MYDEAR sIR-Yours o the 18th inst has this
day been received, and to your inquiry 1 reply
that, though IL is not in my power 10 recite the
the language employed in response to you and
into Kentucky 10 prevent the Federal Govern ment
from Intimidating the Legislature and people OF
that state by military occupation, and thus 10
secession, j do well remember that 10 you,
as 10 others answered substantially that would
not do such violence TO the rights OF a State. No
one could have felt deeper interest or
a more afectionate regard for Kentucky than
! did. and it may well be that ] did
rot tbelieve the people of KenIucky especially
distinguished in tne early period OF her history
for the assertion of State rights land state rem
edies could be driven from the maintenance of q
creed which had ever been her point OF pride.
Ny answer as correctly stated by you, shows that
my decision not based OH expediency and
however reluctant may have been to respect the
advice OF yourself and other friends in whose
judgment aud sincerity had implicit confidence,
4 would not for all the considerations involved
disregard the limitat OF our Constitution and
violate the cardinal principle which had been the
guiding star OF my political life. With grateful
reinep orance OF your kin dness in years gone by,
ana admiration for your manly fidelity in times

BASE BALL.
All Difficulties Adjusted Between the Two
Associations.

PITTsBURG Jan. 27.-The meeting OF the
joint conference of the National League and
American Base Ball Association held here
to-day for the purpose of adjusting the diff
hculties of the two associations in regard to
the admission of the Lucas Club 70 the
National League, resulted in an smicable
adjustment OF the troubles. When the
meeting was called 10 order Congressman
ONell, OF St. Louis, presented the following
from Mr.. Vonderahe:
To the President and Directors OF the American
Association:
The difficulties between q. V. Lucas and myself
draw my objections to the admission OF the
League club into the city of st Louis.
Very respectfully, CHRIST VoSDERAHE.
The communication, which occasiened no
surprise, was accepted and Lucas admitted.
Mr.. Vonderahe then presented resolutions
which were adopted, providing for the ap-
pointment OF committee to notify the
League Committee that the American Asso-
citation had consented to the admission of
the League club into ST. Louis, and also that
the American Association favored an amend
ment TO Section 20 eff the national agree
ment as proposed by the League.
A resolution was also adopted, which was

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
postponed urAil Friday the consideration OF
the resolution calling upon the Secretary of
State for information as to whether any cit
izen OF the United States was concerned in
bringing about the London explosions.
While no vote was taken that would show
the feeling of the memb toward the res
olutioD, there was all expression opin-
ion that there was no occasion for an in
yestigation. The members say the resolu
ton, as referred will not be reported back
to the House. One Of different chara ,ter,
however, may be reported.
The Director of the Mint is engaged in the
PREPARATION of his repor. on the production of
gold ano silver IN the United States daring

made from the mints and assay Off ces Il so
pears, he say g. that contrary 10 his own ex-
pectstion and the general opinion, q greater
amount OF gold was obtained from the mines
OF the United States in 1854 than during he
previous year. The reports from the mints
and assay offices of deposits OF gold aud
silver which he caused to be verified by
accounts, show that during the calendar
year o. sS4 they received gold OF domestic
production, $50 s07, l69 nearly S. 600 more
than the previous year, while deposits of
foreign gold bullion were S1l,2l7. 800; for

Dr. Burcbard says there can be no aues-
ton but that nearly s3l 600, 900 of gold, as
shown by the reports were obtained from
the mines of the United States during the
last calendar year, because the description
and character OF the gold is apparent to the

A STRANGE STORY.
Former Citizen of Kansas City Said to
Have Been kidnapped.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Jan. pa Jefferson
City dispatch from the Times correspondent
states that Governor Crittenden has, within
few days, received letter from the British
Minister at Washington informing him of
Alfred Sheldon's arrival in England, alive
OF this city and member of the Blue
Springs Milling Company, disappeared mys-
teriously on the night of May last
He was said to be short $40 600
In his accounts, aud one theory was that he
had been kidnaped and was held until
wealthy friends in England should make up
the deficit. Another theory was that this
was ruse on Sbeldon's part to get away.
At the request of the British Govern ment
through the State Department at Washing
ton, Governor Crittenden took action in
secret to ind measures for the investigation
of the case, and the rescue of Sheldon If
kidnapped rs alleged. The correspondent
gives the following account of the affair,
which he asserts is from reliable source;
On Nay 4, about midnight, two men came
to Seldons house in buggy, arrested him
en- pretend ded warrant and took him away.
They were joined by two other men and ths
prisoner was carried to place near Blue
Springs and detained at q camp in the woods
fof several weeks, bis csptors meanwhile
comps ling him to write to his friends for
money. The men demanded SIS, 900. A t
length, one night. member of the gang
promised secretly to reless him. The man
then took him to o railroad station
near, gave him $40 and left him. 6he don

