arose as to who was liable for the costs,
and the police Judge said that unless the
law could be clearly shown to make
him liable, he would not pay them. The
probate Judge assessed the costs against
the city marshal, claiming that the de-
PENDANT, having been placed under ar
rest, should not have been released by
him upon his promise to appear. as he
had no authority to release him IN any
event, but particularly without bond,
and that having so been released, he
was TO longer under arrest. and there
was no law requiring him 10 appear and
that his imprisonment was unjust. He
is out of Jail. and still holds the records.

The Georgia senator en- Route for

From the St. Louis-Post Dispatch, April 25. ]
United States Senator Ben. Hill, OF
Atlanta, Ca, accompanied by his wife,
his son, G. D. Hill, and his physician,
DR.. j. L. Wright, is registered at the

the Post-D Dispatch sent up q card to Sem
atorlIill, but word was returned that the
enalor could not receive any visitors.
A written request for Information
brought to the rotunda the young Mr..
Hill and DR.. Wright. The senator's
SON is about twe nty-eigbt years OF age,
and a modest. brIght-looking gentle
man,. To the reporter he said:
"My father regrets that he can not see
you, but his weak condition warns US to
spare him all the disturbance we. can.
He insisted on talking to you, but we
finally persuaded him out OF it, and now
he says to give his compliments to the
Post-Dlspatch and say that he admires
its course on public questions, believing
it to be u true democratic newspaper.
MY father has always been interested in
the editorial comments OF your paper"
"What IS Senator Hills physical con-
dition Pr
I'VE do not disguise the fact that he
is Ill and weak, while the very nature
of the disease makes his recovery q slow

(Which direction are ysu traveling?"
"Our destination is Eureka Springs,
where we expect to test The healing

DIR. Wright then interposed and said:
"The senator has borne the Journey
thus far with remarkable fortitude and
is in excellent spirits"

pearance OF improvement"
evil the senator ultimately re.
Govern"
"That question belongs to the future.
There is no telling what may arise here
after, but l can say that the present in
dications are favorable to his recovery"
The senator and his party expect to
resume their journey toward Eureka
Springs tomorrow morning.

Our usually fair friend Of the State
Journal says:-''The Lexington 1ntelli-
gencsr is true to Bourbonism instincts In
declaring that republicans are deserving
of nothing but lsathIng and dislike.
There is an army of n hundred and
ninety thousand republican voters in
Missouri. They have had some pretty
tough experience. but yet they prosper.
and we have strong hopes that they will
survive this outburst OF the Intelligen-
GERS whitening hate" We are neither
Bourbon enough to make such a declar-
alton as this. nor to use such English as
..Bourbonism Instincts" We never
said what is attributed to us, nor any
thing like it. So far are we from be-
licving that republicans are deserving
of nothing but loathing and dislike
that some of the very best friends we
have are republicans. We respect
aud honor them. as being good citi-
and worthy men. A campaign
lie was once started on the writer to
the effect that he had said when q
for All Office that he did not
desire any republican to vote for him,
and it has been repeated since. 1t
a very thin. transparent lie, as
usually want all the votes
they can get, and as some of the best
in the county were his
in the contest alluded TO, which
hey would certainly not have been had
such a declaration been made. We
not surprised at anything coming
rom the source from which that false
rood emalated, but we r surprised at
Mr.. Burch's misstatement. What we
lid say was this. 1.-THE democracy of
Missouri owes nothing to the republican
party except loathing and dislike"
which is a very different thing from the
anguage attributed to us. and which
we stand ready to maintain
md defend. When you hurl your crush
ng sarcasm at rs, dear Burch, put OH
he armor of truth in which to back your
,plthets.

Cass and Clay counties, as follows -
"There Is no prospect whatever that
Clay county will be included in the

bills on the maps yet made SO includes
it, and in but one cast has Cass county
been Incorporated with Jackson. The
probability, amounting almost to a GER
tainty is that the new district will CONSIST

argument the Jackson delegation. can
make will affect the result. because Cass
and Clay are needed in the other dis

consulting their desires. The best the

secure a small district OF these three
counties by excluding Pettls from the
almost matured plan."
