PLNKERTON.
The Assassination Sensation.

1t will be remem bered that Allan Pinkerton,
the Chicago detective, concerned IN the arrest
of Reno aud Anderson, the express robbers, was
lately threatened with ASSASSINATION. The
following is ano her version Of the affair. The
Detroit Tribune on the 7th instant publishes
remarkable affidavit in the alleged attempted
Pinkerton ASSASSINATION. The deponent is
George johnson, the alleged assassin, and the
affidavit IS daled October 30. when he made
application Tor a reduction Of bail. He declares
that he has been IN Pinkcr on's emploV i've
years, and up TO the time OF his arrest; and that
he drew the revolver on SAID Pnkerton at
Pinkertons request, under perfect understand
ing bet Seen them, snd not with lntent 10 harm
PIDkerIOn, but to create sensation and show
that PlnKertOn was brave, and lab Dreed un Ter
great difficulty in the arrest and eXtradi-
ton OF Reno and Anderson, tnag he might
receive the sympathy and reward
offered therefor; that the shooting demon-
stratlon was agreed on 10 take place at The
Michigan Exchange in Detroit IN the presence
OF q crowd, Pnkerton to have timely notice
that he mleht grasp the pistol, but that no good
opportunity then presented itselt, and the hrst
public place that presented itself was agreed
upon, which happened on the occasion or the
arrest OF the dCpouent. For this Pinkerton was
to- pay johnson $1,000, ana neglect to appear and
prosecute him when brought 10 trial. PinkertOn
further agreed to procure private rooms in jail
tor Johnson's CON ort in confinement, and pro-
vide luXuries for the prisoner, out has failed TO
do so, johnson drposes that he / a detective
of many years experience has no i'll will against
Piukertop, and that he can prove these facts
by two reliable witnesses.

FRANCE.
A Successor to The "Lanterne."

Another thorn in the side for Napoleon is
noted by the London Teeqrdph:-
m. Rochefort must look to his laures. By
means of La Ldnterne he taught his felo v.
journalists how to tickle the ear OF Paris with
eptgrammatic straws, and now some of his
colleagues md that they can perform the task
as we'll as himself. La DldOte a Qudtre, written
by NJ. de Villemessant, NJ. Duchesne, NJ Lock
roy and NJ. 'Mephisi opheles.' is qui e As clever
as La Ldnte1Re. THIS Is not saying much,
PERHAPS; Tor, in great degree, N. Rochefort's
pamphlet was effective, simply because he
nut into plain language what other peo-
pie expressed in ambiguous hints. lie
Dadble Qadtre has one advaDtaee over
La Ldnterne IN being illustrated. The rear of
every shCrt article is brought up by des dtdbies
et des dab esSes micrOScOptgueS- whom, We
are told, the pen OF NJ. Benasst has lent Parisian
wit and English humor. At least the devils,
male ana female, are represen' ed in somewhat
undlgniied positions. One Is dancing horn
pipe; another is no tsting an imp in a saucepan;
third is bowiDg, with pathetic humility, to a
sendarme; d fourth who has boiled in hot
haste from band of pursuers, has Deen caught
by the tail. and, being held back by the frantic
strength of i've toes, gives signs OF capituatiou;
httn wears the earb of an ecCiesIastic, and
seems TO feel with much keenne.s the humilia-
tiOn; and in The lalpIece four devils celebrate
the success OF their literary efforts by frantic

him. 1t woull also have the effect of not
leaving him al ogether in the hands of the
adverse faction, and would doubtless strengthen
any purpose he may entertain towards the con-
servative sentiment of the country This vote
cannot possibly do Seymour any good, and
thrown in the manuer suggested would at least
produce conclllatory impression.
Letters similar TO this have been sent 10
Governor Stephenson, of Kentucky; A. II
stephens, of Georgia; Wade Hampton. General
Gordon, General Preston, Robert Tyler,
Alabama, and ex-senator @. G. Clay. These ar,
all southeners, bat / am informed prominent
Democratic politicians in the North have also
been gifted of the movement and urged to 90
into 1t promptly. Whether the movement viii
really amount to anything or not remains
to be seen. The same objection is made
TO the project as was urged against
change of front after the October elections.
namely, that to vote for GRAFT will involve a
demorali cation, rank aud 6le, of the Democratic
party. The answer that the new movement
party make to this objection is that the condi-
tion OF things is such now as to require eXtraor-
binary action. The national risk is Imminent,
casting few electoral votes for Seymour is a
meIe barren compliment. whereas giving the
unanimous vote of the Electoral College to
G1aut is insuring the friendship of the next
President for the suffering people of the South.

