HOMICIDE.

In the store OF MesSrs. l.. Rosnnteld

inst. Mr.. John Young of said place
was shot and killed by MIR. George Ell
lison. Concerning the particulars Of
the case, allowances must be made, as
our Information regarding same comes
only indirectly, ana besides reports are
conflicting.

cessfui attempt at arEeatins, aud that
Mr.. Young had voluntarily handed his
pistol to Il by-,taneler when informed
by the party pretending ia surrender
that he Was unarnled, ana that irnine-
diateiy thereafter the prisoner fred the
| fatal shot at his rapior. Subsequent re-
velalions however, render the uistur-
banre a> merely Il renewal Of an old
feuI, i'll which arrcS, was threatened
after the alteration had commenced,

FRANCE.

Tho two great ohstaclea which al
ways arise IN France, In the WAY OF ali
efforts to establish aud maintain q per-
manently free and practical Eepub~
licani5rn, are: First-T:Ie opposition by
4 powerful political co1obi Gsation 70 the
embodiment IN their .iin nstTAtiorI OF
! the great Englisi. principle. which! Is
! tho anchor OF their political system,
| OF ministerial responsibility. Second
The opposition by TIL" s.,f.l" party to
the F'rer,lnn of the Press, amt Of dis
| cuSsion ofall public questions.
The opposition Ia these essential
ideas of ali popular :ui'i free govern
mcnt must necessarily i,rOcee'i from
mOnarchial and ulLranoutanr ideas.
Every manifestation o! snc!i opposition
by the Executive necessarily !ruvni>V-
the sturdy resistance OF the people aud
profound and pcrl"uS ;t:si,ation.
The present imbroGliu of Marshal
Mac MahOn illustrates he truth OF ne
assertion.
Under his instructions his ministry
made an attempt to render stronger
and more effective Il curb upon the
freedom Of the press, which had been
| imposed by an always odious press law.
The avnwrtl motive OF the Marshal for
this i,,nn,nI was to prevent the
Involvement oi France i'll the present
| war troubles in Europe. The Cl:anl-
| her OF Deputies defeated the ministry
on this question, and even Jules SIMON,
| the IniDiSt erial leader, rather N.c;lk encd
on it, and this ministry were uiSni issc,t
i'll great wrath amt sli~,nnirnt ny the
Marshal.
Under the English system in the
g;,niZntion OF Il new ministry respect
would he paid to the declared opinion
of the representatives Of the people.
| But Marshal MacMahon, 50 far from
yielding 10 this obvious duty aud true
principle of representative govern
ment, has constituted Il new ministry
| of retrograde aud monurchi,aI ideaS
and politics, and tlauut$ n defiance of
the Republicans, even going sn far n
| to threaten Il dissolution of the Char
Der.
1t this threat should be carried out
! the situation will be = most dangerous
one. The French people ar" too strong
~ Republican to submit tn any such
assault upon their most valuable carCii
nal principles and policies OF their par
ty. They will resist, even 20 the paint
; OF revolution, any attempts To pverturn
the Republic. They regard these
movements of the Marsha President
as only the beginning of a general and
| formidable movement Of ultranontan-
ism, legitirnism and nrytalEam. "

SINKING OF A TURKISH MONITOR.
NEW York Herald. ]


LONDON. May 1.-THE Herald cor
respondent stationed at the Russian
headquarters at Jassy telcgraphs, under
date of yesterday, full details OF the
sinking Of the Turkish monitor by the
Russian batteries before Ibrail ON the
river Danube. He says that the entire
Turkish fotIlla, consisting Of several
heavy armed monitors and few gun
boats Of the first and second class, APP
peared before the town of Ibrail, and ON
coming into position began lombard
ing the place. The fire Of the Turkish
vessels was at once returned by the
Russian shore batteries, and the artil-
lcry battle was soon fierce and deadly
one, and continued for some time. At
length two shells were fired from Il
piece in one Of the Russian bait cries,
under tho direction Of Commandment
S,amailIi, ut one of the monitors having
two turrets aud three lnasts, and named
the Louktigeili, meaning ss'rhe Grace
of God.'' The vessel fired ut was at Il
distance Of two miles from the battery,
vet both Of the shells struck the mont
tor. AS they fell the vessel seemed for
/, moment to be rising out of the water,
and in less than Il minute alter She
sank. There was no explosion, and the
monitor went down SO suddenly that it
is believed the fatal projectiles did not
strike the powder magazine, but fell
into the hold, where they exploded, no
doubt tearing large holes in her bottom,
the water rushing in SO rapidly that
she sank without any warning.
THE RUSSIANS GO TO HER AID.
AS soon :,s the catastrophe was COM
pretended in its fullest extent the
Russians made an effort to succor their
enemies. \ boat was despatched from
the shore to the scene of the wreck, in
which were an officer of marines named
Skoulew, an aide-.le- camp name Ragou-
liz and lieutenant DoubanoH. They
were unsuccessful in finding any of the
officers and crew i'll the water, but
Lieutenant Doui,Anotf had the honor
| of capturing the flag of the sunken
monitor.
TWO HUNDRED MEN LOST.
The Inflated vessel was under the
command of Heujet Bcy and had 200
men on board at the time she was so
suddenly destroyed. Dat OF this num-
her only one man was saved, and he
was picked up at the distance of II mile
from the other Turkish vessels. None
of the Turkish commanders made any
attempt to succor their comrades in
distress. The sinking of the monitor
was remarkable eEent, Snuueh ana
supreme in its effects.
HONORs FOL, DISTINGUISHED SERVICE.
AT eight O'Clock that same evening
the Grand Duke Nicholas, having been
appraised Of the news, at once telegra he'd
| to- His Imperial Majesty the Emperor
Alexander reciting the main facts.
During the same night the Gar teie-
rraphed to the Grand Duke asking for
the name Of tho commandment of the
| battery whence the shells were fired
and that Of the artiilerist who pointed
| the gun. According to the rules of the
Russian service, both the officer and
tho n,an are entitled to receive the
Grand Cross of st. George.
