The figures do not make a favorable showing for the American manufacturer, but where so many fields are open they may offer valuable suggestions as to what the cotton trade of thiscoui.try might be made if the matter is handled in that energetic manner peculiar to American merchants. Of course in some of the countries named the United States can hardly hope to compete successfully with England, but it is difficult to find a reason why the latter should be allowed to monopolize the trade on this continent.

delegation of Chickasaw Indians are at present in Washington to enter a protest against granting a right of way through Choctaw lands to the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad company. They claim to own the lands in common with the Choctaw?, and that their consent is necessary before tbe right can be granted. The secretary of the interior takes a different view of the matter, but will render no decision until he hears what the delegation has to say.

The telephone is getting to be more and more a necessity. People Wonder every day how they got along without it. Ultimately householders and business men will make as much calculation to have telephones as they now do to have gas aad water privileges, and the telephone will largely supercede the telegraph for short distances.

In a recent interview Congressman Ellis, of Louisiana, who is a very strong democrat, and who has been an advocate of the peculiar views of fa is party in the south, said: "The time is Comlag wh'on men may divide on principle rather than prejudice, and when members of the different political parties shall respect each other's opinions. This is no more than right it is absolutely essential. In this state and city, for six or eight years past, anybody without morals, brains, or principles, could be'elected, provided he could trick himself into a democratic nomination, and all because of a tyrannical public opinion that plmost ostracised a man who avowed himself a republican, and this opinion was enabled to be a tyrant in strength becauso of the horrid and disgraceful rule of the republican party in the state."

The expression of such sentiments leads to the belief that the liberal movement is gaining gound in Louisiana.

the President, in

order to be fally informed of the facts of the case and to be enabled to act advisedly upon my application for relief, appointed a board of Army officers to examine into the merits of the case and report what action, it any, in their opinion, justice required should be taken on my application. That board, after a thorough examination into the facts of the case, vindicated me in every respect, and reported that, in their opinion, justice required at the hands of the President such action as may be necessary to annul and set aside the findings and sentence of the court martial and restore me to the positions of which that sentence deprived me, Buoh restoration to take effect from the data of dismissal from the service. And

A STERN CHASE

On the Kanawha River—1 he Mob After the Fiends of the Ashland, Kentucky,

Tragedy.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 5.—The imt* Star Cattletsburg (Ky.) special says: Judge Brown( fearing the great crowd from Ashland wonld prevent a hearing of the cases of the Gibbons family, ordered the steamer Mountain Girl to get up steam and take the prisoners to Maysville, Ky., for safe keeping. Owing to the difficulty of getting the prisoners on board the sheriff put them on a ferry boat and started down the river. The mob took possession of the steamer Mountain Girl and started in pursuit. It is thought the prisoners cannot get to Maysville alive

I RONTON, O, January 5.—The trial at Cattlettaburg of tbe Ashland murderers was set for 1 o'clock. Judge Brown, fearing the action of a mob about 2,000 strong, had the prisoners placed on a ferry boat, which transferred them to the Mountain Boy, at Sheridan's Coal workp, three miles below Cattlettaburg. The excited mob heariug of this, captured the steamer Mountain Girl, and are in hot pursuit. The Mountain Boy passed here, ten miles from Cattlettaburg, with the prisoners, at 2 p. m. The Mountain Girl is not here yet, at 2:40 p. m. It is supposed that the Mountain Bey will be overtaken before she reaches Mayaville, as the Mountain Girl stopped at Ashland, and the mob is now making efforts to secure atrain to head off the Mountain Boyjat Portsmouth.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, January 5.—The steamer Mountain Boy, having on board Ellis Craft, George Ellis and William Neal, the Ashland murderer?, guarded by a detachment of tbe Maysville Guards, a military company seventy-five in number provided with arms and ammunition, touched at this point for coal at 5:30 p. m.. George'.ElliB,when interviewed reiterated what he has already confessed, which did not difler from what has been reported by the Associated Press, and he still claims that hi8 share in the murder was only that of an nawilling witness The steamer Hudson, with the militia met the Mountain Boy at Riverton, twelve miles above here, and transferred tbe Maysville gnards to the Mountain Boy. The Mountain Girl, a mile or two behind at the time, abandoned pursuit on learning that the prisoners were strongly guarded by military. No boisterous demonstrations attended the landing of the steamer at this point, but it required the utmost efforts of the civil officers and the military to keep the immense crowd from rushing on to tbe boat.

VANCKBUBG, Ky., Jan. 5.—The steamer Mountain Boy arrived here at 7:30 with the Ashland fiends on board, expecting to reach their destination, the Maysville jail, about midnight. Saeriff John Kouna left Greennp at 6 o'clock, and embarked on the B. T. Enos for Caltlettuburg, arriving there at 10:30 in time to attend the preliminary examination of Ellis Craft. Craft waived examination. Excitement was rife, and the rappidly growing crowd threatened violence. Word was received that a train loaded with lynchers had started from Ashland and was expected at any time, Fearing the mob, the Mountain Girl, which was lying at tbe wharf, was chartered to convey the prisoners to Maysville. While the Girl was raising steam the train from Ashland rolled in with about 500 determined regulators on board. The Sheriff with a party of ten guards, by an adroit movement, removed the prisoners from the jail to the wharf. As eoon as the crowd beheld the prisoners. they started down the? bank with loud yells of indignation, gathering arms and mirsiles ready for an assault. The Sheriff seeing the mob descending, and the Girl not yet having steam up, boarded the ferry boat with his party, and turned her down stream. The mob took possession of the Girl, cut her loose and commenced a determined chase. The Girl not yet having sufficient steam pressure, scon fell behind, bnt in a short time she got in shape and commenced gaining rapidly on tbe slow ferry boat, and in a short time tbe Girl approached so closely that a capture seemed imminent. Bnt fortunately the Mountain Boy, a fastei boat than the Girl, approached on the soene on her regulsr trip up from Ashland to Louisa. She was hailed by the Sheriff, pressed into service, and the party rapidly transferred to her. When the transfer had been successfully made the Girl, black with an excited, enraged and howling mob, was right on their heels, and tbe exciting chase was resumed, bnt the Boy, flying light, showed her a clean pair of heels. Near Ashland the Hudson, with Kentucky militia, was met in midstream, and Captain A. C. Reaper's Mason County Guards, tweifty-five men, transferred to tbe Boy and tpok charge of the prisoners. The pursaing vessel was still in eight, but when they learned that the militia had arrived the chase waa abandoned. During the chase tbe Boy, which proved to be a flyer, cleared twelve miles an hour under a high pressure. The prisoners were located in the rear cabin under gnard. Craft and Neal were shackled together. They all brightened up when the chase was abandoned. Ellia spent the time reading the papers, acd appeared greatly depressed. Craft and Neal were chatty and lively.

INDIGNANT CITIZENS.

CINCINNATI, O., January 5.—The Gazette'a Ashland, Ky., special says: Judge Brown, upon hearing that a mob was coming from Ashland to lynch the prisoners, issued an order for the removal of the prisoners to Mason County, to the Maysville jail, and Craft having waived examination, be adjourned the Circuit Court till January 16tb, The citizens here are very indignant at Brown. They had agreed to protect tbe prisoners, and tbe prosecuting committee had asked tbe Governor for troops to assist in keeping order, and it was in response to this that the troops were started up from Mayaville. The citizens sent a committee to Judge Brown to ask him to rescind his order, but he refused. A despatch hae been aent Senator Moore to get an act passed to-morrow sppointing a session of court next Monday for their trial.
