The Paris correspondent of the London Star writing
of the suppression of foreign papers at the Paris Post
Office, says
"The increase of vigilance and zeal is owing to the
occurrence which has just taken place at Aessandrla,
and which it is most urgent to keep secret. Two
priests both Italian belonging to Tortone, have been
arrested and shot, having been detected IN conspiracy
the life Of the Emperor The news cannot be doubt
3D. although the incident itself proves nothing, save
the dread which has seized upon all true Catholics con-
corning the intention of Louis Napoleon to destroy the
temporal power of the Pope, which has evidently been
turned to account to work upon fanatic ignorance and
has been made use of to political influence"
We find the above paragraph going the rounds of our
exchanges. We are inclined to think it entitled to
about much credit the majority of newspaper spec
ulations and onesded representations of facts
Louis Napoleon, in 1881, joined the Carbonarl,
(charcoaburners secret society, having its ramica-
lions all through Italy, its protested object being the
achievement of Italian liberty and repubcanism He
took the oaths of this society," of which binds him
to die for repubcanism if so required by the society,"
Whether he was sincere in taking these oaths may well
be doubted. We do not think he was. However, he
took part in an italian rising about that time which
was unsuccessful The Carbonar proved too weak, and
therefore he abandoned them useless tools. He made
his escape to England, still sworn Carbonaro and is
brother Carbonari can release him. His first essay
member Of that association for the overthrow OF the
papal authority Almost his first exercise of authority
as President of France was to send army to Rome
to rcinstatc the Pope and crush the republicans there
as he was about to do himself in France. The Carbon
ari have not released him from his oath, and follow
him with the penalty Of death for its violation,
hence the attempt made upon his life by Italians, and
the attempts which are continued to be made. Hence
this last attempt said to be made by two priests. Louis
Napoleon knows better; we suppose, and so do most
people who look at the matter Alright.
Apart from Louis Napoeon's ambition, which no one
will question: and his hatred to Austria, for which he
has the best grounds we think that desire to appease
the vengeance and proptiate the favor of his sworn
brethren of the Carbonar has something to do with his
loud professions and open intervention in Italy.
His pronunciamento, issued on his landing at Bologne
in 1910 l84 shows the style of professions he used
to indulge n and leave little doubt to the impera
schemer's character for truth.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June l7th.-The ordering of a more
efficient naval force to the African coast was not in
consequence of any late complaint by the British govern
ment. 1t long ago contemplated, but until recently
there vessels which could be used for that pur
pose So far our government is aware, orders
have been issued since 1912 by the British in
tion with the treaty STIMULATING for the suppression
the slave trade on the coast of Africa.
There is nothing in recently received letters to dsn-
guished gentlemen in Washington which afford any
ground for the belief that England will become involved
with the present war in Europe.
It is understood that the cabinet to-day finally acted on
the document they have several weeks had under consd
Grafton expressive of the views Of the administration
the subject of neutral rights. 1t will probably be trans
mitted to Mr.. Dallas by the next steamer

This morning between and O'Clock, the dead body
of white man, apparently about fortyve years of age
middleszed and roughly dressed in working clothes, was
found in sitting posture, his back eant up against
tree on the side of the Little Bridge Road about quar-
ter of a mile from the Upper Railroad Bridge. The
only mark of violence which was noticed deep in
dentaton on the right side of his head, two or three
inches above the temple where the head is crushed in
and the brain protruded. His head was leant to the
left.
There were steps going to the tree and returning but
no evidence of any struggle in the neghborhood There
appears to be very little doubt that whoever killed him
carried the body and placed in the position in which
it lay Up to the time when reporter left the place
no person had recognized the murdered man. The spot
where the body was found must be about the extreme
verge of the corporate limits i'll that direction.

that the deceased came to his death from violent blow

This murder of poor Wilson is horrible thing, done

proprety of capital punishment applied to the das
tardy murderer murderers.
There would appear at times to be a sort q eonious
epidemic, a contagion Of crime. AS for attempts at
housebreaking and other things OF that kind
count for their sudden appearance by remembering that
professional thieves and burglars generally so gangs
and while in place keep it in constant alarm aud then
leave it comparatively safe until visited by other

But even murders and other crimes by violence in the
country, outside of the Individually criminal classes

There is even mysterious sympathy or contagion III

There would appear to be sort of horrible fashion in

Just about now there would appear to be some Or
