The Assault on M0j. HotcItkiss.

Editor st. Paul Globe:
PRESTON, MINI, July 16.-The dispatch from
Preston to the Pioneer Press, dated July ID, is
a gross Misrepresentation. A Mrs. Jewett did
make an assault upon me with pistol and
whip, without shadow of real cause. | had
never had anything to do with her, had never
slandered her, nor allowed her name to appear
In my paper. 1t was put up job-the pro.
curement of low set of political OPPONENTS
for the purpose of getting my name before the
public in a disgraceful way. This is the only
possible cause for the assault. l took the
whip from the woman without receiving a
blow, and kept it. Afterward ruf1ians held
me while she snapped her pistol at me. Please
publish this statement as a matter of Justice.
Yours, etc., w. A. HoTCHKrss.

a Frustrated Plot to Escape

FRANKFORT, KY, July 17.-Villainy was
actively at work yesterday in the penitentiary,
notwithstanding the Sunday school and con-
firmation services. While the former was in
progress at the chapel and songs Of praise
were ascending TO heaven, a number OF
convicts were at work in the tool house
secreiing jackscrews, files, saws, hammers,
and other articles serviceable in effectiDg an
escape. Had it not been for the timely dis
covery of Capt Hathaway, one of the guards,
the state would perhaps have cause to day to
advertise for the missing Sunday school class.
The ring leaders of the plot are no; known.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The cables were firm,
but the bears did not care for that and sold
the market away down again. The receipts
are large, and as the shipping demand has
dropped off largely, l do not know but we
may have still lower prices, still if there is
much more decline the farmers may hold back
their shipments when prices of course would
advance. | rather expect an up turn to-mor
row as the break has been big one and there
ought 10 be some reaction, but aIn more
than half inclined TO think that the advance
would not be permanent. The curb for Au-
gust IS Sl.044.
Corn was quiet and lower with the receipts
good. The continued good weather makes
me afraid of the long side. August is worth
75c on the curb.
Provisions broke quickly on reports Of vel
low fever somewhere, but | think Phil will
get under and give them lift soon.

ATHIEF CAUGHT.
Last week some valuable manuscript records
were distracted from the attorney generals
office. To-day fifteen of the stolen documents
were recovered and the suspected thief CAP
tured. He is an old employee OF the attorney
generals office named William Williamson,
and for considerable time held an important
desk in the department Of justice.
MAsoN'S RELEASE STILL DOUBTFUL.
The judge advocate general has submitted
to the secretary of war his report on the
petitions for the release of Sergeant Mason on
the ground that he is Illegally confined. Gen.
Swain merely reviews from a military law
stand point the legal points raised IN the
petition, and makes no recommendation. He
adheres strictly to the views expressed In his
original report on this case, that the proceed
IDgs Of the court martial were irregular and
Illegal. The case will not be reported to the
pres ident until after the return of Secretary
Lincoln. Secretary Chandler is acting secre-
tary of war.

The majority Of the people gathered in
Centre Square and on the first square of

the parade, but he is here. tie was seen by

he is pronounced . wonderful animal. The

left at home to take care of her parents.
Two months had hardly passed till both

with a fatal disease and thus was the on.
tire means of support of the family taken
way. Their condition WAS not made
public till Friday last. when the elder
daughter died literally OF starvation. The
chief of police was then notified, but the
story of the poor fami!y's sufferings was
heard so late as to render assistance Of
little benefit. for ON Sunday morning the
son, aged eighteen, followed his: elder Sis
ter into eternity, and yesterday tho youn-
ger daughter aud only remaining child
died. When visited by the polica tho
family was found to be in tho most desti-
tute condition, without even crust of

THE Ohio victory is growing. Ten
thousand majority was enough both for
the decision it made and the emphasis
with which it gave it; but the addi-
tional emphasis of thirty thousand makes
the teaching of the result still more i'm
impressive. 1t will thoroughly subdue
the already demoralized ranks Of
the Republican army, and it
will be hard for the leaders to
bring up respectable line Of battle
in any of the states next month. The
present Republican Congress will have a
melancholy time this winter and will
hive reason 70 regret the speed with
which il expelled Democratic members.
1t wOuil have been better TO wait and
see whether their OK would not be up at
the next session for gorIns. 1t is always
better for politicians to he decent and
fair, for they know not when the Lour Of
tribulation comes.
