FRANK RANDE.

An Accurate Likeness of the Ruffian.

Friday.

A spruce looking young man entered the office of Chief McDonough this morning and introduced himself as Frank Nichols, the party who laid in jail two weeks and a day on a charge of being the St. Elmo Murderer, and who was tried and acquitted a few davs ago. Nichols produced letters from the Illinois authorities identifying and introducing him to the chief. It was his desire, he said, to see Rande, and to satisfy himself whether or not he bore such a striking resemblance to the much talked of cut-throat. Chief McDonough accompanied him down stairs and to the cell where Rande is confined. 'Here's Frank Nichols,' said the chief by way of introduction.

Rande came over to the door and look, ed steadily at his visitor for a few minutes. He then asked: 'Is this the brilliant bandit of the Wabash?' •That's what they called me,' replied Nichols. 'Well, f'm d—d glad to 6ee you bless your soul* 6aid Rande, putting his

ri_rht

hand through the bars to shake hands'. 'So they took you tor me did they? Well well you don look like rue you ain't as Suod looking a man as I am.' And Rande laughed at the joke as heartily as did Nichols.

Some desultory conversation followed, during which Nichols said his arrest had ruined him. He was a railroad man and found that it was impossible to obtain employment. Everybody seemed to suspect him. His acquittal seemed to have done very little towards re-establishing his good character, 'You can't blame me for that,' put in Rande. 'If those fellows up there positively identified you as the St. Elmo murderer, why I surely cannot 'be liie man. If these men down here are dead certain that I'm the murderer. Why, don't you see, you can't be the man.' The speaker's eyes sparkled as if they partook somewhat of their owner's glee at this vety logical argument.

As Nichols turned to leave, Rande ex tended his hand and taid, 'Good bye, Frank hope we'll meet again some day

At noon Dr. Robinson visited his patient, He found his condition im-

proved, the trip from the hospital yesterday seeming to have benefited him. He said he slept soundly last night, and ate a hearty breakfast this morning. 'You bet your life, Dock, they can't scare me by talking about hanging me I'll die game.' 5 Then changing tne subject he asked: 'Do I I look like a tramp, as one of the papers says? These clothes are as good as anybody's, ain't they?'

It"is not known when the Illinois authorities will claim their prisoner, but it is more than probable that they will try to get away to-morrow night." From the St. Louie Evening Disoatch

The picture we present above is an accurate likeness of Rande. It was taken under peculiar circumstances. Frequent attempts had been made by the police to get a photograph but whenever a camera wasp tinted at him he distorted his features to such an extent as to make it impossible. In this exigency the St. Louis Evening Dispatch secured the services of Mr. Jump, an artist of St. Louis, who has remarkable facility in drawing. He interviewed Rande as a reporter of the Dispatch, and ivhile talking to him drew the picture from which the cut wat made. The likeness is said \o be perfect. The mark on the breast is where he was shot in the light in the pawn shop before his arrest. We are in debted for the cut to the courtesy ot the Dispatch. From the St Louis Evening Dispatch tf

From all I can glean from the newspaper accounts,' continued the man in the uniform, "I have a notion that Rande, the fellow now in your custody, is ttie same rascal| who cave me this leg,' and the speaker pointed to his left leg and touched his crutches affectionately. 'Well, how many victims has Rande, anyhow?' mused the Chief. 'Dunno,' said Secretary Chapman grabbing a pen and making preparations to jot down the name and remarks of the man in the uniform. The secretary's action was at once imitated by the Dispatch man, and for a brief period nothing but pcncilb and pens were to be heard skipping over paper in the room. 'You will remember that I wrote you on the

20th

that I thought Rande and my

assailant were one and the same person,' pursued the man in the uniform 'now, I would like to take a look at the fellow.' 'We'll go down,' baid the Chiet.

And down to Rande's cell they vent. And down to Rande's cell w^nt the Dispatch man. 'That's him—that's the identical chap,' exclaimed 'he man in the uniform, 'the very one who put me on crutches.'

Rande looked at the speaker and then said.'Yes, I shot you, and with one of the pistols they captured with me.'