tive dces Rot state where he went from

lar. A lobby came here and the bill was in
troduced. Another lobby came and the Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
he'd hearings. A favorable report followed.
Still another lobby came to secure the pas
sage of the bill, but it didn't pass. 1t lies
dormant.
A feeling exists that these doll ars were
taken from the people by "cor-
ner." and there is desire to
squeeze those who made it. Thsre is no one
but believes that the money, since it has
served the purpose for which it was issued
and can not be foated except under q dis
count, should be redeemed and recoined.
Had it not been that there was dispute
over the recoining of the trade dollar, the
bill calling it in would have passed
some time ago in the face
of the isct they were col ected
by unfair means. A portion OF the House
wants the redemption of the trade dollar,
and its recolnage TO come out of
the regular coinage of 100000 a
month Since there are 80 00O, 900 to 40, ,OO0,-
0C0 OF them, they would reduce the demand
for bullion for awhile, and there would be
a diminution of the profits of silver mines.

Uneasipess Still Felt.

LONDON Jan. 27.-In some respects the
panic produced by Saturdays events really
increased the fears entertained yesterday that
the dynamiters meditsted an attack upon
the national arsenals and naval stations
and they were placed under special watch.
At Chatham Dock Yard the police kept
shoat during the entire night To
day Instructions were issued for them
TO put q stop 10 al ingress to
the tower, the House of Commons and
Westminster Hall. Even toe mem 5ers and
peers were refused admission. Toe en-
trsnce 10 the palace yard has
been closed. All the public
doors OF the Parliament building
were locked and a baIricade has been thrown
across the hall at the top of the stair case.
The injured are all reported improving.
Colonel Majendic is proceeding wsth the ex
animation of the bsnqUe,ting hall Of the
Council Chamoe in the White Tower.
CUHEINGHAM's ARREST AN IMPORTANT ONE.
The police are convinced that the arrest of
Cunningham was an important capture.
They are certain he took an &C
plcsion at the Tower. It is now
sscertained that very few OF the rifles in the
tower are rendered useless, the damage
being largely confined to the wooden stocks.

A POSTMASTER
OF Bowling Green, Kentucky, Has a
scheme to Control the ONCE for
the Next Four Years.

Special 10 the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ~ General Hobson,
the Postmaster at Bowling Green, KY. is
here on a peculiar species of political busi-
ness. Hobson was a noted Union soldier
during the late War, and fought we'll to the
close OF the difficulty. Then ne entered the
arena of politics. and figured con-
spicueusly there. His term as Postmaster
at Bowling Green expires some time during
the approaching summer, and he wants
to arrange to control the office, and
TO that end he has devised a scheme
1t is to resign and have a widow
woman appointed. She, he thinks, would
be allowed to remain all through the term.
and possibly might be reappointed undeg
Cleveland at the end of four yesrs.
1t was with good deal OF confidence that
General Hobson requested Postmaster
General to appoint the lady in the
event he HobsoDl resigned. The General
could not see anything in the
way of such an arrangement, bat he
was informed that, in the FIRST place, there
was opposition to the general prop
osltion of appointing women to
postmssterships and, in the sec.
ond place the President had declared ne
would OF be party to any kind of trick
to beat the incoming ADMINISTRATION out OF
Its official dues.

ReoietrictiDg. z.

Your Washington correspondent to-day
seems to deprecate aud so do the good DEM
ocrats of the State the possibility OF Dem
ocratic gerrvmander of the State for Con-
gressional purposes. No apportionment sa-
voring of q gerrynander should be adopted.
The constitutional requirement that the
State shall be redistricted every six years
does not mean a gerrymander every so many
years, but merely 'leveliDg up according
to the last enumeration of the voters of the
State which was taken in 1889, and gives
ratio of about 3s, 800 for each of the thirteen
Congressional Districts iato which the State
is divided. Under the present districting,
wide discrepancies exist. The Fourth Dis.
trict, for example, has but few more than
SO, 900 voters, while the Eleventh District
has more than i6 900 voters, or difference
OF $4,000! Now, this ought not to exist, but
each district should be, as nearly as possible,
made to contain the ratio, approximately at
least. Let Us then-keeping the ratio. So 500,
in view-divide the State into thirteen dig
tricts, IS follows, TO wit:
First District-No change.
Second District-RemoveS Sullivan County

no change.

Ninth District-No change.
Tenth District-No change.
Eleventh District-Remove Grant County
