The New Orleans Affair.

Attorney General Miller yesterday afiey-
noon received the report OF District Attor-
ney Grant, at Nav O;leans, on. the killing
o! the Italians in that city last month. He
Immediately sent the report to Secretary
Baine. The report liz understood to show
the legal status OF ell the slain Italians, how
many were naturalizsd American citiz,ns
and how many had declared their intention
of becoming citizens and voted In the sev-
eral municipal aud State elections.
The administration will probably take the
ground that If all these people have voted in tho
local elections as is said to DO the case, they are
in point of fact American ciIizons, even if they
have not been naturaiZed. This wi preclude the
necessity of paying their families an indemnity,
and will, SO far as this government is concerned,
settle the matter. Secretary Blaine may make
public the report within few days, but il i, be-
ieved he will hold it until tho Presidents return
A dis latch from Romo says: 1t is asserted that
Rudini, after several interviews with Baron Fs-
Va, has dec dsd upon the terms of his answer to
Mr.. Blsne, which will DC to this effect: Italy will
not rest satisfied with the reasons given by the
United States. The question is one of public
rights, and public rights demand reciprocal pro.
lection for the suhec otfriendly powers. Rudi-
d declares thst civil;Z,d nation would fail in
duties if it did not den AID indemnity for the
families OF the murdered Italians and tho arrest oil
the sssassins.

more important, that when 1t was supposed
that eighteen instead of nine new circuit
judges we're to be appointed, be said half OF
them would be democrats. II he be COZ
sistent, the same spirit which would have
iuduced him to c:vide the eighteen will in.
duce him to divide the nine. II it should,
why should not sonie of the distinguished

that more of them so fer have done 90 for
that OF the Virginia circuit, aud that the
only applicants for that position are rerubii-
cans. in respect Of the TWO most prominent
applicants for the place, Judges Paul snd
