The following items are from the N.
o. Bulletin of last Monday =:
The Bag organ complains that a col.
ored waiter has been discharged at a
boarding house because he turned out
with the Grant lnvincibles,' and advis.
cs Republicans to severely patronize
such boarding houses. Would it not be
well for the Democrats to severely pa.
tronize" boarding and lodging houses
kept by quadroons, who want to chop all
white trash to pieces, and lay the city in
ashes ?
"Another riot in New Orleans would
elect Grant President" This Radical
keynote seems to have been struck again.
Pinchback wants the city" laid in ashes f"
if he or any Of his clan get hurt in a
street quarrel ; the Grant Clubs are al
lowed to sack stores ad Abitum ; the
RAIDS are trying to get up a row about
the Public Schools, and twenty thousand
country negroes are expected next Sat-
urday to come like an army with ban
ners."
The Registration Bill, lately passed by
the Legislature, gives to the Supervisors
and Board, appointed by the Governor,
the right to strike any name from the
list of voters. and from this decision there
is no appeal. The Supervisors are to
have the right to determine how many or
how few voting places or polls shall be
opened, and it makes it the duty Of the
Supervisors to appoint lone or more sui.
table persons" whose duty it shall be to
convey the box to receive the votes to
the place Of holding the election. and to
deliver the same to the Commissioners Of
Election" The Bill might as we'll 1t once
have delegated to the Supervisors the
right to cast the electoral vote of the
State.

AWFUL MURDER BIZ NEGRO
Young Harris (negro) was COM
mitted to Jail in this place Saturday
evening last, charged by the coroner's
jury of inquest. of having murdered
n step-son, young man of about
eighteen years of age. The witness
es examined by the coroner proved
that the victim was literally whipped
to death-beaten from day to day,
for more than week, sometimes
with hickories, o leather strap, rope
and q paddle. On last Thursday
morning, Harris commenced the
chastisemcnt before it was day, and
kept it up until some school chill
dren were passing near his house on
their way to school, On seeing
them approaching, he stopped whip
ping and drove his son into kitchen.
After the children had passed, he
went into the kitchen, tied the
young man 10y the feet, threw the
rope over joist log, and hauled him
up in that position, his hands barely
touching the floor. He then COM
menced beating him with his usual
weapons. The sister of the young
man, about grown. said this was the
condition of things when she left the
house to go to the spring for water,
and that when she returned, her
brother was lying on the floor dead.
This man Harris is tolerably
well-informed man; can read and
write; and is said to be sort of
preacher and doctor. Other mem
bers of his family have also shared
his cruelty. Even his wife, on being
examined, was found SCARED; and
the other members-four children,
from fifteen years old down-were all
severely marked by whipping. One
boy, some twelve or fourteen years
old, was so badly damaged that he is
unit for any kind of work.

HoKR1B1E MURDEK-A CRAZY MAN

HoKR1BLE MURDER-A CRAZY MAN
KILLS A PoeH BEND MAN.-Abost
z+o'clock onS Saturday morning last,
the 9Th of March, Peter Murphy en-
tered the room of Hugh league. who
had been blind for: three times seven
years, and bedridden for the past
seven weeks, and, with q seven shoot
er, instantly killed league for some
trivial difficulty, growing etit OF the
killing of seven pigeons seven days
before, and the only witness. to the
tragedy was lad twice seven years
old. Coroner Whiting was imme-
diately notified of the sad occurrence,
and jury of inquest was soon i'm
panneled. From the evidence it
appeared that Murphy and league
occupied a kitchen in the rear e No.
81 Calhoun street, near East Bay
the ono occupying the upper and the
other the lower story. About week
previous to the homicide, Mr.. Muir
phys cat killed seven of Mr.. leagues
sons pigeo Us, but there was no QUAR-
reling or i'll feeling about the matter,
and Mr.. Murphy paid the lad q dollar
AOA VIZ PhSCOho. luuluCSlluLCly tIU6T
the act, he presented himself before
81. Pinckney Walker, ESQ.,, H. B.
Majesty's Consul, and stated that he
was accused Of q homicide, and as O
British subject he claimed the pro-
lection of the British flag. Mr..
Walker turned him over to Sheriff
HASTE. and he is now lodged in the
Jail to await trial. The verdict of the
jury was to the effect that Hugh
league came to his death by a bullet
fired from pistol in the hands of
Peter Murphy.
Murphy is supposed to be crazy.
and some of his recent acts would
indicate such q state of mind. He
appears to have some method in his
madness, however, by claiming the
protection of the British flag.

