A correspondent of Galignani writing from
Naples gives the following!
"The public interest is much awakened by the
trial Of Crocco DOnatel, which is now going
forward at Potenza, the capital fthe Basilicata.
1t will occupy several weeks il is supposed; but
| will anticipate the final result and give you
sketch Of one of the most boOd-thirsty chiefs in
the annals of bngaudage. Crocco is now forty
three years of age, was a shepherd by calling,
and can read and write. Before he was twenty
two years OF age he associated himself with
band oil mlscreants and tor crimes committed III
1S52-1S53 he was arrested, and in 1855 condemn
ed to nineteen years in irons. On the 18th OF
July, 1856, he, however, attempted to escape
from his prison in irindis, but, though he failed
then, he succeeded in 1885, and passed the winter
in the impenetrable woods of Monticello. Con-
Meeting himself with two other fellows, he COM
mitted, as he acknowledges, many crimes, and
at last, in the revolutionary movement
then commencing, Joined the volunteers
of the Basilicata against the Bourbons.
Under the command of Captain Urcumenni,
whom | knew well afterwards as most zeal
Gus prosecutor of the brigands, Crocco Joined
the troops of Garibaldi, who had come up from
the Calabras, and following the general entered
Naples. Disappointed in his expectations, soon
after this he again took TO the woods and joined
the party of reaction. Eight hundred muskets
with ammunition, and eight hundred red repub-
lican caps, were supplied TO them, and under

a CURIOUS PRESIDENTIAL BETA few DAYS
since one of the Baltimore delegates to the Gin
clnnati convention encountered a very enthusi-
asuc republican, and bantered him for bet on
the presidency He offered to make an even bet
on the result but the republican told him he
regarded the election of Gen. Grant a matter of
SO much certainty that he could not think of
making such a bet, but that if he desired to
make wager on the number of states that Gen
Grant would carry, he was ready to meet him.
Inc bet he proposed was that he would wager
$500 that he could name twenty-five states
winch Gen. Grant would carry, and $500 that
he would carry a majority of the remainder of
the states. Two hundred and fifty dollars was
agreed upon as forfeiture, and the Greeeyite
went TO legal friend to borrow the money
VINO furnished 1t, agreeing to take half the
bet, regarding it as a sure investment The
terms OF the wager were duly recorded and wit
messed, ana the forfeiture put up on both Sides
All the premlnaries being thus arranged the
republican proceeded to make out his list of
twenty-five states which Grant would carry
including among them Delaware, MARYLAND,
Kentucky, Virginia, New York. Pennsylvania
Georgia. and all the states generally REGARDED
as rather doubtful. A shout of exultation ON
the part OF the challenger greeted the exhibit.

~ he was Outwitted. The remaining states
including Massachusetts, Maine. Vermont
Connecticut, &c. a large majority of which are
certain to 60 for Grant, rendered that branch
oil the wager sure thing for the republican. II
now dawned upon the mind of the Greeleyite
that Il he consummated the bet he might win
the 500, but that he was certain to lose the
$1,000. The stakeholder being confident that no
more money would be put up on that venture

Mr.. Stuart is shrewd man, and in making a
Thorough investigation" he, no doubt, learned
all the facts in regard to Hartranfts conduct;
he is also conscientious man, if that can be
said of any one, and nothing would induce him
to say what he did not know to be true The
people of Pennsylvania know him aud will be-
lieve him. 1t IS, of course, possible that General
Hartranft might, in a general way be hypo-
critic and knave, and still retain the confidence
of an upright and capable man like Mr.. Stuart;
but it is not credible that, in regard to
these particular matters to which his atten-
ton and inquiries have been particularly
directed Mr. Stuart should now be deceived. If
the people of Pennsylvania are convinced Of
this, as they must be, how will they respond to
this wicked conspiracy to blast an honorable
mans reputation, to crafty personal rancor and
political partisanship? Their answer ought to
and we trust will be 10 elect Hartranft by the
full vote of his party, and some thousands more
of indignant democrats, who. repudate the in
iquitous scheme of fraud and calumny in which
their leaders have involved themselves.
