Turner Turns Up.

SEDALIA, Mo-, April S.-A startling dis
covery was made by the warning patriots
about noon. j. Milton Turner, the self
constituted receptacle of all sop thrown
to the colored race by the Republican par
ty, recently issued a call for meeting Of
the Executive Committee of the
Colored Mems party of Missouri,
which committee was appointed long
time ago by himself, Prof. Murray and
j. w. Wilson in convention assembled.
This meeting is to be held tomorrow in
the building next to the convention hall,
and it is the purpose of its projectors to
make fierce demand that the rights of the
colored men be recognized by the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Turneras delegate at large to
the Chicago Convention. The local colored
men, as well as the visiting colored dele
gates, are not enthused with the pro.
ject, and consequently they will hold a
meeting this afternoon to declare that
Mr.. Turner's welfare is not the chief
solicitude of the colored race, and, as
DR., Walden (colored) puts it, "There
Is enough fuss and muss in the party al
ready without Mr. Turner organizing a
black wing to flap around and make
trouble"
As Turner Is the inveterate enemy of
Mr.. Filey, this action of the colored dele.
gates seems to indicate that the boss has
renewed his grip upon them. Turner is
here and is actively drumming up men,
bers for his convention and fitting them
out with credentials.

FACTIONS FROM FIGHTING.
ANOTHER TOM SCOTT.
Failure Of His Little Scheme to Secure
His Release

1850
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 8.-The Chicago
thief, Thomas Scott, alias "Scotty,"
who created sensation in Jackson,
Mich, the other day by Imparting some
pretended information of the Crouch
mystery to the police Of Jackson,
is well known to the detectives Of this city.
Scott is in the Jackson Jail awaiting
trial for stealing an overcoat
from hotel there. His attorney, Fraser,
is also attorney for Judd Crouch and Dan
Holcomb, who are now on trial for the
murders committed in the Crouch home
stead last November. After Captain
Crouch had given his testimony about his
transactions with his father relative TO
the disappearance of some valuable
papers which the murderers probably
carried away, Scott sent for Mr.. Fraser and
told him that Captain Crouch had made
a mistake in his testimony. The gentle
man stated that certain agreement con-
tanned the figures $4,000. Scott said
they ought to be sl9, 700, and to show
that he knew what he was talking about
he cited at length some of the articles of
the agreement, and also portions of the
other missing papers. He claimed to
have seen them all, and even knew where
they were hidden, and the officers be.
Geyed him, as they did not under.
stand how he could know their
contents so well unless he
had read them very carefully,
Scott was exceedingly wise about the mat
ter, and would not tell the Jackson Off
Gals anything, but told them to send for
Detective Simmons, of this city, and he
would impart story which would entire
ly clear up the mystery. Detective Muir.
ray, Of Jackson, came here and asked
Lieutenant Ripley for permission to take
Detective Simmons 70 Jackson with him.
The permission was accorded, but when
the detective reached Jackson all he could
get from Scott was rambling story
about his detective skill in ferreting out
the case. Then Lieutenant Ripley went
to interview the thief, and he was
authorized to offer Scott $4,000
and immediate release from Jail If he
would tell anything which would be valu.
able in evidence in the trial. The offer
failed, and the officer has come to the
conclusion that SCOTS only desire is to
escape from jail. Scott was released
from the Bridewell here last fall, after
serving a term of six months for va
grancy. He is a notorious hotel thief,
