Umnada, June 23, 1888.
Mississippi is just about tho hardest ca.se on record.
*e bave not been in the State n week yet, and have al
ready found more instances of g< uuine outrage, more bit
terness and more lawlessness than In Virginia North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama
?Kumbined. If Mississippi were the South, or tho Southern
States were all Mississippls, there would be some degree
?f truth In the theory of con^resaioual majority with
regard to the South and in the statements of the radical
prees. But Mississippi is happily an exception, and a
*wry glaring one, to the other States Generals t-'tced
in?n and Kullerion hare visited. I am convinced, I'rom
aumerous interviews at which I have been present, that
?veaberc tho well disposed, pcacenble and loyal citizens
ue in a majority, but they have permitted the reck let*,
tinncrupulous and vicious to override them, and to com
mit acts for which thoy and the community at large
is n?t bear tho blame.

At Columbus, the day before yesterday, General Steed
man saw a freedman, who had just come in from a neigh
boring county scared nearly to death, and who bore on his
person indisputable evidence of a most atrocious crime.
Ibis man, a carpenter by trade, and apparently a re
ap* table, well conducted and intelligent negro, had
%eeu taken out of a house at night by three men. with
Mackened faces, who had cut ofT his oars and partially
?vtrated him, on a mere suspicion of his holding illicit
Intercourse with a white woman. The negro himself
?tr?nnously denied the imputed oflence : but even if the
charge were true, there was no pretence lor saying that
?be Intercourse was otherwise than voluntary on the part
vt the woman.

Jit Meridian, a short time ago. the headquarter!1 of the
Treedmen's Bureau were broken into at night, and the
?Acer* were shot at, fortunately without effect. In this
tewn (Grenada)? without exception the worst place we
(lave yet visited? a more serious result hits attended *
aiinllar outrage. On the evening of the 30th of April
last, Lieutenant J. B Blanding, the Assistant Com mis
?toner of the Bureau stationed here (a gentleraauly, In
?Actislve man, against whera no one seems to have a
-word of complaint), was calicd out of bis house by a man,
who invited him to a walk. Turning the corner or the
street, two other men came up, put pistols to the lieu
?eaaat'a bead and ?hot him do.vn. Ue lingered till the
?eat morning, and then died. Lieutenant Blanding sns
?ected the person who Invited htm out of complicity in
ike crime, and was able to give a pretty close description
?f the other two men, but no arrests liaveevor iweu
mm. In fact it is said to be impossible to obtain evi
deuce against the amaaoin*.

