New YORK, October 24.-The Tri-
bune's New Orleans special of the 23d
inst, says outrsges and murders are in
creasing throughout the State. Last
night mob of disguised men broke into
the Jail at Carrollton and killed two

says no one can blame them.
AT large fire at Gretna last night, a
disturbance occurred, in which three
blacks were killed and several wounded,
aud the rest fed to Algiers and the

and sent company of infantry to
assis. the one hundred policemen, who
were there, in preserving peace.
The EUening Times says the long i'm
pending conflict seems fairly COM

two additional regiments. At 9 o'clock,
an armed mob of 400 men had ordered
the Metropolitan Police to leave Gretna.

In MASSACHUSETTS every Democratic
argument is pearl thrown before swine.
The swine turn up their Puritan noses
and snuff and defy them as the coming
wind. To be Democrat in Massachu-
settsis so out of fashion as to be shame
and disgrace. To honest men it must
be like being in penitentiary to live 10
that State. The whites of their pbara-
saical eyes turn up while they strut by
the honest, hard-fsted Democracy. A
Democratic Southern gentleman of our
acquaintance having some recent bust
ness there was treated with little I'm.
usual respect, but only on the ground
that, coming from among rebels and bar
bariaus, not much was to be expected
from him. The Puritans profess to be-
lieye in hell, but it is for other folks
not for their righteous selves.

BY which not only lower rates are obtained, but
