The Murdered Italian.

NEW YORK, August A.-There is no
clue to the murder of the Italian brush
maker, Salvador T0rrini, whose body was
found frightfnlly mutilated ON Bedford
avenue, Brooklyn. Twenty wounds were
found on the body. His money and valu-
ables were not taken. Torrini's landlady
says that he was attentive to Mrs. St.
George, wife of another bOarder, and that
che gave them notice to leave, which they
did. 1t wss reported that st. George then
went to reside with TOrrini. The police
can not find st. George or his wife. An
Italian has just been arrested on suspicion.
Beecher's Cross Ex animation.
Beecher's cross examination before the
Plymouth Church committee places Morl
ton and Tilton in the position of black
mailers. Beecher emphatically denied TIL
toms allegation of adultery with his wife,
or behaving to her in q way different from
man toward his own daughter.
Tilton being interviewed to-day about
Beecher's defense, said Moulton would now
be obliged to publish the long statement
he withdrew for the sake of. peace.
Beecher had behaved ungratefully, es-
pecially as MoultOn had been his friend,
and saved him from committing suicide
four years ago; that the statement will an
initiate all Of Beecher's denials. Beecher's
conduct is that of desperate man, and his
resorting to talsehOod to cover his conduct
is simply infamous.

No Mixed schools in Washington.

No MIXED schools IN Wasnln8tOu.
WASHINGTON, August 14.-The apprehen-
sion that the consolidation of the trustees
of the colored and white schools by the
commissioners looked to a mixture: was re-
moved to-day by the official assertion that
the commission had no such intention. Mr.
Denison spoke fer the commission, and it is
known that Mr.. Blow, who was absent
when the trustees were mixed, is opposed
to mixed schools. Mr.. DenisOn claims that
the consolidation of the trustees was simply
economical.
Affairs ON the Rio Grande.
The Attorney General has received COM
municatiOn from Governor Coke, OF Texas,
in answer to one addressed to him touching
his order to Captain Bernards, commanding
a company of minute men, requiring him
when in close pursuit of Indian marauders
or cattle thieves to recover property taken
by them from the citizens of Texas, to cross
the Rio Grande if necessary, into Mexico.
The Governor represents chat constant
depredations are made by Indians from
Mexico on the people Of Texas; that many
persons are murdered by them, and
great quantities of property stolen
and carried away; that the forces
of the United States stationed along
the frontier are totally inadequate
to protect the people, ana that it is abso-
lutely necessary for their own preservation
that they should protect themselves. The
communication is long, and full of interest
ing details as to the condition of affairs
upon the Rio Grande.

Death of John Collins.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, yesterday
evening, announces the death uf Mr.. John
Collins, the old time Irish comedian. This
remarkable actor was born at Lucan, near
Dublin, Ireland, in the year 1911, and he
has been on the stage since he was eighteen
years of age. He seemed never to grow
old, and when past sixty played juvenile
paIts and sang his songs with ali the vim
and spirit Of youth. He made his debut as
an actor at the Haymarket Theatre, Lon
don, in 1899, as first tenor in English opera.
August II, 1916, he made his American
debut at the Park Theatre, New York, play
ing McShane, in the Nervous Man" Since
then he has been before the public as star,
amusing our grandfathers, fathers, and the
boys of the present day. In many Icish
characters he was inimitable, and ne was
one Of the sweetest ballad singers Ireland
has produced. No one could sing the
".Widow Macree" song like him. His last
engagement in this city was played at the
St. Charles Theatre. He was fine old
Irish gen tleman, a conscientious actor, and
a good man.

Tho Samana Bay Company.

A correspondent who has been taking a
look at and about Samana bay, writes of
the Sanana Bay Company as follows:
This company commenced operations by
building hotel on the top of a mountain.
which in this climate would call inaccessi-
BILE. It is half finished, and that part is
already rotten by rain and sun. A little
further down the mountain billiard room,
or rather barn, is half finished, also gone to
decay. Still further down comes the Gov
ernor's house, Professor Howe's small
wooden shanty, containing three very
small rooms. with kitchen attached; and
to get up to this house, in this hot climate,
is task none would seek for pleasure.
visited tnem, and at every step lizards
of all colors would bounce out of the grass,
as well AZ in the houses. The company sold
all the old furniture in the shape of desks
and chairs early in june, and the only thing
they now possess is small steam launch,
going to decay, as no coal is there to run
her. and there Is NO trade. The Samana
Bay Company is absolutely defunct and
forgotten there; it has left nething behind it
upon which to build monument on the
scrap Of ground it could call its own.

FOREIGN.
RecognitiOn of Spain.

LONDON, August l4.-The Times Madrid
| correspondent positively confirms the re-
ports of recognition of Spain by England,
France and Germany. The announcement
has caused general rejoicing at the capital.
Post special dispatch from Berlin, re-
ports that Austria and Italy have also
recognized the republic.
The Times, in an editorial article, says
England would have recognized Spain some
time since, but for the reluctance that
France and the Indifference that Germany
had presented.
The Pail Mall Gazette says Russia hesitates
to recognize Spain because such action will
strengthen the cause OF republicaDism in
Europe.
The Cricketers-A Jaw .breaker.
In the game of cricket between the Surry

Bazaine Mt Genoa.
PARIS, August l4.-Le Soir states that
Marshal Bazaine arrived at Genoa on
board the steam yacht Baron Ricasoli dis
guised as servant, at ten o'clock Monday
morning. He must consequently have
escaped by nine o'clock the previous even
ing. The statement OF the governor of the
fort that he went to bed at ten O'Clock Sun
day night is untrue. LIE SOir says the fugi-
tive certainly had accomplices among the
garrison authorities.

