Rev. X. Il. DiOssy.

The gentleman whose name heads this
article needs no statement from any one at
all acquainted with him to clear him from
the vile slander published in the Lato,rcI,e
Republican, and copied in the so-called
New Orleans Patriot. Yet for the informa-
tion of those not acquainted with him, and
as matter of justice, we are glad to pub
lish the following letter from Hon. S. C.
Mollere. which fully vindicates Mr.. Diossy,
and brands with infamy the traducers of
this excellent Christian gentleman:
ASSUMPTION, June %, 1871
To Rev r. K Diossy, Division superintendent:
DEAR SIR-The article referred to in your
letter of June "a has, assure you, neither
been written or inspired by me. do not
hesitate to qualify it as gross talsehood
and wicked assertion. l am entirely un-
able to account fer the appearance of this
slander and wanton attack upon the char
acter of man who certainly does not de-
serve it; and should be very much obliged
to the Lafo,Tche Republican to point out co
the public the forger of these faIsehoods.
Yours, respectfully,

Lynehing of n Child Murderer-Abject
Appeals for Mercy.

We have before briefly mentioned the
lynching of Meard, or Meara. the child
murderer. A more extended report appears
day, which follows:
CHICAGO, July 9.-The following are the
particulars of the lynching of Meara, the
child murderer, at Watseka, Illinois, on
Wednesday last:
hundred, led by DR.. Daniels, of Orange
When they demanded the prisoner the
sheriff refused to give him mp, and, upon
Daniels attempting to enter, discharged his
revolver at him. Daniels struck up his
arm. and wrenched his pistol from his hand
The crowd then, with a sledge hammer
battered down the door of the cell where
Meara was confined The poor wretch
begged for mercy, but nobody gave heed
pinioned his arms, and carried him into the
street. Dr. Daniels then addressed the
crowd, saying that he had sworn not to
return home until the murderer was exc
cuted, and asked the crowd it they would
stand by him. All responded in the affir-
native. Meara was then placed in a wagon
which was drawn by the crowd to tree
a short distance from the jail. A rope was
placed around his neck, the other end at
JdcHeu 10 JHo lIlnU OI lHe Tree, au0 lie was
told he might have twenty minutes in which
10 prepare for eternity.
He spent the first half of his time in pite-
Gus appeals for mercy. While doing this
he was dsrided by many of the crowd. One
man offered to pray with him, but he re-
piled that he could not pray without
priest. de then called upon the Masons
present to keep him. but none responded,
and he cursed the Masons. He then called
upon the Catholics to rescue him. One of
them shouted, Call on God, He alone can
save you" He prayed during the remain
ing moments.
At the expiration of twenty minutes the
wagon vas pulled from under him, and he
was left hanging At first not ii muscle
moved, but in few seconds his struggles
became fearful. The crowd then disap-
peared, but, before doing so, several brutal
fellows discharged their revolvers into his
body. About one thousand persons wit
messed the hanging. The leaders of the
lynching party did their work iI quiet
and orderly manner, but many of the
crowd betrayed brutality in speech and
gesture.
No movement has yet been made looking
TO the punishment of the lynchers.

Pursuit of an Escaped Convict.

We copy this from the IefTebOnne Ban
ner:
Considerable excitement was created
among some of our officers of the law on
Thursday by a prisoner i'll Jail making his
escape. The details are as follows:
Last Sunday difficulty took place at
Mr.. Porche's plantation, ON Bayou Black,
between two colored men, one of whom
got shot in the face. The name of the one
who did the shooting is Simon Lewis, and
the one who was shot is Charles Nels on, an
escaped convict. Lewis came and made an
affidavit against Nelson for assault and
battery on Sunday, and Nelson came in on
Thursday and made an affidavit against
Lewis for shooting him with intent to kill.
While Judge JohnstOne was making out
the affidavit, having learned that Nelson
had escaped from the Penitentiary, he sent
Tor the deputy sheriff, who went up to the
Judges office and secured Nelson and took
him to Jail, but his Incarceration was very
bret, for short time afterward the dep
uty sheriff and Mr.. Hitler went to the Jail
to give Nelson something to eat. AS soon
as he received his meal he threw the plate
one side and made rush for the door of
the jail. Mr. Hitler, seeing this, grabbed
him and did all he could to secure him, but
Nelson being very powerful and desper-
ate man put Mr.. Hitler one side and
knocked the deputy sherlH down and got
out and ran ike a deer for the woods.
Mr.. Hitler shot at him while running
but being excited, missed him. There Is
no doubt he Is the man who escaped from
the penitentiary, as the marks on him, and
size, complexion, etc., correspond exactly
with the description sent by the detectives
in New Orleans some months ago to our
officers here. We hope they will catch
up with him ere long, and bring him to
justice.
We have come to the conclusion that his
chances for better world are good, be-
cause where he can get out he can get in,
by knocking the door keeper down. So we

