Gallatin, Sept, 8. Mr. W.

II. Wallace. Prosecuting Attorney for Jackson County, commenced his closing argument on behalf of tho State In the case a-ainst Frank James at a few minutes after nine this morning. Hie speech was a most ex haustive-one And was the great feature of the trial, good judges declaring they never heard it surpassed for vigor, evenness, power and eloquence. At its close Judge Goodman charged the jury who then retired in charge of the bailiffs.

Shortly before four o'clock the bailiffs in charge of the jury were notified they were ready to submit a verdict, and when court reopened at four o'clock Judge Good man was surprised Dy tne miormation. i ne defendant was brought into court with his ace pale and impassive as the day the trial began. He was attended by his wife, whose face wore an expression of suffering that made it painful to look upon. The hall was not at all crowded, as few had expected a erdict so soon. Tho jurors filed in and took their seats, all of them keeping their faces fixed on the court.

Judge Goodman put the usual question. After the roll had been alad and the verdict was submitted the udce read aloud: "we. the jury, find the defendant not guilty, as charged in the in dictment." Loud applause followed and some of the au dience threw up their hats, while great confu sion ensued. Amid it all Frank James sat looking at the Court without even a change of color or a tremor of hand, just as he had looked at the rneakers and witnesses all through the case. His wife's face, however, was changed in a second from an expression of terror to one of radiant joy.

Counsellor the defense smiled and wore the plumes of victory well. The State's attorney, Mr. Hamilton, and iiriu-e Hickhn looked gloomy and spoke not. The jury was then discharged and they uietlv left the court-room, wnen some eirree of order naa Deen resroreu and one man had been brought before the Court and given a chance to beg off for throwing up his hat, and when tne gay assemblage of ladies had moderated their jubilant buzz to a reasonable degree, the Court suggested that there were two more cases on tht. rinnknt.

The court then adjourned and the prisoner was taken back to jail in seemingly the sarr state of mind as when he lelt it. A Dry Brain. The autopsy on the body of Robert Hart, the one-leerired notion dealer, who died on the evening of the Fourth, after being struck by Thomas Fogarty, a Pa cific street saloon-keeper, brought to light a most interesting and, for some time, fluzzlinsr study in anatomy. The post mortem was conducted by Drs.

Levingston, I'ennis and Blach. Every onran, including heart, lungs, liver, was found to be perfectly normal and healthv, and the most minute in spection of the spinal cord and other vital parts failed to reveal any case of death. The absence ot any wounu or abrasion puzzled the physicians, and it was not until the brain was reached that the mystery was solved. hen the seat of knowledge was reached it was discovered that there was not a particle of blood about the brain and that it had been literally paralyzed by the desertion of the fluids. The fatality is technically known as or pri vation of blood the capillary vessels.

The brain, Dr. Levingston explained to a Chronicle reporter, is nourished by the corpuscles of the blood. A rush or ue- ertion of blood from the Head conse- auentlv leaves insufficient nutrition for the brain to carry on its functions. and a paralysis of the heart occurs. 1 his will cause death in from three and a half to five minutes.

Fainting fits are a form of but seldom of sufficient severity to result fatally. In Hart's case, the disease, sucn it can De term ed, was not due to force or violence, but to either emotion or the shock of Fogar- tv's sudden attack. Fright may have produced it, but from the prowess at tributed to the deceased by his friends it is more likely that the emotion was one of rage. Although possessing but one leg, Hart was powerfully built, and at a came of fisticuffs was a match for any two ordinary men alonsr the water front, provided that he could secure a prop for his back in oraer mat ne niipis not be toppled from his single under standing. He scarcely knew what fear was, so self-reliant was he, so that the responsibility of his demise rests with the shock or with his violent exhibition of impotent raire at beinjr literally knocked out" bv the suddenness of Foo-artv's blow.

San i ranciseo Lhron The Duty of Dressing Well. Do not disdain dress and the little Ttii-fitiou nf tho toilet: vou niav.oe a very clever woman perhaps even in tellectualbut for all that you can not afford to be careless in these matters. No woman with any sense of should allow herself to sins into a dowdy; but whatever be her trials, vexations, and disappointments, she should dress as well as her position win auow. Do not imagine that Ave are advocating extravagance; on the contrary, sim plicity is our motto, which, if uniteu to good taste, will be found more effective in the eves of husband, father, brotner, or lover, than the most costly attire which t.h milliner's art can invent. A simnle bow in the hair may look quite as coquettish ana lascinating as a uj-mnn nlcrrotte- and a cotton dress, if frph and nrettilv made, may be as becominrr as si'k: indeed, we have often seen a cotton eclipse a silk.

