, and will not so construe the acree ment unless Gould divides the Kansas City pas sengers with the Alton. Jay Gould said this afternoon that the whole fight resolves itself into this: That the Chicago and Alton company was to take two-thirds of the Chicago aud Si. Louls business, and settle from that with the Illinois Central, the Wabash to have the other third; that when Mr. Blackstone got out there and found the Illinois Central people demanded One-third, they tried to break the New York agreement. The result is that rates are being cut again between Chi and St, Louis, and the fight will be livelier than ever, the Wabash poe demanding that the agreement be ful led. ARKANSAS CONGRESSMEN.

That there has not been a conflict seems due solely to the leaders of the land league, who have forsesight enough to avoid one just now.

Mr. Ruskin telegraphs that the extraordinary letter purporting to come from him, whica was read recently at the Chesterfield school of arts, isa forgery. The letter reads:—I have heard of Chesterfield. Hath it not a steeple abomins- tion, and is it not the home, if not the cradle, of that arch-atomination creator Steplenson ? To him are we indebted for the screeching and howling and shrieking fiends, fit only for a pan- cemonium, called locomotives, that disfgure the loveliest spots of God’s own land. The letter, however, is an excellent imitat of Ruskin’s style, and is really a parap! or the opinions.
