As providsd in the charter of this institution, no

already been subscribed, ten per cent on the same
is now due; likewise, the same will be required on
aii subsequent subscriptions at the time of sub
scribing. No second installment will be dne until
over if 200,000 are subscribed, when there will be
dne notice given for a general meeting of stock
holders, to participate in an election for officers,
and, moreover, to discuss and settle such questi
as may be suggested by any of the members. In
the meantime, there shall tie no accumulation of
expenses. Several lots for building upon are al
ready secured; but operations must, of necessity, be
on! y to a limited extent , until the greater part qf the
capital stock is subscribed, during which time,
however, stockholders only cau be accommodated,
and outsiders not until there shall be snrplnB
funds, or until the want* of the stockholders are
provided for. Consequently, itltehooves all who
contemplate or desire the advantages and facili

of one or more shares while the opportunity offers.

profits in building, and the interest on same, se
cured by unquestionable collaterals, and the in

THE LOUISIANA CONVENTION.
The quarrel between two factions in the
Republican ranks in Louisiana seems to
grow in intensity, and, if reports can be
credited, not without some reason. It ap
pears that a State convention was called
for a certain day, but no place of meeting
was specified. Just previous to,convening
it was announced that the courthouse room
in the Customhouse would lie occupied.
One Packard, Marshal of the State, had the
audacity to surround 'the building with
United States troops, and the faction with
which he acted had the still more insuffer
able effrontery to allow no one to pass into
the room without a pass from themselves,
settling the point that the hearer was a re
gularly elected delegate! Of course, the op
jwsite faction, on that plan, -had not the
ghost of a chance for fair play. Warmoth,
the present Governor, with some eighty odd
delegates, undertook to enter the conven
tion "room. but was thrust nut with the
bayonets of the soldiers, and was not even
allowed to speak to his associates from the
steps. He withdrew with his followers, aud
held a separate convention. Meanwhile the
other side fixed up a set of .delegates to suit
themselves, and went on with their pro
gramme very harmoniously. This is about
the substance of the affair, and to speak of
it as merely disgraceful would do injustice
to the proceedings.
It is such an infamous case as never be
fore happened on this continent, and such
an example should l>e made of the partici
pants that it should be the last one. The
marshal who called for troops to take pos
session of a peaceful political convention,
and the military officers who obeyed such a
call, knowing the purpose, should be sum
manly discharged the service. This is the
least punishment that so gross an offense
calls for. We take, it for granted that no
man in his senses will pay the least atten
tion to the Customhouse convention, or any
of its doings. Its action can bind no one. *
From the Columbia - South Carolina) Union. |
THE LOUISIANA MUDDLE.
The recent action of the United States
officials in New Orleans, in attempting to
control the action of the Republican State
Convention, which met in that city a lew
days since, calls for the most severe condem
nation. Not that we indorse the action of
Governor Warmoth and the faction which
supports him in his efforts to secure a re
nomination, for we abominate the one as.
much as we abhor the other; but we do de
mand, in the name of a tree people, the
right to meet peaceably in open convention,
and deliberate upon questions which eon
cern the entire body politic.
Marshal Packard', with his body of United
States troops, may have thought he was act
ing the part of pru<lenee in attempting to
prevent a disturbance which he and others
like him think was imminent, but we sub
mit that something else than idle threats by
interested politicians were required before
he was justified in calling' to his aid the
strong arm of the military to prevent an
apprehended trouble. Better have .waned
till tlie outbreak occurred than to have in
fringed upon the rights and privileges of a
single individual.
While we do not dispute the right to call
upon ihe military to protect the citizen-in
his right to the ballot, we deny the right of
any political party to use the military as a
means of furthering tbeir particular inter
ests. Only when the interests of the body
politic are in jeopardy is there any justifica
tion for the use of tire military. ' Sueli'was
not the case in the late New Orleans con
vention. It was nothing more or less than
a partisan meeting, called for the sole pur
pose of manipulating party affairs. If one
wing or faction of a party fears it js not
the
fair open warfare, it has no shadow of
right to call to its aid the power of the
federal administration. Here is where the
opponents of Warmoth exhibited their
weakness. They should have met in open
convention, and trusted to the good sense
of the people to sustain them in their oppo
sition to the selfish ambition oi one man.