LITE EAR Y NOTICES.
Practical and Scientific Far it Co. "/pub. By
Charles It. Baker, of the Dorcheate^ Nurseries.
Lee A She p pur d : Boktoii.
The cultivation of fruit, but mor^ especially of the
grape, la just dow occupying so, inur.li attention that
there is an eager demand for XKirks like the preeent.
Unfortunately thuM who ti&re hitherto pretended to
satiety It hare been, for the most part, Uly qualified for
the taxk. The treatises got up on the subject, with the
exception of a few leading one*, liave been characterized
by a deplorable ignorun<'e not only of chemistry, but
sometime*! even of principle* known to the most ordi
nary gardeners. This may seem strange, but it is not
tho lew true, and the explanation of the fact is simple
enough. We have very few really scientific horticultur
es among tin, and these are so profitably occupied that
they have liat little time for writing. The publishers,
drilling the field a remunerative one, endeavor to supply
tho demand for such works by summoning to their aid
?ume of the numerous hangers-on, who are always
ready to get up books for them at short
notice whether they have any competent acquaintance
with tlio subject or not. We could point to ' scores of
volumes produced in this way which are utterly value
less. Mr Baker's book is of a very diflernt stamp. It
would be strange, Indeed, if with his training and expe
rience we had to class It in the category described. But
few men who write on subjects to the study of which
they have devotod their lives make failures in their lit
erary enterprises. There is always something instructive
to be gleaned from them, and when we lay down their
books we feel that the time sj>ent in their
perusal has not been lost. Wo derive a still
higher degree of satisfaction from Mr. Baker's
treatise. It exhibits not merely a practical acquaintance
with the modes of culture practised in different countries,
but with the important chemical discoveries that have
been made in connection with them of lato years. In
one particular the book is especially valuable. Thero is
nothing, as horticulturists are aware, more difficult of
acquirement than a thorough knowledge of the influence
of particular soils and climatic differences upon fruit
trees. Mr. Baker has undertaken to supply this by a
series of carefully prepared tables showing the adapta
bility, of the different kinds of fruit to the various States
of the Union. On tho value of such a guide to new set
tlers, or even to old residents who have been laboring in
the wrong direction, it is not necessary for us to enlarge.
It is suflb ient to say that more time and money are lost
by vague experimenting in this way than in almost any
department of industry that we know of. The
section devoted to the transplanting of trees will likewise
be found to contain a good deal of valuable information.
By following the instructions laid down much vexation
and useless expenditure of valuable time will be spared.
Mr. Baker's book is one that should be in the hands
[ of every horticulturist and farmer throughout tho
country. It is written in such a clear, practical and
intelligible style, and Is so elaborately illustrated, that
it will form a reliable guide In all cases of doubt or
difficulty.
The (Jamb Birds of the Coasts and Lakes of
tttk Northkkn States of America. By Robert
B. Roosevelt. Carle ton, publisher.
We took up with anticipations of pleasure this new
work by the author of the beet treatises that have ap
peared In connection with the piscatory sports of our
country. Mr. Roosevelt's style is so lively, and he is
so enjoyable as a companion, that if he were less In
structive bo would be scarcely less agreeable to us.
But there is in his present volume much that Is
novel and solid. Many of the peculiarities of the
feathered tribes of our forest* and coasts which escaped
the notice of naturalists like Audubon, and which only
an ardent sportsman would have the patience to study
out, are noted with a minuteness which is quite re
markable. Tho great charm of the book lies, however,
. in tbe freshness and vivacity of ita style. Like most
"porumen, Mr. Roosevelt has a hearty, genial manner of
exprcaeing himself which at once enlists the attention
and carries one along with It in spite of oneself. With
a keen sem-ft of the ludicrous ho combines an ardent
love for the picturesque, and we every now and then
pass from some droll story to some charming local
sketch which we wish we had the faculty of transferring
to canvas. A pbasantor book for the country could
scarcely be desired. It will render all the keener the
snnse of enjoy uiont derived from the chango from city
life.

Th r. National QriKTKRi.Y Review. New York.
The Jnne number of this ably edited periodical opens
with a carefully written paper ou "Socrates and Ills
Philosophy." In the conclusion at which the writer ar
rives?that no man has made a nearer approach to Christ
In the food he lias rendered mankind than the 1'Agsn
philosopher- -most people will concur who are not In
fluenced by bigotry. In addition to article* on "The Ha
turnian System," on "llclne and his Work,'' "Bnudd
ism and Ita Influences,'1 "The South American Re
public* and the Monroe Doctrine," "The Greek Tragic.
Prima" and "Partisan Reconstruction," we have an In
teresting paper entitled "Why the Opera Kails In New
York." The writer sets out with the statement that the
a<lmirer!< of Ihc opera In our metropolis are much too
?asi!.v pleased. Th* director of such an Institution,
he contends, should not only be a man
of education and taste, who knows how to treat
the public with decent reppect, but be should also pos
musical talent him >elf. He is very sorern on the ten
den y of opera directors to engage In controversies with
the press, and thinks that it arguea an utter unfitness on
the part of such per.-nn* to have charge of an Institution
like the Academy of Music. Abroad, he (ays, where
iren of acknowledged genius are to he found at the head
of the "pern, such thing* never occur. When !.a Harpe
awaited (iluck's operas with his trenchant criticisms. In
prose and verse, the great composer pot himself to no
expense to Inform the public that he did not advertise in
the Jtmrnal tlr la I.il'raturr, of which th* critic was edi
tor and proprietor. Neliher did Rameau? one of the
most meres* ful of impreaorii, and a man who knew how
to ? (impose as well as direct? denounce hi? critics In the
Paris j' 'lima!*, eren when attacked in such aevcre lines
as i he following:?

