THERE is very painful suspicion +,
growing every day more and more into
certainty, that the people Of Bellcion-
taine, Ohio, hanged the wrong person the
other day for the murder OF Miss Laugh
lin. The facts, as they come out, coin
eide with the dying declaration Of Schell
that his wife was the murdercr-that she
was Jealous Of the girl, and, after rnticing
her into a lonely place, murdered her,
They further go to show that, while
Schell was undoubtedly u brute, his wife
was ficnd, whose confession caused the
hanging Of her husband. With regard to
these facts the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
The most startling bit OF evidence
against Malinda Schell came out this

but on examination under the microscope
they appeared darker and coarscr, for his

settled the matter as to Schell, the hair
ranged from 10 to II inches in length,

DISASTROUS BUSINESS DEPRESSION IN

Nsw ORLEANS, February 10
Grants increased hostility to the south
and his apparent Intention to push mat

pressing effect in commercial circles
With the exception of partial activi.
ty in cotton, confined exclusively to
foreign buyers, trade is at Il stand d-still
Insecurity prevails on every hand. Ia
the last week securities that have thus
far weatbered the many storms that
have swept across Louisiana have de-
clined several points, and real estate,
for years rendered almost valueless by
taxation has at last reached the bottom
and 1t ID difficult to find any one to ac-
cept II as u gift. And there seems to
De no promise OF immediate relief On
the contrary, the opinion prevails here
that the approaching spring and sum
mer will be fraught with many fresh
evils. Accordingly merchants are
bringing their affairs within control
and shortening sail for the coming gale.
Never at any time have affairs, lnonG-
tary and commercial, been in worse
condition.
For number of years the Fire De
partment of New Orleans has been its
pride and boast 1t is VOLUNTEER de.
partmen in one respect and its compos-
ed OF intclligen, men, including some
OF our most prominent citizens. The
Firemen's Charitable Association com
posed of delegates from each company,
in consideration of the receipt Of Il Ger
tain sum from the city OF New Orleans,
contracts 10 extinguish all fires within
the city limits, and this body the lif-
ferent fire companies serve without Ie-
muneration further than their actual
running expenses, such as the case Of
fuel, horse.feed, engine wages, sc. The
profits realized by the association Grom
its contract are expended in the sup
port OF the widows and orphans of de
ceased firemen, SO while the city has
an effective fire department, great
work OF human charity is conducted.
For year the city, owing to its bank
rupt condition, has been unable to make
its payments to the association, and
the latter, having exhausted its private
means, is now in such condition that
It can no longer conduct its work, and
has notified the city that unless some
thing be done Immediately to relieve
its necessities the department will be
forced to suspend it's labors. The city,
hampered by unwise and partisan leg
islation, is unable to do anything, and
the result must be that property viii
be exposed to destruction by fire, and
the last solvent institutions-the insur-
ance companies-will follow the fate
OF other and, less prosperous institu.

A telegram from Cleveland, dated
February 18th, says ,-Cleveland is to
nave City Hall, and it will be one of
the finest structures of its kind in the
United States. The most strange fea.
ture is, that the city did not onild it.
The property is worth upward Of 81
OO0, go, and the block-a large, stone
front, elegant structure-was built by
Leonard Case, a very wealthy and
equally eccentric citizen The lease
of the building for twenty five years
was to-day signed by The Mayor and
by Mr.. Case, possession to be taken on
March 1st. The terms of the lease are
SO liberal that it will be virtually gift
to the city, and one from which a hand.
some revenue will be derived. The
city papers will say nothing about this
until after Monday, when the Council
will ratify the lease, as Mr.. Case is so
singular, that if notoriety is given to
the project, he would be likely to with.
draw his proposition.

France VS.. The u. Il.

AS an evidence of the high credit of
France, and especially of Paris, which
is sometimes said to be France, it is
announced by telegram that the late
subscriptions to the loan of the CITY of
Paris had reached an amount forty two
times the sum required. The sum asked
for was 25O, 100000 francs, forty-two
times which is ten thousand five hun.
dred millions of francs, equal 10 two
thousand one hundred millions OF dol.
lars, or four hundred and twentymiI.
lion pounds sterling. On the list of
February, 1875, our national debt, as
officially reported by the Treasury De-
partment at Washington, was So 148.
800, 17e, so that the subscriptions to the
Paris loan came within. about forty-
four million dollars of the total debt
of the United States.
