While all Europe is discussing the
mysterious Franco-Prussian treaty for
tho absorption of Belgium, that king
dom must feel peculiarly outraged by n
scheme which, if successful, would have
been utterly destructive Of its methods
of social and industrial development.
The mere ownership of tho territory by
any particular power might be changed
and history be only repeating itself
Belgium has never enjoyed what may be
called international independence. 1t
has ut different periods been possession
of France, of Spain, of Austria and of
Holland; and even now its existence is
guaranteed by other Governments. But
the Belgian Government has fostcrcd an
economical policy different from any
other, and one especially suited to the
very diversified character Of the national
industries. 1t has retained control of,
and operated tho canals md railroads,
upon the principle that good and cheap
internal communication is a most i'm
portant means of promoting the pros
perity of State. The refusal, some
time ago, of tho transfer of tho Luxem-
burg Railway to French company,
even at the risk of offending Napoleon,
was in conformity with this policy. It
is easy to judge, therefore, with what
Indignation tho people would view n
political transfer which would certainly
involve the destruction of their chief
element of prosperity, as we'll as their
political existence.-Ne,0 York Times.

A NEGRO THIEF KILLS WHITE MAN,
AND IS IN TURN SHOT AND Thrown INTO
THE RIVERA double homicide was
committed on Tuesday last, in tho town
Of Ellasville, Florida. It seems that two
negro thieves broke into the store of n
gentleman doing business in that town,
and while they were engaged in robbing
the establishment, were discovered by Il
white man, and one of them captured.
While the captor was holding the negro,
the scoundrel drew pistol and shot and
killed him. A number of the citizens of
tho place, hearing Of the murder, pur-
sued tho negro, and capturing him, shot
the assassin and pitched his body into
the river.

The "Marseillaise" will soon lose its
local and original Significance, in becom-
ing the universal hymn of revolution.
It is no longer the national strain of
France-the hymn of liberty it ia the
shrek of war itself, the murmur of ga
thering and impassioned legions. Wher-
ever it has been sung. contending cannon
have, ere long, thundered in its chorus.
There is blood in every bar, and battle
in every note. It reused tho Hunga-
rians to revolution; it gathered the Ita-
lians, and it was the first cry of the "lost
cause" It is heard now in the palace of
Napoleon, and is echoed along the Py-
rennees and over the green fields of Ire
land. Glorious and almost inspired
though it be, there is something dreadful
in its sound. We hear it in the wall of
the oppressed, the diapason of avenging
curses, the rush to arms, the howl of
battle and the shrek of victory-all COM
bined in one agony of song.

General NJ. g. Butler has been charged

General NJ. g. Butler has been charged
as one of the authors of the ''Blaok
Code" "A correspondent Of the Charles
ton Courier thus settles the matter:
"By referring to the House u Journal,
page 119, in the vote on the third and final
reading OF the bill, among the nays will
be found the name of General Butler.
Mackey knew, or might have known the
truth, but the perversion of truth serves
his purposes best"

The isolation of Franco in the contest
on which she has just entered, seems
every day to increase. The passive
hostility of Great Britain is already an
accomplished fact; Denmark, on whom
Franco reckoned TO cause a diversion
against Prussia in the North, has given
official notification of neutrality, and in
spite of Prince Napoleon's mission, will
probably adhere to it, while Spain is
moro than ever irate at the language
held by tho French Foreign Minister
with reference to the subscrviency of
the Cortes in tho choice of King. AS
sct-of to all this, tho Gaulois follows
up its announcement of correspond
ence with reference to the evacuation Of
Rome, by the statement Of conditional
alliance between Franco and Italy, one
stipulation of which secures to the
latter power a payment of $12,O 900, 900
in gold, and another loaves the question
of the occupation of Rome as the capital
to tho Government Of Florence. Proba-
bic as such an alliance may appear, it is
none the less likely that Italy will pause
before taking step in which she risks
everything for the immediate attain
ment Of an object which time will un-
doubtcdly put within her grasp.

