ft r ft. r THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. C. WINK, CoiTOft 4 PROPKItTOn. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1801. A EW ORLEANS MOIl A to litres the Irontli of Chief of rollr IlennesspT 1 1 Kalians Killed by llic Enraged Citizens. On Saturday last in the cily of New Orleans, a mob avenged the killing of Chief of Police Hen nessey, of thnt city, by killing 11 of the 19 Italian "Mafia" charged with the crime of his death. The facta about the affair, briefly stated, are as follows: There has existed for some time in the city of New Orleans an organized band of brigands who are known as the Order of the Mafia. The order is a secret one. Their object is robbery and the commission of whatever other crimes may be incidental and neces sary thereto. They became such a menace to peace and safety uf the city that the people there demanded their extermination. Chief of Police Hen nessey undertook the task not an easy or safe one by any means. The Mafia recognizing a dangerous enemy in Chief Hennessey sought a plan to get rid of him. A meeting of the order was held at which it was decided he must die, and the persons were se lected to carry out the mandate of the order. The awful crime wai consummated and Chief Hennessey was shot one night just as he was entering his own door. Nineteen of the Mafia were ar rested charged with his murder. A -nontb ago nine of the nineteen ac cused Mafia were placed on trial. On Friday last the trial of the nine men ended. The jury in its verdict ac quitted six of the men and disagreed as to the other three. The verdict was a surprise to the citizens of the city, and aroused great indignation. While tho trial was in progress it was dis covered that the jury was being tarn ' pered with. In fact there is no doubt but that money was used to procure their acquittal. Soon after the mur der of Chief Hennessey a law and or der committee was appointed by the Mayor of the city to take charge of the case and investigate tho murder. ,-. The committee was strongly backed by the city and citizens. On Friday after the jury had rendered its verdict this committee met and issued a call for a public meeting in Clay park on Saturday. The meeting was held at 1 P. M. The best element of the city was present. It was addressed by prominent men. Not much time was spent at the park. The mob proceed s ed to the jail, which they forced open, the officials making little resistance. Ten of the Mafia were shot down like -, cattle in a pen, and one was dragged out and hanged in the street to satisfy the mob standing outside as only 50 men bad been allowed to enter the jail. The mob was a quiet but determined one. A The affair is one that may lead to international difficulties as it is claim ed that three of the murdered Italians were citizens of Italy. The Italian government has already demanded satisfaction, and Secretary Blaine has been in communication with the au. thorities at New Orleans concerning the affair. The city of New Orleans certainly bad great cause for provoca- w-fron, yet the whole business deserves the severest deprecation. Washington has had two social, or rather, race sensations quite recently. About a year ago a club was formed in the city having for its object social and intellectual improvement. Its membership was made up wholly of society women from both North and South, and it was expected and intend ed that it would be a means of banish ing sectional prejudice. Not long ago a young lady school teacher was ad mitted to one of its classes. She looked white enough, but It was dis covered she had negro blood in her veins. She was dismissed. The North em ladies took up her cause. The Southern ladies threaten to withdraw from the club. Here is the other : In the militia of the District of Columbia are the 7th and 8th Battalious, com posed exclvsively of colored troops, which are noted for their discipline ad their flue appearance. When Cleveland was President he appointed Gen. Ordway, an aristocratio Virginia ex-slaveholder, Commander of the District National Guard. Ordway has never taken kindly to the colored troops, and a fow days ago w hile Pres ident llanisoQ was absent from Wash ington, Ordway, making ubo of a spe cious pretense, iioued aa order dis baudiug the colored troops. When Harrison returned to the city a col ored delegation called on hiui and laid their grievance before him. The President was astonished aud indig nant when he learned of the matter, be having known nothing of it pre viously. General Ordway was sum moned aud in a brief and emphatic manner the PresiJeot explained that the day bad gone by wheu government i t! vfJiciaU would bo permitted to allow their official acts to be influenced by race or color prejudice. The order will be revoked. The colored people of the city held a jubilee when the President's action was made public. A Lancaster man, Seyfert by name, a member of the present Legis