KILLED BY ITALIANS.
The Foreman of a Railroad Gang Said the
Citizens OF New Orleans Did Right.

PARKERsBURa, w. Va, March 81
Upon the railroad lines known as the
Camden system, in the center of the
state, 700 Italians are working and it is
only once week that news reaches
them. At Alton the report of the New
Orleans riot was received and while the
Italians We're discussing it among them
selves the foreman of the gang, n
Scotchman named McCauley, said the
citizens of New Orleans did just right
The Italians became enraged and lsillea
McCauley. They then mutilated his
body IL a terrible manner. Excitement
among the Italians when they read the
particulars of the killing of their coun-
trymen was intense. No arrests have
been made.

WATTERsoN's LETTER TO HILL evidently
is the letter which never came.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, Chicago paper
the Tribune. we think-published LOU
isiana correspondence in which it was
stated under the most startling Western
headlines, that five hundred negroes were
still held in slavery on plantation in one
of the most secluded parts of Vernon
Parish in that State. This absurd story
passed almost without notice, being, ap-
parcntly, too rank for the average scissors
editor of the country. This morning,
however, the esteemed Post prints the fol-
lowing communication, under the head
of ''The Louisiana Bondmen:'
Editor Post. Last night the colored citi-
Gems of the District celebrated the ami
sersary of ABRAHAM LINCoLN's birth by
assembling in large numbers TO listen TO
am eloquent address by Il. j. WARING, Esq,
af Baltimore, who recently made such a
mastery argument before the Supreme
Court In behalf of the Navassa rioters.
Similar celebrations were held all over the
hearts of the people. Would il not be n
fitting sequel to these celebrations il the
Government of the United States would
take immediate steps TO liberate those 500
bondmen that, according to last Sunday s
Ios, are still toiling in chains on secluded
plantation in Louisiana? Congress could
pay no more fitting tribute to the brave
and beloved emancipator than to strike
these last 600 shackles from the limbs Of a
people to give freedom to each and all OF
whom Lincoln devoted his nOblest powers
and lost his priceless life fancy smile
would brighten his countenance in heaven
as he hears those last sad sufferers fling
away their chains and shout "We've been
redeemed" CHARLES S. MoRRIs.
Washington, Feb 10.
THE CRITIC desires to add its indorsc
ment to the appeal of the Posts CORE
spondent. Let the Government lose nc
time in striking the shaokles from the
limbs of these captiyes and restoring them
all TO liberty-always providing the Gov
ernment can find them. Ii is our opinion
however, that the Louisiana negroes now
wearing shackles will not be found in Yer
non Parish but in Baton Rouge where thC
States prison Is located.

ADJUSTMENTS,

"a ParisInn Romance" at Aibaugh's.
The shadow dance of the 'ground-hog'
and the resultant bad weather had no eff
feet in keeping away from Albaugh's last
evening an entirely Characteristic Mans
field audience. The kind of audience,
that is to say, which buys all the boxes
and most Of the orchestra stalls some days
in advance, till, by curtain time, the best
part of the great auditorium is filled with
representative gathering of the culture,
fashion and intelligence of the National
Capital. Such pre-eminetly was the as
semblage at the Opera-House last even
ing, and II Is safe to say no detail of Mr..
Mansield's phenomenal portrayal of the
terrible Chegridl escaped its intelligent APP
probation. The incurable old roue Of
Octave Fouillct's powerful drama is the
role in which the now famous young
actor. while still amember Of n New York
stock company, first concentrated the public
attention on the exceptional talents which
have since found their outlet in so many
and varied directions.
In the face of all his subsequent tri-
umphs perhaps his Baron Chesridi still re-
mains the one which fingers with haunt
ing force the longest in the memory of the
spectator, tho one in which the person.
atty of the actor is most completely
merged and lost in the fearful individti-
ality of the character. The appalling
death, and even more appalling death in
life, of the nervv old profligate lose none
of their horrors by repetition, and Mr..
Mansfield perhaps never appeared in better
vein for the part than last evening. His
support, as usual, was highly creditable,
though in the "Romance,n more than
any other play of the Mansfield repertory,
Miss Emma Sheridan and Miss Johnstone
Bennett are conspicuous by their absence.
Miss Cameron, however, made very
spirited and charming Rosa Guorin, and
Miss Measor's Marcel gained the instant
sympathy of the audience. The Doctor
ChoSi,d OF Mr., Harlins was the same bit
of matter-of-fact realism as ever Mr..
Ferguson made the most of the small part
of 1trdndel, while Mr.. Ivan Peronet ap-
parently found no necessity for the
arts of makeup" either as to appear
ance or accent, in the role OF the
alluring JulidRa. Equal realism could not
| be alleged against the skirts of the ballet
sirens, which were distressingly proper,
though in other respects the famous sup
| per was given with very convincing veri-
| similitude. This afternoon Mr.. Mansfield
| is treating an audience, made up largely of
| the notable persons of Washington society,
| to another characteristic surprise of his
versatile genius, concert of his own mu-
steal compositions, in which he will have
| the assistance of number of eminent
soloists and fifty choir boys brought from
| New York for the occasion.
Tonight prince Karl' will be given in
| response to general request, and this ex-
| ceptionally successful return engagement
| will close with "Beau Brummep' at the
| Saturday matinee and "Dr. Jekyll and
| Mr.. Hyde" tomorrow night.

