The virginius Affair-Spain Demands In.
demnity Our Government Refuses
Probable Resort to Arbitration.
It has been ascerta;ned from a reliable
source that Spain, instead of carving
into effect the understanding of the Fish
Polo protocol, namely: to investigate the
conduct of those of her authorities who
have infringed Spanish laws or treaty obli-
cations, and TO punish those who may have
offended. has made demand for indemnity
in the affair of the Virgipius. and for other
alleged wrongs suffered by Spain owing to
the tilibnstering expeditions fitted out in
this country and landing or attempting to
land men a,d munitions of war on the
Spanish-American coast.
To this demand our government has re-
piled in firm but courteous terms, asserting
the untenableness of the position OF the
Spanish government and reminding it of
remissness for the inexcusable delay in
making reparations for the wrong suffered
by American citizens in person and prop
ertv.
The latest information from Minister
Gushing is that he is still pressing our
demands on Spain. 1t seems certain that
the clause in the protocol providing that
reciprocal reclamations shall be the subject
Of consideration between the two govern
ments will not end satisfactorily, in which
case it will become the subject of arbitra-
tion, as per agreement, provided the con-
stitutional assent OF the United States SEN
ate shall be given to it.

Bloody ARRAY in Franklin Parish.

A correspondent of the Franklin Sun fur
! nishes that paper the following account of
| desperate afray in that parish:
One terrible tragedy is scarcely made
| public before another comes treading upon
| the heels of its predecessor. We have had
| another case of homicide, but in this in.
stance, suppose, it was entirely justihab BILE.
A man by the name of Bell had been loaf
| ing around town, gambling and betting off
horses in such manner as to excite suspi-
cion. Last Friday parties were on the
watch for him. but no decisive steps we're
taken until Monday, when a Mr.. Henry,
from Tensas, can into town with deputy
sheriff in quest of Bell. who was lodging
around the country. That night he at.
tempted to catch a mule at Mr.. Rifles, but
was fired at by that gentleman, and failed
to get the mule. He then made his way on
foot to town, and succeeded in appropriating
a horse and saddle belonging to Mr.. T. A.
Scott. After taking the precaution to leave
tracks on the principal roads leading from
town, he took the Harrisonburg road and
secreted himself in Mr.. Lewis pasture until
the next afternoon. Mr.. Watson mean
while had passed down with the mail, and
described him to various persons on the
route, and Tuesday night he was arrested
at Mr.. Stones on Sicily island, and held
until Mr.. Watson returned. A posse then
accompanied him to the nearest magistrate,
Thomas McVey, who, upon Watson's afi-
davit, issued warrant, and appointed
Watson special deputy to take Bell to
town.
The posse from the Island then returned,
leaving Watson alone with Bell. They had
not proceeded far on their way to town, be-
fore Bell began to feel in his boot for a
pistol and Watson ordered him to dismount
and pull off his boots, he also dismount-
ing and cooking his gun. After taking of
his boots, Bell threw them beyond Watson,
springing upon him at the same moment
and seizing the gun. Watson wrenched the
gun away and attempted to fire, but it
snapped. and they grappled each other,
and scuf1ed for some time, Watson getting
the worst of it at first, he finally succeeded,
however, in throwing Bell down and hold
ing him, until he could open his knife, and
cut the jugular veins, after which he
stabbed him in the heart, and shot him in
the side.
He then returned to McVey's, who is
also coroner, to have an inquest held. This
was done, and verdict returned in &C
cordance with the facts, and Bell was
buried where he was killed. He has
mother and other relatives in Texas, in
good standing, apparently, from the con-
tents Of letter which came to this office
for him last Wednesday. Watson is con-
siderably bruised, and has one finger bitten
to the bone.

The New York Times ON Picayunism.

The following is from the New York
Times Of the twentieth instant:
The New Orleans Picuyune which is
never on the same side in politics more than
two days at time, has been latterly en-
gagged in alternately denying the existence
OF white Leagues" in Louisiana, and in
preaching against them. 1t is now much
alarmed at the possibility of "labor exc
dus," which it fears as a consequence of the
violence Of the White Leaguers. 1t dislikes
to see the negro depart for Texas, leaving
waste the fields where he might have
!abored well; but it breads, also, to have
him remain. From the testimony of the
Picayune, and other Louisiana papers, it
would seem that the colored laborers, with
their wives and families, are rapidly leav.
ing many sections of the State, and that
they are urged to that course by the hostile
attitude of their white fellOw-citizens.

The White League in Arkansas.

The temper Of the White Lesguers is the
same as in 1868, when hundreds of Union
men and Republicans were assailed because
OF their support Of the Republican ticket.
From some cause or other they have come
to fancy that they have sympathy and sup,
port in the North and at Washington, and
they evidently intend to inaugurate vio-
lence, assassination and murder of Repub-
through their schemes. This is doubtless
the purpose for which the Kn-Klux militia
has been organized throughout the Repub-
lican counties.-LiAle Rock, arkansas, Re-

GOLDSMITH on HIS TRAvELs.-Gold.
smith, as Boswell said to Johnsou years
afterward, "disputed his passage through
Europe" Through Flanders and France
to Paris, thence to Geneva, and over the
Alps into Northern aud Central Italy, as
far as Florence. he wended his way most
often on foot. working his passage BY
playing his flute, and making hims,f
popular with the natives OF many couu-
tries with jocose antics and humorous
stories. Many adventures had he, which
he related on his return with much gusio.
He partook of the free hospitalities OF
the monks in the monasteres, slept on
straw in humble barns. and when he
reached village would pull out hi, fue
and strike up lively air, to which tie
rustlcs would respond with dances, AID
in rccompeuse for which he would obtain
modist lodging aud something 10 eat.
When he came to extremlties he did lot
disdain to beg ; aud in Italy, where the
surfeit of music rendered his poor flute
powerless. he used to carp his keeping by
engaging 10 the competitive discussions at
the uni, ersties, the champion of which
would claim free dinner and bed. "ln
this manner" he says, II fought my way
toward England, walking along from city
to city, and, if may 50 express it, saw
both sides Of the picture"
At Paris he was delighted, and OBJ
served things which induced him to pre-
dict the revolution which broke out near
ly forty years after and at Geneva he
visited Voltaire. at whose house be saw
Diderot and Fontenelle, and heard Vol.
talre make a magnificent defense of Eng
land. He ate "savory dinners on the
SUBMITS of Alpine passes, "hushed"
woodcocks on Mount Jura, and med tated
themes which afterward took poetic shape
in his immortal poem of The Traveller"
So wandering, he returned in time TO
England, having made the grand .Our al
most penniless, and enriched his mind
with stock Of minute observation which
was to serve him in precious stead in the
future.-GEoRoE NJ. TowLE, in Harper's
