Among the ATTORNEYS from nhroad

Among the attorneys from abroad
attending the United States Circuit
and District courts now in session, none
is more familiar to our citizens than
Hon. Geo. F. Hatch, of St. Louis, As
sistant u. S. District attorney. The
important duties of Mr.. Hatch's office
will hardly call him to q field of labor
more pleasant TO himself than Hanni-
bal, among whose citizens and at whose
bar he occupied an honorable position
in the early years of his professional
life. He being an old Hannibal boy, it
will afford our readers peculiar pleasure
TO learn that his name is being prnmi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the Office of Judge of the st. Louis
Court of Appeals To succeed Judge
Lewis, the election for which occurs at
the general election next year. Mr.
Hatch's learning, experience and sterl-
ing probity of character point him out
as one emInently fitted for the judicial
station, and his wide and favorable
acquaintance throughout North asst
Missouri, coupled with the professional
prominence he has won before tie ST.
Louis public must of necessity render
his candidacy formidable-Hdnni6Gt
Morning Journal.
Mr.. Hatch is brother Of Col. Hatch,
one of our ablest Congressman. We
do not know Mr.. Hatch personally,
but learu that he possesses excellent
qualities for an appellate judge.

Franklin stanwood.

The friends of Franklin Stanwood, and
they are numerous, will regret to hear of his
death at Gorhan yesterday. He was the son
Of Captain Stanwood, veteran shipmaster
of this port, was born at sea and had trav-
elled all over the world. He was man of
varied accomplishments, and an artist by
profession. He had great deal of ability
in his chosen calling and was long time
student in the Paris schools. 1t was in ma
rine painting he was at his best and there
are not few who believe that with steady
application he might have been one of the
most distinguished artists in the country.
He was quite poet and especially fond Of
literary people. When in London he went
to see Charles Dickens, and SO impressed
himself upon the celebrated novelist that
when they parted it was with fervent
"God bless you" from Mr.. Dickens. Mr..
Stanwood was whole souled, genial gen.
tlemen, whose conversation was delight,
and who will be sadly missed.

A Report Which Will Strengthen
Forebodings of Evil.

LONDON, June 21.-A despatch from St.
Paul de Loanda says:
Several deserters from Stanley's expedi-
tion have reached Camp Yambunga. After
traversing the upper Aruwhimi, Stanley
struck into rough and mountainous coun-
try covered with dense forests The natives
excited by the reports spread by the Arabs,
disputed the passage of the expedition and
'here was continuous fighting. Stanley was
severely wounded by an arrow and COM
pelled, several times, to construct camps to
repel attacks. He was also Obliged to use
the reserve provisions intended for Emin
Bey. The Soudanese attached to the force
all died or disappeared and the deserters es-
innate that the caravan lost one third of its
men. They say that many of those remain
ing are very i'll, including the Europeans
Stanley was encamped when the deserters
left, surrounded by hostiles and unable to
send news to Emin or directly to Yambunga,
Major Bartellot had returned to Yambunga
where he was awaiting men that Ward was
collecting to form powerful expedition for
the relief of Stanley. The sickness at YAM
bunga is lessening, but only eighty of the
125 Zanzibari survived. Tippoo Tibb re-
cruited 625 men to form two caravans and
started for the interior about the middle of
January Ward left Bona, May 80. for Leo
poldville, where he was to embark his men
and provisions in the Congo State steamer
En- Avant for Aruwhimi. Early in May the
steamer which Stanley left was at Stanley
Falls taking Bartellott and the first of the
reinforcements and supplies. Yambunga
