AN OUTRAGEOUS MURDER!-We learn.
from reliable source, intelligence as to
a horrible murder which was committed,
on Tuesday night last, upon the plnnta-
ton Of Trial Justice W. L. ". Riley.
The victim was colored man, named
John Perry. The perpetrators are un-
known. The facts are these: On Tues
Gay night last, about IL o'clock, four
white men visited the place Of Mr.. Riley.
They first wen. to the house of Reubin
Jamison, colored man, and demanded
that he should take them to the house Of
John Perry. Jamison was frightened,
and, of course, obeyed the command Of
the midnight assassin. Just as they
nearad the house Of the deceased, be. in
the meantime, getting tho alarm, ran
out OF the baok door. Before he got
far from his house, he received two or
three loads Of buck k-shot in his back,
which killed him instantly. Trial Jus.
tice Riley summoned jury of inquest,
and verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts. What caused these u.s.
sassips to thus murder respectable and
inoffensive citizen, we forbear to conjec-
tnre until we receive further Intelligence.
Our informants tell ns that Perry was an
industrious and hard working man, aud
never did any one an injury.

Among the many sad features OF the
terrible ferry boat explosion in New
York, is that involved in the almost en-
tire determination Of several families OF
three or more persons, who were pnssen-
gers on the boat at the time. In ut least
two cases, the list of the dead md in.
jured shows that father, mother and
children were oil either killed outright,
or were 80 wounded or scalded that reco.
very will be impossible. Coming so
soon upon the excitement caused in New
York by the recent riot, the details OF
this sickening tragedy of the Westfield
have produced profound and painful
impression in that city. A calamity of
this kind, which appears to have been
the result of criminal negligence and
official incompetency combined, rather
than OF mere chance, which could net
be guarded against. is not Without its
value. dear-bought though it be, If it
should compel closer and more faithful
observance of their duties by boiler id.
speotors and by engineers and Others
who have the destructive monster OF
steam in charge. Doubtless some good
effect, in the way OF investigation into
the condition of other boats, will follow
this fearful, and, as it seems, criminal
loss Of life.

chased the Wayne plantation at this

ETC. Mr.. Haynes admirable tulents are
evlnced not only in the fact o: his pros
perlfy, but in the rapidity with which
he acquired it. He came here after the
close OF the war very poor man, and
Tor a good long time was occupied as the
teacher OF negro school in tho woods
beyond Catfish Swamp. But, turning
his attention to politics, lie has in the
space OF about threo years got upon The

large results. MNrion Crescent,

FLORIDA. The Radical thieves sqneal
terribly at'theprospect Of being uhoked
off from the necks of the people. Tbs
Jacksonville Union is greatly alarmed by
the project of o State TaxPnyers' Con-
vention, the sole object of which is to
devise ways aud means of saving the
property of the people and driving out
the rogues who are plundering them.
A Republican property-holdor isas much

holder, and no honest Republican can
suffer from the movement. The Union
has tight grip upon the public trea-
sury, and is feathering It's neat out of the

France.


