= The recent assassination in Leghorn

The recent assassination in Leghorn
OF Giovanni G. Ferenzona, a promi.
nent Journalist, has produced a pro-
found impression throughout Italy
and is having considerable political
effect. Ferenzona was the Leghorn
correspondent of the Florence Gaz-
zetta d'Italia, and was much disliked
by the republicans for his structures
on the action of their party. Two
pamphlets which he printed attacking
Garibaldi irritated the populace
against him to such a point that his
friends believed that his life was in
danger and urged him to leave the
city for a time. He refused to 90,
and went about the streets as usual
taking no %preoaution save to provide
himself witlla revolver. AT O'Clock
In the evening of the 10Th of April.
as ne was crossing the Piazza Cavour,
an unknown man rushed upon him
and stabbed him three times in the
breast with a dagger before he could
draw his weapon. Ferenzona was car
ried to the hospital and died in a few
hours. The assassin has not been
arrested. The murdered journalist is
said to have been a mar of courage.
honor and conscientious oonvictionso on
political questions, though his sharp,
aggressive style of writing was calcu-
lated less to convince than to enrage

ing is a specimen from that paper o,

Would any man of the grateful
thousands who greeted General GRAM
at Philadelphia with cheers of wei.
come a few months ago, have believed
that he would allow his friends to put
him into a scufle for the presidential
nomination-that he would allow earn.
est republicans to be denounced
as traitors for insisting on the right
to vote at Chicago as their con.
sciences should dictate, and their
constituents should desire, and that
such d~isOrganizing and intolerant ac-
ton as the Cook county bolt would be
perpetrated in his name? IF General
Grants fame suffers in this struggle
forplace, twill not bethe opponents Of
the third term who work the damage.
A great many people have unpleasant
memomries of his administration, but
they have studiously RETAINED from
saying aught to recall those days and
dolngs. The advocates of other can
dldates have treated General Grant
with rare magnanimity. They are
panied to see him brought down from
the high level of esteem and affection
which he occupies as the leader
of the Union armies. Can
he be so blinded by ambition
that he cannot see how seriously his
injudicious friends are imperilling his
reputation2 1t looks now as if he
were doomed to certain defeat. and a
victory gained by the methods his
friends are employing, and which it
must be presumed that he sanctions,
would only be less disastrous than de-
feat. IfGeneral Grant would stop q
moment and compare his present posi-
ton with the one he occupied on his
return, and would consider that as
this unseemly struggle grows more
bitter he must sink still lower in pop
ular esteem, his good sense would lead
him to make the one declaration
which would make him Americas
first citizen, and assure him of a place
in history beside Washington and
Lincoln.
