Persecution of the Jews.

The powers of this world once more
turn their attention to the Jews.
They are to be re-regulated in Algeria,
that is, their liberties, due to M.
CIimieux, are to be restricted in de-
ference to the noble savage of the
country, to whom Jewish Industry and
Jewish peacefulness are very offensive.
In rather better spirit their affairs
are being taken up now also in Prus
sia, where, ever since 1847, the date
of that famous =" landtag," they have
been divided into synagogal communi-
ties with some sort of shadowy auton-
omy Several attempts to place their
affairs on a somewhat more statisfac-
/ tory basis have hitherto failed under
the auspices of the Cultus minister.
This time, however, some recognized
authorities belonging to their own
body have been invited to report and
to propose plans for the amehoration
of the status quo; and as Herr Won
Muller will probably require long
rest after his return from the waters,
some steps in advance may probably
be taken shortly.
At the same time Russian statesmen
are deliberating ON the future position
of the Jews in the Russian empire.
Before 1861 no Jew was permitted to
domicile in Central Russia, nor was he
allowed to enter Russian territory with
ont special permit and whenever
he wanted to stay more than twenty
four hours at a place, he had to pay a
heavy price for the indulgence. Since
1861 all Russia has been opened to
them, and-the question of finally re-
gulating their position in the empire
proves to be one of no little difficulty.
A project of a law has already been
laid before the imperial council, but
no decision has been arrived at as yet.
The Schleiseke ZeituRg tells story
apropos of the debates there, which is
not only apoeryphal, but has done
duty on at least dozen occasions,
though it has never, perhaps, been
told SO circumstantially. When in
1851, it became Il question of existence
or non-existence with the Jews in Po-
land, Count Bludow, the president OF
the imperial council, received, the day
| was W SOltS OlIt q
deputation consisting of three Jewish
bankers from Warsaw.
The count had made it a condition
that the deputation was to speak as
fttle as possible. They arrived, put
a small parcel upon the table, and de-
parted. Next day, at the council
Bludow had the present emperor al
his right hand. The councillors fol
two hours debated in the warmest
manner, but Bludow had not spoken
one word. His imperial neighbor theT
said to him: "Well, Ivan Ivanowich
have you nothing to say 7" Where
upon Bludow rose, showed the packet
and pointed to an inscription upon il
to the following effect +" Fifteen thou.

Sandal-wood was formerly obtained
by the East India Company in large
quantities from the Fejee Islands. As
many as seven large Indiamen have
been known to be lying at anchor in
one of the bays at once, waiting for
cargoes of the precious wood. The
trees have been felled with such reek-
less improvidence that, on the shores
of this same bay, a solitary sapling,
planted by missionary, is now the
only living sandal-tree for many miles
around.

Murder and Robbery.

We reproduce this from the Plant
ers' Banner, published at New Iberia,
Louisiana:
Last Friday, at half-past six o'clock,
in the afternoon, the dead body OF an
itinerant map and picture peddler,
was discovered in the road, near DIR.
McGuire's place, below Jeannerette,
in the parish of st. Mary. Our in
formant saw the body, and says that
death was caused by a gunshot or
pistol wound, just behind the left ear,
and that it must have been instanta=
neous. A short time before the body
was discovered, the peddler had beeH
seen in conversation with negro
man who wore gray clothes, and a
white hat, and it is supposed that this
negro is the murderer. The peddler
had been seen with silver watch
and money, which were missing when
his body was found. His pockets
were turned inside out, and his person
exposed as though search had been
made for a money belt, such as are,
worn underneath the clothing, around
the body.
The dead man had ON an iron grey
shirt, dark gray clothes, black felt hat,
and is supposed to have been about
thirty five years old. Near the body
was found brown oyercoat, tied up
with string, which disappeared dur
ing the night, while the body remain
ed lying in the road awaiting the arri-
val of the coroner. An inquest was
held on Saturday, hut no clue to the
perpetrator of the murder was OBJ
tanned.
No papers or articles were found ON
the person that gave any clue to the
name or residence of the murdered
man.
Considerable excitement exists be-
low Jeannerette, in the neighborhood
where the map peddler was murdered
and robbed last Friday. 1t is thought
that number Of desperate men who
have escaped from different parish
prisons recently, are secreted in the
swamps in that vicinity, and a raid by
them is feared at any time.
Since the above was written, we
learn from a reliable gentleman that
last Sunday morning a negro boy was
stopped at the point where the mur-
der of last Friday took place, and
robbed of fifteen cents by three negro
men, whom he recognized as Richard,
the murderer who escaped from the
Franklin jail; Charles, who escaped
from our Jail, while under the sen
tence of five years in the Penitentiary
for burglary, and one-armed negro,
who formerly belonged to NJ. Sorrel,
accompanied by a white man, sup
posed to be Abshire, who recently
escaped from the Jail in this parish.
As soon as the boy was released he
gave the alarm, and Immediately the
whole neighborhood was aroused, and
about two hundred citizens, white and
black, are hunting for this band OF
desperadoes with the determination
to find and bring them to justice.

