The feeling among Democrats is
naturally one of deep indignation.
There is little of loud denunciation,

Obtaining; Money Under Fraudulent
Pretenses " ' ' . lJ
A colored man by the name of Isaac
Stocks Was arrested yesterday, charged
with having obtained money under fraudu
lent pretense from one Albert Wells (not of
the Louisiana Returning Board). It ap
peared from the evidence that Wells ap-.
plied to a number of persons at a house pn
Brunswick,1 -between Second and ' Third
streets, abbuf 12 o'clock Friday night, for
change for a $3. bill; that Stocks proffered
to change the note, which was given into
his hands, when he gave him fifty cents
and two quarters in fractional currency and
what appeared at first glance to be a $1 bill,
but which proved unon a closer inspection
to be a revenue snuff stamp, very nearly of
the size of a one dollar note. Upon dis
covering the cheat, -Wells tried 'to get his
money back, tbut failed; whereupon he pro
cured a warrant for Stocks1 arrest. Upon
this evidence defendant was bound Over in
the sum of $100 for bis appearance at court.
Stocks, we learn, had previously borne a
good character. :
