..Ignatius' had been giving his i'm
Pressio9s OF a; visit to Germany, and his
eonelUsidas were that the irritation against
France vas bitter and general; that the
governnlent, and especially Prince Bis
marck, were fostering it, and that the Ger
man presSTas deliberately accentuating it.
The Cologne Gazette answers as follows:
"Yes after incessant insults and provoca-
tions, the5German nation has become pos
sessed witha feeling of profound exaspera-
tion., 1t is persuaded that France does
not wish that it should attain state of
tranquility. The hope that the antagonism
OF the two races would peacefully subside,
that the wounds Of the late war would
gradualls heal, Is almost. totally vanished,
Coiisequtatly our people. are penetrated
with the sdea that, since the bloody strug-
gle is inevitable, it were better that 1t
came .as soon as possible, especially as the
present condition of; Germany is as fsvot-
able as could be wished" 1t is no wonder
that such plain speaking is causing alarm
in Paris. Will it have any effect, We Won
der, on the Tonquin votes? Itmay be in
teresting to note, as an instance of the
costliness of modern war, that the total
ascertained expenditure of France upon
the war on which she entered with light
heart in August, 1870, is now declared to
be e341 ,440, 600. As the war began in Au-
gust and ended in January, this makes
the cost to France of her march to Berlin
almost exactly e2,0O0, 900 day, without
counting the permanent loss of two OF her
wealthiest provinces.

Special to the Appeal
ORANGE, November 29.-No clew has
yet been discovered to the murderers of
the young girl, Phoebe Paullin, at Orange.
N. ]. A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the authorities, and $500 by the citi-
zens of the county, for any information
leading to the arrest and conviction of the
guilty parties. The scene of the murder
has been visited by thousands, the bush
under which the body Of the murdered girl
was discovered having a special attraction.
Leaves and twigs despatched with the
blood of the victim are broken off and
carried away by visitors. The detectives
have found pair of gray stockings tipped
with white in the neighboring shrubbery,
which they think were probably used by
the murderers to stifle the cries of their
unfortunate victim. The latest report is
that couple of bloody shirts found near
the scene of the tragedy, belonged to a
young man who has been missing since
Saturday morning last. The blood with
which they are dyed is said, by
physician who has examined it
under microscope, to be that of a wo-
man. Before the jury of inquest a farmer
testified that he saw buggy and two men
following Miss Paullin, and that when it
came up with her it suddenly stopped,
then drove rapidly away. The young lady
was shown to be virtuous up to the hour
of her death, and the whole affair is one
OF the greatest mystery.

DOUBLE DROWNING.
Fatal Accident on the River During the
Fog Yesterday.
Graphic Description of the Scene by n
Member of the Party.

About o'clock yesterday morning nine
white laborers, employed on the Little
Rock railroad incline at Hopefield, got
into 4 skiff and started across to this side
of the river to 90 to work but met with an
accident by which two of them lost their
lives. The names of those in the boat
were Fred West, Harry Meyers, Frank
Redden, Jerry Haley, William Carter, S.
A. Huselin, John Lafferty, an Englishman
named John -- and one other.
An APPEAL reporter succeeded yestef-
day evening in finding Frank Redden, one
of the party, and obtained from him q
graphic account of the accident. lie said:
THE skif we put Off in was q very large
one and has several times carried as many
as seventeen or eighteen men with their
tools. The Oarsnan was one OF the best
on the river, John --, the English
man. There was some fog on the river
when we pushed off from Hope
field, but it became thicker and
thicker as we neared the Tennessee
shore, finally becoming SO dense that We
could not see objects ten feet away. We
passed lot of loaded coal barges, which
set down low in the water, and then
pulled in for what we thought to be the
point. In the tog, however, we had mis-
taken an empty shell barge for the land
ing place. 1t rode away up out of the water,
the end sloping in from the top down to
the surface. The mistake was discovered
too late and the skiff struck the barge
broadside. II was instantly overturned
and swept under the barge. Every one OF
us went under with it. We emerged at
the other end at about the same time with
the sSif, and five of us swung on to the
sides. had on big overcoat and pair
OF heavy boots, and it was rough work,
can tell you. Almost Immediately after
ward l saw a darky coming out
of the mouth of Wolf river in
skiff and letting go my hold, made for
it. All of us succeeded in climbing in
except West and Meyers, who were
drowned, and another man who clutched
the sides OF the skiff SO tight with his
hands that we could not break his hold,
so we towed him along down the river un-
til Capt. McNeely brought the tug Desoto
out and took us all aboard. 1t was a
pretty rough deal, and no mistake"
Capt McNeely, who witnessed the acci-
dent, declares that he never saw so much
fortitude displayed by any set of men in
his life before. They were perfectly blue
with cold when taken out, but did not
utter word of distress or complaint
The body of Harry Meyers, one of the
drowned men, has not yet been recovered.
The corpse of the other Fred West, was
found floating and taken ashore at the
elevator, where an inquest was held by
Justice Quigley. West was about forty
years of age; partially bald and with his
right eye gone. Meyers was about thirty
FIVE years of age, good looking, with light
hair and whiskers. Both were apparently
Germans and were hard-working men.
Nothing of their past could be learned.

