RAILROAD MEETING.

A respectable number of the stockholders and
bondholders of the Greenyille and Columbia Rail-
road Company assembled in the Court House on
Saturday last, at IL o'clock, a. m, for the pupose
OF consulting as to their interests in the present
condition of the Company's financial affare. After
8 consultation amcng the gentlemen present, reso-
ntions were adopted looking to future arrange
ments, and committee appointed to further the
object of these resolutions. Messrs. ]. W. HARRr-
SON. J. ". NoEn1s, jr., and B. F. WHITNEn con-

dressing the whites, advised them to register and
vote for 4, Convention as it was folly and madness
to attempt to defeat that object. There were co.
900 negro voters against $4,000 white, and as the
Convention would look to the interest of the black
man, it could not be expected that one of them
would vote against it. He then admonished the
freedmen that they must be industrious and save
their money, and reminded them that if they at
tempt oppression of the whites now while in the
majority, it might be visited upon them in the fu-
ture, when the balance of power would be differ
ent, as no negroes were to be brought to this
country. He disabused their minds of the idea
that they would obtain lands from the Government,
and showed that this was not even desirable upon
their part. Tho Governor presented every phase
of the issues before the people, with great force
and ability, and to the satisfaction Of his hearers
We regret that fuller notes of his speech are not at
our command.
The regularly invited speakers having concluded
it was requested That ]. P. N. EpPINc ofChareston
be allowed to occupy the stand. That gentleman
made short speech, endorsing for the most part
the speech of Gov. Orr, but advised the blacks 10
adhere to the Republican party, and recommended
10 them the Uuion League. He favored high taxes
upon land, but told the negroes they were to have
no lands given to them. He aamonlshed tnen
against conflict of races, declaring thai they
would find 80 2Ooo, 900 whites against 100000 OF
blacks. and that the conflict would be short, and
result in their determination.
Wilson Cook, OF Greenvlle, and Elias Canady, OF
this village, both freedmen, also made speeches
We learn that Cook told the negroes they were to
hare no lands given to them, and that confiscation
would work to the detriment of their race. 1t
woald be the means of inaugurating war Of races,
and in that event, he would not live in the State,
though he was given thousand acres of land
From all that wc can learn, the speakers in
dulged in plain talk without exception. Indeed,
we are assured that the discussion was Of that
character to allow no room for doubt as to the
opinions of both white and colored and We trust
that the Impressions made will be deep and lasting,
especially in regard to the result of those extreme
measures referred to by every Of the speakers.

The NEGRO VoTE AS A BALANCE OF Pow.
ER.-The Radicals, seeing the swelling
torrent Of public sentiment rising against
their negro supremacy policy, begin to
sing small. One of their organs III this
city had a labored article yesterday, ap-
pea!iog pathetically to the public 10 be
half of the 6 poor negro.' 1t asks. "shall
four millions of our c~ountrymen be hence,
forth serts and outcasts in the land OF
their birth with their descendants through
all generations ?" It calls this :. the main
questionable great question remaining
to be solved by the judgement and votes
OF the American people" Now this is
the merest balderdash and elaptrap non
sense.
The writer knows very well, if he has
any sense, Nat the four millions of bis
colored countrymen are neither serfs nor
outcasts, and never can be again. They
are on peifect equality with the whites as
regards their civil rights and before the
law. If a portion of them should be
excluded from certain political privileges
for a time and FOR great public reasons,
that would be nothing o than what
happens to many white people in this
republic and land of equal rights. All
this talk about the negroes being serfs
and outeasts is supreme nonsense, and is
made for the purpose Of binding the
American people to the real object of the
Radicals. No, there is no fear of the
negro not having their rights and that
is not the real question. The object OF
the Radicals is to make the negro vote the
balance of power in our political system
and government.
A small party sometimes holds the
balance, as We often see in both State
and general elections. The four millions
of blacks 10 the South may become the
ruling power of the Republic through
holding that balance. We ses already
how demoralized and extreme the Repub.
lican party has become il its efforts to
get the Negro vote. What will not that
party or any other party do to gain pow
er through the negro vote, ifthat a give
it? In fact we are now in danger OF
having this great Republic governed By
the negroes and in the interests of ne
groes. This is the main question re,
ally at issue, and all the preteBce about
negro rights is all sheer humbag.-N. Y.

