THE ‘ VXRAESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST t 9, 1884.

found their progress arrested. t Indeed, VII
is the only fortified plarej tabu during tl
_ _

and that was done only after it wee invested.
Turning to Virginia, it appears that the re-
sources of that most determined officer, General
Glue; are not yet exhausted. His army had in
fact been divided into two forces. Four corps at
least had been transferred to the Upper Potomac,
to operate in the Shenandoah Valley against
General Esaxy. On the 11th, EARLY evacu-
ated Winchester, which is some thirty-five miles
.oath-west of Harper's Ferry, and retired to-
wards Straaburg. He was followed by SHERIDAN.
Since then, however, it seems that EARLY has been
reinforced, and that he has again advanced, whilst
SHERIDAN is said to have retreated again to
Winchester. It would seem, therefore, that neither
aide is anxious to bring on a general engagement
unless the attack can be made with a manifest
superiority of numbers. It is said that EARLY has
been strongly reinforced by General LEE, and that
he meditates an invasion of Maryland in great
force. This perhaps may serve to account not
only for the retreat of SHERIDAN, but for the re-
gumption of activity on the part of General
Gsayr. So long as that officer remained quietly in
his lines in front of Petersburg, he left General
Lea free to use his army in the Shenandoah Valley.
But General GRANT is not the man to remain
long inactive. As soon, therefore, as he found that
General LEE had detached a considerable force
northward, he sent two corps across the James
River, attacked the Confederates who lay on
the eastern aide of that river, and defeated
them with the loss of 500 men and 7 guns. He
is now said to occupy a position within six miles of
Richmond. It is to be observed that the lines to
be held by the Confederates are very
extensive. They extend from Petersburg, some
twenty miles south of Richmond, to a point on the
north bank of the James River about six miles
south of that city, and nearly opposite Fort Dar-
ling. Now General GRANT holds both sides
of the James River. He is therefore
in a position to fall upon any part
of the Confederate lines where the defenders may
for the moment be few in number, and he may thus
succeed in carrying the point before reinforce-
ments can be brought up. In this respect, there-
fore, GRANT, by his command of the James River,
may be said to be acting on interior lines. It re-
mains to be seen whether GRANT will succeed in
forcing himself between Richmond and Petersburg,
but at all events it appears that he is de-
termined to harass his adversary by attacks first
upon one and then upon the other side of the
James River, so as to render it difficult, if not im-
possible, for General Les to detach the bulk of his
army either to reinforce EARLY in the Shenandoah
I Valley or to reinforce HOOD at Atlanta.

down Jacques Latour cried ironically " Vise l'Em-
pereur !"
Master Joffrhs, charged with Latour's defence,
of course gave a very different account of his
client, and in many instances he sucoeeded in excul-
pating him. He showed Latour a hard-working
man, gaining in a few years 3,000 fr., and first get-
ting into trouble for defending his brother. Latour
had never had the chance of spending this money,
and hence the sum found in his possession when he
was arrested. Had be been the chief instigator of
the crime at Labastide he would surely have been
entitled to more than 1,700 fr. out of the large sum
stolen, and 1,700 fr. was the amount he had when
caught. That Latour sought to hide himself from
justice was only natural when he knew that jus-
tice was pursuing him for other matters. The
crime was committed at 11 one night, and the next
morning, after having partaken of the fruits of
the murder, Latour was at Mauran, 33 kilometres
from Labastide. There was no blood on his
clothes ; the prosecution says he changed them,
but there is no one to prove this. The comb
and the pencil which were found might easily have
belonged to M. de Lasalle—the one was broken,
the other cheap, and both accorded with his miserly
habits, and everything else in the chateau.
Latour is accused of stealing a necklace, and yet
the person robbed cannot say if the necklace which
was found with the prisoner is the one which she
last. Latour is accused of robbing GO francs, and
when it is asked if he was condemned, the reply is
that proceedings were stopped on amount of poli-
tical events. The Procureur-Glitmiral had told the
jury that shreds of flax united at length formed •
cable, but Master Joffres would answer in his turn
that they might heap up as many zeros as they
liked, and they would never form a quantity.
The pleading of a promising young barrister, so
we learn by telegraph, was of no avail—Latour has
been found guilty, and sentenced to death.
Audouy has been also declared guilty, but with ex-
tenuating circumstanoes, and sentenced to hard
labour for life. Latour still protests his inno-
cence, and when sentenced again cried " Vive
l'Empereur !" The finding by the jury has
given some surprise, for the evidence was most
meagre, and there is considerable doubt here at all
events with regard to the guilt of Hercules,
although there was some very nasty evidence ad-
duced against him. He was defended in a clever
manner by Master Laborde, and it was remarked
that when he had termin►ted Latour leaned
towards him and complimented him. Seldom per-
haps has a man been condemned to death on such
slight circumstantial evidence ; there was hardly a
single complete link in the whole chain. It was
not without reason that the Procureur•Giindral ap-
, pealed to the jury to make a display of courage ;
they have done so, one or both men may be guilty,
but sufficient proof was wanting for a conviction,
and for each action a very plausible reason was
given.

