SEPTEMBER REGATTA.

Thursday next, the 18th, the annual sailing
match for the challenge cup offered by the
Crescent City Yacht Club, is to take place.
This cup can be won only by boat belonging
to a member or to members of the club; but
at the same time and over the same course,
prizes free to competition by all other boats,
will be offered, viz: 500, SIS and $50 for
winners of first, second and third classes re.
spectively.
The second day-Friday, the 1Sth-the fol-
lowing purses Will be offered for competition
First class, $50; second class, 500; third
class, SIS.
In addition to the foregoing, sweepstake
is proposed-S25 subscription, to be run
shortly afterward, to which the citizens of
New Orleans will contribute purse of s15O-
provided three or more yachts are entered
entrance money to go to the second yacht.
Should the subscription exceed the purse, the
larger amount to go to the winning yacht.
The c. c. Yacht Club are determined the
people of New Orleans shall have plenty of
opportunity to enjoy this manifest and most
invigorating of all sports. The club will spare
neither money nor labor in inspiring our citi-
zens with taste for aquatic pastimes. and
there is every reason to hope that in a very
short time the number, beauty and swiftness
of these beautiful sea-birds will equal the good
old ante-bellum times, when money was plen-
tiful and people had opportunity and zest for
pleasurable excitement As autumn ap-
proaches, the breezes are sure to increase in
strength and steadiness, so that there can
scarcely be doubt of :" wet sheets and flow
ing seas" on the 18th and 18th of September.
The ladies may rest assured that every at
tention shall be paid to their comfort, and the
best places for seeing the race reserved for
their special accommodation.
Our nautical brethren of Mobile, and of the
pleasant watering places along the coast are
cordially invited to come over and engage in
fair and friendly contest Mobile bore off
all the honors at our last meeting, and nobly
and magnanimously did she wear them. The
Mobile yschtsmen behaved with so much
modesty and forbearance on that occasion
that with us defeat was robbed of nearly all
its sting. Come over again, gentlemen you
will be received with an honest and hearty
welcome.

A NEW PATENT POLITICAL LIFE IEsUR-
ANCE COMPANY.

The Radicals in this State, it seems, are de-
termined that their partisans shall not only
have a fair share of the good things of this
world-suchas governorships, inspectorships,
seats in the General Assembly, etc., but are
prepared to guarantee TO ny man who dies
in the full Radical faith the consoling assur-
ance that by his living brethren his family
will be provided for. This is illustrated by
the passage by the General Assembly of an
act appropriating $500 piece to the widows
of two Republicans killed in the riot of 1866,
and by the rushing through the lower house,
yesterday, of a bill giving to the widow of the
notorious negro orator, Frank Sinclair, $500,
because her husband ''lost his life by the
hand of an assassin while peacefully advocat-
ing the principles of the Republican party
This dodge is worthy of the exalted genius
and original roguery of carpet-baggery, and
its conception is striking testimony of the
wealth of invention and fertility of resources
with which the mendicant loyaists are en-
lowed just to think-for being killed while
peacefully advocating Republican principles
Sinclair gets S300-after he is killed. What
an opening here presents itself for gentlemen
anxious to make at once and easily an indie
pendent fortune for their families. The re-
ceipt is simple. Insure yourself in the Grand
Radical Insurance Company by becoming one
of the g. A. R., or better yet, of the Loyal
League-then go into some country parish,
make yourself a notorious nuisance to the
neighborhood, insult on every possible occa-
sion, white men infinitely your superiors,
steal to an unlimited extent, get caught in a
predatory excursion and shot, and presto
the thing is done. A mourning State will
hasten to the relief of your weeping family a
sympathetic Legislature, untying the strings
of the public purse, will, from its scant store,
take enough to redeem the policy. you took
out in favor of your wife, and the faith of car
pet-baggery thus indicated, your case will
ever remain on its annals as a shining in
stance of how noble it is to be live Radical,
ana how profitable TO be a a-ad anA--

