Assort! us the train stopped it was bounlcd by Chief of Police Clack and the following mciiiliers of the police lone: Chief ol lletcelives K. M. Porter, .detectives Turner and Sidcboltoni," Capt. Burl;, officers Sands and Bolton. Chief Clack, dressed in citizen's clothes, went up to one of the men And asked him where 'Sul livan was. The man replied that he was asleep and could not he disturbed. The chief told him who he was, and that he must, see htm. The chief, followed by several of his men, then wont to the state room, in the front end,' where he found: Sullivan, his trainer, Mtildoon, ami Charley Johnson, his backer. M uldoon and Johnson were silling up, while Sullivan occupied the lierth that extended the length of the stale room. The hip; fellow was lying apparently asleep. The cbjvf asked the other men their name. One of them said his name was Lynch and the other culled himself Koliertsoii. There was no occa sion to ask the name of the giant lyinjur on the berth. Anybody, would have known that he was the great and only John. Chief Clack said: "Cieiulcmcn, fain sorry totlistnrb you, but 1 :un the chief of police ol Nashville, and you must go with inc." Johnson became spokesman, Mtildoon remaining quid. He inquired for what they were wanted. Chick said: "I intend to arrest you," "On what clinrgc?"e.claiiiii'd Johnson. "I have authority for the arrest ol voiir parly, air! you must go with me," answered the chief. "1 will not go without a warrant. Von must show your authority. I'am a citizen of New York, a tax payer, and 1 stand on my rights as an American eiti zen." The chief insisted that he must go.'thut it would lie lietter avoid trouble. "Von don't know who I am nor any thing I have done. 1 am on niv wav to New York on business." I he chief saul lie was sauslieil lie was one of the men he wanted. "ltv this time the ear had filled with people, who were crowilin;.; for a look at the scene. The police tried iiitllecluallv to remove them. 'I he object of the prize fighting party evidently was to palaver until the train pulled out. The chief told one of his nn n to gw and hold the train, lie returned in a minute and said it could not lie held as it was a 1' ni led States mail train. The chief then told him to uncouple the sleeper. The foregoing conversation hail passed while Sullivan was sl.il! lying at full length, either asleep or pretending to be. He was dressed in a light woolen shu t open nt the throat, dark trousers, blue belt find supers. His lirur.was cut short and his beard was a day old. He did not look as though lie had recently lieeti engaged in a prize fight, the only evidence of the eoi'illict I icing his swollen hands. Chief Clack told Ins friends that they must wake him up. They declined to do it and the chief himself shook him slight ly. Sullivan raised himself up drowsily .and looked, wondering what all the row was about. The cliiel informed him of liis business and asked him to go with him. lie said he would not go. Chief Clack said thai he meant business and .intended to arrest him. "Well, what arc eon going' to do about it?" said Sullivan addressing Mtildoon. flic latter replied, "fH course wi-won't be arrested unless they show us a war rant." , "Then 1 won't go," said S ;l :,'au an grily. "You can't arrest uic; my name is not Sullivan." He then got up fiom his berth and took a scat with Johnson. The crowd outside the car then took a glimpse of the champion through the window and began cheering vocifer ously. Sullivan looked ugly and as if he in tended to resist to t In fullest measure of his strength. '"Finding that Sullivan - would not go the oiliccfs took hold of him. lie arose and called on his friends. They did not obey his request, httl told him that he was dealing with lite chief of police and advised him not to hit the . olhcers. "No, 1 will not hit anybody, but I'll be j d d if I will go," exclaimed Sulhvan. ' Chief Clack then caught him by the col lar. Several oilier officers crowded into the room, and a desiKiate struggle en sued. Some ol the nflicers had their pis tols draw n, and it looked like a general pistol as well ns pugilistic fight was about to liegin. Three or lour men caught Sullivan, his friends offering him no assistance and no resistance to the of ficers. Sullivan gave an exhibition of his splendid strength. He jerked and pulled and tried to push the officers off. "Oive jne a show. 1 won't hurt you, hut I won't go withyoif," exclaimed the Hercules. . , ,3 The officers held to him, although he was in a heat of passion, and looked as though he could have knocked anv of them through the side of the car. If he had struck out some one would have re lieved a