PATENT lilGH'T SWINDLES AGAIN.
A Chapter in tiic Life of Vnimm II. (•r:iy.
my of our readers will no dou'ut romciniii'r a local editorial that appeared in tiie column.-? of the
GAZETTE
one day
last week, denouncing pif.i-nt ri« ht swindles. We, at tiiat time, had a case of thi ind in view in our own midst, but did not men!ion any names. Jn yesterday mornin'4'ri Journal we notice a card of about, a column in length over the signature of William JI. Gray, whicii ilia specimen of the genius homo ha.s no doubt heen wrestling with ever .since our article appeared on the subject of patent light swindles. William evidently knows him.-elf guilty of being engaged in the [latent right swindling business, or lie would have taken no no:ice of the article referred to. It always is considered a prima facia evidence of guilt when a man .sets up si defen.se when there is no prosecution.
The statement of facts, notwithstanding there were no names mentioned, p'inehed him and he gave vent to his feelings in the card referred to above. We now propo-e to give I'm" whole history, of this ease as we have ob.-erved it ourseivus and leariiVd it from responsible parlies.
About four weeks s'n^e, a man call iMg himself William II. Gray, came to this city, from whence we know and care not, and represented himself as being the patentee or agent ol Lupton's Family Favorite Burning Fluid, and the Patent Silver Plated Double Reflecting Lamp ]turner. In his meanderings about the city, he cameacrss an old gentleman doing business on one of our principle streets, whose name we v-'ill suppress for the present. This old gen tie mm has been a resident of th's cily at least thirty years, and is now nearly three-score years and ten, and when he first met this patent right leech, .had in his own name, a store in the city
A few days since, however, his dignity(?) met \yith a severe rebuke, by his being eapiased for $503 worth o! jewelry, which he had purchased "on tick" from one of our jewelers. He was taken before 'Squire Do no hie, where he ".shelled out the stamps" and was dismissed. It is supposed that he bought the jewelry for his intended bride. He is said to have presented one of his intended brother-iu-laws a silver watch a.s an inducement to get him to go to school, ami according to the boy's statements offered to buy him a suit of clothes if htwould be a good boy and attend school. He intimates his proposed near rwlations with the family by atleciionately
calling
valued at about 82, "00 and seventy acr eration as regards his taxes for 18G3. He of land in Otter Creek township, valued claims that he paid the same to the late at about $100 per acre. William met the old gentleman in the store and with the brass and self-a-suranee peculiar to his profes-ion, approached him with his L. F. F. B. F. & P. S. P. I). R. L. B's and proposed that he should invest in the "only genuine article of non-ex-plosive tluid, etc., known to man," and himself being the only man that knew of its many good qualities. The o.'d gentleman told him that he did not want anything to do with it. William, however, believing in the old saying of "try, try again," persisted and lauded his wun•l'ful invention in the highest terms, until the old gentleman started to dinner, where William followed, remarking that he would go up and show his great invention to the family. He went to the house and there he quartered upon the hospitalities of the family, winning the aflections of the old man's daughter by his devotion iu assisting her in the domestic duties incumbei.t upon a daughter in a weli-regulated fain ily, carrying out dishwater, slops, and assisting her in washing dishes, etc., etc meanwhile talking up his wonderful, unparalleled and never-to-be-matched L. F. F. Ii. F., until the old man yielded to the seductive wiles of the persevering William, and the infirmities incident to a man of his years, found every eent's worth of property out of his hands and in the possession of thistupendous confidence operator, an Indianapolis lawyer Ot-ing employed as e.HHenl in arranging the business. Wc are in the possession of the particulars ol this whole transaction of transfers of real estate, but re!rain from giving space to it at present, though we will, if necessary tvagain refer to this matter. It is enough for our present purpose to say that the old mAn is penniless and W. II. G. is going ii with a "full hand," driving around about our streets with all the presumption and assumed dignity imaginable, accompanied by the O. G's daughter.
the old "folks at home" fathei
and mother. William, in his card, says that if he succeeds in enticing his victim away, he will return him free of charge, and without any incumbrances, lie basalready relieved him of his property incumbrance, and now proposes to scud him out into the State of Missouri to soil his "light dispensers," to the Ivu Klux where his light of life is likely be snutied out at any time. The idea of sending an old man, just tottering upon the edge of the grave, out into the world to peddle a patent right is preposterous in the extreme, and especially an old man who has .resided in the city thirty years of his life. The whole transaction is regarded by all who know of the circumstauces, as an outrage on the infirmities of age, the family,the community, and human credulity. The property W-iich the oldgen'.leman deeded to Gray, properly belongs to other parties by right of descent, aud Gray has from time to time promised to adjust the matter with them, but as often violates his promise, and it is universally believed by all who know of the transaction, that all* Gray is waiting for is an opportunity to become scarce, as he has disposed of the property
which the old gentleman deeded him, to parties. We must say that we think he has made a first-class fool of himself by answering an article that did not mention his name, for then many would not have known who
was
referred
to. We now propose to dismiss him for ihe present. Meanwhile, we will investigate further and await events.

