most of his Iriemis have become alienated. Oa

very cold reception, and touni to nis aston

immense, 'be people docile, and hospitable to a

energies trom agricultural, and other pursuits
or industry, and ihe consequence is that the
Republic is becoming every day more and more
impoverished. At present the Treasury is
en pty ; the public creditors cannot get payment
ol their just claims, and tbe Government troops
are in an almost starving cjtidittoo. All works
of enterprise have been suspended as tbe result
ot confidence being destroyed, and. although
surrounded with a profusion of the elements of
wealth, the people are generally in a state of
miserable poverty. Atpreseut it does not appear

Kew Outlet from the HibHissippI.
The New Orleans Bulletin says: "We have
expressed our willioene.-s tbat the Munchac
Pass should be opened 10 New Orleans, because
it may brit.g a good deal of produce here, while
it cannot divert to another market any wuicu
we already have. We have now to auuouuce
tbe preparation for another canal, which pro
noses some advantages over even those already
in operatior. The work is to be doue under a
charier granted in 1655 by the Legislature of
Louisiana to Rxliard Stewart. It will be cut
f on a point on Ihe river twelve miles below
the city into a navigable bayou of Lake Borgne.
Tbe length of the excavation will uot exceed
two and a bait mi'es, anrt the work will cost tbe
cupital sum -f $2,000,000. The corporators are

Earthquake Waves on Hie Pacific.
The Iran Francisco 2?i eiin says: "An earth
quake wave which followed tbe recent eruption
in ibe Sandwich Islands was transmitted to this
toiist and recoioed on the Government self
repisterini,' tide gauges at t-un Francisco aud
Astor a in about five hours. On tbe 23d ot
December, 1854, a similar wave was transmitted
liom tbe coast ot Japuu to tbe Golden Gate in
12 hours aud 38 minutes. It will be recollected
tbat this earthquake wave caused tbe wreck ot
tbe Russian f-ga e Diaua in tbe port of bimoda
and great loss ot life. These lacts, which ara
diTlvto from the best authority, couvey a very
impressive idea of tne tremendous power

It will be seen that tbe revulsion of the great

along a st'etch of shore over 13 geographical

The 8t, Thomas (Missouri) Gajftte gives the
following: We oudetstand tbat Bond, the

Ins old quartets in the hil of Neniada county,
Kansas. Bono Is well known in this city ai a

to be always a vulue, and Boud, who bad been
petifd and piai-ed tor raids 00 the so-called
Rebels ot Missouri, suddenly tound hun
telt arretted, confined in the jail of
Buchanan county, and charged wi h stealing the
n hies 01 tbe Rev. Moses P. Lnrd. Unable, to
luru'sb tbe requisite bail, he was kept iu jail un
til ibe next term of tbe court. When bis case
was called lor trial, be was detended by Messrs.

the that be was found guilty and sentenced to
tbe State Prison lor three years. Reserved out
one j tar of ht term, and was then again turned
loose upon fociety. No soouer was Bond re
leased than be again commenced his system of
plunder. Gov. Halt, otthis city, was among bis
brst victims, from whom he stole two valuable
horses. fext we hear of tni desperado as the
ferpt trator ot a murder in that county, Kan

