The Investigator Returns.

New Orleans, Aug. 9.—Marquis Camillo de Romano has left for Washington. He was sent as envoy extraordinary from the Italian embassy there to investigate the lynching of the five Italians at Tallulah. Marquis Romano goes back with many papers and statements. He took considerable evidence in Vicksburg as to the citizenship of the five men, and according to his evidence they were all Italian subjects. When he visited Gov. Foster, however, and found in the executive mansion the court documents from Madison parish showing when and where the three Di Fatta brothers were naturalized and had taken oath of allegiance to the United States, the Marquis was not so sure about his evidence gathered in Vicksburg. The report of the special envoy and that of Gov. Foster clash at nearly every point.
