Italy'H Premier Stops Correspondence Witih Blaine, t R1o.1iE, May 3.--The Green Book on a the New Orleans lynching comprises twenty-four dispatches, dated from i March 14 to April 28. it shows that the Italian Government from the con mencement perseversed in asking that a crininal proceedings be taken against c" the lynchers and that indemnity be paid 01 to the families of the victims. The ex- 1 pression "brought to justice" recurs ill 0 the oliclal dispatches as well as Baron l Fava's private letters. The principal ti commnilications have already been t pIublished. After Blaine's note of April 1-1 the volume concludes with a telegram from the Ma<Iuis di Itudni to the Marquis in perali, the text of which is as follow: I have niow before me a note address ed to you by Secretary Blame of April * 1 I. its perusal produces a most pain fil iiapression uiponi me. I will not e si op to lay stress upon the lack of con- t foriity with diplomatic usages dis played in making public, as laine did not hesitate to (to, of a portion of a tele- d: gram of mine communicating to him in direct conwidence inl order to get rid of the Iiestion clearly delined inl our ollici a1 documents which alone posscss diplo matic value. Nor will I stop to point out the reference inl this telegram of C mine of Alarch 2 1, that the words "pun- g. isliment of the guilty," in the brevity i of telegraghic language, actually signi- c lied only that the prosecution ought to be commenced in order t hat individuals A recognized as guilty should not fcape A punishment. Far above all astute ar git ients remains the fact that hencefor w.ari the Federal Government declares 8 itself conscious of what we have con- e st antly asked, and yet it does not grant 1 our legitimate demands. laine is h right when lie makes payment of indem- a ilty to families of victims dependent Ipon, proof of violation of the treaty; a but we shrink from thinking that ihe l considers that the fact of such violation Z' still needs proof. Italian subjects ac quitted by American juries were massa cred inl the prisons of the State without P measures being taken to defend them. r What other proof does the Federal( ov- P ernment expect of the violation of the ' treaty wherein constant protection anid c security of the subjects of the contract ing parties is expressly stipilated. We have placed on evidence that we have never asked anythihg else but the open- t ing of regular preceedings. In regard to this, Baron Fava's first note, dated t March 15, contained even the formula of a telegram addressed on the same day by Mr. Blaine under order of President 8 I larrison to the Governor of Louisiana. C Now, howover, in the note of April 1.1 Mr. Mlaine is silent on the subject, which t is for us the main point of contro- c versy. c We are tinder tle sad necessity of P concluding that what to every otlier Government would be the accomplish- n ment ot a civil ditty is impossible to 0 thme Federal (Coverinment. It is time to s break oil this bootless controversy. b Public opinion, the sovereign judge, s] will know howv to ind(icate an equitable cW -solution of this grave problem. We 9 r have allirmed and( we again allirm our e right. Let the Federal Government re- ti I lect upon its side if it is e xpedienit to s leave to the mercy of each State of the 0 Union01, irresp)onsiible to foreign coun tries, the elliciency of treaties pledlginig its faith and honor to entire nations. ti ThJ le priesenit dispatch is addressed to t you exclusively, not the Fedteral Gov- ~ eriinent.