1t is no joke that Greeley is candi-
date for the Presidency. He and his
hackers are in terrible earnest. The
Chicago Tribune Radical) says:
II NAV as well be recognized first as
last that Horace Greeley is in the field
as candidate for President OF the
limited States, and that, while his quail
fcations for the wise performance OF the
duties of the office are not the best, his
availability as candidate is the ques-
tion most likely to determine the figure
he will cut in the approaching canvass.
There are some peculiar workings OF our
democratic system of nominating and
electing candidates which render them
much more favorable to the election OF
men like Greeley than to the choice OF
wiser and better men.
The World, commenting on this, says;
1t is not to be disguised that the candi-
dacy of Horace Greeley for the Presi-
dency is taking hold of the Republican
masses in a way that troubles and dis
concerts the mere politicians and wire
pulling managers of the party. That he
is an inconceivably better representative
of all the ideas of his party than General
Grant, or indeed than any of the dozen
candidates for whose creation and pre-
servation the Tribune is more than half
responsible, is too clear to need proof.
But it is not wholly this reason which
has given such unexpected impetus to
the movement started by the Texas
journey, the derision of carpet-baggers,
the tribute to General Lee, and the Liver

Mr.. Bergh, of New York, is beginning
now to look after cases of cruelty to
children. On Saturday morning last, at
his instance, woman named Marianne
Larkins was brought before the Special
Sessions, in New York, to answer a
chage of brutally whipping little girl
named Emily Thompson. The Judge
decided that there was evidence enough
to convict the defendant, but that if he
was to send her to the penitentiary il
would deprive the child of the only natu.
raj protector she had at present. He
would only suspend sentence, however,
in the hope that the woman would cease
from her criminal conduct in future.

cents something, or rejects something,
or departs somewhere, or stands sullenly
still. One or the other Of these things
must be done, else the very worst VIII
come. But, alasl those who clamor
to depart, and those who swear
they will stand still, do not seem to know
in what direction 70 so, or upon what
place to stand. Those who wish to ac-
cept something have no well defined idea
of the thing to be accepted, and those
who refuse to accept have no clear con-
ception of the COMPOUNDED thing they
will not have. This is melancholy
state of affairs; and yet melancholy as
It is, confused as it rises upon the sur
face Of politics, it is almost matter
of certainty that the next Presiden-
tial race track will run right through
it. But time may do wonders. Perhaps
our politicians may learn little by
cropping about in the chaos, with lamps
properly trimmed and glasses properly
wiped. Meantime the enemy is jubilant.
He sees the confusion, notes the rents in
the ranks of the befogged masses, and is
preparing to charge right through them.
All this may be only an illusion, but it is
n very dangerous one. AS the great
hive of Democracy is about to swarm, it
had better settle as soon as possible and
leave the drones to themselves.

nrArH or MAJOR poNELsON.

Major Andrew Jackson Donelson, one
of the last of the old Romans, breathed
away a great and useful life yesterday at
twenty minutes past eight o'clock, at the
Peabody Hotel. MajG, Donelson was
born in Sumner county, in this State,
and died at the ripe age of seyenty-two
years, after filling many public positions
with ability and fidelity. He graduated
at West Point in 1922, served with Cen
eral Jackson in his Indian wars, was his
private secretary when he was President,
was Minister to Prussia, assisted in the
annexation of Texas, was editor OF the
Washington Union during Folks Ad-
ministration, and ran on the Fillmore
ticket for Vice President in 1886. This
is about the sum of his public life. Like
his private life, it is without stain. He
was a nephew OF General Jackson's vile,
and was a member of the Jackson family
until the death of the General. Major
Donelson was man of fine intellect and
great decision of character. With superior
literary accomplishments, he possessed
strong sense, and was eminentlN practi-
cal. He knew as well how to rule a
State, to negotiate treaty, as to raise a
bale of cotton and conduct the details
of a farm. He was very earnest in
all he undertook, and rarely failed
There was a serious, almost melancholy
side to his nature. The other was hu-
morous, gay and delightful. His person
was noble, his manner easy, and his
conversation at all times entertaining.
He belonged to the old stock OF
men. treasured their deeds in memory
s;ngularly retentive, and chung to their
principles to the last. His misfortunes
and sorrows were great, and his heart
has bled many and many time, but he
always rallied back to the sunshine and
resumed his step in the march of life as
a great, brave soul should. The loss of
such man is no ordinary event. 1t is
one of those calamities that leave void
SO peculiar that nothing on earth can fill

torical characters, and his name will 60

ciated with the glory ofAndrew Jackson.

Crops tn ono sonth.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-Late
reports from all parts of Georgia give
more discouraging accounts of the cot
ton crop than any heretofore received.
The long continued rains have left the
crops so uncommonly grassy it is al
most impossible to rescue them.
The alarming condition Of the cotton
crop has also caused much of the corn
to be neglected, consequently the pros
poets of good corn crop are not very
good. The same may be said of cotton
and corn crops in all portions of the
Gulf States that have been visited by
heavy rains.