Trouble with the negroes, similar
to that Of recent occurrence in ia
maica, is now anticipated in the Ba-
hama Islands. The whites are repre-
sented aa lnyel Sc ..hho crown, but but the
negroes, whose utter worthlessness
and Iaziness have reduced that colony
Mess than forty years from prospe,
rity to abiect heggary, are, terribly
excited at the refusal of the Govern
ment to attend to. their wants, in the
same manner as our nations wards"
are kept fat and idle. Gov. Rawson.
in his recent address to the Legisla-
ture, acknowledges that "the extern
sive agricultural projects; from which
so much was expected, have proved
a failure" About the time Of the
close of the late war, the English
Government sent over seed for public
distribution; practical farmers to in
struct the negroes, and supplied agri-
cultural. implements at tho smallest
possible cost. Every effort possible
was made to indnce Sambo to culti-
vate the SOIL but, his natural sloth
conquered all such efforts. Now, en-
tcouraged perhaps by the good e1-
ample set by the. United States
toward his race, his complaints have
grown into demands, and another
Hayti will probably be the result.
Whether the career of the black race
in this country is to prove an excep-
ton to the many sorrowful examples
already illustrated, the New Orleans
Times thinks may well be a subject
fruitful of wonder. Our only hope
is in the strength of white numbers
and the power of white influence.

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT. dan
gerous counterfeit made its appear
ance in Baltimore on Saturday last:
1t is of the denomination of five
dollars. The Landing of Colum-
bus" on the back of the note is we'll
engraved, but the shaping of the
figures on tho face of the bill is
heavy. The main point of difference
between the counterfeit and genuine
Is this: In the spurious the st" in
the sentence, "This note is secured, :"
etc.. at the head of the bill covers the
''n" in Omitted States" while in the
genuine it comes over the upper left
corner. By Shis difference the coun-
terfeit may be easily detected.

Whatever may be the direct issue
of the present troubles in Washing
ton, there is one thing to which we
can no longer close our eyes, and that
is, the great change that is taking
place in the character of our Govern
n1ent. The numerous offers of troops
from Governors and communities in
the interests of both contesting
parties-the actual presence of bayo-
nets in armed hostility to one branch
Of Government and in the service of
the ,other-plainly show that the old
fashioned faith in the potency of the
"ballot" for redressing grievances is
fast passing away, and reliance
upon the shorter and more decisive
political resolver, the Outlet" is
coming rapidly into favor. The
''clash of resounding arms" now
heard in the political storm, may pass
away with it, but who can doubt,
asks the New Orleans Times, that
future complications, which may
arise, will be arbitrated by the sword?
Fhe temper of the people, the signs
OF the times, all social and political
po-tents, proclaim that we are on the
verge of an important change, whe-
ther for good or for evil the result
alone can demonstrate. Gen. Banks

the storied Potomac-"This is the

GEN. WAsHINGToN's AGE.-A very
old man, who saw Gen. Washington,
and describes him rs tall, dignifed
appearing person, with dark or
tanned complexion. has something to
say in the Newport Mercury with;
regard to the real age of the great
Father of his Country. Washington,
he says, was born on the 11th day of
February, 1882, old style-135 years
ago. Eleven days were omitted from
the British calendar in 1852, and
Washington's birthday was cele-
brated thereafter on the 22d of Fe-
bruary. At the time Of. Washing
toms birth, the beginning of the year
in Great Britain and her colonies was
on the 25th of March, but an act was
passed in the twenty fourth year of
the reign of King George II, that,
the 1st day of January, which, in the
old style, would have been I751,
"shall be reckoned and deemed to be
the first day of our Lord 1852; con-
sequently the period of time between
the last day of December, 1851, and
the 25th of March following, was en-
tirely stricken out from the British
calendar. Washington, therefore,
had no birthday in February, 1751,
for there was no month of February,
1851, in British history. On his
birthday, therefore, in 1852, (new
style,) he did not become twenty
years of age. but only nineteen, and
from the day of his birth, in 1882,
(old style.) to this present February,
1868, are only 1876 years.

