 Tn the Constitution of the State ol
 Louisiana, under whose immediate juris diction the crimes were committed, sub stantially the same provision is found
 so the Governor of that State would bt as unable to give q pledge in advance for the result of q trial under State law as the President would be were it practica. ble to try the leaders of the mob under the law of the United States. "In Baron Fava's second point he de. mands recognition in the principle that indemnity is due to the relatives of the victims. He is assuredly under grave error when he declares that the United States GovernSnent declined to take this demand into sbnsideration, and l shall regret If he hos Communicated such con clusion to your Government. The United States, so far from refusing, has distinctly recognized the principle of i'm demnity to those Italian subjects who may have been wronged by violation of rights secured to them under treaty with the United States of February 26, 1871.
 ~1 have repeatedly given to Baron Fava assurance that under the direc- ton of the President all the facts and incidents connected with the unhappy tragedy should be mos: thoroughly in vestigated. l have also informed him that in matter of such gravity the Government of the United States would not permit itself to be unduly hurried nor will it make answer to any demand until every fact essential to correct judgment shall have been fully ascer- tained through the legal authorities. The impatience of the aggreived may be natural, but its indulgence does not always secure the most substantial jus tice."
 COMMENTS ON THE LETTERS.
 The fact that Secretary Blaine ad- dressed his last letter on the subject of the New Orleans tragedy to Marquis Imperiali charge d,affairs is of signif- canoe, demonstrating that the Govern me9t does not regard the rupture oi diplomatic relations caused by Baron Fava's recall as complete. Had that view been taken, the communication would have been addressed to the Italian Government direct, or through the medium of Minister Porter at Rome.
 How the matter is viewed by the Italian Government will be disclosed by the reply that is made to the Secre- tary's letter. If the charge d. affairs replies, as such, it must be construed as an acknowledgment that the Italian Government is still represented in the United States by it's legation, but if he announces he Is without authority to reply and suggests transmittal of the Secretary's communication to Rome it may be taken as an evidence that direct relations are at an end.
 A careful perusal of the Secretary's let ter seems to warrant the assumption that from the beginning of the correspond ence on the subject treated, the Italian Minister assumed an aggressive attitude, The Secretary says the baron has more than once intimated his purpose to de- part speedily, which clearly demon strates that the minister threatened to leave Washington early in the negotia- tions.
