This is the title of a charming little story that will be published in The Her ald and News the first we- k in April. It is from the pen of Dr. 0. B. Mayer, Sr., and was first written by him many years ago, and is now being revised an d rwritten by him for publication in The Herald and News. We make this - announcement so that if you are not now a subscriber you nvay begin in time tosecure this beautiful story.Send us in your name at once. After the "Easter Egg" is completed we will publish several other interest ing stories and articles during the year from the pen of this gifted writer. You should lose no, time in ordering The Herald and News, for you may wait until it is too late. It is for your bene fit as much as ours that this announce ment is made before hand. Judge Witherspoon think-s the law against carrying concealed weapons ought to be more rigidly enforced. He is right. As it is the law is a dead letter, and only an occasional negro is brought to trial for the offense. Columbia seems to be having as much trouble over the Canal as the State of South Carolina had before she sold it. Columbia had better hold on to it now that she has it about com pleted. The killing of those Italians in New Orleans is greatly to be deplorf'I. It is true that the murdcr of Clief Hen nessey was cruel and unprovoked. as sassination, but mob law should not be encouraged or countenance1-d. The fail ure of juries to do their duty will al ways lead to such results, and the con dition of thir:gs is very much to be de plored when it is so. If the jury was bribed all who took part in it should be made to suffer, by a strict enforcement of the law. The whole city seems to have risen en mnasse, that justice might be meted out to those who had violated the law and had been acquited by a corrupt jury, but in doing so they were violat ing the law in the very act of giving justice to offenders. No doubt those who were killed de served the fate they received, but it is a pitty the n'ecessity shoeld have arisen for administering justice in the man it was. Attorney-G3enera'. Pope has associ ated with him as counsel for the State in the Coosaw case the Hon. Geo. S. .Rower, of Newberry. He could not ave made a better selection. Mr. Mower is one of the ablest young law vers in the Scate. The State Press Association will meet in Georgetown the last of A pril. We hope the committee on programme will look after the business part of the meeting as well as after the junketting expedition. Let us have discussions on practical questions relating to journ aism, and a little fun too, if you hnae. Palmer has been electedl United States Senator from Illinois after a long and expensive contest. H-e is the first Democratic Senator from that State in a long time. We publish elsewhere a correspon dence between the Phosphate Conui sion and the Coosaw Company lookiiig to a compromise so that the mionn of rock could be continued until th.: legal rights of all parties could be ascertaiied by the courts. We trust some arrangemnents can be made, for both parties are losing by the present status of the case.

They did not, however, waive in lenst by su(h stoppage any right: whili they believed themselves e tied, nor do they now deem it pro here to discuss the right to rest such operations under the order of court.

RenllesSY, las and though there are eleven niei dead ro now who were happy yesterday over -a- their victory in the greatest erininal trial which this city has ever witnessed, the work of blood was accomplished without Unnecessary disorder, without riotillg, without pfilaging and without the inillctiOi of sUIlering on any inno ent Iian save one, and he was slightly ea- hurt. It was not an unruly midnight [.- mob; it was simlyl a Kuilen, deter ' mined body of citizens, who took into their own hands what justice had ig noinliniouslV failed to do. Le I he chiel of police was slain on Oe he tober 15, and that very night evidence . egan to aceuniulate showing that his ai Jeath had beeu deiiberately planned by a secret tribunal and carried out 4f b~ldly and successfully by to,is of the Id conspirators. The trial lasted twenty ti five days, and, though the evidence seemed conclusive, the jury, currently in charged with having been tampered with, failed to convict. Last night a body of cool headed ien--lawyers, ius doctors, merchants and political lead "Iers, all persons of influence and social iay standing-quietly ruet and decided U. that some action must be taken and the people's justice, swift and sure, vis t ited upon tbose whom the jury had neglected to punish. This morning ~ a call for a mass meeting at the Clay me nionument, on Canal street, appeared in the papers, which editorially depre cated violence. The signiticant closing ac- sentence of the call was : "Cone pre pared for -zctioi." ave Down in a large room on Bietivilie .on- and Roval streets there was an arsenal, which had been provided by a body of the citizens. The call was answered by to the populace. At 1 o'clock there was lti- a crowd of several thousand anxious per people congregated around the Clay itiestatue. They hardly knew what was the going to happen, but they seemed ready hey to tio any length, and while there were, -ith of course, many of the lower element in thee the throng, the large proportion were o - leading people of the town. a ll There were three addresses, short the and pithy and business-like, and the assemblage not unwillingly was soon on- keyed up to a high pitch of demoin Av stration in denunciation of the assas hat sins. red Each of the speakers said there had inlg been a great mass meeting nionths be the fore which met quietly and dispersed onl- peacefUlly so that the law naght take the its course. The law had failed. The -ov- time to act had come. W. S. Parker tie soo? the leader is a prominent lawyer here, president of the Southern Ath the lectic Club and the nan who led the t ter- vigorous city reform move three years eect ago. Walter D. Deneger another of not the speakers, is one of the leaders of a1tc, the New Orleans Bar ; John C. Wick jure lifre, also a prominent attorney, and iioLn James ). Houston, one of the forenist Se- men of the State, also spoke. nd After denouncing Detective O'Mat ly y a le.y, who is supposed to have tampered ak- with thejury, the speakers announced , of that they wvould lead the way to the the parish prison. Wickliffe concluidinig for with these words : "Shall the execra ii- ble Mafia be allowed to flourish1in this city ? Shall the Mafia be allowed to ted dowvn ou. 3mzen~s on the public streets ui- by the foul nieans of assassination. ur hall the Maria be allowved to bribe loin juro:s to let murderers go scot free?" By this time the crowd had swelled 11s to three thousand or more, and before the any one could realize what happened )ig thet great throng, gaining recruits at rit every step, was tramping dowvn the trs streets to the neighborhoodi of the pris the on, stopping ouiy once, and that was at 'ad the arsenal, wvhere doubI le-barreled I a shotguns, Winchester rifles and pistols hi were handed out to responsible and re the spotable citizens in the party. nue The starting of the crowd had elec sutric effect on the city. Soon the streets arrd were alive with people ruuming from all directions and joining the main body, which moved sullenily down hgRapart street to the jail, near Congo ig square. Doors and windows were thrown open, and men), women and r children crowded on the galleries to encourage those who were taking part I-and to witness the scenes.. 1.- When the main crowd from Canas r street reached the prison there had 1e- already collected there a dense throng, Sall eager to take a hand in whatever .,tinmight happen. When the vanguard it of armed citizens reached the prison, .n which is many squares fron, Canal street, thiat grimf od buildinig was sur ay- rounded on all sides. Shierifi \Villere, - vhnl lie heard th ; a movemn)ct was aeon foot to take the prisoners, armed his edeputies and started on a hunt for Aiioayor Shakespeare. The Italian consul and Attorney General Rogers joined in the pursuit, hbut his 1. onor does not onrreatch~ his office till nioon, and he was ou not to be found at any of his regular o aunts. The Governor had not heard o f the uprising, and he had no time to act, anti the g. lice force was too sinall t e o offer miuch resistance to the arniy of a vengers. Superinitenident Gaster or m ered an extra detail of officers to the j jil, and the small crowd kept the sidhe wn alks arotind the jail clear till the reat inutltitude, swelling all the tinme ucas Eike a mnighty roaring stream, surged 'cot around the dloor and crowded the little b and of blue-co:tat y byCapt.

