the alleged ring leader of the gang Of negro
Masons who murdered james McCane, col
ored in the fall of 1876, was to-day released,
his case being submitted 10 a jury without
evidence. Jones has been confined in the
McLennau county jail since q few days after
the murder was committed. He has been
twice tried and convicted, and his punish
ment assessed at death at each conviction.
Twice he appealed his case and twice the
court Of appeals reversed the decision of the
court below on the ground that the evidence
was insufficient to sustain conviction. The
State was unable to furnish further evid ence
Judge Alexander took occasion to say to the
| jury that released him, that neither the court
nor the jury were responsible for this proceed
ing; and that the court only consented to il
because the further detention Of Jones would
put the county to heavy expense, and there
was no hopes ola reorganization Of the court
of appeals by which an affirmance OF convic-
tion could be obtained, but that be protest
cd that the other juries weN
right in convicting the defendant upon the

Dense black clouds oil the western Sky,

The thunders roar, the lightninss fash

Arc all the children In

Their forms within my arms hide
No other arms are sure;
The storm may rage with fury wild
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near
They'll 20 from this warm shelter here

The rain will fall, cold winds blow;

Where hearts are waiting strong aod sure,
And love Is true when tried
Or, will they find n broken reed

VIENNA, april 1.

VIENNA, ADIu |.
A communication from ST. Peters
burg in the Polttisc5e Corrcsroadca=
give the text Of the decree AGAINST
the former Chinese Ambassador there,
who concluded tho treaty about Kuld-
ia. It says
"Tho Procureur-G General Chung
how, who was intrusted With a mis-
sion, has returned without leave. We
have delivered him up to the Jan
Szia-Tshu, the Severe Tribunal; and
order that he should be dismissed
from all his functions and should be
prepared for bis condemnation. The
articles Of the convention agreed TO.
by him, as well as his reports, shall
be transmitted for scrupulous exami-
nation to the C~hanoellors. In this
examination nine Minister'S, Proou-
reurs, Inspectors Of the Academy and
Of the Court Of Inquiry are to take
part"
The communication then says that,
according to the treaty, China was to
pay an Indemnity of five millions of
roubles; two-thirds of the province
Iii (Knldja) were TO return to China
and only cne-third to remain to Rus
STA. The demand of Russia to estab-
lish commercial @consuls in various
places.in China was only agreed to
with regard to a consular agency in

Russian Government. The conclu-
sion drawn from this is that it is not
these concessions which have induced
the Court of Pekin to treat the Ann
bassador as a criminal and to destroy
his work; and in st. Petersburg the
opinion prevails that this strange pro-
ceeding on the part OF the Chinese
Government must be due to the en-
cumstance that Russia refused the
surrender OF several Of the rebel lead
ors wiz had escaped from Kashgar
and ba3 taken refuge IN Russian Iur-
kestan. Before alEochers the Chinese
Government seemed to lay great
stress on getting hold Of a certain
Bojanchu, who played a prominent
Tart in tie successful war Of Yahoob
Khan against China, Int General
Kaufmam declared that important
Russian interests in Turkestan were
il the way of his being given up.
The impression produced upon the
Mahomedan world by .eqchtap act Of
connivance with China would, accord
ing to the opinion of ths Governor
General ofTurkestan, be very power
ful, ard would provoke in the popu-
lation OF Khlva, Bokhara, and Russian
Turkestan an intensely hostile feeling
against the Russian rule Prince
Gortchakotf rejected the demand OF
the Chinese Ambassador in this re-
spect, and this refusal, it seems the
Chinese Government will not take
quietly. In st. Petersbng it isaet-
believed that hoatilitios will begin at
once between Russia and China.
Onlv a few days ago Chaou you-Lien,
tho Chinese charge GA.fajteS there,
announced to III. Giers the immediate
arrival of the resident Chinese Ambas-
sador in England, who hos been COM
missioned to initiate fresh negotiations
with the Russian Cabinet. They evil
dently have not given up the hope in
Pakin that Russia will make conces-
sions on the question OF the delivery
Of the rebel leaders. If, as is almost
certain, this mission will have no
result, China may possibly make. war
like demonstrations. They are not,
however, likely to be much noticed,
as there is but a small opinion held
in Russia about the warlike efficiency
of China. The Chinese army OF
100000 men, armed mostly with
bows and arrows, is distributed over
an enormous territory, SO that the
Chinese Government would in no case
be able to push forward more than
from 40. OO0to $4,000 men towards
the Russian frontier. General kauf-
mann has under his command $4,000
woll-fcund regulars, andt the Mahome-
dams of Russian Turkestan, who are
so hostile to the Chinese, would place
at least twice as many menTat his
disposal. The divisions Semiret-
.chinsk and East and West Siberia
might also be employed in a war
against China, so that ever in Pekin
it ma seem clear that Chinafis not
likely to gain, much from such a war:
The hopeis, therefore, pot excluded
that the differefces at present existing
between Russia YandAChina may be