The RASnE AND IT'S PRoDUCTs.-Emile Lee
FRAME Esq, our able and courteous contempo-
rary of La Renaissance Louisianaise, has
received some very beautiful samples from
Messrs. Joseph Wade a Sons, of Bradford
England, of tissues made from the ramie
plant. These fabrics are exceedingly fine and
light, are dyed yellow, blue and purple, and
appear to be unusually strong and durable.
Wade & Sons import their ramie fibre from
the East under the name of "China grass"
When dressed, this fibre now has in the Lon
don market a value of Is. Cd. per pound,
equivalent to 62l cents in gold which is a
splendid remuneration to the planter. Mr..
A. Ferry, an intelligent ramie cultivator in the
parish of ST. James, estimates the average
yield of clean fibre in Louisiana at fifteen
hundred pounds to the acre. At this time,
there are probably fifty agriculturists in diff
ferent portions of the State who have given
their attention to planting the ramie on an
extensive scale. Wherever information has
been received from these gentlemen, the plant
is reported as thriving admirably. 1t seems
20 flourish more vigorously and luxuriantly
in our soil than even in the distant country
where it was first known. The only things
necessary to make New Orleans great mar
ket for the ramie plant, in all its processes,
from the raw fibre to the finest tissues, are
the erection of the requisite machinery and
the more extended cultivation of the plant
itself
This subject is one well worthy of the care
full investigation of land owners in both Lou
isiana and Mississippi. Mr.. Lefranc will be
happy to furnish every information in his
power to such as may call upon him at his

RECONSTRUCTION UNFINISHED.

After the passage of the original recon-
struction bill, all the time of Congress not
devoted to schemes of financial spoliation
and to preparations for impeachment, was
occupied with experimenting that wondrous
but hating piece of Radical legislation At
every stage il was called perfect by its au-
thors. Yet after every amendatory touch, as
after the passage of the original bill, they
found occasion to legislate still further for
the purpose of curing its imperfections.
At length, however, the omnibus bill was
passed, admitting to representation in Con-
gress, and to their former places in the
Union, certain States which, in the grim
humor of Radical parlance, were said to have
reconstructed themselves. This, the country
was told was to be, as to those States, the
fnality of reconstruction. They were hence
forth, the Radical leaders declared, to stand
on their own bottoms their new governments
being complete at all points, self-sustaining,
and bearing the same relation to the other
governments as the other States.
Louisiana was one of the States which were
represented as having passed over the Jordan
of reconstruction difficulties and to stand at
last on the terra trina of promised restoration.
But no sooner was it's reconstructed govern
ment invited to try the experiment Of standing
without being propped by Federal bayonets.
than its members, Warmoth and the rest,
.ssisoa bUwr TUr Ine continuance of the mill
tary support by which it had been created.
Tbs chill and tremor of dismay came over
tnem their very carpet-bags began to shrink
and shiver like the soaring leaves of autumn
when cold winds whistle through forest
branches.
They know that, left to their own resources,
they are no more able to resist the spontane-
Gus and honest pressure of public opinion
around them than they are to damn the Mis-
sissippi river with their carpet-bags. Their
opportunities to the federal government for
arms and troops amount to confession of this
fact, to say nothing of other proofs quite as
conclusive. All their conduct, in short, testi-
fes that as far as the government which they
profess to embody is concerned reconstruction
is not finished, is not an accomplished fact,
and in the nature of the case never can be.
Now, everybody interested in the peace and
welfare of Louisiana must desire to see an
end put to this shaky, precarious and every
way unsatisfactory condition of affairs. But
the Radicals insist that the uncertain and
revolutionary state of things shall continue
forever. They insist that reconstruction
never shall be finished; that, in order to sub
serve the varying exigencies of the Radical
oligarchy, it shall remain in chronic incom-
pleteness under which there can be none of
those guarantees of security and stability
which are essential alike to good order and to
material prosperity.

