NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 23, IST4.
We are again to baye Light rains aud warmer
weather. Probs does not seem to care for us,
after sending so much rain and refusing to
stop. _
Messrs. Kain A Co , 130 Canal street, send
ns the latest copies of Harper's Weekly, Frank
Leslie's Illustrated, and New York Herald.
- The smallest dew drop that resta on a lily
leaf at night holds in itself the image oi a
shining star ; and in the most hnmble, insig
nificant person, the good and tme can always
be found.
Staub, from his cheap news stand, No. 69
Canal street, sends us a full list of the very
latest Northern and Western papers, and the
July number of the Atlantic Monthly. Staub
has plenty more where these came from.
We had the pleasure of meeting Major W.
B. Spencer, of Concordia parish,, who is pass
ing through this city with his family, on his
way across the lake. We wish him a pleasant
summer.
The elder Booth had an appreciation of
liquor which amounted to devoti on. He went
to a pawnbroker's i-hop one night when out
of funds and pawned himself to "My Uncle '
for a glass of whisky, and actually sat in the
window, among old pistols, opera-glasses
flutes, and fiddles, until some of his friends
redeemed him.
A decision has been given by the referee
against the Maine Central Railroad, in favor
of a passenger for injuries suffered at the
hands of a drunken fellow passenger. It is
held that not to exclude from the cars per.
sons so drunk as to be noisy and quarrelsome
is negligence which will make the railroad
company responsible for damages.
The calm philosophy with which the Camp
street hybrid views the outrage perpetrated
against its neighbor, is only equalled by the
Chesterfieldian style in which it delicately al
ludes to the doings of its proteges who com
mitted it A cynical French writer once re
marked that there was always something
pleasing to every man in the misfortunes of
his best friend, and to that rule we are afraid
our gay and festive neighbor, with somewhat
Mormonic proclivities, is no exception.
New- Books.— Messrs. Kain A Co., book
sellers and stationers, No. 130 Canal street
send os the following new publica'ions: " The
Vicissitudes of Bessie Fairfax," by Holme
Lee; Forter A Carter, Philadelphia. "Lulu's
Novel," from the German of Eiise Polks;
Loring, Boston. " No Alternative," by Annie
Thomas; "Valentine, the Countess," by Carl
Detlef, translated by M. S. ; Porter A Coates,
Philadelphia.
Here is what happened to a lady in San
Francisco, as described by a paper of that
city: " She kicked with both feet as high as a
ballet star, gave the peculiar, shrill, feminine
■cream, sat down, said * Oh my,' smoothed
down her disordered attire, looked around
wildly, rose quickly, shook herself to see if
anything was loose, gave a withering glance at
the place where she had fallen, and, with all
the spare blood she had in her face, went on
with her shopping."
Speaking of the search for fine voices Olive
Logan says: "The Strakosch brothers and
their agents attend divine service in churches
of every denomination, on the lockout for
promising vocalists; they visit theatres and
meeting rooms where public speaking is going
on, with ears sharpened to detect musical pos
sibibilties in a speaking organ whose owner
has not suspected them; they haunt low sing
ing halls, where beer is sold and tobacco
smoked, ready, if a voice is found, to trans
port it to the Italian opera, or cultivate it at
their own expense until it is fit to warble the
world of music-lovers to its feet."
As the character and affiliations of the Times
are thoroughly known in this community, we
do not feel called upqn to comment upon its
ambiguously worded remarks on the outrage
perpetrated against us by the police, and its
semi-apologetic strictures upon the course of
the highway robbers who forcibly took pos
session of our forms on Saturday night
The blow aimed at the Bulletin is one
which may, at any time, fall upon every other
paper not sold to the unscrupulous individuals
now' in power by the grace of Federal bayo
nets. The Times, as every one knows, is be"
youd any such contingency—hence its croco.
dile tears, and scarcely concealed ohuckling
over the outrage.
