The green book on the New Orleans lynching comprises iw outy-four dispatches, dated from March 11th to April wih It shows that the Italian government from the commencement persevered iu asking that criminal proceedings be takeu againsttlm lynchers and that indemnity indem-nity be paid to the families of the victims. vic-tims. The expression "brought to jus- lice," recurs in the ollicial dispatches, as well as in ParonFava's private letters. Thu priiuipal communications have a'ready been published. After Hlitine'a note of April 14, the volume conclude, with a telegram from Marquis di Kudini to Marquis Imperiali, the text of which is as follows: "1 have now before me the note addressed to you by Secretary Hlaiuo April 14. Its perusal produces the ruol painful impression upon me. 1 will not stop to lay stress upon the lack of coniormity with diplotnatio usages displayed1 in. making use, as a"t"' Hlaine did not hesitate to do, of a portion por-tion of a telegram of wine communis -eating to hitr. in strict confidence, iu " order to get rid of a question clearly dc lined in our ollicial documents which alone possess d plonialic value. Nor will I mop to point out reference in this telegram to mine of March 24, that tlm words 'punishment of the guilty' in the brevity of telegraphic lauguago actually signified omy that prosecution ought to be commenced in order that the individuals recognized as guilty should not escape punishment. "Far above all tho astute argument remains the fact that henceforward the federal government declares itself conscious con-scious of what we have constantly asked, and yet it does not graut our legitimate demands. Blaino is right w lieu he makes payment of indemnity to families of the victims dependent upon proof of a violation of treaty, but we shrink from thiukiug lhat he considers con-siders lhat tha fact of such violation still needs proof. Italian subjects acquitted ac-quitted by American juries were massacred mas-sacred iu the prisons of a state without measures taken to defend t hem. What oliier proof dots the federal government govern-ment expect of vii lation of a treaty wherein tiie constant protection and security of tho subjects of the contract-inu contract-inu uarties is exuressiv simulated? "We have placed on evidence that we have uever asked anything else but the opening of regular proceedings. In regard to this, Baron l ava's first note, dated March 15th, contained even the formula of a teiegram addressed on tho same day by Blaine, under order of President Harrison, to the governor of Louisiana. Now, however, in his note of April 14th, Blaine is silent on the subject which is for us tho main point of controversy. We aro under the gad necessity of concluding that what to every oihe government would appear to bo an accomplishment of strict civil duty is impossible to the federal gov-ernmetitj gov-ernmetitj "It is time to break off this fruitless controversy.

Let tho federal government reflet t upon its side if it is expedient to leave to tho mercv of each state of the union, irresponsible to foreign for-eign countries, tha efficiency of treaties pledging its faith aud honor to other nations. "The present dispatch is addressed to you exclusively, not to tho federal government. gov-ernment. Your duties henceforward are solely restricted to dealiug wita current business." |
