showing the operations of the army
in the past year, and he was entitled
to know all, that he would not act in

General Emory is reported to have
sworn before the committee investi
gating affairs at New Orleans that
during the last summer the army was
employed in civil affairs in New Or
leans under orders emanating direct
ly from the Attorney General of the
United States. If that was so, he.
(lleek) desired the fact to ap
pear from the official documents,
so that articles of impeachment
might bo prepared against the Attor
ney General. If General Emory’s
statement is shown to be correct, we
should reach out for the Department

| Special to tin Time# by tie- H. & A. Lire.]
Nkw Youk, Jan. 5. Referring to
the proceedings at New Orleans yes
terday, tin- Hernld says there was wit
nessed in the Louisiana Slate House
yesterday, a spectacle which is the
first of its kind in this country, and
w-hieh should cause any true Aincri-
I can to blush with shame and indig
nation. We congratulate Ihe citizens
of Louisiana, and t in- people of the
country, that this extraordinary
and most startling scene did not
provoke violence and blood shed. A
forcible resistance would have been
| justifiable in this ease if it be ever
| justifiable in any ease. A greater
outrage on every principle of free
government was never penetrated.
Were it not for the fact that the peo
ple of Louisiana have a sure resource
for tin- redress of their grievances in
the sense of justice of tic- whole
country and in public resentment,
which will )>e kindled to the highest
pitch by these atrocities and unex
ampled proceedings.
The Tribune says nothing in histo
ry, not of even the great conspiracy
by which border ruffians undertook
to seize the territory and State of
Kansas, can furnish any parallel for
the crowning iniquity, the Federal
adaptation. Tho citizens of Louisi
ana have seen themselves cheated
and defrauded, and when the fraud
came near to failure they have seen
the whole power of the general gov
ernment, used to consummate it
and make viliany successful. They
make no outcry but upon facts as
they are ; they invoke the deliberate
judgment of tiie American people.
The HoWd says we hope there is no
American man who can read the
news from New Orleans without a
thrill of shame, and rage.
The Times expresses no opinion
upon the merits the ease.