C., May 1.-There was a Inysterious occurrence in Ben I nettsville a few nights ago, which has A puzzled the most philosophical minds. t Many theories have been advance(d, yet the mystery remains unsolved. )oors and windows are barred at night; nioe turnal pedestrians ambulate the streets with lighted lanterns; the cracking ofr a twig or the rustle of the wind causes B a sudden halt and rapid pulsations of di the heart. The colored people are ti 0 alarmed beyond description, and are 1 - daily expected to institute a general Ir I exodus from the town. S For two months Mr. P. C. Emanuel al has been living in Mr. St. P. Coving. a - ton's house in East .Bennettsville. Thpis Si Z is comparatively a newly settled place, 3 splendid building, surrounded with bi sweet and luxuriant flowers, situated w in one of the most desirable neighbor- i; hoods in town. On the night in question, Mr. Eman- J t el and wife had just retired, but had B not gone to sleep. The moon was i Y shining brilitly, every thing bei ng quiet 3 and serene. About I1 o'clock, the re- tI 3 port of what seened a gun was heard t f at the bed chamber window. The shot w wats plainly heard falling in the rooi. Mr. Einanuel is not a timid man by A e any methods. Ile has plenty of nerve and scarcely can be frightened by or- c dinary means. Ile at one concluIded 0' that some one had accidentally shot in- 9 to hisi room, but, directly a second ro S port. at the same place, was repeated. L rs. Emnaniiil was terribly fright i ened. 11er hIsband lowered the lamp, rushed to the win(ow, threw open t.he u blinds, and discharge Il his pistol in the r direction of the groundI. For a miniit or two all was quiet, wheni siddenly, in his room, near his trunk, ini rapid l lsuccession, two reports of what seened Itf 0 to be pistol shots, were heard. A fter \ a short, interval there were t wo reports i e ulnder the liouse, direcly under t he bed room, and just at iat, iuoiment the i house shook and crockery ware rattlvd, ti and a noise was heard as it glass were being ground inl a miill, aid sinuita j C neously every rooster in the nei:libor hood commenced crowing. e .ir. Eimaniel says he was sure that " It judgment day had arrived, and that lie ti e had no other thought but that in a short P s time he would be facing the Ituimacu- ti late Judge. MI. Eianuel vacated the , d house at once, and the place is now n11. e, occupied, where "gobblin danins" can r hold high carnival. Mr. Emanuel is an a honest, truth ful and intelligent citizen, t and the above facts were recited to 1 Y ''he State correspondent, hy him in a Is special interview.-State. t is --__ s 'he War in Clillo. t.

There were many conflicting reports n the streets as to the causes which led o the diificulty, but the following ac otint of it from a gentleman who was t the camp yesterday after the occur ence, may be regarded as strictly relia le: It seems that IIammet and his friend, . L. Williams. two Barnwell men who 'ere in the employ of Stack & Rtoof, ecided somne days ago to qItit work and emanded their pay. With this demand Ir. Stack was unable to comply at once, , his firm Only has monthly settle ients with the chief contractors, which re made on the 20th of each month. Vhen informed that they could not get ieir pay at once, the report is that lese men became very troublesoine nid riotous, and with pistols in hand, revented the other hands from work ig. Mr. Stack then stw tie chief' con ractors, and with the view of getting Ad of these men arranged to have them aid off, and they were paidi off by hecks on the Loan and Exchange aik, II am met receiving the sum of 24, which it is said wvas the amounit uie hiimi. 'Thle gentleman who gave the above uformation says that the story of the utrther troubile as given to him by the eophe at the cam p. was to the effect hat Ilammiet and VWilliams came over r> Columbiia after getting their checks, rnd then returned to the camp and still nterfe(rred1 with the hands and preven ed1 them from working, and thiat this tate of affairs continued until yester ny mnorning. At that time Mr. Stack eing on horseback at the camp, was ssaumlted by Ilatmmet, who camte at imo with a pine ktiot in his hand andh birew it at him, atnd Stack then drew iS liistoi and( shot I lammet through 'rist. liammret felt for his pistol, arnd, iissinig it, called to WVilliamis to bring lim his, which hie (lid. Th'len Stack red twice again, one shot striking latmmet int the uipper part of' the arti, lie other striking himi in the middlec of he abdnoinen, passing clear thmrough the >odfy. It (does not appear fromt t,he ac mints received1 that Williams took any mirt ini then di hliculty ex cept to hamnd his rietnd time pistol. As sooni as lie ha~d donie t' shtootinrg, I'-.

