Foreign Affairs.
MADRID, July 19-4 A. M.-At mid?
night, last night, the carriage of the
King and Queen was fired upon by a
party of assassins. The King nnd
Queen, who were the only occupants of
tue carriage, escaped uninjured. Ono of
the assassins was killed by an attendant,
and two wera captured. The royal
family are now at the palace, receiving
the congratulations of the populace upon
their escape. The tranquillity of tbe city
is uudistarbed, although, when accounts
of the affair began to be generally circu?
lated, there was much excitement.
Crowds gathered in tho neighborhood
where the attack had been made. By 4
o'clock in the morning, almost the entire
population of Madrid was hastening
through the streets. Their Majesties
remained self-possessed daring the scene
of* excitement which ensued after the at?
tack and brief oonfliot with the assas?
sins. When quiet had been in a measure
restored, they proceeded to the palace,
where they now are, receiving members
oi the Miniatry, civic and military au?
thorities of the city, and deputations
from the people. AU classas are enthu?
siastic in rejoicing over the failure of the
murderous attack.
GENEVA, July 19.-Great precautions
are being taken by those connected with
the board of arbitration to secure abso?
lute secrecy. With this view, the entire
party of English representatives refuse
to go into any secrecy. A number of
influential gentlemen of Italy have
united in an address to Oount oclopis,
President of the board, congratulating
him upon the part he has taken in the
proceedings of that body, and expressing
gratification that the dispute between
Great Britain and Am?rica has beet sub?
mitted to the deoision of a peacefU tri?
bunal.
LONDON, July 19.-It is reported that

American Matters.
WASHINGTON, Joly 19.-A person
signing himself J. T. Piokett, Confede?
rate States Diplomatic Agent, near the
Government of Mexico, publishes a long
letter in explanation of his connection
with the transaction whereby the United
States paid $75,000. Piokett claims to
have acted merely as attorney. He says: i
"The documents consist of the entire
archives of the Department of State of
the Confederate States-nothing more
nor less-without the abstraction of a
single piece. The secret service vouch-.
era, by whioh many persons, of little
note, however, this side of the lines
might have been compromised, did not
leave Biohmond with those more public
papers, bat were faithfully and honora?
bly destroyed by Mr. Benjamin, the day
of the ?vacuation. Had any each
papers oome into my possession, I
should have been burned at the state
sooner than deliver them, even to the
common government. Thus, I do not
perceive that anybody is hurt, and there
is but one paper the perusal of whioh
gave any pain-the Hon. Jacob Thomp
' eon's report of operations on the fron?
tier, Seo.-the' existence of whioh WSB
unknown to me, until the officer with
whom I lately went to Canada found it.
As ho would testify if called npon, it was
too late, then, to recede; nor could I
have been induced to falsify history by
destroying it; and here followed a cari?
ous ?pisode. Kuowing that the docu?
ments exhibited the fact that Mr.
Thompson had a very large amount of
Confederate States gold in bis posses?
sion, at the time of the collapse, which
gold has gone 'where the woodbine
twineth, I went a long journey, last
summer, to see him, and out of abund?
ant kindness, told him of the fact
that such papers were still extant,
He woola not be convinced, saying Mr.
Benjamin had-told him that everything
of the kind had been destroyed; andi
dare say he was so informed and be?
lieved; this being manifestly the oue of
that wily Hebrew, in order to share in
the plunder aforesaid. Now, inasmuch
as the Confederate Government was in?
debted to the writer in the amount of at
least 950,000 of that gold, on liquidated
account, he (the writer) felt virtuously
indignant that Messrs. Thompson and
Benjamin should haye gobbled it all.
By Mr. Thompson's permission, I after?
wards addressed him on the subject, in
the hope that he would make an effort to
secare the entire mass of documents, bat
he treated my letter with offensive si
lenoe. Now, the publication of his re
Sort will, doubtless, oauae him, with
efferson Davie and J. P. Benjamin, to
feel uncomfortable for a little while; but
aa I expeot to go to neither of them
when I aie, my sympathy shall not be of
a heart-rending character, especially as
they, have all- three treated me badly
euongh in my time; and thus I am,
albeit unintentionally, the instrument of
the execution of a sort of poetic justice
npon them." The letter does no oredit
to the author, the Federal Government,
or the mysterious parties who owned the
documento, and there are parties here
who question the truthfulness of some
of the details.

