Grand Rapids, April 8, 80.

Cornelius j. Vanderbilt, brother Of
Wm. H. Vanderbilt, shot himself at
Glenham Hotel, Fifth avenue. n Y,
April I'd at , o'clock and died from
the effect of the wound at 6 o'clock.
From the time of the shooting until
his death Vanderbilt was unconscious.
Many friends of the dead man and
members of his family were present
when he passed away. The motive
for the act given by his friends is that
it was the result of mental derange-
ment brought on by years of suffering
from epileptic fits. No other reason
could be given, as his financial affairs
were said 20 be in most prosperous
condition.

At convent on of colored men in

delegates from all the heavy negro
counties of the state, resolutions were
adopted to the effect ''that while we
do not favor the Abandonment of any
of the principles of the republican
party, and while we endorse the ad
ministration, we hail with pleasure
the unmistakable evidence of liberal
movement in North Carolina; and we
will support such liberal movement,
and will join hands with liberal men
who may have heretofore acted with
the democratic party, and who are
willing to bury the dead past in an
earnest effort to build up the state and
guarantee to all equal rights and
privileges. -"

A late dispatch from Independence,
Mo-, says it now looks as if the career
of the James boys was drawing to a
close. Their comrades are fast being
brought to justice. Excitement is
intense there because the notorious
Dick Little surrendered at Kansas City
and is alleged to have made a full con-
fession of all the crimes of the gang
for the past seven years, including
train robberies. Little surrendered
through the influence of his wife and
for few weeks past has been assisting
in arrangements for the capture Of the
remainder of the gang. His confess
sion is said to contain startling facts.

Jesse James Shot.

Sr. JOSEPH, April "a great
sensation was created in this city this
morning by the announcement that
Jesse James, the notorious bandit and
train robber, had been shot and killed
here. The news spread with great
rapidity, but most people received it
with doubts until an investigation
established the fact beyond question
Then the excitement became more and
more intense, and crowds of people
rushed TO that quarter of the city
where the shooting took place, anxious
to view the body of the dead outlaw
and to learn the particulars. In a
small shanty in the southeast part of
the city, on the hill not far from the

JESSE JAMES

has lived with his wife since some
time in November last. Robert and
Charles Ford, two of his gang. have
made their head quarters at his house.
and Charles, it is said, had lived with
him in that shanty ever since NoYem-
Der. Robert arrived about ten days
ago and the three were making pre-
parations for raiding expedition in
which they were to start tonight
James and the two Fords being in the
front room together about 9 this
morning, the former took off his belt
and laid his pistols on the bed, pre-
pairing to wash himself, when Robert
Ford sprung up behind him and sent
\ BULLET THROUGH HIS BRAIN.
The ball entered the back of his head
at the base of the right brain, coming
out over the eye. The Ford brothers
at once made known what they had
done and gave themselves up. They
are now under guard at the courthouse.
The body of Jesse James was con-
veyed to an undertaker's, where it
was prepared for burial and where a
photograph was taken. James wife
has telegraphed to his mother the news
of his death A number of men have
identified the body, and there is no
question about it being Jesse James.
a reporter viewed the body at the
undertaker's when it was being photo
graphed. He was a fine looking man,
apparently 40 years old, with a broad
forehead and
HIS PHYSI0GNOMY
was that Of an intelligent as we'll as a
Tesolute and daring man. The house
where James lived and in which he
was killed has the appearance of an
armory. A number of guns and
pistols, including a repeating rife, a
needle-gun and navy revolvers, with
a good store of ammunition were found
there. Jesse was ia the habit of
wearing two belts with brace of very
fine reviewers and twenty-five extra
cartridges. In small stable near by
were discovered several fine horses,
the property of James. The Ford
brothers claim that they are detectives
and that they have been on James
track for a long time. Its believed they
were with James in the Blue Cut rob
berry, and that they were influenced in
killing him by the hope of getting the
reward which has been offered for
James, dead or alive, by the governor
and by the express and railroad
companies.

prisonment, it should be done in ex-
press terms, and there should be Ia
riff fixed by the statute, showing how
much money is required as "A substitute
for one years imprisonment; then
men who want to commit crime would
know just precisely what the commits
sion of any given offence would cost
them, and the law would know just
precisely where to fix the bail, or to
what point it might he reduced after
forfeiture. Our Legislators of course
would see to it that the penalty in
money was fixed so that there would
be no pecuniary profit in committing
crime. They would not allow man
to steal IA thousand dollars and con-
done the offence on payment of five
hundred dollars; or make himself liza
BILE to the state in fines amounting to
ever so much, and get discharge on
payment of paltry recognizance.
Should not the next legislature be ask
ed to regulate this matter in some
such way?
There are one or two other aspects of
this liquor question which we propose
to allude to at some future time.

That Extraordinary Trial.

The trial of Guiteau is drawing to a
close, apparently, and it is one of the
things to be anticipated that the cOun-
try will soon be relieved of the long
drawn out folly of the trial, and of the
villainOus cur who has been the CEN
tral object of it. On Thursday morn
ing last the arguments before the jury
were begun by Mr.. Davidge. one of the
counsel for the government. In open
ing, he said the main question was that
of insanity, and argued that the pris-
oner had intelligence enough to dis
Germ his moral responsibility for his
act, and had the wit to see for himself
the fatal weakness of Mr.. Scoville's
line of defence. Mr.. Davidge, as he
proceeded, warmed with his theme, and
spoke with genuine eloquence. He
narrated the history of the inception
and the execution of the crime in terms
of crushing severity. The prisoner
alone seemed callOus to the scorching
sentences, and he at last was no longer
able to affect indifference behind his
newspaper, and burst out in spiteful
Interruptions, most of them irrelevant
and simply abusive. The audience
showed no inclination to listen to them
with sympathy or even in patience.
There was nothing like laughter at any
of his sallies. Mr.. Davidge occupied
two days in his argument.
On Saturday Mr.. Reed began the ar
gument for the defence. Before he be-
gan, Judge Cox, in regard to Guiteau's
desire to address the jury in his own
behalf, decided that he would not al
low him to do so, because he would be
very apt to abuse the privilege, as he
has done all through the trial. Mr..
Reeds argument was largely historical,
and lasted all day. On Monday Mr..
Scoville took up his argument in Gui-
teau's behalf, and occupied the time
until Wednesday in trying to convince
the jury that the prosecution were per-
secutOrs who wanted to hang an insane
man.

