The Franco-American says: 1t was
the 24th of March that Marshal dHil-
liers was to submit his report Of the
Bazaine investigation to the President
of the Republic. Marshal Bazaine was
on the stand for two days. He attempt
ed to throw the responsibility of the dis
asters at Metz on the generals acting
under his orders, but, as a general thing,
be was not very successful in his recrim-
nations. For instance, when before
the commission, he asserted that Mar
shal Canrobert had left Saint Privos
without orders on the day Of the battle
Marshal Bazaine is Mistaken" /" simply
replied Canrob6rt, and without any fur
ther denial, the Marshal quietly drew
from his notebook the order written
and signed by the commander of the
army of Metz, and handed tito the com
mission. 1t is needless to say that Ba-
zaine's faulty memory in connection
with events Of such Importance, created
great deal of surprise on the part O
the investigators. kf

RALEIGH, n. c., April IL, lS72.-Ra-

great excitement over q shooting af7Fay
to-day between two well known sport

and ]. Bryan. A feud Of long standing
the result Of some gambling transac-

to-day they encountered each other on
Fayetteville street, where they had a re-
sort to pistols with view to settle their
difficulties. Bryan opened the ball and
missed his game; but Wooding, more
fortunate, while acting on the defensive,
returned the fire, and shot Bryan in the
abdomen
An immense crowd collected almost
instantaneousIy and the greatest excite
ment prevailed, as both the men Were
known to be resolute and determined
Brvan's wound is considered fatal.
. Wooding was arrested, and, after an
examination, was discharged, on tht
ground Of justifiable shooting.

Mobile and Ohio
/ The Mobile Register announces that
/ the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company
have made arrangements for the extern
sion of this great thlOroughfare to Cairo,
! Illinois, thus filing up the gap which
has hitherto existed between their north
ern terminus and the Illinois railroad
system centering at Cairo. This extern
sion will complete a close all-rail con-
neetion between Mobile and Chicago,
and other cities Of the West lying north
of the Ohio river. The Mobile and Ohio
Railroad Company have long been de
sirous of making this very important
extension, but the undertaking involves
a larger expenditure than they have
heretofore felt justified in assuming. We
congratulate the company on this addi-
tlonal evidence of their prosperity, and
the travelling public on the prospects of
an early termination of the tedious
mboattransitb between Columbus and
Cairo.

DEALING WITH SLANDERERS

After months Of insinuation, The NeU- York
Times has not even yet plucked up courage
enough to present TO its readers its hbelous
arraignment of Senator FentOn. An election
eering sheet, however, issued yesterday from
its Office, does contain the long threatened
attack. 1t proves even less important and more
virulently libelous than we had expected. Its
two main accusations are, list, that Reuben
Z. Fenton, when boy of eighteen, was arrested
for theft, and released on confession, without
trial; and I'd, that he accepted as SEN
ator a bribe of $4,000 from o. B. Latham,
three-fourths of which he subsequently re-
funded. Both are old and utterly exploded
calumnies. We have and for some time have
had in our possession documentary evidence,
establishing the absolute falsity of both.
1t is true that O. B. Latham, on the solicita-
ton of the man Manley, paid him $4,000 as an
acknowledgment of Senator Fenton's work in
procuring the passage Of his just claim 1t is
true that Senator Fenton, as soon as he heard
of it, took the money from Manley, rebuked
him for getting it, and told him it must be
instantly returned. 1t is true that at the
first moment when he could see Latham
he did return it, All the rest of the story is
false. Here is a letter from o. B. Latham
himself, written two years ago, when the
foiled blackmailer, Manley, first procured a
partial publication of his libel, and at time
when Latham was Senator Fenton's earnest
political opponent:
ALBANY, Aug. 13, 1870.
SENATOR FESToS-Dedr Sir: have seen the article in
The Ne York Sun Of the inst Communication from
JAMESTOWN. in which am referred to- &c. heard
more than Year ago that Mr. Manley was saying some
thing deroeatory to you in this connection and ad-
dressed you letter speaking of your prompt and honor
able conduct in the matter II cannot be necessary to
indicate you from such an aspersion but take
pleasure IN saying that the money referred to-
the two thousand dollars-which / paid to Manley
without your knowledge, returned to me
by you. every dollar. as soon as you could see me-
within two or three days think. Ibeeved at the time
and si believe. that you learned in regard
to Manleys dongs got the money OF his posses
sion, and at once notified me, and returned the same.
Your action was open and honorable. and you are at
liberty TO make any Of this you may deem proper to
refute and correct the inslnuations or slander.
Very truly yours, ..i.. o. B. LATHAM.
In the same way, it is true that Gov. Fenton,
when boy of eighteen, was arrested in AL
baDy, on charge of theft was confined In
Jail from Saturday night till Monday morning,
and was then, absolutely released, it being
shown that there was no ground of arrest
1t is not true that he committed O theft. 1t
is not true that he confessed it. 1t is not
true that he was released on prom
ise not to be caught again In such
crime. The whole case rests on an affidavit
