What G Country.

Can such another strip Of country lie found as
that portion of Missouri commencing Just below
st. Joseph, and extending 10 point below JEFF
ferson City, on both sides Of the river' We do
not refer to The topography the SOIL or the crops
but to the race of people it has produced That
strip of country has produced and contains thou
sands of as good people as can be found any
where; but. on the other hand, it has turned out
more outlaws and human wild beasts to the
square mile than almost any other tract of the
same extent in the world. During the Rebellion,
when mos. of the people of the South went into
the army, aud engaged in a fair, stand-up fight,
the population Of this strip generally took to the
brush, and fought in ambush or in darkness. In-
stead OF wasing warfare, they dealt in pillage,
murder, and assassination. The bands of Guam
trel and Bill Anderson, fcIds in human shape,
whose names will be exeerated as long as history
lasts, came from the brush In this strip of land.
Citizens who sympathized with the Union,
ceived no mercy; aud soldiers who were sent in
to look after those gangs, knew they had to deal
with worse than savages That whole country
lived in constant terror, and probably respect
able man in it enjoyed good nights sleep dur
ing the war. And after the close of the war,
these gangs of bush whackers turned into robbers
and banditti, making swoops at night upon men
of wealth, who were engaged in building up the
business of the country, OF upon farmers who
were aecumulating competence, or upon rail-
road trains laden with unarmed people engaged
in the peaceable pursuits of travel. They not
only robbed, but they killed. They killed those
who showed resistance; killed those whom they
suspected might offer resistance; killed unarned
and unrssis;ing men, from sheer wantouness, and
to strike terror into others, and render them
helpless. And howl is raised over the right
eous taking off of those beasts and leading citi-
zens hasten 10 offer courteses to their aders and
abettOrs.
What sort Of breed is it that produces these
outlaws, who seem to take 10 it from instinct
Where does the stock come from, and what is
there abont it, that makes its progeny prefer
robbery to honest labor, and murder to quiet
and decent life

SALE OF "SAcRED REIICs."-The traps and
trash found in Jesse James house, at st. Joseph,
were sold at auction, on Monday, and drew n
large crowd. Men and women standing high in
society, bid brskly, seeming to attach the great
est value to those articles more nearly connected
with his most brutal and bloody acts. There is
a well founded rumor, that many thrifty citizens
Of st. Joseph, knowing that the sale would be
crowded with wealthy fools, eager TO spend their
money for mementoes of an ontlaw, quietly took
in n large amount of trash of no use to them,
such MS broken dishes, pie. plates, wash-basius,
etc. BY dividing the profits with the James
family, they found no difficulty in having their
wares admitted on sale. A worthless dog, that
would have been shot in 4 few days. was put in
by its owner, and brought s15. Probably aristo-
cratic ladies did not know that they were paving
high prices for the castoff dishes of cocred bar
bers' wives; but they will do as well rs any
thing for Jesse James relics.

An Old She Wolf.

The mere fact that she is an old woman, shonid
protect Mrs SanueIs, the mother Of the James
bows, from any insult or incivility; but what
there is about her to entite her to the obsequious
attentions of would-be leading men, who seem
10 vie with each other in offering her service, or
why railroad trains and public conveyahces
should be placed at her service, is more than we
can soe From all accounts, she is perfect OLD
hell-cat, more like a wild animal than human
being. Where her outlaw sons got their dispo-
stion and character, is not hard TO guess Ar.
James, her first husband, was preacher, VINO
enigrated to California, because he could not
live with her. his and her were the robber
Janes boys. She then married DIR. Samuels, and
her son hy him is off the same piece of goods.
He is now living at the point of death, from the
effects of a wound received in some deNlitry- No
matter who the father, when she is the MOTHER
the offspring are devils. She knew that her SONS
were guilty OF all horrible crimes, from the mar
der of defenceless people down to the meanest
petty crimes. She harbored and shielded them'
and denounced all attempts To bring them 10
justice, as acts of treachery, deserving death.
Every person who laborsd for their arrest, she
hs, denounced a. a traitor and murderer, and
threatened vengeance upon them. Her conduct
from the time Of the shooting of Jesse until after
his burial, was simply horrible. As the affair
was almost the sole subject of conversation, She
could not but hear it, as she went along. In al
most one breath, she implored them TO pity the
feeling, of a mother and cursed all who were
in checking her sons career of
crime. She would declare that jesse was iii
heaven, and consign his slayers TO hel. Her
blood-stained. bandit son, who became such 10y
inhcriting her temper, she would glorify as an
angel, aud call upon her wounded son, who was
on the bed of DEATH TO get well, so that he could
kill the man who shot Jesse. Such creature
has no human motherly feeling. 1t is thr feroei-
ty of a wild beast.

