AT the meeting of the County Council,
says the St. Thomas Journal, ono of the
members struck a key note when he said
he hoped the time was not far distant
when the law would bo amended so that
all statute labor taxes would be paid in
cash, and no one allowed to work ons his
statute labor, for then pathmasters could
be dispensed with and the keeping in re.
pair of the country roads be vested in a
commission, who would see that the
work was properly done. Nowadays
parties working out the statute labor do
more talking than working, and having
no knowledge of road -ranking, what
little they do do, often is of more damage
than benefit to the road. With the keep-
ing in repair of the roads vested in a
commission, who had the statute labor
in the shape of cash to expend, nearly
twice the amount of work could be done
much b -tier than under the present
system.

WASHINGTON, June'27, •Jo.
The disussion of the federal election
bill started off in a spirit of unexpected
calmness and deliberation. There was
pone of the excitmeut that was looked
for. The Democrats expect that the bill
will become a law and believe that its
effeot will be more serious upon the Re-
publican interests than upon the Demo•
orate. They will protest against the
raceme's as unjust, unwise and in. -x ted-
ient. They will make their protest as
earnest as possible, but they do not ex-
pect it to prevent the passage of the bill.
A large number of Republicans in the
House and a larger number in the Senate
look upon the ineasure es inexpedient.
This has led to the idea that the bill may
he defeated in the House and that it is
almost certain to fail in the Senate. It
does not appear, however, thee there will
be more than three or four Republican
members of the House who will vote
against their party. The argument
which weigha with Republicans, regard-
less of the views they may hold personal.
ly, is that alter their declarations in the
Chicago platform and all the talk during
the campaign about frauds in the south,
the Republicans of the country expect
them to show that they were in earnest
by the enactment of a law, and that it
will not do for this session to edict; •n
without passing a bill. How much in.
finance this argument will nave with the
Senators in a question, From Repub.
liean sources comes the drediatlon that
the Senate will not pass the bill, while
Democrats generally exp•ess s contrary
opinion. Gov. Campbell of Ohio, who
was in Washington yesterday on his way
to Naw York, is going to write an open
Letter on the subject of the federal edea.

mass meetings in the north against the
measure.
People who listen to the debates in
either House of Congress know haw fre.
quently some patriot raises his voice in
horror-sbruok reference to the pauper
labor of Europe, and protests against
anything and everything whish even in
the remotest degree may be suspected of
having a tendency to reduce American
workmen to the same deplorable condi.
tion. No one, of course, would imagine
that within the sound of these human.
itarian voices about the beautiful grounds
of the Capitol American workmen were
at that very instant digging, and raking,
and mowing, and comping for the miser-
able pittance of G2i. (ants a day. Yet
such is the fact. These laborers abort
the Capitol grounds are nominally em-
ployed at the rate of $1,25 a day, but no
they are allowed to work but half the
time their wages really amount to but
half that sum, Nob only is this the ease
but it is permitted to go on, despite the
fact that in 1869 Congress passed a law
that no' employe of the Government shall
be paid less than $2 a day. The work.
men deodare they cannot live on sixty
two and ahaif cents a day, certainly not
up to the high standard of American
living which is fixed by the spoeohes
which they hear throngh the open win-
dows nod doors of the Capitol so fre-
gmeutly when the pauper labor of Europe

quickly by a corner staircase was but a
moment's work, and the three were soon
rapidly treading their way through
crowded Nassau street.
At Printing House square the Shadow
parted from them, turning to the east.
Tom and Holbrook turned to the west
and crossed the City Hall park. Reach-
ing Broadway, Tom led the way to the
second floor of a building which faced
upon the post office.
Entering an office in the rear, a well
built man, whose frame was suggestive
of great strength, about forty-five years
old, arose and greeted Totu effusively.
This was the chief of the private de-
tective agency. Tom presented Hol-
brook and said:
"A word or two in private with you,
chief."
"This catty then, Tom." They entered
a small room in which there were a few
chairs and a table,
"I wmmt a forco of five picked men,"
said Tont,
"All right, Tont," replied the chief.
"Anything you wont I'm bound to sup-
ply if I can. 1 owe ,you too much to
disregard any request of yours. What's
the job?"
Tent rapidly sketched the fact of rho
abduction, saying nothing, however, of
tike events which had preceded it.
"You will see," said Tom, finishing
his recital, "that we want your best
men. Why can't you head the forco
yourself?"
"I can and wiIl," replied the chief.
"Have you made any plans of attack?"
"No, very few. I have sent niy Sha-
dow, Ire's one of your old men, up to 10.
oate the house if he can. He is to meet
us here as Boon as he has done his work.
Then I thought we would bo governed
somewhat by what he reports. We
ought not to go up there before 0 o'clock,
I think."
To this Holbrook demurred as an un-
necessary delay. But Tom was now sup-
ported by the chief's judgment, and
Holbrook was compelled to yield.
"We can lay our plans and arrange
the details when we hear what the Sha-
dow has to report," said Tom. "In the
meantime, Holbrook, Airs. Templeton's
anxiety should be relieved. It would bo
a humane action to let her know."
In this Holbrook aoquiesced, and pro-
posed to go there forthwith.
Tom said laughing: "I'll go up with
you. You aro not in a fit frame of mind
yet, and may commit an act of indis-
cretion which would ruin us,"
Holbrook was annoyed, but at bottom
he felt that Tom was right.
So descending to the street they found
a cab and drove off.
When they reached the boarding house
of the Templeton, Holbrook entered,
and Tom remained in the cab. A news-
boy passed, and Tom purchased a paper,
with which he busied himself. He had
hardly interested himself in the first tele-
graphic item, when Holbrook dashed
down the steps, his face pale, and greatly
agitated.
"What's the matter now?" exclaimed
Tom.
"Mrs. Templeton has gone."
"Tho old lady? Gone? Where?"
"Annie sent for her; the messenger
said shehad broken her leg, having fallen
while out."
"It's another part of the plot," cried
Tom. "blow could the old lady have
been so foolish as to go after she knew
Annie had been enticed away out of the
house by a forgery."
"Do you think it's a part of the plot?"
"I am sure of it. But this fa getting
to be a deep one."
"She may have been taken to the sante
place that Annie was," ventured Hol-
brook. .
"No," said Tom, "the scoundrels would
never dare two abductions in the open
daylight in the same neighborhood. I
tell you, Holbrook, these aro no common
scoundrels. They win on their boldness,
Who was the messenger?"
"A woman—a respectable looking wo.