We copy the subjoined dispatch from the
Louisville Courier-Jour,,aI, of Monday:
New YORK, July 9.-Five persons were
| killed and fifteen wounded i'll the Newark
| railroad disaster yesterday.
William Thompson, brakeman, who left
the switch misplaced. and caused the acci-
dent, was arrested last night and lodged in
Newark city prison. He has been in the
employ of the company nine years, and
was always thought most Trustworthy man.
The railroad company loses 100000 by
the accident, which is the first one of i'm

by jumping into the ditch. but hoped to
save my engine and train, and hung o."
ACCOUNT OF THE COLLISION BY AN EYE
WITNESS.
The following is description of the acci-
dent by an eyewitness. In a marshy field,
not forty feet from the track, Theodore
Wilson and George Jasons were moving,
and the terrible scene was enacted almost
over their heads, they being, with two ex-
ceptions, the only eye-witnesses of it.
Wilson says: II was moving with my back
turned when heard the Plainfeld whstling
furiously, and turning, saw her train ap-
preaching the switch at high speed, the
Aurora then being distant about one hun
dred yards toward the river. | suddenly
saw pieces of wood fly out of the tender of
the Plainfeld, and then the engine itself
began bouncing over the sleepers. The
motion of the train was like three Jumps
the whistle screaming furiously all the
while, and the jolting on the sleepers max
ing such a noise that it was heard at my
fathers house, half mile off / hardly
had time to realize the danger before train
No , came rushing up, and the two came
together with a sound like thunder, both
boilers bursting simultaneously. The en-
gines seemed to stand on their hinder
wheels, and plow into each ether twenty
feet up in the air. The smoke and steam
reaching out almost obscured the view, but
the Aurora could be seen to balance in the
air second, and then came crushing into
the ditch, the tender shooting over from
behind and falling on top of her with a
fearful smash, shaking house half mile
distant. The Plainfield stood almost erect
in the air, and her tender and heavily
loaded passenger cars came smashing up
against her as if they would tear them
selves to pieces. The sides, doors and
roofs seemed to fly into million pieces.

A Life ThraMn Away.

We learn from the Mobile Tribune that
MIR. John A Brady, for two years following
the war local editor of the Mobile Tribune.
Times Register and AdUertiser, and since
then connected with the press of New Or
leans, died in that city on Sunday last of
consumption, and that his funeral took
place on Monday afternoon.
Mr. Brady was one Of the few decidedly
good reporters, and exeelled alike in report
ing public meetings or police events. But
he had weakness, and no one knew it bet
ter tFan himself. as a document now before
the writer of this, in the form of pledge to
abstain from all Intoxicating liquors for the
period of one year, solemnly signed and
sworn to before one of the city recorders,
most fully attests. This pledge was made
Immediately after the adjournment of the
Louisiana Legislature, when Mr.. Brady had
received small gratuity, voted by the Gen
eral Assembly to reporters in that body.
But, alas for human frailty, he lacked the
nerve to adhere to that good resolution, and
running through the small sum he received,
inebriation. want, exposure speedily led to
consumption, which ended in an early
death.
Mr. Brady was during the war field cor
respondent of the New York Herald He
was nephew of the late Hon. James T.
Brady, and native of New York city.
His lamentable fate should be a warning
to others of the same profession, who,
although most excellent reporters aud
estlmable gentlemen, plunge themselves
into the dread abyss of intemperance and
thus render their lives failure, while other
wise they might be brilliant ornaments of
society and might adorn the profession for
which they are so aptly fitted.

On the question of paving the streets c

On the question of paving the streets of
Houston, the Times says:
The proposals made by gentlemen from
New Orleans to pave one or more of our
principal thOroughfares with asphaltum has
been the common theme of conversation
during the week, and it is pleasing to see
the interest with which the heaviest tax
payers regard the project. The fact that
the patent asphalt which it is intended to
use has proven eminently successful in New
Orleans, gives assurance that the same sat
isfactory results would attend its introduc-
ton here.
1t is expected that Alderman Love will
make his report 80 the Board of Aldermen
this evening, and it is probable that some
official action will be taken in regard to the
immediate commencement of operations,
provided satisfactory arrangement can be
made with the gentlemen now here for the
purpose of treating with the corporation.
From what we CLEAN from exchanges and
the opinions we hear expressed by scientific
gentlemen, we have no doubt but asphaltum
pavement will be found cheap and effective,
if not the cheapest that may be proposed,
while for sidewalks it is almost universally
conceded to be superior to all other material
used for the purpose.