Tbs. late elections in France present o
strange phenomenon; the Government
is sustained, and apparently the people
OF France are good Republicans. No
one who knows anything of the political
views of tho French people can believe
for moment that those views are cor
rectly represented by the late decision at
the polls. tits notorious that there .are
four parties among them the. Bourbon
ists, the OrlenniHts, the Napoleonists,
and the Republicans. These again are
all spiit.into cliques, especially the last,
which embraces men, Of every shade Of
political ideas. from the very moderate,
who we're always good supporters Of the
Orleanist dynasty, to the wretohes who
harangue the internationally. and whose
main dependence for reforming Trance
and the whole world is petroleum.
Thiers is just now at the head of the
Government. and is probably the best
man who could occupy that position.
He is q man who has always supported q
constitutional monarchy rs near as pos
sible, framed upon the model Of that of
England. With such d record during q
long life, Of course his present profes-
sions of attachment to,a republic are all
humbug, and they are 30 regarded by
the French people. Then, why has his
Government sailing under false colors
been 30 well supported? The answer is
plain. Theirs is the representative Of
the Orleans party, the one which con-
tains.t the larger portion of the merchants,
bankers and manufacturers Of the. re.
public (23 This party is also as firm n
supporter OF law and order Us the Bour-
bonistor Napoleonist. Therefore these
last two have for the present agreed to
support Theirs and his government, in
order to keep down the bloody Com
mune; while the moderate Republicans
do SO for the same reasons, A very large
majority OF the people of France, ac-
cordingly. appear to endorse govern
ment which is the fret choice OF only
about twenty. per cent. Of. the voters
it even OF 30 many as this, fraction.
This shows the good sense of tile cleo
tors-o rather of their leaders-to ao
oept the situation, and not. by attempt
ing to put this or that faotion in power,
to plunge the whole country into another
revolution. Yet such a state Of things
is, in its nature, temporary; and when
thepresent political pressure shall have
been removed, we shall see the old par.
tisan animosities revive. and no one can
now divine what will be the result. The
probability is that, for many; years to
come, France will be in condition not
to-: give uneasiness to any Of tho other
nations Of Europe. Nevertheless, so
terrible have been the many disasters,
suffered by yielding to the ambition Of
party leaders, that we hope her people
will be careful in future. not to ba drawn
into another contest, but turn their at
tention to developing the resources OF
their most beautiful country; by which
course alone oan France again hope to
become great. end powerful.

The italian journals at Rome are ex-
erciaed with approximations of war with
France on account Of the attitude OF the
latter on the papal question. The re-
moyal Of tho Italian capital to Rome is
regarded asa rash step, and one that will
make retreat the more disgraceful should
1t become necessary. The situation is a
portentous one, though, both Govern-
nents still profess the most pacific inten.
tions and profound consideration for
each other. Still it would not be aston.

THE EMPEROR AND THE QUEEN.
From the N. Y. Post March 2Sth.


The cable reports that Napoleon, the
Ex-Emperor of France, yesterday visited
Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. It is
not likely that the details of the inter
view will ever be made public. The
interviewing" reporter who would at
tempt to be present at the scene would
probably get no nearer than the outside
wall Of the castle. a
1t Is, howeves, easy to imagine that Che
visit must have been rather exciting
incident to both the hostess and her
guest Napoleon cannot forget his last
visit TO England nearly a score of years
ago, when he had Just made himself
master of France by an act of wholesale
murder, when he was welcomed to Lon
don by obsequious municipal officials
and by acclamations Of curious and not
unfriendly multitude Then he received
the freedom of the city Of London. At
Windsor Castle he was made a Knight
of he Order of the Garter, and was well
coined as the leading man of Europe and
the head of the most powerful continen-
tai nation. This, indeed, was the first of
the many personal triulnphs which this
remarkable adyenturer was destined to
enjoy
a few years later, Queen Victoria re-
turned his visit, and Paris welcomed amid
dazzling festivities the monarch of Eng
land. The example of the Queen was
soon followed and the Sultan of Turkey,
the King of Prussia and the Car Of Rus
STA were in turn the guests of Napoleon.
The minor king and plincelings of Eu-
rope focked to Paris, To behold the glories
OF the hew empire. The King of italy, how
ever, always held aloof, though if any
monarch had cause for gratitude to Ma
poleon it was he. The Queen of Spain,
aVerse to travel, kept away until she be-
came al exile without throne land then
she fastened TO Paris to bask in the sun
shine ofimperialism. -
Queen Victoria will, of course,
have too much tact to ask the
eX Emperor to what biSiness
ness in life the ex-Imperial Prince will
now devote himself; and Napoleon GER
tainly will not be rude enough to hint at
the possible spread of the revolutionary
spirit TO Eng gland and the contingent
dangers to the Guelph dynasty He cam
