At length the war in Italy has actually coT-
menced, aud the impatience of a world of spec
tators will be somewhat appeased. The first
battle has been fought, and resulted in the death
Of some 1000 Austrians and 600 or 700 French
and Sandman, who are reported killed, by the
French accounts, and the victory is claimed by
the latter, the Austrians retreatiOg to their own
side Of the river Po. The action took place at
Montebelo on the 2Ist May, where battle
was fought between the Austrians and French
in 1912, and where one of Napoleon's generals
obtained the victory ever the Austrians The
present engagement was commenced by the
Austrians, who were driven back, after a fierce
combat Of four hours duration. The allies car
ried Montebello, but did not pursue the Aus
trans Some Of the Piedmontese cavalry were
in the engagement Two hundred Austrians,
including colonel, were taken prisoners and
sent to Marseilles. The wounded of the allies
were taken to Alessandria. 1t is lucky spot
for the French.

Office of Register of a one-horse Land Office

Thiss spring he started for bspost on the first boat

ice, he arrived at Buchanan at last and found his
out and-out Democratic official head had been
transferred by the President he worshipped, to

The BODY OF AN ACTRESS Fanny Dean Hal

or two since near Fort Hamilton. She had
been detected in writing a letter to paramour
living at Brooklyn, by her husband which led
to some alteration, which was partially settled
for the time, but the wife left home on the pre-
text of making purchase, and the husband,
avowedly went in pursuit of her. Nothing
more was seen of her until the body was found.
Halsey, the husband has been arrested on sus.

the body, and one of the eyes was displaced

Judge CHURCH, of Massillon, Mahoning county
denouncing the law DISTINGUISHING every citizen
suspected, or "reputed" of having an admixture OF
colored blood in bis veins, as gross violation
Of constitutional rights, and iustructing the
Grand jury not to recognize it in their present
ments. These proceedings look to a general
disregard of the disgraceful statute and we
shall stand prepared for more homilies upon
the Importance of submission to law. The
glowing waywardness of the times is causing q
great deal of anxiety trouble to the especial
friends of law and order, and the thing seems
to be growing no better all the time.

In no case have the efforts to enforce the
laws against the slave trade been successful in
the South. So far these laws are even more
successfully defed 10 the South than the fugi-
tive slave law in the North. Within the last
two months there have been as many as half
a dozen trials 10 slave states Of persons guilty
Of importing Africans or purchasing them after
their importation, both in direct violation Of
the law but either by open acquittals, disa-
greements of the jury, or the leniency of gov
ernment officials aud judges,-a acting under
the influence Of public opinion,-every one has
escaped conviction and is now free in the ne
farious business. On the contrary, the only re-
cent prominent case under the fugitive slave
law in the North, that Of the Oberlin people, at
Cleveland, has resulted in the complete vindi-
cation Of the law and federal authority. Ju
ries have been found to convict, the state court
has refused to interfere, and the people have SO
far acquieseed. The contrast is favorable ia
one respect for the people of the North. as
showing the greater force Of law, as law, ovel
their minds Bot when we consider that the
notification at the South is purely selfish, aud
for the sake of gain, and the acquiescence oil
the North is at the expense Of justice, humani
~, conscience and right we hardly know which
is the more saddening or discreditabIe. 1t il
not pleasant or promising picture to look up
ou-this Simultaneous success of negro-catch
ing at the North and slave importing at th
South yet it is what the Republic paints 70
us now. Reports from the African coast a
from all parts of the South, give full evidenc
that the slave trade with the Uuitcd States d