The military should only be used in tbe
interests of law and order. We can con
ceive of a case where it might lie necessary
to take such steps as were taken at New
Orleans to prevent an outbreak, where the
results might be disastrous, not only to a
party, but to whole communities. Such a
case was recently presented in the election
at Charleston, where the military was called
into service to preserve the peace against
any outbreak from whichever party it
might come. This we believe was perfectly
justifiable, and we do not thiDk any well
disposed man could find fault with the ac
tion taken in that case.
The New Orleans trouble was not only
not such a case as tbe one just, quoted, but
one diametrically opposite. It was a fac
tional fight, and one in which the public
had not a particle of interest. The Presi
dent should not permit federal officers to
thus abuse their power. The military being
subordinate to the civil power, of course
the officer, in command at New Orleans
could do no less than obey the requisition
of Marshal Packard, and send troops
wherever they wire deemed necessary, but
the marshal should be taught a wBolesome
lesson at once, and that is that he can not
use the powers at his command to perpet
uate the existence of any party taction,
whatever that party may be.
We have no sympathy with either party
in this contest.* It is a disgrace! ul struggle
on the one- side to perpetuate a love of
power to a class of men whom the people do
not trust, and on the other side it is a strife
to control State politics by a class of men
whose only interest appears to be to hold
the offices which they now possess. This
has been the great trouble with Southern
politics. A few men, when elected, or ap
pointed to United States positions, presume
to dictate to whole States the policy they
must pursue. These men forget that all the
power, or prominence they possess, is due
to, and is derived from the people.
These men must, understand ihat the men
who made them all what they are, and who
elevat.pd them to the positions they uow oc
cupy, can also unmake them and hurl them
to merited obscurity. We hope aud trust
that this will be done wherever such flagrant
usurpations of |#>wer are presented as in
the recent affair at New Orleans. We are
confident that President Giaift does not,
and can not, sanction such high-handed pro
ceedings as recently took place there, under
and by authority of United States officers.
Governor Wannoth will doubtless make
the most of this blunder of his enemies, but
we protest against the blame of such pro
ceedings being charged to the Republican
party- The people intend to manage their
political affairs as shall suit them best, and
they will not be dictated to by either United
States Senators, Representatives in Con
gress, Governors, or United States marshals.
Such officers will count without their host if
they imagine for a moment that they can
shape the political affairs of their respective
States. It has been done for a few years
past, but it can not be doner any longer, and
the sooner these gentlemen learn this fact
the better it may be for them.
The national administration must under
staacUthat all the virtue and intelligence of
the party does not centre in the few gentle
men who hold United States positions,
either by election or appointment. There
is generally a small reserve fund left. As
we said before, the .United States officers of
this section assume altogether too much,
and the Louisiana case fully illustrates our
position. Let the President take measures
at onee to,put a stop to this interference by
United States officials, and he will have
done more to enhance his owu popularity
than by anything else he can do. Remove
ail officials wherever there is power to do
whenever they transcend their legiti
--------rs, or assume to themselves du
belong only to the people.

Notes About Casey.
We copy the following extract of a letter
signed ''Conway," published in the New
York 8uti of Saturday last:
Colonel James F. Casey, who has been in
New York and at Long Branch, arrived the
morning the convention was to be held.
Tbe poor man was in a great state of excite
ment. When he readied the camp in his
Customhouse edifice and saw the deputy
marshals and the troops, he smilingly re
marked, "It's all right. I am now sure that
Grant will be sustained." Turning to some
Customhouse clerks, who were detailed gfi
deputy marshals, lie said, "That's right,
boys; we must all sustain Grant." He
went up stairs, viewed what was going on,
heard that all the Cnstomhousa officers,
clerks, porters, internal revenue officers,
clerks, eto., were working faithfully, and
turning about to re-enter the street, said,
"All is for Grant, certain."
Casey went down Canal street, and heard
from parties whom he met. that the majority
of the delegates were in Turner Hall, in con
vention by themselves, and that the use of
troops and deputy marshals, as well as
forcing the .convention into the Custom
house, were matters very likely to be de
nounced by' the President, and that the peo
ple seemed to be strongly against the ac
tion of the federal officers.
This intelligence made Mr. Casey, very
angry, and he declared that "everybody
ought to go for Grant." Turning again to
ward the Customhouse, Colonel Casey
met several well known Republicans. He
buttodholed each as he drew up to the near
est laniji-post, aud said in tones of affection
and anxiety, "You are for Grant, of course."