James Dodson to assist him in arresting

met Stanford in the road on his way to
school and commanded him to surrender,
which he refused to obey. The officer at
tempted to fire, when Stanford shot him
dead. Dodson began to shoot, when STAN

and soon overtaken, when he turned and
killed Dodson, and was himself killed by
his pursuer, both shooting at the same
time. Stanford lived twelve hours, Just
long enough to tell the tale. The other
two died with their boots on.

ter on The. retired, list The bill went
through the Senate last winter, and is
likely to do SO again. At that time Sena-

Senator Sherman refrained from voting
because he did not wish to antagonize the
sess of the Republicans, and would not
vote against Mr. Porter Malone was en-
cused on the ground that it wis delicate
thing Tor an eX-rebel to decide on such a
case. With these five retaining their po-
sition OF last winter, the measure will
easily pass the Senate. 1t cannot fail in
the Democratic House, and Gen. Grants
influence with the President is thought to
be strong enough to secure his signature.
Gen. Fremont's friends are also likely to
endeavor to have him put on the retired
list with the rank of maior-general. He
is very needy.

venice starts a Cotton.Mtn.

Rome dispatch to the London Times:
The opening of large cotton-alill and the
introduction of the cotton manufacture in
Venice was the occasion of a ceremony of
Inauguration few days ago, in which the
religious, civil and military authorities,
several Senators and Deputies, and a large
number OF other persons invited took
part. After the guests had been shown
over the establishment and their attention
specially directed to the S00-herse power
engine for moving the machinery, Cardi-.
nal Agostina, patriarch of Venice, deliv-
cred brief discourse and pronounced
blessing on the building and the under
taking. At the banquet, with which the
inauguration closed, speeches were made
by Deputies Maurogonate and Robecchi,
the project of Venice, Mgr. Bernardo, Ba-
ron Cantoni, the Senator Fornoni (chair-
man of the company, and Sig. Cattanei,
representing the syndic, who said that
he willingly babe farewell to the old
Venice, uselessly artistic, and well
coined and applauded the new Venice,
industrial and wealthy. There is no cause,
however, for the Society for the Preserva-
ton of Ancient Buildings to take alarm,
for the cotton-mill, which will give en-
ployment to 1000 operatives, is situated at
Campo di Marte, near the railway station.
Especially noteworthy are the prompt
recognitions now given by the higher
clergy to all new industrial enterprises
worthy of it and the part they take in
them. Without multiplying instances, l
may mention that when the inaugural
train of the new Terni Riei and Aquila
railway line reached Aquila the arch
bishop, Mgr. Vicentini, attended by some
of his clergy, was at the station to compli-
ment Sig. Genala, the Minister of Pub
lie Works, and when the Minister went,
on the day but one after, to Solmona,
whence new line is being constructed to
Rome, the bishop and his clergy paid him
visit at the house of the syndic, Baron
Sardi, to add his expressions of satisfac-
tion IN those of the civil authorities

The Pretended London Dynamiters.

LONDON, November 29.-The Frenchman
arrested last evening Oh suspicion of being
implicated with Wolff in the plot to blow
up the German embassy, is named Bon
durand. The charge against him is Grim
inal conspiracy. Bondurand is brother
of the Frenchman who gave information
which led to the arrest of Wolff, and after
ward made his escape. Wolff and Bon
durand were arraigned in the Bow Street
Police Court to-day. Poland appeared
as prosecutor in behalf of the
Treasury. 1t was shown that the
prisoners were not members of a
secret society. 1t appears that their
object was either to cause an explosion at
the German embassy, or by timely warn
ing of the police, prevent the pretended
intended explosion, and fix the guilt upon
some innocent person. A man named
Kallborn, alias Farrell, is also implicated
in the plot. Kallborn was accepted as a
witness. In the meantime, the four cul-
prits communicated with the police behind
each others back, each trying to secure
himself and get the reward. Wolff pleaded
that he was the victim OF a conspiracy.
The prisoners were remanded until next
