Congressman Singleton has ad
dressed a long letter to the voters
of the new Fifth district of Mis-
sissippi, in which he intends to
run for Congress.
Congressman Geo. w. Jones, of
Texas, announces himself as a
candidate for election to the gov
ernOrship of that state on the in
dependent ticket.
Gov. Cornell has heen driven by
what is termed "Arthurism" in
New York state to consult with
Collector Robertson on some new
method of re-uniting the Repub-
lican party there. The Governor
does not deny that he wants to be
re-nominated, and to get this he
solicits the support of the half
breeds in the state convention.
The Democratic denunciations
of Governor Crittenden on account
of Jesse James removal are said
to have scared him out of all pos
sible thoughts of reelection.

LORD FREDERICK CHARLES CAV
ENDIsH, whose appointment to be
Chief Secretary of Ireland was noted
last week, was brutally assassinated
in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on Satur-
day evening, shortly after seven
O'Clock. His private Secretary met
his death at the same time. They
were stabbed, not shot, as first re-
ported. They were both strolling in
the park, about half a mile from the
city gate, and quarter of mile
from the Chief Secretary's lodge,
when a car drove up containing four
men, two of whom jumped down
from the car and attacked Lord Fred
erick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke,
Stabbing them both several times in
the throat and breast. The victims
struggled hard for life, and in the
struggle became separated, their bo-
dies being found some ten PAGES
apart. The tragedy occurred about
ten minutes after seven O'Clock in
the evening, and in broad daylight.
The event is so deplorable, the crime
so monstrous and without excuse
that it raises the presumption that
it must be the act of some such ill
balanced wretch as Guiteau or of a
murderous mailman like MacLean,
the lunatic who recently shot at the
Queen.
This atrocious act cannot be char
ged to the Land League. Lord Cav
endish was appointed under change
of administrative policy favorable to
the Land Leaguers' principles and
the new Secretary must have been
regarded as representative of those
principles. 1t was then not to the
interest of the Land League to re-
move him, and there is nothing in
the teachings of the Land League
itself advocating or countenancing
such violence. 1t is the hope of all
classes of civilized people that the
assassins may be discovered and
brought to justice, but it is not prob
able that the Government of Great
Britain will make any change in its
Irish policy by reason of this shock
ing crime.

The Prussian Coup D'Etat.
EXCITEMENT IN PARIS OVER TIKI
BLANQUI INCIDENT.

BERLIN, Jan. 9.--Herr Richter vehemently
attacked Bismarck whom he reproached with
dragging the name of the Emperor into the
debate whenever doubtful question was be-
fore the House. Bismarck left the chamber

The rescript excited much comment in the
lobby where it was regarded as signal either
of impending dissolution of the Reichstag or
of the Introduction of disciplinary measures
against public officials. The Prussian Diet
will debate the rescript. Prussian officials
politically opposed to the government intend
to issue declaration stating that their attitude
will be in keeping within their duty as citizens
and their oath of allegiance.

Story.

Discredit Thrown Upon the Irkutsh
Story.
New York, Jan. 9.--Referring to the des-
patch from st. Petersburg stating that some
relics of the Jeanette were found in boat,
the Herald says:-"Tbe accounts from the
Rodgers mp to Oct. IS, 1881, make no mention
OF meeting with the Chasseur. The story of
the boat with corpses and silver spoons marked
Jeanette is evidently derived from the find
ing BY three Chukchees of the wreck of the
whaler Vigilant with corpses on board, and
two knives among the articles carried off
marked ". The wreck was seen off the ST.
berian coast and no wreck was. found upon
Herald Island. Lieut.. Berry never expressed
an intention of wintering on Herald Island,
All of the crew of the Jeanette have been ac-
counted for in Engineer Melyille's dispatches
from the mouth of the Lena"
ST.. PETERSBURG, Jan. 9.-Two circumstan-
ces justify the belief that the story telegraphed
from Irkutsk is untrue. First, because Mr..
Soulkowski's arrival at Irkutsk was published
q week ago and nothing was then said about
the Jeanette; and second, because the news
ought 10 have come long ago from the Strelok,
which should have been in Chinese ports not
later than September. The American lie ga
ton have not received anything.
