EQUAL RIGHTs.-The Shreveport News is in ia
vor of equal rights It is opposed to requiring
dogs to pay taxes without the right of suffrage
and representation. Here is what it says
The city council have lately passed law re-
quiring all dogs within the limits of the city to
contribute tax of one dollar, and in default Of
payment to be killed on sight. Is this law consis
tent with the doctrine of equality, equal laws,
equal taxation and the equality Of the races? Is
it not violation of the civil rights bill Is it not
death and taxation without representation? Had
the dogs any voice or vote il the late municipal
election? Has any bureau ever beer established
for the education and franchise of this class of
community? Is it not carrying out the identical
policy OF the Federal Congress, against which so
much has been said of late In word, will Sum
ner and Stevens sanction it, We think not. We
advocate equal laws and equal protection for life
and property for rebels, republicans freedmen
dogs and radicals.

SERIOUS AooIDEEr--We learn that Mr.. Eskridge,
assistant foreman OF The news room Of the Houston
Telegraph, fell from the third story Of the Tel
egraph Office to the ground en- Sunday night last.
He was alone at the time, and as he fell from the
back part OF The building. no one discovered him
or knew of the casualty till morning. When first
seen, it was supposed he was dead; but he stll
survives, and hopessare entertained that he will
recover. It is most miraculous how he could have
fallen SO great distance and not been instantly
killed and it would be hard to believe that it vert
So except from the fact that it is known that hi
slept 10 the third story Of the building on the nigh
Of the accident.
Mr.. Eskridge Is a New Orleans printer, and wei
known TO the craft in that city.
