All of us were in love, and the girls loved us. We had no money and did not see how we could support them if we married. We were determined to get mar ried, and so laid our plans to get money We read about the James boys in the pa pers and books, saw how easy it was to rob trains and get away, and decided to rob a train. We left home three weeks ago yes- terday, coming direct to Arkansas. Alter robbing the train we did not think we would be pursued. We were going back home with our money and there marry our girls and settle down. We had no accom- plices, and we planned the whole thing ourselves. Weonly got eight or nine thou sand dollars in cash from the express com. pany, the balance being in bank checks Monroe and kept the bulk of this, and all of it, with the exception of a few dollars, was stolen by the men who captured us, and hope they will be sent to keep us company l am sorry we failed to get away, but we acted like parcel of fools after We got the money, and so we have no one to blame but ourselves,

 THE Minnesota legislature convened in extra session in the hall of the St. Paul city market house, the capitol building having been destroyed by fire last winter The extra session was called by Coy. Pills bury in the hope that the vexed debt ques- ton might be settled. The holders of the bonds offer to accept fifty per cent. of the debt, This offer has been made before and rejected. The debt is some twenty five years old, and the people have always re- fused to pay it. In 1860, the constitutional amendment was adopted forbidding the payment of the bonds without first submit ting the question to the popular vote. This summer the supreme court of the state ruled that the amendment of 1So0 was in- valid, as it impaired the obligation of the contract, and that the bonds were a legal obligation This decision, it is claimed, leaves the legislature free to act; hence the called session. But it is by no means cer- tain that the legislature will assume the responsibility of accepting overtures of the bond holders. The present assemblymen were not chosen on the debt issue and there is some feeling among the people caused by this attempt to take snap judgment on the people, as it is called.

 IT seems to be pretty we'll understood that Postmaster Gen. James will remain in his present position at the desire of President Arthur, but he will not stay any longer than is required to wind up the star-route prosecutions. When these cases shall have been disposed of he will retire at his own request, as an important position with higher pay awaits his command in New York. If Gen. James remains in the cabinet as now seems assured, First Assistant Postmaster Gen. Tyner will probably retire. He has never, it is said, been in accord with James administration of the department, and those familiar with James purposes and intentions say Tyner would Have gone out long ago had not President Garfield been shot. It is an open secret at the department that Tyner retires if James re- mains.

THE VOTE
 DEs MONIES. Oct 1.-The total pool of Iowa last year was 32i .O00 Partial reports from nine counties indicate that there will be falling off this year of probably 60,0Oo. In Des Moines alone there is falling off Of 9S7 votes
 In this city only 3,162 votes were boiled, a falling off of over 800 since last year. The tickets are badly scratched, and it will take nearly all night to count them.
 It has rained here all day and reports are that the rain has been general all over the state. Indications are now that not over two thirds vote has been cast. A hard thunder storm with high winds is now pre- vailing, and it is probable that this will night, especially as in this state none of the ballots are counted until alter he pools are closed
 DUBUQUE Oct. 11.-Returns thus far are very meagre, showing light vote through out all the north towns. Only four cen towns are heard from. all with the exception cf Clayton county, giving Republicans ma jorities which hold their own. light vote was cast in this county. The Democratic state ticket so far as heard from has ma. jorisy of 9l3 with five Democratic town ships to hear from. Graves, anti-Amend- ment Republican, is elected state senator by a majority estimated at 1,200. Three Dem ocraiic representatives are elected.
 HOW IT STANDS.
 Sixty-four counties, almost complete, give sherman Ret majority of Sl, 20. The remaining thirty-fve counties last year gave Garfield 22600 majority. It is esti- mated by the Republicans that Sherman's majority will be 48,000, and the Democrats coacede 10000. The Republicans estimate that the senate will stand A Republicans to Democrats and Greenbackers, and the house 77 Republicans to 19 Democrats and f Greenbackers. The official count will not vary these figures more than three or four either way.

A London dispatch says: At Newmarket the race for the Czarwitch stakes was won by Foxhall, Chippendale second, Fiddler third. Nineteen ran. The betting against Foxhall just before the start was 9 to 2. He took up the running three. quarters of a mile from home, and won in the common est cauter by about ten lengths. Retreat and Mistake failed to secure place. Fid- dler is by Preakness out of Music. Ameri- GUS made the running at good pace from Thunderstruck, Falkirk and Ambassadress. The most prominent of the next lot were Retreat, Foxhall and Ollerton. The horses ran thus with little change, until rather over amne from home. when Fiddler drsw to the front, followed by Thunderstrnck, Ambassadress, Foxhall and Retreat. This order was maintained until one quarter mile from home, when Foxhall shot to the front, followed by Chippendale and Efd- dler, winning the race amid great excite ment.
 Great excitement was caused in sporting circles in New York upon receipt of this information. James R Keene, the owner of Faxhall of course was delighted over the victory. His winnings are said to be upwards of $500, ,000 and operators ot sporting proclivities have won all the way from $i ,000 to Sl0, ,0O0 Keene himself says Foxhsll was backed to win $2500,000.
