week, over the election in Ohio, Incanse
we preferred to have definite returns be-
fore comment, and becanse expecting a
favorable result, we were not overjoyons
about the result. It appears that the
Democratic majority is 20 to 25,000, and
that 14 Democratic candidates for Con-:
gress have been elected, and only 7 Re
publicans,
ocracy the
Representatives. In West Virginia, we j limits of my

'fiiis is well enough. The question of
PROTECTION—that i3 the levying of
blackmail upon the millions, to sustain
the business of a tew thousands of manu-
lacttirers, to the point of rapid enrich-
ment of these few thousands; by making
the millions labor for them like serfs, is
the point at issue that cannot be longer
put off. There are districts, in which
these manufacturers will turn the scale
by forcing their workmen to vote iu their
interest—these Ive must expect to lose.
Then, there are idiots who talk about the
prosperity of the country resulting from
taxing the many to enrich the tew, as
though this thiug could possibly be right,
under any now possibly supposable cir-
cumstances. Couutiug compulsory votes,
interested votes, and the votes of the
tools who have never yet comprehended
the first principle of free Government, it
must be expected that the protectionists
combining with their natural allies the
Republicans, who have been the uudevi-
itiug supporters of all the wrongs in-
dicted upon the people in the interests of
the capitalists will carry some districts
in the North. We must expect to lose,
here and there a member heretofore elect-
ed as a Democrat. But then, when the
farmers heretofore Republicans, com
mence to give full consideration to the
wrongs practiced upou them, we shall ex-
pect to gain largely mote than we lose.
Our readers will have noticed, that even in
Massachusetts the resolutions ot the Dem
ocraey ring out clearly against protection
as a principle, and merely tolerate it as
an incident, as it always must remain, so
long as we levy any import duties. These
points must become clear to all the peo-
ple as candidates for Congress do their
duty, and illustrate the results by figures,
and as the press does its full duty. Doubt
less protection will find advocates iu Lou-
manifested by the military, rose to their feet
and cheered the President heartily. Then
resuming their seats, the assemblage was
called to order by Governor Long, who
made one of his most elequent speeches, tak-
ing as subject the character and attainments
of the great statesman the memory of wbom
they were then recalling, and concluded by
a felicitions and appropriate reference to the
President, whom he introduced.
President Authur was again heartily greeted
as lie arose. He read from manuscript the
following,
Mk. President and Gentlemen : It will
formal acknowledgments for
these flattering salutations. I cannot find
words to tell you how deeply 1 am touched
by the warmth of your greeting. It is but a
fresh display of that splendid hospitality
which, ever since 1 came within the borders
of Massachusetts, has obstructed my path
with demonstrations of courtesy and respect.
1 trust, sir that neither my gratitude nor my
sympathy with the purposes which have turn-
ed our reverend footsteps hitherward today
will be measured by mr endeavor togive them
verbal expression. The character and gen-
ius of that illustrious man whose life moved
grandly on in so many paths of eminence, iu
commemoration of whose birth a hundred
years ago we have gathered to-day amid the
peaceful scenes where he found rest from the
fret and worry of life, have for more than a gen-
eration been the theme of discussion and eu-
logy. I snail not attempt to labor in the field
over which so many flashing sickles have
swept and which has so long been crowded
with industrious gleaners, but 1 may perhaps
be permitted to declare my approval of what
has been accomplished by the society in fur-
therance of the object for which it was found-
ed."

The letter of Frank James to Gov.
Crittenden, which we re-publish from the
St. Louis Republican, has a manly tone,
and indicates that the writer is made of
too good material to pursue the unsatis-
factory lite ot an outlaw. We think that
he must be a much better man than Jesse
James. It should be recollected that all
these men, the James and the Youngers
felt that they could not live peacefully
at home, that they had been terribiy out-
raged; and that the liteof outlaws had been
forced upon them. In this last presump
tion lay their error. If they could not
bare satcly lived in Missouri they might
have readily migrated to Texas and lost
nothing by the change. They have paid
heavily for the wrong they did. but not
too much. Still we hope this last of the
band relieving the travelling publico! fur-
ther apprehensions, and showing that
for years he had been trying to live an
inoffensive life, will receive pardon, and
be hereafter allowed to live in peace.

riling of the people of the United States
paying forty dollars in duties to give one

sugar is a legitimate subject, for revenue,
and therefore will still be taxed. Doubt-
less so will Rice, and so two native pro-

The editor ot this paper has received
several propositions to represent associa-
tions of this kind, in this and other
States, coupled with suggestions ot prof-
it. As these associations will all fail in
a short time, if two and two make four as
has been heretofore conceded, and while
they may benefit a Incky tew of the first
members will assuredly leave the larger
number oat of pocket for all the assess-
ments they have responded to, the edi-
tor declines to have any part in an at-
tractive deception, even though coupled
with temporary profit. The whole scheme
is like the plan of the woman's bank in
Bostou, which as a matter of asserted be-
nevoleuee, paid six per cent, interest per
month, to sewing women, and other la-
boring women; depending on new depos-
its coming in and continuing the capacity
to pay the enormous interest; but col-
lapsed at last when the craze subsided
and people began to think and calculate;
aud left the depositors minns all the
principal of their deposits—the lady
president going to the peniteutiary. The
victims however, had no remedy, as the
credulous victims of the marriage asso-
ciations will have none. When men be-
come greedy for fabulous profits npon
spurious pretences, it would be best to
bave a little care, and calculate the prob-
abilities; especially when all the materi-
al facts and all the probabilities are ap-
parent, aud so glaring that the most in-
experienced can solve by the rules ot
arithmetic.