long-to-lx--rcmenilHTcd blow. The sight of the clubs and pistols were probablv what caused him to restrain his evidently strong desire to give the of ficers an example of his prowess ns a hard hitter. '1 here were enough ufheers present, however, to overcome his giant strength. One ol them slipped tlic mp iiers on one of his wrists and then on the . other. Seeing that he was at this dis advantage, Sullivan gave in. lie was pushed out of the car as fast as the officers could make him move, John on was also handcuffed and taken out. J; lit the excitement Mtildoon was not ar rested, but went on with Cleai v and the other Iricnils 4 Sullivan. The officer forced their wav tluoti the crowd and pushed their prisoners in ! carnages, three ollicers ami one prisoner j occupying each .carriage. They drove through Church Hlrccftiml to the police station. Lawyers were at once engaged t und n writ of IkiIk'iis corjMis applied tor. At 3 o'clock sharp, Judge McAllister, of the circuit 'court, itn,(,k his np -aratice and proceedings were licgun. Sullivan and Jofmsoti, or Lvncli, as he-gave his I name, uppeitrcd with their lawyers', V. against him and without the shadow of legal authority, lie declared that lie had committed no offense against the laws ol Tennessee and was not subject to legal restraint, lie had committed no teloiiy in this State or any other. The answer to this petition recited ihal chief ol police Clack had positive infor mation that Sullivan did commit a crime in the State of Mississippi, and that he lielicved this crime was a Kiiitenti ir offense to the laws ol Mississippi. Coun sel discussed at length and finally Judge McAllister rendered his decision. lie was very emphatic in his opinion that to hold Sullivan longer would lie a most arbitrary act on the part of the court: that tilt: officers had arrested him with out a warrant or authority of law ; that misdemeanors were not evtrudituhlc by the rulings of Tennessee courts, and by the precedent of iov. Taylor, lie there fore ordered Sullivan to lie released. There was an immense crowd present and the decision of the Judge was greeted with great apphuise. Sullivan was lyaile the herd of the town, and the town was' his. until lie left at S o'clock, for the east. Sullivan nud Johnson went cast via the Louisville and Nashville road to-night. . Coi.i .

The following im (Kiri.int action was taken by the Au gust, i I'xchingc to-day. The anomalous condition of the relation lietween spot and future cotton in New York, we think, demand the attention of South ern Lxchnnges; and to that end we take the lilierty of suggesting the necessity of some remedy. We suggest that the following questions he considered : First, The difference in the value of August lutures ami spot cotton to-day is 70 points, or nearly three-fourths of a cent ier pound. Second, If the future month is worth a premium, lake, for instance, the dill'er etice bctwcii Novemlier and Iieccinlicr on spot cotton, why this discrepancy? The cost of carrying will lie ten to twelve points. Third, The basisof contract of controll ing t raiisnctions w lijch reads, "from strict ordinary to-fair," which means nothing, can lie tendered under strict ordinary, ihcn why fear, as "explained" by New York brokers the "worthless trash" of fered by mcaim of the so-called certifi cates." ' . . Fourth, Reported tear was wired all Sou Jicrn holders of August contracts (if large "tenders" for thul mouth. If spot cotton of the class known as American middling is worth ll!r cents, whv is not an August contrast sold on the basis ol middling of equal value. Fifth, There is no Southern port or in tenor town win re cotton is quoted as low as at New York, August delivery. Whv? Sixth. Ordinary in Liverpool is quoted to-day at Ci 9-1.", which surely is not ljct ur than our strict ordinary, ami the (lit krence in value is three dollars tier bah in lavor ol tlie loruicr. Whv, again, wt ask. this "fear of tenders," when there is a margin of three denials u bale in fa vol of the buyer. Seventh, The statistical position of cot ton wits never so strong since iS(o as now, and vet New York bv hei svstcinot manipulation can keep the future market seventv lmmts under the cost of actual cotton. It is high time that sonic de cisive action lie taken to suppress thi: svsleni now practiced, and we are refldv and willing to eo-ojierale with all South crn exchanges looking to this reform 1 Ins exchange suggests the appointment ol three members Irom each hotly t meet at f '.recnbi icr White Sulphur Springs. Y.i., not later than the loth proximo, for the discussion of this most important subject. SIM1KIIX. 1'.V Washington I'ark Kates. CliiCAtio, July 1 1.

