The Murdered Ckleago Detective,
The murder of the Chicago detective
by the Gad's Hill outlaws does not re-
flect much credit on the authorities of
Clay County, Missouri, though the
Sheriff, Geo. E. Patton. publishes a
riolent and abusive letter in the Kan-
sas City yeic», in reply to statements
in the Chicago and St. Louis papers
on the subject. The Sheriff says it
behooves him, in view of certain state-
ments in the St. Louis Globe and Re-
publican, " to say something in answer
to the unfounded statements, base lies
and murderous slanders sown broad-
cast by the two above named papers."
Mr. Patton proceeds with a mil due*
that would have been characteristic of
"our later Franklin," Horace Greeley,
when his blood was up under a sense
of wrong, to thus correct any little
errors the St. Louis papers may have
fallen into: "If Mr. Augell, or any
other man, made the statements to the
Ulobe or Republican as published by
theui in the above named issues, he is
a liar of the 'first water/ and I am
personally responsible for what I say."
He proceeds to fortify this remark
by such observations as "an unprin-
cipled liar," "infamous slanders,"
"wilful lie," "maliciously false," etc.
This valiant talk almost equals that of
Sir John Falstaff, after the original
Gad's Hill robbery, made famous by
Shakspearc. Honest Jack was put
down by a plain tale; but "An Ofli
cial" sets up the sheriff in
this case by a statement that
is not consistent with the idea
that the local authorities of Clay Coun-
ty were very active in the effort to ar-
rest the robbers. This " Official"
writes to the editor of the Kansas C'ity
Timet what he calls " a full, true and
correct statement of the facts, for the
ltoBor of old Clay, and the honor, fi-
delity and the honor of county offi-
cials." He begins by speaking of the
actions of Detective J. W. Whicher,
while in Liberty, and says:
Whicher arrived in Liberty on the
morning train on Tuesday, the tenth of
March, 1874, and inquired for the sheriff.
The hotel clerk told hira he would find
the sheriff about the courthouiw. He
came to the courthouse, to tlie olfice of
the recorder, and inquired for the sheriff,
and immediately made himself known
to the sheriff and recorder, who he was,
his business, etc. He then read some
written descriptions of five different
men, and asked if either of the descrip-
tions answered to the description of the
" James brothers." He was told by the
sheriff that the descriptions were imper
feet, according to his recollections ; that
he had not seen the older one of the bovs,
Frank, since the first year of the war,
and the younger one, Jessie, since ho had
been outlawed.
He, Wicher, then asked the Sheriff for
directions to the house of the James
brothers, which was given in such a man
ner that the detective was perfectly sat
isfied that he would have no difficulty in
finding the way to the place. He then
Inquired as to the siz- of the farm and
whether they wpre in the habit of hiring
farm hands, at the same time showing
his hands, and expressing fears that the
softness and whiteneiM of his hands
would detect him, and reveal his true
character. He was told by the Sheriff
that the farm was of the first class and
of good, size, and at the same time
warned of the parties and people with
whom he had to deal. He was told that
he would never find them off their
guard, and that It was almost
impossible to fool them as to
his mission or true character, all of
which he seemed to fully realize. He also
asked the sheriff whether he thought
the James brothers were about home, and
was mid that ho (the sheriff) did not
know whether the" were oi no' ; that lie
had not heard of their being at home for
wveral months, and that he (the sheriff)
did not believe they were, as he was gen
erally informed by soim, cf their neigh-
bors whenever they thought they were at
home. He then told the sheriff that he
might call on him for assistance in
short time, which was freely offered
Th« detective then left his valise in the
recorder's office, and took his departure.
He bought a ticket for Kearney, which
is about two and a half miles west of
where the James farm is located, and
took the five o'clock train for that place.
After this nothing was heard of him
until the intelligence oame—in the Kan-
sas City Timet—of his death.
An Affecting Farewell.
Mr. Thomas Price, of the Swan Hotel,
Cirencester, Kngland, has received,
through Lord Derby, a parcel from the
Foreign Office containing a watch and
chain, and appendages, belonging to his
only son, shot at Santiago, through his
connection as a seaman with the Virgini
us. The whole was wrapped in a sheet
•f not® paper, upon which was written,
in a bold hand, the following letter:
" Santiago de Cuba. Nov. 7, 1873. My
Darling Parents: I am now near my last
hoar. I am to be shot this afternoon at
three o'clock. There are about tliirtv of
us. My God, it is a fearful thing to
shoot innocent men ' My dear parents, I
have always been a bad boy ; but I never
thought to bring this great sorrow on
your head*. Give my love to darling
Alice. Tell her I love her dearly, and I
hope God will bless and prosper her. I
■hall try to get my watch and chain sent
home, and if you receive it, my dear
parents, 1 would like dear Alice to have
tha lockets to keep in remembrance of
poor Walter. Kind love to all my rela
tions and friends, and tell them I die like
an Englishman should die. And now,
dearest' parents, I conclude this heart-
breaking letter, hoping we shall meet in
a better land, where there are no sor
rows, troubles, or cares. I remain, your
ever-loving eon, Walter F. Price. May
God hare mercy upon my soul."