Here the interview ended, and when the Chief, and the man in the uniform, and the D. M., returned to the office, the man in the uniform unbosomed himselt substantially as follows:

On the evening of the 8th of October, while I was eating my supper, a negro caine in and said there was a man over on my beat who was raising the devil. My beat embraced that part of the sub urbs of Indianapolis through which the Indianayolis and Lafayette railroad runs. It is a section ot the town fnhibited by the riff-raff of the community—white and black—and fights there are as common as potatoes. The negro told me that the man whose arrest he desired had been in the neighborhood for two or three days that he had b°en living among the colored people, keeping in their confidence by distributing snide jewelry among the women. On the night in question he bad asked his entertainer to prepare a supper for hitn. The request could not be complied with because there was no tuel on the premises with which to get up a blaze. The fellow got over the difficulty by entering an adjoining yard, capturing a wheelbarrow and reducing it to kindling wood. My informant was the owner of that wheelbarrow and he wanted its destroyer taken in."

Well, I wen! out to make she arrest. For the first time in my official liie I neglected to strap my navy on my person. Arriving at the place designated, I found my man—this same fellow Rande—and took him in charge. He walked along very quietly until we reached a place on the railroad track where it was tolerably light, when I noticed a moveirent of the right hand that didn't suit me. Pulling my billy from my bteast I struck him twice over the head but the blows, although they brought the blood, were not sufficient to prevent the rascal from accomplishing his purpose. He whipped out a revolver, struck me in the face and started on a run, firing back at: me over his lett shoulder. The first shot took me in the leg—the ieU one here, iust above the ankle—and down I went. Rande continued to fire, but none of the subsequent shots found their way to me. He es-'

The man in the uniform started to go down town and the man with the pencil started to put down what he had heard.

Rande is better to-day but not yet sufficiently recovered to be removed to Illinois. THE DESPERADO TAKEN TO THE SCENE

ST. LOUIS. November 27.—Sheriff Hitchcock,

Btir.

Peoria, held a conference

with the police commissioners, this afternoon, regarding the division of the reward offered for Rande, the murderer, and a satisfactory arrangement was made, but the precise nature of it has not yet transpired. It was agreed, however, that Rande should be delivered to the Illinois authorities, and he left.for Galesburg on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train, at 8:20 to-night, in charge of Sheriff Hitchcock, Sheriff Beragrew, of Knox county CQjjpf of Pelice Kinscy. of Peoria, Prostcutor Kellogg, 91 Knox county, four deputies, and Detective Hennesay of this city. There was a considerable crowd at the depot when the train started, but a ve«*y slim one at East St. Louis, when the train arrived there, and no indications of nny unusual

Rande will be taken directly to Galesburg. He was in a gay humor when he left, and apparently had no apprehension whatever of any unlawful demonstration being made against him. The press was well represented in the party, and should anything unusual or exciting occur on the trip it will ba promptly reported.

The Peoria Journal of Saturday has the following poem written by Rande, and supposed to contain hints, as to certain poinls in his past lite*

CEREAL CROP.

MARK LANE EXPRESS ON THE CROP. LONDON, November 27.—The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review ot the ^rain trade, says: The cereal yield is turning out very deficient throughout the country. Supplies of home growp grain are again moderate, both in Mark Lane and the country markets. English wheat, generally, is in a deteriorated condition. The smallness of supplies may be accounted for to some extent by the fact that the present price of wheril offers little inducement to farmers to thresh, whereas barley is steadily improving, and there has been more disposition to market this than wheat. The meagre snpplies of the latter indicate an expectation of hi2her prices later on. Imports into London last week were again unusually heavy, the returns of Monday showing the arrival of over one hundred thousand quarters, a large proportion of which consisted 01 Bussian wheat, shipments of which may be prolonged by the mildness of the season. Indian wheat is coming in freely. The supplies received from these two sources, added to the vast shipments from American Atlantic ports, still fetter trade, although during the past fortnight it has exercised a less depressing power, owing to the unsatisfactory yield of the home crop upon threshing. There has been a fair consumptive demand for most classes of wheat off stands. Values remain stationary. Higker rates are demanded for mais*, wb ch have checked tha inquiry, but this article is still firm, while six pence to a shilling per quarter more has been paid for grinding barley. The oat trade is alow, bat late rates are maintained.

Night Session Held for tbe Par* jHnssf barryinf the Senate tfrer Until To-day.

