ITALY.

FLORENCE, October 29.-The Italian
press law has been introduced into Rome
for the government of the journals. The
provisions of the law establishes severe
censorship. According to this measure,
attacks and insults directed by the jour
nails against the Papal and the foreign
ENJOYS accredited to the Pope, will be
treated the same as attack against the
King and the foreign ministers. Docu-
ments emanating from the Pope or eecle-
siastical officers exercising spiritual
power, are declared exempt from the
operations of the press penal law. The
person Of the Pope is assimulated to that
of the King, as regards high treason,
and the same penalties attach TO the ut
terances of sedition against His Holt
ness. t-sa-

prMovIEG THE CAPITAL.

A few st. Louis real estate spectators
have a dream of removing the capitalize
that enterprising village. A convention
was held in Cincinnati this week, which
was, perhaps, mentioned in our dis
patches. The object was TO remove the
capital to ST. Louis. II is unnecessary
10 observe that St. Louis was numeri-
cally well represented. The Cincinnati
bars and hotels realized some benefit
and for the time being favored the re-
moyal with great unanimity. Horace
Greeley was not there. but he wrote q
letter expressing a preference for New
York as a healthy, moral site for the
above mentioned capital. This is
a fine theme for speculative
philosopher. and when the election
is over We hope 10 hear from Mr.. Greeley
again. The subject has been agitated
frequently by men who ike TO see their
names in prins; and others Of deeper
thought have conceded that the capital
ought TO be in the Mississippi Valley,
nearer the territorial center Of the coun-
try. What pity that this fact was not
discovered about the time our forepa-
rents pilgrimized over to Plymouth
Rock. II Is quite an undertaking now,
and We believe it would be cheaper to
continue paying mileage 20 Western
Congressman than to bring the huge
mountain Of archives across the Ale

pExocRAr1c ADDRESS.

We present to-day an address to the
people from the Democratic Executive
Committee Of Shelby county. it is in
tended for distribution as campaign
document in Shelby. but the principles
enumerated are in harmony with the Off
cial utterAnees OF the party thron ghont
the State, and do not conflict with the
course indicated By the National Execu-
tive Committee. The address was care
fully prepared, and we commend it to
the people of Shelby and Of Tennessee
in general as a sound political production
worthy Of careful perusal. The neces-
sity for such an appeal exists in the
apathy of our party. resulting from an
assured majority for every candidate.
The danger apprehended is that the
strength Of the party will not be devel
oped at the baIlot-box on the 9Th day Of
November. There is q vast difference
between majority at home and ma
jority OF voters on the election ground
doing their whole duty. The Radicals
are quietly organizing their forces, and
are determined to poll an Unprecedented
vote. Now we do not admit that there
are any disafected Democrats in any o
the districts from Representative up t
Congressional; but there are some, anC
perhaps many, oyer-sanguine and uncon
cerned Democrats, who, knowing o
past successes, take il for granite!
that the same will naturally occur at al
future elections. True, the people hay'
had surfeit Of politics since they be
came enfranchised. They have voted a
one or more elections, and feel that tn
machine should run of itself like woun'
mp clock. Theoretically, this is true
but not practically A better compari
son at present would be, wagon gOin
up hill, which only moves forward as
is pulled and pushed One more stron
pail will carry us to the top of the hill o
the sth of November. when we expect
secure Democratic Governor-a ma
ofthe people, representing fairly all tn
peoples interests for the first time sine
1861. Then a long respite will ensue
no more elections of importance will b
held fer nearly three years, except fc

important, then, that the people realiz

The murderer Wilson, who tried nine
days Of selfstaryation in the Connecticut
State prison, thus describes his feelings:
On The fourth and fifth days the trial
was terrible; the cravings Of hunger
we're fearful; could hardly stand it.
After that, hunger ceased. On the sixth
day my thirst was so intense that invol-
unfairly brought the wash-dish to my
lips; ] could not help it; this was the
only time 1 drank during the nine and a
half days" He claims 10 have been en-
gagged in over one hundred burglaries,
besides having broken Jail several times.
Meriden, Connecticut, has man who
enjoys public executions. This miser-
able man, laboring under the erroneous
belief that Wilson. the murderer Of War
den Willard, is to be hanged in Hartford
on Friday Of this week, has written from

ing that he be permitted, his health allow
ing the luxury, TO assist at the execu-
ton. You remember" he confden-
tally adds, "that | assisted in hanging
Starkweather The Sheriff was good
natured enough to reply to this note,
with the information that as Wilson was
not to be hanged until this time next
year, the anxious invalid would possibly
be well enough, at the expiration Of that
period, to enjoy the scene.
Melancholy announcements like the
following are daily appearing in the

Hail breaking at somervilre.

The Somerville Falcon of Thursday
has the following local item:
Another batch Of prisoners, five in
number, escaped from the county Jail
last night. This makes, we believe, the
third lot that has escaped within the past
twelve months. We met the Sheriff this
morning at nine o'clock, within forty
yards of the jail, and inquired of him how
the prisoners managed to make their
escape, and received the response that he
did not know; and he looked very much
like he didn't care. 1t seems TO us that
the Sheriff, who, as well as the jailer, is
charged with the custody Of prisoners,
and Is responsible for their safe keeping,
at that hour in the day should have not
only known how they escaped, but
had runners on their track. These FREE
quent escapes are chargeable to some
body, and It would be well for the Grand
Jury, now in session, to make q proper
Investigation of the matter, in order
that the blame and censure may fall
where it rightfully belongs. If the
Sheriff and Taller have not been care
full and attentive to their duties and the
prisoners have escaped through careless
ness on their part, the, public should
know il, and II the County Court has
failed TO make proper appropriations OF
money to make the jail secure, then the
blame ought and will rest there.
