Destination of 4. w. Walker.

Now that the theory of suicide as con
nected with the recent disappearance of A.
". Walker is dismissed, his friends and
creditors are busy in conjecture as to his
whereabouts. The trail is by no means ob-
scure. Mexico, Cuba, France-where he
received his education-all are mentioned
as his probable goal. It now appears that
some one here must have known his real in
tentions, and that to spread the intelligence
OF suicide was designed beforehand. He
wrote letters to the overseer of his pahta-
ton, mentioned how much he owed his
hands. the amount each had received on
account, and gave directions that they
should go and record their privilege on the
sugar crop now being gathered to secure ali
their claims for labor. He gave unwlo,e-
some advice to other Of his employees men
tiOning their faults, and telling for that
they were fitted. b. this it will be seen
with what circumspectlon he took in all the
details of his business. His letters to his
relatives are. of course private. A suit is
now pending against him, brought by his
wife. for separation of property. Exclu-
sive of the amount involved in this, there
would scarcely be enough to satisfy his
creditors: but with this sam there would be
ample means. The great loss he met dur
IN. his life was the sugar house and dis
ti'lery some time ago, in which over $50
600 worth of property was destroyed. In
terested parties are now on the lockout,
and it is not improbable few hours VII

Will answer then am tor using the whole
power OF the country to crush out every
conspiracy against the peace OF society and

The new Attorney General is amazed that
any considerable number at this time
should engage in violence and disorder, for
there Is nothing to gain and much to lose.
Ii hatred and revenge are allowed to over
come these considerations. then it becomes
the plain duty OF the government to inter

From tka St Inuis lamacxaf

DC, Il
The above named State just now presents
problem that merits the Presidents pro-
fouad attention. The Warmoth men make
out a case Of very great strength, and it is
simply impossible but that many thousands
OF honest Republicans in Louisiana feel
deeply aggrieved by the events of the ninth
OF last August. The Presidents authority
was then osteasibly, though falsely, 50 used
as to leave the impression Of deep wrong in
the minds of the host Of Republicans whose
regularly elected delegates were met at the
door Of their convention by display of
force from which they felt it necessary to
withdraw to another hall Plainly, there
was gross and culpablo blnnder if nothing
worse, in the arrangements that led to this
result, and we trust no proper step will be
omitted to remedy that blundcr.
