JAMES In JAIL.
The Outlaw Receives Friends in His
Cell at Independence.
A Verdict of AcquittaI Expected---Bail
Refused.

KANSAS Cry, October AT hide
pendence, to-day, the crowd of curl
Gus ones was even greater than yes>
terday. A number of old friends
were admitted to the Jail. James
seemed in excellent spirits and ex-
pressed entire confidence in his abili-
ty to clear himself against the
charges that may be brought against
him. At the hotel, yesterday, he
wrote upon the register, Frank
James, wife and child, remarking
it was the first time he had signed
his real name in sixteen years
There were a number of bids
ders for the autograph, but the land
lord declined to permit the register
to be cut. James appearance strong
-ly indicates the rapid approach Of
consumption. Although ne asserts
he is in good health, it is evident he
is considerably broken physically, if
not in spirit. It is the general
opinion that he confidently expected
to be admitted to bail yesterday, and
there is no doubt he could give bond
in any amount that might be de-
manded- The regular term of the
Criminal Court occurs in November,
bat it is thought Judge White will
give hearing to the application for
bail before that time. There is a
great difference of opinion here as
to the probability of sufficient evil
dence being obtained to convict him
of the charges preferred in this
county. Opinions also are greatly
at variance as to the chances for
pardon in case of conviction. Mai.
James Edwards states positively
that James had no encouragement
farther than that offered in the LETT
ter from Governor Crittenden, pubs
hshed yesterday, The prisoner will
be held at Independence until furth>
er action is taken.

Letter from Greeneyille.

GREENEvILLE, Tenn, Oct. 8, 80.
/ Mr.. EDITOR: To-day Pettibone
and Taylor were listened to by one
OF the largest political gatherings
that has assembled at our county
seat for long time, and so far as
results are concerned the Republi-
cans of Greene County we're per-
fectly satisfied. There is but one
danger that the Republicans of the
first Congressional district vii have
to guard against, and that is they are
too sanguine of their success; and
on this point the Democrats hope to
gain victory in November. At the
closing of the campaign they intend
to make one grand push that will
stimulate every voter to come out to
the support of their ticket.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Republicans will be caught mapping
The especial object of this com,
munication is to give expression to
the great interest the leading Re-
publicans of the first Congressional
district are taking in the contest that
is going on in the second district.
1t is quite unnecessary to state
that the sympathies ofevery respecta
bic Republican are ON the side of
Capt. Rule. [ have taken some pains
to sound many of our best men on
this subject, and up to the present
time I have not found man, who has
the true interest of his party at
stake, who does not want Houk de-
feated.
The Democrats are holding up
Houk as an example to show what
kind of men the Republicans send to
Congress, when they have the power,
Since "Houk Illustrated" has been
handed around, many who were not
impressed before, are struck with the
deplorable condition the member of
Congress from the Second district
presents. In Gods name [ say to
the Republicans of your district, and
for the sake of common decency,
never again give your present repre>
sentative the chance to present such
a shameful and pitiable spectacle.
The Republicans of the Second dis
trict of Tennessee can not afford this
depth of degration.
The Republican party can not afs
ford it, common decency cannot afA
ford it. Even your Representative
himself cannot afford it. Therefore
| say IN common with all good Re-
publicans spare your Representative
and lead him not again where he
may be tempted.
REPUBLICAN.

A French lady recently died at the

physician, whose enlightened care
and wise prescriptions have made
me live so long, all that's C ntained
in the old oaken chest in my boudoir
The key of the chest will be found

solely all the drugs and potions, still

COrn-Shuckers'S Ball.

Saturday night the Corn
shuckers gave their first ball at
Frohsinn Hall, which had been
tastefully decorated with ever
greens and corn shucks, the
latter emblamatic OF the ancient
order, the members Of which
wore silk badges with the word
"cornshuckers" in gilt letters,
the badge being on a corn
suck ground surrounded by
grains OF corn. The music was
furnished by Prof. Voss' cele-
brated band. Although the at
tendance was not notably large
there were enough present to
comfortably fill the commo-
dious house, and the dance was
INDUCED by nearly all present,
and judging from appearances
was highly enjoyed, The var
ious committees were very active
in the discharge of their duties.
The Cornshuckers deserve great
credit for the entertainment and
have every reason to fell proud
of their success.

CAUGHT AND CAGED.-Last
Sunday night Bill Hogan, col
ored, effected an entrance into
the private room of Walling &
Bro, merchants at William
Penn, and carried off a trunk,
which he took into a field some
SO yards from the room he
then broke it open and pocket
ed some SIS or $50. Messrs.
Walling suspected Bill and an
ether negro named Harrison
Johnson of being the thieves
and on Monday wrote to con-
stable Gee telling him to look
out for the gentleman. Bill
had been spending money in
Washington freely during the
day. Mr.. Walling went to
Washington and identified some
of the money spent by Bill.
Mr.. Gee arrested him about a
mile and a half from Washing
ton. He also arrested Harrison
Johnson and released him TAX
ing pony for security. Harri-
son skipped. On Wednesday
Hogan had a preliminary ex-
animated before Squire Brooks
who fixed his bond at $500.
Hogan couldn't give it and on
Wednesday night constable Gee
arrived with him coming round
on the Central railway, as the
wagon roads are unnavigable.
Hogan is now safely housed in
the county jail.