TIE FEVER IS AMONG Us.-In common
with most Of our citizens, we thought We
would have been spared an epidemic this
year. To an extent those anticipations
have been dispelled, not that the disease
originated here, but four fatal cases have
declared themselves this week. On
Wednesday I'd inst, Miss Ella McKahill,
aged 20 years, a native Of Louisville, Ky,
died Of yellow fever ; the same day, Har.
rison P. Berthelot. aged % months, son o.
DR.. Berthelot, of New Orleans, died oil
the same disease, and on Thursday, Sd
inst, Mrs. Ellen McKahill, aged So years,
a native Of T~ipperary, Ireland, succumb.
ed to the same fearful visitor. The two
ladies were recently from New Orleans
where, no doubt, they became infected
with the contagion, which developed it
self upon the change of air. These deaths
occurred at the residence of John c. Ber-
thelot, Esq, with whose family, we be.
lieve, the deceased were connected j
On Wednesday "a, Mr.. Emile Muse.
organ builder, No. 4S Christie street, New
York, who was on a visit to our parish
on business, and intending to extend his
tour to Galveston, Texas, died of yellow
fever at the residence Of Chas. Rivault,
Esq. He reached here, if correctly ID.
formed, on Sunday last from St. Louis, and
IN Wednesday he was numbered with the
dead. Mr.. Muse was formerly a mem
Der Of the 7th Louisiana Regiment. He
received every attention and comfort that
could be bestowed upon him during bis
illness.
Our citizens should be on the alert and
prepared in the event they should e
seized with this terrible scourge.

TIE LEvEE CosvgNr1oN.-We copy as
follows from the Thibodaux Sentinel, OF
the 18th inst
The Convention met IN the Courthouse
on the 25th inst, upon the call OF the
President, W. ". Pugh. At half past IL
O'Clock, the chairman took bis neat, when
II. S. Goode was appointed secretary -
president having stated the object OF the
con yention, the meeting was ably al
dressed by Messrs. Gibson, Minor, Nc
ICollum, Goode, Bush and others, giving
their views as to the best and most feas-
ible plan of building the levees on the
river. The session continued some three
hours, and adjourned to meet in New
Orleans in December if not summoned
earlier by the president.
But three parishes were represented /:
Assumption, Lafourehe 4 Terrebonne.
One fact was very evident that no one
entertained much confidence in the belief
that the broken levees between Plaque
mine aud Red River will be rebuilt the
present season, and that all who are
liable to overflow west of the Lafourche
must take prompt measures to protect
themselves. The bonds appropriated by
the State for the purpose Of rebuilding
the levees cannot be sold, or, at least, are
not yet disposed of, and the work shoald
be far advanced already in order to give
the levees time to settle aud become 6rm

waters when they do come. This is a
bad prospect bat II is nevertheless a true

The ELEcr1oN.--T agony is over and
sambo has had his first taste OF the
4 greatest boon on earth" as Beast But
Ter calls the right of voting. The negroes
turned ont very well to their duty, but
their vote falls short some two hundred
We cannot we'll account for this, beyond
the fact that they feared some trick about
it when they saw no white men voting.
Quite o number refused to vote, alleging as
a reason they knew nothing about what
they were to vote for and were satisfied
with things as they are a very lntelil-
gent negro gave as his reasons for not
voting, that be saw " no home folks " take
part in it, and he knew nothing about the
strange white men who come here ma K
ing speeches and telling them what they
should do. It is but fair, however, to say
that the most perfect order prevailed
throughout the parish during the two
days Of voting, not having heard Of a
single case Of turbulence. Not having
been favored with the returns from the
different precincts, We can only give the
aggregate which amounts $50, of which
CTS were for convention, and 4 against it.
Cooley, Bonnefoi and Mahier received
each SIG votes. Five white men immor
talised themselves by voting, We hope
they will be happy now and hereafter.