highly excited against him."
A Whole Family of Robber l Iartlaaa.
A correspondent of tbe Cinclnniti Commercial
gives the lollowing account ot a noted family of
robbers who have infested the neighborhood of
Seymour, Indiana, during the psit te v years.
The lather of this family Is oue William Reno.
The correspondent says he has lived m Jackson
coun'y lor over thirty years, and up to two
years ago, when stolen gr.ods were fouud in h.s
posbe-stou, was considered an honest thouga
eccentric mn. About ten years ago his family
endeavored to have a guardian appoiuted for
him, on the ground tbat be wus insauc. Palling
in ibis, his wife obtaiued a divo ce Irom bim.
This seemed to have d sturbed the lamily
relations but very little, and tue boys smetimus
lived with ihe father, aoout one m le from the
depot in Biymour, and sometimes with their
mother in that city.
There are hve boys Frank, John, Sim, Clint,
and Bill. Of these Clint is considered strictly
henest and honoiable; Frank and Jobu are
known to be sate-olowers, etc., and Hiui anl
Bill, though nothing is positively known against
tbem, are looked upon with suspicion.
The brst robbery or note they committed was
"blowlLg" a safe at Azalia, Ba-tbolomew county,
Indiana, by which they got $10,000. Frank lett
the couutry and went to Canada, it was said,
when a cousin of his turned state's evidence
against bim. He is now under bonds to appear
belore tbe United States Court at Indianapolix,
for robbing the post-ollice in Jouenville, in the
same county, but is in no danger of conviction,
as the princ pal witness aguiuat bim. Grant
Wilson, was absassinated a short distance from
his own house, in Jackson county, about three
yeais ago.
hrank, while supposed to be in Canula, would
occasionally visit the S.ates and rob some sa'e
that was lelt unguarded, aud so expert was he,
thaKbe was never detected. In these operations
Jobn was also supposed to bave a baud. There
were numerous robberies committed in and
near Seymour in 18(11-6, in wbich, it is supposed,
John bore u conspicuous part, though there
were no arietts, aa tbe people seemed to be
afraid of tbe destruction ot their properly if
anything was done to ferret out tbe thieves.
In October. 1806, tbe express car was robbed,
near Seymour, ol about $15 000, tnough $30,000
in a tale, was recovered. Jobn Reno and Frank
Sparks were arrested as principals, and Sim.
Reno as an accomplice, but were soon bailed
out. About five or six months afterwards
Frank and Jobn robbed the sate of one ot the
counties in the northern psrt ot tbe S ate, and
secured about $15,000. Frank was tried and
acquitted of the charge, but bis lawyer said
a.tertbe trial, that be and John were guilty.
Last December John robbed a sate in Gallatin,
Missouri, and is now serving out a sen'enccof
twenty-five years in tbe Missouri Penitentiary
for his crime.
Tbe citizens of Seymour believe tbat Frank
Reno was at the head of the late robbery ol trie
Express Company's car, on the JetTersouville
Rttilroad, near Seymour, when the robbers ob
ta.ntd $'J(,000.
A Wouiaa fbrowa Into Well by Her
Dsii(bU(lBUW,
Fromtht Toronto (J lobe, July 11.
The magistrates of Markham bave been in
vet filiating a tiranpe case that lias recently come
to light in tbat township, involving a serious
charge against a youug woman named Mrs.
MHry Harrington, the coarse, if true, and it
was sworn to by the party whose lite was at
tempt! d by tbe act, reveals a shocking ab ence
ot human feeling, aud an amount ot moral da
pravity ecatcely creditable in one whose rela
tionship was so dose to her whose me was
threatened.
Tbe depositions taken before tbe magistrates
are to the effect tbat on the 27th of May last the
accused, a young womau, about six nion'bs
married to the sou ot the prosecutrix, persuaded
her mother-in-law to visit a well at some dis
tance trom tbe bouse tor the purpose of procur
ing a pail ot water. Tbe old woman was in tbe
act cf stooping to dtaw up the pail, when she
was pushed headlong down tbe cavity, a dis
tai.ee of about forty leet. Her clothes extended
as the descended the well; tbe shock was not so
gn at at the bottom as to kill her, and when re
stored to consciousness she tound herself lying
across the bottom, with her leet against oue
side and her head uprk-ht.
There being only a foot or two of water in the
well, she was saved Irom drowning, and her
son coming along shortly afterwards, secured
tne a-sts'anceof some neighbors, and rescued
her. After dispo.-mg ot her mother-In-law,
Mis. Mary Harrington weut to tbe residence of
a i.ejpbbor, and assumed a despondent, ab
stracted mood, saying tbat some one was dead
at their house, without adding who it was.
Tbe elder Mrs. Harrington at tbe same time
being re cued, was being attended by a physi
cian to whom sbe refused to state how she fell
iu, except to once contradict the idea tbat it was
by accident. The atJa'r was thus a'temp ed to
be buhid up, but the neigbbots feeling an
investigation necessary, obtained a fejy
days aeo sufficient from tbe old woman to war
rni tbe ariest of tbe daughter, and she was
brouttht before the magistiaies of the township
on Friday last. Tue facta as detailed were then
obtained lri.m tbe motber-ln law rather reluc
tantly, but with sufficient clearness to warrant
their committing the young woman to lull to
stand her trial. The motive lor the act is unex
plained, and several witnesses swear distinctly
that no appearance of other than good feeling
was ever observed between the two parties con
cerned. It appeals, however, that the mother-in-law
held a claim in dower over the son's (arm,
a fact which may partially explain the cruel and
inhuman act.

Special DttptiLClx to The Evening Teteyraph.
Wsuikgton, July 17. The following is the
letur of Cummander Creighton, of tbe United

.witmssfd by him at Uiopo, Japan:

J-ATAN, March 14, 1H08. Hon. Gideou Welles,
Secieiaiy of the United States Navy, Washing
ton, D. C. Sir:-1 have the honor to communi
cate the particulars of the execution of the
Jaramse otlicial, fati Zaugutiiro, retainer ot
Matsdara Bizenno Kami, who ordered his
tioops to fire on tbe foreigners at tuis place ou
tbe 4tb ultimo. This execution was witnessed
by nie, at the request of our Miuister-General,
R. B. Van Valkenburgh, and is as follows;
1 lett the Legation at about nine P. M., in
company with the officers attached to the
toieign legations, and proceeded to Uiogo,
whpre we were met by a guard, who escorted us
to the Temple, where tbe executiou was to take
place. There was a large number of peoole on
each side of the street leading to tbe Temple,
ai d quite a number of toliiers drawu up inside
and about the Temple. We were shown into a
loom adjoining the Japanese oilicials, where we
wetc asked if we wished to question tbe person
about to be executed, to w hich we answered in
the negative; rhey also took the name of
every official preseu. After waiting about
ball an hour we were c.tnuueted
by tbe Jnpatese officials into what
appeared to be the principal roim of the tem
ple, which was ligbted with candles, and iu
fri nt of tbe al'ar was a raised plattorm ot about
a foot in height, which extended across tbe
room, and we were placed on the light of the
altar, within a few leet of wbeie the execution
was to take place, with tbo Japanese officials
on the lett. In front ot tbe alrar was a green
clotb, and in front ot that aied one; we were
informed tbat the executiou would take place
ou tbe red cloth, beating ourselves upou the
mats on the platform, we waited the execution.
In a few moments the prisoner came iu,
dressed in the usual Japanese dress of a person
ot iaDk, accompanied by tbe executioner, who
was bis pupil, and most Intimate triend. He
walked with a steady, firm step in front of the
altar, where be knelt in prayer. He then arose