Davis said the contest now going on in the senate had attracted the country,and from the peculiar poeition he occupied in relation te the parties, he trusted it would not be oat of the way for him to give briefly the reasons why he should vote for the motion of tbe senator from Ohio (Tnurnl*n). There were three seats in tbe senate chamber vacant one .belonging to South Carolina, and the others to Louisiana, and itwa» a matter of great importance that they be filled. The leg-

congress was bindiug upon and the people thereof nad xpect that the claims to

islation those sti the rig those se earliest fcUpposeAthat when this session opened these sefla would be filled or declared vacant the end of the session, t. It was too Bate now for

that.

no agtfacy in

brln^tprmslWi&httidniiefore the sia»tc, but the mover of it (Thurman) probably knew that his (Davis') judgment didn't approve of the policy towards the south since the rebellion. He thought the southern Rtates should be represented, by persons identified with the interests of their people. It had been suggested that this motion to discharge the committee was against the usages of the

Benate.

The senator from Delaware (Bayard) a few days ago, cited a precedent in the case of the bill for the readmission of Texas into the union, some years ago, and if he (Davis) might be allowed to refer to the proceedings of the other house of congress, he could say that only las week a representative from Maine moved to discharge the committee on elections from further^consideruion of the Colorado case, and this motion resulted in fixing a day for its hearing. He (Davis) did not see why this case should be longer coutinned in the committee on privileges and elections. It diil seem to nina that the case could be decided by the senate upon the conceded facts, which appeared in the briefs of the respective candidates, Corbin and Butler. If the committee should examine this South Carolina case, such examination would undoubtedly result in two reports, both of them able, no doubt but what was the necessity for reports, when all the facts would be reached in open senate. Besides, in the evenly-balanced condition of parties in the senate, it was apparent that these two reports would not receive that consideration which reports id other matters ordinarily receive. The committee on privileges and elections had, to-day, reported on the Louisiana contest and

was asked that this case ba acted

upon before the South Carolina case. If the report in the Louisiana case bad been made to the senate before the introduction of the resolution of the senator from Ohio (Thurman) to discharge the committee from further consideration' of the credentials of Butler, he would have voted to consider the Louisiana case first, and against tbe resolution of the senator from Ohio but as that senator had submitted hia resolution first, it took pre cedence, and he believed that now was the proper time to decide the case in opeu senate.

The vice president—The question is Will tbe senate agree to the resolution? Edmunds—Mr. President, I believe my honorable friend from Illinois (Davis) is partly correct in speaking ef the evenlybalanced state of parties in the senate whether he referred to ail the parties in the senate or not, I do not know.

Laughter.] There are two parties in the senate that are very evenly matched. How it is with the third I do not know. [Laughter.]

Davis—Ihe third is unaniniotts. [Laughter.] Edmunds—I assume that the third party is unanimous, as my friend has just stated. [Laughter.] I hope we shall have order, Mr. President, I cannot go on.

The vie* president—That rests with the senator from Vermont. [Laughter.] Edmunds—Then we shaft have order. The very statement that my honorable friend has made leads me to think that if he would reflect a little he would see its error. It is only the other day that my friend, himself, in respect of the case of Eustis—I think that is the name of one of the Louisiana people—which on the face of it was a simple question arising on the state of the papers, as they were read here by a senator, saw with his usual quickness snd clearness of apprehension that there was a question of law involved in one, that ought to bs considered—as he stated, I believe himself— by the committee, and reported on. N .t a dispute of facia, but that the committee ought to report after careful study

and investigation and examination of au thorities, and of the political history, Ac, in order that the senate might be informed of tbe state of the law. But what says my friend now, in the case from 8outh Carolina? There, he thinks, there is no dispute of facts, because he say a the facts are conceded in the two brief\ I do not kdow that. Let us take up that case which the committee has reported, and which, of course, is of just as high privilege as the other.

Before we shall have finished the consideration of that, I have not the least question that we shall have a report in this, and if we shall

on fairly and

do our duty justly we shall not have inflicted a blow upon a fundamental principle of the constitution of this boay, in respect of members that are to belong to it, by turning into a mere race and scramble of partisanship, or corrupt bargain for the sale of votes. If, as is alleged, that in this case, which makes it necessary to hasten this matter—

MsDonald—Mr. President, I should like to ask the senator from Vermont if he has any evidence of any corrupt bargain having been had in respect to this or any other order.

Edmunds—I said, "as is alleged." I will answer my honorable friend a little further, however, and say that I do not possess myself any legal evidence, because I have sworn no witnesses. I will state for his information that I believe it, and will add also that I believe that unless a majority of this body should stifle an inquiry, it will be proved.