We mention this to illustrate the fact that riches are little compared with taste. and that every woman may aress wen she chooses that, in lact, it is ner uuty to herself and those around her to dress as well as her position will allow. Thos who accuse us who write of the fashions, and you who read, of frivolity and triviality, forget that it is just as easvto dress well as it is to aress Da'iiv, and that to dress out of the fashion TpniiiTpa much expenditure of o-ht. and care as to dress in it.

Stuart Cumberland, the English mind-reader who appeared in this coun try last, winter, has recently given an exhibition at the Ocean House, New port. The most notable performance was to tell the date of a coin which i. W. Vanderbilt took from his pocket.

Y. Sun. Rio-ht in the face of the fact that the Republicans will need the services of Mahone in tne organization ci iuo United States Senate, the Republican journals are discovering that he is very poor Republican, and that his utter and nnal defeat will not oe very mucxi of a misfortune to the party. This should be taken in the nature of a humorous effort to be honest upon the part of the Republican journals. We can't see why Mahone is not just as good a.

Republican as he ever was. Garfield considered him such a good Republican that he placed the entire Federal patronage of irginia in his hands and gave him the unlimited authority to dispose of it at his own pleasure. Mahone is just as good a Republican now as he was then, and this change of tune upon the part of the Republican organs has a sweet suggestiveness which "can not be overlooked. It is too late in the day forths Republicans to find fault with their purchase. It was a square out, open trade, and if there is anything about it, it i3 that Mahone has only too well carried out his part of the contract.

The Republicans bought him without any defalcation or discount. They knew exactly what they were getting' and were glad to get it. Such highly moral crnnms as the New York Tribune re-- joiced srreatlv over the infamous tran- saction. Mahone was a prodigal son returning to his father's house, and a dozen fatted calves were none too many for the celebration of. the ami iy reunion.

These prophets said Mahone" ex7 ample would be imitated in every SoutW-em State, and in a few years a prominent and in3uential Southern Democrat could not be found M'ithout a search warrant. There has been a fearful disappoint- ment, and the St. Louis Republican says that the fact is and ibis is viht galls and disgusts the Republican purchasers Mahone has done the party far more harm than good. It was odious enovigh in the nth before, but he has managed to make it more odious. Not onty this, but his methods in Virginia have not merely demoralized and disorganized the Republicans in that State, but sickened the better class in the North.

At the very time this class were trying to get rid of the curse of "bossism" in New York and Pennsylvania, the spectacle of the meanest "bosses'" in Virginia, supported by a Republican Administration. wa3 not pleasant look upon. Conkling and Cameron were angels of light compared with Mahone. They had some decency and dignity even in their worst acts; he had none, and did not pretend to any. From first to last ha has been "on the make," and the fraud, corruption and rasc-alily which Northern Republican "bosses' tried to conceal, this Southern Republican "boss" flaunted in the face of tlie world.

To "assume a rlr- tue if you have it not" was foreign to his nature, for virtue vas not in his line of business, and the semblance of it might embarrass him. So he has gone on in his own way, and a very pretty way it is Mhen studied from the stand-point of human depravity and. impudence. The Republicans have got Mahone; now let us see them get rid of him. lie is for them, a veritable "Old Man of the Sea" firmly seated on the shoulders of the party, and resolved to ride as long as legs and lungs hold out.

The party has made itself responsible for him and his, and that responsibility is an uncommonly heavy burden, as Republicans are now ascertaining to their sorrow and shamo. It is safe to say that the next Mahona in the market will not be snapped up as as was the present one. A burnt child dreads the fire." Columbus ((7a.) Enquirer. The Republicans smi Mr. Tildeii.

The increasing speculation over the next Democratic Presidential nomination is a tribute to the Democratic party and an admission of its commanding position, for its enemies take quite as much interest in the subject as its adherents. It is the party that is expected to elect its candidates, hose forthcoming nominations excite interest. At present the Democratic speculations about the action of their National Convention are a pleasing pastime. There are no organized efforts to secure the nomination, such as were witnessed in the Republican camp four years ago. The discussion is merely a good-natured, tolerant, and, on the whole, fair interchange of opinions not yet matured into hardened and settled convictions.

There is no training under the banner of one man or another. Democrats are M'aiting. They have not made up their minds who is the best man. The nomination is not to be made for nine or ton months, and they are in no hurry. The present preliminary discussion is a sort of tentative, go-as-you-please affair, intended to brinr out a frank and free expression ot the popular opinion.