Now that Badger's police have given evi
dence of their daring in the midnight cap
ture, by force of arms, of a wheelbarrow con
taining the forms of our paper, it
is to be hoped they will devote
their energies to the arrest of negro
drivers who run their floats at full speed in
broad daylight in our most crowded thorough
fares. The fact that the latest victim of this
tolerated violation of the city ordinances was
the daughter of a Democratic journalist may,
perhaps, go far to palliate the criminality of
the sable Jehus who are thus allowed to
indulge their racing propensities, but it is
barely possible that, should such a case again
happen, the byslanders will feel bound to take
the law into their own hands, and to ornament
the nearest lamp-post with the dangling car
cas of one of Badger's pets.
Mr. George Ellis, the popular newsdealer,
opposite the Post Office, has our thanks for
the latest Northern and Western papers. Mr.
Ellis has always on hand the latest and best
illustrated papers, periodicals, magazines and
novels. He has sent us Harper's Weekly and
Leslie's Illustrated.

In the matt« of the prayip f<
by Albert Baldwin, Èsq., to compel Treasurer
Dubuclet to turn over to him the funds of the
State, on the ground that he had been elected
Fiscal Agent by the Board of Liquidation
created by the Fnnding Act, Judge Hawkins
Saturday rendered a decision in favor of the
Treasurer.
Our readers are aware that Jos. H. Oglesby,
Esq., was duly elected Fiscal Agent of the
State under a previous act, and that he has
filled the position greatly to his own and Mr.
Kellogg's satisfaction for nearly two years.
They are, perhaps, not aware, however, that a
section was adroitly smuggled in the Funding
Act, which it is claimed gave the Board of
Liquidators the right to elect a new Fiscal
Agent of the State. Neither can they be ex
pected to know all the heartburnings and
jealousies to which that little section have
given rise in circles which are nearest to the
usurper.
The efforts made by Mr. Oglesby to be
elected under the new law were simply ex
hausting, but resulted in failure, notwith
standing the de facto made as many promises
as usual, and, as usual, went back upon them
all, and Mr. Oglesby woke up one morning to
find Mr. Baldwin claiming to be not only
Fiscal Agent so far as concerned the funding
of the Slate debt, but Fiscal Agent in the
fullest and most comprehensive sense of the
term.
Of course he protested, and of course Mr.
Dubuclet refused to deposit in Mr. Baldwin's
bank, because Clinton, Dubuclet 's bitterest
enemy, is said to have been the arch conspira
tor who fixed up the little trick on Oglesby.
Clinton's animosity to Oglesby arose, it is.be
liéved, from the fact that during the excite
ment last year, the Fiscal Agent was not dis
posed to meet the extraordinary demands of
the Auditor, and gave him bo little trouble in
the execution of his illegal and high-handed
measures.
It is a pretty squabble as it stands, but the
belief is that the Baldwin faction will win in
the long run. If the Funding Bill be constitu
tional, we incline to the opinion that Mr.
Baldwin will be the Fiscal Agent.
SYMPATHETIC—VERY !
Balam's ass has spoken ! In its most orac
ular tone and manner, that "immovably
neutral " animal declares that " the seizure of
the forms of our Gravier street neighbor is a
circumstance which requires some further ex
planation."
The hybrid concern of Camp street does
not view what it euphoniously styles "the
transaction" in the ' 'light of an outrage on the
American people, " but after clearing its friend
Houlihan, "of any improper devices," it
simply treats the midnight robbery instigated
by him as something "peculiar," a little par
donable eccentricity on the part of Houlihan,
Flanagan, Badger A Co., calling "for inquiry
if not reproof."
Break Neck Speed. —Every morning a
"newspaper train," driven at the highest
speed kn >wn on that line, leaves New York for
the cities southward of it. Such are the dan
gers of the journey, that we are told the en
gineer, fireman and others employed on the
train, have signed a special paper, declaring
that they will not hold the company responsi
ble in damages in case of disaster. Some time
ago a carriage was run into and the train nar
rowly escaped a smash up. Now we are tojd
that a passenger car has recently been attached
to it, so that other lives besides the employees
may be placed in peril.
