JACKSON, January 8. - Governor
Ames' political message TO the Missis-
-sippi Legislature was read yesterday.
1t opens by calling attention to the
late State election and the events Oc-
curing at Clinton In September. He
says that lawless bands of men con-
trolled two other countits prior to
that time; that violence reigned else
wheIe in the State, and that appeals
for protection came from all directions.
Fear, growing out Of the race issue at
these points, created sentiment
against militia sufficiently powerful to
prevent its organization. Under these
circumstances he called for national
troops, but failed to receive them. Re
newed efforts to organize the militia
developed deep seated bitterness of
race issue, and a conviction prevailed
that they would only precipitate con.
fict, and because an attempt was
made to organize aud use the
militia force, a class OF people rebelled,
and to avoid threatened deeds Of vio-
lence committee of prominent citi-
zens, powerful In controlling one poll
tical organization gave their pledges
to preserve peace and good order and
secure fair election-a novel and
humiliating spectacle in the Govern
ment OF q free people was thus pre-
sented. rt t YqHaIi sli

AFALL OF FLESH.

LOUISVILLE. March 11.-Capt. J. M. Bent, of
Mt. Sterling, KY, arrived in Louisville tonight
with specimens OF flesh which fell last Friday in
Bath county. The flesh covered two acres of
ground, resembled mutton, and left traces Of
blood on the trees and fences which were touched
by the falling fakes.
The heavens were clear, the sun shone, and
only floating clouds were visible at the time-2
P. NJ. March 3. Quantities OF the flesh have
been preserved. That brought to Louisville was
given to Prof Lawrence Smith, the well known
scientist, who says it is no doubt animal flesh.
LOUISVILLE, March II. : In regard to the
shower offiesh in Bath county, Prot. J. Lawrence

specimens examined: " In my mind, this matter

INTERNATIONAL TROUBLES.

SAN Francisco, March ia private letter
from Apia in the leland of Upolu, one of Samoan
group, says the armed schooner Peerless, which
was purchased here by Col. Bteinberger, for the
Samoan Government, was seized by the COM
mander Of the British ship-of-war Ba1acanta,
after consultation with the American and British
consuls for carrying arms under the Anne rican
flag. She was dismantled and sold by Mr..
Foster, the American Consul, to Capt. Mackenzie
of Auckland.
meeting of foreign residents was then held,
the British. German and American Consuls being
present.
Col. Stienberger was called on to show his COM
mission from the United States, which he did.
The British commander has forbidden his
countrymen 20 obey the Samoan laws, and has
sent to Fiji for another war ship.
proclamation has been issued by the captain
Of the Banasanta and the American, British and
German Consuls, the Consuls reciting that Is
Samoa has set aside the legitimate authority Of
the representatives of the foreign powers, they
agree that hereafter the Samoan laws shall not
be carried into effect with regard to foreigners
but they shall be governed by their respective
cousular courts.
The letter, which is evidently written by .
friend OF Col. Steinberger, says the English will
either force the Samoan authorities to send away
Sieinberger, which they will not do, or will take
the island by force.

The Anglo French Channel Tunnel.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Times writes to that journal The question of
the Channel Tunnel is steadily advancing.
An international company, it is we'll known,
was formed, with capital of sl6O, 900. to bs
furnished in equal moieties by French and
English shareholders This first step sue
ceeded, and the English company, which
was behindhand in raising its capital. has for
some time been provided with the requisite
sum. A second step was then taken. The
promoters we're told that as they meant to
risk 000 600 francs, it was better that they
should Immediately appeal to capitalists, and
constitute themselves deinitively.
This advice was not followed. They thought
it better to risk their own capital, and not
appeal to the public, until experiments had
been made, and nothing was left to chance.
This determination Was promptly justified.
The preliminary expenses have only amount
ed to an insignificant sum, and the pro-
motors have already acquired certainty that
they may make decisive experiments; and
when these have been made, they will resolve
either on the entire abandonment of the
scheme, or on defnitive enterprise guarded
against all eventualities and miscalculations,
SO that whenever they present themselves be-
fore the public they can precisely determine
the time, cost and nature of the undertaking.
It still remained to agree on an international
convention regulating the relations of the
two countries as regarded the future tunnel
Here there were numerous difficulties
which took some time to adjust, for it was
question of creating veritabls international
tribunal to decide without appeal on the num-
berless unforeseen cases which may arise in
such work. This difficulty. however. has
been overcome. 1t has been decided than an
international tribunal shoald take the place of
an international consultative commission, the
special mission of which will be to smooth
over the difficulties, leaving to each Minister,
as to each country, the task Of settling the
questions resting with il or within it, Jur;s-