lature, has called down on his head the wrath and sarcasm rf all the bald headed men in tho country by intro ducing a bill to prohibit actresses from wearing tights. The Oil City ISlizzard iutimates that while not fully satis factory ns garments, tights are still better than uothiug at all. Mr. Soy fort has probably been studying the orthography of iho word legislate quite closely. Some Lawrence County farmers are advocating a new dodge. They say they are going to form a corporation and get a charter from the State if our legislators do not equalize the tax laws, as they say that Iaoi is taxed a great deal more than corporate prop erty. The farmers cay that they can save money by going into a corpora tion and combining their capital. They will have a skilled farmer as President, so that they can buy aud sell to the best advantage. Then they can get rid of the Township and Coun ty taxes, They say they have good legal grounds upon which to carry out their intentions and get clear of the tax the same as railroads that take thousands of acres and pay no County or Township taxes. Oil City Blizzard' People of the East are generally under the impression that the Kansas Legislature, which recently elected rener to tne united btates senate in place of Ingalls, was composed princi pally of farmers, in-as much us Fcffer was the Farmers' Alliance candidate. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Riddle in his newspaper, the Minneapolis (Kan sas) Messenger, says : "Notwithstanding the late upheaval in the pretended interest of the farmer, there are fewer real farmers iu the lower house of the legislature than in many of the previous legislatures. Fiftecu of the so-called alliance farmer members are active, retired, or quasi preachers, and about twenty school teachers. Besides, a number of the so-called 'farmers' are of the variety of agriculturist who lives in town and does his farming by the sweat of his hired man s brow; and somo are shy steriog lawyers, who have not knowl eage enougn or me law to make a living at it. The real farmers tret lit tie chance to say or do anything in the legislature, liieir action is dictated by their caucus, and their caucus is manipulated by the pettifoggers and demagogues who Beera to be now in the saddle in this State. The talkinc (.and Lord knows there is plenty of talk) is done liy the eamo alliance managers. Tho real farmer in the legislature, no matter how much he may think of the holiness of 'the cause,' is disgusted with his experience in the legislature, is sick and tired o his 'honors,' and wants to gi home."

No literary announcement of tho year Is of grcarter iutoresttotliegenei.il ptibl o than that of a comprehensive Life of Gen eral Sherman, which is about to bo pub lished and sold through agents by the nou-d houso of Hubbard Ilrolhers, of Philadelphia. Admirable hiocraphics of Grant and Sheridan, complete- to tue time of their death, are already familiar to the public, but a life of the third great com mander, to finish the series, has been lacking. 'Iho various biographies of Sherman hitherto published havo neces sarily been incomplete; and oven his own memoirs, written in 1K75, said almost nothing of his intensely interesting life, and not a word of course, of tho more than twenty years of social activity aud frater nity with old comrades since the war. The work which is now to be issued will splendidly supply the widely felt demand for a history of the great strategic com mander. It is being written by Genoral O. O. Howard, a man ot line literary attainments, who know Sherman bettor than any other of his commanders now living, and ranked next but one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson whose ability as a historian Is familiar tn the reading public of America through his former unusually popular works, which had millions of readers, and the sales of their vast editions enriched an army of book agents. That this history of Sherman, the last of the great Generals, will surpass all others iu popularity is not to be doubted. The story of this great General's career Is of a marvellous march from the moun tains of time to the sea of eternity. Of the thrco great war hemes, Sherman was by far the most interesting personality, lie was tho bost known to tho public aud the best loved for his genial disposition and warm sympathy with tho popular heart. He has joined his illustrious compeers in his oternal bivouac of the the death. His is a life to study to emulate and is a profound inspiration. The forthcoming volume will toll the whole story of his marvellous career, and from the author ship engaged upon it we are assured it will be told iu a way that will enthral the interest of every reader from lirst to last. It is a book every American will want and one ovoi v American youth should read. It will doubtless be the bost life of the great chieftain published, aud we predict for it wonderful popularity.