into journalism ; and now with the adop-

of the Dispatch office, giving a different
version, it is difficult to get at the exact
facts, beyond the main point that Cock-
rell, the managing editor of the Dispatch
killed Slayback, by Bhootinghim through
the body, the ball entering under the
left armpit. Slayback's friend says he
was unarmed, but Coekrell's friends say
otherwise, aud produce a pistol which
they say was taken from bim, and a deal
er in arms has identified the pistol as one
he sold to Slayback about lour months
since, and ou which be says his private
mark is still to be seen. It is at best au
unfortunate affair, and demonstrates
tion to listen to plain truths, and its de
termination to continue, in so far as its I anew tl,at blustering personages who ex
recommendations would have weight, the I P«* to charge and whip out editorial
dishonest burthens now imposed upon
the people—all these tendencies have
been so glaring, that good has been ac-
complished, through the very means they
have taken to prevent it. The great day
is coming, when like the revolution of
ISC J, Jeffersouian Dsmocracy shall rise
clearly in the ascendant, and shod its be-
nignant rays upon all the people—when
the laborers in the fields, shall in the eye
ot the Government, bo equal to the oc-
cupants of the 5th Avenue or Beacon
street palaces, and receive equally all the
blessings that good Government confers,
in being let alone, to pursuo their labor
and reap its legitimate profits without
diminution by taxation, to benefit any
classes having already an advantage by
the possession ot capital: that great day,
.vhen the laborer may feel assured that
he is not by the action of his own chosen
representatives, made poorer by legisla-
tion, in order that some already rich man
may be made richer. All hail that dav!
i rooms, may find obstructions in their
path. It demonstrates another poiut as
well, that personalities should not enter
iuto political contests, and that neither
editors or other individuals should in-
dulge iu them when possibly avoidable,
unless an absolute sense of duty to the
JJaniel Webster.