This is the aspect of affairs in the Democratic camp. In the opposite camp matters are more significant. The pointers to the Democrat nomination are to be found in the Republican press. This is strange, but it is true. It grows out of that universal rule of tactics which bids you do the thing which most of all the enemy does not want you to do.

He knows your strong point sometimes better than you do yourself. It is significant, therefore, that in this preliminary speculation the enemy's guns are all trained on Mr. Tilden. It is curious, too. There are no indica-t'ons that the Democrats will nominate Tilden.

It is not known that he wants, or even would permit, the nomination. There are good reasons for believing that he regards his political career closed in his undoubted election to the Presidency in 1876, and that he desirts to rest his name and fame on that magnificent and historic expression of his" countrymen's good-Mill. Yet the Republican press is blazing away at him as if he were already the Democratic nominee. Why is this? Is it because it is the invariable habit of wrongr-doers to hate the man they have wronged? Is it because 'they recognize in Tilden the man they must beat and think the earlier they Vgin the business the better? Are they assailing him with an unsated malsvo- lence and indecency, which they spare other Democratic leaders, because he is of all Democrats the one whom they have the most reason to fear? Does this sleepless and ever active hostility to the distinguished New York statesmen hide a weakness in the Republican party that Democrats themselves have failed to discern? Is the real secret of this coarse and ribald treatment of a man whose public and private life is singularly exemplary an apprehension that thousands of fair-minded Republicans would take advantage of his nomination in 1884 to repair the wrong done him in 1876? We repeat that Mr. Tilden is not in the field as a candidate for the nominar-tion, and there are reasons for 1 eliev-ing that he will not be.

Still Democrats can not but observe the singular treatment he is receiving at the hands of their opponents. Not that the object of their assaults is injured by them, but because a man who hlls them with such unconcealed alarm and apprehension must possess elements of strength which Democrats themselves have not adequately appreciated.

He stated that they had come from Ken tucky; they arrived at nighf After they got there mother asked Jesse where Frank was. He replied he had left Frank in Kentucky, and that Frank was in bad health and was talking-of ja-oing South. Mother then spoke to Dick Liddell ubout Frank, and he made about the same response. Jesse remained at home for two or three months off and on; Inst saw him there about the last of July or the first of Au-srust. During these three months I saw Dick Liddell, Clarenec-and Wood Hite and Charley Ford about the place.

There was a striking family resemblance between ood Hite and Frank James; saw nothing ttE Frank all that summer. Mrs. Zerelda Samuels, mother or rrann James, testified that Jesse came home in May, 1881. Dick Liddell was with him. "They said they came from Kentucky, I asked where buck was, mat neing tne name i can He replied that he had left Frank In Ken tucky bad health.

I said 'Son, you know he dead. You may as well tell me first as last. I then turned to Liddell and asked him, and he said Frank was alive, but was in Kentucky and was in hart health. LMirinir that summer Clarence and Wood Hite and Dick Liddell and Charley Ford were at the house frequently. Frank was not there during that summer, and I did not see him from the time, seven years ago, when Sheriff Broome and others came nud shot him, till I saw him after his surrender.

Jim Cumminjrs was at the house some time in June of 1881. 1 did not at that time know where Frank was, but thought he was dead. I am fifty-nine years old, and have six children. I was in my fiftieth vear when my arm was shot off and 4 littlo bov -was killed." Being asked whetbo when ttie men left the house after the Wi ston robbery, they did not take some strange apparel with them, she said: "Yes; I gave them a dress and apron and a bonnet, so that, one of the gentlemen could pass off as a lady and you all couldn't catch 'em." Allen fanner, nrotner-m-iaw or trans James, testified to returning to his home in Wichita Falls, Texas, about the 1st of August, 1R81. and found Frank James there with his family; he wore nothing but a mustache on his face: at that time There was no railroad nearer than Fort Worth, one hundred mnes from where he lived Frank seemed to be kind of ill; said his lungs were affected.

I saw no pistols in the hands of the man who cut the bell rope. After the shooting of Westfall. the conductor, the man who shot him went to the forward end of the car. and all three of the robbers passed out of the forward door.

5. Judge Shanklin occupied the morning on behalf of the demonstrating. from the vidence the probability of Frank James being connected with the Winston robbery. He claimed there was proof positive of the defendant's participation in the rob- lierv and murder. As for the alibi, he dis missed that in very Driei temrs as oeing oaseu entirely on the testimony of interested wit nesses.

