An old man with a blunt scythe wis : trying to how them down yesterday. This extravagant oxpmidituro of . ' the county funds will doubtless jeopardize ? t < ie Chances of re-cloctlon for some of tbe odinmlssioners.

Park Commissioner Graham yesterday laid a document on the county recorder's desk with a request to have it duly recorded. An examination of the instrument showed that it was a quit claim deed conveying to him thirty-three lots In what is now Fair- mount park. Is it possible that Park Commissioner Grn- 1mm has Joined the guny of grubbers , and is bunt on wresting the beautiful Falrmount park from the city i It looks so. In the same bundle of documents in which this deed was placed appears another , a quit claim , covering other lots In the park , and in this deed the city Is the ono which acquires whatever real or fancied rights the signers of the deed have heretofore hold. Tb cre's something up. Tnu 13KB , to satisfy the curiosity of Its readers , has been making inquiries , ami learns that Commissioner Graham has been really acting in tba interests of the city. He has been gutting quit claims on a large portion tion of the lots In the park , in order to quiet all possible trouble about title. Ho Is said to have already proiwred a deed conveying to the elt ? the rights which ho hiu thus secured , and. that when the propel1 time comes , and those who howl , howl notnorc , ho wilt convey to the city , thus making the city's title all right. It appears that the other deed ivas the ie- suit of the energy of Mayor Hohrer , who se cured m Missouri BOUIO quit claims for the city.This This will rather complicate affairs for those who are seeking' to make the city glvo up Fnlrmount park , to buy them something to < | iiie.t titles. The city now has In various Ways an undisputed title to more than half the lotIn Falrmount park , and the light over the others Is said to have no very hopeful look for these who arc opposing the city's in terests. The city still occupies Falrmount park. Buy a 400-auro farm near the city of J. O. Tipton and make $10.000. Money loaned at L. 13.

Crofts , pastor of the Congre gational church of this city , has received a very llatterlng call to become pastor of a chtinh in Kansas City. The call In ono sense cannot he rightly termed Muttering , for the reverend gentleman has ability and char acter sunicicnt to till nny of the Kansas City pulpits. Council Bluffs can hardly spare him just yet , und not only his church , but the community ut large , saints and slnifers , would protest against his removal from this city. It is not known what answer Mr. Crofts will make to the call , which Is very urgent , und in some respects rather tempt ing. Ho hns been absent from the city , nnd hence his views on the mutter cannot bo given now. It Is gratifying to his uianj friends and admirers to Have his worth rcc- ogni/cd by such a call , but they confidently hope that he will not deem it best to accept.

The bonds re- luired were for (40,000 , nnd the attorney spent some time among his acquaintances se curing tneso , and finally had to give it up. He found that it would bo necessary llrst to 70 over to Omaha , and so gave directions to let the affair rest until ho informed the sheriff differently.

The Council Bluffs folks can appreciate the following sample , which is going the rounds of the democratic press , nnd which , as all knowhcic , is so fur from having any semblance of truth to it that It is not worth while to attempt to point out Its many details of gross departure from the facts : A party of negroes , wearing the livery of the protection party , assaulted a colored speaker for tariff reform at Council Bluffs Monday night. Their language was of n character that would bo dignilled if called Billingsgate. Not satisfied with this proceed- uro they proceeded to cruelly beat A. T. Whlttelsoy , editor of the Globe , who remon strated with them. To such dire straits Is the party of protection coma that It needs must enforce Us vile edicts by means of ncrowil of drunken roughs.