While both the armies of france and
Prussia are hopelessly closed against all
foreigners ambitious to figure at the out
set MS anything higher than n private
soldier, or ut most n non-commissioned
officer, an exception has been made by
the Prussians in favor of surgeons. All
properly qualified persons, no matter of

CADET BROKER WHITTEoIoRE.-Th
prominent part taken by ex-Congress-
man Whittemore in the recent radical
Convention attracts the attention of tho
Northern pressof all parties. Says the New
York Herald: "In South Carolina, Gov.
Scott. by Tie grace Of er-Congressman
WhiHemore, has been nominated for Go
vernon" The New York WorM says:
1t appears that the cadet-broker Whit
temore took entire charge of the South
Carolina Republican State Convention
on Thursday last. It was Whittemore
who decided which of the delegates were
duly elected; Whittemore who framed
the platform Endorsing President
Grants administration and White
more who nominated the candidates for
the coming race. In one word, from its
head to its tail, the whole Republican
party in South Carolina was incarnated
in this convicted and twice branded ca
del. selling. carpct-bag Congressman; |;
and SO decided prominence on the heels
Of his second rejection by the House
seems to indicate that, just in proportion
MS any man becomes degraded in general
estimation, Just in that proportion does
field sutfragans who form, with some
Whittcmore-isl white men, the Repub-
lican party Of South Carolina. This fell
low was driven from tho House for plain
theft, and his constituents sent him
back; the House spurned him from its
threshold, and, lol he rises still higher
in South Carolina Republicanism, aud
from simple Congressman becomes the
great headcentre of the party through
out the State

The number of inqucsts held in New

442, mt an expense to the County of
SS, $40, the allowance for each case being
$40. Coroners extend their hours of duty
far into the night, so that they may hold
lnqucsts and grant certificates, as the
prevailing heat necessitates early inter

three or four days Coroners have found
themselves examining into cases long
after midnight.
CURING DAMpNEss IN WALLs.-A Rus-
sian preparation for curing moisture in
the walls of houses consists in the use of
mixture made by adding two pounds
OF white resin to q boiling solution of
three and three-fourths pounds of green
vitriol in 100 pounds of water. TO this
ten pounds Of siftcd red ochrc or other
color, eight pounds of rye meal and six
and-a-half pounds of linseed oil are TO
be added, and the whole stirred together
until it forms completely homogeneous
mass. Two coats of this mixture arc to
DO applied successfully, while hot, but
only IN dry, warm weather.
A HUMAN CURIOSITY J. N. Mar

ture that lately came under his observa-
ton: ga male child was recently born in

rather useless appendage to ono of his
sex. Covering that part of his head
usually occupied by the chignon is
thick, curly mass of hnir some three
inches in length, and dark brown like
the mothers, while that upon the rest of
the head is short, thin and very light.
Tho fathers hair is red.

rapidly approached the earth. It was
attended with rushing noise. which
became almost deafen1ng as it drew near,

Mexico must be a pleasant place to

Mexico must be a pleasant place to
travel in. Under Juarez the banditG
have increased to- such an alarming ex-
tent as to be regarded in the light Of a
creditable profession. Few travellers
move over its highways without being
despoiled of everything in their possess
sion, even to clothing. "a private letter
recently received from one of the cities
on the route to the City of Mexico says
that it is no unusual thing to see dill
gence arrive with oil its windows closed,
which means that tho robbers have not
left the passengers enough clothes to en-
able them to appear decently before the
public. On such occasions blankets are
stuffed in the windows in order that they
may be enabled to walk from the dill
gence to their bedrooms in becoming
manner. A Government so powerless as
to submit to such outrages is scarcely
worth the many eulogies passed upon it
in Congress. and the high consideration
with which it is treated by our country.
SLAVERY IN WEST 1NDIEs.-By recent
diplomatic correspondence between Sc
cretary Fish and Minister Sickles it is
shown that the Spanish Government has
proposed decree postponing the cman-
cipation of slaves in Cuba and Porto Rico
until the middle of the next century,
Notwithstanding the Government had
been committed to immediate or speedy
abolition by General Prim. Secretary
Fish has instructed Mr.. Sicklos to state
to the Spanish Government that the
President feels it to be the duty of this
Government to impress upon the Span
ish Cabinet the policy as we'll as tho pro-
priety of making at once provisions for
on earlier and moro thorough emnncipa-
ton of slaves. He declares that the pro
posed decree will be looked upon with
dissatisfaction by the civilized world,
as we'll US disappointment by this coun-
try.
