Frank and Jesse James.

T. Z =
Hon. j. A. Dacns of st. Louis, the we'll
known editor and ex-Member of the Mis-
souri, Legislature, has written q carefully
prepared Life and Adventures Of Frank
and Jesse James, which has been issued
by the we'll known publishing house of
N. D. Thompson e. Co., of that city.
MIR. Dacus, We are informed, spent two
years in the preparation of this work,
much of which time was with the family
and friends of the James Boys, whose
friendship and confidence he gained, and
who gave him all the facts concerning
the almost nnmberless robberies, dashing
raids and vengefnl murders committed
by them during the 20 years of their ca
reer in nearly as many States and terri
tories. The book is the most startling
record ever made in history. The careers
have no parallel in the history Of high
waymen. Bold and dashing to !. degree
that seemed reckless to personal danger,
yet they have never been apprehended
during this long period, though rewards
to the amount Of $75 600 have been offered
for their arrest, dead or alive. The book
is sold by subscription, and we are in
formed by the publishers that 21,OOO
have been sold in four months. Agents
are reaping a rich harvest with it. We
adve rtise it in another column.

Republican Campaign Manua

Republican Campaign Manual.
A Republican Manual" for the cam.
paign Of 1880, is announced as in print
and very soon to be issued. 1t is written
by Mr.. E. v. Smalley, long known as a
brilliant newspaper correspondent, and
for many years leading editorial writer
on the New York Tribune. Leading feat
ures Of the book, will of course be biop-
raphies Of the candidates. It will be the
most complete sketch of General Garfield
which will appear. Mr.. smalley was at
one time the Generals private secretary,
apd has been his intimate friend during
the whole of his public career, and is
therefore qualified by special advantages
as we'll as by talent and experience for
the task undertaken.
Garfield as al Orator aud as a States
man" is special department, contain
ing extracts from the Generals most Gel
ebrated speeches, upon topics of the
greatest interest i'll the present cam
paign; and representing the best efforts
of a brilliant scholar, an orator of rare
power, and a statesman of consumm;,te
tact and skill, it will be read with great
interest. Another department., not only
of great present interest, but of perma-
nent value, is a full history of the Re-
publican party, its principles, struggles
and victories, with important statistical
tables, particularly valuable for reference
in political campaigns.
It is book which earnest Republicans
will delight in, and find the best of all
arsenals from which to draw ammuni-
ton for campaign use; book which the
independent and conservative voters will
study with interest and profit; book
which small Democratic stump speakers
will steer clear of when they can. It is
published by the American Book Ex-
change, New York, whose esLitesary Rer-
olxtiea has been the wonder and pleas
ure OF book buyers for months past, and
its price, therefore, is only City cents,
with seven cents extra fer postage where
sent by mail. Leading booksellers, agents
Of the publishers. viii have it.

If you really desire improvement in

bashful.-Batoa Rouge Capitolian.
The CHIEF published the portraits
and Biographies of Garfield aud Ar
thur for the same reason it subse-
quently did those Of Hancock and En-
glish-to familiarize our readers with
the features and lives of the leading
candidates for the highest Offices in the
country. With similar object in
view we published the Republican and
Democratic platforms, but We do not
propose to wear the collar of either
party, aud will hold ourselves free to
to praise the virtues and criticise the
shortcomings of each without fear or
undue favor. We can inform our
friend Of the Capitolian, however, that
we shall never advocate or admit the
fallacious doctrine that the civil SER
vice Of the government can be I'M
proved or purified By turning out ex-
perienced and skilul officials and Civ
ing their places to untried and mex
perienced men simply because the
political character Of q new admins
tration may be different from that of
it's predecessor. It is appropriate
that Cabinet officers and heads of
should be members of
the political party in control of the
but subordinate officials
these who do the routine work
should be selected with view to
their capacity fer the services required
of them. This is the principle upon
which private business is conducted,
and it also prevails in the public SER
vice of Great Britain-wherein the
English system is superior to that of
' the best government the world ever
saw"