M?TAMOBAS, Jal; 19.-Military opera?
tions unimportant, owing to a taoit un?
derstanding between the forces at Monte?
rey and General Trevino, at Monolavs,
to await tbe result of the negotiations at
the City of Mexico, looking to a pacifi?
cation of the country, witliont farther
hostilities. General Booba reviewed the
Government forces recently, at Monte?
rey, 8,000 strong. He is expected here,
with an escort, to arrange to supply his
army from this point. It is stated that
telegraph communication will shortly be
opened to the City of Mexico, there
being no obstructions. The line is
being built.
WASHINGTON, Joly 19-Evening -The
following is a summary of tbe July cot
ton,crop report of the statistician of the
Department of Agriculture: The past
month has been generally favorable to
cotton. Slight areas have been affected
by drought, but rains were quite general
daring the latter part of June on the
Atlantic coast. Showers have been so
frequent and heavy since June 20, as to
delay cultivation, and promote the
growth of weeds and grass. Before
that date, a season of comp rative
drought of seven or eight weeks bad
been suffered in a portion of this dis
triot, while othor Counties represent the
weather as having been uniformly favor?
able. The variation in rain-fall during
tho past month has been coualdorable on
the Atlantic States, ranging us follows, at
stations reported: From 1.02 inches to
4.95 in Virginia; 1.75 to 5.49 in North
Carolina; 1.04 to 3.95 in South Caroli?
na; from 1.25 to 4.96 in Georgia; from 4
to 6 in Florida; and from 1.55 to 4.89 in
Alabama. In the States on the Missis?
sippi the fall baa been abundant. Tbe
lowest record in the several States was
from 2 to 4 inches and the highest from
5 to ll. In ' Tennessee, the range ie
from 6.04 to 10; in Louisiana, 4.35 to
ll; in Texas, 2.02 to 6.09. The States
making averages lower than 100-the
standard of good condition-are Virgi?
nia, North Carolina and South Carolina,
in whioh the average rain fall in May
and June was light, and Arkansas, where
injury has resulted from heavy and un?
seasonable rains. In all the other Statet
the averages are above 100.
The figures representing condition ar?
as follows: Virginia, 96; North Carolina,
94; South Carolina, 97; Georgia, 101
Florida, 102; Alabama, 106; Mississippi
109; Louisiana, 103; Texas, 105; Arkan
sas, 95; Tennessee, 104. Taking inte
consideration tbe relative importance o
the States in production, the genera
average of condition would be about 103
As a whole, the Joly returns of the pre
sent year indicate a higher average o
condition than those of any previously
reported except 1868.
Probabilities-A local storm of somi
severity is apparently moving North
ward into Louisiana and Alabama
Cloudy weather, with numerous looa
storms, is probable for Saturday through
out tbe Southern and Gulf States
Light winds and cool pleasant weathe