GALVESTON, TKXJJL *
Tvxsdat Eyinwo, Marsh SI, 1874 f
There was very little of interest tnas
pi ring in commercial circles to-day. The
distribution of goods to the interior is
still limited in volume, and principally
on orders, The month has not brought
the trade that was expected, and the
hand-to-mouth policy appears to prevail
to a great extent among the merchants
of the interior. There is also reason to
believe that a good deal of business has
sought other points for supplies, and
that this experimental testing cf mar-
kets hag reduced the aggregate of busi-
ness this season, there can be no doubt.
That the bulk of the trade will return to
the city eventually, there appears now
to be little doubt,
POVERTY AND EXTENSIVE COTTON PLANT-
ISO. »r
How far is the increase or decrease of the
acreage under cotton within the control of
the planter, and to what extent will th*t con-
trol be exercised this year? This is a ques-
tion which is being frequently asked at the
preseut time, and it is perhaps not one en-
tirely free from difficulty, though as we
think the answer b; come - quite evident when
we bring together all the facts bearing upon
the subject, which we may attempt to do an-
other week.
A point, however, in the name connection
hss been frequently brought prominently be-
fore us of lare, upon which a word or two now
may possibly be of benefit. We refer to the
UTipr^fitabl ncss of cotton planting, and the
co jsequent poverty of a large portion of the
planters. Perhaps the fact is brought out as
clearly as p< ssible in the following ex ract
from a letter of a corresponden. at Vicks-
burg written recently.
***** .iIn we ar# losing
heait and hope In our country under the de-
pressing circumstances of our situation. The
people of the South leel that their labor in
every branch of business, especially in plant-
ing, inured only to the benefit of the world
outside of them. It is pa* ent to any obser * er
that our situation is dai y giowing worse:
that no matter if our harvests are bountiful,
prosperity is apparently, unattainable; and
in lieu of it there are grave apprehensions
of much suffering and great destitution this
year. I know that Vicksburg, thr ough the ef-
fect of the panic and the present low price of
cotton, is utterly unable to make the ad-
vances n cesaary to feed the laborers i® this
section, as she has heretofore done to a large
extent.
"Beside the poverty of the country, we
are cursed with a legislation and rule which
is a disgrace to the civilization of the age,
arid a crime worthy only of the darkest and
wickedest period of the world's history, and
that, too, on the eve of a centennial anniver-
sary which is to celebrate the glory of the
country! Better put on mourning and sack-
oloth for our shame." * * *
With regard to the latter point raised in
this letter, bad legislation, we would cure it
If we could. Our influence always has been
th own in favor of placing the government in
the Southern States under the control of the
tax-payers, and we so expressed ourselves aa
long as it could be of any use. We are aware
of the public plunder and oppressive taxa-
tion which has resulted from the opposite
policy, and we trust the day is no9£ar distant
when every State, as in Texas the past winter,
will have thrown off their imported rogues
and wisely rule themselves.
But the other point, unsatisfactory cotton
planting, never will be cured by legislation
or anything else, except the will of each in-
dividual. Of course no one can provide
against unfavorable weather. There are
cases. therefore, where, even with the great-
est prudence, trouble will come; and yet the
truth is apparent that unsatisfactory cotton
planting is the result of extending produc-
tion by burdening oneself down with debt.
If advice were of any use. we should cer-
tainly expre-s the w.sh that lesa money
should be spent this year in planting. Not
that we desire to see a small crop raised: we
simply think it is wisdom to plant no more
than can be planted and cultivated economi-
cally. The money that has bren made
in raising cotton since the war has
been made entirely by tnose who
have kept their business within their
own control ; while that large class who
are to day in povertv, notwithstanding the
wealth they have been pouring upon the
world, in the main ow© their condition to the
enhanced cost their crop has netted them, by
reason of their undertaking more than their
resources warranted. We are persuaded
that cotton can be raised in the South and
sold at present prices, leaving the planter a
handsome profit. This we should not say if
our conclusion was the result of our own
judgment; but there are hosts of instances
(exceptions you will call them) all though
the South that prove the truth of t^is state-
ment. But if the farmer is determined to
■trotch his credit to its utmost limit in erder
that he may produce an additional fifty or
hundred bales of cotton, and finds himself in
the winter with his cotton sold and no provi-
sions, but only a debt, as the net result, to
carry him through the winter, he has no righr
to say that planting is unprofitable. We can
not but believe that the price of cotton, if
the season is fairly favorab'e. is to rule low
the coming year; for production, the world
over, has got in advance of consumption. In
view of thU fa't, if a planter desires to ex-
tend himself, buying all his supplies on credit
at credit price*, and paying all the necessary
interest and commissions, the net result can
not be doubtful.— N. Y. Com. and Fki. GArori-

PORT ITEMS.
We paid a visit this afternoon to the
schooner Robert Ruff, Routcn, master, which
is being fitted up by Mr. C. H. Ruff to take a
load of catt e from this port to Havana, and
found the work, which is being done by Mr.
