enough or nearly enough road laying would be
economical to justify the laying Of the rails

THE RIGHTS OF A RAILROAD.
Mr. Ohas. 4. Claiborne yesterday presented to
the Mayor an elaborate report OF the work en-
trusted to him, to examine into the right of the
Pontohartrain Railroad Company to claim the
ownership to the clip Of land on ysian Fields
street upon which their track ia laid to the lake
The report, which is lengthy, indicates much dill
geuce and research on the part of Mr.. Clai-
borne, and gives great satisfaction to
the Mayor and Surveyor d'Hemecourt,
whose opinion, previously expressed, it fully
conf ms. II shows that by virtue. Of act
No. 3D. Of the session OF 18O4-5 Bernard de
Marigpy, then minor. under twenty.one years
Of age, and owner OF the oft-slludsd to Marigny
property, was authorized to lay out into lots aud
streets the lands owned by him. The act par.
tcusrly stipulates that all streets thus laid out
shall be forever opened to tho public. The re-
port goes on to say that the centre OF Elysian
Fields street was reserved ~ a canal, and that
eventually Mr.. Marigny transferred the space
occupied by the canal to the Pontchartrain Rail- |
road Company for the purpose Of laying |
a railroad to the lake thereon, the |
transfer being made, however, uitho,h guarantee.
Under the circumstances, aud the fact that not |
even any measurement OF the space transferred il
mentioned, aud that the tract has never been |
considered assessabe, and thai II has never been |
taxed, the conclusion IL arrived at that the only
right that the company can claim to IT IL q right
OF way for railroad purposes.

PRESS FREEDOM IN TURKEY.
An armenian Editor Whipped to Death in
Constantinople for Telling The Truth.

We quote the following from an Eng
lish paper: The editor of the Armenian
journal, the Ararat, died few days ago
from the effects of the beating he reCei-
we'd at the doors of the grand viziers
Office at Constantinople. Article II OF
the new Turkish constitution says: "The
press is free within the limits imposed by
law" Editors in Turkey may hencefOr-
ward hope topursue their avocation with
ont the stick accompaniment discoursing
most excellent music on their corporeal
frames even to the death, as in the case
of the unfortunate editor of the Ararat,
1t will be recollected that the press de-
linquency attributed to this gentleman
was the publication of an account of the
freaks of tax collector in Asia Minor,
who, after having tied the principal in
habitans of certain village to stakes,
administered to them a sound castigation
diversified with buckets of cold water, in
order, doubtless, to refresh their memo
ries as to their peCuniary resources. The
Armenian was summoned to the pres
ence of the late grand vizier, who accused
him of spreading false reports concerning
the high minded and benevolent Turkish
Administration, and, on his departure
from the presence of the great man, he
received the chastisement from which he
has just died 1t is needless to say that
the account was substantiated in every
particular subsequently,; but, as Turkish
justice consists in inflicting punishment
first, and then inquiring into the case
the truthfullness Of Mr., ArYadian's state
ment came too late to save his life. Our
object in calling attention again to this
fact is to show the absurdity Of Constitu-
tional provisions in country like Turkey
where the best law cannot be admins
tered for want of reasonable administra-
tors. "The press is free within the limits
imposed by law" but the law is super
seded by the policeman's stick and the
arbitrary will Of an eccentric grand Vi
zier. Close upon the intelligence of Mr..
Arvadiants death, likewise comes the
news that Chefket Pasha, the chief agent
in the Bulgarian massacres, has ben &C.
quilted by the special Bulgarian commits.
sions sent down to Philippopolis in order
to punish those principally concerned in
the late outrages. The denial ofjustiCe
happend after the PRONUNCIATION of the
Constitution, which expressly says in ar
ticle S6 "No interference can be exer-
csed with tribunals" Unless the tri.
bunal had been manipulated, so notorious
an offender as Chefket Pasha could never
have escaped the punishment he merit.

600, yet Notwithstanding these enormous
figures there is a large diminution of the
cattle on the plains within the past five
years

An ELOPEMEN1.

A special dispatch from Chillicothe, 0.
under date of the 9th ofJanuary, says:
A noted sporting man, by the name of
Fritz Cook, forsaking his wife and family,
yesterday eloped with Mrs. Powell, wi
dow of a railroad conductor who was
killed two years ago, through an accident
on the road. Cook and his paramour, in
order to avoid suspicion, took back to
Kinniknick station, six miles out on the
Valley road. The abandoned wife got
wind of the elopement, and followed in
another carriage, accompanied by two or
three female friends, all of whom were
armed with cowhides. They overlook
the guilty pair at the station, and Cook
was compelled to exercise his muscles to
defend his dtlcina until the arrival ofthe
train, when he made grand dash, drove
his pursuers back some distance, and
then, jumping aboart the train, left his
wife and friends lamenting, 1t is thought
the runaway pair have gone to Pitts
burgh.

