NAPOLEON BoSAPARTE was great
man in his day, and was terror even
to kings, but now we guess he is out of
the way. When men once receive a
good hanging, according to the Ameri.
can mode, they are not often heard
from again. The other day poor Ma,
poleon was hung in Sardis, Miss, and
now we hope the world will let him
rest. Perhaps it will be we'll to state
that in this instance Napoleon was n

The question having been decided
by the Supreme Court adjudging the
liability of Allegheny county for
damages incurred by the Pitt.burg
riots in 1877, very large number OF
suits are now being actively entered
to bc within the two years to which
the liability Of the county is limited
by he act Of assembly. These dam.
ages will amount to several millions,
and will embarrass the people of that
county very much. But with their
immense resources, unsurpassed manu-.
factories, and well known enterprise.
the embarrassment should be of short

A NORTHERN RETURNING BOARD.
The Greenbaokers Of Maine Determined to
Count In Their Candidate for Governor.
f()Incinnnt,i Ennuirar.l

BosToN, Nov. Information obtained here
tonight goes to show that tho Republicans
are not sure after all that their candidate In
the recent election In Maine Ia to be the next
Governor Of that State. Your correspondent,
On the best III authority Of Greenhack leaders
here, tonight learned that the Greenbackers
of Maine intend 70 hold the reins of govern
ment another year, and with this purpose
several of tho leading areenbackers of the
Dirlgo State among them J. M. Fogg. have
been In consultation with leading men OF tho
same political stripe here. Davis, tho Re-
publican candidate. failed 10 bo elected by the
by law. although having q plurality over the
areenback candidate. Fogg now asserts that
the present executive council OF the State,
which Is composed chiefly of Greenbackers,
has virtually the same power % q Louisiana
Returning Board. and can throw out tho vote
or any town OF district where fraud can be
proved He and other areenbackers avow
now that they can show where over thirty
Republican Senators and Representatives TO
the General Court were elected by fraud, ana
by throwing out these districts they can
thereby get majority In both branches OF
the Legislature and elect their own Governor
Leading Republicans III Maine swear that
should the GreenbaCkers adopt this course
and elect their Governor, they Will inaugu-
rate their own government, with Davis as
Governor, and then, should the Greenbackers
persist In their claims. they will bring the
question before the Supreme Court. The
Hraenbackers, on the other hand sRy u they
should prove fraud, ~ alleged, and elect their
Governor. the Republican state government
II organized as threatened. will stand In the
light OF the law rs rebels, and will be SO dealt
with.
The question Is an interesting one and Ia
quite suggestive OF affairs In Louisiana IN
1876, with the scene In New England instead
OF the South. Tho shadows " the United
States troops and Federal interference to set
tie the question have already presented them
selves to the minds of many, together with
the practical experience enjoyed In some
parts OF the South within the past fourteen
wears.

A CDRSICAN VENDETTA.
Fighting Families Induced To Sign a

FGallrnani's Measonger, October 10.

fGnllEnani's Messenger. October 1871
A Corsiean vendetta between nearly One
hundred families, which has lasted well-nigh
year. and has cost several lives. has just
been brought To u close by al interesting GER
smony at Sartenes. In tho municipal cleo
tions which took place Mt the end of 1879 III
the Commune Of Sangavino, discussion
arose between both parties, Republicans and
Bonapartists forming the Audit Board, rela-
tive to ONO vote During the heat of the guar
rel the dsputants took up nrlns. and In the
melee the most influential chief Of the Eepub-
Leans In the locality, named Francis Fietri,
was shot mortally. Two brothers named
Francois and Charles Nlcoi were arrested.
and were recently tried for tho crime. but us
the evidence was not conclusive, they were
acquitted.
Immediately after the trial cries OF venge-
ance WINS heard at Sangavino. From that
moment IN tho village, usually ~ gay. p
death Ike silence reigned, tho doors and
shutters Of the houses were closed, The streeta
were deserted, and none OF the inhabitants
dared to go out unarmed. All the Inhabitants
became ranged In two camps; numerous en-
counters took place. IL which three OF the Be-
DRpartlats, ono of whom was N NicOlt, tho sup
posed author Or the original crime was
killed. and n Pietri resolved three gunshot
wounds. from which he has nos yet recoved.
Work in the fields was almost abandoned, the
neighboring villages Joined IN the quarrel.
which for u moment appeared likely TO de-
generate into civil war. AT the eommenC
lnent Of tho present month the Project. M.
Delsale applied himself To- bring about q
qualification. His first step was to Induce
the two parties 10 appoint delegates with
whom TO treat. NM. Charles aud SEVERN
Abbatueol, tho FORMER Deputy, were chosen
to represent tho Bonapnrtists, NJ. Trani,
advocate, the Republicans. After tivo
days negotiations. the. parties came
To al accord. and treaty OF peace was drawn
up between them. but ut the last moment
there was n danger Of the war being lighted
up afresh. Michael Glozzt, an uncle OF tho
Pletris WAS found dead In u vineyard. and his
death was supposed To have been II new crime
or the Nicolia, but on proof being obtained
that he had died u natural death tho paciii-
cation was proceeded with A table was set
up on O public place, and the treaty was rend
aloud before all tho population assembled
BY 1t each party engaged to cease hostilitles
and to give up TO Justice at tho same moment
the men against whom charges for acts ofi
violence were brought. More than d hundred
heads OF families affixed their names 70 this
treaty. which they took oath to observe. Two
pietrls and two Nicolis who were In conceal
ment In the thicket will surrender to take
their trial under this arrangement.

rushed from the clubhouse among the crowd
which had collected outside. and thus set
many or their clothes Oh fire. Altogether
there were thirty-seven persons attacked bv
