THE MISSING PEDDLER.
Cohen Not Murdered in Robertson
County.
He Turns Up on the Other Side Of
the Water,
And Is Held in a Polish Prison to Pick
Crow with the Russian Gar.

Several months since, NJ. Cohen, Polish
peddler, disappeared from this vicinity I'M
der very mysterious circumstances. Some
time after bis disappearance, rumOr
reached this city that he had been muir
dered in Robertson county, near the Ken
lucky line.
A number Of his friends in Nashville
visited that locality and spent several days
endeavoring to discover some trace Of him,
but returned without accomplishing any
thing. They at last concluded the miss
ing man had really been murdered, and
numbered him with the dead.
But sthat's where they made the mis-
take" for early this week, 5. SimOns, Of
this city, received letter from his father at
Mayaka, Poland, stating that Cohen had
turned up in that place, where he had a
family. From this, it would appear that
Cohen only ''put up a job" to get away
from creditors in this city, one Of them
being Mr.. Simons, 70 whom be owes sever
al hundred dollars. But in playing his
little game he jumped out Of the frying pan
into the fire. On reaching his native heath
the government authorities threw him into
prison. claiming that he was not citizen
of the United States, but Russian subject,
he having left the country without pass
port, which was contrary TO the laws OF the
empire.

IN the course OF a conversation, yes
terday, with Mr.. A. c. Buell., repre-
sentative of the st. Louis Republican,
Gov. Porter said that, if the Civil
Rights bin should become a law, he
thought it would be advisable for the
Legislature to adopt an address to the
people Of the State, counseling them to
act with the prudence and moderation
beftting so grave an emergency. The
suggestion Is an eminently wise one,
and would unquestionably be adopted
if laid before the Legislature in the
shape Of a formal recommendation.