EGYPT.
The Attempted Assassination of the
VicerOy.

Correspondence ofthe London Times, Oct. '26.
Sir:-In the Times of Friday the I'd inst,
there appeared, rs one OF MI. Reuters teiegrams,
the news that an attempt had been made to
assassinate his Hiehness the Viceroy OF Egypt
in a narro " street at Cairo, and the next day
second telegram appeared stating that the
attempt had been made rot in Cairo but AleXan-
dria,
1t must have appeared strange to your readers
that Reuler's agent here should not have been
correctly informed as to the 10 Nn i'll which the
attempt was made, but TO us, in "a certain mea-
sure behind the scenes, 1t was perfectly mtell1'
gible, and, as the rea on is somewhat a striking
ore, perhaps may be allowed to explain it.
The simple reason, tbeD, ls this, that neither
here nor III Caro- was any ATTEMPT made upon
the life o bis Highness. Incredible it may
appear, ,thsre now remains no reasonable doubt
that one and all s Ii ghness, the Consular
booy, the mercantile community, and Reuters
ageDt were the victim OF a most unsCrupu-
lOus hoax. The OBJECT was either to create
harmless demonstration OF goodwill to wards
his Hlghness, or possibly to implicate some
persons not III high favor with the government.
The Viceioy passed through the to Rn on the
evening o. tna 22d of September. On that night
IL is SAID in front OF the old BourSe an attempt
at assassination vas mads by dropping spiked
ball upon bis head. Permit me to call attention
to the following weak points IN the romance:-
/. The attempt occurred on the 22d OF Septem-
Der: nothing vas known OF it until the lst of
been made in Cairo, on the ID it was said that
it happened here. 2. The streets were
densely crowded, particularly at the spot
mentioned. No person saw the attempt but
those IN the Viceroy's carriage. 8. Ali Bey,
Prefect OF Police, heard OF the attempt for the
first time ulne days afer it happened he
proceeded TO examine the house whence 1t was
assert ed the bomb was seen to ial, bat he was
met by two OF his own men, who refused him
entrance. On demonstrating he was sent up
couEtry. nOmrnally as Governor Of Esneh. TIE
instrument employed was a most clumsy one,
which coud not. except by the merest chance,
have inflicted more than triing wound.
As il has been sought to inphcate persons in
high position with this extraordinary farce,
may ask the insertion of this letter?

The Freedom of the Press.
The Gazette publishes the Home Minister'S
decree for an unlimited freedom OF the press.
1t ooes away with all special legislation on the
subject, and only holds the author, editor or
printer or manager of plays responsible for
any abuses contemplated by the common law
and answerabe to its penalt es. The Ministero OF
the Colonies, Lopez dc Ayalo, declares that the
salary OF $4,000 which was paid to Father
Clalet, the Queens contessor, as dInltSston1ry
Bishop OF Santiago de Cuba, shall cease from
the cay of that prelates departure from
the kingdom. A far more important measure
was adopted by the Minister OF Grace aud JUS
tice, Senor Romero Ortiz, who suppressed the
appointments allowed to the Episcopal semi
naIies (Sen1indrios COBcitdres), theological
schools established by decree of the Council
of Trent IN every diocese, and which were for
merry endowed. The salaries which are now
taken from them had been given in coppensa-
ton for IN air property which was cOniscated in
1S43 and 1854. The divinity schools in the unver-
slties are also suppress ed So that all theological
Instruction 10 public establishments must cone
TO an end. 1t is needless TO say that measures
carried to such eXtremites cannot fail to un-
dergo some modification.
