A New Feature.

The fourth Of July 1866, in Shreveport, was eele-
brted by the practical eucdaton of the ranscenant
beauties of the civil rights BILL expoHnded by the
radical majority in congress. Towards the close Of
that day the quiet Of the city disturbed, and its
sense of decency shocked by the novel spectacle OF
carriage load of dusky damseis paradng the Streets
with captain Calvin h. Haskell, Co. b., S0th I. 5.
colored infantry as cavalier seEvente The programme
we suppose arranged at the place short distance
from The city, at which the day had been observed
with the festivities peculiar to that historical occasion
The pageant flashed for time through the less tre-
quented streets and emboldened, perhaps, by the
IMMUNITY with which the demonstration was received,
eliminated On our thoFoughfare, Texas street At a
popular establishment on that street at which wines
and other palatabe drinks dispensed, the carriage
halted. and a swarthy Hebe (surnamed Dinah) was dis
patched by the thirsty captain for a bottle Of wine
Failing in her Grand the captain determined to Try
what virtue there was in hte face but bis failure
was no less signal than that of his cmissary, and in
stead of wine he obtained plentiful supply Of kicks
and curses BY this time the disgust of the bystand
ers had warmed into Indignation and the carriage wa:
assaed BIZ showers Of paving stones, which, making
the place rather too warm for comfort, caused IL
hasty and undignifed evacuation. The captain was
carried to his quarters bleeding and crestfallen Or
learning the condition Of things, squad Of cooreC
soldiers, under high pressure Of excitement, hurried
to Tie scene Of action without orders irom their com
handing officers, and charged and flourshed thei
muskets extensively. Whether they we're aroused b,
the treatment the captain received, were inspires
by desire to yindicate the civil rights bill, hay,
Had no means Of ascertaning at any rate they excr
cised the privileges Of tile musket with high hand
There vas 10 powder burned, and we are gratiae'
that there was net. Some trouble was anticipate
chat night as likely to grow oat of tie action Of tn
colorcd soldiers, but it passed of quietly, and there
no prospect IF a renewal Of the closing scenes 9
that day.
The conduct of Capt Haskell has been condemnc
by Gen, Midget, the commandant Of the pos
as well as by all the officers whose opinion Of Ii
transaction has come to our ears; and such conden
nation argues sense of dccency and prophet,
which, in heightened gentleman will assert itself
all times and under all circumstances.
The subject involved bears some political value b;
it is deprecated by the circumstances which hay
eliminated it, We cannot forfeit, however, the o.
portunity to record the suppression that all the chor
of all the radicals will fail to establish social equaIit
between the races both north and south.

Srs-F or Abrams IN GERytNY-The German mid
die States are rapidly armng and modifying, and theiG
different representative bodies cheeriuy grant the
expenses asked for military purposesin certain cases
even vote unlimited credits. Some Of them naturally
have tendency towards the northern others towards
the southern great German power; but all seem to be
agreed that the power which fires the first shot is tc
be guilty of all the German blood that will be shed
ia the war LOpia{on Nationdle goes so tar as t
assert that the middle States have determined TO turf
their forces altogether against that power popular
meeting attended by more than 5000 persons wa
held at 0beringeheim, Mayence, on the 4th, al
which four resolutions passed, denouncing civil
war amongst Germans; demanding a national parlia
ment for all Germany; asserting the right of the con
federation to settle the question OF the Duces anc
protesting cnergetically against any foreign nerer
encc in the settlement OF the internal affairs Of tht
Fatherland.
The Europe mentions that on the lst of June
body Of Bavarian troops, infantry and artillery, lef
Munich, and that the regiment Of guards is under
orders to march The destination Of these troops ha,
been kept profound secret. The officers themselves
are only made acquainted with the next station tC
which they are gong bat the direction in which they
are moving is northwest. The new levy comprises
Sc coo men. The 16 infantry regiments at the dspo
sal Of the king are to be reinforced to bring II
the strength to 1882 men. Eight regiments Of ohas
seurs twelve of cavalry and four of artillery, have
already been mobilised. Orders have already beer
issued to the Landwehr to hold themselves If readi
ness to replace in garrison service troops that vii
leave their quarters next week.
For more than week the crowd Of laborers out d
work in Berlin have been increasing. They ever
threaten in different parts of the city, to assume
rather dangerous proportions. Some hundreds q
workmen, evidently representing several thousand,
said to have gathered outside the city sought gain
admission into the town ball. ard had to be dispersed
by the workmen duty there. Rumor cetainy- ex
agefates the facts IN all such matters and sometimes
not a little; but it be doubted for a moment
that the want of wotk is daily increasing and that the
number of those elamoring for something to do anC
something to eat, is consequence also increasing a
rather alarming rate. These facts, connected witt
the threatening aspect of political matters had veri
marked influence on Change, and even Prassian GOV
ernmeut securities fell rather considerably.

REPLY OF THE REVENUE COMMISSIONER.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Washington, June ~ 1866
Gentcmen-In reply to yours Of tile 9th inst, to
the secretary of the treasury and which has been re-
ferred to this Office FOR answer, relative to thirty-
three bales of cotton shipped in bond to New Orleans,
which was entirely destroyed by fire. en- route forthat
port and upon which the shipper has nevertheless paid
the tax, have to say, that by the terms Of the law in
force the tax accrues upon cotton Wherever removed
and the privilege Of paying the after its arrival
at some designated point does imply tat govern
ment assumes any risk of loss by accident or the ee-
ments while in transit. The payment of tax is only
held in allegiance until such time as the cotton cah be
brought to place where funds can be realized from
its pledge or sale for payment and removals Of this
class OF merchandise being only by virtue of re:yula
tons, must not be confounded with those of spirits
and tobacco where special provision is made by law
and where the tax does not until withdrawn ol
consumption or sale.
The party TO the bond in this case, il therefore
liable to the collector holding bis transportation bonds
notwithstanding the destruction of tie c8tton. As
the extension of time granted for bis sole benefit
government must decline to assume anJ risk of sans
portaton. Very respectfully,