Rudyard Kipling has been very severely
scored by the press on account Of his criti-
cisms of us and our customs and manners.
But the ladies certainly have no reason to
find fault with this comparison made be-
tween them and those Of other countries.
Kipling says:
Sweet and comely are the maidens of
Devonshire;. delicate and ofgracious SEEM
ing those who live in the pleasant places
of London; fascinating for all their de-
mureness the damsels of France. clinging
closely to their mothers and with large
eyes wondering at the wicked world; ex-
cellent in her own place and to those who
understand her Is the Anglo-Indian spin
in her second season. but the girls of
America are above and beyond them all.
They are clever, they can talk-yea, it is
said that they think. Certainly they have
an appearance of so doing which is de-
Ightfully deceptive.
They are original, and regard you be-
tween the brows with unabashed eyes as
q sister might look at her brother. They
are instructed, too in the folly and van
ciated with 'the boys" from babyhood
and can discerningly minister to both
vices or pleasantly snub the possessor.
They possess, moreover, life among
themselves, independent of any mascu-
line associations. They have societies and
clubs and unlimited tea fights. where all
the guests are girls. They are self-pos-
sessed, without parting with any tende-
ness that is their sex-right; they under
stand; they can take care of themselves
they are superbly independent. When
you ask them what makes them so charm
ing, they say:
at is because we are better educated
than your girls, and-and we are more
sensible in regard to men. We have good
times all round, but we aren't taught to
regard every man as a possible husband.
Nor is he expected to marry the first girl
he calls on regularly"
Yes, they have good times, their free
dom is large and they do not abuse it.
They can go driving with young men and
receive visits from young men to an ex-
tent that would make an English mother
wink with horror, and neither driver nor
drivee has thought beyond the enjoy
ment of q good time. AS certain, also, of
their own poets have said:
Man is fire and woman IL tow,
And the devil he comes and begins to blow.
In America the tow is soaked in solu-
ton that makes it fire-proof in absolute
liberty and large knowledge; consequently
accidents do not exceed the regular per-
centage arranged by the devil for each
class and climate under the skies.

Mr.. Watterson's letter to Governor Hill,
which we reproduce in another column,
probably had something to do with per-
suading the latter to accept the United
States Senatorship but whether II did or
not, it contained a large amount Of exact
information about the Governors reputa-
ton throughout the country which it
unquestionably did him good to read.
Nothing that any one can say to or about
the Governor is able to effect any inn
provement in his political methods, as his
astonishing selection of convicted pro-
fessional blackmailer for the Office Of
State Superintendent of Insurance once
more demonstrates. He is still firmly
possessed of the idea, apparently, that he
can lift himself into the Presidency of the
United States by alliances with the liquor
and all other debased and debasing ele-
ments of politics. The Pierce episode is
certain to add to the strong feeling OF
relief throughout the State that we are
soon to be relieved of the shame and
danger of having such man in the Gov.
ernOr'S chair.

Tho Political Outlook.

The political outlook has grown some-
what clearer. Whether it has grown more
satisfactory to Democrats they may be
left to say if the question is not suffi-
irritated observations. They find that
Governor Hill has accepted an office
which no successful candidate for the
Presidency has ever held when nominated,
and which, in the general estimation of
his friends, he would not have accepted if
he had expected to contend with any
prospect of success for the Presidential
nomination. 1t is therefore the prevail
ing belief among Democrats, and as well
among those who most dislike Mr.. Cleve-
land as among those who like him, that
he is destined to be the candidate OF his
party again. But it is not all equally gem
eral impression that his past record will
help him in the Western States, where
the recent elections gave the Democratic
party such hope of extraordinary gains.

The south's Love.

From Me Richmond Dispatch.
The love Of the South for Richmond Is
something very sweet TO us. II is the
most precious heritage of the war, because
il is a memorial that in q trying time our
people did their duty valiantly; that with
scanty stores we did not neglect the rites of
hospitality, and that in the midst of our
own great sufferings and griefs We found
time to cheer the gallant men who came
from distant homes TO mingle their blood
with Virginians blood in the trenches
before Richmond.
Every courtesy bestowed upon the
Howitzors and Lee Camp by the people
Of Atlanta, Birmingham and New Or
leans; every friendly hand extended
and every kindly greetingf given them,
binds MS anew to the men and women OF
Dixie.
II is well that the links of love forged
in the past should be renewed in the pres
ent.

would defeat the party; or the plank
would have to be retained in order TO sat

The President and Mr.. Blaine Asked
South.

F,om the Auqustd, Ca, Chfonicle.
The invitation of the Augusta EXPOSE
ton has been forwarded these prominent
officials, and we believe will be accepted.
Augusta, it will be remembered, was the
first Southern. city to extend to Mr.. Har-
rison and Mr.. Blaine an invitation to visit
u.s.. Two weeks after the National election
in 1888 O representative of the Augusta Ma
tional Exposition went to Indianapolis and
presented to Mr.. Harrison the formal note
of the directors, requesting his presence
here. Mr.. Blaine at that time was SINH
larly honored. Neither gentleman could
attend, but both returned grateful ac-
Acknowledgements for the compliment. That
action was Endorsed then, it will be in
dorsed now.
Augusta has renewed her hospitable
tender and will claim that the promise
made in 1888, that Messrs. Harrison and
Blaine would come South as soon as they
found an opportunity, be kept in Noyem-
ber, 1891. 1t is very probable that both
gentlemen will be here, not as politicians,
but as the representatives of the American
people, as the highest officials in the coun-
try and as the types of men from the East
and West which we are especially anxious
to cultivate. There is no politics in the
movement. 1t is friendly overture from
the South TO the North. II is desire on