The special says; The McDow verdict and. the incidents connected with it 1ms by no means passed lit of public notice. Ihc resolutions adopted by the ministerial union on Monday last, denouncing the crimes ol idullcry and murder, were directed di rectly at McDnw's peculiar "little in- hscretion, nnd will lie lollowed up on Sunday next by special sermons on the subject. At the meeting in question were the pastors of the Methodist. Ilaplist, rcsbvtenaii. Lutheran, l-.piseopaliun, Huguenot and Congregational churches. The Kev. Dr. Horn, the pastor ol Si. John's LutlieraiH'liiircli.itt which Mellow worships, and where lie received an ovation on the Sunday following his icquiltal, was not at tlie meeting. i It is known that Mrs. Dawson, tlie widow of the murdered editor, apiiealcd to the police authorities for protection yesterday, spiil that a policeman was tntioned on her premises. 1 he lotsol McDow and' Dawson are nearly contigu ous, the one being on Km ledge and the other on Hull street. From the back piazza of McDovv's house he enncon verse with a iierson on the back piazza ol nptain Dawson's house, and during his lisoti with the Swiss maid, McDow could easily scale the back van! Icuce, nil net access to Dawson's lot. It is said that yesterday alteruoon McDow, from his back piazza, attempted to com intinicate with the Swiss maid, whore iortcd the fact to Mrs. Dawson, and it is said that he rccaletl thcattctnpt later in the evening. This led Mrs. Daw son to isk protection. Another slory that is going the rounds is to the ellcct that the McDow uirvincii were seen Ulore the trial, anil that one white juryman, who has been drunk ever since the verdict, was heard to sav in a bairooni on the night the verdict was rendered, that Mr. Mitchell, the assistant counsel loi the State, might have spared himself the trouble of spcukini as the jury had igrecd upon the verdict the day lictorc. It has transpired, too, that McCobb, hois a Maine man .Liul a candidate for the posiofhee, was ail intimate liicnd of McDow 's. Another rumor is to the effect thai the bruise on Mel low's head, which his friend. Dr. Forrest, testified might have liecn uised by Dawson's fi ve ouiiec Malacca cane, was mulcted in anotiicr nuair which occurred, however, on the day ol the murder. The story is that il was re ceived in the house of a ladv patient ol the doctor, and w hile be was engaged in attempting one- ol those little indiscre tions which, he seems, to licconlnlcnt that his friends will overlook. It is said that the affair leaked otit too late lor Uic prosecution to avail itself ot thccvidcncc, but that llie facts and t he names of the parties are now in lite possession ol the solicitor. ittMion oti:m , I OI.KS VOI' KNOW.

