The Negroes in Washington.
The Picayune says, editorially:

Ihe negroes seem to be cOnstitut-
ing themselves as great public nui-
sance In Washington city Us in Rich
mond. The Constitutional Union, of
Monday, says: s'The institution Of
the Freedmen's Bureau was a great
thing for the country, especially for
the nlgger. We do not know ex-
actlv where the headquarters of this
costly piece of furniture is located,
but Judging from our senses OF see
ing, hearing and smelling, one of the
d'dwea-s thereof must have a local
habitation in the upper part of the
Sixth Ward, We happen to reside
in that ward at present, and speak
from painful experience. Night after
night, when all decent and honest
persons are endeavoring to court the
precarious (in these hot nights) favors
of Morpheus, We have been kept
awake, and praying for the disturb
ers of our rest, by the stentorian elo-
qucnce Of an ebony divine, who holds
forth to an interested and odoriferous
audience in q negro church. about
block from our residence. The yells
and shouts that issue from the con
gregation naturally suggests the idea
Of a pandemonium Of demons, rather
than Christian Church When the
services are concluded, drove Of the
black bruddern and sisters take pos
session of the neighboring streets, and
their incessant gable and idiotic
laughter convey u very forcible idea
Of the noise of a vast drove of mon
keys or ourang- outangs Wo to the
unfortunate wight (white) who hap
pens to be belated and meets the
gang. He is jostled out of the way,
laughed and jeered Mt, and if he es-
cape whole in body and purse, he
may be truly grateful. Saturday
night, prayer-meeting-or we would
more truthfully describe it Us fetish
orgie-was held in a shanty in the
neighborhood alluded to, and the
groans and cries of the sable fanatics
broke the quiet of the night unt;l
long past the hour OF midnight.
How long will public decency CONT
nue. to be insulted, and the public
good set at naught, by the pets of
Thad. Stevens Il Co? How long
will our people submit to their insult
ferable insolence? Ii the strong arm
of the law cannot deal efficiently with
this African plague, we care not how
soon vigilance committee may take
the matter in hand, and with n stout
rope and convenient tree or lamp
post, rid the community of some thou
sands Of these pests.