DISAPPOINTED C0NSPIRAT0RS

1t goes very hard with Morton, Sher-
man, Chandler Cameron, Grant, and the
other conspirators, after having set up
their game so nicely arranged all their
plans, and even marked out the spots at
the capital where the artillery was to be
posted on the 14th of February, that the
props should he knocked away and the
whole plot tumble down about their
heads. They were entirely confident of
success, and had begun to organize The
new Administration by sending the So
called reforming element" " with Bristow
Schurz, and company, to the rear, as dis
turbers of the harmony of the party.
Their whole scheme turned upon the
count to be made by Mr. Ferry, No di-
vision existed in their councils. Every
conspirator knew when he entered into
the plot that Hayes was fairly defeated in
the electoral College and by the popular
vote. Therefore, two things were neces-
sary to cheat Tilden out Of his rights
First, false count by the Returning
Board; and next, declaration that this
count could not be disturbed by Congress-
An indispensable part ofthe programe
was to have the full sympathy and sup
port oftbe Prsident of the Senate, who
would not only adopt the Republican GER
tifcates from Louisiana, South Carolina,
and Florida, out declare the three votes
of Oregon for Hayes. Mr., Ferry did not
long hesitated to take his share Of the
scheme, being easily convinced that the
power to count and announce the result
depended on him exclusively.
With these details all arranged, and no
show of organized opposition on the
Democrats side looking to determinate
resistance, it is perhaps, not surprising
that Mr.. Morton was sanguine, and even
so exultant as to affirm that Hayes would
be inaugurated without trouble, as "the
Democratic would not fight" He looked
forward with the utmost confidence to
this consumation, and discharged all
doubt as absured.
When he discovered in the Electoral
Committee that his plans were obstruct-
ed, that his own political friends denied
the right of the President of the Senate
to count at all, and that they intend to
report bill by means of which the elec.
tions, in the disputed States would be
turned inside out, the wrath of Mortou
was great. He was beaten on his own
ground, and, what is far worse, was beat
en- without a suspicion that at the final
pinch he would be left solitary and
alone.
This defeat is rendered the more in
glorious because these conspirators are
well aware that when the whole truth is
exposed to view, they must necessarily
suffer from the verdict which will con
sign their agents to lasting infamy. There
is hardly any contingency possible, con-
sistent with the, character ofthe proposed |
new tribunal, and with an honest exami-
nation ofthe votes, by which Hayes can
be declared President This is the sore
point with Morton, Sherman, and their
associates, who anticipated new lease
of power, the control ofthe Treasury, and |
the old rule under new name.-N Y. |

ANOTHER SUICIDE.


The readers of the Register and Tribune
will remember that crazy woman ran
through the streets in an almost nude
condition, Monday morning. She was
subsequently captured and placed in
charge of Constable Eberhart, pending
efforts to get her admission into.the N. 0.
Asylum, at Newburg. Tuesday morning
she was found in the river. about ten roCs
below the dam, where she had evidently
lain during the entire night, as she must
have made the fatal leap about six o'clock
Monday night. The woman is Mrs Cy-
linda Howe, who has been insane for
about three months. Here mind has
been somewhat shattered ever since the
heartless desertion by her husband, Da-
vid Howe, about three years ago. Three
months ago she heard that her husband
had married again and was living in
Pittsburgh. For the most part, since
hearing this report, she has been insane.
She was in charge Of Constable Eber-
bart, and escaped from his residence, on
Water street. on last Monday night. That
officer had left the house few minutes
before to 60 and feed his horse, leaving
the woman in spare room in charge of
Mrs. E.. who was attending to her house.
hold duties. A few minutes later she
was seen to open and spring out of a side
window, by young man named Robin
son, who was returning from his work.
She was last seen going towards the river
in her stocking feet, and looking wild,
and seeming in a great hurry. A vigor-
Gus search was begun early aHd kept up
until eleven o'clock that night. but no
trace could be obtained of her wherea-
bouts. Tuesday morning it was renewed
and at last she was found stiff and cold
in death, partly concealed by an over
bush lying on her back close to
the shore.
The unfortunate woman was a sister of
Henry Garoch's wife and for the most
part since the desertion by her husband,
she has made her home in Mr.. Garloch's |
family. She has often complained to the
neighbors Of i'll treatment, and has never
ceased to mourn for her husband. In
short she has been for three years poor
broken hearted woman.- Youngstown Re.

cost from loss of revenue and from ex-

probably be over G2,000000 sterling.
Matters are still worse in Madras. Both
