States commissioner at New York, authori.
lied his arrest by any United States marshal
or deputy marshal. or by James Mooney, a
private detective in new lork-a form of
warrant that has no authority in law. His
seizure at New Orleans and transportation
TO New York was not an official arrest there
fore, but an act of kidnapping. Why was
the prisoner taken TO New York; Why
should he not have been examined at
New Orleans, where the judicial au-
thority of the United States prevails
as well as at New York; Why was
he taken from a city where he had been
living and had friends, and taken to a dis.
tant city where he was stranger and
fricndleSs? Ii is said that the prisoners
friends in New Orleans would probably
have attempted to rescue him; but there Is
little force in this in the presence of the
overwhelming power the government
could bring against handful Of
Italian fruit dealers. The United States
commissioner at New York, after hearing
the case decided that there was good cause
for believing the prisoner to be the brigand
sought But he could not vet be delivered
up to the Italian minister without an order
from the state department, and the
prisoners counsel, there fore, determined
to take an appeal from the commissioners
decision to that department.; but on the
day when the record reached Washington
both Secretary Blaine and his first
assistant secretary were absent. Never
theess, without notice to the prisoners
counsel and without any other
ceremony, the official in charge of the
department made out warrant of sur
render and gave it to the Italian minister
and the prisoner was sent off. The whole
business, from beginning to end, was
clumsy and irregular, and so unfriendly to
the prisoner that his counsel are asking the
department to demand his return to this
country that the whole investigation may
be had over again. But suppose the Italian
government declines to do this-and it is
not at all probable it will consent to take so
much trouble to assist our negligent state
department to correct its mistakes-what
will We do about it?-[St. Louis Republican.

A Case Of kidnapping.

The case Of the alleged Italian brigand,
Exposito, grows interesting. The Dutch
vessel on which he was embarked for
Europe has arrived at Rotterdam and In
n few days will be In Italy. The Italian
authorities claim that he is the real
brgand and murderer they want He
may be and lie may not. The question
OF his identity Is one of Importance, but the
question Of the legality Of the process by
which he was delivered up TO tne Italian
authorities Is OF some concern, too. II up

Two infant New Workers arrived on
the steamer Colorado Saturday, and
their first step was to hunt up a pawn
shop.
Detective Pryde happened to be in
the neighborhood, and thinking there
was perhaps something wrong about
them, took them in charge. At the
stationhouse a pistol was found 10 the
pocket of each one, together with q
quantity Of cartridges. When inter
rogated, they gave their names as
Julius Coe and Harry G. Wales, aged
fourteen and fifteen respectively.
What did you do in New York;
asked the chief.
"Clerked at A. 4. Stewards" was
the answer.
"What made you leave?'
"Oh, we'll, Horace Greeley said &c

his advice

he answered, with a significant wink
"but Memphis is not as game as We
expected to find it."
Both boys were well dressed, anC
spoke of having visited Chicago, st
Louis and other cities with the calm
ness of an old rouuder. They were
tried yesterday morning for carrying
pistols and fined fifty dollars each

Auothet burglar will soon bid an
affectionate farewell to the state peni-
tentiary, and enter the shades Of pri-
vate life aud private houses. In
March, 1876, Charles johnson, color
ed, was sentenced by the Shelby
county criminal court to ten years in
the state prison for participation in
one Of the heaviest robberies of the
decade. Three negroes we're inter-
ested in the affair-Johnson, Jack
Williams and Annie Shine. The lat
ter was employed as houscgirl by Mr..
S. Kaufman, No. SO Exchange street,
and planned the robbery, which was
executed by johnson and Williams
together. Four thousand dollars in
money and diamonds was the result,
Williams was encountered by Detec.
tive Pryde shortly afterward in a
h luse on Linden street and a desper-
ate struggle ensued. Williams was a
powerful man, and though Pryde had
nearly succeeded at one time inpin-
ioning his arms behind him, managed
to Jerk loose and shoot the officer
over his shoulder, Ae ball penetrating
the left lung. In a moment more he
had freed himself from Pryde's grasp
and was gone. Pryde followed until
he dropped from loss Of blood.
Williams was captured the ensuing
day on an outgoing train, and 4 guam
tity of the stolen money and diamonds
found on his person. johnson, the
pal, co.laborer and comrade of this
desperate, was also captured, with the
balance Of the stolen stuff. He was
sentenced, as before stated, to ten
years at hard labor. He has served
four years already, and at the expira-
ton Of the fifth is to be released. The
Communication Of his sentence amounts
almost to a pardon.
Not content with demolishing the
doors Of the states prison, the soft
hearted governor has allowed a big
round tear to creep along the bridge of
his nose in sorrow for an inhabitant Of
our little home institution, Presi-
dents island. A wild-eyed gentleman
from Nevada, who is remembered by
his wild manner of Topping his som
brero on the corner Of the judges
table and calling for Justice" has
received the blessing of the chief
executive. When arrested he had a
few hundred dollars and a pistol in
his pocket. Both, With the assistance
of the layers, helped him to make
his way safely to the county work
house. 1t is not stated which was
most to blame for his release.

Hattie Thomas, a colored damsel,
extended her afternoon promenade
until after nine O'Clock last night and
was piloted to the stationhouse.
u. W. lift was given his pile yes
terday and released. He was arrested
some days ago on suspicion, and when
searched a leathern belt containing
S2278 was found buckled around his
waist, which he claimed to have made
peddling.
A tramp, who gave his name as Tom
Sweeney, was sent to the island for
forty days. He has c%anvassed the city
with a circular purporting to have
been signed by Mr.. John Zent, repre-
senting him as a worthy man in need
of money and old clothes, but which
Mr.. Gent denies any knowledge Of.
Sweeney is known to have obtained
old clothing at several places and
aftorward plwned them, spending the
proceeds for whiskey, of which he was
full when arrested.
On Beale street at noon yesterday a
mulatto named Charlie Green stepped
up to a gentleman standing on the
sidewalk and asked the time Of day.
The gentleman drew out his watch,
which Green snatchod and Immediate
ly fed toward the river, pursued by
Officer Lee. Randolph was sent to
Lees assistance, and was fortunate
enough to capture the thief. The
owner can get his watch at the sta
tiOnhouse.
Mathew Billingsley, a young negro,
stopped before the Peabody yesterday
and enquired for a railroad ticket bro.
ktr, when Tom Davis, a dry goods
clerk, stepped up and offered to go buy
a ticket for him. The boy gave him
$500 to purchase a ticket to Little
Rock, but did not see money or TICKET
either until Davis was arrested, The
latter narrowly escaped the peniten.

The business woman is a phenomes

tact for driving a bsrgain as a Vance
street lady who went out horse swap
ping the other day while her husband
was absent. She knew of a trader
who possessed an animal just suited to
her taste, and to him she went.
Mr.. Blank" she said, Il want to
exchange this horse for that bay Of

dealer.
There's only one thing the matter
with him, sir. He has a polypuS in
his nose, but that can be cured easily
and the lady proceeded to give a recipe
for it, while the dealer stared.
What are his qualities?" he finally
asked, looking at the animals teeth,
"Gentls as a dog" replied the lady,
"My father drove him twelve years
before he gave him to me, aud | have
rode behind him four years. He has
never once run away during that
time"
Pm afraid he's too gentle for my
use, madame. When the young
bloods drive they like to hire a spir-
tied horse" and the dealer softly
chuckled as the lady drove away, biting
her nails.
