The Trufanf Case,


A Washington special of the sixth, to the
Chicago Times, says:
The case of the Gilbert c. Trufant, men.
toned in these dispatches yesterday, has
attracted some interest in official circles
Further particulars have transpired to-
day. The Trufant, when sold at Liverpool,
was indebted to her seamen for wages, and
to the United States for certain hospi-
tai dues. The owners of the Trufant sold
her without paying the crew or the dues of
the vessel. The crew appealed to the
American consul, and he to Minister
Schenck. Mr.. Schenck wrote to Earl
Derby about the matter. A very brisk
correspondence was maintained between
the two goyernmt nts upon the subject. Mr..
Sehenck wanted the British authority to
withhold papers from the Trufant until she
had paid her crew and dues to the United
States. The Earl of Derby declined to do
this, and as much as said that he could not
afford to act as a collector of debts due to
United States. When he ordered papers to
be issued to the Trufant, Mr.. Schenck at
once notified the State Department here,
and IT, in turn, informed the Secretary of
the Treasury, who has instructed all of the
collectors of customs on the sea coast to
seize, at the first opportunity, the Trufant,
and hold her until she pays up her dues.
When this is done, the United States will
nave no further claims upon her.

WASHINGTON.'
The Troops in Mississippi.

AhC ATOOp8 Ii .1l09k88lpRIs
WASHINGTON, September g. President
Grant has sent a tslagram to Adjutant Gen.
eia Townsend, directing him to instruct
the officer commanding the troops in Missis-
sippi to give Governor Ames such aid as
may be necessary to maintain order and
protect life in that State, if the insurrection
ls too formidable to be suppressed with the
means at the Governors command. Before
sending such an order to the commanding
officer, however, the President directed the
AdJutant Geners to consult with Attorney
General Pierrepont rs t, the legality of such
contempt Ated military proceeding. Accord
lugly these gentlemen had a consul ultation on
that subject at noon to-day. Action on
the Presidents telegram will be deferred
until it shall be decided whether prolama-
tion shall be iseued, addressed to the insur-
gents; the President having requeste the
Secretary of State and the Attorney Gen
eral to consider whether such a proclama-
tion is necessary. The Secretary Of State
being absent from Washington, the Atsor
ney General is making arrangements by
telegraph for a conference with Secretary
Fish, and may leave here tonight for that
purpose, unless be shall be advised in the
meantime that the Secrt aryis on his way
to Washington, which is thought probable,
owing to the present troubles in Mississippi.
Later.
~ 10 uouulIoiy kuOWn Cnau no actl0n Will
be taken by the War Department until after
the issuance OF a proclamation and the re-
ception OF information of disregard of it's
requirements by the insurgents. The avail
able troops in Mississippi are two companies
of the Sixteenth Infantry at jackson two
OF the Thirteenth at Vicksburg, and five of
the Third Infantry and four of the Thir-
teenth at Holly Springs, and four of the
Thirteenth at Baton Rouge. Official tele-
grams will probably be sent to Governor
Ames day, asking him whether it is not
possible he can be aided in preserving the
public peace by calling upon law abiding
citizens, SO as to avoid the necessity of re.
sorting to federal force to suppress the dis
turbance.

kept in all its Department., and is a
credit to the management and the
county. We beg leave to report to your
honor that we have been in session
twelve days, and take pleasure in stating
that the general neral condition Of the
county is good; the citizens every
where show q disposition to abide
by and sustain the laws. This
grand Jury, after correct inquiry, have
been allie to find but few indictments,
OF these a large majority are for minor
offeDses, but few felony indictments
having been found. And In this cor
nection we would suggest that jail or
place of confinement for criminals is
greatly needed at Bartlett. After inves-
tigatipg the subject we are satisfied that
it will, in the end, be cheaper for the
county, and more effectuslly subserve
the ends of justice, to build 8 wooden
block Jail, at or near the Bartlett court
house, not to cost more than fifteen hun
bred dollars; and we would respectfully
recommend an appropriation by the
county court Of this amount for the cree
ton OF such Jail, believing as we do,
that economy to the county and the
safs- keeping Of prisoners demand it. II
we are correctly informed, more than
this amount has already been expended
in guard and other necessary expense
for prisoners since the establishment of
the court, that might have been avoided
by having jail. We are also informed
that on three several occasions prisoners
have escaped from the guard while
awaiting trial, and one of desperate
character, at the present term Of the
court. We find the condition Of the
Bartlett courthouse to be good, and
the building in good repair.
We would respectfully recommend
the purchase of two dozen split bottom
chairs for the use of the court and jury
room. We take this occasion to return
thanks to your honor, the attorney. gen.
eral, and to the other officers of the
court for the courtesy aud kindness
shown to us drought our session, and to
you on the settled state Of
society which exists throughout the
county, which is largely owing to the
just and equitable manner in which the
laws are administered by you. Respect
fully, etc.,