Tali-oil , familiarly known as 'Pop' Talcott , now the elec trician at the capital. Of the ton or liftcun operators engaged in tlio ollice then there are now living W. II. Young , William McKrccly , Fred Royce. Will Snjiler and Andy Johnson the tailor , though , was then a messenger boy. " WIIM.VO TO THKIH SOI'TIIUIX ritlKNM ) < > . "Much iii the way of news prior to the war never gotout , " the old operator continued. "The southern people frcolv used the line and kept up u correspond ence with their friends south up to the hour of leaving. The government was aware of this for Messrs. F. W. Wnlker and Z. K. Pangborn , two northern cor respondents , informed Mr. Stantou , then the attorney general uiiilui- Presi dent Buchanan , that the wires wore being used for treasonable purposes. They were informed that the adminis tration was fully aware of the fact , luil could find no constitutional authority to proyenl it. \ \ hen the question of se ceding was being discussed , a dispatch was sent by several of Virginia's repre sentatives to the people of Norfolk and vicinity urging them toaci/othe Brook lyn as Virginia's portion of the United Stale * navy. Senator Wigfall of Texas never denied that he had used the tele graph , and was wont to say jokingly that he had. committed treason enough over the wires to hang forty men. "After the inauguration of Mr. Lin coln'continued the veteran , "the tem per of the people hero was feverish. Large numbers of the old Washington families , having southern connections , sympathi/.ed with the southern people , but in the early part of the war Ihc largo majority , while not approving of coercive measures , were willing to light for the defense of the capital , and a prompt response was made to the call for troops for that purpose. A few troops from the regular army wore in the city a company of sappers and miners , three batteries of artillery , the ord nance company at the arsenal and the marines. To these wore added about tiiil)0 ) district men accepted lorthe three months' service , after the fall of Fort Sumter. By the way , speaking of Sum- tor reminds mo that some years ago a correspondent related that during the month preceding the fall of Sumtor ho was in constant communication with Governor Pickons , of South Carolina. He , however , did not toll the whole story and perhaps did not know it. His custom was to go to the otllco after it had clobcd for the nignt and a friendly operator would send and receive dis patches for him. They were not destroyed and wore left on the paper strip. Another operator'catching on' to the scheme , took the correspondence every morning and sent it to the proper oillcers of the government. In this way President Lincoln and his cabinet wore kept informed of the preparations for opening the ball at Sumter. THIS XKW'I KHOSI TOUT Hl'MTRK. "It is not perhaps known , " he wont on , "that an attempt was made to keep the fall of Sumtor , on April IS , from the government as long as possible. Communication was cut oil' between this city and Richmond , and the govern- moiit had no direct news till in the eve ning. In the afternoon , however , the Into Patrick Crowley received a private dispatch from his two sons , then at Corilonbville , Va. , announcing the fact. They .had built the telegraph line to thai point. The fact that tlio govern ment had not received such news up to thai hour caused iloubt as to the cor rectness of Mr. Crowloy's information ; but from this dispatch the report rap idly spread and caused much excite ment. In a short time it bcomcd as if every man. woman and child know the news. The immediate result was to quicken the military spirit , and in a little time the war dopartmonl had mustered in over thirty companies from the district. The question with the young men then was not as to the cause of the war , but the safety of the' capi tal. "Colonel Whitoloy , " continued the telegrapher , "was then correspondent of the.New York Herald , and also editor of the Ballimoro Clipper , with a consid erable following in the Monumental City , having been identilicd with the American , or Know-nothing oltimcnt. lie immediately applied to Hue-rotary Cameron for authority to raise a brigade of Marylanders , and agreed to do so at once If quarters and rations wore pro vided as fast as the enlistments were made. Mr. Camron declined to accept this oiler , but expressed his willingness to provide for them as fast as regiments wore recruited and presented for mua- tor. The news of the adoption of the ordinance of secession by the Virginia convention lor submission to the people , and of Jolt Davis' proclamation offering