FROM NEW ORLEANS.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 12.-Informa-
tion from Brenham, Texas, states that
at that place, on the night of the
7th, there were two balls, one of ne
groes and one of whites. A party of
Federal soldiers went to the negro
ball and broke it up. They then went
to the white ball and offered some dis
turbance, and being asked to leave,
one of them knocked down one of the
managers. Pistols were shortly after
wards brought into use, and two SOL
diers were wounded. This broke up
the ball but in the night some sol
diers broke into the. store of Cromp-
ton & Bro, and shortly after they
left, fire was discovered, which con-
sumed that and six others of the
largest stores in town Loss, $85, 900.
Col Mason, the commanding officer
at Galveston, has gone up to Brenham
to examine into the matter.
A dispatch from Houston says, re-
garding the same affair, that Federal
soldiers attempting to enter the
dancing school with negro wenches as
partners, at Brenham, were resisted
and one of their number was killed.

/ The benefit Il derived from DR..
Hunters treatment induces me to
make public statement of my case,
believing that may thereby confer a
blessing upon many who are suffering
as 1 did, by pointing out a means of
obtaining relief. In September, 1865,
I consulted DIR. H., who had lately
arrived in Cincinnati from New York
City. / had previously submitted my
case to several of the most prominent
physicians of our city, but received
no benefit and little encouragement
from them. When / consulted DIR.
Hunter, I was suffering from severe
pain in my chest, hectic fever, night
sweats, hurried breathing, and profuse
purrulent expectoration. ! had had
several attacks Of bleeding from the
lungs, and was much emaciated; IN
fact, my symptoms indicated too
plainly that I had Consumption,
which was the opinion entertained by
| both myself and friends. Soon after
placing myself under DR.. Hunters
Il
care, my most distressing symptoms
gradually abated, my appetite return
ed and in few months | had in
creased twenty pounds in flesh, and
| I am now enjoying the best of health.
/ attribute my restoration to DR..
Hunters skill and attention, and
take much pleasure in recommending

have taken the last step towards military
despotism, unless we are checked by another
revolution, beginning at the North, which will
sweep the radicals out of power and restore the
old constitution. Against this revolution Mr..
Phillips proposes to guard by frightening the
Northern people with the cry of "repudation."
He claims that if the South comes back into the
Union without negro representatives her Con-
gressmen will Immediately proceed to repu-
diate the national debt. Whether or not the
people are to be scared into acquiescence by
this bugbear time must decide; but if they are

The FREEpMEN's BUREAU AND ITs WORKINGS
We published yesterday note from General
Howard. Commissioner of the Frccdmen's Bu-
reau. in which he states, in reference TO an
article in the HERALD on the subject Of the
Bureau. that certain officers he names "are
men who have for years sustained the highest
character for integrity" We have nothing at
ALI TO do in this matter with any particular
officer Of the Freedmcn's Bureau. They all
NAV be men Of integrity. and we hope they
are: for IL is necessary they should possess
some personal reputation in order TO relieve
the whole concern Of its odious features.
The chief officers are not to blame for the
miserable workings Of this enormous charity
machine. The fault lies both in the charac-
ter Of the institution itself and in the
sordid operations Of subordinate Officers.
Il is, in fhct simply an institution for
the re-enslavement of the colorcd popula-
ton OF the South, and is doing more
harm TO them than the old institution Of
slavery. It encourages idleness and vice
among negroes and places power In the hands
of interruptions persons to sell the labor and
the bodies of ignorant blacks to the highest
bidder. The colored people themselves do not

Even Wendell Phillips will have nothing TO do
with him when such candidate as Grant is
in reserve. Nor does Congress find any greater
favor at the hands Of this radical leader Mr..
Phillips thinks that the great fault of Congress
is regard for prccedcn,s. He is opposed to
precedents. He believes in negro suffrage pro-
tected by a standing army. "The national
sword must never be sheathed." Congress,
too. is composed Of towards. "Tbey dare not
utter their opinions" Congress discusses what
is constitutional. Mr.. Phillips and his followers
"hate the word constitutional" The mes
sage which they send to Congress is,
III you can safely remain in session
be in session forever This may seem rather
inconsistent, but lite meaning is plain. Let
Congress remain in session and force the rad.
cal programme upon the South "by the exer-
else Of whatever dcspotism:" for I'VE have
conquered the South, and have . right to
trample II under our heels.r
The real reconstruction policy Of the radical
leaders Is now plain to the whole country.
That policy is: universal amnesty m exchange
for negro suffrage; negro representation and
negro equality the bargain TO be forced upon
the South ct the point Of the bayonet, under
the war power, and Congress to remain In
perpetual session until the bargain II consum-
mated. The name Of General Grant ~ our

a short season at Farrar Hall, some two montbs
since. The wife of Mr.. Buchanan, who is
not an actress, accompanied them, but owing
to delicate health, scarce ever left her room. A
few nights ago Mr.. Buchanan and his daugh.
ter were announced for Hamlet" at Terre
Haute. Mrs. Buchanan was at the same time
lying very dangerously i'll at the Terre Haute
House, of neuralgia,Of the heart. After the
first scene, it was announced that Miss B.
would not be able to appear as " Ophelia," on
account Of her mothers illness, and if the
play went on, ber part would have to be omit
ted. The audience desired the drama to pro-
ceed, but when Mr.. Buchanan appeared and
commenced the soliloquy, "TO be or not to
be-" he was noticed to lack his usual fire and
energy. He had not proceeded half dozen
lines, when his faltering voice broke, aud fall
ing into to a chair, he exclaimed "My
wife is dying-take your money-run down

DR.. LErHEBY, in his report to the City
Commissioner Of Sewers, states the following
characters by which good and bad meat may
be distinguished Good meat is neither of
pale pinkish color nor of deep purple tint.
The former is indicative of disease, and the
latter a sign that the animal has died from
natural causes. Good meat has also mar
bled appearance from the ramifcatious of lit
tie veins of intercellular fat and the fat es-
peceially of. the internal organs, is hard and
suety, and is never wet; whereas that of dis
eased meat is soft and watery, often like jelly
or sodden parchment Again, the touch or
feel Of healthy meat is firm and elastic, and it
hardly moistens the fingers; whereas that Of
diseased meat is. soft and wet; in fact, it is
often so wet that serum runs from it, and then
it is technically called wet. Good meat has
but little odOr, and this is not disdgreeable !;
whereas diseased meat smells faint and cadav
erous, and it often has the odor of medicine. G.
This is best observed by cutting it and smell
ing the knife, or by pouring little warm
wIter upon it. Go)d meat will bear cookir 6
without losing very much in weight but bad
meat sbrives up, and it often boils to peices.
