Another Outrage upon The Same
Spot Mr.. John 0'Connsr, the gentle
mau who was slung- shotted and thrown
into The bayou, after being robbed by
negro ruffians, on Friday night, after
lingering in great pain, died last evening
from the effects Of the wounds received
at the hands Of bis assassins. An inquest
was held on his body by Coroner Samel.
son, this morning, and verdict rendered
to the effect that be came to his death
from fracture Of the skull, inflicted with
a slung-,hot in the hands Of negroes un-
known TO the jury.
Immediately following upon the heels
Of this outrage, and almost upon the
very spot, another and very similar
attempt at robbery aud assassination
WAS perpetrated Saturday night In this
instance, Mr.. 7. b. Folger, we'll known
and highly esteemed citizen, was destiaed
to be the victim. The particulars are
thus narrated by a morning cotempo-
rary; Between eight and nine o'clock,
as Mr.. Folger was returning to his
residence, at the corner OF Vance and
Lauderdsle streets, after visiting at
friends house, and while passing
along Linden street, he observed that
two men we're following him. He did
not suspect that they had any wrong
intention upon him, as they seemed to
be walking along whistling in a careless
manner. When he reached the corner of
Wellington street they acted as If they in
tended to pass him, and he stood on one
side to allow them to do SO. Instead,
however, of walking past, one of the men
pulled a slung-shot out of bis pocket and
struck Mr. Folger heavy blow over the
head with it, telling him to the ground
and rendering him perfectly uncon-
scious. As he lay PROSTATE on the
ground, they riaed bis pockets, and ind
ing no money, they carried off his peck
et.book, containing some valuable mem
orapda of no use to any one but the
owner.
AFTER lying on the ground for some
time, Mr.. Folger recovered his conscious
ness, and was able to walk slowly toward
his residence, which he reached in very
weak condition, owing to the brutal
treatment he had received"

Admiral Farragut, Italy and the
United States.

For number of weeks Admiral
farragut has been lionized in the va
frious cities of Italy. Beginning
with Naples, he has had public hon
ors in that city, in Florence, the cap
itol, in Venice, and finally in Genoa,
the birthplace of Columbus. He
will probably receive like honors in
Milan and Turin Admiral Farra-
gut, as commander of the Medite-
ranean Squadron, is merely availing
himself of his opportunity to visit
the renowned places of Italy, and
the Italians are merely expressing.
through him, their admiration of
/ the great Republic which he repre-
sents. All this is perfectly natural,
and the explanation is found entirely
in this. The European Powers.
however, are accustomed to see in
such demonstrations some secret di-
I.plomacy, something that promises
an az Z ed alliance between the two
powers. Such a thing as open deal
ing is unknown on the Continent.
/ Diplomacy is smooth, oily, but also
cunning and doubtful. We are not
surprised, therefore, that many peo-
pie IN Europe should attach mys-
terious significance to it all.
While Admiral Farragut is receiv-
ing these honors, however, it is not
sufficient that as Americans we
should feel grateful There is be-
tween italy and the United States a
strong natural sympathy: Although
Victor Emmanuel is King Of Italy,
it is well understood that the Dem
ocratic sentiments much the strong
er. The leading spirits of the eouns
try are IN very active sympathy with
the democratic spirit Of America.
! Italy, though a monarchy, is lin
tied one. The freedom which the
people and press enjoy is in striking
contrast with that of the Empire of
France. italy is struggling, heroic
ally, to strengthen and cement the
different parts of the new kingdom.
Therezare financial and religious OBJ
stacles in the way, such as are un-
known in this country; but. if let
alone,~1taly@Will soon stand in the
front ranks of freedom and
progress on the Continent of Europe.
With a population Of twenty-five
millions, with q range Of climate
stretching through eight degrees Of
latitude, with great mineral and ag-
ricultural resources, and with pow
erful democratic and anti Catholic
spirit daily gaining strength, Italy
will eyentuallyrassume a-ghigh posi-
tio1 as the natural lailysand friend of
America. t@ flSk+' stA@ @S = s'A
That Admiral Farragut should be
feted in Naples and Florence, in Ven
ice and Genoa, is therefore natural
cause Of qualification to the Ameri-
can people Although our military
power. and prospective strength is a
source of wholesome fear in Europe,
it is, after all, our moral example
that is to interfere most powerfully
in the affairs of the old world. The
example of a successful and power
ful republic issmore potent than az ar
mics and iron clads in battering
down the king craft and priest-craft
Of the old world. Every honor
shown to the old Admiral is but q
new nail in the coffin in which ulti-
mately the kingdoms and empires of
Europe are to be buried.-Clecezand
Hercld. +-.-T rcr
