The trial was begun in Paris yesterday
of the Marquis dc Rays and seventeen other
persons, who are charged with man
Slaughter, fraud and Infringement of the
public companies and emigration laws. In
July, 1877, the Marquis de Rays advertised
land for sale in the island of Port Breton,
in Oceanica, and inaugurated a scheme
for emigration thereto. The Legitimist
papers interested themselves in the en-
terprise, and 100000 francs were
subscribed to further it. Of this
sum the Marquis de Rays pock-
eted 100000 francs. 1t is stated that
100000 hectares of land were sold, although
the island only contains 1000 hectares. The
Marquis had maps of the island published,
in which were indicated imaginary houses,
churches and roads. Finally he dispatched
to the island four sailing ships with a num-
ber of emigrants, a majority of whom per-
ished under the most miserable circum-
stances. On one vessel thirty emigrants
died during the passage, 250 more died from
hunger and disease after reaching Port
Breton, and five others were captured and
eaten by natives of the island. Only 100
of the unfortunate people succeeded in
reaching a friendly cou ntry.

:
Mr.. ]. NJ. Wright, general manager of the
Southern Exposition, has received letter
from President Arthur, in which he says: "No
time was ever moro auspicious than the pres.
ent for such an enterprise; nor could 1t find q
home In any more fitting spot than that which
has been chosen for 1t. You are not misled by
enthusiasm. You but speak the words of
truth and soberness when you say that q new
era has dawned for the South, in which, as
believe, It is destined to display, in the devel-
opment OF Its marvellous resources, such zoal
and energy as have never yet been exhibited
in any region OF our country at any
period of our National life. The
proposed exhibition will disclose
how vast field the South now offers for every
phase OF Industrial effort, in the mine, the
Held, the factory-everywhere indeed, where
activity and skill can find room for employ
ment. And the influences of the noble under
taking Will by no means be limited to Its more
material consequences. 1t will assist in
quenching the spirit of sectional antagonism,
already by Gods blessing well-nigh extinct.
1t will bring the people of the land into more
intimate acquaintance and sympathy. II Will
bind them together In closer devotion to the
sentiment which now dwells In every patrl.

destiny" "

ed Judge Folger last autumn for governor,
and which have since the election tried to
S me dsys
land, to give heed to the stories which come
from Washington in relation to him, for they
be laughed down. The Washington CRITIC, a
paper printed under the. very eye of
Judge Folger,, in explaining a ru.
would not sit with Foiger in private box al
Barnums circus says the rupture between
the two men grew out OF case before the
Treasury Department; Conkllng, who repre-;
sented De Barry, the importer OF wines and
mineral water, appeared before Judge Folger
and urged that Appollinaris water be placed on
the free list and not be subjected to duty.
The argument made by the ex-senator was SO
conclusive, backed up as 1t was by opinions
of former Secretaries of the Treasury, that
decision was looked for almost on
the conclusion of the speech. Such was not
tho case, however, and weeks rolled by With
out word from the Secretary to show that
Conkling's argument had even been listened
to, much less carried weight. The delay was
very annoying to the importer, and beside
expensive, for the collector at New York per-
sisted in imposing duty on the water.
pered to De Barry that he employ lawyer
who lived In the same house with Secretary
Folger, and hc did so, and the decision
came Immediately thereafter In almost the
words of Mr.. Conkllng's argument. II
this story is true 1t is not to be wondered at
that Roscoe Conkling declined to sit with
Folger or recognize him. II the story Is false
the papers which supported Judge aFolger
with so much warmth last autumn should
speak In no uncertain terms and brand 1t as
the coinage OF scoundrel who would
not hesitate to blast the fair name of
public man. The people are entitled
TO know whether there Is a grain OF truth
in the circumstantial tale and whether
the.Treasury Department. like tile late Judge
Barnard, of the Tweed ring, has Its Gratz, who
alone has the power to influence the Secre
tary. If Judge Folger is playing Into the
hands of a lawyer and will listen to only his
Interpretation Of law the President should
know OF it, and that, too, without delay. The
Government cannot afford TO retain a man at
the head of the Treasury Department who
uses his office solely for the benefit of his
bosom friends.

FROM the OUTSET It is said, the defendants
have been sure Of three 1urymen, and with
out repeating the names of the gentlemen
whom the reports thus assail, 1t may only be
mentioned that the mysterious givings out of
the confident friends of the accused persons
are to the effect that one of the jurymen has
been active in this case for the defendants out
of corrt and that his Influence has been ex-
erted so successfully that he can be depended
upon in the jury-room to prevent conviction.

TIE plain, common sense people of the
country are not pleased with the million
acre sales of land to foreign capitalists,
while such capitalists claim to be only
agents for colonists. 1t looks too much
like the methods of large landholders in the

long to the actual workers and not to capt.
talists, and it is a great misfortune to any
State for its lands to be held in large bodies
by speculators.