Mai* si le beau, par aventure,
V'elait que la simple nature.
t TVrtit part doit Aire le tableau,
C est tin pauvre homme que Rameau.
To give an idea of the importance which is attached
a?'i"ad to (he selection ol directors for the Opera, the
writer relate* that when the illustrious Puke of Sax*.
Weimar who was the friend and patron of (Wiethe,
Schiller. Rerdei ?nd W island, was applied to for the man
agement of hs o|>em bouse, while the regular conductor
was unwell, he said:?" My dear sir. I would appoint you
mayor of mt capital much more readily, while knowing
as little about yon a* I do now; for an incompetent mavor
oould do far less harm than an Incompetent director of
the opera." The more personal passages of the article
we omit, as our sole obJ*ct In making these quotations la
to promote the Interests of an Institution which, proper
ly directed. Is calculated to e?ori*e a reOuing and ele
vating influence upon our community.

But the chances in favor of succom ?nd a happy issuo
from all the perils aud embarrassments surrounding
the kingdom are so much controlled by the eloments in
her own hands, if manfully and bravely employed, that
?he cannot fall u> attempt to grasp them and secure tho
realization of her wishes. The great conVcst is far from
being ? secure one for Italy, but the odds are >*ll
worth contending against. Fof one, I do not
doubt the result The struggle against Austria and the
reactionary element at home will be a long, arduous aud
trying one , but Italy will emerge from It victorious, and
will then take her true position among the first nations
of the earth. The people arc fully awake to the charac
tcr of the war before them; but they enter upon it
pledged to see the end of it and win the great prize at
every cost and at every sacrifice.
For the past month there has been no cessation in the
-rigorous preparations for war. During the period of
negotiations for the Paris Congress not a moment was
lost. The work went on steadily and uninterruptedly,
though with less din and noise than before. Since the
fact is apparent that the Congress cannot meet and that
war must inevitably come, the quiet application of re
presslve measures upon the enthusiasm and public dis
plays of tbe war feeling of the people has been r -
moved, and the old spirit appears again and
makes the country lively once more. Volunteering was
stopped for a while, public demonstrations repressed and
tbe headlong rush of the poople checked, so that the
spirit of the vivacious Italians win really very low. The
pressure has been removed, and we soe dally now evi
dences of tho existence of the old fire burning brighter
and brighter and spreading with a rapidity which will
wrap the peninsula In a blaze of patriotism and real In
another forty-oight hours.
The government Is now satisfied that war is at hand,
?ad they call upon the people for the necessary aid and
support. They grant them with alacrity and enth'isiai* c
good will. The country is united now, king and peasant,
in a common cause. The Bourbonists and reactionists
have been weeded out and placod in line where they may
Iw known and cared for, and the great mass or the poople
join In tho grand column which gives battle for a new
order of thing*. Tho government, as I have ??f?re re
marked. Is iu earnest In its determination to fight and
to fight successfully. Since the collapse of the
Mdllc scb' nio for a Buro|>can Congress, some m casun-s
of the greatest Importance have been Introduced by
the Ministry. 'Ihe Chamber of Deputies Is uow
engaged in a discussion of a project before it or great
moment, and others are to bo at once presented of eq .al
importance. The one now engaging its attention has for
it* object the providing of wavs and means? the sin ws
of w;ir. Tbe project also, like a double-edged sword,
oils both ways. It replenishes the coffers of the HUrte
and thereby gives force to its arms while it strikes
a blow against its most powerful enemies at home It
continues nil the Church property in the kingdom and
devotes the proceeds to natioual uses. It is very sweep
inc in its provisions. It completes tho appropriation
of ecclesiastical property in one net and leaves no neces
sity for further legislation. The project in a modifl d
lorni was about to he Introduced last winter as a financial
scheme but for some reason or other it never came
fairly before the Parliament. The pressure of events
has brought it forth again in a more stringent
and sweeping form, and It Is euro to become
a law The debate on the subject has been going on
onlv for a few days, but enough has boon heart! to show
that It has a tremendous and overwhelming major ityin
its favor and is cerlain to become a law. The Church
partv of course, are opposed to it, or at least a portion.
Some' of tho old opponent* have given In their support,
under tho new and inexorable demands of the day, and
will vote lor it. The old Neo Catolico |>arty hang out
and resist its pa-wage by every possible means; but they
have little influence. When one or them speaks against
tho project ho is greeted by derisive laiighteran-l^oiiicaJ
questions, which put him down quickly. ?e Ch amber
will not listen to any argument in favor of the temiwral
nower of the Church or its right to longer hold property
which hosbeen mils possession for centuries. Those
old doctrinos are oxplodod and are hooted at in I arlla
m B?!t in sp te of the clearly expressed determination to
finish up all the temporal power of the lol??l oo' ?,!'>??
adhcrcut* battle on, only to be badgered, hooted down,
and laughed at by the great majority.
Italy wauls money and she must have it, and she pro
poses to get a jiortion by suppling religious corporations
mid appropriating their property. This will b?
caged as a security tor a largo foreign loan which i? to
lie negotiated in a very short time. At a time not far
distant, had not the war cloud arisen, the religious cor
Duration* would certainly have been suppressed, and
their property allowed to naturally revert to tho State

