JOSEPH M. TIGHE.
He is Released i'm Cincinnati on
Fifteen Hundred Dollars Rail, and
Returns to Plague his Tor
mentors - Official
Investigation.

Our readers will remember that last
Friday Mr.. Joseph NJ. Tighe was ar
rested upon a IequisitiOn, and before his
attorneys had time 10 examine into the
legality of the papers, was taken by
Sheriff Charles Anderson and placed on
board the Louisville train to be carried
by an agent to Ohio. So hastily was all
this done that Mr.. Tighe did not even
have time to procure his Overceat or u
change Of clothing. Despite this decid-
edly sharp trick, Smith, Shaw and Tran
than will be disappointed to know
that Mr.. Tighe will reach here today,
and be "on hand" to appear against the
kidnappers in the Bartlett court, the
honesty OF whose officials will net fail
to reveal the fact that the offanse was
committed within the jurisdiction of
that tribunal. Messrs. l.. b. HOrrigan
and Thomas Lowe, attorneys for MIR.
Tighe, proceeded to Cincinnati Satur'
day. His case was brought up before
the judge of the court having jurisdic-
ton of the crime with which he is
charged. Despite the great raw-head-
aud-bloody-b story that Tighe had
defrauded score of creditors, so nu-
merous, indeed, as TO make it necessary
for Smith, Shaw and Traptham's law
yer to write letter TO the Cincinnati
Commercial, iduly sddTes sed to his credi-
tors, the court evidently dissents as to
the enormity of the swindle. We say
this because telegram from
Messrs. Lowe and Horrigan states
"the bail in the Tighe case has been
fixed by the court at fifteen hundred
dollars, and that he would start from
Cincinnati last night for Memphis.n
So sitter all the furOre, attempted kid
mapping, and subsequent Proceedings,
the affair is not One-fiftieth as big o
thing as Smith, Shaw & Co. sought to
make the public believe. Alexander M.
Smith, the interesting biped who broke
down the tol-gate and treated Tighe
with so much inhumanity, and who is
now indicted for four different crimes
by the Bartlett court, met the Ohio
agent and the prisoner at Milan. Thence
the creature who is afraid to return here
to the genial eOmpanionship Of J. J.
Smith, James NJ. Shaw and john Tran
than, who, like Alexander, are also in
dicted, travelled with Tighe 10 Gin.
cinnati. Thus far the disgrRceful
plans of Smith have not resulted in
anything save justice, which it is hoped
will be continued until every man,
whether agent, principal or adviser to
as they so richly merit. Proceedings
will be instituted SO as to fully investi-
gate the exact manner of Mr.. Tighe's
arrest and removal from this city last
Friday. The great haste OF the affair
will be Investigated in an action against
the persons who are alleged to have
acted contrarysto custom, law and court
esq.
Last night the following special tele-
gram was received by the APPEAL:
CINCINNATI, November 2l.-Baii was
fixed by the court in Tighe's case at fif-
teen hundred dollars. The bail was
given at once. Tighe was met at Milan
by A. NJ. Smith, who came with him
here. Tighe YVES detained in Louisville
all day Saturday to get him in jail here
on Sunday, when tail would not be
taken. There will be no difficulty in re-
futing the charges whenever the prose-
cution is ready for trial. The officers
here treated Tighe and his counsel kind
u and with great consideration; if they
ID that the prosecution is prompted by
J., q to extort money, as claimed
,oo+;D. lion will receive no aid at
he proseee.