We describe this train in order to explain
an item we find iu the New York papers,
which states that on Monday it left Jersey
City a half hour behind time, and made the
time up before reaching Trenton. That is, the
train, whose schedule time is the fastest on
the road, on Monday, when running outside
the schedule, was driven at the breakneck
speed of 57 miles in 49 minutes. Nor was
this speed of a mile a minute the fastest rate.
Near New Brunswick five miles of road was
run in 3 à minutes, or at the rate of eighty-six
miles an hour.
A
An assault, in which eggs were treely used,
calls forth the following appeal from a Mis
souri writer : " Give us back the palmy days
of the inquisition, or the foul fires of witch
craft lifting their black columns to the sky ;
but let the low principle of such midnight
cliques, in whose breast is lurking in embryo
the feelings of a highwayman, like the putrid
yeast of death, that often spreads throughout
the physician's frame and reduces it to a liv
ing skeleton, be banished from the nation
over whose domain the star of empire now
trembles in its last revolution in the historic
heavens.''
Cochise, the Chief of the Apache tribe
who died recently, was the best hater of the
white man in the country. Latterly he be
came insane. By his death the Apaches are
without a leader, and we may therefore hope
for an end of (he troubles in Arizona and
Texas.
As there ig an unfinished Washington monu
ment in the capital of the United States, so,
by an odd coincidence, there is also an un
finished Wellington monument in the capital
of England. "The Iron Duke" died nearly
twenty-two years ago, and found a resting
place in the crypt of St. Paul's cathedral, near
the spot where the remains of Nelson are de
posited. Parliament voted a large sum to be
expended on a Wellington monument Most
of tbe money has been paid in advance to a
sculptor who contracted to do the work, and
bas left it undone—scarcely even begun. At
Washington, on tbe other hand, the extent of
the incompleteness is visible to everybody.
[Phil. Press.
It is said that the steadiest and worst of all
Congressional annoyances is the unreasoning
applicant for a lady clerkship, and who is told
forty times over that there are no vacancies.
A Pennsylvania Congressman has one general
proposition for these feminine pests: " First
select the position you most desire, " he whis
pers, seriously, to the applicant; "then kill
the woman holding it, and I'll get you into
the vacancy." They usually eogitate.
Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, says a woman
has no more right to vote than a horse. It is
a wonder that this high toned and refined
getleman did not make the figure go on all
tours by saying a mars instead of a hone. It
would have added so much form and point to
hm illustration. The wonttMufiragists com
S lain that they are regarded beasts of bar
en, and the honorable Senator from Con
necticut seems to agree with them.—[Graphic.

A CARD
a
give beloir that caffi of
ir, denying lufi^pAtmipatMfr
rage perpetrated on the B«jll*tut last Satur
day night. In another column will be found
a card from Judge McArthur, First Police
Magistrate, to the same effect
Between the two, we are at a loss to know
upon whom the culpability now rests. How
the police can act without a warrant from a
court, and how subordinates can be detailed
to duty without an order from their superiors,
we can not understand. If police officers can
stop property belonging to a newspaper on
the street seize it and by force of arms carry
jt away—all without color of law and without
responsibility resting upon anyone's shoul
ders—then the people ought to know that we
are in a state of anarchy, and that they must
rely upon themselves.
If Gen. Badger and Judge McArthur neith
er are responsible, who is ? Is the Bulletin
to be knocked about like a ahuttleoock— fun
for the players, but death to the interests of
our people ?
It is time that those in charge of the pro
tection of our property began to appreciate
the fact that there are such things as private
rights, and that they must be respected.
We are not yet reduced to political pauper
ism, and so long as there is a strong arm left,
we are satisfied such outrages will not be
permitted. Let the police beware. We
would let the public know that no matter
what may be the petty devices of the enemy
the Bulletin will be found firm and un
sparing in its battle against the horde prey
ing upon the lives, property and liberties
of our State.