McDonald—I desire to say that I believe offers have been made.from the other side*

Edmunds—Certainly, Mr. President, my honorable friend has now added to my statement an important circumstance. I had not suggested that there was any proof against my honorable friend. I do not care on which side of this chamber a senator sits who is in any way implicated in any corrupt bargain or any improper proceeding, he must be dealt with, and if the senator is correct in his information( and believes it, he ought to unite with me. Before we admit any one that has any thing to do with such an affair into the senate, and keep him in, we should have an inquiry.

McDonald—I shall join with the senator at any time in seeking an investigation into that fact, whenever he is ready for it.

Edmunds—Certainly, my friend will have an opportunity if he lives a very short. Mr, honorable friend from Illinois has stated what I was very sorry to bear him state. There is nothing improper in the fact itself, bathe has refstred to iir -wtoiUVMlnnuh of the legislative department of government.

Davis (of Illinois)—I did not know that was not in order. Eimunds— He has brought that forward as an illustration, or an authority, for a consideration ot this step which he says he is about to take to discharge this committee. 1 cannot go into those proceedings to show him, or to shsw you, that my friend has misapplied the instance, in my opinion, because I am forbidden by tbe strict rules of parliamentary law, and by that other consideration which should appeal to erery member of this body, ana to every member of tbe other, and would to my friend, as I know, that we cannot go into a discussion of what takes placft in either house, independent of the mere rule, but upon principles of the highest propriety-

I move that the senate proceed to the consideration of executive business.

The vote was then taken on Edmunds' motion and rejected—yeas, 28 nays, 30 as follows, yeas: Allison, Anthony, Booth. Bruce, Burnside, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Cameron of Wisconsin, Coffee, Christiancy, Conklnie, Dawes, Dorsey, Edmunds, Hoar Howe. Ingalls, Jones of Nevada, Kirkwood, McMillan, Matthew, Mitchell, Morrell, Ogles by, Paddock, Rollins, Saunders Teller Wadleigh—28. Nays: Bailey, Barard, Beck, Cockerel I, Coke, Conover, Davis of Illinois, Davis of West Virginia, Dennis, Garland, Gordon, Hsrris, Hereford, Jones of Florida, Kernan, Lamar, McCreary, McDonald, McPberson, Merrimon, Morgan, Patterson, Randolph, Ransom, Saulsbiry, Thurman, Voorbees, Wallace, White and Withers—30.

Blaine, Forry, Hamlin, Plamb, Sargent, Spencer and Windom, who would have vote in the affirmative were paired with Grover. Maxey, Barn urn, Armstrong, Eaton, Hill and Johnson, who would have voted in the negative.

Christiancy argued that the facts regarding the South Carolina case are less in dispute now than at the last session, wlyn his Democratic friends had voted with him to send it to the committee for investigation He was just as anxious as the gentleman from Illinois (Davis) to have prompt action taken on the pending cases, but he wished first to have them properly examined.

Howe referred to the rumors of bargains, by which votes were to be given to the Democratic party in the senate, and said that he was very glad that so large a portion of the world could crowd the galleries of this senate chamber, and come here to see tbe thing done, for be would not like to see the delivery without an audience.

Mr. Patterson—Mr. President, it was not my intention to address tbe senate to-day, I propose to-morrow, on the main questson, to address tbe senate at length. But if I can say anything that wilt quiet the alarm of my Republican friends on this side of the chamber, I want to do it. The Republican party has been a brave party, but I never saw it so fluttered in my life as it is just now, and lor no cause in the world. What is the question before this body? Tbe question is on a resolution to discharge tbe committee on privileges and elections from consideration of the case of C. Butler, of South Carolinia. The gentlemen who voiced this side of the chamber find fault with certain persons—their associates— for voting as they do on this resolution should first admit and confess whose fault it is that that this man is here to-day. We have been in session since tbe 15th of Octobor, and there has been no move-

Whole No,

99e

ment, no report, from the committee on privileges and elections in regard to any of these cases. Every senator on this side of the chamber has known the anxiety that reports should be made of these cases. Frequently have I told my friends on this side of the chamber that if the report in the Kellogg case come up I would stand by that report until it was settled, and I never told a Democrat on either side of the chamber, except Gen. Butler, that if this motion was made in this case I would vote for it in preference ti voting on tbe Kellogg's case. I told Gen. Butler that if the Kellogg report was not brought up, and they sbouldTdelay it, and his friends should bring up a motion for his admission, 1 would stand by the motion. Now if that is corruption, eall it corruption, and make the most of it.