the settlement of the question, and It will now bo dec-ded
i ,r over and by a minority n Parliament wbtoh to re
ffifitlfipH Thf property of tlw* Church in the klDgd<?m iJ
valued at something over o?e hundred millions ol dollars.
Aproixw of this subject I may mention that the proposal
which was debated some time ago to abolish the law
which exempt* the clergy from military service is about
to be brought up again, uid with every chance of pacing.
Yf tho eccieitiaslical ^perty Is taken by the ffae the
priests have no way o' obtaining a livelihood excopt by
regular labor, and tliev will Uien be allowed to gain It
bv fighting lor Italy. A. there are several hundred
thousand priests in the kingdom tbe government hopes
toobta n quite a ;o?i>eetable acquisition to its army.
They fight excellently, it Is said, in southern Italy,

arrested on Friday afternoon by Ca /tai? Joardan, of tie
Sixth precinct, came up before Jr *uce Hogan yecterday
morning, at which time two r,MlloneD appeared and
lodged complaints against the prisoner. Mr. Wm. T. W.
Whitney, paying teller of the /iattonai Bank of the Repub

came to his bank witb a t for $7,ti32 75, purporting
to have be*n drawiu by Messrs. Scott, Zerega A Co.,
bankers, of No. tH 'William street. Mr. Whitney,
believing the cneck to be gouume, cached it, mid
subsequently ler.rued that It was a forgery. Mr
Zerega also made oath that the name of ins
firm to the chock wu ? not written by either member of
the Arm, and therefore wu a forgery. Cornelius V.
Bantu, paying teller of tbo Merchants' National Hank,
also n ade a complaint, charging that on the 3d oi Feb
ruary last a man, to him unknown, presented to him for
payment a chock on that bank for $4,8?1 13, pur(iortiug
to have been made by T. Zizinla. (Supposing the check
to bo genuine Mr. liunta passed over the cash to thn
messenger, and learned when too late tiiat Mr. Zlzinia
had neither signed the check nor authorized any one to
do so for him. Mr. Uanta was likewise informed by
George Scblager that in the month of December or Janu
ary last the prisoner came to his place of bii-i
neM, No. 83 William street, and requested him to
print a number of chocks according to a c. py
which ho then bad wiih him; and further that
Mr. Sch lager identified the forged check on tho
Merchants' National Hank as one or those he had printed
for IJutcrholz. Mr. Milo L. Stockton, formerly a clerk
for Mr. Zizinla, testified that tho name of that gentleman
as slgnod to the check was a forgery. Mr. Schlatter, on
being called to me stand, identill d tlte Merchants' liank
check as one of the number which the accused had or
dered him to print either in December or January last.
At the time of giving the order tho primmer represented
to Mr. Schlager that, be wax a clerk in the employ of
Mr. Zizinia. Judge Stuart, who api?.-ared as counsel for
the accused, said that his client bud nothing whatever

