THE ARREST OF LEM HODGES.

The n hNEtSl UF 1/L4N 1hODV1~A''
From the Jackson, M:ss.) Clarion:
Having learned of the arrival at
this place Of Lem Hodges, who is
charged with numbering Mr.. McDow-
ell in Chickasaw county, about a
year ago, we visited the prisoner to
learn something Of the arrest. We
learn from him that he was arrested
by G. S. Bell on Judge H. G. McGhee's
plantation on the Brazos. He had
been previously arrested by the Tex
as authorities, about three weeks
ago, but was released for want Of
documents. He says that he made
no attempt to escape, nor did he
conceal himself in the woods; that
the Texas authorities knew where he
was. On his return he and his cap
tor had a most delightful trip. From
Hampstead to Houston, about fifty
miles, they Travelled on freight
train, and his gallant captor, trust
ing generously to his (Hodges') hon
or, slept all the way.
After safe and pleasant journey
they arrived in New Orleans. While
in the Crescent City they stopped at
the Waverly Hotel, registering by
their proper names, and reported
that they were Mississippi cattle
drovers. They visited many places
of amusement, among which we are
permitted to mention the Crescent
City billiard saloon, and bank
where ivory chips pass as currency.
They also promenaded Canal street.
During this time, as we understand
it, neither Hodges or Bell were arm
cd, except curing the promenade,
when they were arm IN arm. They
arrived in the city at five o'clock up
on the first or second trains, prefer
ring to remain until six o'clock the
next evening.
