81 ~. Baron Rotchschild.
An English biographical sketch of the English
Rotchschild says of him
| The Old and the New World alike bore witness to
his skill and with the profits off single loan he pur-
chased an estate which cost G1500OO. Minor CAPT.
talists like parasitica plants clung to him. and were
always ready to advance their money in specuatons
at his bidding Nothing seemed too gigantic for his
grasp; nothing too minute for his notice. His mind
was as capable of calculating loan for millions as
of calculating hS4owest possible amount on which
clerk could exist. Like too many great merchants
whose profits counted by thousands he paid his
assistants the smallest amount for which he could
procure them, He became the high priest of the
temple Of Janus, and the coupons raised by the capt.
talist for a despotic state were more than match
for the cannon of the reyolutionists.

really earned farhng in his life never produced
one cent, OF one cents worth He made his money
by specializing in the blood of nations7-by arming
the hand Of despotism against the struggles of free
dom, and forging shackles with which to bind pos
terity by anticipating the produce of its evil Did
nation as Hungary-dare to throw off the yoke Of
oppression, that yoke REINFORCED through the
influence of the money changers, and the price Of
their own thraldom sadded as a fresh burden up
the yanquished. The Rotchschilds have for years
been the vampire of nations, and the they and
their system swept away the better for humanity
/ THE REY CAsE-The Grand Jury at New Orleans,
after hearing REYs and MoRANTEs testimony have
refused to find true bill against the Spanish Con-
sui at that city, for the alleged abduction of REY.
The Consul has been discharged from custody. So
that bubble has burst.

TRANSFERRED SO many developments have already been
made that difference of opinion to exist in
regard to the guilt of WEBSTER least beyond the
circle of his immediate friends. Every new cireum-
stance brought to light, to stamp the affair
with additional characters of darkness and premedi-