St. Louis, October 1st.
To Hon. T. T. Crittenden, Governor:
Your Excellency: Time has demonstrated
that however carefully f may follow the path
of good citizenship, aud however successful I
may be in gaining the confidence aud respect
of those who associate with me daily and
hourly, in every act, the heapiug of infamy
on the name which my children are to bear,
goes steadily ou and on, as it began so mauy
years ago. The greater the ciiitfe which
startles the people of our Western States the
greater the certainty that it will be attribut-
ed to my act or instigation. However strange
it may seem that a man of the reputation 1
bear should assume to possess either pride or
sensibility, I have hardihood to lay claim to
some degree of both. For years the one de-
sire of my life has been to regain tlie citi-
zenship which I lost in the dark days when
in Western Missouri every man's hand was
against his neighbor's, and to have an oppor-
tunity of pioviug, by submission to the most
vigorous test, that *1 am not unworthy of
such citizenship. It would avail me nothing
at this day to advert to the circumstances at-
tending my outlawry which I anil thousands
of others regard as extenuating. Those who
were where they could observe the events in
the little page of history need no recapitula-
tion of them from me, and those who had
no personal knowledge in the premises have
been so Btirred against me by reports of my
evil doings that they would naturally give no
consideration to the facts of that character.
The people at large, reason logically, that
where there is so much smoke there must be
fire; that although some ot the charges made
against me may be unjust all are not without
foundation, and that an evasion ot the law
is not the course ot an innocent man. May I
bow to their logic and reply, that he Twlio is
now making thiB appeal does not do so from
the standpoint of a martyr. He comes to you
a« t eir representative, to say that though hi9
suffering has been a hundred fold greater
tlian they have any knowldge of, immeasura-
bly greater than the course which he evaded
would have attached to his acts, he recognizes
that he has no right to complain of his lot.
He comes as a man who. conscious of au hou-
est purpose, aoks to be permitted to do what
our lowest law abiding citizen may do to re-
move from Missouri the odium for which, in
part, he is responsible. He comes as a man
who, outlaw though he has been, has inno-
cent ones who call him father aud husband,
and who possesses love as strong and devoted
as was ever found iu men whose lives are
blameless before the world, and one who is
anxious to remove from their closet the skel-
eton which has so long been its hideous occu
pant. If it were not for the fear of responsi-
bility. for that which I do, rather than for
that which I did, Governor Crittenden, you
should never had to pnt a price upon niy head,
but an excited and justly indignant republic
is not discriminative, aud when a mau is
stripped of the presumptive innocence with
which the law theoretically surrounds him,
as I would be, he is put to the dangerous ne-
cessity ot proving a negative. That fear is
still with me, and as I write it prompts me to
abandon my present purposes, and having tor
nearly twenty years proved niy ability to
evade an attempt to capture me, to take my
little family and go to some remote section
where I can live a quiet life, free from appre-
hension, that I refuse to obey such au impulse
that I prefer to go back to my boyhood home
and face mv disgrace in order to live it down
that I am willing to place myself under a sur-
villauce to which no ma-i in Missouri has ever
yet beeu subjected, as mnst natnrallv be tlie
case shonld I return, that I choose this rough
course when smoother ones offer. I humbly
submit as proof that I am not so bad as I have
been painted and that the elements of man-
hood have not been omitted from my
nature. Sight terribly, Governor Crit-
tenden,^ have the offences against soci
ety, which have beeu charged against the
James family, been revenged, God knows
enough blood has been spilled, enough hearts
broken, enongh lives blighted. God knows
if it is the pnrpose of the law to prevent crime
by making its punishment itwfnl to contem-
plate, that pnrpose has been served in a large
degree in the ten years of terror and t agedy.
Is its demand tor vengence insatiable ? Is
justice tempered with mercy a mere poetical
Nothing ? Mnst your state of Missouri in-
dulge in it with a spirit of revenge until it
has secured its last onnce of flesh. Laying
all considerations of mercy aside. Cannot
yonr State (I would to God I could say "my
State,") better afford now that it has vindica-
ted its laws, as no State ever did before, say
to its supplicants, "Yes come in, we will con
vert your very notoriety into a powerful in-
strument of good order. We will purely, as
an unsentimental investment, restore yon to
citizenship, and give yon an opportunity to
prove yonr contrition and further the pnrpose
We will call you to utilize your experience
and knwwlege of wrongdoing, in the enforce-
ment of laws which yon have in the past been
charged with violating. When Ton have won
theconfidence of all who now condemn, we will
point to it all as proof of our wisdom." If 1
were certain I would not. be made a scapegoat
I would never liave troubled yon with this
petition, but would have long ago faced yonr
conrts and met yonr charges, but being once
in the toils, I would have had to accept all
the chance and where none would have been
interested in my innocence, of whatever
might lie alleged, many might find it to their
advantage to assist in convicting me. Put
yourself in my place for one moment, and
then judge of my course in keepir ir out. of the
law's clutches. There is no consideration
other than already mentioned, which has
weighed heavier in favor of my present step.
For five months T have been in constant dread
that some rash friend of mine or Jesse's or
some silly person seeking notoriety might car-
ry out the threats of assassination which have
been, according to published reports, poured
in npon you. Suppose for one moment that,
had occurred. Is there a man in the world
who would not have been held responsible for
it T And yet, not only were the threats not a
crime, as you will discover by comparing
them with my writing, but the thought of re-
venge was never tor one moment entertained
by me. I have now stated mv case and have.
I trust, avoided any savor of mockislinesF. I
ask if you cannot consistently with your duty
give me some hope for amnesty under the
conditions I have specified. It may strike you
that modesty is not the. most prominent char-
acteristic of this request, but it shonld be re-
membered that it comes from a man who is
still at large and the uncertainly of whose
whereabouts is unknown, although it need
not be the cause of a great deal of apprehen-
sion. I don't appeal as a man who. having
followed the wrong course until his head
addressed in care of my wife, at Iodepeud- |
ence. Mo., will reach me, and I will not sav j

Early yesterday morning, at the city
hospital, on Clay street, near the river, a
young man, an inmate of the hospital, ,.
was touud hanging by the neck in an out i
house dead. Justice Davis was at once j
notified, aud summoning a jury of inquest j
repaired to the city hospital and viewed
the body, and tbe examination of witness-! ___ TTir-\-r> t a
es and completion of the inquest was had JLiCJwXV _T Uxv
■ t the Justice's court. The ghastly corpse j
ot the dead man hanging in the out-house j
with the door open and visible to the;
street, swung in the morning light, a
shocking spectacle trom early morning un-
til nearly noon, when authority was given
to bury the body, which was done «t the
expense ot the county. Three witnesses
were examined at the iiquest, first ot
which was Mr. L. Griffln, keeper of the
hospital, whose testimony was mainly as
follows:
I am in charge of the Waco City Hos-
pital. Two weeks ago to-day, the 26th
day of September, 1882, Dr. Halbert;
brought deceased to the hospital for at- i
tention and treatment; deceased was in j

down most of the time. This morning,!

an out-house, about 40 yards trom the j
house, as though standing up,and I went J
back to the house. After breakfast I!
went out again and he was still standing J
there, and 1 concluded he must be asleep,
or that there was something the matter ;
with him and I went to see. I found him !
hanging, his toes touching the floor, with !
a small roue looped over a piece ot sheet- ;
ing in the root ot the building and another j
loop about his neak. lie had on no coat,:
vest nor hat. He was dead. A box which j
had been removed from the -side of the ;
house was a foot or so from his feet. He.
had left on a table iu his room a note ad- j
