Que of the grandest schemes of consoida-

1t was mentioned in general way that
agents who had been properly commissioned
were at work in a quiet but effective way

STOCKS that were placed on the markets. NO
names were uttered in this connection, but
the air OF mystery and an austere silence
affected, when closely interrogated, led many
to denounce the reports as faorications

lators Time developed the fact that the
statements could not be suppressed, until
eventually they assumed defnite shape anu

Two negroes were put on the auction
block, much in the style Of slavery
days, at Lexington. KY, a few days
ago. They had been sentenced 70
years servitude apiece for vagrancy,
and their labor for that term was what
was offered for sale. A cattle auc-
tioncer was the salesman, and the men
were critically examined, with many
pokes and pinches, Just rs slaves used
to be. The first to 6e put up was fat
old fellow, and the bidding advanced
very slowly to twenty dollars. BLESS

The New Madrid Outlaws.

From the ST. Louis Republican, June 1G
The latter part of last week saw the
prisoners Myers, Brown, and MITCHELL
leave the ST. Louis Jail. They were
taken down to the steamer Colorado
and shipped to the scene of their crimes
once more. At Commerce, Mo-, the
boat shove to-" Judge Foster was
taken aboard at that place, which is
his home. Then the boat went south
again, and landed at New Madrid early
Friday morning. There was tremen-
dous crowd waiting and watching for
the arrival of the prisoners. There
was no shouting, and not a single
threat of lynchiug. From the boat the
Judge, the people, and the prisoners
went to the Court House. At the
Court House the first thing done was
the impannelling of Grand Jury. 1t
was done in very short time. In
very short time, too. the Grand Jury
had examined the case and found in
dictments for murder i'm the first de-
gree against Myers and Brown
Against Mitchell they found an in
dictment for murder, charging him to
be an accessory after the fact. The
trial was set for Monday to give them
time to prepare their case. The de-
fence was as well prepared on Friday
morning for trial as they were OIL Mon
day morning, for there was 10 defence
to be made.
Monday morning came. There was
a crowd about the Court House aud in
it. Judge Foster presided over the
Court. A Petit Jury was impanelled.
The Judge appointed H. &. Riley, c. Z.
Hawkins, aud Richard DamaIl to de-
fend the prisoners. There appeared
for the State Chas. A. LaFofge, cousin
of Robert LaForge. who WAS killed by
the prisoners, and for the murder of
whom they were being tried; Hon. Il.
A. Hatcher, and Jos. j. Russell, Prose-
cutting A Attorney of Mississippi county.
The trial was short. Three or four
witnesses were examined. Their evil
dence proved the guilt of the prisoners.
Nc defence was attempted other than
the rigid cross-examination of the
States witnesses. The jury received
the case on Tuesday morning aud went
out. In eight minutes they returned
q verdict in the case of Myers and
Brown of murder in the first degree.
Judge Foster asked them if they had
anything to say why judgment should
not be passed upon them. They both
answeted in the negative. Myers and
Brown were then sentenced to be
hanged on July l5, which date viii be
just two months and four days from
the date on which Robert LaForge
was murdered. The Judg would have
liked to make it an even two months,
but the law prevented.
Myers and Brown were disposed of.
Without delay Mirchell's case was call
ed. Mitchell is only 10 years old. He
arose from his seat. He was pale and
he shook and trembled as with the
ague. He stated slowly that he knew
nothing about the murder, being sixty I
miles distant from the scene Of the |
crime at that time. He admitted
knowing the men implicated in the
murder, but he had committed no
crime. His first meeting with the men
was in the Jail after they had been ar
rested, and he had not been with them |
before for long time. He had moth |
ing whatever To do with the murder of
LaForge, but simply happened TO be!

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-Senator Cameron
has returned to Harrisburg after pleasant
holiday visit to Cleveland and Mentor. Lie
was accompanied by Charles T. Smith, OF
the Philadelphia Press, and George {. Cor
ham, of the washington National Republic
an. They went from Cleveland to Mentor
in 4 special train. The President-elect sent
his carriage to the depot to meet them. and
they spent the greater part Of the day at his
house. 1t has been incorrectly stated that
John G, New, Of Indiana, and Senator
KIrkwood Of Iowa, were OF the
party. Mr. New was not there 1T
all, and Senator Kfrkwood arrived after the
Cameron party had returned to Cleveland.
Senator Cameron's friends, with whom he
has talked since his return, are reticent, but
there is the best reason to believe that his
interview with Gen. Garfield was mutually
agreeable. and that in all Of the President
aioct,s mans. so far as they have been
matured, he will have the cooperation Of the
Panusylvania Senator 1t is reported that
fonr flames are before Mr.. Garfield with
reference to place i'll the Cabinet

Of Philadelphia, for master-General, and
Wavne AIacVeagh, W. Il. Armstrong. and

General. There is also an independent
movement to make Wharton Barker, the
banker, and ow1ier of the Amcr'ca71 news

Rarker does not enter into Senator Cam-
eron'S calculations.