Tale of a Sack. The London
Graphic says; “Monte. Christo’s es
cape from the sack in which he was
tiling into the sea from the Chateau
d’lf lias been imitated by an in
genious Persian. Having incurred
tin- ilispieasiiri* of a high functionary
at Shiraz, Mohammed Mirza was con
demned to be fastened up in a sack
with a viper, a cock and a cat, and
after art hour’s time, when this happy
family had improved their acquain
tance, the sack and its contents were
to In- thrown into the river. Fortu
nately for Mohammed Mirza, his ex
ecutioners forgot to search his pock
ets, which contained a small knife.
Directly the mouth of the sack was
closed upon hint and his companions
lie cut, in half the viper, which was
already encircling his leg; the cock
and the cat were next dispatched, and
our Persian occupied tire remainder
of his hour simulating a violent fight
of the three animals, and giving forth
the most excruciating erics of agony.
In due time sack and all were con
signed to the water, and then Mo
hammed Mirza, speedily freeing him
self from the prison, gamed tho other
side of the river, and came post-haste
to Europe, for the future a voluntary
exile from his fatherland.”
Reasons Why. Admiral Semmes,
in his lecture recently in Augusta,
gave several reasons why sailors call
ed a ship in the feminine gender, the
following being tiie three principal
ones ; 1, Because, a vessel always
looks best when it is freshly painted ;
2, There is nothing prettier when in
stays; 3, It never goes abroad with
out bringing home the news.
AN OLD Wim MTOIIY.
THE F4TE OF AN Oil) MERCHANT -HIS
NEPHEWS HAW HIS HEAD OFF.
From the Levant HeraM.J
A singular trial for murder has
taken place at Mlssivria, and lias en
ded in the acquittal of the prisoners
two brothers, who were licensed of
the murder of their uncle, a rich old
Odessa merchant.
The old man, having retired from
active life and wound up his business,
returned from Odessa some years ago
and settled down in Missivria, his na
tive town. Here he gave much in
charity to the poor, and behaved
handsomely to Ills nephews, with
whom he lived, and Whom he helped
out of poverty into a respectable po
sition in local trade. Three years ago
the old man suddenly disappeared.
No serious inquiry, however, was
made to ascertain what had become
of him. llis nephews made liberal
donations to tiie churches, and in
herited, or rather appropriated, the
old man’s wealth. Probably they
would have been left entirely undis
turbed in tho enjoyment of their
riches but for a eireu instance which,
fora time, must have caused them
some trouble and anxiety.
On a certain day, in tiie early part
of this year, an old woman asked for
an audience with the cadi, and, on
being admitted, made a deposition as
follows: “It was a dark, stormy
night,” the old woman said. “Tiie
wind had several times blown in my
window-sash, putting out my lamp,
and causing the embers of my lire to
fly about the room. Suddenly, amid
tho howling of the storm, I heard a
shriek, then a moan. Strange sounds
followed, which seemed to come from
the house of my neighbor, tiie Odessa
merchant. 1 ' crossed myself, and
drank a little raki to keep up my
courage, and thou I remembered that
there was a crack in the wall of my
closet , through which I could see into
the house of my neighbor, (he mer
chant. Thither I went, and applied
my eye to the crevice in the mud
wall, and this is what 1 saw :
“Two men were pressing down a
pillow upon t.lio face of anot her mini,
whom they kept prostrate, and a
woman was holding a light. The old
man I recognized him -was very
strong, for he overthrew His nephews,
although his throat was cut and blood
gushed from the wound. He would
have escaped, but the woman struck
him in the face with a chair. His
head was bent backward, as though
he could not keep it in its place on
account of the gusli across his throat.
Stillhjs eyes flashed life; lie staggered
toward the window; but there lie was
again struck down by his nephews.
Then they sawed away at his throat
, till the head was separated, I'min the
trunk.”
The accuser went, onto say that she
threatened the murderers with a dis
closure of the crime which she hud
witnessed, but that, they promised
her “hush-moneythat, as she was
poor, she agreed, in consideration
thereof, to hold her tongue, and that
! she washed the blood from the floor of
I the room where the old man had
I been put to death. Tin- “hush
money,” however, had not been paid,
and, lis she was starving, she deter
i mined to make known her story. The
j story w'as made known in March or
April, but no proceedings were taken
| until August. The accused parties
were then arrested and confined in
Zaptieh, “Oda.” Tho old woman,
j too, was put in prison, and was
flogged and half smothered between
mattrasses night after night, until
the trial ended, and the persons
whom the vox populi still stigmatize
[ as murderers were declared innocent.

his child’s treachery, he was struck
with the greatest dismay. His oath
was binding upon hint to put imme

spoken to the prisoner. But she con
fessed her love for him, and pleaded
piteously for her young life. The
captive also, to whom the. Governor
was much attached,.joined his prayers
to hers, and iinjilored that they

then the secret would bo safe. The
Governor was not stern enough to
immolate his child, and perhaps ii
gleam of ambition may have Hashed
across his mind, as in the event of
the death of Louis XIV., the prison

iiis daughter sit on the throne of

were performed by the priest of the

Improved Power Press!
For Steam or Water Power.
FINDLAYS' IMPROVED POWER PRESS, for
steam or water power, possesses rare advantages
und conveniences. Screw pin is ten feet long;
gearing heavy and strong, uml instead of tho
doubtful and dangerous “clutch” arrangement,
tight and loose pulleys with “shippers” are used,
thus insuring safety, certainty und proruptnOßH of
action. This press will be supplied with our new
patent Conical Rollers, a most valuable improve
ment, for the purpose of receiving the “end
thrust," and very materially lessening the fric
tion. This Press was also triumphant at the lust