Crosby, to be in first-class style. The vessel
will drop down to the cattle pens at the Brick
Wharf and commence loading at daylight
Thursday. The Ruff will take out 175 first
class beeves and a supply of 12,000 gallons of
water and 66 bales of hay, which will suffice
for food and drink should the passage prove
an extended one.
The steamboat Charles Fowler, Connor,
master, arrived from Houston this morning,
with 143 bales of cotton, which was put out
on the Central Wharf, and the vessel pro-
ceeded on her return at five o'clock in the af-
ternoon, with a moderate freight.
The steamship Harlan. John Lewis, master,
arrived from Indianola this morning at an
tarly hour, with the Western mail and 27
bales pf cotton. The steamer landed her
freight at the Central Wharf, and at eight
o'clock proceeded on her way to Sabine,
where sho will load cattle for Brasbear.
The steamboat George W. Thomas, Jenkins,
master, arrived from Columbia and way
landings on the Brazos River at ten o'clock

TaK NEW STEAMSHIP STATE OF TEXAS.
This handsome specimen of mai ine architec-
ture, recently built for the New York and
Galveston Steamship Line, a rived from New
York, via Key West, with a general carge and
sixteen passengers, last night, and came to
anchor in the outer roadstead, being unable
to cross the bar. This afternoon the steamer
crossed the bar ai d came up to her berth at
Williams's Wharf at five o'clock. As soon as
the steamer was made fast a reporter of the
News stepped -board and obtained the fol-
lowing information concerning the vessel
from Capt. James Bolger, her commander.
The State of Texas was built express y for
this trade at Chester, Pennsylvania, and
sailed from New York lor Galveston on the
twenty-first of March. The keel of the vessel
was laid less than six mouths since at the
shipvard of John Roach & Son. the buildars
of the largest iron steamships in America.
She is constructed of the finest quality of
Iron, is 215 feet in length over al;. 35 feet
breadth of beam, and a depth of hold of 20
feet. The State of Texas is 1650 tens bur-
then, and is the exact counterpart of the
steamship Uity of Waco, which was added to
the line some five months since, and was also
brouget out by Capt. Bolger, but is ten feet
longer than that vessel. 'Ihe new steamer is
brig rigged, and is supplied With one of the
most improved engines of the compound
type. She has four tubular boiiers 126 inches
ia diameter, which ace permitted by the in-
spectors to carry a pressure of 80 pounds of
steam to the square inch. The vessel is di-
vided Into three water-tight compartments,
and is supplied with five large life-boats, with
evory irr provem^nt for launching, and a large
number of life preservers of the latest pat-
tern. The main saloon is well lighted and
sentilated, is elegantly furnished and very
commodious. The paneling of the walls is of
maple, French walnut, mahogany and rose-
wood, and the upholstery i of crimson plush.
There are sixteen state rooms, affording ac-
commodation for thirty-two first-class pas-
sengers, and are furnished in the same haud-
some fctylo as the large saloon, and are all
well lighted and ventilated. The ladies1 sa-
loon is directly aft the main saloon; the
smok ng room is on the hurricane deck, and
the me«3 room of the officers is on the main
deck forward. The cook house, pantry and
officers' rooms are all fitted in the finest style
and supplied with e- «ry modern convenience,
and the entire saloon is heated by steam.
The room of the captain is quite a luxurious
apartment, and is as neat as any lady's bou-
doir. Galveston can well feel proud of the
fine steamships which ply from New York to
her harbor, for they are not excelled by any
i n Southern waters, and would be a credit to
any city. Capt. Bolger speaks in the highest
terms of thecoeductof the saip on her first
voyage, and predicts for her great speed. We
append a list of the officers of the State of
Texas: Captain, James Bolger; Chief Officer,
Mr. Robinson; Second Officer, Mr. Hammond;
Chief Engineer, Mr. Carroll; First Assistant.
Mr. Masiin; Second Assistant, Mr. Brown:

throughout the year, and that, theieforo
these prices will be charged without devia-
tion Heretofore it has never been sold here
at wholesale for less than cents per pound,
except in a few instances of temporary and
active opposition, while sometimes, in cases
of scarcity, or of great demand in seasons of
epidemic, as much as 5 cents per pound has
been extorted from the necessities of the
people. This Company having perfected ar-
rangements that insure its being always
abundantly supplied, and proposing to carry
on the business permanently, does not Intend
or expect, by taking unfair advantages of the
oitiisens, to become rich within a few years,
but rather to grow gradually with the city,
and to share in its prosperity. Hence the
prices now adopted will not be Increase!
should opportuuity be offered for extortion,
and will not be diminished for the purpose of
driving others out of the business, with
view of gaining a monopoly, and then making
up losses by exorbitant charges. But a fair
living price has been adopted and will b©
uniformly adhered to, in the confident ex-
pectation that the public will signify its ap-
proval by a -liberal patronage, to deserve
which every exertion will be made.
