An Exciting Chase Through the Woods
After n Horse Thief.


Troy, Mo-, November I4.-James
NJ. League. Jr., stole a horse from
near Auburn, in this county, and
was arrested at Jefferson City and
brought TO Auburn yesterday for ex-
animation. Last night about l5O
men with their faces b~lackened at

of hanging him, but through the
strategy of Constable Walters be
was saved from them. AT his exam
nation to day be was committed for
trial, having confessed the theft.
This afternoon the constable and q
posse of four men started with him
for this place to commit him to the
county jail.
About one mile and a half out
from Auburn four men with black
ened faces rode out from the bushes.
knocked Walters, who had drawn
his revolver to defend the prisoner,
from his horse, and shot League, the
bali entering his back near the sboul-
derblade, coming out ia front.
League was tied to his horse which
took fright and gallopped through
the woods followed by the mobbers,
who kept up o rambling FIRE.
Leagues clothes were OFF from his
body and he was horribly mutilated
by the brush.
He was found To be alive, and from
his condition it is thought the wounds
will cause his death. He was taken
to a house near by. 1t is thought
the lynchers will return tonight and
him. They are supposed to.
come mostly from Montgomery coun-
ty, where League also stole q horse.
League has served two terms iu the
.penitentiary for horse stealing.

The Express Robbery.

CINCINNATI, o., November 49,
Colonel Kiersted, with one metropli-
tan of his force, aud Mr.. Fargo. OF
the Express Company, to-day went
to the stump near Cumminsville,
where the tin bucket of money was
found last night in a hollow stump,
and searching deeper in the same
stump, they found, wrapped up in a
cloth, which had been covered with
leaves, $4,000, making, with that
recovered last night from the same
place, $37, 900. Eight or nine thons-
and dollars remain to be found or ac-
counted for. OF this sum it is sup
posed that twelve or fifteen hundred
dollars was divided between the
thieves. Five hundred to two thous-
and dollars was burned yesterday
morning by Mrs Hackney, the wife
of one Of the robbers, resident in this
city. This leaves about FIVE thous-
and dollars which may yet be re-
covered.
Col. Kiersted. Superintendent of
Police, with his detectives has been
working since Sunday evening with
Mr.. Clarke, of the American Express,
Weir and Henderson of the Adams
and United States, and Hazen, de-
tective for all three companies, with
but little rest. Since Monday Julian,
Of Cleveland, and Sloan, Of Indian
apolis, have been added to the force,
together with the police of Covington,
and a large private force in this city.
The three men charged with the rob-
berry implicate no others. They
were, in default of two thousand dol
lars bail, each put in the county Jail
this evening. Nelson Briggs, the
negro, who, when arrested last night,
showed where the bucket of money
was concealed, played the comical
role in the affair. He occupied a
room at Hackney's house and the
money was hidden under his bed be-
meath a pile of rags. His curiosity
led him to examine the pile, and dis
covered the money, w%hereupon he
stole it from the thieves. This morn
ing he accompanied Col. Kiersted
and Col. Fargo, and showed them
where the remainder was covered up
in a hollow stump. He is held, o.
course, and Mrs. Hackney is ares
ted for malicious destruction Of prop
ertv.

The reign of lawlessness 10 iii,

So ANXIOUS are the Democrats to
enter upon power that the New York
Post and other journals of the party,
are seriously arguing in favor Of the
next Congress meeting 10 March, i'm
mediately after the adjournment oil
the present House, thus anticipating
the time Of the regular meeting OF
the new Congress, by ten months.
The chief argument in favor OF this
innovation is that the Democrats
having elected a majority in the next
House, they should at once assume
the responsibility Of Legislation for
the country. We trow the coun-
try will be sick enough of their leg
lslation, come as it must ia the regu-
lar course Of events, without unnec-
essarily Fastening the evil day.

Let the victorious Democracy make
it a rule Of party discipline to reward
those who by activity and zeal have
proved their devotion to the demo

On the other hand, the followers OF
Buckalew charge 6ercely on bis adj

a palterer, and a mere self-seeking
greedy spokesman, caring for self at
the expense of the party, and collud-
ting with the enemy when personal
benefit was to be secured.

disgusting wraagle among the lead
ers of the Democracy in this State, is
but a sample Of similar scenes being
enacted wherever that party has
gained power at the late elections,
proving most c%onclusively that the

WE rather admire ~radicalism, and

port, Louisiana, Times is just a triae
too radically Democratic to suit the

racy of that State troubled with can
yassing the votes at the late election,
or their candidates subjected to the
annoyance of contests, where the ne
cessities of the case required a little
stufing of the ballot box. So it be-
~nevolently proposes to put an end to
all difficulties in a summary but
strikingly Democratic way. 1t says:
I'VE want no representatives in the
Returning Board, no favor or conees-
sions from Kellogg and Packard. If
Smith is counted in over Levy, or
Twitchell over Elan, let Twitchell
