The Policy of the Government.

Tne fOIIcy Oh Inc Governments
LONDON, July 25.-The Times Paris specia
says: "The government consented to a re
cess, because it hopes, before the Assembly
meets again, to prepare a new cOnstitu
tiOnal bill, for which it can in the meantim,
secure the support of majority. The gov
eminent hesitated to commit itself fully Il
the bill reported from the Committee O
thirty by NJ. Ventavon, because it was SURF
to be rejected"
In the House of Commons.
In the House of Commons, this evening
Disraeli announced that the land transfer
the judicature and the endowed school bills
would be withdrawn and Parliament pro
rogued on the eighth of August. Russell
asked whether the government had made
any remonstrance to France against the
cOnnivance of her authorities in the viola
ton of the Spanish frontier by the Carlsts
He especially referred TO the rumOrs that
the French government had interfered with
Spain in a manner contrary to the friendly
relations of the law Of nations; that the
Carlists escaping into France, instead OF
being returned, had been furnished with
passports and permitted to cross and re-
cross the frontier. He urged that, in &C.
cordance with an ordinary custom due from
one civilized nation to another, there should
be no unnecessary delay in the formal
Great Britain.
Derby replied that Spain had not asked
England to interfere; he considered the
recognition of the Spanish government at
present premature; when the time arrived
1t would be better such recognition should
be collective.
Germany Trying to Stop Cnrlfst Supplies.
A special from Berlin says it is reported
that the German government is maxim e
strenuous efforts to stop the supplies,
weapons and money being furnished the
Carlsts, and has called the attention of the
Versailles government to the subject.
Postponed.
PARIS, July 25.-The consideration of
constitutional bills has been postponed
until after the recess, and motion that the
Assembly after voting on the budget be
prorOeued until January 5, 1875, has been
declared urgent by a vote of 1876 to 30S.
German Squadron Ordered to the Spanish
Coast.
BERLIN, July 25.-The North German
Gazette saws: The German squadron, now
of Rye, England, has been ordered to
cruise of the Northern coast Of Spain
These orders were given in consequence of
the shooting of Captain Schmidt, German
newspaper correspondent, and three Ger
man subjects, by the Carliss
German Representatives mt Brussels.
General Won Vergets Rhe,z will repre-
sent Germany in the Brussels Congress.
He will be assisted by general officers of
the Bavarian army, major from the Saxon
general staff and the distinguished jnrist
professor. Bluntaschli. General Vergets

Killing.

On Friday evening last Gaines Story and
G. j. Reese left Trenton, after having done
some trading, to 90 to their homes, about
sixteen miles west OF the Ouachita river.
They were seen together at various points
on the route; the OK team belonging to
Reese, but Story driving most of the time.
About two o'clock that night, a colOred
man, living on Mr.. A. CalhOuD's place, on
the Vernon road, was called out by Reese,
who told him that he wanted wound
dressed, and that he had killed Story. After
getting his wound (only a slight scratch)
washed and dressed, he induced couple OF
colored men to go with him to the place.
about half mile distant, where he had
killed Story. He wanted them to stay with
him by the body, but they. becoming IN
easy, ran away from him. Reese then left
the body lying in the road, and continued
driving west, stopping at various houses
and telling the people what he had done.
About day break the people in the neigh
borhood began to gather about the place
where the body was found, and on exam
ination showed that there were no less than
sixteen wounds inflicted with knife, be-
sides the skull being crushed in with an
ak.
A possee soon started after Reese, aud a
warrant being procured in Lincoln parish,
he was Overtaken and lodged in Jail in
Vienna, where he now remains awaiting
the call Of our sheriff.
We have heard no reason assigned for
this bloody deed. Both OF the men were
married. Story was raised in this parish,
and tarmed near the place be was killed.
Reese was wagoniDg, and is reported TO
have been in this parish only about year
having come from MissIsslppi.-Nonroe

An Important Railroad Decision.

A decision involving very important prin-
ciples was rendered in the United States
Circuit Court on the twenty-first instant, at
Chicago, by Judge Drummond, in the case
OF the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com
pany against the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad Company. The telegraph
company, accepting the act of Congress Of
July "a. 1866, entitled IAN act to aid in
erecting lines and secure to the government
the use Of the same for postal, military and
other purposes" began the construction of
line along the route of the Rock Island
railroad, between Chicago and Omaha. The
railroad company ordered the telegraph
company to desist after few poles had
been set; therefore the telegraph company
applied TO the United States Circuit Court
for an injunction restraining the railroad
company from interfering with the con-
struction of their line, claiming that as
the Rock Island road carries the United
States mail it was q post road, and came
under the provisions of the act of 1866.
The railroad company claimed that the
act in question applied only to roads
traversing the public domain; that the right
of way which had been condemned and
purchased by the railroad company under
State laws. was the property of the railroad
of the constitution could not be taken with
out compensation.
Judge Drummond, in his decision, held
that the act Of July "a, 1866; limits the
powers therein conferred to such military
and post roads of the United States as are
owned and exclusively controlled by the
government; that the act does not include
railroads which have been designated as
post routes by other acts of Congress, over
which the government exercises no control,
but simply contracts for the carriage of the
mails of the United States; that neither un-
der the act of 1866, nor under any other
act, can Congress take or authorize the
taking of the private property of a railroad
corporation, for the purpose of erecting and
maintaining telegraph line, without COM
pensation for the franchise SO sought to be
granted