THE OFFICE OF STATE PRINTER.

The following generous expressions o
opinion concerning the Office of Stat
Printer are from the Belmont Champion
of the 18th instant. What is therein
stated is all the more entitled to con
Alteration from the fact that it is from
the pen of a practical printer, and one
who has had much experience in the
matters alluded to. (Mr. E. F. Nc
Elwain. we'll known here from his for
mer connection with the APPEAL and
other Carson newspapers, is the editor
of the Ctampion.)
One of the first acts of our Legislature
which is to convene in Carson on the flrs'
Monday in January next, should be the
amendment of the law creating the office OF
State Printer. As it now stands upon our
statute books that officer is elected for but
two years, while all others of our State Off
GERS are elected for four years. The sessions
of our Legislature are biennial, consequently
the State Printer has the work of but one
session to do. To perform the work in ac-
cordance with the law necessitates the ex-
penditure Of a considerable amount of money
for material which is of but little value in a
newspaper Office in this State. At the adj
journment of the Legislature the State Printer
must sell his type. slues," etc, for babbitt-
metal at loss of from twenty to forty cents
per pound, or store it with the view of selling
i. to the next incumbent of the office, who, of
course, will take advantage of the knowledge
that it is Eot saleable material for any other
purpose than that of State work. The above,
however, is not the most Objectionable fea-
,ure of the law; its scale of prices are en-
tirely too low. At the figures allowed by law
there is but one character of the States
printing which will pay decent profit upon
the work. The printing of {" bills " for the
Legislature is profitable at the figures al
lowed, but, usually, there is not enough of
this kind of work to balance the losses sus-
tanned in printing the reports and messages
of the State officers, large blanks, journals
OF the two Houses and the statutes Of the
State At the last session of the Legislature
a special law was passed providing that the
State Printer should be paid in gold-bearing
warrants for work delivered by him up TO
July LIST, 1868; but notwithstanding this
favorable legislation, had it not been for the
printing of Johnson's CJdifcatlon Bill -
upon which the State Printer cleared nearly
if lot quite $4,500-it would have bank
rupt, both him and his partner to have full
filled the duties of the Office.

A SLAVE DEALERS EXECUTION.-Aw writer
in the Atlantic, referring to the execution Of
Gordon, the slave trader, says:
Whatever Gordon's life may have been
worth to him or to his friends, think this
country put it to very good use when she
hanged him. A storm of protest was made
against his death. Twenty five thousand
people petitioned Abraham Lincoln to spare
that mans life, and Abraham Lincoln re-
fused. Gordon was hanged. All through
the little ports and big ports of the United
States it was known that slave trader had
been hanged. And when that was known,
the American slave trade ended. All up and
down little African rivers, that you never
heard the names of, it was known that an
American slave trader had been hanged i;
and cowardly pirates tremhled and brave
seamen cheered when they heard it. Moth
ers Of children thanked such gods as they
knew how to thank; and slives shut up In
barracoons, waiting for their voyage, got sig
nal that something had happened which was
to give them their freedom. That something
was that Gordon was hanged. So far that
little candle threw its beams.

PoRrRA1r OF GENERAL PRIM.-Here is
a po<trait of General Prim. taken from
Neue Freie Presse of Vienna: General
Prim wears a common military tunic, with
two golden stars on the collar, and white
keDi similar to that of the Spanish cavalry
with broad gold border. This is ali that
shows him to be soldier. When in civ
Hans dress he gives yJn the idea of draw
ing room dandy, with a hobby for riding,
hunting, and love adventures. There Is
nothing martial about him-no roughness,
not even soldierly plainness, in his charae-
ter-and his manner is not in the slightest
degree that of swash buckler. He Is
slight, well formed, barely above the middle
hight, and when on horseback looks like
ANYTHING but a Mars. But his head is far
more attractive than dozen soldiers heads
There is mysterious brilliancy about 1t
like that which distinguishes the fancy por-
traits of Tintoretto. The deep, intense
blackness of his large eyes, his hair, and his
silky whiskers and moustache, are striking
even in the South, where dark people are
not wanting, and, combined with his olive
complexion: gives an impression of strong
passions. His countenance is constantly
working under the impulse of an internal
restlessness.
