THE CHINESE MASSACRE
Promise of Investigation.

PARIS, July 29.-The Journal 007csG
publishes a letter dated July 81, from the
Chinese Embassy at present in Paris, ex-
pressing the profound feelings of sorrow
with which its members heard of the muir
derous affair at Lihentsin. The Embassy
learned at the same time that Chinese
functionary of exalted rank had been
charged to inquire into those lamentable
scenes. The ENJOYS Of China do not hest
tate to affirm that that functionary will
bring the greatest diligence and acquit
himself of that mission in clearing it up.
HIS action will be in accordance with trea-
ties and laws.
They feel they have some reason to hope
that the negotiations previously entered
into between the Duke of Grammont and
themselves, for the purpose of arranging
as to the Chinese Mission, have succeeded
in doing with the principal courts of Eu-
rope basis of permanent understanding
according to the principles of international
law.
The negotiations which were SO unfor-
tunately interrupted at the moment they
were about to be crowned with success,
may ultimately be resumed. Under the
present circumstances, the Envoys pro-
pose to leave tomorrow for Madrid. They
return soon to Paris, and will wait upon
the Minister of Foreign Affairs and then
take their final leave.

The WOLF on the Wink ASaln-At-
tempt 90 Assassinate Capt. VIM.
l.. HARRISON.
From the Athens Crenn.) Post, July 20.
Capt. VIM. L. HARRISON was wsylaid
and shot about 10 o'clock last Saturday
night, while entering the yard in front of
his residence, which is in the extreme
end of town on the road leading in the
direction of Forest Hill Two balls or
slugs struck him in the back of the neck
one in the shoulder, and one on the
arm. Nine shot missed him entirely, and
lodged in the Notwithstanding of the
house. The night was dark, and the
assassin must have been concealed in the
gully on the opposite side of the road,
some twenty-five or thirty PAGES distant.
One of the wounds in the neck looks
ugly, but it is not regarded as serious
at present, though the surgeons failed to
find the ball. The murderer used either
shotgun or musket-the same one no
doubt, with which he killed the student,
Woody, two months ago, whom he mis-
took in the dark for HARRISON, and who
was shot down within hundred and fifty
Yards of where this last attempt at a
cowardly-cold- blooded murder was made.
The same gun was used, the same sort of
Wadding-as particles were found in both
instances sufficient to indicate the papers
from which they have been torn, and the
same hand fred both Shots This is the
common opinion. Had the assassin emp
tied his weapon before his intended victim
entered the gate he would in all probabili-
| 4. 1. l1oIn o1 q !
was. he had to elevate it too much, and
the most of the load missed and lodged in
the front of the house, one slug passing
through the weather boarding and plaster
ing into the family room.
From present indications HARRISON will
survive this second attempt to assassinate
him under cover of darkness, and will be
able to look after his own case; but the
murderer of Frank WOody-the same
skulking villain who fired the gun on Sat-
urday highland his aiders and abettors,
are undiscovered and still 20 large. The
inuuisition which undertook to ferret out
and trace the murderer in that case has
never reported or had a final adjournment.
If they will now go to work earnestly and
fearlessly they may soon get upon the
trail of the guilty parties and bring them
to punishment They should act prompt
ly, or close the inquest and let the public
know the result and character of their
investigations. The opinion is general in
the community that the-- masaerer is In
our midst or in the vicinity. His identity
and arrest is due alike to the ends of JUS
tice, and that the suspicion of terrible
crime may not fall upon innocent parties.