letters of marque on April 17 , was re ceived by us , but was not given out , and no dispatches were posted. Through the Associated Press and the papers tlio public was advised. Tlio arrival of about -100 Pennsylvania ! ! troops on April 18 gave bomo confidence to the union people , for this was the llrst in stallment under the call of the presi dent for 75,000 men Issued April 15. From time to time next day news was re"- celvcd of the movement of troops , but none arrived , and lute in the day the lolcgraph ofllco wag closed ( o all pi-fvnla business. THi : lUl.TtMOItn IMOT. "When the attack on the Sixth Massachusetts regiment In BiilUmnrc , en route to this city , was mfulo the mob toolt po 40 t < ion of the telegraph olllco Ihoro , ami , as they pupptMoil , cut all Iho wires. There were , however , two wires loft uncul. As soon as Sec retary Cameron learned of this mob ho became anxious to communicate \\ith Colonel WhHoley , aud he dh-cctcil the telegraph company to lit id him and wire him that his proposition would be ac cepted. Colonel Whitelcy was found in Philadelphia , and in reply telegraphed 'It is too late. They are now all on the other side. ' It there had been less red tape in this instance the mob might have been prevented. Then followed suspense and the cagorhcss for news from the north waiunprecedented. Re ports came that a confederate force was marching on Washington. The wires had been cut north and outh. Finally the Seventh Now York regiment , hav ing como by waj of Annapolis , appeared mill as they marched direct from the depot to the prosliluiilftV the entire loyal population turned out to see them "Did jou ever hoar that a plan was made to wreck the train on which they came from Annapolis . ( unction V Wolf , there was such a plot. Out on the rail road is a deep cut. There wns an old cannon in possession of the country people ple \\lio fornun-ly belonged to a volun teer company. This gun wns hastily mounted on u pair of wagon wheels , anil was to have boon stationed s-o as to com mand the cut. A party \v\- : detailed to tour up the rails , ami when the train was wrecked the cannon wns to let into them. Two ( icrmuus who were in the plot wciv overheard talking of it by some of the ( Jormun soldiers of UiK citj then guarding the railroad , and they at once informed the authorities. 1 don't know but 1 have a copy of a dispatch which conllrms this statement. "About the time the movement was made on Alexandria , ' " said the voli-ruii , "the war department appointed a con- sinto supervise the dispatches , and this occasioned much complaint , not because of the unwillingness of correspondents to comply with any reasonable request from the government , but because of the \\nnt of coulidence in some of tlio men employed in the censorship. Ostensibly the object wn to prevent the publication of matter thai might embar rass the operations of the government , but some of the government dispatches wore about as wild as Iho most sen a- tional correspondent could , wake thorn. TIIIHATTI.IS : or nrui nrx. "When the first buttle of Bull Run was fought , .luly 21 , 1SU1. the telegraph line was up about half wa.\anil up to the time the union retreat'commenced the telegraph ollice was crowded with business dispatches coming in giving glowing accounts of the performance of the federal troops. Then orders were received from the war department to cut off all communication. Mr. Raymond mend , of the New York Times , had been sending dispatches all day , ami on being refused further use of the wires , went to Secretary Cameron to bog the privilege of sending a dispatch to his wife. Mr. Cameron listened to his appeal to be permitted to ncml merely the words. "I inn well , " to allay any fours his wife might have in not hearing from him , but ho would not relent. The correspondents commenced to ar rive in the evening , ami had we been allowed , wo would have had as much as we coulil do. The orders were , however , imperative. Mr. Painter , of the Philadelphia Inquirer , , was among the correspondents , and on being refused , rushed out , took a hack to the depot and inailo a train to Phila delphia , arriving in time to have in the morning Inquirer a full account of the battle. The morning after the battle General Scott sent a dispatch to Gen eral McClollan , then in Wcsl Virginia , as to McDowell's reverse , stating the looses in killed , wounded and prisoners as 14,000. Then we were allowed to open the office , but were cautioned not allow any dispatches to btato the losses nt a greater llguro than these in General - oral Scott's dispatch. I have never seen things more chaotic.

