Attempted Murder.

Rev. Clement Frachon, Roman Catholic
Priest at St. Thomas, Ca, was stabbed on
the night OF FRIDAY the 18th. 4 previous at
tempt ON the life Of the same gentleman, was
made on the night of the LIST inst. when he
was seized near his house and attempted 10
be strangled, On the nights Of the LIST, and
I'd, and the 4tt Of this month, the windows
of the house in which he dwells were broken
by stones, and On some OF the congregation
keeping watch to protect the lite and pro-
perty Of their pastor. a gun was fired at them
on the night of the 2d inst. II is not deemed
advisable To leave the Priest unattended by
a body-guard day or night. Such a state ut
things is the more unacc"untable when ""
mention that the Rev. Clement Frach"n. u
Frenchman, is a gentleman Of mild and con-
c~iliatory department. and 40 far as we can
learn, ofunblemished character. The unlrer-
sal sentiment is IL of the highest respect
towards him. One conclusion at which some
persons arrive is, that the Rev. gentleman Is
the object Of attack in consequence OF hs
union with other ministers aud influential lay
men of ST. Thomas. IL put down the saloons.
We understand he has worked with consId-
cradle zeal 10 suppress the liquor traffic, and
it is lust possible that an enini,y mlglt"n thus
account, have arisen-London tCd.) fite

MAJOR II. w. Thomas.

We say empha;ically. that 50 far from
Mai. Thomas showing much zeal in behalf
of q Convention to nominate a candidate, tie
reverse is absolutely true. We We're pre-
sent at the incipient meeting IN Richmond,
which issued the call, and We distinctly re-
member that Mai. Thomas was one OF the
very few who opposed the cal! iora CoI'vcii-
ton.
As to another charge, that Maj. I. pledged
himself against interference, MIR. Shack
elford has distinctly exonerated Maj. /;
from ever having made any such pledge, and
it was to him that the reputed pledge was
made.
Last fall, after Mr.. Shackelford had an
nounced himself IA candidate, he visited
Fairfax c. H., and met with MAJOR Thomas.
In the course Of conversation the question
arose as to whether the Wings or OPPOSE
ton meant to run a candidate. Maj. L. eX-
pressed himself very frankly to the effect
that he did not expect they would, and fur
Their. that in consequence of the personal re-
lations between DEMONSTRATING served in the
State Senate together-he Maj. 1. would
vote for Mr.. Shackleford. rs between HIM
and Ex-Gov. Smith.
Afterwards Mai. Thomas mentioned his
conversation with Shackleford to Governor
Smith, and that gentleman has seen proper
on more than one occasion, not only to re-
peat what he gathered int private and friend.
iy meeting, but much more than he heard, If
Mai. Thomas is worthy of credence, for he
has denied this very thing Of pledging him
self. on more than one occasion in his pub
lie speeches. Gov. 5. may he excused Tor
the extent OF his statement; on the hustlngs

Railroad Troubles.

MOB TEARING Up THE RAIIs.-A cores
poudent of the ST. Louis Republican, writ
ing from Shipman, ILL.,, under date of the
18th, relates the occurrence OF a violent out
break among some laborers, who had been
unable TO get their pay for work done on,
and material furnished for the Illinois rail
road in that vicinity. Some Of their claims
were Of more than three years Standing
They had learned that the road was about
To- be transferred to other owners. and the
resolved 70 force payment before il was To-"
late. The trains were stopped t""nty-l""r
hours by taking up the rails. The United
States marshal had 70 interfere 10 prevent
the mails being delayed. He was compelled
to keep the mob at bay with hi pistols, while
he started the train. The stockholders. it
appears, have sunk their capital in building
the road. and the lahorers have 10 suffer. be-
cause they took promises for their pay. IN
