New Orleans deserves statue for his loyalty and
courage, it is Max Nihoul. He il was that stcrdly
and nobly stood up for his rights of property and
citizenship, when wealthy corporations iguobly
yielded 10 the pressure OF circumstances. The
ieeroes reached his locality about IL O'Clock.
They numbered upwards of hundred. They
were as rayenous around his store as pack of
Siberian wolves around the sleigh of q lone, be-
nighed traveller. Their cries were: ." Kill the
white son of b-h:" burn him up In his
house;n "let's get at him, and cut him to
pieces etc. These expressions were made in
discriminatory in French and English. white
servant woman, who sleeps in Nihouls garrett,
hearing the noise arose, lighted candle, and open
ed the dorm er wiz dow. Several shots were fred at
her the moment she put her head out, the coura.
geous darkies taking her for Mr.. Nihoul. She
withdrew and blew out the light, whereupon they
attempted to break down the doors.
These, however, were proof against their efforts
and no damage was effected. IL the negroes had
succeeded in making an entrance into NihouPs
store it would have been lamentabe day for
them. Many more than one would have died In
their detestabe and unlawful invasion.
Yet, after all these outrages, the Radical paper
throws the blame upon the Democrats. The people
of New Orleans are getting tired Of the repeated
outrsges. They do not lay the responsibility upon
the deuded colored people. And We wish our
colored population TO look around them, during
the preparation of similar occurrences, and see
what becomes Of the carpet.bsggers and the
scslawags. The colored people are left to bear
the brunt of the fray, whilst their Northern
friends and her Southern delujers are posting In
sste for places of security, in cabs and on horse
back. Pnchback, himself, who Is said to possess
q good deal of courage, acknowledged yesterday,
we understand, that he had horse ready sadded
/ to be of and away on when the fight became too
close.
The Republican newspaper, last night, was
closed at IL. The only light about the premises
was q dim one in the rear suite of apartments
The Republican. however, is an evening Journal,
and editors, ETC., were probably not needed on
duty at that late hour.
We think all fear of further riotious proceed
ings is grOundless. The negroes we're most as
suTedly panic stricken last evening. Our reporter
heard fully sixty pistol shots fred by them during
an interim Of fifteen minutes, Tuesday night. be-
tween 10 and IL. The only persons they had to
shoot at were the police and an unarmed club OF
Democrats. The only person killed was an old
negro man, who was quietly looking at a distance
which be considered safe, on the same street a.
Radical headquarters No. u, ard the State House.
They fred IN the air aud around them, without aim
or other apparent design than the wish to give
themselves courage with great noise.
Canal street and the streets leading into that
great thoroughfaye were strewn with the lanterns
and transparencies of the " Warmoth Guards"
the Grant Rangers y and other |" bully organ
izations. The first pistol shot did the business.
The moment the shot was fred, the crowd was
pack of sheep-s pack of sheep without leader
running heller SHELTER, climbing fences and walls
diving into doorwsys and lodging around cor
ners.
riot, hereafter, between the races of white
men and black men is impossible. We repeat it /:
impossible.