Wh len the gas leaders inside the prison got possessioin ne avengers pressuinto the yard the white prisoners. The door of the firt cell was open and a group of trembling prisoners stood inside. They were not the men wanted and the crowd very uuickly, though with re niarkable covlness, burst into the yard. Peering through the bars of the con dein"ed cell was a terror-stricken face which some one mistook for Scai;edi. A vollev was tired at the man and he dropped, but none of the shots struck him. and it was subsequently found that he was niot ole of the assassins. Tle inmates of the jail were ready to dirtct the way to where the Italians were. "i- tothiefemale deparl mZent some c:f yeled. and thither the nten with thtr Winche"ters ran. But the door was locked. I a imo:ient a key was got, then the lIader called for -wie one who knew the riglht men and a volunteer reSpon ded: the door was throwi opei, the gallery was deerted, but an old woman, speaking as fast as she could, _aid the mCII were Up-stairs. A party of ?even or eight quickly ascended ihe stairs and as thev reached the landing the assas sins fled down at the other end. A half dozen followed then. Scarcely a word was spoken. It was tuie for action. whe" the pursued and their pursuers rvachtded the stone courtyard the former darted towards the Orleans side of the ga:llery and erouched down beside the cells. ~Their f:.ces blanched, and being un.armed they were absolutely defence less. In fear and trembling they scre amed for mercy, but the avengers were mereiless. Ban Lg! b:ug batig! rang out the re ports of the inurderous weapons, and a deadly rain of bullets poured into the crouehing tigures. Gerachi, the closest man, was struck in the back of the head and his body pitched forward and lay immovable on the pavement. Itomiero fell to his knees with his face inl his hands, and in that position was shot to death. Monastro aid Jamies Caruso fell together under the fire of a half dozen guns, leaden pellets en tering their bodies and heads and the blood gushing from the wounds. The bloody executioners did their work well, and beneath the cintinuing fire Cometez and Trehine, two of the men who had not been tried, but who were charged jointly with the other accused, fell to gether. Their bodies were literally riddled with buckshot and thiey were stone dead almost before the fusilade was over. When a group of the assassins was discovered on the gallery, MacheCca, Seaftedi, and an old man named Mar chesi, separated from the other six atnid ran upstairs. Thither a half dozen men followed, and as the terror-stricken assassins ran into the cels they were slain. Jo Macll( eca, who was charged with being tbe arch conspirator, was a short, fat man, and was summarily dealt with. He had his back turned when the shot struck him immediately behind the ear and his death was instantaneous. There was no blood from the wound, aud1when his body was found the ear was swollen so as to hide the wounid, which the coroner had ditliculty in lo cating. Seatl'di, one of the most villanous of the assassins dropped like a log when the bullet hit him in the eye. Old man Marchesi was the only one, who was not killed otitright. He was struck on the top of the head and though he was mortally wounded he lingered all the evening. Polltez, the crazy man, was locked tIu) in a cell upstairs. The doors were flung open and one of the avengers, taking aim, shot hinm through the body. agnetto was caught int the fir-st rush up the stairs and the first volley of bullets pierced his brain. He was pulled out by a niiumber of stalwart men through the inain entrance to the pri so, and from the limb of a tree his body w*as suspended, although life was already gone. Just as soon as the bloodyV work was done, Parkerson addressed the crowd and asked them to (disperse. This they consented to do with a ringing shout. but first they male a rush forP~arker. On, and lifted him bodily, supported hiim on their shoulders while they imarched up the street. Te avengers came back in a body to the Clay statue and then departed. An innnense crowd rusbed from all direc tions to the neigh borhood of the tragedy wvhile the streets in front of the news paer oflices were blocked with p)eople anxious to see the latest bulletins. O'Malley, the detective, who would have shared the same fate of the assas sns if he had1 been caught, has dis appeard and is not expected to return, and the miemnbers of the jury are in hiding. The 1 talian consul declined to say to niglt what action, if any, he will take. Te prison was surrounded until dark with a motley multitude, but the police found no dlificulty in maintaining good order. Tihe bodies of somie of the slain were removed this evening.