Trophies of a Martyr-Hero.

Jr.ss James is dead. Although everybody
s.enled to desire his death, now that he is dead,
his SLAYER is denounced a traitor and assassin
For months and months, Gov. Crittenden was
denounced for not doing more than it was in his
power to do, to bring the outlaw robbers to pun
ishment. He listened to the public demand, and
took such means As were in his power TO satisfy
il. As result, the dead body Of the robber
leader has been put under the sod, and the pub
lie relieved of terror. But, instead of receiving
the public thanks, he, too, is denounced for con-
spring to have the outlaw assassinated. In
short, Jesse James is n nartyred saint, and those
who compassed his death are assassins- The
saint left a large amount of booty, the trophies
of his many heroic exploits, and the authorities
are abused for attempting 20 hold il for its right
ful owners. instead of allowing the saints gang
to eonfscste it. What is this booty that the
dead hero risked his life 10 accumulate' Gold
watches, stolen from the bedrooms Of old men,
or from defenceless passengers in wrecked rail
road trains, with revolvers at their foreheads.
Diamond rings stripped from the fingers, and
gold earrings taken from the Of terror
stricken women. Gold br-ast-pins, chains and
Iockets taken from the breasts and neeks of
they escaped death OF outrage. Perhaps, in the
hurry 10 ge: those ear and finger rings, the ears
of the wearer were torn, the fingers lacerated.
But the hero was after the precious metal, anc
the ears and fingers might take care of them
selves.
But this hero earned laurels in war, as well as
in peace. Shooting down unressting men IN 4
crowded car, in order to terrify the passengers,
and induce them to give up their wealth freely,
was not the greatest of his exploits. He was
magnanimous. He never gave an 'gponent
chance. lie loved TO shoot man in the back,
OF while asleep. He would take wounded, in-
valid soldiers frem ear. stand them in row,
aud shoot at them for a mark, at very short
range He would seize wealthy Union citizen,
strip his feet bare, aud set them ON live Goals OF
fire. in order TO force him TO divnlge where his
money wa. hidden. All, he was . hero, and 1t
will require the pen of heIo-worshipPer to re-
cord his great deeds. Now he is a saint IN HeaS-
en-. His mother says 50, and the public press
corroborates her. Aud his slayer and the Gov
ernor of Missouri are asssssins and robbers.

e Tom Pierce has been badly beaten for
Justice of the Peace, in Atchison. Even the
strong Republican Third Ward went heavily
against him. The principal reason assigned for
this defeat is, that Pierce was filling a vacancy
in the office by appointment from Gov. st. John I;
and the people OF Atehison are so intensely op-
posed TO st. John, that they would not vote for
a man who had received an appointment from
him. Mr.. Pierce is good lawyer, while his sue
cessful opponent knows nothing about law. The
mau elected i. Charles Stuart, formerly station
and express agent at Troy Junction, who was
superseded, under cloud. 1t is to be hoped,
for the sake of persons having business, in his
Court, that he has improved in his methods, since
leaving here.

An OLD ACQUAISTANCE.-W. ID. Webb, oil
Atchison Ia. discovered an old acquaintance III
Jesse James. In the year 1870, at Waseca, Min
nesota he was employed to defend two or three
men who were arrested on the charge of bursls-
ry-of which, by the way, they were guilty, bnt
he secured their acquittal. The leader of the
party, by whom he was employed, gave his name
IS Thomas Howard. On hearing that Jesse
James had been living in ST. Joseph under
the name of Howard, Mr.. Webb at once Thought
of his Minnesota client He examined one of the
photographs of Jesse Jane. that are being scat
tered over the country, and recognized his man.
He says it is exactly the same face, only looking
somewhat older than il did at that time.

WELL PUT.-Therc is a great deal Of sentimental
ity about the manner Of -honting jesse James. Ac-
cording TO the opinion of many it would have been

sion for the taking Of your life viii you he kind
to draw and cock yonr best revolver and present

Mr. James would have then said: .'Iut, nv dear
friend. whom have for months fed, aud cared for.
in order to use you when might have occasion You
would thus take advantage of Il man who has but
six revolvers double barrrlled shotgun and Win

According to this sentimental authority there is

the saying that the Lord orders all things for the

The storm, last week, was especially severe and
destructive in Stofford County. A Couuty-seat
election was IN progress; but the storm blew
down the house in which it was being held, de-
moIished the ballot-boS, and scattered the tick
