Another Gross Anti- Rent oulrape.

ALBANY, Sept. ll.-One Of the evening papers
says: "We have been furnished the particulars of
another outrage committed by some disguised per-
in the county of Rensselaer, upon the person
Of Leonard Whitbeck, of the deputies of the
sheriff of that county. Mr.. Whitbeck has been
engaged in serving processes in favor of MIR. Van
Rensselaer, upon come of the tenants in that coun-
ty. On Wednesday last, about one O'Clock in the
morning, band Of persons, numbering about
twenty, disguised as Indians went to the residence
of Mr. Whitbeck. MIR. w was in bed at the time,
but being aroused from his sumbers by the rap
ping of some person desiring admittance, he arose
and, without suepecting any danger, opened his
door. He was Immediately seized by those who
assembled in disguise, and taken to wagon
near by, and carried about nine miles somewhere
east of Sandlake. They then stripped his clothes
of, and deliberately applied a coat of tar and
feathers, and, after OBTAINING him till near morn
ing, left him in that condition to wend his way
home on foot. Previous to leaving him they at
tempted to extort promise from him that he
would serve no more processes. He told them he
should do his duty, let the consequences be what
they may They threatened him with another
visit in case he persisted. His brother anticpat-
ing the intention of the scoundrels, followed in
horse and wagon, and, Notwithstanding the threats
of the Indians, carried Sheriff w back to his resi-
dence.-N. Y Herald.

WILLIAM l.. CHAPLIN.-It will be recoected
that during last autumn the court of Montgomery
county, Maryland, required this individual 10 give
bail, which he did, in the of $4,000, for his
appearance TO answer to the charge of assault and
battery with intent TO kill those who intercepted
him while he was driving away from the District
of Columbia two slaves, the property, soverally,
of the Hon. A. II. Stephens and the Hon. Robert
Toombs. The venue was changed to Howard
district, in that State. At the spring term of the
court the bail declared to be forfeited he not
having made his appearance. The witnesses of
this city, Messrs. Goddard, Butts, Handy, ind
Smithia, are to be present in the Howard district
court to-day, when we presume they will be re-
leased from their recogniEances, Chaplin still being
afar off from Ellicotts Mills and there not being
the least probability of his voluntary return to
that thriving village.

MADAGASCAR.
Chriafiaus Sentenced 10 Death.

In June last eight thousand Christians at Imre-
Ia, being assembled toge ther one evening in dit.
ierent places, engaged in religious exercises
were ali arrested aud condemned TO death Eigh-
teen of them had already been executed, when
all the rest found means Of escape fled to the pal
ace of the prince, and implored his protection
The prince took them under his care. The fact
having come to the knowledge of the Queen, she
ordered her grand marshal and first minister,
Rainharo to convey her orders to the prince, her
son, to surrender all these Christians for execu-
ton. The grand marshal proceeded to intimate
this order TO the prince, who refused to obey it,
declaring that the Christians were under his pro-
lection, and that if any one had the hardwood to
force his palace, with view to their seizure, he
would put him instantly to death.
High words then took place between the prince
and the grand marshal, the latter intimating to
the former that he was acting In open rebellion to
the Queen, his mother The prince becoming
impatient, and having strong motives for resent
ment against the grand marshal, drew his sword
and aimed blow at his head. IL struck him on
one side of the head and cut off one Of his ears.
The generals present came to the rescue Of the
grand marshal, as the prince was about to put
an end TO him. When the queen heard of
what had taken place, she quashed the whole
affair, fearing a revolution at Imirens, for she
knows that all the Ankove youth are partisans of
the prince, and that he is beloved by all the PEG.
pie and the army. The Christians are now ia
safety, and assemble themselves together IN the
evening, the government shutting its eyes upon
everything Rainiharotrembles before the prince.
This young prince, who has completed his 2lst
year, and who has been brought up BY General
Hatsihambe his governor, promises to estab.
lish his throne as it was under the late king Rad
anna, bis father. He has been several times at
the prayer meetings of the Christians and makes
every effort TO comfort them. 1t has become very
difficult to get access to the ports of the Queen
since, in 1915, she drove away all the foreign mer
chants, and put an end to all trade with the
country. We can only hope, therefore, the way
will be opened soon as the prince, her son,
shall ascend the throne after bis mothers death"

AUSTRIA.
UII.caEiuuaouu

IL appears from letter In the Cologne Gazette
that Austria has contracted two loans, one offrom
forty to fifty Millions from Russia, to be paid IN
silver; and the other of one hundred millions, on
State obligations at per cent. In consequence
of these loans, her paper issues are to be dlmln-
ished considerably, and the silver currency in
creased.
The manufacturers in Bohemia and Lower Aus
tria have raised storm of opposition against the
proposed reduced tariff for the Customs Unloni
and the Congress which NJ. Bruck has assembled
in Vienna to discuss the tariff have exhibited
spirit which prOgnosticates failure. Many of the
Deputies are advocates of entire prohibitions very
few indeed are in favor of moderate protective
duties, and all are enemies Of free trade. The
only tariff they will sanction will be protective
one, and that will not answer the political pur-
poses of Austria.
A crisis has taken place in the administration
of the National Bank, Vienna, owing to a demand
by the Government that they should surrender
claim Of 90s000 forins, which had accrued to the
Bank for interest on the State paper money held
by them The directors, to avoid the RESPONSE.
bity Of yielding to this, resigned their appoint
ments, but on the question being submitted to the
Shareholders they were reelected, with autho.
rity to acquiesce in what has been required. Upon
the matter being thus settled, the Bank shares,
which had previously declined, regained in some
degree their former position. The discussion at
the meeting was an agtated one, and somes of the
directors wished for further restrictions the
press so as TO prevent any remarks on the affairs
of the establishment. The statement which was
exhibited showed fresh increase in its inconver-
tibe issues, and very considerable addition to
the Government debt.
The judicial organization Of the Lombardo'Ve-
netian Provinces has received the Emperors
sanction. The intended introduction OF trial by
jury will be postponed. Oral proceedings and
publicity will be confined to the criminal courts
tribunals appeal will be formed at Milan, Vero-
ma, Brescia and Venice. The Court of Cessation
for the Italian Provinces will, hear form an in
tegra part Of the Supreme Court OF Justice estab-
lished in this city.

A Rf0f.

The government of Berne having lately deter
mined 10 take measures respecting the political
refugees called a few days ago on q Prussan jew
named Basswitz, who had been established at
ST. Imier since 1887, to produce certificate OF
his origin and other papers but he was not able
10 do SO, and orders were given to him to leave
the canton. During many years he had made
himself very popular among the poor, by giving
them medical advice and assistance gratuitously,
he being physician. In political opinion he is a
great radical, and has not only already labored to
spread his opinions in Switzerland, bat has been
in constant communication with the chiefs OF the
party in different countries. On receiving the or
der TO leave, he attempted TO induce the authori-
ties of Neufchatel or Soleure to grant him the
rights Of citizenship, but they refused.
The inhabitants petitoned the Grand Council
against his removal; the Council, however, de-
chned TO interfere. The inhabitants thereupOn
made seditious movements and threatened resis.
lance. They planted two trees of liberty but they
were taken down by the authorities, and they be.
gan casting bullets. 1t is said also that some
cesps francs have been called to their assistance.
In consequence of all this the authorities of Berne
have collected some detachments of Infantry,
Cavalry and Artillery, and are prepared TO march
them at once TO ST. lmier, in case Of need A Com
missioner of the Government has already been
sent to that place The French Ambassador has
signed passport to enable b asswitz to proceed
