New-York favors an American department
at Paris believes there is yet time for it, and
yesterday appointed a committee to urse the
President to give some SORT Of official stand
ing to a commissioner TO represent rs at Paris.
The movement begins in New-Iorh. 1t Is
conceived, however, in catholic spirit, and
aims AT nothing less than national exhibit,
in which all American interests shall have
such representation that they may be Will
ing to stand by it in the eyes OF the world.
4 work like this must have a beginning some
where, and it begins in New-Hork. As we
understand the spirit of the meeting ycsier-
day, it was to this eitcct That merchants and
manufacturers demand cmphaticaly that there
shall be action at once that the work Shall
be carried on in n national spirit; that there
shall be no halfway work about it; and that
no axes shall be ground for anybody. The
spirit is commcudable, and if it ammatcs TO
thc end all the proceedings which are 20 be
taken. the American department viii be sue
ccs,ful. 1t appears that manufacturers are
already preparing their goods for the exhibit
ton 1t only needs commissioner now to
have a thousand hands catch the drag rope
and rush through the work.

The King Of Florida talks in an interesting

evidently made ARRANGEMENTS to stick.
1t is a pity that the Senate, in fixing day
for Mr.. Elh,'s trial nearly two months hence,
should not have authorized the Bank Commit
tee to continue its investigation during the
interval. Every one who is at all familiar
with the history OF the savings bank failures
knows that only a small proportion oi the facts
las been disclosed, and that important points
bearing directly upon this inquiry, which were
long ago the common property OF the newspa-
pers, have not been touched upon ut
all. Still there is some probability
that the trial will not be mere
hearing of argument upon the partial testl-
mony already adduced. Several Senators are
evidently of opinion that they can go beyond
the line of the Committees inquiries, and can
call additional witnesses, and counsel are to
be appointed in behalf Of the State. This last
is an excellent decision Thus far the prose-
cution has been evcrybOdy's business ana
therefore n0body's business. With counsel and
one or two witnesses like Bank Examiner
Reid, for instance, the prosecution ought to
make a better showing.

J. Henri Burch, who has
been playing Senator for this
parish though not a resident
thereof during the past three
years. was arrested in New
Orleans Tuesday evening by
Sheriff Booth and. placed in
the parish prison until the
next Gay when he was to start
with his prisoner for Baton

Burch made all effort to get
released on q writ of HABEAs

written to Mr.. Willis, Treas
urer Of the School Board,
that he was ready to settle,
and that if he would come to
New Orleans for that purpose,
he, (Burch) would pay all ex-
penses. After consulting with
the President Of the School
Board Mr.. Willis decided to
20 down and receive whatever
Burch had to turn over and
report at once to the Board.
Accordingly last Sunday Mr..
Willis went down, and when
he called on Burch he found
tue defunct Treasurer no
nearer prepared to settle than
the earth is to the moon. Up
on examination Mr.. Willis
found that, for the years midi
Gated in the circular OF Mr..
Lusher, Burch had received
about $l9,74l So. and that
his vouchers showed he had
paid out only about $9,532
and some odd cents. Besides
this, in these years Burch had
received from the parish about
1875 Sd, making in all about
1915 OF. According to
these figures and Burch's
vouchers there appears to be

Of 1874, says the Picayune, Gov.
Nichols appointed Messrs. DR. VIM.

ers Of Immigration for Louisiana.
DR.. Boyle was elected President,
Mr.. Freret Recording and Mr..

The law contemplated a tax of
two dollars per head on all immi-
grants arriving at the port of New
Orleans, to defray the expense of
the board of commissioners, out the
law proved imperative and yield
ed no revenue.
The board will reply upon the
generosity of public>spirited citi-
zens for means to issue descriptive
pamphlets and circulars, and give
proper attention to correspondence
from abroad. We trust they will
not be disappointed. When the
Legislature next assemblies it will
be called upon to supply the re-
quisite funds for effective work.

ployed laborers of the North, pro-

The West has lost some of its
charms, by rapidity of growth and
density of population, while the

SHOCKING SUICIDE IN JAIL.
Matches Mics, TelephOae.]

~~'O~'y
At about 7:l5 yesterday even
ing it was discovered that Louis
Versiusky, "a Polish friend in>
sists that the name is spelled With
a w. an inmate for the last week
Of the county Jail, had attempted
suicide by cutting his throat imme>
diately under the chin. DR.. Chase
was sent for at once, who on per-
ceiving that the wound was Of a
serious nature, called in the assis>
lance of DR.. Inge, and stitched up
the wound which is between four
or Ave inches in length, and COM
pletely through the throat. Vre-
sinsky has made more than one at
tempt to make away with himself
since he has been in Jail. Last
night, being allowed to roam about
the Jail within the bars, he entered
room Immediately over the one
occupied by the jai'or, and break
ng open a valise which happened
to be there, he discovered a razor,
and Immediately put the contem~
plated deed into execution. Up to
the time of writing, IL NJ, he is
still alive, but Judging from the
amount of blood thrown off, the
physicians say he can hardly live till
morning. Aboat a week ago he
was committed in 5000. by one of
the country justices, to keep the
peace toward his wife. He is a
fcarful!y violent-tempered man, and
in his fits Of passion, it seems. it
was almost dangerous to approach
him. On the very day of his sui
eide, friend of the family, fearing
what has now resulted, from his
previous attempts, was putting forth
efforts to have him released. He
has faithful and exemplary wife
and five bright children. who are in
sad distress from this fearful blow.
Versinsky came to Natchez from
Bayou Sara a few months ago, and
carried on business IS a saloon
keeper at the corner Of Commerce
and Main streets. In Bayou Sara
so we are informed, he was a man
of much influence and was for some
time mayor Of the town. The Jail
last night, was visited by great
numbers, but the jailo1 barred the
door to all. Repeatedly could be
heard hawking and .retching Of the
dying man as he attempted to
throw off the constant flow from
the ineternal bleeding.
