Senator Morton the other day, says the

that a committee of three" be ap-
pointed to go to St. Domingo toinquire
into the moral, physical, industrial, finan-
cial and social condition of its inhabi-
tants, and to learn the terms upon which
they desire to become annexed to the
United States, their relations to other
powers, etc, and report the result to

gagement At the Academy Of Music in

II is seldom that our people have had
an opportunity OF more thorough enjoy

Of amusement which changes SO rapidly

long odds the most artistic representa-
ton Of the performance. 1t may be her

The character sketches Of Mr.. Lfngard
are exquisite specimens in their way,
and certainly denote genius TO con

RIVER PIRATES.
Robbery and Attempted Murde,

This morning a man named james
Robinson was taken off the steamer
Richmond and carried to the City Hos
pital in almost dying condition. The
Richmond Head Light gives us the facts
connected with this outrage: ss
A desperate attempt at murder was
made last Thursday night at wood yard
on the Mississippi, about fifty miles be-
low Helena. Mr.. James Robinson, of
Memphis. accompanied by his wife, left
that city about ten days ago for the pur-
pose of seeking employment at some
point on the river. Purchasing q steam
boat yawl and good sized skiff, the fam
ily packed their household goods and
started down the river. At the point
mentioned Robinson was promised
work in hauling wood to the river
bank, and while in the act of removing
his plumber on shore. two desperadoes in
skiff made their appearance and at
tackled Mr.. Robinson in a murderous
manner. They stated their object to be
pluuder and murder, and without any
further ceremony plunged a large-sized
butcher knife into his side, which in
stautly felled him to the ground. His
wife hearing his cries for help, ran to
the spot and found her husband on the
ground weltering in his own blood, while
the two villains we're just putting off
from shore with both the yawl and skiif,
the poor famiIy's goods
There was no medical aid to be procured
anywhere near, and the unfortunate
man had become very weak from |
loss Of blood. About noon Friday hail
from shore brought the steamer Rich
mond to the point where the bloody deed
and robbery was committed. The man |
was carried on board upon mattress,
and win be landed at Memphis, where
his wounds will be properly attended TO-

Paper Clothing.

According to French journals we have
discovered new kind of paper in this
country, characterized by unusual fexi-
bility and toughness, admirably adapted
for clothing Of all kinds. The cost Of
the material is so cheap that q suit Of
clothes can be had for one dollar. Be-
sides clothing, we are also credited with
the preparation of napkins, table-cloths,
and ocket-handkerchiefs The yeracious
Frenchman asks how such clothing will
bear the rain, and presumes that it is
made water-tight in some way, and thus
weather-proof He also adds that this

THE srRuaaLE IN FRANCE.

There is a curious coincidence between

Napoleon III would not join South Ger

NOBODY'S CHILDREN,

Lecfure.
Rev. Father Nugent, of Liverpool, En-
gland, arrived in this city yesterday The
object of his visit to Memphis is toes
tablish a system of juvenile immigration
of female domestics from the old coun-
try. Father Nugent has for years la
bored among the Irish population OF
Liverpool, and sought to elevate their
moral and social condition. All who
know anything of the present condition
of England are aware that she has now
a population which she cannot sustain.
We want this surplus labor in every
portion of the South, and therefore well
come Father Nugent to our city. de
proposes to explain his plan by giving
lecture in the early part of the ensuing
week, selecting for his subject the title
of "Nobody's Children" or the neg
lected population of England. The st.
Louis Dispatch, speaking of his mission
to this country, says: @Lf
"This gentleman, from his official
position as Chaplain Of one ofthe largest
prisons in England, is well qualified to
speak upon the dark side of social life,
and set forth the causes which lead so
many to crime and moral degradation.
He comes to this country TO lind open
ings for boys and girls whom he has
rescued from the streets and from the
fatal influences of ignorance and pau
perism. 1t is not unsfilled labor or the
scum of the population of the over
crowded cities that he proposes to trans
plant to this country, but young men
and women who have been educated
under his care, and further trained
to work, having a practical knowl-
edge of what they undertook;
Father Nugent is a practical
man, as well as large-hearted philan-
thropist, so that his lecture will not only
be an intellectual treat, but 1t will give
an insight into the terrible straits to
which the young outcasts and destitute
children are reduced TO obtain bread in
the great cities of England. His pictures
of street life" have been compared by
the press of this country to some OF
Dickens most touching sketches. His
Infant Gymnast' is like chapter from
Oliver Twist, and the instrumental trio
As rich piece of satire and rollicking
Irish humor as ever fell from the lips of
an Irishman.
The lecture will be free, and will take
place on Tuesday night next at the
5reenlaw Opera House.

LYNCH LAW.

There is tradition that at an early
day in the history Of this country Judge
Lynch, an individual with questionable
authority, went hand in hand with the
spirit of our ipdicial system. On the
borders of civilization this hangman S
court may have been recognized as
dire necessity. but at this late day, when
civilization is full fedged. and when
constitutional courts of justice are in
existence, when judicial officers are fit
representatives of the people, the far
famed court of Judge Lynch becomes
nuisance, and his so-calIed administra-
ton of justice crime. We have just
entered upon an era in Tennessee when
laws can be properly enforced, and
when their enforcement may, with
perfect safety, be left to the
judicial and ministerial officers; indeed,
