To Ote Eii'or of the N. 0. Tiwes :
Will you permit me through your col-
uros to Bcna a word of warning to the
public against a scheme of swindling
which is now extensively practiced in
the United States-?
Since my call to the English bar hun-
dreds of letters have reached roe from
Louisiana and other parts of the Union,
written by persona, many of whom are
educated and intelligent, making in-
quiries relativo to estates represented
as existing in this country unclaimed,
and awaiting the appearance of heirs
residing in America. In every instance

made for the purpose of defrauding par-

On the whole, the letter of the absent
Colonel is rather interesting, and proves
that he still holds on to the universal
suffrage faith. We trust Maj. Longley
will yet follow th«| lend of his senior
officer, and conclude to let us poor
"rebels," who cannot hold office, at
least vote for the " fittingest man," as
Hop. Turney once said.

P While the Houston Telegraph at-

the assertion of the pretended claim.
0 o case may be selected as an exam-
ple : 'A banker by the name of James
Wood died in Gloucester, in the year
1880, leaving a fortune of about £800,-
00p. His will was tfie subject of much
litigation, but finally decided to be va-
lid, and the estate was ordered to be
divided among the legatees, ufider the
decision of the House of Lords, in 1847.
Any one desirous of having particulars
of the litigation can trace it through
tlje different courts as follows : 1. I
the iWogative Court of, Canterbury,
reported in SCúrteis , p. 82. 2. On ap-
peal to the Privy Council, in 2 Moore's
Privy Council Cases, at p. 855. Aud
8. In the House ot" Lords, in the case
entitled " The Corporation of Glouces-
ter vs. Osborne," i House of Lords
Cases, pagffl 272. Although his estate
has thus been finally settled and distri-
buted for more than twenty years, I do
not at all exaggerate in stating that
not a month passe* without my receiv-
ing one or more letters from persons
who are approached by some pretended
agent of some imaginary great firm of
London solicitors, engaged in seeking
for the heirs of the great intestate
banker, Jas. Wood, whose fortune,
amounting to ten millions sterling, is
lying in the Bank of England, awaiting
a claimant. , • r - ...
The usualmode of proceeding adopt-
ed p to propose the busi-
ness free of expense, the proposer to
receive only a share of what may be
recovered. This seems so reasonable
than In most cases the dupe readily
swallows the bait. A short timé after-
wards he is informed that all inquiries
and researches have resulto J favorably,
and that nothing is wanted to insure
success except the cost of a few copies
of records and othor papers, and that
the proposer having already incurred
great expense in conducting the neces-
sary inquiries and researches is left
without resources at the very moment
when a few pounds would suffice to se-
cure the fruits of hia labor and expendi-
ture. Many are the victims from whom
sums, varying from twenty to five hun-
dred pounds, have beoti thus extracted^
and the number of persons engage l in
this system must be very gvoat, and
the sums received by them very con-
siderable, if at all in proportion to the
number of letters received here on the
subject. Many thousands of pounds are
known to have been expended by those
who could ill afford ta bear the loss in
nng.

A couple of persons, styling them-
selves agents of Heaven, have been up
W:' 'SiiifiCi j Tirng during the
week past. On Thursday last a
crowd of excited people were assem-
bled by their strange antics. They
had intruded themselves, into the
Chamber of a sick m n, and pretending
to cure him, had demanded an exorbit-
ant sum for the service they claimed
they had pe-formed. The occurence
took placo at the house of Geo. E. F.
Bullard, a prominent lawyer of the
city, who has been ill for several weeks
ancl in consequence, very much enfee-
bled mentally as well as physically.—
These Spiritualists or clairvoyants, a
man and woman named ^Manchester,
who have been boarding since last No-
vember at a house on Grand Division
street, preteudiug to receive messages
from Heaven in relation to earthly af-
fairs and to heal the sick, having doubt-
less beard of General B.'e condition,
went to his bedside this morning, and
after «"«'•«■y .nausea and incantations,
declared that he was that moment
made a whole and perfect man. They
demanded the sum of $160 for their
services, iirfais «u-
feebled condition, expressed a willing-
ness to pay. The spirits then demand-
ed the sum of $1000, when some of
the members of the household inter-
fered and sent for the police to protect
the unfortunate man from being victim-
ised by the deluded creatures.
They demanded the money within
thirty minutes, or declared that the pa-
tient would die within that time. When
the police came they made the same
threats of death agaiust them, but.
Sergeant Allen and Patrolman Lamp-
hero laid their sacrilegious hands upon
them, aud took them to the station-
house, followed by a large crowd of
people. Here they aro at present con-
fined in the detective office, where
they are visited by numbers of people,,
and are performing their incantations
for the amusement of all who desire to
witness tbom. Both are evidently
crazy, that, at least, is the most lenient
construction we can place upon their
conduct and professions. The woman
is quite pretty, and about thirty yeais
of age. They made several men
"whole" in the station-house, afld ex-
pressed a willinguess to kiss anyone
who desired to live forever. She
claims to have received a communica-
tion heaven foretelling the most won-
derful events soon to hspp«n in Wash-
ington that ever occurred in this coun-
try. Grant is to be assassinated, and
other terrible things are to happen;
But like a true woman, she has infonn-
Grant of the scheme against his life,
and warned him to avoid the fate of
Lincoln. The parties came from
Chlemsford, Mass., and desire to go
back home. The police hold on to
them, however, to await any complaint
that may bo made against them.

The Nesfro versus White Immi-
grants.
Curiously enough the threatened "an-
tagonism of races" proceeds first from
the newly manufactured colored citi-
zens of the South. Curtis Pollard,
represented by the New Oiieaue Bee
as a "coal-black negro, with kinky
hair, thick lips, and feet the size of a
sauee-pan," and actually representing
the parish of Madison in the Senate of
Louisiana, has made a speech in which
he declared that "he was not in favor
of immigration—that there were
enough immigrants here already, and
to invite mere was to crowd out such
as he." Thus doos Pollard express
his repugnance to the immigration of
csrpct baggers, nho muy crowd him
from the Senate, and to the immigra-
tion of white laborers, who may yet
crowd him from hi inore legitimate
"field" on some cotton or sugar plant-
ation.—^ York World.
