of NJ. Rochefort. Two separate state

affair, AMI both directly opposite. The
Prince who did the shooting is now held

Parisiaus followed the remains OF the

The pre,ext was a good one for the
agi,stors to arouse the people, and 1t was
made use Of. The appearance OF the
French military was sufficient to keep
down any violent outbreak, although Sc
ditious words were used, and the Mar
seillaise Hymn was sung by the excited
crowd. The las, account is that Eoche-
fort has been compelled to leave Paris.
The following is what the Chicago
Times says;

THE LEGrsLATURE.

The House has passed the Senate res
olu,iop. in this State, to adjourn the
Legislature on the l4,h Of February next.
The time set is not soon enough, and toe
LEGISLATURE should have even stood ad-
;onr,e3 before this. The business trans
ac,ed nv this assembly during three
months, we may safely say, could have
bsen performed in thirty days as well
I, occurs to us that members of this new
body are 10th to give up little brief au-
,hority. There we're scarcely dozen
public acts OF Importance to be passed.
nesides few distasteful laws on the
s,atute books that needed to be repealed.
When this was done the Legislature
might have, with the greatest proprlety,
aS;onrned long since. We are sorry that
soms men we're not born to ofice-inher
ting the same as special dowery.
II wonld have saved them from many
q beartache, and the uncertainty Of an
unknown political future. Etheridge'
Cooper. and few more who have taken
I'M permanent winter quarters at the
capital, could hardly be persuaded TO
allow the people to have Convention
and the whole difficulty arose from the
fact that they could not be members OF
both bodies.
How unkind is our law 10 not per-
hitting gentlemen with such merit TO
hold two offices at once; yes, hundred
Offices at time, if they wanted them.
But as these office-loving gentlemen could
not get into the Convention as well, they
concluded to enjoy to their hearts con-
tent being legislators.
If the Convention does its duty pro-
nosition will be submitted to the people
calling for new Legislature, 10
be elected in the fall of this year The
ueopIe OF West Tennessee demand that
such shall be the case.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June s.

w AsHINGTON, June 5.
The President in reply to the resolution OF
the Senate, says the State Department has
received no official information concerning
the reported prosecutors and massacre of the
Jews in Roumania.
Only one vessel the Savannah will go on
the practice cruise with midshipmen this
summer.
Spotted Tail with his associates leave for
the plains tomorrow. Red Cloud and his
delegation will have final interview with
the President Tomorrow, but will remain a
week or ten days longer.
The Minnesota delegation express great
apprehension that the course Of Canada to-
ward Horace Rel, the Red River President
will involve the whole northwestern terri
tory i'll war.
1t seems the Manitoba act more than con-
cedes Reil's demands. with an important
omission of general amnesty. 1t is under
stood that the Red River delegation to Otta-
wa when they preached such a provisions,
were told that no offences had been COM
mitted against Canada, but that the Queen
proclamation would give immunity to all the
actors in the instruction. Clinton Murdoch
representing the home government was pre-
sent, and joined in this assurance and its
faith.
The Red River delegates consented to or
ganize the force of the Province. Most I'M
qualified representations of the peaceful
character of the expedition were com NUM-
Gated to the American government by Min
lister Thornton.
News from Fort Gary shows that Reil will
raise 5000 men, and fight the troops now
struggling in through the wilderness beyond
Lake SUPERIOR unless a full and unoualified
amnesty be proclaimed.
Every days delay is said to make the stu
alton more critical
it IS alleged that Canada hopes to steal into
the country without being forced to pledge
the safety of Rel and his associates; and
that if the matter shall remain in its present
unsatisfactory state much longer, the active
interposition of the government of the L. S.
will become necessary to the security of the
frontiers of Minnesota, Dakotah and Mon
tana.
Senator Ramsays resolution calling for
such mediation will soon be the subject of a
report from the Com. on Foreign Affairs.

Unity Village.

Unity Village.
DEAR JOURNAL: - This is one of the
most pleasant places in the State for summer
resort. With a beautiful lake Just above the
village, more than five miles in length, and
two in width, it is a fine place for fishing and
sailing. The farms in the vicinity are very
large and generally level the soil is rich and
productive. In the village there are six or
seven stores, one hotel, and number of man
ufacturing establishments, all doing good
business. The Belfast & Moosehead Rail-
road, which will pass through the northern
extremity of the village, will be a great adj
vantage to the place, as it will make more
ready market for the produce of the farmers.
as well as to make the means of transporta-
ton much easier and cheaper The contract
ors on the railroad are progressing finely with
their work. ] am informed that the grading
is nearly finished The first iron was laid on
the Goth ult., at Belfast. Whole length of the
road, 33 | s. miles, the whole to be completed
by the first of October next. The road is
der the supervision of Col. Widcs of Skow-
hogan. Crops in this vicinity are looking
finely, and undoubtedly an abundant harvest
will cheer the hearts of our farmers.