Mr. President, I am a senator On this floor. I have taken the ssme oath that every other senator has taken. I propose to do my duty, and there is no power in the senate or jnt of it that can drive me from what 1 believe is right. I am prepared to give the senate and country reasons why I vote for the admission of M. C. Butler as senator from South Carolina, and am ready to stand or fall upon the verdiot of the public when I give those reasons. There has been so much said on this question in the newspapers snd on the streets that I do not propose to reply, to some things that have been said, here.

It is said that I propose to transfer the political power of this body to the Democratic party. No man liying has authority to quote me for such a purpose. I would sooner lose my right arm than do anything to endanger the supremacy of the Republican party. If voting for General M. C. Butler, because he is honestly and fairly entitled to it, is to destroy the Republican party, God knows it ought to be destroyed very coon.

Mr. President, some people express surprise at my vote. There is not a senator on this chamber who does not know that it was

for

iublished all summer that I would vote tbe admission of Butler of Gen. M.C. Butler. When the legislature met, under the call of Governor Hampton, on the 24th of April, 1877, I «?as at Columbia. The Chamberlain government had vanished. Whose fault was that? I think there are around me some gentlemen who stood by the piesident, and who advised the president to commit what I think was the greatest blunder of bis administration, and that was to remove the troops from the state bouse in South Caroline. I fought that policy as long as I coald, and wish I could have eontinoed the fight until this day. Bat I was strioken devn, and my* party west dews with SM. My MMdi aaMmbled in Columbia, after the legislature was organised. I took their advice upon this question. Lawyers and members of the senate and members of the bouse, who had voted for me. I submitted to them the question, now what must I do They all told me with very few exceptions, "all yon can do now Is to vote to seat Butler." But they say the Hampton legislature is legal, lawful and constitutional. We think it is better for peace and quiet, and the protection of our people, and you should not antagonise them on that question, and that you should vote to seat Gen. Bo tier.

Perhaps some of my friends on this side of tne chamber, who believed tbat I would not do so who believed they could persuade me not to do so perhaps some of them were silly enough to believe they could bulldose me into not doing it. They affect great surprise. After what 1 have passed throngh is Sooth Carolina io eight years, in political campaigns, I do not propose to be belldosed in this senate.

The senator trom Vermont voted against the admission ot Pinchback. Why? Because he thought it was right to vote that way. Did 1, who voted for Pinchbsck's admission because I thought it was right to vote that way, get ap in this body and charge a corrupt bargain? No: I have too much respect for him, and too much respect for myself, to do such a thing. He had aright to vote against Pinchback's admission. Why? Because he thought he was not elected. voted for his admission, not becajse he was a Republican, not to maintain a Republican supremacy in this body, but because I believed be was elected.

Mr. Patterson continued at length declaring his devotion to the Republican party, and denying »!.e charges made against him by his colleagues. He was followed by Conover, who spoke in the same vein.

Conover concluded fallows: I am one to-day, unless it is impossible for me to vote convictions on a question we are deciding as judges, and still be a Ss* publican. 1 believe a man may be both an honest man and a Republican if not, the former is preferable to the latter. All reports, all whisperings, tbat I hare formed a coalition with the Democrats, is utterly false no Democrat, either inside or ontside of this chamber, has ever approached me with an assursnee of benefit to myself if I would vote to seat Butler: and one reason why I make this declaration of my purpose, is, that I Bay not be approached with like assurances by my politic »1 friends if I will vote the other way. (Manifestations of applause io the galleries, which were checked by tbe vice-pre,ident.

Edmonds, resuming, said be felt it to be an unpleasant duty to test the sense of tbe senate in order that the honor of all senators will be vindicated, and that the truth might be known by havinr an inquiry into the whole business. The senators saw on Thursday last, and the people of the country saw, some scenes which occurred in the senate chamber respecting tbe conduct of persons claimiag seats, and senators as well, which caused

shock, a

sense of shame and humiliation, on both sides of tbe chamber. That was followed a statement that Butler had ordered Patterson to go and vote for the admission of a certain applicant or go to the penitentiary.

Patterson said that if the senator (Mr. Edmunds) said that be (Patterson) made a bargain of that kind, he said what was not true. (3ensation.)

Mr. Edmunds said it wafc one of the daties ef a senator and a gentleman to be careful in his statements. He repeated
