To the Editor of the Press:
noticed paragraph in the Argus of the
18th inst headed Not a Fresh Recruit, ~
charging the undersigned with voting the
whole republican ticket, including Davis for
Governor, two years ago. / do not notice
this because it is a serious charge, or in any
way 'disrespectful if it were so. 1t is not
true, however. never in my life have voted
for republican candidate for Governor, but
shall vote for Col. Robbie at the coming
election if l live and can get to the place OF
voting; and think / know of some others
who have never voted the republican ticket,
who will do the same thing. If the Argus
correspondent wishes to know how voted tvs o
years ago, he can come to me and will in
form him so that he need make no further
mistakes. WM. GUPTILL.

SALTWATER, Mimi, April 4.-The news
of the murder of Jesse James was
of peculiar interest to the Younger boys,
especially Cole. An interview was secured
with the willy and reticent Cole, whose famil-
iarity with the dead robber chief may never be
known. After few brief remarks break
ing the general tenor of the news.
a copy of the PIONEER PRESS was handea
Cole who read the article through carefully
and with evident interest His first remark
was that there would be no trouble in identi-
flying the body If it was Jes, for (pointing to
his right breastl he has bullet wound here
that would tell he was shot twice in the same
place, and was attended by DR.. Wood, of
Kansas city. for long time For six or eight
months he was lying ut Kansas City lowering
between life and death, and continued under
the doctors care for four or five years, until
he went to California in 1868. He
lost the nsa of that lung and
consequently has but one now, which
would be revealed by a post norton. The
story ia very plausible one, and no doubt
true That would be a bout the onlv opportunity
any one conld get to kill him. Cole said he
had no sympathy with any of those persons,
aud II they fell ont among themselves and
killed each other,
HE HAD NO OBJECTIONS
They we're nothing to him. He did not
know the Ford brothers, but did not know but
what they might be SONS Of man of that
name who was associated with him during the
war. He spoke of the recent train robbery,
where Dick Little turned States evidence, and
said that he saw nothing that answered to the
description or actions of the James boys, and
thought it more than likely that some of the
Kansas City sharps had pnt up the job, got
Little and the others into it by giving them
the idea that the James boys were at the head
of it. Another fact which leads him to think
they are new gang is that if they were old
friends OF his they wonld never have gone into
the neighborhood of his friends, knowing that
his uncle and amt were endeavoring to do
something for him here, and committed the rob
berry and murdered the conductor in cold
blood, because that would counteract every
thing that had been done for them. In regard
to considerable of that purporting to be a his
tory of their doings, annexed to the account
he said that it was all humbug.

THE CHINESE BILL.
Vetoed by President Arthur u cd, ,fcation of
thu Bill Suggested.

tha Bill Suggested.
On Wednesday last President Arthur re-
turned to the senate of the United States the
chinese bill with his objections to its pssssge.
He held that it copflicted with treaty obligations
and violated tho faith of the nation and he
hoped congress would endeavor to find another
that would meet the expectations of the people
OF the United States, and not conflict with the
rights of Chira. He maintained that neither
the representatives OF the United States or China,
in making the treaty Of 1880, contemplated
any suoh prohibition of immigration as that pro-
posed in the bill He opposed the passport
system proposed in the bill as undemocratic,
and said he thought it unwise to introduce such
system in this country, as the passport system
is falling into disuse in Europe, ana besides
that experience has shown that passports are
easily borrowed or even forged.
The president said that Chinese labor had
been Of great value in this country and that
monuments to their industry existed. They
had largely built the Pacific railroads across
this continent. but it might wisely be consid-
cred now whether some limitation may be put
upon the immigration Of this labor, and il there
be too much Of 1t in one section Of the country
the same labor may be needed in another seo-
ton. The same law should consider this and
make law to permit this labor 10 60 where
needed.
Il IL considered probable that another bill
will go through congress obviating the above