MEETING OF DELEGATES FROM SLESWIG-
HOLSTEIN TOWNS.

A meeting of delegates from Slesvrig-Holstein
towns, which took place at Neumunater on the
24th, unanimously passed the following resolution :

The clergy and gentry of the province having made •
declaration relative to the national interests, the delegates
from Slanwig-Holstein towns, io default of a National As-
sembly defending the rights of the Sleswig-Holstein people,
in their turn feel the necessity of setting forth their opinion.
We join unreservedly in the thanks expressed to the
valiant German troops whose victorious arms have secured
the complete separation of Sleawig-Holstein from Denmark,
and we recognise according to our thorough conviction, the
necessity of an alliance of the united Duchies with Germany,
upon condition that this alliance shall be formed without
prejudice to the autonomy of the Duchies, and further, so
far as the interests of Germany require, the necessity of
an alliance with Prussia.

On the other hand. we cannot in any way consider the
installation of an interim goyernmeet a fit means for at-
taining the desired end. We fear rather lest such an ar
rangement should uselessly retard and compromise the
unanimously desired regulations of the bane and foreign
relations of the country.
. . .

The re-establishreen‘of a normal order of things is in our
opinion subordinate to the immediate recognition of the
Prince long since accepted by the country—Duke Fre-
derick VIIL

Out of 51 cities and towns of Sleswig-Holstein,
including the western islands, 41 were represented
by delegates. Two Holstein townsand one Sleswig
town telegraphed their adhesicn to the resolution
given above.

A correspondent of the Delhi Chuette, writing
from Azimgurb, says that the ether day two Brahmins
threatened a respectable Rajpoot &Wader that if he did
sot come down handsomely on the occosioe of a marriage,
they would throw themselves bite a well. A few years
ago each a terrific threat would have had the desired effect,
but now•adye it falls light indeed. The Zemindar not
only declined being •' equeesed," but in turn threatened
the twice-born with a prosecution ; the Brahmins hump=
decamped.

A French sculptor, M. Lelxeuf, has just com-
pleted the bust of Victor Hugo. The Minister of the
Interior has decided that it may be *old without willing
the safety of the state, "provided it be not exposed in
any position where the public might see it from the outside
of the shop." Photographs of Victor Hugo may be seen in
every window, but it seems that his features in plaster
would be dangerous.

The Times publishes a letter describing the
recent misfortunes of Mr. Goodman, an English gentleman
in Cuba. He and • fellow artist. who was related to
some of the inhabitants of Santiago de Cuba, an important
town on the south coast of the Wand, went to visit •
I fortified castle in the neighbourhood of the town, celled
the Morro. On their arrival near ibis castle they met a
body of soldiers, who allowed them to peas on, and they
eajoyed the picturesque weoery for two hours. On their
way home, however, they were stopped by the soldiers,
brought back to the castle, and put into • dungeon, thence
the next day taken to Santiago, and there, after • few hours'
detention in prison, examined and dismissed. Their lib.-
ration seems to have been obtained in greet immure by the
interfemooe of the consul. Through him au appeal is reads
to the Foreign-office, and her Majesty's government b ex-
ploded "at least to demand an explanation and apology from
the Spanish authorities for this disgraceful outrage on the
pima el one of the Qaseal =Nab."

trespass and poaching. The offence wu said to have been
committed on Sunday evening, the 24th of July, on land
belonging to Mr. Stephen Lewis. Witnesses for the pro-
seention proved that the rev. defendant and some
other palaces were stopped in a field in the tenancy of
Mr. Lewis by the gamekeeper of that gentleman. While
they were talking, a dog belonging to the defendant came
up with a partridge in its month. Mr. Dews explained
that be was in the field simply because a footpath near by
had been obstructed, and he assured the bench that he had
done his best to ;strut the dogs from running alter
game. The beach accepted the explanation, and dismissed
the summons.