FORNEY AGITATED ABOUT GOVEBNMENT
COMPENSATION FOR SLAVES.-Fornoy in
greatly agitated-dreadfully agitated.
Of coo rao, he ia for Grant and tho im?
maculate Radicals, whose highest con?
ception of "peace" is to tight for it; and
of publio policy ia to enforce as law
whatever the Radical party may clothe
in the form of law. Nevertheless, For?
ney is terribly agitated. Hu says be
respects Greeley tvs a very worthy m*u,
except that he has formed a coalition
with the Democrats for the overthrow of j
a military government and the re-estab?
lishment of a civil authority nnder the |
constitution as the paramount powor.
He says that "it will not help the cause |
of the Rspublicau party" to abuse aud
disparage Charles Sumner because of
his terrible Philippic against Grant.
Harlranft, the Radical candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, who earned
laurels at the scaffold of the unfortunate
Mrs. Surratt, he declares will lose the
State lo tho Republicans by 40,000 ma?
jority. But the special cause of tribula?
tion is that Greeley's election (whioh he
halt way oonoedes) will bring compensa?
tion to the Southern people for slaves |
emancipated by Lincoln's proclamation.
He is very sensitive. His words ar? re?
markable. We quote without comment
literally except to Italicize a single line
which concedes the justice of the claims I
for compensation, whioh the colored I
population would hail with delight aa1
quieting all their troubles for tbe future.
The Press, of the 13:h of July, says:
"If through the Greeley coalition the
ex-rebels of the South should themselves
become again the controlling elemeut of
a majority party, with a President nnd
Congress subservient to their wishes, ia
it not moro than likely that they would
demand compensation for their emanci?
pated slaves? Remembering that Mr.
Greeley advocated compensated emanci?
pation in 1862, and, no doabt, from a
sincere belief that it was just, lie might
not os President regard the claim as pre?
posterous, even ut this late day. The I
Democraoy at Baltimore adopted, with?
out change, the Cincinnati platform,
whoBe seventh clause snys: 'The publio |
credit must bo sacredly maintained, and
we denounce repudiation in every form or
guise.' Ouce restored to power, mainly
by the votes of the Southern States,
this party might be disposed to give the
widest construction to this plank of their
platform. The slave-owners would un?
questionably present their bills to the
National Government and urge, not with?
out a specious shoio of plausibility, that
the taking away of their valuable slave
properly without reimbursement was repu?
diation under the guise of a war, and
that, therefore, thu new Administration
was pledged by the Baltimore platform
to pay them."
THE CENTRAL PARE MUSEUM-Prof.
S. F. Holmes, of Charleston, S. C., is
arranging a large and valuable collection
of fossils and specimens at the American
Museum of Natural History in the Cen?
tral Park. Among the interesting speci?
mens already on exhibition are the fossil
remains of u man, which were found in
1544, near Charleston. These remains
consist of the tibia, the femur and tho
lower jaw-bone. A fossil resembling a
bunch of ostrich feathers; shark's teeth,
six and a quarter inches in length and
weighing two pounds each; a mammoth's
tooth, weighing sixteen and a half
pounds; a lizard's lower jaw-bone, "wo
und a half feet long, and a fossil oyster,
twenty-two iueb.es long, are among the
curiosities of thu collection. There arc
also 100 glass jars, contaiuing specimens
preserved in alcohol. One of these is a
mammoth spider, whose bite is equally
as poisonous as that of the rattle-snake.
This specimen was fonud ut Ingleside,
Prof. Holmes' plantation, near Charles?
ton. The shells of the Southern coast
are well represented. Tho Professor had
proposed to send the collection to Eng?
land, but it ie hoped that it may ulti?
mately bo retained in the Museum at the
Park. The Board of Park Commission?
ers and the Trustees of the Museum of
Natural Histcry have made arrangements
to erect new buildings in the Central
Park, between Seventy-ninth aud Eighty
fourth streets, near Fifth avenue. Plana
have been prepared, and the construc?
tion of the buildings will soon be begun.
The Verreaux collection, which was
bought in Paris before the Frauco-Ger
man war, has been received in perfect
order.-New York Tribune.
SAUNDERS, THE SOUTH CAROLINA MUR?
DERER, ESCAPES AUAIN.-A private letter
from a friend at Bartow informs ns of
the second escape of a man named
Saunders, charged with the murder of
his father-in-law in South Carolina-this
time from the jail at Swainsboro. This
avowed murderer was arrested some time
fiinoe and placed in jail at Louisville,
Jefferson County, to await the demands
of the South Carolina authorities. He
effected his escape, but was re-arrested
in Emanuel County, and lodged in jail
at Sweiusboro, from which he bas also
escaped, and is again at large. How he
effected his latter escape is not stated.
Saunders unhesitatingly uokowledges his j
guilt in a number of murders, and
threatens vengeance on ail who seek to