Our New York Letter.
New YORK, January l3, 1882.

AVE-" ONh1 iC1 hOC~'
For some reason or another that sec
ton of New York known as Brooklyn
sometimes furnishes more news of the
readable variety than old Gotham it
self. The venerable mantle of Tweed
has been divided among the Brooklyn
ties, and seventeen of the newly made
ex-city fathers have been hauled up
for sanctiOning a big elevated railroad
steal in contempt of an injunction. 1t
is to be sincerely hoped the rascals will
be rOundly fined and imprisoned, and
Pm sorry we can't have them soundly
whipped too.
Brooklyn is worth a few millions as
a manufacturing city, though people
hardly think of it in that connection.
Among other gigantic enterprises it
finds room for the largest sugar refin-
cry in the world, that of the Havemey-
ers. Their principal building, fire
proof of course, was burned last Sun
day, and 5000 workmen in mid-winter
have been thrown out. The proprietors
are insured, as all prudent business
men are, but what insurance company
ever insured the wages of employees
Once upon time, "before de wah," it
was the proud boast of our people that
every honest man willing to work
could find his daily bread, and some
thing over, in this promised land.
There were not a great many very
rich people in those days, and there
were no poor ones who didn't deserve
their poverty. Some statesman might
get his name up by enabling Uncle
Sam to resume such insurance bust
ness.
More of the militia have been dis
banded, and the way in which they be-
haved was the best possible exemplifi-
cation of the reason for the measure.
The disgraceful fellows insulted the
mastering officers and acted in a way
that in war time would have brought

1.-THE ST. Adams War"

NeighbOr Camp, of the Express, very
slurring the temperance workers at st.
Adams and belittling their efforts.
He has interviewed a prominent bust
ness man of that place, got at what he
believes to be the bottom facts, and is
pretty confident that the hotel men
have not played it on the temperance
committee, but will be looked after
sharply and prosecuted if they sell
liquor. He very pertinently asks why
these papers that pirate about leading
business men asking the hotels to open
do not publish names, so that the pub
lie may know who the men are that
advise hotel keepers to go right on vi
olating the law. Brother Camp thinks
the claim of the hotel men-that they
opened only at the urgent solicitation
of numerous prominent gentlemen
is. too thin, and was tTumped up as a
cover for their own folly.
We are just as anxious as the editor
of the Express To see the st. Adams
temperance people win this fight, and
hope that his prediction will be full
filed. But we might as well look at
the matter squarely and candidly. The
opening of the hotels, under the cir
cumstances, was to us very suggestive
of the windup of the main fight
though there may be something more
done by the committee" in the way
of minor raids-and we shall be agree
ably surprised if the hotels are mo-
Tested, to any great extent, in doing
business las heretofore" To inaugu-
rate such a movement as St. Adams
attempted is a big undertaking to sus-
tain it to "A successful issue is bigger
one, under the existing apathy among
the majority of the people and their
officials and it is not at all surprising
that St Adams has apparently failed
to make a go of it. When this apathy
is overcome, then ST. Adams, and any
other town in the state, can start and
carry out so desirable a reform as the
abolition of the rum traffic.

Personal and Political.

Secretary Frelinghuysen has less
than a dozen consulships now to fill,
but for these he has hundreds of appli-
cations.
Gen. Grant is said to have given up
contemplated visit to Washington
because of an army of iceseekers
who threaten to implOre his assistance.
Remenyi gave an extraordinary con-
cert i'll New York, last week, relying
on his violin alone to satisfy an audi
ence so large that it even occupied Il
good deal of the stage. Only player
in whose hands the violin is an instru-
ment of magic could succeed, but Re-
menyi did.
One of the men to whom politics has
been anything but paying profession,
says the Chicago Times, is Senator
Jones of Nevada, who, when he pur-
chased a seat in the Senate, was worth
many millions. 1t is doubtful if he is
now worth more than his Senatorial
salary. 1t is not impossible that he
may again be upon his feet, but just
now, it is said, he is anything but rich.
If he had kept out of politics he might
have harvested his millions.
President Arthur still keeps his cab
met vacancies dangling before I'M
happy aspirants. Sargent stock is
weaker, and it really looks as if the
President hesitated to take on that
kind of ballast Does he remember
the melancholy remark of one of his
friends in the presidency once that the
republican party had got to unload ~
1t took it a good while to unload. Can
Mr.. Arthur afford to load up with the
same kind of cargo that was then
thrown overheard p Springfield Re
publican.
There is little said about the "rebel
brigadiers' in the present Congress,
but there is pretty good number of
them on hand-eight in the Senate and
IL in the House. The Senate also has
four confederate colonies, one captain
and two privates, and the House has
Is colonies, = majors, Z captains, lieu
tenant and IA who were privates or
whose rank is not given.
Senator Voorhees, intends to make a
speech at an early day in defense of
the arrears of pensions act. He does
not wish the condemnation put upon
the act by Senator Beck to stand be-
fore the country as representing the
sentiment of the Democratic party.
He will claim that the Democratic par
ty originated and passed the act and
stands by it.
