The populace was beginning to gather
as the cavalry officers came sauntering
back from the stables, and Mr. Abrams,
of Chicago, again alighted from his bug
gy with an air that fully conveyed his
appreciation of the fact that he was the
popular hero of the moment-the daring
journalist who had bearded the lion in
his den, had publicly denounced the
brutality of these arrogant wearers of
straps and swords, and had even brought
to the bar of justice one of their num-
Der. There was the utmost curiosity to
see the representative of The Palladium,
and that eminent journalist, true to his
principles Of conforming with the views
and wishes of the public, graciously ac-
corded every opportunity.
1t was in passing this gentleman, sur
rounded by gaping party of Central
citizens, that the colonel somewhat os-
tentatiously called out, Orderly, give
my compliments to the adjutant, and

County Jail Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, July ga census
bulletin issued today shows the num-
Der of prisoners in the county jails of
Tennessee to be 654, against 404 ten
years ago. The proportion to por>
ulation is $40 in each million now,
and was 313 in each million in 1880.
OF the total number in the jails of
the State 1873 were colored, of which
2S1 were pure-blooded negroes, and
SO mixed with white blood. Only s
of the entire 654 were foreign born.
Lewis County reports that it has no
Jail, and the following counties re-
port no prisoners in their jails: Ben
ton, Bledsoe, Chester, Clay, Cumber-
land, Decatur, DeKalb, Dickson,
Fentress, Henderson, Humphreys,
James, Macon, Meigs, Moore, Perry,
Sequatchie, Trousdale and Union.
OF the total number in the jails OF
the State, sixty.seven, or about 10
per cent, are females, twenty-five OF
that number being colOred.

THE AMERICAN AND MCDOWELL.

The Nashville American devoted
four pages last Sunday to second
grand onslaught upon John H. Me-
Dowell. 1t appeared this time to
have Mcdowell cornered, sure. The
charges against him were made
stronger than before, and were sus-
tanned by evidence and statements
which it seemed he could not posi-
bly, answer or refute, yet in a five
column article in Tuesdays Banner
Mcdowell glides out as smoothly as
an eel would move through pool of
Shiny water. The American of
Wednesday had not word to say
regarding McDowell's second defense.
1t seems to have been perfectly
dumbfounded at the ease with which
he slipped from the grasp of its nu-
merous charges. If the evidence,
statements, and arguments which
have so far have been offered by both
sides were submitted to disinterest-
ed jury, we are inclined to think
their verdict would be favorable to
Mcdowell. We do not doubt for a
moment that the Americans charges
against Mcdowell are true, and
could be proven in a court of justice,
but he is too shrewd to give the
American a chance to do so. The
issue has been an unfortunate one for
the American, has done Mcdowell
no harm-he had nothing to lose
and has certainly done the Democrat
ic party in the State no good.

beautiful shadows and reflections.

Gov. BUCHANAN succeeded in
briging about an amicable adjustment
of the trouble with the coal miners in
East Tennessee last Friday evening.
On the Governors promise to con-
vene the Legislature in extra session
at an early date and submit the
whole question of penitentiary, lease,
removal etc., to that body, the
miners agreed to suspend hostilities
and allow the convicts to go back to
work.at Briceville unmolested. The
military companies left Knox
vile Saturday, reaching their homes
the following day. The Governor
has announced that he will convene
the Legislature not later than the
10Th of August. About three hum
dred convicts have been sent to Brice-
vile, and there is general feeling
through East Tennessee that there
will be more trouble, as it is feared
that the Legislature cannot relieve
the situation.

In Baron Fava's second point he de-
mands the recognition, In principle,
that an indemnity is duo to the rela-
tives OF the victims. He is assuredly
under grave error when he declares
that the United states declined to take
this demand into consideration, and
shall regret II he has communicated
such conclusion to your government
The United States, so far from refusing,
has distinctly recognized the principle
OF indemnity to those Italian subjects
who may have been wronged by viola
ton OF the rights secured TO them under
the treaty with the United States of
February 90, 1871.

Fava the assurance that, under the

happy tragedy at New Orleans on the
l4th OF March last should be most
thoroughly investigated. have also
informed him that in matter of such
gravity the government OF the United
States would not permit itself to be I'M
duly hurried; nor will it make answer
to any demand until every fact essen
tial to a correct judgment shall have
been fully ascertained through legal
authority. The impotence Of the ag-
grieved may be natural, but its lingul-
gence does not always secure the most

THE MARQUIS RESPONSE SIGNIFICANT.
The fact that Secretary Blaine adj
dressed his letter to Marquis Imperiali,
charge d affairs, is OF significance as
demonstrating that this government
does not regard the rupture Of
diplomatic relations caused by Baron
Fava's recall as complete. Had that
view been taken, the communication
would have been addressed to the Ital.
ian government direct or through the
medium of Minister Porter at Rome.
How the matter is viewed by the Italy
government will be disclosed by the repl-
to the secretary's letter. II the charge
d'Affaires replies as such it must be
construed as an acknowledgment that
the Italian government is still repre-
sented in the United States by its legs-
tion. But il he announces that he Is
without authority to reply and suggests
q transmital of the secretary's commu-
to Rome it may be taken as an
evidence that direct diplomatic relations
the two countries are at "a
end.