Mr. Johnson In his speech in the afternoon followed a line of argument like this That the case was either one of murder in the first degree or nothing, and it did not cor tain any murder toe second degree; trial the defendant had all along been trying to form new associations for himself, chiefly aided by the persuasions of his wife; that he had worked hard in Tennessee, then broken with the gang and gone to Texas, sending hit wife to Missouri to nego tiate a surrender; that Liddell testified aa-ainst tha accused from motives of personal cafetv: that there were but four men at the Winston robbery, and that the defendant, was not one or inose tour; mat tne mere proximity of Frank James to the scene of the robbery as detailed by tho State's witnesses did not prove actual participation in the crime; that Liddell was to be belived when he told Gov ernor Crittenden hew Frank had remonstrated with Jesce Jemes for killing any one on the train rather than when he stated from the wit- Revelation and how many seals ex-Senator Dorsey may still have to unseal, but his hrst boos has naa convincing testimony to its scriptural accuracy and fidelity. It told the story of the corruption and purchase of a State, whereby the election of the whole country was corrupted. It told of contributions of money for that purpose by men who had no patriotic interests to serve, who had not even a political interest in the election, who did not care which party succeeded, but who did have a base, a sordid and venal interest in corrupting the very fountain-head and source of Federal justice in buying beforehand the nominations to the Supreme Bench. He has told the story with dates, names and particulars.

No witness has arisen to question or to deny the truth of the whole Story. One prominent Republican editor, goaded to fnry by a stinging insult, has called Dorsey "liar" and "rascal," and one Brooklyn politician, whose name was not mentioned in the story, has uttered a feeble expression of disbelief. But of those who could speak as witnesses, of those really competent to give evidence, of those who stood in the light of accomplices as well as of witnesses, whose reputation and good standing before their fellow-citizens are involved, not one has uttered one word of denial, contradiction, correction or disclaimer. They are dumb. Jay Gould is charged with having subscribed a large sum of money on condition that he could secure the nomination of Supreme Court Judges who were friendly to his corporate interests.

He does not deny Huntington, who rests under the same charge, does not deny it. Pension Commissioner Dudley, who was active manager of the campaign, does not deny it. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John C. New, who is now the real Secretary of the Treasury, was also a manager of this venal campaign, and he does not deny. Ex-Scnator Piatt, who delivered the money with his own hands, does not deny it.

Banker Stephenson, who poured out the golden stream, does not deny it. All of these gentlemen and every one implicated in this shameful business all of them have been asked again and again to deny the story; but they refuse to speak; they are dumb. Their silence is a confession of guilt as convincing a3 any explicit avow al could be. By the use of money r.nd by the influence of money Indiana and New York, two Slates which previously voted Democratic, were bought; a National election was obtained by bribery and purchase; the steps of the Supreme Bench were tainted with the of venality an I corruptio.i. The condonation of the crime is worse than the crime itself.

The silent and guilty criminals are not alone in their guilt. They are not outcast culprits. Not a bit of it. The party they have served stands by them. Not one Republican politician, not one Republican editor, not one member of the party has arisen to repudiate the bargain and the hucksters who made it.

On the contrary they glory in it. One of the most reputable Republican papers, the Commercial A'itxrtiser, com- ares this corruption fund with the ammunition and ration? of an army and laughs at Sunday-school talk about money in as "absurd." Is this the worst? Have we reached the bottom? Or is there "within the lowest depth a deeper Unfortunately there is. The worst of the matter, the worst of the whole bad business, is not that the criminals are silent, not that the ac complices are satisfied, not that the par-tv of corruption rejoices in its corruption. The worst feature is the wide spread, universal indifference, apathy. unconcern among ine people.

Not to protest against such a crime is to acquiesce in it. Not to punish it is to invite a repetition or it; ana 3er, the truth must be told, the people who were cheated, the people who Mere wronged, the people who were outraged and insulted are almost indiuer-eni. A great political right has been turned into a farce; A great political power has been broken like glass; money has bought a State; money has elected a President; money has bought a reversion of the Supreme Bench; and, instead of the general outburst of indignation which should blaze across the countr, we witness an indifference which can not be concealed such indifference as lulled Rome to rest when a Jav Gould Crassus who had bought the jEdileship and who had bought the had finally bought the Consulship. And with such a state of affairs they tll us that the remedy is in the Tariff, or in Civil-service Reform; that the great burning question of the day is that our clerks shall be able to pa3 examinations in fractions and geography, or that pig-iron shall be made to cost a quarter of "a cent more a pound. The question of the day is none of these.

It is Electoral Reform. We must purify our elections. We must protect the "ballot-box. We must protect it against the open violence of the ruffian and against the subtler violence of the corruptionist. We must make the ballot represent the free choice of the voter.