Editor New Orlean Bulletin:
Dear Sir — Seeing in last evening's Bulletin
my name used in connection with the deten
tion of certain type claimed by Mr. Houlihan,
together with the forms of the Bulletin, I
simply desire to state that I declined to fur
nish police to secure the property in question
without a warrant Mr. Houlihan expressed
a determination to make an affidavit before a
magistrate. I then gave him the following
note, which explains itself :
"Col. Flanagan:
Please furnish Mr. Houlihan two men in
citizens' clothes to execute a warrant from
Judge McAulhur's Court
Yours, A. 8. Badges, Supt"

A KELLOGG MAN AS AN IMITATION
INDEPENDENT.
New Obleans, June 22, 1874.
Editor Bulletin:
Dear Sir —The attempt by independent Kel
logg man in the Times to hide himself in the
lion's skin, is betrayed by his well known
voice, not to mention the ears ; and although
he is probably better known in the Custom
house than in the Ninth Ward, there is suffi
cient known by the independent Democracy
to recognize in him a disturber and political
counterfeit
The real issne is the people of Louisiana
against the Radical party; against midnight
judgments; against bankrupt corporations,
extortions and frauds; against internal revenue
rascalities and outrages;,against a suborned
and apologetic press; against jury packers,
foot-pads, and would-be assassins.
How, then, in this great struggle can the
people strike allying hands with the em
ployees, solicitors, or tools of the detested
usurpation ?
The independent Kellogg man,
He raved and ranted sore,
But his ears and his braying
Showed he hadn't learned to roar.
Respectfully, Nous Verrons,
It seems odd that as stationary and digni
fied an ob 'act as Bunker Hill Monument
should owe its completion to the fact that
Fanny ElLsler's nimble legs danced funds for
that purpose into the Treasury of Tremont
Theatre, Boston. But for her it is possible
that the monument would never have been
completed. At the close of the performance
Fanny was vociferously called before the cur
tain and made the following characteristic lit
tle speech : " Ladies and gentlemen—Hence
forward two monnments shall awise together—
one of gratitude in my heart, the other gwan
ite on Bunker Hill.
A South Carolina correspondent of the New
York Times has compiled a list of the officials
of that State indicted or convicted of crime
daring the past few months. The total is
thirty-two, and includes the Governor, three
county Treasurers, two county sheriffs, twenty
four county commissioners, one school com
missioner, and one police justice. These
were State officers ; but one Congressman, K.
H. Cain, has also been arraigned in the courts
for larceny.
An Amebican Cardinal. —The Enquirer,
of Cincinnati, agrees with the St. Louis Re
publican that , "as the United States must be
considerek as among the great powers of the
world, and its Catholic people numerous,
wealthy and intelligent, the honor of the
Cardinal's hat, it is thought, will no longer be
withheld." The Republican adds that " the
two prelates most notably conspicuous in
learning and piety and in influence at the
Vatican are Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati,
and Archbishop Perche, of New Orleans.
HOW THB URKAT DERBY RACE AP
PEARED FRO» THE HILL
[London Correspondence New York Tribune.