Iu nearly every instance the reply is re
ported to have been about as follows:
have been for Grant, voted for him, wanted
him renominated; hut then my mind has a
new impulse this morning, 6iace I have seen
United States troops, deputy marshals, and
federal officials in a Customhouse building
to choke down the people and strangle the
liberty of the citizens. When Grant repu
diates the whole concern, and removes
Casey, Packard, Lowell & Co., I may still
go for him ; not otherwise."
Casey began to think all was not well,
and expressed a wish to fix things up if
possible. ,
In the afternoon before the bayonet con
vention had been in session three hours, the
impression was very general with its mem
bers that a stupendous blunder had been
committed, and so it was deemed best to
adjourn in a great hurry, not, however, till
resolutions were passed in favor of Grant.
From that day to this Mr. Casey has been
the most nervous, miserable man in New
Orleans. He walks tjie streets with down
cast lace, saying nothing except occasionally
asking one of his clerks. --Are you for
Grant ?"
While standing on the steps of the Cus
tomhouse on convention day, I noted sev
ers 1 merchants attempting to enter the
bsihling to attend to some important busi
ness. The anger of these men can well be
imagined when the deputy marshal would
ask, "Your pass, sir ?"
"I have no pass," the merchant would
say. "I wish to transact some important
business with the Customhouse."
"Don't care a-; I must have a pass
from Packard or you can't go in," would be
the explanation of the deputy marshal.
The merchant would turn away, saying to
himself, "Beautiful Customhouse officers we
have here in New Orleans. We'll see what
General Grant will say to all this thing."
How the Chivalry ot Maryland Treat the
Negroes.
JFrom the New York Tribune.]
Sir —While attending a camp meeting at
Concord, Maryland, recently, I heard of
"new way to pay debts," which.seemsVo b
quite popular among the "chh'alry" of that
State. One Howard, a colored tman, had
workeij on the farm of James Raughley,
threshing wheat. After the work was done,
Raughley postponed payment until a future
day, when he agreed to meet Howard and
other workmen at Denton, and settle with
them. The day came, but Raughley failed
to appear, so, on Monday last, Howard pro
cured a boat and, in compauy with a friend,
went to Raughley's house for a settlement.
He found him at his brother's, on an ad
joining farm, and asked payment of his bill,
but Raughley informed him that he had no
money. Howard then proposed to take his
pay in wheat, which Raughley declined,
alleging that the wheat had not been
fanned. Seeing that it was Raughley'a pur
pose to evade payment, Howard complained
that he was not treated rightly, and vent
ured the opinion that he had considered
Raughley more of a gentleman than to act
in such a way.
Of course this was too "impudent" to
be submitted to by a Maryland rebel,
especially from a "nigger," and so
Raughley went to his brother's house,
and with a bird gun attempted to kill
Howard on tbe spot. Howard and his
friend hurried to their boat, which had been
left in the rear of Raughley's dwelling. But
not satisfied, Raughley mounted his horse
and hurried home, where he took his own
gun, discharged the old load, reloaded it,
and followed the colored men to the river,
where be found them in the act of shoving
oft their boat. He called to Howard's
friend to get out of the way, as he intended
to kill the-of a -; and; suiting the
'action to the word, tired both barrels, in
flicting a serious, if not a fatal wound. My
informant says that if the poor fellow had
not fallen as the gun was tired, he would
surely have been killed. From the general
tone of the conversation on the camp
ground, yesterday, Raughley had no fear of
puifiebiuent. He is a near relative of the
Hon. Willard Saulsbury, of this State, is a
candidate for Democratic nomination for
the Legislature, and will, of course, be tried
by Democratic judges aud jury. One of his
over-zealous friends boasted, in my hearing,
that he had secured the services oft the
Hon. George W. Russum, of Denton, to de
fend him, and that with such counsel and
triends as he possessed, he need not fear the
d—d white niggers. H.

Alleged One! Treatment.
In order to ascertain the true state of
affairs with regard to barbarities alleged to.
have been committed on boys confined in
the House of Refuge, our reporter obtained
a permit from Colonel Lewis, Administrator
of Police, and accompanied by two well
known citizens, made a personal inspection
of tbe institution.
