PROM PIERCE CITY.

Geo. Christie, the expressman left
Pierce City about noon on Thursday the
18th and arrived here on Saturday fore
noon; by him We received letter from
which we make the following extracts:
Arrived here at about 1880, a. m. this
morning. Our company consists Of sixty
men, well armed. We Immediately sur
rounded tho town and small posse en-
tered the town to learn the situation
We learned that the citizens had arrested
and lodged in Jail eight cinnamon, meet
ing with no resistance. This was done
the evening before and they we're secure
" guarded during the night. They had
secured confession from one OF their
number and be had informed on four as
engaged in the murder. Tho needle
guns are all safe in the hands Of citizens
here. One suspected party has just
been brought up from down the creek,
making nine now in jail. An cxamina-
ton will commence this afternoon. There
is no danger now OF any resistance being
offered as We are much too strong for
them, and they seem much intimidatcd
Everything is moving forward as favor
able as We could expect, and it is though,
that some Of the murdersrs, if not all arc
now in Jail"
The parties who went to Pierce Cit,
to assist the people there, returned OF
Sunday last. They report that the cx
tamination continued the afternoon o.
Thursday and the forenoon Of Friday
and the decision was given that four o.
the nine arrested should b. discharged
and Ave of them be held for trial at Muir
ny aud they were remandcd to jail AMI
the others discharged Our informan

A Sensible Move.

A new organization, called the Ma
tional League for the Suppre ssion of the
Liquor Traffic" is the outgrowth of the
prohibition fiasco in national politics. It
aims to intensity and educate public senti-
ment, train the young to understand the
evils of intcmperance, and to use regular
and legitimate, but non-political, means
to promote temperance. This is sensible
and right. The feeling of disgust caused
by the St. John movement reacted against
the temperance cause. More or less, it
will injure it for long time to come
But If. out of this misfortune, more
sensible movement springs the evil will
not be SO great as was feared. Temper
ance has always been unfortunate in poll
tics. There have ever been those ready
to betray it, or to use it for selfish ends.
In saying this we do not pass judgment
on the St. John charges. Irrespective of
whether he tried to sell out or not, it is
true that temperance has not usually pros.
pered when it became involved in politics.

souri,, often, you enter clearing in the
woods, where a ricketty, il-lookine
building looms in view. This is whisky
still. Roasting on the fence around it, o,
sprawled upon the ground, may be seen 8
half.dozen native "yahoos," discussing,
with the little energy nature has given
them, the problem as to 'why the burned
nigger won't work" These are the con
stituents of the man who says we are not
fit to be admitted to that union which
many of our citizens helped to defenG
against the onslaught of Vest and Other
traitors.
Missouri's record is one of lawlessncss
bloodshed, train-robbing, whisky rings
and all the general and miscellaneous
crimes in the calendar. The writer, then
boy, went from Illinois to Missouri
during the Kansas war, when the Border
Rufians" from Missouri were tlocking
into the territory, determined to foist
slavery upon her citizens at all hazards.
Those were the days when Jim Lane
and his free-state boys taught the slave
holders that one southerner couldn't click
six Yankees. During that war all anti,
slavery man named Phillips, a resident of
Kansas, was, at Weston, in Missouri, all
most under the guns of Fort Leavcnworth
Commanded by creature of Buchanan),
put up at auction; "nigger" was made
to act as auctioneer; "nigger" was
made to purchase him for 'stwo-bits;'
then he was tarred and feathered and
started down the river on raft. Men
were murdered everywhere by bands of
Border Ruffians in Kansas. And all these
crimes were committed to force the curse
of slavery upon the unwilling people of a
territory.
: During the war of the rebellion Mis-
souri, produced some of the most demon
like villains that ever disgraced the pages
of history. Bill Anderson, who went
to and fro through the state, slaughtering
union people, was Missourian, and his
followers were Missourians. Quantrell
and his band, the murderers of unarmed
citizens at Lawrence, were Missourians.
Nor have these people, outside of
few cities where ''free-state' ideas
have been partially introduced, made
much progress in the better qualities of
citizenship "sence de wah." THIS fact
has been amply demonstrated by the aid
and sympathy given thieves and murder.
ers like the James and Younger bands--a
sympathy which has been manifested by
Aissourians from governor down to the
ordinary "yahoo.'
Mr.. Vest is q proper representative Of
the old slaveholding Inhabitants half
.hoss. half alligator, half mud turtle
and the ''po' white trash natives who
have ever been their blind followers. As
'free-state'' principles prevailed In Kansas
only at the muzzles of Jim Lanes guns,
so to-day Vest and his constituents would,
if they dared, crush out ''free. state" Ire.