To see the Derby from the Hill is reckoned
one of Hie very best places. We saw it from
the Hill, and I will describe what we saw* A
lane of brownish-green turf between two solid
walls of men and women, and carriages. The
view on the left closed by the stands rising
black against the sky. The nearest part of
the browuish-green lane is an eighth of a mile
from us. When it has been wholly cleared, a
scattering troop of horsey go dancing, walk
ing, plunging up the lane, ridden by small
human beings in silk jackets of various bril
liant colors. They go nearly up. to Totten
ham Comer, then galop back past the stand
stringing along as they like. They disap
pear to the left. We wait five minutes,
hardly more—not a horse in sight ; and a
curious hush has come over the throng. Sud
denly a great roar, beginning far off and com
ing towards us; till it ends in an articulate
cry, "they're off." Two minutes of pale sus
pense, the race invisible to any mortal on the
Hill. Then another swelling shout, " They're
coming." Bound Tottenham Comer shoot
into view in a second the glancing hues of the
jockey's silk jackets, then you see the horses
ander them; then, in a flash, five, well to
gether, leading, the others tailing off, the
whole twenty-one passing. Right opposite ns
the five horses seem suddenly to stand Btill,
one of the five, ridden by a boy in scarlet and
black, . comes out from among them two
lengths, the boy sitting down in his saddle
ana not lifting a finger. There is not the
stroke at tbe whip on the finit horse se they
raeh on Mat the stand, bttl the others can't
come ajpr him, and in tffifi ' seconds more

unity. It
contains words of troth and warning that can
not be disregarded save at our peril. No
obsefring man can feil to see that the negroes
are determined to role this State, by force if
necessary. They are all organized and armed,
while the whites are frittering away the pre
cious time quarreling about old party issues
that should long since have been buried, while
a large majority of those most deeply inter
ested stand aloof, fold their arms and do noth
ing. Perhaps when they are driven to the
necessity of defending the honor of their
families, to say nothing of their property,
they will realize, when too late, they had a
vital interest in the present condition of
affairs.
I am well aware of all the difficulties attend
ing so sadden and violent a change in all our
domestic relations; no one can be more so,
but it is a sacrifice we owe to the safety of our
families and our honor as men. Nearly every
one employing a negro will tell yon, Oh! Î
have a good faithful negro that I cannot do
without, I am one of those old fogies myself ;
I have two that it will be hard with me to
part from, having been accustomed to them
all my life. I imagine with the other old fogies
I cannot do without them, but I am now
convinced they will soon do without us unless
we are up and doing for ourselves at once.
The ladies will be the principal sufferers for a
time, but my word for it they will do their
whole duty cheerfully.
Blanc having said all that can be said to
show the necessity of the move he advocates,
will offer a plan to inaugurate it. It should
begin in this city, as it is impossible for the
rural districts to adopt it at once, and here it
must be a combined moiement to have the
effect intended. I would suggest a call for a
mass meeting of bankers, insurance presidents,
factors, grocers, dry good merchants, boss
draymen, mechanics, heads of families, and
all who employ negroes and let them pledge
themselves each to the other, not to employ a
negro under any circumstances, not even to
clean oar boots. This seems a hard measure
and will fall hard on a few good negroes, but
it ia a matter of life and death, yea more»
honor to us.
They, the negroes, good and bad, have ar
rayed themselves against ns. Let them abide
the consequences. They all vote the Repub
lican ticket, without knowing or caring who
are the candidates. They dare not do other
wise if they would. The adoption of this
measure would at once give employment to
thousands of honest, hard-working white
men and w omen, our natural allies and de
fenders, who are now without employ
ment, in consequence of negroes filling places
they should have. Failing in this move, I
would respectfully suggest that the working
men hold a mas3 meeting, and let those who
prefer employing the enemies of our race to
those who are the same race and blood, know in
language that cannot be misunderstood, that
when the dark hour comes, and come it .will
at no distant day, when their brave earts and
strong arms will be needed to protect them
from negro aggression, that they can expect
no sympathy from the men whose families
were made to suffer that negroes might live
in idleness and occupy all the comfortable
situations for working men and women in the
city. It is unjust it there was no other reason,
to see the number of white men and women
in need, while our streets are filled with fat,
hearty negroes, who spend most of their time
talking politics, supported by a situation
many a worthy white man would be glad to
have.
I write plainly and eameatly, for I know the
danger is imminent. We are sleeping on a vol
cano, and unless our people are aroused from
their apathy at once, it will be too late. Even
now I would not be surprised to hear threats
made against carrying out the measure I advo
cate, but if with the loss of our other rights
we have lost the right to choose our own em
ployees, the sooner we know it the better.