Newsham admits that he was not present at
the time referred to in his dispatch, and there
fore could have had no personal knowledge of
the events which he describes; but time
pressed, the Maine election was at hand; no
"rebel" outrages had recently been furnished
for that market, and so Newsham frantically
inundated his house in a telegram. 1t is bad
enough to be a ''trooly loil" congressman; but
who can conceive of the contempt in which
public opinion must be held by a man who
initiates and emulates Conway and Shelley.
Who can imagine the depths which a man
must have sounded before he could engage in
the business of fabricating sensational reports
with the object of stirring up animosities and
awakening the vindictive resentment of one
section of the country against the other For
tunately the people of the North know too
well the |" trooly loir' character to attach any
importance to Newsham's kilograms.

others we've retained at Newsham's to act as
guard around his house. They were all piled
with whisky, became very loud and infamma-
tory in their language, and were guilty OF
indecent gestures as they marched through
the streets. They became quiet, however, as
the white and colored Democrats began to
congregate in the evening. When the Demo
cratic procession passed Newshams house
his three hundred negroes were drawn up
on either side of the road, at shoulder arms,
but they seemed completely awed by the
mighty demonstration of the Democracy, and
said not a word"
There is not a word in the Ledger's long de-
scription that speaks of conflict. If New
shams three hundred negroes we're ranged on
either side of the road at shoulder arms, it is
hard to believe that the black troops who
" fought nobly" could allow their lead
er's house to be robbed, his wife's
life jeoparded, and his gallery set on
fire. Newsham, however, admits that
he was not present during these truo-
ulent performances. Why was he not? Let
that question remain unanswered, for mans
motives are his own property, which it is as
disgraceful for him to divulge upon compul-
sion as it is for him to desert home and wife
and children in the hour of imaginary dan
ger.
Henceforth the list of famous men with
whom truth has alwaysbeen "strange, stranger
far than fiction" must have added to It the
glorious name of Newsham.
Mr.. ]. II. Kennard, who was in the process
sion of the 10Th, and made speech at the

NEwsHAM's DISPATCH.

81 p. Newsham, NJ. c." s dispatch to,Wash-
stating that his dwelling in st. Francisville
was robbed by armed Democrats on the 10Th
ult; that they swore they wanted to wash
their hands in his blood, and would have his
life (; that they levelled their guns at his wife,
and threw burning torches upon his gallery, is
such a fragrant example of the reckless man.
ner in which the members of the Radical
party exaggerate or manufacture facts for the
Northern political market, that we feel it to
be our duty to investigate the matter, in order
to reach the truth. According to the Bayou
Sara Ledger of the 5th. there was to be
grand Democratic procession at Bayou Sara
and st. Francisville, on the evening of the
10Th ult, in which the people of West Fell
ciana and the adjacent parishes were invited
to participate. The morning of the Goth, the
committees of arrangement and other officers
were hard at work, hurrying forward the pre-
partitions. That same morning the town of
Bayou Sara began to fill with Radical negroes,
some on foot, others mounted most Of them
armed with United States muskets, some
with shot-guns and pistols others with bowie
knives, cane-knives and clubs. This, it is
alleged, was in obedience to Newsham's
orders. At the beat of the drum the negroes
gathered in front of Newsham's house, formed
in line, and marched through the streets, the
infantry in front the cavalry IN rear, all led
by little Weber," brother of the sheriff
Weber was the only white man among them.
They numbered two hundred and fifty. Fifty

The members of the Hancock Club are I'M
firing in their efforts for the noble cause of DEM
ocracy. Thursday evening their spacious hall
on Canal street was thronged to its utmost
capacity by citizens who came to hear the
speech of that gallant champion, the Hon. j.
B. Weller. formerly of California. The
speech of Governor Weller was pithy, elo-
quent and lucid, and fully worthy of his
national reputation as an orator and states
man.
Thursday evening of next week, General
Steedman, the favorite soldier orator of
Louisiana, viii speak at the headquarters of
the Hancock Club; and We trust accommo-
dations win be provided for the ladies, as
great many are anxious to hear the general.
We understand that the Hon. John E.
King, of St Landry; Robert O. wickhfe, of
West Feliciana, and F. L. Claiborne, of Point
Coupee, are also to be invited to address our
citizens, under the auspices of the Hancock
Club.
