Political Corruption In Louisiana,

New ORLEANS, Feb. 3.-The committee APP
pointed by the citizens meeting on Monday
night waited on Governor Yarmouth yesterday
afternoon and presented the resolutions adopted
at the meeting.
The Governor in replying stated that he had
vetoed great many bills making subsidies and
grants to individuals and companies, which in
few instances have been passed over the veto;
that there were many in the Legislature ignorant
of the manipulations of the lobbyists; men who
had been recently enfranchised. They have to
be taught and instructed.
The Governor went on at length making dis
closures as to how various measures were en-
gineered through the Legislature by these same
good citizens, to sign one of which he had been
offered fifty thousand dollars by one party, and
in addition Mayor Conway, of this city, had Of
fered him any consideration to sign it. The bill
was vetoed. The bill here referred to was the
five million gold bond bill for redeeming the city
money. He was also offered $4,000 to sign
the Nicolson pavement bill, which he vetoed.
In the course of mis- remarks the Governor stated
that Auditor Wickliffe had robbed the State of
half million dollars,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-02-03

down to Civia Vecchia AT Rome she was
cordially received of course, and so the tale has
come TO proeaic ending.
Two New York ladies, Mrs Hicks and Mrs.
Ward Burnett, initiated Mrs. Hills example last
week, at least so far as to become Catholics;
but neither of them has expressed any desire to
renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil to
the extent of conventual seclusion.
The ST. Louis Democrat thereupon remarks: -
The Mrs. Hill referred to by the correspondent Is
the wife of Britton A. Hill Esq, of this city,
against whom suit for divorce is pending, aud
will be tried In about two weeks. The Italian
correspondent makes several erroneous state
ments in the above extract, which 1t may be
proper to correct. 1t is not true that Mr.. Hill
went to Europe after receiving news that his
wife was drowned consequently he could not
have had an interview with the Pope's Secretary
of State, nor threatened Antonelli with the thun-
ders of the British feet. The facts are that Mr..
Hill, on hearing that his wife was drowned,
wrote to officials at Nice, Offering reward of
5000 francs for the recovery of the body. After
a while he received intelligence that the la1y
was not drowned at all, but had gone away in
company with an absquatulating banker, and he
troubled himself no further about her than to
prepare for the trial for divorce.

An Italian correspondent sent the New York
Post the following:-
We have just had the denouenaent of what did
promise to be quite a little romance. Those
Americans who passed last winter at Nice may
remember the excitement caused by the mystic
rious disappearance of Mrs. HILL who was sup
posed to have drowned herself or to have
eloped. The Var was dragged for her body,
and a runaway couple of suspicious manners
was pursued to Genoese hotel but all searches
proved vain until within few weeks, when the
husband learned that tue lost one was safe and
sound in Roman convent. So he came on, had an
interview with the Secretary of State, and de-
manded her surrender. Antonelli said, Certainly,
if she chooses to go with you;" and gave him an
order to that effect. Mr.. Hill went saw, and
did not conquer, as the lady declined to go home,
alleging that she was not happy with him, and
was happy where she was; he cried out that it
was Mortara case, and threatened the English
feet, ETC., etc.; but Antonelli simply replied
"Non possunlats; your wife is of age, and we
cannot do violence to her inclinations." All the
poor man could learn was the manner of her
flight She had suffered some family affiiction,
got religions, hired fishing boat and coasted

HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT. The Neils~
vile CLARK Co. Republican of the 18th,
tells the following rough and rather
doubtful story:
Within the past few days persons from
the npper country have reported here
that one of the most cold blooded and
atrocious scenes we ever heard of, was en-
acted one day last week in camp of
Chippewa Indians, some thirty miles
north Of Neilsville. Two Indians quar-
relied, and one Of them killed the other
with knife. The rest of the small band
held counsel, and condemned the muir
derer to be skinned alice The sentence
was strictly carried out, the doomed In
dian being staked to the ground, and his
skin literally peeled from his writhing
body 1t is said that the victim of this
barbarous, inhuman and heart-sckening
operation, lived for several minutes after
the fiends had finished their bloody task,
and was then buried beside the Indian
he had murdered.
