WATER-One Of our city contemporaries
proposes to get over the argument against the
present site of the slaughter houses that they
defle the water received into the supply
: pipe of the Water Works, by removing the
pipe to some point above the slaughter
houses. Is it certain that even this would
prove certain guarantee that customers of
the Water Works would not be furnished with
"ox-tail soup" or a weaker solution of de-
composed animal matter, instead of the pure
and simple element which is clamored for?
We think not, since the pipe would still suck
its water below hundreds of slaughter houses
along the Mississippi and its tributa-
ries. We have no doubt that the OBJ
lection on this score is greatly exagger-
lated. But if it is to prevail, and water
is 20 be brought from beyond the limits of
the city, why not guarantee its purity by
;extending conduit to the highlands and
; bringing supply from the Tangipahoa or
ssome other hmped stream? No machinery
would be necessary. The hydraulic pressure
}would raise the water to the third story of a
New Orleans house. Devoting this supply 10
household use, the water now furnished by
she Water Work could be used exclusively for
quitting out fires aid washing the streets.

BLOODY TRAGEDY IN ARKANsAs.-The Arka.
delphia (AIk.) Standard Of the Goth nit. says
report reached this place. a few days since.
mat bloody tragedy occurred at Lewisvlle, La.
fsyeie county, Ark, one day last week, resulting
IN the death of seven negroes and five white men
The circumstances of the case, as we understood
them, were substantially as follows: A negro
man had committed horrid outrage upon little
white girl about thirteen years old, and the citi-
zens executed summary punishment upon him by
hanging. brother OF the negro went to town
aitef the execution and behaved himself 10 a very
insulting and rlotous manner, and using threats
against those who had hung his brother. The
people OF the place, after bearing his insults for
some time, hung him also. The ne groes then of
the town and neiRhborhOOd collected together 10
the number Of some forty or fifty and made a
general attack upon the town, which was met by
the citizens with the above result. These are the
iscts as far as we could learn them, having heard
nothing OF the details the names of the persons
Killed. We hope this may be mere rumor, or
al all events, that the affair has been grestly ex.
aggersted. We regret any acts of violence on
the part OF the white people of the South when
tney can possibly be avoided, especially in the
present excited state of the public mind, bat IL
the facts as related to ia be correct we acouit
the white people Of any blame in the premises
Tor there Is no punishment adequate to the dread.

the public safety will not admit of such cases
being left 10 the claws delay,n nor its quirks
snd qnib0les Toe only way to deal with such
cases, whether WhiCe or black is by the most
summary course possible.

SENSATION IN TIRE TEMPLE-MOInilg service
interrupted Oy StOlc6T OF rocks ia the pulpit.
One of the most objectionable ouTages that a
grsceess young rowdy could be guilty of, was
perpetrated yesterday morning by a boy on Sixth
street, named Sealf While the morning service
was progressing in the Jewish temple, Adath
Israel, corner OF Broadway and Sixth, and Just as
the Rev. B. H.. G0tthelf was pronouncing a hymn
for the choir, the congregation was startled by a
crashing OF glass at the Of the building and
piece Of rock thrown from the street came hurt
ling down, striking the platform of the pulpit
within two feet OF the minister. This was quickly
followed by another, which. however, fell harm-
lessly alter scattering about a quantity of the
stained glass from the right hand window which il
had gathered IN its swift passage. The first piece
OF rock thrown completely demolished the beam
uful representation of the All-seeng Eve which
was painted upon the circular glass above the
windows, ana over which appropriate inscriptions
were placed.
The greatest excitement prevailed among the
congregation, but the minister, paving no atten.
ton whatever 20 the extraordinary occurrence.

gentlemen. who fastened out to prevent. if pos.
slbie, any further demonstrations of the kind On
reaching the street they found young Sealf in Gus.
tody OF an officer, and learned that he was the
himself by throwing pieces Of rock at the back Of
the building, which had unfortunately found their
way through the stained glass and interrupted the
services inside.
The officer quietly marched him off, and he was
held to bail for his appearance tomorrow. Il
was said the father Of the boy stood up for him
stOutly, and threatened TO shoot the first man who
should attempt TO arrest him. Louisville Courier

STEP BAcKwARD.-The House yesterday
reversed its action of Monday by which it
decreed his seat to Maurice, the defeated COM
petitor of Mr.. Borge, from the eighth district.
! new election is ordered. The debate on the
itIotion to reconsider was long and fierce, be-
Sg entirely among the Republican men,
lsrs-some eounseling moderation and Just
ice, and others urging devotion to party inter
eats at all hazards. In the discussion, Lott,
u,e colored member from Rapides, said that
ii the will of a majority was necessary to the
haldins of his seat by any representative,
the Republicans had no right to theirs, as,
said he, "the majority of the people of the
State are to-day Democrats" But tn nod
crate Republicans triumphed. 1t was best for
the interests Of their party that they should.

ANOTHER MURDBR.-The Louisville Courier of

Greasing Wagons.

Bnt few people are aware that they do wag-
ons snd carriages more injury by greasing too
plentifully than in any other way. A well
made wheel will endure common wear from
ten to twenty-five years, if care is taken to use
the right kind and proper amount of grease
but if this matter is not attended 10, they will
be used up in five or six years. Lard should
never be used on wagon, for it will penetrate
the hub and work its way out around the ten

Fred. Douglass to his People

In a late speech at Akron, Ohio, Fred Doug
lass. addressing the colored people, told them
that the government emancipated the negroes
as a matter of policy, and not from any Chris
tan motive of right or justice, and that they
had no more reason to be thankful to the gov
eminent for their freedom than had the Hebrews
to feel thankful To Pharoah for their deliverance
from bondage. Douglass said that although it
was possible that, naturally, the colored men
were equal to the whites, they were not so
practically, and that they must rise through
their own exertions to a much higher degree of
intelligence before being allowed all the rights
and privileges of the white man. lie added
that they were now on probation, and if fi-
teen years hence found them as they now are,
it would be almost impossible for them to
make any advancement. Perhaps this advice
from an intelligent colored man may be received
by his race as the counsel Of a friend 1t IS
certain that the competition against which
they will have to contend for the means Of
support must increase by immigration every
year, whilst they can rely on no such addition
to their numbers, but must make mp for the
inequality by increased efficiency. The igno-
rant and degraded of whatever color must al
ways be subject to superior intelligence, and it
behoOves the colored people to reflect whether
those are their true friends who would plunge
them into politics without previous preparation
and training, or those who would help to fit
them, as far as may be accomplished, for the
discharge hereafter of such duties as may de-
volve upon them.-Bah. Sun.