The ^ormjtory, which contains about one
hundred boys, is kept in a cleanly condition,
and is an airy. apartment. The interior
arrangements of the institution appeared to
be unexceptionable.
A report having become current that a
boy named John Burns was undergoing
harsh and unnecessary treatment, special
inquiry was made as to his case. It was
discovered that he had only been confined
to the limits of the dormitory, and fed on
bread and water. Two pounds of bread
per day were allowed him.
The boys, with few exceptions, stated
that they were Well treated, and had plenty
to eat.
EXAMINATION IN THE .MAYOR'S PARLOR.
About twelve o'clock yesterday a large
number of persons assembled in the Mayor's
parior, to witness the investigation of cer
tain charges made against Mr. Sehwind, of
having cruelly treated two boys under his
charge, as assistant superintendent of the
House of Refuge.
The examination was conducted by Ad
ministrators Lewis, Remick and Shaw.
Mr. Charles Sehwind was called to
answer, and was informed that he was
charged with having unmercifully whipped
the boys Coppel and McCormick.
The first witness was Mr. Harrison, who
is emnloyed as tinner in the House of
Refuge.
ID. Harrison stated that a boy wrote an
obscene sentence on a slate. Sehwind mane
all the boys write the same sentence, and
then decided that John Coppel was the
guilty party. Coppel was whipped, and
received two hundred and forty lashes.
His skin was whipped off a space as< large
as his two hands. He was stift from the
whipping. Next morning McCormick got
two hundred and forty lashes for having
done the same thing that Coppel was
whipped for'. The whipping was cruel and
excessive.
The boy Bogan is colored, and was
whipped every day. Mr. Sehwind kicked
and bruised the boy, and made him stand
on the railing two and three hours at a
time. The boy grew thin and emaciated,
and became most crazy. The boy was in
the House of Refuge two or three months,
and was sent to the Insane Asylum. Every
time ' the boy saw Sehwind he was fright
ened. Saw Sehwind strike the bov with
his list.
Witness has frequently Seen Sehwind
twist boys around by the head until they
became dizzy, then trip them up and throw
them down. Sehwind drilled the boys, and.
if they failed to keep step, he beat them
with baud hoops, and put them on bread
and watBr. Sehwind has been in the House
of Reluge since October last, and has
whipped the boys daily. The boy Bogan,
when he left tlie House of Refuge, was
emaciated from want of food. The bov had
a bruise on his face. They keep two straps,
one to show and the other to use. The boys
confined in the House of Refuge are from
seven to tqwuty years old. Sehwind has
always been brutal to the boys.
Dr. Hu id examined the boy McCormick
and staled that he saw eight lines on bis
back, that might have been inflicted three
months ago with a strap. Two of them
were ten ihciies long, and the rest of them
smaller. They were on the back part of
tbe thighs. It would require a deep incision
to leave a scar; such a br-iise would make
the body temporarily stiff. Such bruises
some times leave no scar on a boy.
Mr. Bowen stated that he went into ther
House of Refuge the day after some boys
had been whipped, and asked who was try
ing to kill the boys there last night? He was
answered that some boys hwdbeerf whipped;
saw a boy bruised, and remarked, that any
man who abused a boy in that way was a
brute. Orders were given that he (witness)
jhould not be admitted to the House of Re
uge. Mr. Bowen stated that the backs of
the boys looked as if they had been whipped
by bull drivers, and the flesh looked like
bruised beef; never saw boys whipped as
they were—worse than slaves twenty years
ago.
Mr. Bowen is keeper of tbe Workbsuse,
and said that after he examined the whipped
boys he was refused admission to the House
of Refuge, and was never refused before.
As keeper of the Workhouse be had under
his charge some desperate criminals, whom
be has punished, but not as severely as
these ijoys were punished.
Captain Dutinet. keeper of the Insane
Asylum, said when the boy Bogan was
brought to the asylum he was badly bruised,
and might have dose it himself in his crazy
fits.
The boy McCormick testified that he was
accused ci writing the words on the slate;
denied it, and was whipped for it. Mr.
.Sehwind gave him fifteen ajid tweuty-fivo
lashes, which was no more than he had
been whipped by bis parents. He worked
n the bakeshop at the time, and the whip
ping did not prevent him from doing his
work.
Bote, a boy. said that the boy Coppel got
seventy-five lashes. The boys get plenty
to eat. Jfbey are punished by being made
to stand bn the rails.