that he could show Unterbolz to hove been absent from

and taken in oharge. They gave tbclr names as John
O'Nell, Edward Do Oorsy and 1'atrlclt Campbell. Under
the pier a house fifteen feet in length by eight feet in
height had been constructed of boards, plunks and pieces
of timber which doubtless the hoys had stolen for tho
purpose. The loundation timbers had boon raised so as
to escape the high tides. The Boor had been carefully
covered with matting and the house wax furnished with
| a cooking stove, two lengths of pipe from whi h oxt tid

A case or theatrical (caudal and cnm. con lias just
been disclosed in Brooklyn, not through the law court*,
b'Jt from the report of a referee. The principal person ag?
is an actor named William Meeker, a p* raon known to
noma extent on the si age of the Park theatre.
It appear* that he tut* been playing a part
with an interesting young lady, an actress, which Ifl
calculated to bring disgrace upon himself, wile an4
family. According to the testimony before Wm J?e
Witt, Ksq., the referee appointed hy the Supremo Court,
It appears that Mr. Mocker ret rn<xl to hi* homo in
Brooklyn a short time slnoe from a profess! .ual tour.
Hi? daughter, having occasion to go to hid trunk, foitnit
tiovcral hotel bills made out iu the mime of ''Mr. Meeker
an<l lady.'' Tho young lady, knowing full well that her
mother " did not accompany her father on lh*
t rip, had her suspicious aroused, and, gathering
up tho bills, of which there were several, took
'.hem to her mother. When Mr. Meeker returned homa
I is w fe charged him with domestic infidelity and pro
duced one of the hotel bills. The centleman seized th?
document, and without ceremony put it in his mouth
and attempted to swallow It His wife told him that li<
could swallow it aud welcome, as she had plenty m?M
of tho .vune sort left. Mrs. Meeker thereupon im<ii?
diat'iy brought an action for divorce, charging ber hum
band with committing adultery on the ViOtb of Ortobei
last, at a bouse known as the l)evos Hons*
in Bleecker street, New York; also with havtn)
lived with and paired Miss EHa Spraguo as bin w:fe(
that ho had her at the house or Mrs. Jane Campbell, Nil
121 Bleocker street, where be lived with her as his wlfl
from January till March, 1K68.
In the tertimimy before tho referee Mrs. Margaret tei
tilled that Mr. and Mrs. Meeker were married at h'1
house, after which they took up tholr residence ii
Brooklyn; was present when the hotel bills In queg
tlon were shown bv Mrs. Meeker to her husband, and lit
replied "What of it? At the time the bills were date^
Mrs. Meeker was residing in Brooklyn and Mr. Meckel
was absent on a professional tour.

lying at the corner of Pulton avenue and Raymond street,
expoeed to the action of the hot nun and in a partial
?<uto of putrefaction. Tho poMc mitn on that boa' (No.

and requested to cause tue removal of thia
nuisance. At one time the affair collected
a large assemblage of women and clnldrcn, and created
no Inronsidcrablt) alarm and Indignatioa The police
man, who appeared to be a mtiu of Home intelligence,
informed the citizens that he had uo power to cause tho
removal of the horse, or, Indeed, any nuisance; that tho
city authorities had made a c? tract with persons to do
the work, and for all he could do, the horse might re
main iu tho street f<>r three wrokx. The question then
arises, buve the police power to abate ?ch nmsancos afl
