THE LYNCHING.

Directly connected with all these circum
stances are the terrible events transpiring
on the 14th of March last-events which in
themselves may be charged as directly
rraceable to the miscarriage of justice, as
developed in the verdict rendered on the
18th of March. We are deeply impressed
with the serious charge delivered by your
honor to this body on the subject, and at
no time since have we lost sight of the ne
cessjty for thorough investigation of all
the conditions aDtecedent to it. We have
engaged ourselves most assiduously with
the examination of a large number of wit
nesses embracing those who were present
at the meeting on the street in vicinity OF
parish prl on as well as several hundred Of
our citizens taken from every rank aud
class of society. We find the general senti-
ment among ,hese witnesses and who in
our intercourse with the people that the
verdict as rendered by the jury
was contrary 10 the law and the
evidence. Evidence is before
us from official sources that eleven persons
were killed in th7 attack on the parish
prison. In careful examination as to the
citizenship of those men we find that eight
of them were beyond question American
citizens and one other had declared his in
tention in this court, which act carries with
it the renunciation of allegiance
to his native country. 1t is noteworthy fact
IN connection with the uprising that no in
Jury whatever was done to either person or
property beyond one act, which seemed to
have been the object of the assemblage at
the Parish prison. We have
referred 10 the large number of
citizens participating in this demonstra
ton estimated by Judges from 5000 to 1000
regarded as spop taneous uprising of the
| people. The mapr itude of this affair
| makes il sufficient task 10
fix 1t upon any number of participants In
fact the act seemed to involve the entire
people OF the parish and city of New Or
leans, so profuse is their sympathy and ex
tended their connection with the affair
In view of these considerations, through
examination of the subject has failed to
disclose the necessary facts to justify this
grand jury in presenting indictments.

Lawlessness at HillsbOrO.

HILLsBoRo, May 5.-Last Friday nigh
the residence of Mr.. X, E. Bauch, one o.
our leading saddlers, was shot into nine
times and Mr.. Bauch wounded. Mr.
Bauch abandoned his home and Sunday
night last the officers watched at the house
but no one put in an appearance. Last
night a candle was left burning in the
house but no officer on guard, when
about o'clock large number of shots
were fired into the house from Winchester
rifles. Mr. Bauch has became so much
alarmed that he declares his intention oi
leaving here at once.

ITALY.
EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.


ROME, May 5.-America is drawing away
the population of some parts of Italy with
remarkable rapidity. The exodus is most
marked in the Bolesing region on the Po,
near Parma, where 400 out of 20Oo families
have emigrated this year. Ninety-fv
families left Crespino together last
week. Geville, which year ago had
5000 inhabitants, now has but $40.
Polasella has lost thlrty-seven families,
who all departed at one time
The movement from Bonigo on the Adija
is so extensive that special trains are run
emigrants. The effect of SO many depar-
lures is beginning to be shown in an alarm.
manner. Husbandry and trade languish
for lack of employees. The authorities
would gladly adopt some method OF
checking movement if they could.

business and to do and perform such acts
as they may deem for the best interests of
Austin in the premises
In conclusion your committee wishes to
emphasize the fact that they consider the
securing of the permanent home of the
Texas militia at Austin ofvery great impor
tance and to urge upon our citizens the i'm
portance of prompt, liberal and determined
action.
Whatever is done must be done promptly
as all bids must be submitted not later than
the 9th inst. We understand that several
other cities will strenously compete with us
and the only hope of our success lies IN
prompt and liberal action"
After reading the report General
Roberts stated that the military force
of the state at this time consisted of
about $500 men and that under tn
law they would have to go into camp.
Ho also explained that the United
States troops always took part and
that the attraction drew thousands of
visitors. The encampment was inn
portant and the city could not afford
to overlook and let it 60 by.
Mr.. George Cleveland then spoke
earnestly in favor of the enterprise
and put in some timely and ringing
licks urging the Importance of earnest
action.
Some discussion followed pending
which Mr.. Frank Maddox moved that
a committee of three be appointed to
get options on the various sites and
put in bids for the camp and if sue
cessful the property selected to be
purchased and turned over to the
state military purposes.
DR.. Day moved that the committee
be made five, and Mr.. Maddox's mo-
ton as amended was adopted.
The chairman appointed the follow
ing gentlemen on the committee:
Messrs. Frank Maddox, Gen. Rob-
erts, DR.. Jo hn Tobiu, John Peeler and
G. H. Lebold.
Mr.. Scarborough suggested that it
would be opportune to have commit
tee appointed to solicit subscriptions
to stock, so as to have no delay in the
matter. He suggested that this COM
mittee be requested to report at a
meeting to be called.
Doc Day moved that committee OF
five be appointed to solicit subscrip-
ton and donations.
Carried, and the following gentlemen
were appointed:
Messrs. Walter Tips, E. M. Scar
brough, Doc Day, j. H. Warmoth
Joseph w. Burke and Charles Lund-
berg.
Some discussion then followed ane
it was determined to call meeting a

GENERAL GRANTS SPEECH.
A Story Which The Late General Sherman Was
Fond Of Telling.

The following characteristic anecdote
Of General Grant was told and illustrated
with exquisite humor by General Sher-
man at little dinner:
Grant and l were at Nashville, Tenn,
after the battle Of Chattanooga. Our quar-
tiers were in the same building.
Zone day Grant came into the room
that used for an Office. Twas very busy,
surrounded with papers, muster rolls,
plans, specifications, etc. When l looked
up from my work saw he seemed good
deal bothered and, after standing around
awhile, with his shoulders thrown up
and his hands deep down in his trousers
pockets, he said:
"'Look here, there are some men here
from Galena.'
"Well2' I said.
Looking more uncomfortable every
minute, he went on:
They've got q sword they want TO
give me- and looking over his shoulder
and jerking his thumb in the same direc-
ton, he added:
"'Will you come in?'
"He looked quite frightened at the idea
Of going to face them alone, so put some
weights on my several piles Of papers to
keep them from blowing around and went
into the next room, followed by Grant,
who by this time looked as he might II
he was goingto be court martialed. There
we found the mayor and some members
Of the board Of councilmen Of Galena. On
table in the middle Of the room was .
handsome rosewood box containing q
magnificent gold-hilted sword with all the
appointments equally splendid.
"The mayor stepped forward and de-
livered what was evidently q carefully
prepared speech, setting forth that the
citizens Of Galena had sent him TO pre-
sent General Grant the accompanying
sword, not as q testimonial to his great
ness as q soldier, but as q slight proof Of
their love and esteem for him as a man,
and their pride in him as a fellow citizen.
cater delivering the speech, the mayor
produced q large parchment scroll, TO
which was attached by q long blue rib
bon q red seal as big as pancake, and
on which was inscribed q set Of compli-
mentary resolutions. Then he proceeded
TO read TO US, not emitting q single where
as or 'hereunto.' And after finishing the
reading he rolled It up with great solem-
nifty and ceremony and handed It to
Grant.
General Grant took It, looked ruefully
at it and held IL as u II burnt him. Mrs.
Grant, who had been standing beside her
husband, quietly took Il from him, and
there was dead silence for several min
utea. Then Grant, sinking bis head
lower on his chest and hitching his shout
ders up higher, and looking thoroughly
miserable, began hunting In his pockets,
diving first In one and then In another,
and Of last said: Gentlemen, knew
you were coming here 10 give me this
sword, and so prepared short speech
and with look Of relief he drew from bis
trousers pocket o crooked, crumpled piece
Of paper and handed It TO the mayor Of
Galena, adding, and, gentlemen, here