Court Items.

Yesterday mornings REPUBLICAN, by an
oversight, omitted to acknowledge the
obligation Of the public and the profession
to the Ouaehita Telegraph for it's admirable
report of the decisions of the Supreme
Court at Monroe. Il is not the first time
that such acknowledgment has been due,
nor the first time the REPUBLICAN has taken
advantage of the legal aenmen OF the
editor of the Telegraph, bus such labor, as
is evident from it's excellence. is rewarded
more by appreciation than by fattery.
Nevertheless, it should have been explained
that the many important legal points were
culled and the report condensed from that
paper, and in omitting from it all decisions
Of mere local Importance 1t was not intend
ed to deprive its author of local habita.
tion and name.
In the Superior District Court the private
market men consider they have found a
savior. Long before the court opened
butchers, contractors, police off duty, mar
ket men, ct ais, crowded the back seats.
Judge Hawkins decision, on the rule for
contempt, SO satisfied the majority that they
would have deiied him if it had been
according to American institutions. For a
little time at least they can sell meat in
peace. At least SO they thought. But the
market war has had many fitful changes,
and commanders on each side have seen a
battle lost only to gain victory in the
same field.
Yesterday the Injunction against inter
ference ruled supreme, and the city's repre-
sentative was condemned to Imprisonment
for attempting to enforce the law.
This ought to be satisfactory, but what
will the private market men say when they
learn that Governor Kellogg, who vetoed
the bill which abolished their business, or
dered the release of the officer who was iu-
dicially condemned for enforcing it!

The Supreme Court alone can issue man

here, can not bind it, nor is this court COM
peeled to adhere to its earlier opinions. The
morest tyro of the law knows that the
Supreme Court reverses it's own opinion
half as often as it confirms it on reheariDg,
and the opinion Of that tribunal is no more
binding on the Supreme Court than is that
of this court on itselt.
This is the first offense under the injuuc

condemned to pay fine of $25 and be i'm

judge Of the parish Of Rapides, from Janu-

the following answer of the Attorney Gen
eral:
Defendant admits that relator is parish
Judge of Rapides, and that the amount
claimed by him for salary for two quarters
Of1873 Is due and owing him by act No. 81 Of
1868; that he is authorized to draw his
salary quarterly on his own warrant; that
an appropriation of $l20.0OO was made by
the Legislature Of 1873 to pay salaries Of
parish judges; that said appropriation was
diverted by the Auditor to purchase State
warrants, and hence your respondent is at

claim Of said relator, and with the foregD-

The Wnr Of Races.

The issue was made directly on the civil
rights bill at the recent election in Ken
lucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and
it can not be denied that it has resulted to
the present advantage of the Democracy.
The opponents Of Republicarism have
formed league on this issue, with the
watchword of "a white mans government
for white men," wholly ignoring the 20
htical rights of the negro, and it has resulted
in their temporary success An unusual de-
gree of bitterness has attended the canvass,
and blOodshed has followed in several
instances. The effect has been to fire the
Southern heart" and White Leagues are
now the order of the day in most of the
States recently in rebellion. Some of the
Democratic papers of that section 60 so far
as to say that the negroes ought to be driven
without her laboring population. To such
an extent has prejudice gone. that the situ-
alton to-day is fraught with more grave
perils than at any time since the close of the
war.
The white men, blinded by their passions,
fail to see that any disaster to the blacks
must be disaster to themselves, since their
material interests are almost identical. If,
unfortunately, blood should be shed, the
calamity could not be confined to one race
of men, nor would the North look coldly
the laboring classes whose value to the
country is full as great now as in the
palmiest days Of slavery. 1t is terrible
pity that the issue has been made. 1t will
be more pitiable yet if it is allowed to be
carried out to it's legitimate end. There is
now time for sober counsel and wise ex-
postulation. While the South is still striv-
ing to recover from the losses eDtailed by
the Shareholders rebellion, it is not an aus
picious time in which to invite the demon
of civil war to another feast.
No doubt there are serious and grievous
troubles connected with the emancipation
of race of slaves. They were born in ig-
norance, but that difficulty is rapidly mend
ing with the spread OF educational facilities.
Unused to political or social recognition as
the black men were, it might have been ex-
pected that there would be some friction
before they would adjust themselves to
their proper place. But the North has
never had any trouble in dealing with the
negro, and little OF it's hard common sense
applied to the situation would heal every
hurt. In any event, it is time that the
South understood that the North will never
consent to be made party to internecine
strife. Even the Democracy of the North
will never consent to be compromised by
the follies threatened by White Leagues,
and to have old wounds opened again. The
sooner this is understood the better it will
be for the interests of peace. A war of
races can not be permitted on free Ameri-
can soil.-Nem York Commercial Adrertiser.