MR. BOUTWELL.-Aflora considerable
amount of blowing, hooting, tooting,
banging and blustering, yesterday morn?
ing, the leaders ot tbs party succeeded
in gathering a small crowd of white Re?
publicans and a somewhut larger one of
the "dark-faced" gentry, together with
quite a large number of Democrats,
within the walls of the Oourt House, to
bear this gentleman expatiate on the po?
litical issues of tho day. Not being pre?

give even a meagre r-port of the speech,
but understand that nearly the whole
time (two or three boure) was taken up
in defending the present Government
officials from the fraud and corruption
that they stand charged with. Of course,
it is to his interest, and to the interest
of the party whioa he represents, to

matter in golden colors; you may pre?
sent the workings of tho Government in
its mildest and most beautiful aspects,
but the solid voters of the "Old North
State" cnn have no confidence in what
you say. They have felt the pressure;
they have been weighted down by its
oppression long enough, and on the flrtt
day of August next, their voices will be
beard from the mountains to the sea?
shore, proclaiming, "Down pith tyranny
and oppression, and np with liberty,

DIDN'T LIKE HIM. -On returning from
the Oourt Houso, yesterday afternoon,
where we bad been to hear Mr. Boutwell
tell about the honesty, of the Govern?
ment officials, we were accosted, by one
of the "colored brethren" who had also
been there. He said: "Mister, dat old
feller thinks he knows more about it dan
anybody else, aud be wont give nobody
else a obanoe to say a word. I got tired
of him, I did, and I don't think I'll go
back any more." Fanciful figures didn't
suit him at all, and we are half way in?
clined to the belief that he (the colored
man) will oonclude and vote for his best
and truest friend, Horace Greeley.

BILL AND Bon SARTOR.-We learn
that Bill Sartor, the notorious thief who
was sentenced at the last term of oourt
for this County, to two years' imprison?
ment in the State Penitentiary, made
bis escape from that place last Saturday
night, and has joined his brother Bob,
who is at largo and committing many
depredations in this County. After the
tatter shot Mr. Willard, of which we
gave an acoount in our last issue, a
party of four or five took out a warrant
to arrest bim. In their search on Mr.
Young's plantation, they found in a ne?
gro house two trunks and about $300
worth of goods, which had been stolen
from Col. A. G. Rice, Home weeks ago,
besides other goods. We are informed
that they have been selling goods in
different parts of the County, at re?
markably low prices. These men are
perfect outlaws, and. if they are not ar?
rested soon, they will inorease their gaug
and commit some serious outrage in the
County. We hope tho authorities will
make a strong effort to have' them -ar?
rested. This is the second time that
Bill Sartor bas escaped from'the peni?
tentiary since be was sentenced. Either
the low condition of the State Treasury
will not permit a sufficient guard to bo
placed around that institution, or there
is culpable neglect among its offiiese, is,
no doubt, the cause. We are inolined
to think the fault is in the depleted
Treasury. That suoh a gang should be
permitted to go at large so long is an
outrage upou our citizens.

SHOOTING PEOPLE AS A JOKE.-Henry
Taggart was recently killed in Brooklyn,
N. x., by a young man named Thomas
Quailly, who playfully pointed a musket
at Taggart and jokingly said, "What
would you say if I was to shoot you
now?" Taggart shouted, "look out
whut you are doing," and at the same
time raised his hands in evident alarm.
Directly afterwards a ball from the mus?
ket struck him iu the right eye, and
emerged at tho back of his head, killing
him. The.se cases are alarmingly fre?
quent throughout the country, and it is
time a stop was put to them. Michigan,
we believe, is entitled to the credit of
having taken the lead in legislation
against criminal thoughtlessness. In
that State the pointing of a fire-arm,
loaded or unloaded, ut a citizen, is ad?
judged a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and imprisonment, and if damage
comes of such criminal folly, the perpe?
trator is held responsible, pecuniarily
and criminally. Other States would do
well to pass a similar law.
A MELANCHOLY DEATH.-We are
pained to ohroniole that Mr. H. Craw?
ford Lem mo od, a young' man' /rom this

last, in Monroe, N. C., from the effeots
of morphine, administered by himself.

