JAY GOULD INTERVIEWED,
tDeuyor I'ribune1

tbenVer Iri bune.l
Jay Gould has the reputation of being
tho hardest man in the country to inter-
view. He has probably not forgotten
his experience in Denver some years
ago. He came here on important bus
iness aud secreted himself in room at
tho Alvord House. All attempts of
the reporters to reach him proved
futile, till at last the city editor of the
Tribune, disguised in the coat and cap
os Pullman car conductor, contrived
to run the gauntlet of the numerous
lackcys that guarded the approaches to
the railway magnate's apartment.
Gould was engaged in close conversa-
tion With his solicitor, Judge Usher,
when the city editor made his appear
ance. Who the ID are you?" de-
tnandcd Mr.. Gould. :" am Al reporter" :"
was the reply, "and l have come to
get certain news of you that you alone
can give. You have not asked me to
take II chair, so am going to sit right
down here" And with that the city
editor dropped himself plump upon the
tho floor and pulled out his notebook.
Gould exploded his wrath in a few we'll
selected oaths, but it was no use. 81
am a bigger man than you are, Mr..
Could" explained tho newspaper man,
" and il you try to put me out, you and
/ will have a fight right herc.' The
consumfnatc check of the man fairly
fascinated Gould. In the meantime
Judge Usher was leaning back in his
chair, c0nvulScd with laughter. He
had known the newspaper man for
years, and fully appreciated the fact
that he would stay till he got what he
came for. Well, Gould put his hand
over his mouth, with ono finger
stretched up alongside Of his hooked
nose, and, looking all tho time straight
into the city editors eyes, he cotn-
menced to talk. And he kept on talk
ing until enough information had been
obtained.

Nine months Of hard and ingenious
labor by Johnnie Snnsomc, II convict in
the prison of Folsom, Cal. , enabled him
to escape. by thrusting Il wire down
between the granite blocks in the floor
he discovered Il cavity underneath,
which was an abandoned sewer. With
n chisol which he smuggled from the
workshop and II heavy piece OF wood, l.,
he broke one of the stones. This
required Il month, because he could
only strike Il blow when II door was
closed, or some other noise was made
to hide it, and he frequently sat up all
night without being able to strike. more
than once or twice. In the day time
Inc was i'm the shop. After removing
the half squire of granite he dug slowly
down through three feet Of stone and
cement, first boring IL hole and letting
the chips fall through it. Atthc end OF
three months he got into the sewer
found it plugged with stone and cement
ten feet thick at its former outlet. Jhc
remaining six months were spent in
digging through this obstruction. lie
worked night and naked, leaving his
clothes so arranged in bed that the
guard supposed he was in them. Foul
ras in the sewer nearly suffOcated him,
loss of sleep made him i'll, and his
weight fell Off twenty-five pounds. But
he got out at last. Within three hours
An officer recognized him and he was

THAT FAMINE REPORT.
tCapitoliau-Advocate.l

l
The report that the people of several
OF the parishes Of North louisiana
We're in Il destitute condition, Is being
denied on all sides by gentlemen Of
prominence residing in the localities
referred to. No such state Of affairs
exists as that which has been depicted
in the resolutions adopted by meet
ing held at Columbia.
No doubt that the drOuth of last sum-
mer and the floods of this winter have
made the outlook discouraging about
Caldwell parish. But this does not
constitute absolute want.
From the new light thrown upon the
subject, we are led to the conclusion
that number of people out there
assembled on rainy day aud became
badly demoralized about this years
prospects, and that they exercised the
nreat right of petition which is guar
anteed to the American citizen, by the
Constitution.
The resolutions acted like huge
bombshell, and exploded all over the
country, at once.
Now, according to a Picaqune special
from New York, comes the bad results
OF the pronunciamento. 1t says:
"The published statement that the
people Of the best parishes of Month
Louisiana are in n destitute and suffer-
ing condition has caused considerable
alarm throughout the North, mingled
with adverse comment. The whole
affair would be regarded as a canard,
except that so reputable paper as the
Times Democrat, of New Orleans, in
dorses the statement.
The Southwestern Emigration Soci-
ETY. has, for the time being, relaxed its
nfr rNNfS l. l,n1(
GERS holding that if the natives of those
parishes cannot live off the country, it
would be Il bad place to send strangers
to. A denial of the truth Of the state
mcnt ssnd an explanation of the motives
of those who started the reports has
been published in some papers in this
city bnt your Executive, If the reports
are unfounded, ought to issue procla-
nation declaring such to be the case"

THE SLAUGHTER or BUFFALO,.
lEarrO ArgMS.l

Tho wanton slaughter of one OF the
great distinctive game of the Ameri-
can plains has attained such hidcOus
proportions that, if Congress does not
immediately suppress it, the extinction
Of tho buffalo is only question OF two
or three years time. The DeadWOod
Pioneer of February 2d says:
Fred Allcr returned from n success
ful buffalo hunt between Big and Lit
tic Powder rivers, where he slaughtered
any amount of those noble animals,
together with any amount Of smaller
game. lie could have killed many
more than he did, but as he had all the
meats and pelts he could haul, he
returned. While out he met with four
parties of Indians and many white
hunters who are slaughtering the game
ut IL sinful rate. One instance that came
under his observation will show how
the buffalo are being wiped out. One
hunter killed thirty in one day and
never even took their hides. The prai.