We must punish all crimes against the purity of elections bribe-taking as well as bribe-giving. That is the issue before the people of the United States to-day; that the cause in which the Democratic party is enlisted; the purpose that can give meaning to its counsels and strength to its efiorts. The issue is druwn clearly enough. The Republican party stands ranged in battle array on one side, its forces all drawn up in order, its "ammunition and rations" ready, its Generals and camp sutlers and followers equally devoted to the common cause. The real position of the Democratic party is on the other side.

Across this line we must right our battle; it will be the Armageddon of bribery and corruption and of Republicanism. JV. Y. World. The Roman ICeus says of the scene of the Ischia earthquake: Imagine the prettiest spot on earth, endowed with every gift of nature, to which all modern comforts have been added, turned into the most hideous and appalling wreck." The same paper says that the work of rescuing those who were buried under the ruins was taken up in a fairly earnest way; "but it is undoubted that had assistance been sent at once, and such as the extent of the disaster required, a great many who perished under the weight of the blocks of stone, brick and mortar, or were suffocated by the mineral vapors, would have been saved." A couple of young villains recently entered the house of Mrs.

Ferrell, of Fairfield, while she was nursing a babe, and asked her how much she would take for her hair, she being tha possessor of beautiful locks.

J'hiladdphii Record- How it Was Received by tlxn Citizens of Gallatin and Other Points Pronounced an Outrage on. Justice A Testimonial to Prosecuting Attorney Wallace Polite ly Declined by That Gentleman. GalliAtzh, Sept. 6. Within a few minutes after rendering their verdict the Frank ames jury became invisible.

They paid their board bills and left for hctne, and one at least was sarcastically invited to come again and be a juror at the next trial. Their sympathizers disappeared with them, and all Gallatin's proper citizens at once became an indignation meeting. Groups of men gathered on every curb and corner and denounced tho verdict as an outrage on law and order. A conviction had hardly been looked for, but hung jury was deemed a probable and an acquittal an impossible thing. Yet this jury took but two ballots to.

arrive at a veraicc, tn ursv standing eleven to one tor acquittal, the second unanimous for acquittal. People here can not understand how this verdict was arrived at. and rumors of curious import in regard to the jury which have been floating round for davs past were suddenly revived. Jt was remembered that five names of the panel of forty had been on the list of jurors desired to be summoned by the defense. At the time it was debated whether to have the entire panel rejected and a new list summoned by an omcer otner tnan tne Sheriff, or to strike the five names off in the State's challenges.

The latter course was adopted withjome misgiving. It was also remembered how a man had ridden through the western part of the county and notified certain parties friendly to James to be on hand for iurv service. It was remembered. too, how one of the twelve had, before be- the evidence might be he would vote for acquittal if on the jury. Another of the twelve was said to have been brought by the defense so that he could be placed on the panel.

The feeling against Sheriff Crozier, who summoned the special venire, has been pretty strong from the beginning of the trial, and that officer has been most heartily criticised to-night. Long before supper time the sympathy oi Gallatin's best citizens, in behalf of law and order, took a practical form. A fund was raised, chiefly through the exertions of T. B. Yates, of the Fanners' Exchange Bank, and George luggie, ti tne uaviess County Savings Association, to present Mr.

Wallace with something that would remind him of the esteem that Gallatin's citizens had for the man who had so vigorously prosecuted James. Nearly all the propeity owners and merchants of Oallatin met at Judge McDougall's law office about 8:3) o'clock. D. Harfleld Davis made the pre sentation speech, ana handed ilr. aiiace a cold watch on behalf os the citizens of this place, in appreciation of his services in the prosecution of the most famous crimi nal case etrr.

After a lew words by Judgp Shanklin, a resolution was offered by Df. Black to apply the money printing vv auace closing speech.

This was carried, and Messrs. Davis, Black and Yates vre made a committee on that business. The meeting then adjourned.

Kansas Citt, Sept. 6. The verdici the James case was re ceived with great interest in this city.

Itwa? talked about to-night to the exclusion of other tonics.

Some declared that no other result could have been reached; that there was no evidence to convict: that the state ments of witnesses for the btate were not worthy of belief. One in a thousand thought that James had received simple justice. A great majority of the people, however, said that the verdict of acquittal was an outrage which would add to shame in many instances. Jefferson Citv, Sept. 6.

The news of the acquittal of Frank James was received here between four and five o'clock this afternoon, and immediately spread through the town. Among those who have watched the progress of the trial closely the outcome of it was not a surprise. Some said they were in hopes he would be convicted, others were glad of his acquittal, while others made it the occasion lor reviving the epitnet, "poor oia juis-souri." Governor Crittenden, when ap proached and asked if he had anything to say regarding it, replied tnat ne cau not.