JUGGERNAUT DAY.-Tho celebration of

procession in the streets.

NEW Firry CERT COUNTERFEITS.-Pe?
terson's Counterfeit Detector, for Joly,
gives the following description of the
new counterfeit half dollar notes, exten?
sively circulated at present: The head of
Stanton, the beard harsh and stiff, the
back grounds on the right of the head
irregular and scratchy. Under some of
the words "fractional currency," are Ave
lines in the ruled shade to the letters, and
but fonr in the genuine. lu the words
"United States," the black spaces be?
tween the body of the letters and the
ruled shades are irregular, and generally
narrower than the genuine, which are of
uniform width. On the back of the
counterfeit, the hair lines forming the
turns at the top and bottom of the Italic
letters are heavy; on the genuine, they
are light and delicate. The red seal
also differs materially from the genuine
in the form of the letters, whioh are
irregular, and on both sides of the let?
ters, and the rules forming the back?
ground to the shield. The fibre paper
on whioh the genuine notes are printed
has been imitated by scratchy lines en?
graved on the counterfeit plate. On ex?
amination with a glass, it will be seen
that the entire work differs from the
genuine.
A great deal of history-especially ec?
clesiastical history-was made in the last
brief session of the North German Par?
liament, whose pre-eminent measure was
the anti-Jesuit bill. This bill "abolishes
the convents and other establishments
of the order on German soil; it extends
the same veto to all other orders and
religious societies oonneoted with the
Jesuits, leaving to the Government to
determine whioh those societies are; and
it confers on the administrative authori?
ties the right, not, indeed, to expel the
Jesuits, OB first proposed, but to assign
to them the localities where alone they
may reside. This latter clause will, of
course, have the same effect as expulsion ;
for no Jesnit will allow himself to be
banished to the Danish frontier, to live
under surveillance among a purely Pro?
testant people, if he hos the alternative
of voluntary expatriation left him. But
there is a flaw in the i Act whioh we do
not know whether the Government will
succeed in removing. ? Wishing to make
sure of the law being sanctioned by the
higher powers, Parliament made it de?
pendent on the decision of the Federal
Council whether the necessary orders for
the restraining of the individual Jesuits
were to be issued by tho Central Govern?
ment or by the authorities of the various
States. Ii the latter mode prevail, it is
just possible that the measure will not
be carried out with equal stringency in
every part of the empire."
LONGFELLOW'S ACCIDENT - A GAM B
HOE.SE.-It will be learned with extreme
regret by the. large class interested, in
sporting matters that John! Harper's
great horse, Longfellow, was disabled
from racing, it is feared for life, by an
accident at the Saratoga course yester?
day. That. this took place in a. race
which saw two and a quarter miles ac?
complished in three minutes and fifty
nine seconds-the fastest time on record
-r-will make the accident the more re
gretable, when, too, it is learned that
Longfellow only lost the raoe by a length.
One of his plates became twisted in tho
running and ont the other foot and leg
badly, but the heart of the horse never
weakened. Ho ran gamely as . ever to
the end, and was led off limping and
bleeding to the stable. Then) seams
something in this of plnck, almost hero?
ism, whioh man arrogates entirely to
himself; hut two miles and a quarter on
little better than three legs and in suoh
time will challenge admiration the world
over. It will be remembered that: he
recently beat his successful rival of yes?
terday, Harry Bassett, at Long Branch,
in a two and a half mile raoe, by about
150 yards, in foar min?tes and thirty
four seconds.-New York Herald.
A new vessel is about to be built on
the Clyde, to ran between Liverpool and
New York, of dimensions only second to
the Great Eastern. Her length is to be
576 feet over all, and she is to be fifty

It is expected that the great steamship
will make the voyage from port to port

Some of the newspapers think it worth
while to tell us that Baron Rothschild
lost 815,000 at the Ascot raoes, just as if
he couldn't bettor afford to lose $15,000
than the rest of us could afford to lose
fifteen cents.
Mr. Gilmore is still ill from the effects
