EXAMINATION OF THE BoDY OF CAPTAIN MORAN
TEs.-The U. S. Revenue Gutter John Appleton,
Lieut.. Com. VIM. b. Randolph, arrived on the
night of the 2lst inst, from the wreck of the
schooner Enterprise, ashore high and dry on the
beach, forty miles north of Cape Florida light
house.
In our issue of the 2d inst, we gave an account
of the running ashore of this vessel and the murder
of her captain, B. A. Morantes, bv a part of the
crew, which one of them, a Frenchman bv birth
described before the United States Commissioner;
and ON the 9th we stated that Lieut.. Randolf and
Deputy Marshal +. Filler, with the Frencbman had
started for the of the murder for the
of examining the body OF Capt. Morantcs &c. and
we now announce their return after having accom-
plished the object of the mission.
Lieut.. Randolph informs us that the witness fnUv
sustained the evidence he gave before the coInnis
sloner by going directly to the graves The sea
mans (Joe) was in the usual form, with head and
foot-boards; the Captains was leveled and smooth
ed over ana covered with grass-sod. On opening it
the body was found in perfect nude state the face
about twenty inches below the surface. and the
knees SIX or eight. The body had been evidently
forced into hole much too short for it, as it was
contracted and distorted. The body was recognized
as that OF Is. A. Morantes, by both Mr.. Filler and
lIleRt Randolf, to whom he was well known. They
found behind the lower part of the right ear cash
Whlch mad been made apparently with knife, eX-
tending to the collar bone, and about three inches
deep, skull not broken, but the head had the ap-
pearance, from the blood-shot condition OF the
veins to have received some hard blows. One up
per tooth on the right side of the mouth gone The
lower part of the body, which was placed upper
most in the grave was so muen uecolhp0seG that no
traces of violence could be distinguished on the
same. ~
Lieut.. Randolf and Deputy Marshal Filler rein
TERED the body, giving it the rites of Masonic
burial.
Lieut.. r.. on his way to the wreck at Coles
place, near Fort Lauderdale, fell in with Tiger
Tails son and another Indian, who showed every
disposition of frendliness; and at another point
with four other indians, who also appeared perfect
ly friendly, but averse to ''talk," answering only
by the usual Indian grunt and shrug.

1t is stated that Conference at Zurich will as
semble in the of ten davs 1t will be attend
ed bv the representatives of France, Austria and
Sardinia, who will there draw up and sign definite
treaty of peace between the three powers. This
task is the urgent, if it be true, as is positive
ly affirmed, that the King of Sardinia, althoug he
signed the armistice, has not signed the prelimina
ries Of peace concluded by the two Emperors at
Villa Franco. We may believe lie Nord which,
in this respect. certainly, represents the wishes
of the French Government. "The Conference at
Zurich will be followed by an European Congress,
which will thoroughly examine the Italian ques-
tion and discuss the basis of the proposed Italian
confederation" This assertion agrees with other
reports current in Paris, where it now seems to be
thought that any reluctance on the part of the
English or Prussian government has been or will be
overcome, and an European Congress will certainly
consider the Italian question. .-
Inc London Times, of the 23d, has the following:
FIENNA--Friday evening.-In the course of next
week the representatives of Austria and France will
meet at Zurich. Austria and France will then con-
ciude treaty Of peace, and Sardinia If she pleases

The ROGUE WHO JUMPED FROM THE RAILROAD
TRAN.-A few days ago we stated that man
named Baldwin, travelling with sheriff upon a
railroad in New York, jumped from the train when
it was going at full speed, and escaped He has
since been captured. 1t appears that his head was
much bruised by the fall and that physician
dressed the wounds, being told by the man that
they were caused by a fall from his horse. Bald
win then hired bimselftoa farmer within 20 miles
of the place where he left the cars, aad was en-
gagged in hoeing potatoes when he was retaken.
