THE JAMES BROTHERS.
ST. Louis special to the Now York

ST. Louis special to the New York
Sun:
Odd as it may seem, the old PROPOSE
| ton that tho James brothers shall sur
! render to the State authorities, on the
assurance Of n fair trial, has been reviv-
ed. They have been outlawed since
they served under Quantreti, tho
guerrilla. during the war. They stand
charged with about nine-tenths of the
deviltry perpetrated in Missouri and
adjoining States since the war closed.
There are still people in Missouri who
believe tho James boys are more sinned
against than SHINING. These have held
that the brothers would have sur
rendered long ago but for fear of sum-
mary punishment for acts perpetrated
while the war was going on. These
defenders of the outlaws include men
standing high in business and political
circles in the western part of tho State.
Since the Winston and Glendale rob-
berries they have been to the Governor
and renewed the negotiations for the
surrender.
Speak,ns of the James brothers and
the pending proposition, Gov. Critten-
den said: $50 far as 1 can learn they
are out Of the State. Gen. Joe Shelby
says that they have made an offer to
surrender to SeVefat 0OVefnOfS IN MIS-
souri,, claiming that if given n fair trial
they can establish their innocence.
Now, want you to say for me that
they have not done so also that if they
want to surrender aud prove them
selves innocent, as their frsends say
they can, will guarantee them fair
and impartial trial. pledge myself to
go ON the ground and see that they get
fair play. I do not mean by this to
extend to them pardon for anything
they have done. They must face the
courts on all charges preferred against
them, and any amnesty they get must
be from the courts; but they will get a
fair trial, and as their friends profess
that this is all they want, I desire to
assure them that this awaits them.
On my way here I met man who is
friend of the James brothers, and he
said.hc would carry this news to Them"

The Cotton Crop.

PLANTERS have been busy picking
cotton ever since it opened, to the OK
clusion Of almost every other demand
of the farm, and the result is, that, with
the rapid opening and fine weather,
the gathering has been unprccedentcdly
heavy for this time of tho season and
the cotton unusually free from trash or
stain.
Planters differ about the yield, but
no single planter with whom we have
conversed claims above two.thirtls of a
crop, while much the greater number
claim no more than half, aud many,
less.
The stamplc is strong, but short, and
those who have been ginning say that
the seed are uncommonly heavy.

THE FUTURE OF MONROE.
New Orleans Picavune. 18th.

The Trenton editor of the OUAcHITA
TELEGRAPH, refusing on behalf of the
Trenton merchants the Bulletin invita-
ton to them to come down and occupy
the present plains of Cottonport, states
it as Ga matter of the most definite
certainty that Monroe will not be
benefited by being transformed from a
terminal point into a way station, with
4 removal of the shops to Shreveport
or Vicksburg." Treuton's 52S people
may be a tritie jealous of NIonroe's
2O7O though without much reason, for
the position of a pleasant suburb is not
at all unpleasant. But we hope that
Monroe's thrifty merchants, who
handle q good many bales of cotton
annually, will not be far from a way
station next year, when the Alexandria
road runs up the valley on its journey
toward st. Louis but we anticipate no
disastrous consequences.
The fact is that the position Of a way
station on 4 thOroughfare is superior to
that of a terminus, unless that terminus
be at point of connection With other
principal roads or water courses. So
long as road makes an uncertain and
temporary terminus at country
village, it is source OF injury rather
than Of prosperity. The elements of
uncertainty are unfortunate. The ter
minal facilities are not important, and
the terminal population is usually not
important either. But so soon as these
uncertain elements are eliminated, the
town begins to make growth on q
normal and substantial basis, and its
increase of wealth and population
abides. 1t is not very desirable for
road to have its shops at terminal
point; way station, which offers
more quiet to families of workmen,
and less temptation to children, and
less decentralization to employees, is
quite as likely to retKin the location of
shops as to lose it. Conservatism is
always against a change, and railroad
managers are likely TO favor that
which is most to the interest of their
roads.
The Trenton Reporter says that upon
cotton almost alone does Monroe's
existence depend, and on it alone does
Trenton survive. This condition is
but it is temporary. The
mistakes of Louisiana agriculturists
will be outgrown. The natural princi-
pie Of the survival of the fittest will
mistakes. Those who depend
on cotton alone, and who arc guilty of
providing themselves in advance with
the necessity of paying 81 q bustcl for
corn, out of the overburlened proceeds
OF diminished cotton crop, will gradu-
ally but surely sink and disappear.
Then it is not certain that Monroe's
cotton business will be diminished by
additional railroad communication
North, South and West. The railroads
grow, but the country grows too. There
is a certain radius within whose sweep
Monroe's prosperity will increase.
And she will thrive more than over,
when, instead of being a terminal point
on a fractional subaqueous road, she
has risen to the position of the most
important North Louisiana station on
tho great New Orleans and st. Louis
short through line.