Committee, reported back the Senate bill,
1
entitled an act to incorporate the Texas j5s
Pacific Railroad Company, and to aid in
construction of the l'oad, and for other
purposes, with anamendment. He stated
that part of the Senate bill had bean
preserved. Mr. Rmdall called for the reading of the original bill, which contains the names of John Fremont, Marshall O.
erans, as corporators. The amendment proposed by Mr. Wheeler was next read. It changes some of the names of the corporators, changes the name of the company to Soutti Pacific Railroad Company and reduces the capital from 100 million to 50 million dollars.
Mr. Julian raised the question whether the bill should be considered at this time, and the House agreed to do so.
Mr. Wheeler explained the amendment reported by hiru from the Committee. The bill from the vided forsix different lines ment provides for a single trunk from a point on the eastern boundary of the State of Texas, at or near Marshall, to tiie ship canal in the Bay of San Diego, California, pursuing the route known as the 22d parallel of north latitude.

Mr. Wheeler replied that it did not call for one dollar in bonds or money. Mr. Garfield further asked whether the bill was so drawn that the men to whom the grant was made shall build the road and sell'the valuable franchise.
Mr. Wheeler replied that according to the be^t ability of the committee, that was the object.
Mr, Garfield—Then I am for the bill. Mr. Allison desired to call attention to the 4th section, which he said did not meet objection. This section proposes that the company should purchase and consolidate all railroad companies, not only those which now exist, but those wh'ich may hereafter be chartered. This latter part he proposed to strikeout.
Mr. Judd said this bill seemed to cover the entire United States, as it gave power to make branches to almost every part of the country. He had, therefore, called ihe attention of the Chairman of the Committee to the subject, who replied that certain companies would combine, aud that was the reason for the section.
Mr. Wheeler demanded the previous qtfestion, and declined to yield the floor to other gentlemen. The demand was seconded, when Mr. Beatty moved to adjourn, but the House re£used to do so.
Mr. Buckley was allowed three minutes, aud said that the gauge ought to correspond with the 12,000 miles of railroad in the South. Thirteen million acres were to be given this company and yet no Southern mau had been permitted to speak for more than three minutes. Rather than the bill should be passed under these circumstances he would prefer to wait and not now see so much land given to organize a company in New York and expend its capital iu the interest of Northern corporators.
Mr. Wheeler, in reply, said the gauge would be what the interests of business demanded, and in conclusion briefly spoke of the benefit of granting lands for railroad purposes. It was but just to the South that this bill should be passed.
The House agreed to Allison's amendment excluding from consolidation such railroads as may hereafter be chartered.
The House also agreed to Mr. Wheeler's amendment to the Senate bill, when the
House passed the Senate bill thus amended, yeas 13-1, nays 70 Mr. Churchill, from the Committee on Elections, made report in the Missouri contested election case of Shields vs. Van Horn, with a resolution that Shields, the contestant, is not entitled to a seat, and that Van Horn, the.sitting member, is, and that Shields be paid $5,000 for expenses.
The resolution were adopted and the House adjourned.

Mr. Garfield said, while he believed that Congress ought to putan end to land grants, he believed the passage of the Southern PacificR tilroad bill vvasagreat act of commercial justice to the South. He could not, however, vote for the measure unless there were three things provided against in the bill: First, That it is not complicated with any branches or side roads.
Mr. Wheeler. It was not. Mr. Garfield resumed saying, in the second place he should not grant subsidies of bonds, or money, or loan the national credit.
