THE NEW ORLEANS LYNCHlNG.

Suggestions Which are Worthy the At
tention of Congress.
The lynching at New Orleans in March last
of eleven men of Italian nativity by a mob of
citizens was a most deplorable and discredit-
able incident. 1t did not, however, have its
origin in any general animosity to the Italian
ment of Italy with which our relations were of
the most friendly character The fury of the
mob was directed against these men as the sup
posed participants or accessories in the murder
OF city officer. do not allude to this as nit
igating in any degree this offense against law
and humanity, but only as affecting the inter
national questions which grew out of it. 1t
was openly represented by the italian minister
that several Of those whose lives who had
and demand was made for the punishment of
the participants and for an indemnity to the
families of those who were killed. 1t is to be
regretted that the manner in which these
claims were presented were not such as to pro-
mote calm discussion of the questions 10
volved; but this may well be attributed to the
excitement and Indignation which the others
naturally evoked. The views of this govern
ment as to its obligations to foreigners domi-
ciled here were fully stated in the corresponds
cation of the affair with view to determine
whether there were present any circumstances
that could, under such rules of duty as we had
indicated, create in obligation to the United
States.
Friendly C,nciu>ion ObtainabIe.
The temporary absence of the sub-minister
plenipotentiary of Italy at this capital has. 9.
tarded the further correspondence, but it is
not doubted that a friendly conclusion is at.
tainable. Some suggestions growing out OF
ton of congress 1t would, ] believe, be en-
tirely competent for congress to make offenses
against the treaty. rights of foreigners
domiciled in the United States cognzable in
the federal courts. This has not however, been
done, and federal officers and courts have
power in such cases to intervene either for the
protection of a foreign citizen or for the pun
ishment of his slayer. 1t seems to me to fol.
low in this state of the law that the officers of
in such cases must, in the consideration of in
ternational questions, growing out of such in.
cidents be regarded in such sense as federal
agents as to make this government answerable
for their acts in cases where it would be an
swerable il the United States had used it's con.
stitutional power to define and punish crimes
against treaty rights.

THE TROUBLE WITH CHILL.
Seizure of the Itata and the Attack on the

escape and recapture, and final release. and

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
General Interest Augmented by Conflict
ing Predictions.


The general interest in the operations of the
treasury department has been much augment
ed during the last year 10y reason of the con-
ficting predictions, which accompanied and
followed the tariff and other legislation of the
last congress affecting the revenues, as to the
results OF this legislation upon the treasury
and upon the country. On the one hand it was
contended that imports would so fail OIL as 10
leave the treasury bankrupt and that prices OF
articles entering into the living OF the people
their comfort and happiness, while on the
other, IL was argued that the loss to the reve-
nue., largely the result of of placing sugar on
the free list would be direct gain to the peo-
pie; that the prices of the necessaries of life,
including those most highly protected, would
not be enhanced; that labor would have larg-
er market and the products of the farm adj
vanced prices; while the treasury surplus and
receipts would be adequate to meet the appro-
priations, including the large exceptional ex-
penditures for the refunding to the states OF
the direct tax and the redemption of the ~
per cent. bonds

Great Results Already Attained by Its Es

II the establishment of the department of
agriculture was regarded by any one as q mere
concession to the enlightened demand of a
worthy class of people, that impression has been
most effectually removed by the great results
already attained. Its home influence has been
very great in disseminating agricultural and
directing further diversifcation of crops; in
detecting and Graduating diseases of domestic
animals, and more than all, in the close and in
