TIE somewhat fam mpus case Of james
UDonnell, who it will be remembered
was arrested in this city some days ago
on the charge OF swindling whisky

dollars by means of false pretenses, has
assumed Il somewhat complicated phase.
| t. appears from the proceedings before
Judge LongWorth this morning, at which
Time the case came up on "a writ of hab-
cas- corpus, that Governor Young had
granted IL warrant tor extradItion OF the
prisoner 10 the authorities OF Illinois,
but that afterwards had revoked the
writ, basing histaciion upon statements
made by MIR. Wulner in the presence
OF Frank Hitchcock, agent of the State
OF Illinois, who claimed that the charge
was not true.
In the writ of revocation Gov. Young,
used these words: cater mature dc
liberation and in consideration OF facts
coming to my knowledge, l am satisfied
that the warrant was lnadyertatnly is
sued." On the strength Of the above
mandate from the Governor of Ohio,
Sheriff Wallace, of this county,i in W hose
custody the prisoner was and had been
Tor nearly two weeks, discharged
O'Donnell on a writ or habeas corpus,
granted by Judge Longworth to a son OF
the prisoner, Chas f. OD D,nnelt.

ployed able counsel Tor his father, and

pants in the case. Hon. Thomas A.

this State, nor SO far as he knew in any

drew one of the finest crowds of ladies'
that ever was seen in store on that
favored street.
Messrs. Lewis have Just furnished
their new quarters, and the complete
ness OF the arrangements, coupled with
the reputation tor thoroughness which
Mr.. George Lewis, The senior partner,
has achieved from his long iden-
titcation with this business, rendered
the opening an occasion OF more than
ordinary interest to the most fashiona-
BILE class of buyers, not only in this city
but throughout this locality, as IL is q
recognized fact that the styles placed
on exhibition by this firm will determine
the modes to be worn within radius of
three hundred miles of Cincinnati.
The display of suits ranging all the
way from those made OF goods at a dol

elegant.

most elaborate description, and COM
posed as is all the fabrics shown) of the
best material for the price.
An Improvement which can not but be
an acceptable innovation from that in

is that the patrons have no weary stairs
to climb III their search for the article
desired.
The vast assortment is found on one
floor, room of most generous dimen-
sions, and which is lighted most thor
oughly. Another feature which
deserves especial mention is what
is termed the "Evening Room" snug
and tastetully arranged apartment :
lighted with gas for the purpose OF show,
ing the effect of light on the most deli.
cate shades OF silk and other costly
goods.
The proprietors can congratulats
upon the success of their
opening day, enhanced as it was
by the beauty of the weather,
as the house was thronged all day by
ladies, who were almost lost in admira-
tion OF the dazzllng e feet made by ju-
dicious arrangement OF handsome unous.

The Washington Star on the
Agreement.
National Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Even
ing Star says good deal has been said
about certain pledges to Southern Con.
gressmen, made by those supposed to
represent President Hayes, that In the
event ofhis gaining the Presidency he
would recognize the Nichols and Hamp-
ton Governments in South Carolina and
Louisiana. There seems to be doubt
that Foster and Matthews did
make such pledges under such
circumstances to convey the belief that
hey were acting under the authority of
Hayes; but it would appear that these
assurances. in the definite and positive
shape they took, were unauthorized by
Hayes, and he was not made aware Of
he fact that they had been given. At
lhe same time he stands pledged by his
and by his Endorsement of the
S peech of Mr.. Foster to reverse the exist
ing Southern policy. This reversal must
mean the withdrawal of Government
Interference calculated to bolster up
rule and the concession OF
ocal self government in the South. His
own pledges, while not binding him like
the Foster and Matthews pledges to
settle The whole Southern ENHANCEMENT
III twenty-five minutes. do bind him to
practically the same policy, and we have
no doubt he means religiously to carry
them out.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The POSTS
Washington special says: Several DEM

less the President withdraws the troops
from Columbia and New Orleans, the
majority will not permit the army ap-
preparation bill to pass at the extra ses-
sion OF Congress. Ii on the other hand
the troops are Withdrawn, they say that
all the money necessary W support The

A pressure is brought to bear upon
Ex-Governor Brown, Of Tennessee, to
induce him to withdraw his acceptance
Of the Presidents request to act as Il

A pumber of dispatches have been sent

The PosPs Washington special says
the Publication OF tne details OF an

frankly that they are as much aston
