and taking their victims little dis
tance of, shot them. Three we're
killed, but the third, though wounded
escaped. Three citizens Of De Soto
parish were recognized by the man as
among the assassins, and were arrested.
They were taken before a Justice Of
the Peace, tried for two days and then
acquitted. We do not know whether
the result Of the trial was obtained
through the rascality Of the Justice or
through the success Of the accused in
proving their innocence. That such
crime as the one above recorded could
be perpetrated, is, however, proof
enough that De Soto parish can not be
regarded as a civilized region, taking
the loyal States for a standard. We
trust that Congress, in view of the
frequent perpetration Of atrooious
crimes, aud the defeat of a fair ele-
ction, Of which Governor Warmoth
has given the proof will thoroughly

It has arrived at it's large capital by
successive amalgamations and purchas-
es OF Othens lines, on which occasion
additions have been made to the valu-
ations. The current price Of its stock
is now seventy per cont upon the uomi-
nal par, which doubtless exceeds the
actual cost; and were we to reduce the
present price of all our telegraph stocks
to gold, the amount would fall below
twenty-five millions of dollars ct a
gold valuation.
The cost Of constructing a new line
with a single wire in the United States
does not exceed two hundred dollars
per mile, while each additional wire,
with the apparatus, would fall below
one hundred dollars more. Were tel
egraphs to be assumed by government,
IL might well afford TO allow for them
twenty-five millions In gold, or two
hundred and twenty-five dollars per
mile Of wire. AS the good viii Is worth
more than that Of the British lines
this nation might well afford to allow
twenty-five dollars per mile more than
the British standard of two hundred
dollars per mile of wire, and thus re-
munerate the present holders, both for
the original cost and the outlay on the
improvements here, and give a mod
crate profit. They should be fairly, If
not literally remunerated. It would be

Rev. Mr.. sharman requests us to state that
he never sent message to Mr.. Dempsey, as
stated In the Esening ErprsH Of yesterday.
The statement, he says, Is wholly unfounded.

whyte, vickers and Ross.
Capt. VIM. Reynolds and Lieutenant Com

been placed on waiting orders.

that "Mr. Hooker Is Just now In favor

The Alabama Treaty.

The refusal Of the United States Senate to
ratify the patched-up treaty of Lord Claren-
don and Mr.. Reyerdy johnson occasions
various comments in the London press. One
paper thinks that this treaty even assures
the amity Of England, and though 1t fails 1t
does not endanger the friendly relations Of
the two countries; but that 1t may serve as a
warning in arranging the points of a new
convention. Another journal expresses much
regret that this treaty is lost, and declares
that all further advances must come from
the United States. 1t says that England will
make no more concessions, and will only
treat hereafter upon terms OF absolute equal
ity. And still another paper regrets the
delay that must now ensue, and deplores the
fact that the contamination Of friendly rela-
tions between the two countries are post
poned to distant day.
All this Is very Hue, and helps these news
papers to put on that assumed dignity which
they are so fond of parading on all occasions.
Without entering into any explanations In
this connection-for the whole subject is well
enough understood In this country-we have
to say that the question is a very plain and a
very simple one-R Is pay upi and we need
no mere tedious formalities and diplomatic
circumlocutlon to eluoldate the matter, and
without any threats and with becoming dig
nifty President Grant will say just this. 30
we think; for such Is the wish Of our people

Editor Of The National Republican,
You stated In your paper yesterday, that Mr..
J. Q. Adams, as outgoing President, did not
join in the Inauguration ceremonies Of his
successor, General jackson; but you did not
state the reason why he did not. Allow me
to do so.
On arriving in Washington from Tennes-
see, General Jackson, having some time be-
fore publicly charged Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Clay with "bargain and corruption" In the
preceding election Of President by the House
Of Representatives, refused to pay the Gus.

fusal was justified by Gen. Duff Green's Tsle.

THE Baltimore AHerieaH doubts whe ther
our women are so wicked as would be i'm
piled by the language used In the recent cir
cular of Archbishop spaulding to the
churches of his diocese. There must bo a
little fire where there is so much smoke,
and 1t would not seem that all these charges
Of ante-natal murders would be made by re-
spectacle clergymen of not only the Catholic
but of other churches unless there was some
foundation. The charges are serious ones.
Our women best know their truth or falsity,

As nine tcnths OF the naturalization frauds
Of the times are against the Republican
party, the public may rely on 1t Congress
will put an end to them. They will decline
to listen to appeals in favor Of permitting
State courts to continue to naturalixe, come
from what quarter they may. In making
the change, the facilities for honest natural
ization will not be increased, not diminished.
Tho current cmbarrassments to honest nat
publications grow almost entirely out Of the
facilities for issuing fraudulent papers.
With those facilities cut of, honest apph-
