Russell still remains JAIL although his friends say
that the government has expressed willingness 70
duce tho Of bail 10 hundred thousand dollars
II he would ask H. He maintains however, that he can
produce bonds for half million, which ought 70 BE-
satisfactory. He complains Of injustice In requiring
three afhs the be obtained in this district,
where property greatly deprecated by present poll
tical troubles that II Is doubtful Il would bring half
mi,iou under the hammer.
Russell held as prisoner Of the United States, and
NO, q this sssct and therefore he contends bail
pcrly certified from any part OF the country should be
satisfactory. lilo VIII ask no favors, only justice.