OISTTINQ AVAU NIWS . "Tho Washington papers took their news from the Associated Press and from Iho departments , and in fact , wherever they could got it. It was sur prising sometimes how news was ob tained , for at limes Iho officers wore exceedingly reticcnl. There were cor- rcspondenls on the Held , but they could not bo everywhere at once. Through the executive mansion , the war and navy department news was received , and often it was given out in a mere skeleton. This , however , was often a lead for a report or to follow un. There were some in the newspaper business who did not appear to appreciate good news when Ihcy had it. I well reinom- ior thai Iwo correspondents arrived Tiaro on a Saturday night in February , 18W ( , with the news of Buriibido's vic tory at Roanoiiko island , N. C. After sending these dispatches to the New York Herald and Tribune , I know how glad our people would bo to read It in the Sunday morning paper. Getting permission of ono of the correspondents to use his dis patch , I took it to the managing editor of ft morning paper and oll'oreil it to him without cost. The only reply I re ceived was ; "The paper is so nearly realty for the press that wo will have to decline it. " I have forgotten 10 toll you that it was not long after the war opened thai Iho government dispatches were bent in cipher , and in that way many a piece of good news was kept from the public. "As you may suppose , " ho ivjntlnued , "there was much red tape prevailing then , and often when nnpor ? had tlmii- news ready to give to the public , the publishers' would bo on the anxious benchastowholhor.it would be ap proved or not. Some olHeials wore very reticent , and MOWS hud to bo pumpeu out , but President Lincoln always seemed anxious to have the public got all information. "Outiiide of the telegraph and the do- pnrtmouts , the .steamboat wharves anil the navy yard were points for items , nnd at those places reporters were kept constantly. The quartermaster ( Can- tain Allen ) in charge of river transpor tation was located at Seventh and M streets , and often boats arriving brought up Interesting news from bolo\r \ , Al the navy yard , which , for thu most of the time , was under the same command as the Potomac flotilla , news was often procurable , hut usually had to bo \\ormcdout. The rule seemed to bo that nothing should bo divulged until the olllclal roiKirt was given out by the department. Generally Iho reiiorter had llrst to got a sailor's yarn , ami after writing It up with the plausibility of truth , read it to an otlleer , and get at the truth in that way. ' 'Among our own people here , as well as among the many thousands of sol diers sometimes campeil around , " said tlio operator , "there was at times much exoitcmont. The anxiety to learn the latest news held crowds about the nows- pnpcr ofllces almost continuously , ami on the reception of good IIOWH often would crowds visit the white house with n band of music. You remember how the MOWS of the fall of Richmond was received. This was on April II , l.Mi'i , nud the aniiouncomont electrified tlio city. Kvervbotly was glad , oven tlitt-o who had been looked upon as soutlarn suiipathi/ors. At nlglil houses were illuminated , bonfires kindled mid bolls rung. " llcunllfiil XeokH. New York Graphic : "A woman \\ith a white nock never conceals it , " is one of the social axioms. For the hist few year , over since , in fact , the Princess of Wales became the leader of Ameri can ami London fashions , the while neck has been in eclipse. The prin cess has n dcon soar , caused by an ab scess under the skin , and to conceal this blemish the high collar on day dresses and the broadband of velvet and jewels by night were adopted. LiUo most fashions , this one wns born to soothe royal vanity , anil it must bo conceded - coded it has proved a blessing to many a long-necked commoner. Now , how ever , there is a thrcatoncil revolt among the beauties with white round throats ; they say with the usual cruelty of youth , that the princess would bo glad enough to dispense with her chokers if she could , and they will not bo governed by her scar any longer. For tailor-made , severe street gowns , yes ; hut for the houso. no ! Aided ami abetted by M. Worth , the girls are showing their necks in a most distracting way. At the theater the other night the back of tholovlicbt white neck divided attention with " , lim , tlio Penman , ' ' whenever the curtain fell for the beautiful line of the soft brown hair on that white skin , the graceful curves of the jaw whcro it joined the neck , and then the roundness of the con tours , were studies iu which nn artist might have reveled. To exhibit all thi loveliness the Frenchy gown was devoid of any band. Trying ? Well , slightly , but then thai is the charm of it. Only the young and fair may venture to un cover this portion of the human amit- omy. English girls arc famous for their columnar neck. American , on the con trary , nro of the finer mold , and Iheir necks like Iheir wrists and ankles , nro more slendm- than tho.sc of the fair but massive daughters of Albion. Mrs. Langlry , for instance , has a perfectly set neck ; the back of it is what the Greeks call "kissuble , " and so , too , was tliis demoiselle's who engrossed tlio at tention of the occupants of two scats be hind her al the llicater last week. It is seldom , however , thai Ibis pure Greek lype appears on lliis bide , Ihough now il is to be a fashion if will doubt less develope among American bcaulics , for Americans haven way of being what they desire.
