leans as ''the Strengthening out of the
Italian question once for all" and he
adds: "1t leaves the old women OF both
sexes to moralize over the so-called ex-
cesses of a blood-stained populace," etc.
Moreton Frewen also commends the ac-
ton of the linen of Louisiana, who are
not spoiled by the spirit of submission to
the letter of the law, which has done so
much to emasculate the human race"
The Pal MdU Gazette in reply gen.
orally criticises Moreton Frewen's letter,
but holds that the English people ought
not to hold up their hands in righteous
horror and adding: One branch of the
Anglo-Saxon race does not differ from
another in that matter. The citizens of
New Orleans, finding that the jury did
not do its duty, said: "We must by one
means or by another put crime down."
The st. James Gazette, referring to the
same subject, says: The incident shows
that native Americans have not lost the
quality of stern resolution which some
times is dissolved by life of comfort and
luxury in modern society. The men who
organized this defiance of formal Justice
are not ashamed of what they have done.
They have defeated society of foreign
ruffians who were trying to terrorize the
whole city. 1t is doubtful if John Bull
has enough grit left in him to protest in
as emphatic manner as the citizens of
New Orleans have protested.
AWAITING GOVERNOR NICHOLS AN
SwER.
WASHINGTON, March 16. Secretary
Blaine this afternoon received q telegram
from Governor Nichols of Louisiana,
saying that all was quiet at New Orleans,
and t''Ht he will reply to the Secretary's
telegram by letter.
No further action will be taken by the
Federal authorities at Washington until
after the receipt of Governor Nichols
reply to Secretary Blaine's telegram.
Secretary Blaine has received number
of kilograms from Italian organizations
in different parts of the country, protest
ing against what they term "an outrage"
and demanding that all Italian citizens be
properly protected. The matter is almost
the sole topic of conversation in diplo-
matte circles, and, so far as can be ascer-
tanned, the general opinion is that the
State of Louisiana. and not the United
States, must be held responsible.
The demand for indemnity would, of
course, come from the Italian Govern
ment, through its Minister Resident, and
be transmitted by the Secretary of State
to the Governor of Louisiana, and if re-
pudiated by that State would be sub
mitted to Congress for such action as
might be deemed advisable.
THE FEELING IN SICILY.
New YORK, March 16.-L Eco d'Italia
published a telegram from Palermo, Sic
lily, to-day which stated that indignation
growing over the No Orleans tragedy is
the only subject tai. of, and the Amer
lean residents have emigrated over to
Italy and the south of France.
kilograms expressive of the indigna-
ton of Italian colonists throughout
America continue to be received by NJ
Barsotti, at the office of III Progresso. A
number were received to-day from all
parts of the country.

According to the law published
by the register of deeds and county
treasurer, last week, their salaries
jointly can not exceed $1,000 per
year. Now suppose Adam had
been elected treasurer and Eve reg
lister Of deeds Of Union county and
had been reelected every election
since their time, they would still
have to go through thirty thousand
biennial campaigns before they
could retire from public life and be
al rich as Vanderbilt, counting him
worth two hundred million dollars.
A county Office is not worth hav-
ing any more, is il? We have rea-
son to believe that Eve was a good
old republican mother, however,and,
from analogous reasoning, if current
reports are true, she would long ere
this have found the combination to
Adams safe just as readily as she
found the one to his stomach, thus
shortening their political career ma
terially.
