arrived here via Jacksonville Railroad.
Immediately upon their arrival they pro-
ceeded by a direct route to the county
ISL, placing guards ut every street and
alley 70 guard against surprise. Arriving
at the jail one OF the guards stationed
outside took alarm and attempted to
raise an alarm, but was quietly taken
charge Of and placed under guard. They
then entered the office of the jail and after
twelve or fifteen of them mad entered
Sheriff F~ullerIove, wskened by the dis
turbanee, came to the door, and when
they demanded the keys he attempted to
get away by lodging down g csllar way
and coming ont on the outside OF the
building. Bat here he was commanded
to surrender, and by some Means was
shot through the arm. They had now
complete possession Of the jail and found
the keys In the Sheriff g bedroom, when
they Immediately proceeded TO the cells.
They then took Frank Rslo, Simon
Reno and Chss. Anderson, the express

The victims were placed In chairs, the
ropes adjusted and the chairs Kicked
from under them, Frank and Simon
hanging TO one post-Slmon In front and
Frank behind him-the other brother
hanging at a corner post and Anderson
backwards, in the rear of the jail. After

the KEY with them and taking one of the
County Commissioners TO the depot,

the BoURBoNs, she is now verging on
another supposed to have been inatigated

The notable fact is, says the Chicago
Tribune, that the expenses of collecting
the internal evenu have increased in
much the same proportion that the reve-
nue. collected has decreased. A little
srithmetieal calculation will enable the
reader to perceive that, when the amount
of revenus collected shall have fallen to
the SUM which Il now costs to collect it,
the expenses Of collection will have
reached the sum which the revenue now
collected amounts TO. The rule from
which this marvellous result appears, may
be called the rule Of Radical fnanclsl
correspondences.

A FORMrDAsLE CONSERVATION.


The attention of the friends Of the
Central Pacific 1.-THE initial point Of which
It was recently declared by the National
Board of Trade should be Fort Smith, is
called to the following paragraph taken
from the last number Of the houston
Texas Telegraph:
1t is stated, with what foundation we
know not, that a coalition has been
formed between the Union Pacific and
the Atlantic and Pacific Rsiirosd, by
which they intend, with the assistance
they can obtain from the reCommeDda-
tons Of the Legislatures Of Missouri and
KEnRss, to obtain an immense sum from
Congress to aid their enterprises. These
companies are the same which opposed
each Other last winter in effOrtI to OBJ
tain from the Legislature of Missouri q
recommendation 10 Congress, each com
paDy eontendlng for 1t. The plan OF
compromise nov seems 70 be thst the
Union Pacific IS to build lite road to Dem
yer, with branches to Albuquerque. and
the Atlantic and Pacific to build theirs
from Fort Scott, Kansas, to the Pacific,
by way of Albuquerque. This lie q prec.
teal consolidation OF the two compa-
mics, and as Boston and Philadelphia
capitalists are largely interested, very
strong influences will be brought to bear
upon Congress il their favor, AMI 30 &C
complish their purposes it Is ant eipGted
that they will oppose the international
Pacific road.
As the st. Louis Republican, makes
the same statement, we think it OF sut1i'
cient Importance to attract the attention
Of the friends OF the Central, in which
we of Memphis are particularly Inter-
ested. We must be equal to thu emer-
gency thus about TO be sprung upon US,
and prepare for a strong opposition from
Texas, from 81. Louis, and from that
gigantic corporation, the Union Pacific,
which by this combination would
"choust" Us out Of all participation in
the Pacific trade.
II, instead Of wasting time in a fruit
lees effort to wrest from the proprIetors
the franchises Of the Mississippi River
Railroad, our active and enterprlsing
railroad men would enlist in this behalf,
they might not only realize as much of
profit, but more Of the /" glory F" Of news
paper notoriety, for which they just now
seem TO have an inordinste thirst. Hers
is something worthy the mettle OF the
best Of them. In c~ontendiDg against
the combination above referred 10, they
would encounter many members OF Con-
gress and Influential Republicans, and
most Of the capitalists of the North. To
such opposition were worthya
such efforts as have been made
to get possession OF the River Railroad.

According to Psychologists, the human body 10 ronow.
