funny report OF an interview WIN y. Z
Cunningham, as follows Andy ParIe Will
not probably feel very highly compiimented
tha5 Cunningham claims him as parttcu-
lar friend
1t being again reported last Tuesday that
Cunningham's case was coming up on q
writ Of habeas corpus, representative or
the Pt.1f proceeded to the city hall to lear
what was going on, and az the case dId not
come mp. went into the jail to see hQ" Gun
ningham was getting on. Cunningham u
confined III onc Of the cages in the second
stony, snd there are two or three otner prs
0ners in the same cage. lie SAID t4aU the
report that be had turned for Greeley was
o mistake, as he always had been and u
still straight-out Republican, ana tla[ ms
efforts and the prominent part he took 10
Republican meetings had aroused great
deal Of prejudice among a portion OF
the PEOPLE against him, Cunning
ham saws he was not imported into
the State by General AInes, as charged BY
the Clugi1l, but came Of his own free will,
to make it his home and follow his business,
and that he did not come to the State until
after Ames was elected United States Sen
atOr He has never held any position under
the State stratiOn-Governor AlCOrn
promising to make him chief Of the secret
service, but failing 10 do sO--aud the only
Office be held in the State being that of
deputy United States marshal under Captain
Shaughnessv. He says that his parents
are honest, respectable people; that he mar
RED a young lady in WO0dviIle, native
Of the State land IS very indignant at
DeNyse and Barr for trying to fleece herr,
and has endeavOred to conduct himself as
a good citizen ever since he has been in
Mississippi but that there is a great deal
of prejudice against him. He says that the
counterfeit warrant affair was ''pUt-up
lob" on him by detectives in New 4Rleans
and New York who dislike him for per-
sOnai reasons, and are enviOus Of him as a
detective because he is independent and
does not work with them-for the purpose
of iniurng him, and at the same time
making money by getting the rewards sure
to be offered by the State. He says that
Cartwright met him on the street, about a
month ago, and introduced himself, stating
that he was a particular friend OF Andy
Parle, keeper of liquor store in New Or
leans, who is particular friend of Gun
ningham's; that Cartwright told aim he ex-
peCted box by express, but as he was
going away he wished Cunningham
to receive and keep it for him until
he came back; that he afterwards re-
ceived a letter from Cartwright directing
him to call at the express office and inquire
for the box, which he did only once; that
been opened, Ona corner of it being broken;
that he did not Glke the box in his hands,
but had it put upon dray, where it was
when he was arrested by Mr.. Junkermann;
and further, he has no doubt that be can
prove his innocence and that he is the vic
tim Of plot to injure him, by parties who
also wished to make money out of the
State, and probably circulate the warrants
as well. He says that there is more ieal-
hot Il +bn,,
other class Of men, and that he had incurred
the displeasure of several Of them by haul
ing them up and exposing their attempts to !
put up Jobs on other people; that
at Meridian he was put in jail on some
charge which was not substantIated, and |
that while in Jail a box was sent to
lim lhe suppOses by detectivesj. which |
would have blown him to atoms if he had |
opened the lid, but he opened it at one end, |
md it was found to contain explosive ma
.eriaI, which would have been iguited by |
wires attached to the lid when it was
raised. He says that he has o relation |
named Cunningham, who il chief clerk in |
-he money order department Of the New |
York pOstottice, and that he is not the Gun
bingham arrested there. He says he is
anxious to be brought before a court on a |
writ OF habeas corpus, aud that he is wait
ng for his counsel to perfect the necessary
that if he was free, in less
han thirty days he could ferret out the
5uilty parties
Cunningham is an old and experienced
detective, aud it seems strange, it he knew
he contents Of the box, that he should
rave" acted in such careless and open
manner III receiving it; and, per contra, it
lso seems strange that a request from a
tranger to receive and keep a box, the con
ents Of which were unknown, should not
ave aroused the suspicious OF an old de
aCtiTe, especially after his experience with
box in the Meridian jail. We suppose
le result of the investigations in New
orz will reach here in lew days, and
ill throw some light upon the guilty par
es in this section. The case promises to
g one of the most interesting and import
Mt Of the kind that has ever occurred in
ne State.
P. S-Cunningham was brought before

The Baton Rouge STATE journal, a R@pub
IAN paner, which raised the Greeley and

he last number Of the Journal says:
Let the Liberal and Democratic ccnfer-e
ice committees bear in mind that Louis

ade so through sacrifice of Blood of toll
and bardships; and that Repub-

srd won victory. They desire to give
uaI rights and advantages to all, but they
e determined not to surrender their own.

partnership with their late political foes

last, becoming ashamed OF their selfish
urse, they, upon the urgent and eloquent [
peal of one Of their party, and in order '
give color to the proceedings, put one I

by down upon the ticket they put him,
