NEW ORLEANS BULLETIN RW OBLKAN8, MARCH 28, 1876. MERITED PUNISHMENT. Ah OJjseure Artist Receives a Se vere Castigation. For some d«ys past, a man genteelly dressed has parsed and repassed a certain ■ohool np town attended by young ladies, and in. on each occasion cast into the school yard obscene and vulgar pictures, such as the most depraved mind alone could conceive execute. He did not confine himself to the school •lone, but visited several residences in the First District, made indecent exposure of his person to ladies, and threw his vile drawings in the yards where young ladies should pick thflm op. For a couple of days the existence of the was ignored, but at last his conduct be came unbearable, and complaint was made. The matter wss taken in hand by the male relatives of some of the young ladies, and they watched for the man, followed him, and ascertained that he was T. W. Hopf, a drafts man by occupation, whose office is at No. 2 Carondelet street It was then ascertained where he roomed, and on Monday morning the gentlemen, who been following him up, proceeded to his room, seized and administered to him a se vere castigation with a good sized heavy club. When first attacked he offered violent re sistance, but was soon overpowered, and find ing that resistance did no good, he received Mia whipping quietly and almost without a ■tonggi« He confessed to have thrown the pictures into the yards ; said he had drawn them himself, and that he did not know why he did it except that he was a ford. His action and talk led the gentleman to believe that he was a lunatic, and they recom mend that he be taken charge of by the proper authorities. AT THE TARGETS. Creaceat City Rifle Club.

The danger will increase on the Mississippi River between Cairo and Vicksburg. The river will reach the danger line at Vicksburg to-night and Memphis on Tuesday. Cautionary sig nals continue on the Atlantic Coast from Long Branch to Eistport. The floods have caused considerable damage in the East. Dispatches from Norwich, Cu, contain information ot snch injury to the Bal tic mill of that place that three months or more will be consumed in making the repairs. The lower village was under water and four lives were lost. From Provi deuce, R. I, we have the news that the flood on the Blackstone River seri ously damaged Woonsocket mills. The Sweepihg away cf the dams on Clear River at Bsrrellesville caused damage to the amount of $2,000,000. R. B. lagers, the absconding receiving tel ler of the Fulton Bank, Brooklyn, defrauded the bank out of $50,000. The business of the bank is uninterrupted. FOREIGN NEWS, Fbakce.— From Paris the news is that the number of Ministers in the Bureaux who favor amnesty is smaller than was anticipated. A dispatch from Versailles dated 26tb, says that in the Chamber of Deputies to-day ten members were elected as a Committee on the Amnesty Question; of these, two favor com plete amnes'y, the remainder, belonging to the LefL and Left Center, favor individual pardons. The Faria dispatch says fcr.her: Several Deputies intend to intruduce a motion that the Chamber, confiding in the firmness and sentiments of clemency of the government, passes to the order of the day. The motion will in all probability be adopted. The Left have resolved to strongly contest, and will probably invalidate several elections, especially those of Relief, Clericalist Deputy from Beifont; Count Demaine, Legitimist, who claimed a majority over Gambetta in Avignon; De La Rocht jaquelain, Legitimist. According to reliable intelligence, it is certain ■hat almost the entire Left have resolved to support the Ministry for some length of time. The recent attacks of the Republican jour nals were really not serious, being merely due to political tactics. Italy. —1 The Dire'.to, the organ of the Left, says ihe programme of the Miuistry is calcu lated to reassure Europe. The views of the Cabinet on many points resemble those of the French Ministry. Germany will find the Italian home policy aiding in vigorously pur suing the course which she has adopted. The Italian Cabinet will assume an energetic atti tude on the ecclesiastical question. It will not change the foreign policy of Italy, but will pursue a more liberal home policy. Spain. —The Spanish Government will send reinforcement of troops to the Philippine Islands in April and May. Servi a. — Ser via has given pacific assurances to the powers. 55 50 INSURANCE.