The Htrauice Dlmappearance of Hon. A.. H. Jonen at Last Km- plained. Hale and Hound In Norman, Oklahoma. The relatives nnd friends of ex-Con gressman Alexander II. Jones in this city ive licen much wrought up during the ist eight weeks over the sudden and mysterious disappearance of that gcntle- an who left New Smyrna, Florida, on the 2111(1 of April last, and from whom they have heard no tidings until last evening. Mr. Jones left Asheville early in Decem- lier of last year for Jacksonville, being one of the Carrier party bound for the Land of Flowers to spend the winter months. He was in good health and pirits, and before leaving the city had Irawn by check a considerable amount of money on deposit to his credit in the Hunk of Asheville. The party arrived at Jacksonville all right, and after spending few weeks in that city Mr. Jones went to New Smyrna, a small town not far iway from Jacksonville, where he had relatives and friends residing. Here he remained until April 22 last, when he left telling his friends that he was going back to Jacksonville and from thence would return to Asheville. His trunks and effects were all packed ready for the trip, and Mr. ones left New Smyrna in the evening, bound, his friends thought, for Florida's chicfest town, and then on to Asheville. Arriving at Jack sonville, Mr. Jones had a check cashed at one of the banks of the city for a large iniount, and from that moment until last evening no trace could be obtuined is to his whercaliouts. Foul play was suspected by his friends mil every effort was made to ascertain what had become of the ex-Congrcss-uian. Jacksonville was ransacked from one end to the otherjsteamboatand rail- roud ticket ollices were visited in order to find out if the missing man hud pur- liuscd tickets fromtlic'agcnts.ifso, what point such ticket was sold to, and the date it was purchased. Meanwhile the wires had been kept hot, and the mails carried many inquiries to northern, west ern, southern and eastern points, seeking information concerning Mr. Jones. I!ul neither telegram or letter were sent to Oklahoma, the wonderful town ol the West. Friends in Texas were communicated with, but they could tell nothing, and liter eight weeks of unremitting seurcli tnd inxuiry by those most directly juter- estcd iji his welfare, Mr. Jones was given up by them as lost. But how, or when, or where, they knew not, and the mystery surrounding his disappearance remained us dark and unexplainable as ever. Yet they, in all this time, had failed to telegraph or write to Oklahoma. The New York Herald, World Sun, and even Parson Shepherd's Mule in Distress, had announced thestrangecircuinstances itteiiding Mr. Jones' departure, without eliciting from any section or quarter of the glolie, information as to his wherc aliouts, or suggesting even a . clue by which those who longed and waited for his return, might unravel the mystery en veloping his fate. And all this while Mr. Jones was pur-. suing the even tenor of his way in far l Iklahoma. But now the clouds of anxious doubt have passed away, the mystery is at lust explained, nnd Mr. Jones' friends in Ashe ville breathe easier and feel better than . they have since his disappearance wns first made known to them. Thesolution of the problem camd from Mr. Jones him self.last evening, in the shape of a letter to his son, O. M. Jones, lisq., of this city, in which the ex-Congressman says he is right side up with care, resting under the shadow of his own vine and fig tree, planted at Norman, Oklahoma Territory, lie further stated that he hud pur chased 100 acres of Oklahominn soil, a pair of horses and a "dug-ouj.1' What he proposed doing with this outfit lictlid not say, but it is safe to presume that when the crops nre harvested in his far Western home the corn crib will not be empty nor the wheat bin unfilled. And thus another "Strange Disapirnr ance" has licen happily and easily ac counted for by Mr. Joucs' announcement that he was in Oklahoma. Library Catalogue. We have before us a catalogue of the Asheville Library with its new oiening, giving all the books in the Library up to the present date. We advise our friends to secure n copy without delay, as there are only a limited munlicr issued. By this it iipiwars the Library possesses about sixteen hundred volumes of well nesoitcd valuable reading matter, and we arc glad to know that Ashcville jios sesses such a delightful adjunct to ils inniiv nltractiotis.

Ilealli ol Prof. Graven, We learu from the News-Observer of yesterday that this unfortunate gentle man died at 8 o'clock in the evening previous from the self inflicted wounds of a fortnight previous. There has been little hope at any time of his recovery. His remains were taken to Chapel Hill for interment. He was thirty -eight years of ugc, and was elected to the Professor ship of mathematics in 1S75, and filled it with distinguished ability, and with a devotion of labor which impaired his health and unsettled his intellect. He was the only son of Mr. Ralph Graves, long time tutor nt the Pniversity, and to the day of his death, a successful educator. Keiuoval of Trinity lo Haleluh. At a meeting of the trustees of Trinity College, held in Greensboro on the Dth, it was determined after a protracted and heated discussion to remove the institute to Raleigh, the vote being for removal, 1M, agninst, 11, Trinity, with its large denominational endorsement, has never flourished in its secluded location as it merited. It is believed, with strong rea sons, that its removal to Raleigh will give it new and vigorous life. The citi zens of that city hnve proffered and pro vided most lilieral aid to carry the change into effect.