I e that in tltres of
them, at least,
there was 110 possible chance for her con-
finement. IIs had succeeded in making
an examination so conclusive that there
could be no possible doubt of it.
It was then, for the first time, that the
thought crossed Tout's mind that the
note received might possibly be a ruse to
mislead them, and so expressing, himself
he asked to see the slip of paper again,
1'o Holbrook rho thought was torture
itself, Ho had in his possession a brief
note from Annie concerning the author-
ship of which them could be no doubt.
Ho made a comparison, and the penman-
ship was quite evidently dissimilar,
Hanford, the chief, pointed out that
the comparison would bo of little value.
In the one iustance the note was written
on fine paper, with excellent pen and
ink, at leisure and under no excitement,
while in rho other it was written on
coarse paper, with a common lead pen-
cil, and evidently under the greatest ag-
itation, hurriedly and perhaps covertly.
Holbrook, whose high hopes bad fallen
on failing to distinguish any resom-
biance, brightened on hearing the chief's
words.
The chief pointed out further that all
the probabilities were in favor of the
authenticity of the note; that it was
quite unlikely, however able the con-
spirators were, Iltat they would have
written a note so brief, so hurried, and
which bore such evident traces of agitw
Hon. On the contrary, had it been the
intention to throw any one off the scent,
the latter would have tried to do more
than Oils hurried scrawl had done, and,
further, that it must net be forgotten
that those hounds would scarcely seelc
to inform the friend who could give the
most efficient help of her abduction be-
fore he was likely to find it out, as would
be the case if they took that view of it,
since the boy had evidently been wailing
at the office from a time very close to
that of their departure to airs. Temple -
ton's house, where they first' learned the
news, On the other side they had only
the expression of Tom's shrewd fears
that it might be so to lead them to sup.
poso that it was a„ruse.
The argument of the chief could not
be answered, and so they fell to arrang-
ing the details.
The Slusdow submitted that the danger
of an open attack upon the attic in ques-
tion was, Haat the inmates with their
prize could take to the roof and make
their escape through adjoining buildings.
He had penetrated far enough into the
fourth house without detection, to find
that the stairs leading to the attic floor
were inclosed and the door looked.
He suggested, therefore, that some of
the party ought to force their way into
the attic of an adjoining houso whether
the inmates liked it or not, and thus talcs
possession of the roof, while the rest
should storm the apartment in the other
house.
The chief strongly favored this plan
as the only one which insured success.
There were eight fn the party, and, so
as not to attract attention, it was deter-
mined that they should rendezvous ata
neighboring saloon, known to the chief,
proceeding thither in couples. All were
to be well armed, for resistance was to
be expected.
On arriving, three, with Tom leading,
were to enter the adjoining house near-
est the corner and, rushing up, take pos-
session of the attic, and after n signal
had been received from Tom's party, the
others led by the chief, well supplied
with "jimmies,” were to make an as-
sault on the house where Annie 1500 con-
fined. Holbrook was to be with the lat-
ter party,
Holbrook and Tom went up together,
and tailing a cab across town were on the
ground earlier than the rest.
They left the cab, after having given
instructions to the cabman to station
himself in I3ayard street half way down
the block, and there await orders.
Guarding themselves as much as pos-
sible from observation, they strolled into
the street and located the house in ques-
tion. They were slightly disguised, and
thought they risked nothing.
They had passod'tho house but a few
paces when Holbrook felt a tug on the
skirts of his coat, 1.10 looked down and
saw a ragged little boy whom Ito took for
a beggar, and was about to drive him
away when rho lad said:
"13e you gain' to trash him now? Ilo
ain't up dere,"
Ilolbrook. would have spoken harshly
to him, sit as to rid himself of floe an-
noyance, when Tutu whispered:

Then epott ivy, to the boy, ho said:
"Come hero whit ate," and led the
71117 into it neighboring passage, where
they could partially conceal themselves
by the door,