Mr. A. J. Johnson said he was invited to
the llouse of Reluge by Mr. Henry, the su
perintendent, Saw a boy uunished. He
was laid down on a bench ami struck fifteen
lashes with a strap an eighth of an inch
thick. This was tbi putting a pin in a posi
tion where a boy sat on it. Saw Mr. Sehwind
punish a boy by throwing him around.
Mr. Kenny, gatekeeper of the House of
Refuge, said ho saw Mr Sehwind strike the
boy- Bogan in the mouth. Witness had
Charge ot the bov. aud <ound he was easy
t* manage. Sehwind struck the boy in the
mouth with his clenched fist, and the boy
shortly after became insane. Saw Sehwind
scuffling and throwing the boy around. The
boy did not resist. By Mr. Henry's orders
the witness tied the boy on the railing.
Witness struck him lightly sometimes to
make him stand still.
The following testimony was introduced
for the defense:
August Hand, watchman of the House of
Refuge, said: Never knew Mr. Sehwind to
treat the boys cruelly. McCormick and
Coppel were not punished worse than other
boys under former administrations. He
recommended that the boy Bogan should
be strapped. Strapping had no effect on
him.
Mr. Sehwind was not in a passion. He hit
them one hundred and forty, lashes. Would
lash them a while and then stop and talk to
them. The strap was a foot and a half long,
an inch and a quarter wide, an
annp& think. The boys were
other bays, and whij
took it.

Accounts of the city and county, with a
long message from the mayor, asks from
each board a committee to examine the
vouchers upon which the accounts are
based.
The accounts cover from January, 1869,
to July, 1871. The message is bold and
defiant.
The accounts, when printed, made a sev
eral thousand page volume.
The Board of Health directs a thirty days'
quarantine -for vessels from sections where
the yellow fever anti cholera prevails.
It is reported H. T. Helmbold's business

The convention of dedegates of the United
Society of Italian Brotherhood i if America
opened to-day in Cooper Institute. The
following were present; G. F. Sweehi De
cas.nli, New York; Peter Gandor, Cincin
nati; A. B. Longinotti, Louisville; J. A.
Segnaigo, Memphis; A. P. Ohio, St. Louis;
A. Barrata, Richmond; A. Zagotnarsino,
Philadelphia; B. Constanfmi, Baltimore; A.
Zorra, Chicago; L. Arnoldi, St. Louis; F.
Gitti, Boston.' Signor Cassali, of New York,
who was president of the Chicago eonven
tion two j'ears ago, and has represented
New York twice in succession, was by unan
itu'ous consent chosen president; Peter
Gandolfi, vice president; A. R. Longinotti,
treasurer, and A. Zagomarsino secretary.
The examination of the credentials of
delegates, the examination into the espw of
the St. Louis society, which has, as alleged,
violated some rules of the brotherhood, and
the admission into the union of the Italian
Benevolent Society of Baltimore, formed
the chief business transacted at tbe first
session.
Colonel Wood' says: There is no doubt in
my inind that tbe Golden Rulewas wrecked
on purpose, 1 and the government treasure
stolen by Montgomery Gflbbs aud Captain
Dennis. Gibbs put up xhe job and led
Dennis into it. Among other things, I had
a chart of the vessel's oourse mai de, and it
is on file now, from the nme she left New
York till she struck on the reef, and it is
plain that she. was steered plump on it. Gibbs
went on board under an assumed name.
Before buying his ticket, he inquired
peatedly, at the office, if the government
money had gone on board, and, as soon
as he learned it had, took passage. It
was evident he did not intend to go unless
the money was aboard. He was playing
captain from the gue the vessel sailed
she struck. There is plenty of evidence
that point. It is also clear that after the
vessel struck the reef, Gibbs virtually tot*
command.
He and the captain set guard over the
baggage hold, where the treasure safe was,
and would not let anybody get anything
out. They had two women aboard to help
them. One was named Livingston, the name
of the other I don't remember. -8he has
since married respectably. Tommy Girvin
was put on Dennis, and the first thing
heard was that Tommy, who never had
been worth a dollar, had bought a
farm near Dennis, at EUioott's Mills, and
was importing bulls, sheep and rams. Jim
Downs and Deputy Marsha)
then put on Girvin.
