The Ruler OF all the Russias Escapes
Unhurt!-Unpleasant Incident of O.
Morning Walk.
ST. PETERSBURG, April l4-Noon.~
While the Czar WINS taking his usual
morning walk, early to-day ,ncar the pal
ace, four shots from a revolver were
fired at him. The man who fired the
shots was arrested by tho crowd whom
the firing attracted. The city is being
decorated in token of tllanktUncss for
the Czars escape. The assassin was
arrested.
Sr. PETERSBURG, April 14--3 p. NJ
The would-bc murderer Of the Gar is
now undergoing examination. A full
official account df the affair says:
J. Towards O'Clock. this morning, as
tho Emperor was taking his customary
walk, respectfully dressed man wear
ing military cap with Il cockadc ad-
Tanec1 towards him. and as the En-
peror approached nearer, drew IL re-
volycr from the pocket of his ovcrcoat
and fired four shots at him. The
assassin before submitting to his
'captors fired another shot, slightly
wonnding in the check person in the
crowd. The great throng Of people
which had assembled enthusiastically
'chcered and congratulated the En-
pcror, who thanked them for their
proof Of fidelity on such a painful
occurrence. lie said that he knew he
had the support Of all respectable pco-
pie. he hoped that God would grant
that he might complete his task, which
consisted IN promoting the welfare Of
Russia.
The Emperor, after the foregoing
speech, drove to the Palace without
escort. He has not suffered the least
i'll effect from the attempt upon his
life. Afterwards he drove, still with
out escort, to the Kazan Cathedral to
offer thanks for the preservation Of bis
life. When receiving the congratula~
tions Of the officials Of the Empire at
noon, the Car was so much overcome
by his enthusiastic reception rs to be
unable to speak for some minutes.
On recovering from his emotion, he
! said: "This is the third time God has
| saved mo-" The Emperor's assailant
took poison before his attempt, as he
vomitea after his arrest. Poison was
also found under his finger nail. An
ftidotes were administered. 1t is
thought that the man was an employee
of the minister of finance, and an
agent of the International. The Sui
tantand all of the European Sover-
eigns have telegraphed their congrutu-
lati0ns.

THE TOWN OF glastonbury, Con-
nccticut, has long been famous as the
residence of the Smith Sisters, who
have persistcntly refused to pay taxes
because not allowed to vote. Year
after year three fine Aldcrney COWS
have been sold for taxes, bought and
given back to them. But Glastonbury
has seen another sight. All the
Smiths are dead but one, and she,
now in her eighty-scvcnth year, has
abandoned the hopeless fight and gone
and got married. The bridegroom,
Amos G. Parker, is also Of the same
ripe age. Julia married to get pro-
lection, and Amos married to get hor
COWS. These Aldcrncys being now
the property of a voter will no longer
be levied upon and sold for taxes. A
bridal couple whose united ages reach
the venerable figure of ono hundred
and sevcnty-four years is not to be
amet with every day.

THE CHILD is BORN.

Yesterday the House bill providing
for Constitutional Convention was
coneurred in by the Senate on strict
party vote. Four Senator'S, Messrs.
Breaux, Benners and Merkel, of Or
leans, and Dir. Stubbs, of Ouaehita, said
in explanation of their votes, that, in
supporting the measure, they yielded
their individual opinions to what they
regarded as an unwise public opinion.
Mr.. Zaeharie also said in debate that he
| had favored the Amendments and OPP
posed Convention at the last session
I of the Legislature, but that he had
abandoned his former opinions in def
erence TO an almost universal popular
desire for Convention.
| TO it WAS that The bill was passed,
aud The Convention became an accom-
| pllshed fact, SO far rs the General AS
sembly can affect it. The bill will now
60 TO the Governor, and we have no
doubt that he will at once attach his
signature TO it, and it will become a
law. This is, indeed, a happy consum-
nation for Louisiana. The Democratic
party has promptly fulfilled it's repeat
ed pledges to the people, AMI now, thai
the days of the bayonet edict of 1868 are
numbered, that party has, in the dis
charge Of its obligations, established for
itself new and irresistible claim upon
the popular heart.
For ten long years have our people
abiled, with enforced patience, the day
when it would be in their power to de-
stroy the loathsome instrument of plum
der and misrepresentation which has
stood them in tie place of fundamental
|law. From beginning to end it has
been a Justification Of all their accepted
theories. of political organization and
government. It has established above
them for government o vast and COM
plicated engine Of spoliatiou and OPP
position and oppression, conceived with
a devilish ingenuity and carried out
with an elaboration of detail in the in
terest of corrupt officials, and having
no sort of consideration for the govern
ed. Legislation, no matter how honest
in its purposes, has been futile Is stop
or ameliorate the operations of this es-
adjustment, which moved with the
cruel precision of machinery.
But the time of deliyerance has come
at last, and after a long and desperate
light the people are at length victorious
over the corruptions, the license, the
rings and the monopolies that this in
strnment had entailed upon them, and
which had contended so savagely for
its perpetuation. The rotten and infa-
nous old constitution of 1868, uuder
4 which Louisiana has endured all the
miseries and disgrace that are compre-
hended in her history, with all the re-
Ipulsive associations connected with ii
in the minds Of our people, is about to
pass away for ever. There is not a
manly heart in all the State that will
not thrill with joy al The glad tidings,
while those who have brought us this
tlispensation will be held in endearine
and grateful memory. The Democratic
J, Legislature oflS79 has built for itself 8
