The daily gazette., 1877-06-01

Gov. Stone of Mississippi, has written
letter to Mr.. Jerome A. johnson, of
Washington city, giving an account
of his investigations at the scene
showing that there was no necessity for
'troops" to protect anybody after the un-
fortunate occurrence; that there was no
danger of any mob, and it was folly to
mix up military with civil law under the
circumstances. He says , s
"No one justifies tue act by which
Judge Chsolm lost his life. Everything
thai is possible shall be done to arrest and
punish the guilty parties. do not hope
TO silence the misrepresentation of men
who are making political capital out of
the unfortunate affair. The South has
been 100 long the victim of misrepresen-
tatlon for your people to become willing
suddenly to hear both sides before coH-
demning. The recent kilograms and ar
tcles that have appeared in Northern pa
pers are based solely upon my refusal to
consent to an invasion of Kemper county
by a body of men from other counties.
Inc folly OF conseDting to such propo-
sition, when no trouble was apprehended
must be apparent to every reasonable
person." .e.
TERRIBLE MUTINY ON BOARD AN AMER
ICAN BRIG. .u
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The United
States consul al Havre reports most ter
rible and UNIV lrrantable muliny on the
part of the crew of the American brig G..
| c. SaCeeny, of Harrington, Me-, as hav-
| ing occurred on that vessel on the 10Th of
| May, few hours after that vessel left
the port of Havre. 1t appears that four
| of six of the men refused to obey the or
ders Of the mate, Henry Harris, made an
attack upon him with revolvers and kill
ed him instantly. They then attempted
the assassination of Capt. Cole, the mas
ter, and the second mate, who escaped by
harricading themselves in the captains
cabin. Through the energy and courage
of the cook, steward and two of the men
who were loyal to the officers, the vessel
was got back to Havre. Upon visiting
| the vessel with the chief OF police, the
consul found the body of the mate mu-
tilated with pistol bullets. The mutin-
| eers were placed in irons and at once sent
| to prison, the witnesses remaining on
| board under police guard awaiting the
action of the French authorities, who
claim jurisdiction over the case, as it is
charged by the French pilot, who was on
board at the time of the mutiny, that the
mutineers fired upon him. ~ "

| two great subjects which had been for
| many years fruitful sources of discord

the subjects of extraditiOn, and above

1n regard to these points Senior

| during my administration of the de-
partment of state, had the glory of
concluding with the United States a
treaty Of extradition, the best which
exists in Europe. l may therefore de-

more cordial than they are at the
present m moment.
