The Hnytian Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-There are no
new developments in regard to the case OF
the steamer Haytisn Republic. Secretary
Whitney is still in New York, but is expect
ed to return to Washington this afternoon.
Full and specific instructions in regard TO
the management Of the expedition have
been given to Rear Admiral Luce, com
handing the North Atlantic squadron and
their execution is all that remains to be done.
He is to proceed to Port-au.Prinos aud re-
quest the release of tho steamer Haytian
Republic and if the authorities refuse to sur
render her to him, he is to SEIZE the vessel
by force of arms and take her TO some neu
trial territory, where she can be restored to

RiOtOus Strikers.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10.-Later advices from
Bevier, Mo-, are to the effect that when Gov
ernor Morehouse arrived at Bevier he
found the contending factions, the striking
miners and the new men who have sup
planted.them, armed 10 the teeth refusing to
recognize any authority save the militia
The leaders stated they were not disposed
to question the authority of the State, but
declined to surrender to the county authori-
ties. Gov. Morehouse therefore called out the
militia in order to give the belligerents an
opportunity to surrender arms and thus re
store peace. The fire last night was most
disastrous, destroying the greater portion Of
the business portion of Bevier. There is no
doubt that the contlagration is due to incen-
diary causes, but there is no evidence upon
which anyone can be convicted for the
crime. 1t is understood that the military,
under the direction of Governor Morehouse
will disarm both factions and at least tenn.
p%orarily restore order.

Tragedy iii Alabama.

List Tuesday the body of q young girl
was found doating in the lake at Lakeview
Park, two miles from Birmingham, Ala.
The remains were Identified as those OF
Mamie Halves, the twelve year old daugh-
ter of Richard r. Halves, a railroad engi-
neer, and the autopsy disclosed the fact that
the child had been killed by means of chic
reform. The last person TO see the girl
alive was Fannie Bryant, q colored woman,
and she testified thRt Mr.. Halves, her faith
er, was with her. Halves was arrested,
charged with the murder, immediately on
his arrival at Birmingham from Column
bus, Mics with IA young bride, whom he
had lust married there. He denied all
knowledge of the crime. The finding of
the body of the girl brougnt into prom
inence the fact that her mother was also
missing. Searching parties secured the
country, the lake WAS dragged, and about
uoon Saturday the body of Mrs. Halves was
found at tho bottom Of the lake, half q mile
from where the family lived. The back OF
the woman's bead bad been split open by a
blow with all axe. Securely fastened around
the neck was n piece of railroad iron weigh
ing fifty pounds. Another weight was tied
to her waist and q third to her ankles. A
search of tho HAYES cottage revealed blood
stains in nearly every room. A trail OF
blood leading in the direction of the lake
was also found. Facts were obtained show
ing that Halves ABOUT two months ago had
beat his wife with a large stick, breaking
one OF her arms and two ribs. He failed
to provide her with proper clothing or
sufficient money, and she told several
persons that he had threatened on sew
eral occasions to kill her. HAYES had
two children. The second one is missing,
aud there is no longer any doubt that che,
too, has been murdered. The news of the
finding of the body of Mrs. HAYES spread
rapidly, and threats of lynching were freely
made. The sheriff desired to remove HAYES
to Montgomery for safety, but he said he
preferred to remain in his cell. The guard
around the Jail was increased to thirty meE,
all armed with Winchester rifles. a crowd
which had been collecting on the streets for
several hours Saturday night a. midnight
advanced on the county Jail with the inten.
ton of lynching HAYES. When the crowd
was within a few feet of the all door and
had failed to need numerous warnings, the
officers opened iife on them, killing three
men instantly, fatally wounding seven, and
wounding more or less seriously about thir-
" Others. Among the killed was NJ. B.
T~hrockmorton, postmaster, a very promi-
nent and popular citizen. Col. Thomas G.
Jones, OF the Secoud Regiment of Alabama
State troops, arrived yesterday morning with
five companies, and is confident of his abili.
ty to prevent another attempt at mob vic
lence.

EVER SINCE the last European War there
has rarely been u period of more than six
months ut a time during which there has
not been a rumor of the near approach OF
another one. Ia the present condition of
the European powers none of them can well
afford o war, and the contingencies of one,
not only to the principals, but to ali the 9th
ers, are so dangerous that all are interested
in preventing one. To disinterested Ameri
cans it seems that if there be an early war
in Europe, it will be a civil war In France,
for not Only ara powerful parties in that
country in favor Of war, but the friends of
monarchy in all the others are praying, and
thel efore, necessarily, doing gil they can TO
promote it, as an impressive object lesson
TO their own people, and q most effective
means 10 prevent the spread of republican
ism into their own borders.

A "prominent" Northern democrat has
recently said that he was rather glad Of the
late democratic defeat, rs it would warn
the party against appointing ex-rebels to
prominent positions. But this same prom.
inent" Northern democrat did not manifest
his objection to the appointment of such ex-
rebels as Minister Longstreet, Minister Orr,
Consul Mosby, Postmaster General Key,
Attorney General Alderman, Secretary
Hunt, Judge Ssttle, and numerous other ez
C~onfederates by republican administrations,
The Northern democrat who iss 80 prejudiced
by his s%ectioualism as to blame the admins
tration for appointing to office a few of the
representatives of the States that supplied
more than threc-fourths Of the votes 10y
which it was elected, ought to leave his
party, which la a national one, and join the
republicans. What possible chance would
any Northern democrat have for a federal
office, If it were not for the votes of the Eek
rebels'i and their sons.

The TAX on wool has been retained but
the largest wool growing firm 10 New York
State has just failed. Foreign wool has to
be imported in order to mix with American
wool for the manufacture ofmany American
wooden goods. The more of euch imported
wool, the more American wool is used to
mix with it. But the tariff on foreign wool
is so heavy that its importation is restricted,
and consequently the home demand for
American wool is diminished.

THAT THERE are some Northern men

%structiou:
There is an ugly rock on which
we once were nearly shipwrecked, upon
which we are again driving. The sectional
differences of '6l have been steadily Guilt
waited for selfish partisan ends, and to-day
tho North is united, as far as q maJority
can unite, against q solid South. While
recognizing the fact that it is only
through Il careful and jealous guardianship
of the home governments found IN the
States that this wide continent can be held
under one control as a nation, we nave the
dominant party fatally bent GU a centrali
zation of power 10 the political structure al
Weshineton. The negro is the Chinaman
of the South, and while Congress excludes
through legal enactment the Monaghan
from our midst, that same Congress presses
the ignorant, vicious African upon the
South. This means not only q subversion
of political rights, but g social revolution
that will make q San Domingo and an Ire
land Of half our territorial limits. The
South cannot submit to this and live. The
S5uth has given o bloody pledge to it's in,
tent in this direction that it would be wei
for us to remember. The North can wei
come negroes to its fresides, may return
them to office because of their color, FOL
this means votes, and nothing more. But
at the South it signifies o great deal more
il means the suhjugation of the white race
politically and socially to the domination