In reference to the quarrel in tho

Philadelphia Times says: "Thc trou.
bles which Senator Malone il expe-
riencing in his efforts to get rid Of State
Auditor Massey in Virginia still con-
tinue. 1t has been IA great surprise to
some Of Mahope's friends that he
should want to part with Massey, who
is probably the ablest Of his licutenants.
He was very prominently mentioned
for the gubernatorial nomination list
year, and there was no man among tho
! Readjusters better qualified for the posi-
ton. The fact undoubtedly is that Ma
hone fears Masscy's ability aud will be
glad to have his power broken. But
Whatever Mahone's purpose, there is
no questioning the fact that the party
is now badly split up and threatens I"
stay so.'

DIED IN A TREE.

We learn from Mr.. j. B. O'Neal yes
terday the facts conccrning case where
d cOiOred man, named Henry Lemons,
died In tree, on the night of tho :lr.l
inst. 1t seems that Mr.. O'Neal and tho
colored man were returning to their
houses In Boisser Point on the night
named, and after dark they reached II
stream known as Fox Skin, which they
attempted to ford, little thinking t:ie
rains had raised 1t SO high as to make
1t dangerous. The colored man was
ahead riding Il mule and leading II
horse, and la crossing the stream tho
mule he was riding commenced to
swim. In few moments he called to
Mr.. O'Neal that the inule was sinking
and that gentleman told him to catch
to a tree, which he did, and climbed
into 1t. IL was Impossible for Mr..
O'Neal to get to where he was, and nc
went back to Mr.. N. B. Muriff's house
and reported the accident, and Mr..
Muriff and some Of his hands went to
| the place to render assistance, but 1t
| was impossible TO reach tho man,
although they could converse with him
from where they were standing. Somc
cOlored men also gathered on the oppo-
site side of the stream, built fires and
constructed raft to try and rescue him,
but did not succeed. In the morning
some colored men went up to where no
was and found him dead, hanging TO
the limbs Of the tree. 1t is supposed nc
became chilled and died from tho effects
The only way they could get him to
the raft was to place rope around the
body, which they did. He wis after
wards buried by his wife and friends.
Mr.. ONeai informs us he was good
and Industrious colored man, aud his
untilnely death Is much regretted by
his friends in the Point. The mule he
was riding and the horse he was lead
ing both reached the shore, and were
covered.-IsHs~re7,o,t Standard, 1871.

WASHINGTON, February l3.-Tho
Tennessee men here are as uneasy
about their Offices as the Kentuck
ians. 1t is settled that Colonel Warder
will have to give up his place as Dis
trict Attorney for East Tennessee,
and that Judge McLain, Of Nashville,
will be appointed in day or two. The
Republican members from Tennessee
could not agree on a man for the place.
Pettibone was for the retention OF
WardeI, HOAX was for Miller and
Moore was for Trimble. So the Pres
ident took his choice regardless of all
and selected Nc Lain who was Judge
of the Supreme Court of the State
under the Brownlow regime. He is
said to be good lawyer, came from
the North originally, and is well
known.
District Attorney Murray, Of West
Tennessee, will go out an9 A. II.
Poston, of Haywood county, will have
the place. The main reason given
for this change is that Murray held
the place for eight years. This reason
does not seem to satisfy his friends,
who are severely down on Congress
man Moore.
Colonel H. Baker was talking this
morning about the decision in the
Tennessee debt funding case. He
says it gives the State back to the
Democrats with $4,000 majority, and

The war between the students and

were expelled for not admitting a col
ored boy as a member of literary So
ciety, are returning to their homes.
Some have remained in Maryville to
await further action Of the faculty.
They claim that this society is entire.
ly independent Of the college and the
faculty, aud are privileged to refuse
admission to any one they see fit.
Much indignation is felt at President
Bartlett's action in the matter. He
proposes to amalgamate the races by
educating them together. Many Of

vile College are from Republican
families, and say that they can stand
a good deal of this kind of business,

A BAD POSTMASTER.
James Daniels, of WOOdsOn.
Collects Money and Leaves

Little Rock Gazette, l2l
The postmaster at Woodson Aon the
Fine Bluff road, is missing. Some
time ago James Daniels came to this
State from Canada, and going to
Woodson, was taken as a partner by
Or. Stone, a well known merchant
The following special telegram to the
Gazette, dated at Woodson. February
18th, is briefly explanatory:
james Daniels, postmaster at this
place, and connected with the firm Of
Stone & Daniels, has skipped the
country, taking every cent he could
lay his hands on, not only taking what
belonged to the firm, but all he could
borrow"
Several days ago Daniels came to the
city, and in the name of the firm of
which he was a member, collected
about $1,000. He took, as it is now
learned, quite large sum of money
from the store. In all, DR.. Stone has
been defrauded of about $1,000 It is
supposed that he has gone back to
Canada.

they knew that insiders had not sold

that these insiders had sold and bor-
rowed bonds for delivery. The dis
covery has not given any great amount
of pleasure to certain Broad street op-

Wall Street News, 11th.l
The losses in the street during the
past few days on Tennessee bonds have
been enormous. The banks had grown
to regard the bonds as good securities,
and conservative institutions had re.
celved them as collateral upon ordi-
nary margins. The reason why Ten
pessee bonds are quoted IN" is that
they are mixed, which means,that the
courts, the State, and especially the
holders of the bonds are mixed. In
deed, the holders at about rs are so
mixed that they don't know what
to do.
