HENRI R0CHEFORT.
The Story Of His Escape, as Told
by Himself

The story OF HIS Escape. as Told
by Himself.
CHICAGO, May 2S.-Henri Rochefort
arrived here this evening from San Fran
cisco, and two hours later left for New
York. No reception was given him by the
Communists.
An Omaha special gives a report of an
interesting interview with ROchefort there.
He stated he 4eft New Caledonia on the
Goth of March, having been there three
months. He gives fearful picture of the
life of the prisoners confined there, particu-
larly those sentenced for crime. The con-
dition of the political prisoners was more
tolerable as they were not obliged TO labor,
and those having money could purchase
such comforts as were Obtainable. Roche
fort and several companions were permitted
a small house which added much to their
comfort.
OF his escape and that Of his companions,
he would only say that they engaged an
English bark Of 400 tons burthen, TO sail
around the coast, and that they swan off
to the vessel, being in the water from s
P. NJ. till after midnight, before being
picked up in a nearly exhausted condition.
In regard to political matters in France,
ROchefOrt expressed the opinion that the
prospect for the Republicans is very bright;
that Mcmahon cannot sustain himself
three months, and that it is more than
probable that Thiers will again be at the
head of the Government within that time.

THE whole progress Of Radicalism is
toward Spanish American anarchy.
Politically, We have seen one Southern
State after another Mexicanized. Now
they seek to force hybridism on US So
cially through miscegenation schools.
The South must be added to the long
list OF mongrel abortions on this con-
tinent. To those who may doubt that
such is the animus of Radicahsm, We
commend the words of Massachusetts,
Boutwell,, on the floor of the Senate:
Inasmuch as we have IN this country
four million colored people, l assume
that it is a public duty that they and
the white people of the country, with
whom they are to be associated.in po-
itical and public affairs, shall be as
simulated and made one In the funda-
mental idea of human equality. There

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S-John Edgar
Thompson, President of the Pennsylvania
Railway Company, died last night after a
protracted illness, at his residence in this
city.
His death created a sensation, though
from the nature of his illness such a result
was feared. The doors of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Office are draped with mourn
ing. A meeting of the Board of Directors
is called for tomorrow morning to take
action. The expectation is that Thomas
A. Scott will be selected to fill the vacancy.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-The Post says
New York spectators have for seyeral
weeks been short in Philadelphia of Penn
sylvania Railroad stock, making their sales
on the calculation that the illness of J.
Edgar Thompson would prove fatal. His
death encouraged them TO attempt to break
the market. The stock closed yesterday at
475a4S. On orders from these speculatOrS
to sell 10000 shares the price this morning
was broken to 465. After the sales the
price recovered to 4Iss, and is yet several
points above the average at which they are
short in Wall street. There has been a
rumor that AmaSa Stone, Cleveland director
of the Lake Shore Railroad, is to retire
from the Board. This was used to depress
Lake Shore stock.

MEMPHIS.
Condition Of the Growing Cotton, Plan
tatiOn Labor and Work stock.


MEMPHIS. May 2S.-The Committee on
information and Statistics of the Cotton
Exchange. report to-day the receipt of 149
letters, representing "a counties in Ten
nessee, Arkansas. Mississippi and Alabama,
and two in Missouri, which aggregate as
follows: The deficiency in the acreage Of
cotton planted, as compared with 1873, is s
1-l0 per cent, and as compared with 1872,
3 10. 1t is estimated that there is yet to be
planted, after the 20th inst, l 40 per cent.
The seasons planting labor force has in
creased numerically 40 per cent during
the past year, and during the past two years
1 40. In comparison with the past two
years, the labor shows an improvement in
industry of one per cent, but nothing in
thriftiness. There is an increase numeri-
cally in the working stock Of but lilo per
cent. The condition of work stock, as re-
ported. is . l-1Oper cent poor. Planting Ope-
rations are reported averaging 153 days later
than for the past two years. OF the cotton
crop planted there is reported as upon the
10Th inst. % per cent, of which is reported
one-half bad, one-fourth fair and one-fourth
good conditioned. The excessive dry
weather since planting has prevented a
good stand from coming up, and generally
it has been too dry TO cultivate in the up
lands without injury to the stand.
Cereals.
The condition of the corn crop is bad.
Wheat and oats have suffered from the
drouth. There is 4 growing disposition 10
increase the crops of cereals, including
millet, rye and hay. Since the 20th inst.
there have been but very light and partial
showers. General complaint exists of
want of rain.
A Desperate yendeGta-The Fourth
Brother Killed.
A terrible shooting affray occurred to-day
at Orders Landing, Just below Cat Island,
while the steamer Phil Allen was lying
there, between Henry Burgett and another
planter name Griders, who had married the
widow of Burgett'S brother. After eX-
changing some eight or ten shots with
guns, Burgett, after having been shot five
times already, was shot through the body
in the region of the heart and died soon af-
terwards. He was the fourth brother who
has been killed IN combats with neighbors.
His body was brought here for interment.

the sending of fraternal delegates al once.
Third, by Judge FentreSs, declining the
propositions and saying the obstacles set
forth in the paper Of the Louisville Assem-

stacles are taken out of the way by the

WILL THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
PASS THE HOUSE?


The Washington correspondent OF
the Ne,c York Herald telegraphed as
follows to that paper on Monday: "The
effort to get up the civil rights bill IN
the House to-day provoked consider
able bad blood, and the Southern men,
bers generally, as well as many discreet
and sound Republicans, were taken by
the ears at once. The committee
having the bill in charge failed to get
1t before the body under a suspension
of the rules. The opinion prevails
among a large number Of members that
the bill Will not go through the House,
and it was even said that if 1t did pass,
the President had given an intimation
that he would veto it. The leading Re-
publicans are anxious that the civil
rights bill should be consigned to the
tomb of the Capulets."
Our private advices from Washing
ton are not, however, so hopeful, as may
be seen from the following, written on
Tuesday by a gentleman who is in
position tc know the drift of sentiment:
Butler and Thornburg are the only
Republicans from Tennessee opposed
to the Civil Rights bill. On the test
vote yesterday, the bill showed suff-
cient strength TO pass when the final
vote comes. Num- was absent. The
rumor, prevails that Grant will put in
his veto. but be will hardly do SC"
From another source we hear that
Crutchfield will vote against the bill,
aud the Memphis AouiG5lche states that
prominent Republicans in the Tenth
District have telegraphed Barbour
Lewis to do the same.