rector of %Maintop, Surrey. He entered hi 90th year en
the 90th of July last in fall poemenion of his mental powers,
which were of nu common order, and of that brilliant
ebeerfuleem of dispositioa and beauty of character which
distinguished him in daily life from his cradle to hi death-
bed. He was almost the last of that company of smart
men who, in the close of the last century and in the cos-
meucement of the present, when the clergy of the church
of England were, for the most pert, more occupied with the
pleasures of the field than with the cure of math, were the
means of renewing its life and energy. Daring the 08
years which have elapsed since his ordination Dr. Marsh
performed the duties of hie sacred calling with a seal, de-
votedness, and love which won for him the reverent strew
tion of all who knew him. On the hat day of hie life he
closed his ministry with the tollowrag testimony, written
with trembling howl, when no logger able to speak :—"Tell
the clergy to preach Christ, to live Chrit, to eerie Christ,
awl they will joy sad praise in eserni. —Timm.

This morning, between the hours of 1 and
o'clock, a murder was committed in Croce-street, Hattoc.

• woman of prepossessing appearance, residing at the sere
address.

It appears that this morning, between the hums G-

death bad been caused from the combined effect of kick,

It would appear that yesterday some friends of lett
parties called tomes them and spent the day with them. Ic
the evening they all partook of a little drink, but note ~f
them got intoxicated. Shortly before the departure of tLe
last train on the Metropolitan Railway the deceased athl Lk,
husband went to see their friends off. Before they Flak:.
one of the men kissed the deceased. This seemed very
much to annoy and exasperate the prisoner, who
and threatened her in a most dreadful moor-r,
and it is stated that whilst standing in the Fsr.
ringdonsroad he struck his wife in the

afraid the prisoner would injure her, asked if she ri.i4L:
sleep with the lodger until morning, when she thought Ler
husband's wrath would be appeased. Her with was C 0,..
plied with, and both women retired to rest. As lrefo%
stated, the husband returned borne shortly after 1 o'clo,s,
and finding that his wife wee not in his room, he culled
her. He then went into the lodger's room, and findine Lis
wife in bed, swore at her, and pulled her out with great r:
knee. The prisoner then knocked and kicked herseversl
in the stomach, and although the lodger, a female of tLI
name of Collins, did all she could to prevent him, he wai
too strong for her, and breaking away from her koa::- 1

who had previously called " murder !" said to her husbatel,
" lon have now given me my death blow," rolled over,
and fell inmensible. She never spoke more, and the pri
Boner, who then appeared very sorry, went out and
fetched a surgeon. When he returned he was taken into
custody. At that time the prisoner appeared uif he LI
been drinking a little, but not to such an extent but t!
he knew what he was about.

Inspector Potter, of the 0 division, has now taken cbuz.,
of the body and room, and as there is a large mob

THE TRAGEDY IN MILE-END NEW TOWN.

ADDITIONAL PAYTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.)

The unhappy imbecile, James 13eckingham, wh,
was found crouching on the floor at the time the stalk;
dieuvery of the two dead bodies was made, is sited to be
gradually sinking. He is under the care of two medics!
men, sad hie life is only prolonged by stimulanta.
When the possum who die:crewed the deceased women
the front room on Friday night went into the adjoining
apartment, they saw Rockingham lying on the floor and
trembling. When he perceived them he crawled at nun
underneath the bed obviously to swaps. He was in • state
of extreme terror, and was noticed to be considerably pals
and more cadaverous-looking than the corpse of his wife,
which lay within • couple of yards of him. The peop!e
who were present immediately proceeded to get
him from under the bed, but this we. found to
be • task of no little difficulty,. as be struggled
with all his strength, and appeared to be in • state of
desperation. He wee, however, got out sad dressed, for he
was clad only in his shirt. Although there is no reason to
doubt the accuracy of his statement to those that found
him that be had not eaten food for three days, nearly
whole loaf leg bread was fouled in another ream on the sun
floor. The bread was hard, and had not been cut for et
least two day.. _ . .

The cops; jugs, and other vessels found in the cottage
ham been carefully examined for the dregs of poises. AL
of them were found to be covered with deist, and nothing
suspicioua wan discovered.
The occurrenos is made more inexplicable by the fact the'
Mrs. Mary Axe Gribbin, the wows who is supposed to hare
died first, did not live in the cottage—she wm only oo s
visit to her sister at the time at bee death. She was the
widow of a musician, sod she resided in lodgings is
Amadei-street, Bethsal-gruso.
The belief is general in the locality that the two deceased
came to their deaths by poke°, and that the catettrof he
was owing to some family quarrel&