Whose Long-Continued Thievcry Is Juxt Discovered NEw YORi,'April30.-The Ninth Na Lional bank is in trouble. There has been a defalcation of nearly $500,000, 1 was the startling rnmor that circulated about the city. It proved only too true on investigation. The late pres(tent, John T. Iill, who died at his home in New Brunswick, N. J., last month, was discovered to have been a defaulter for over 8,100,000. The fact was not known or dreamed a of until an extimination of his own and o the bank's affairs was made after his death. Ile died honored and respected, with a reputation untarnished. The revelations of the last few days have as tonished and shocked his friends and brought sorrow and disgrace to the 4 family. The actual condition or affairs was I learned when Presient Ilill's successor 1 was elected, in the person of C. Henry Garden, who had been theacting vice president for many years, and upon go ing over Mr. 11ill's private papers and the securities of the bank, which, dur ilg his life, President ili took almost sole charge of. President IIill's methods were peculi ar and very simple. lIe was the.execu tor and trustee for several laig estatve in New Jersey, were his reputation for honesty and shrewdness as a financier was such that he was frequently select ed for such ollices of trust and responsi bility. As executor he i had the hand ling and control of a larg(t ntimber of securities of greater or less value, which were liehi as investn ents. 'lh1e-m for convenience and salet-y he kept at the hank. I Iis plan i n briel wa-i this: Whe ii loans wero m11a(he to customlers ot tlit bank they deposited collateral in thw shape of bonds or stovks. These wre placed in envelopes and put away in (he strong box of the batik, which was kept in the vault, aald was ilde' iniutllite supervision of the president. Slhbe quently when the lo:ls were paid, usil ally by certiflied checks, the collat vraIs wete returned to the borrower. President 11ill, however, insteati ot marking the loan oi on tHit hooks of I lit bank woul substitute t soiie of the sv curies lie held as executor, rep-ite tlie envelope ill the uox, and pocket, Ohe cheek. So far as was shown by the hooks of the bank the loans to thi cus tomer was still outstanding. l'he cus tomer himself wouhl know nothiig of this, and so far as .ppears none of the people in the bank were any wiser. I L was an easy matter to arrange for ai interest payments that might becoine dule. li time it seems that Ilill hecaiml bolder i his operations, or motre desper ate, for it appears that, lie did not, eveni go through the formality of silbstiitut ing his trust securities in the envelopes when the other securities were received by the bank's customers, for many ot the envelopes have been found to be en tirely empty. IIill carried on this form of business for several years, for so far as can be learned his first act was comi mitted sonic four or live years ago. His death oi Alarch I caused the liost profotind sorrow. ind his widow and four children had the syilpatly of all the people of the it,y in which they lived. The (efaulltilg president had heen connected with the bank ever since its organization in February, 18; 1. lie was first paying teller, then cashittr, and lin ally becaie president in 1877. Ie was a man of unsullied reputation tilt t o Iho itiie of hi4 death and the discoveries following. As a btisiness inan hle was considered careful, conservative ad very shrew~d.

COLu.MilA, S. C., April 30.-overnor len Tillman was looking spruce, cool nd comfortable in a new light alpaca umnmer coat, when I found him in his flico at the capitol this morning. "Will South Carolina be represented t, the coming third party con vention in 'incintii ?" I asked. "I'here may be some volunteer dele ates from this State," answered the overior, but if there are, they will go here as idividiuals, and they will rep eseit nobody but themselves. They ertainly will not represent either the \ liance or the Alliance sentiment, in the 4tate, "I am conviniced that the farmers of his State are unalterably opposed to any md all t hird party scheme. So long as hey have negro rule and Federal inter :erence staring them in tihe face, the in titnct of self preservation tells them to itick together aid to work out their sal vation as )emocrats and inside the ranks of the I)t-locratic party. "Yes, sir," repeated the Governor, 'arnestly, "You uiity put me down as ab iollttey id<l une<uivocally opposed to ihis (incinati third party scheme and 'ill siuilar selmelt.s.

"liut," ctll i itted he, "the free coinage of silver is only ote phase of the tinanu cial question. We wvant not only more silver, but more greentacks, and i favor lie idirect, issue of' greentacks based on it' verinent's tredit. If the govern menit, ai al at >,toat,0,0 of green backs, why not 61,0),400,00o?

"lo smi lp the matter,"saidGovern or Tilliaii, "we want more money, we waiit, tie tariff reform, and we are too afraid of the negro to rut off into any t hird party."u "W h%ih. of these questions dt VIt con sider' of th' gr'eatest importancey I ask ed .
