cousin respectively, and other friends will
lie permuted to visit nun. ,M. Lonstnus
minister of the interior, ha uiveii orders
that he be treated with distinction. I' In
monarchist mtniliers of the chamber ol
deputies have decided to iuterH'llatv lis
its reason for iinprisoniiu; the duke.
1 Me Kcpulilique 1'raucaise in comnicut
inK on the arrest of the duke, points otn
that the expulsion law imposes a penalty
ol from two to five vears' imprisonniea't
upon the head or direct heirot any taniili
that ha reigned iu France who violates
its provisions. The I'aix and Jotirualilcs
Deliats thinks that the best policv ol the
government is to have the duki it;niii
conducted to the frontier. At n nieetinu
if the cabinet to-day it was deeided tn
strictly enforce the provisions of expul
sion against the young duke.
I he duke was taken bctoie thetrtbuaal
of the Seine to-dav where he wascharged
with tt tl.iL'rant violation ot the law ban-
ishinj; Irom France pretenders to tin
throne. In rcplv to the charge he said hi
came to France to )crlorm nis mililan
duties, lie asked lor an ndournmcnl oi
the ease in order to allow him to instruct
his counsel. The court thereupon ad
journcd the hearing until Wednesday
next. At the conclusion of the judicial
inquiry M. Constans' will reply to tin
monarchist interpellation in the chamhei
it deputies. lie will state that the gov
ernment mcrelv executed the law. tin
provisions ol which are precise. He will
explain to the chamber that article 4 oi
the law ot exile enacts that no memoci
I the Orleans family shall enter tin
army. It does not mention the gradt
from which thev are debarred, nntl the
ibiaet will therefore not admit theargtt
mem of the duke that he could join tin
amy as a private.

head, nf Greensboro, who was counsel
for Lije Moore, on his trial at ttieetis
Horn, came to Raleigh yesterday at the
request of a lurge number of the most
prominent people of Greensboro, to make
another effort to induce Gov. Fowle to
commute the sentence of .Moore. It
seems that there is strong ground tor n
commutation. Mooie was convicted on
purely circumstantial evidence, und we
learn l lint it has recently developed thai
some ol this evidence was ot n very tin
reliable character. Moreover, the negro
woman who wnsmiirdered wasn woman
of the worst character who ever cursed
any community. We nre informed that
there is strong sentiment among a large

I he Governor w ould lx-entirely justified
in coinmuiing the sentence.
