river country, the most productive region IN
the south. The freedmen's settlement
known as De Soto. has been overlooked by
it. and eighty freedmen are known to have
persisted in the ws'er, despite all attempts TO
save them from their helpless fate.

Additional news is received from
Hayti The revolutionary movement was
made by Victor Ohevalia, some time In exile,
who landed secretly al st. Marco. General
Saget was elected President, but declined.
and until the election of another President,
the government will be administered by the
principal Secretary of State. Gen. Sulnave
had returned to Hayti, and taken command
OF the northern department. All was quiet.
The revolution was peaceful. Political move
ments, severe discomfort, and the embarrass-
ed state of the treasury are the causes.
A heavy swindIe was discovered in
the Touring mills OF Judd & Bracket, in
| Minneapolis, Mimi, on the 9th. There hav-
ing been previously suspicious of foul play
going on, a detective was employed to watch
/ the mill during last night, who discovered
| -four and feed being carried away in wagons.
The latter were followed to st. Anthony,
win re they were unlOaded at storehouse. =
| Upon examination, labcut 81 900 worth of
/ flour was found stored there. John Young,
in charge OF the mill at night, was arrested,
who appears TO have been at the head of the
scheme. He exposed several of his confed-
crates, and also the whole plot, which had
/ been IN operation over a year. They dis
posed OF their plumber by opening a feed
store at st. Paul and another at St. Anthony.
1t is estimated that about $40, coo worth has
been taken from the mill, only that found in
st. Anthony being yet recovered.
