One of the radical candidates for

had little boy, about fifteen years
old, who fell Is love and engaged
himself to one of the neighboring
girls. His father, learning the facts,
hunted the young man up, and,
finding him at his lady-love's house,
gave him good whipping and sent
him home. The little fellow started
on his way, crying. and met one of

was the matter. The little fellow
replied that his father had whipped

FataI Isiol in New orleans.

New ORLEANS, September 23.-The
trouble, last night, originated from o
man on the sidewalk shouting for
Seymour and Blair, as the rear Of the
radical procession passed, shouting
for Grant and Colfax. The negroes
in the, procession rushed for the
shouter for Seymour, who took re-
fuge in q confectionery, corner of
Canal and Bourbon streets. The
attendants commenced closing the
doors, when the negroes demolished
the glass windows and doors. An
indiscriminate firing then commenc-
ed; the negroes then ran, but re-
turned, when they became involved
in o row with o portion of white
club. Several of the latter were
hurt. The white club were un-
armed, except with their torches.
The negroes spread through the
second district, .demolishing the
windows of the confectionery corner
of Rampant and st. Peter streets,
which they also attempted to set fire
to, pouring oil from their torches
over the woodwork, and setting fire
to it. The building was saved by
the timely arrival of policemen. One
negro killed., SO fer as ascertained; a
number of both colors wounded. 1t
IS stated that several policemen were
slightly injured. But little unusual
excitement this morning.

a radical, in q Maine town, aston
ished the people about the polls, last
Monday, by declaring that Seymour
was in the rebel army, and that he
invaded New York, during the war,
had little orphan children drawn and
quartered, and had colored baby
roasted like young pig and set on
the table before him! His friends
tried to hush him up, but he said he
knew it was so, for he had read it in
the Portland Press
STOPPING OF CoTToN MILLS. The
Fall River (Mass.) Nems says that,
owing to the continued decline of
cotton and cotton goods, and to the
fact that the production of print
cloths exceeds the demand, and the
decline of the price below the actual
cost of production, the cotton mills
in that city will run but four days
week for the present, stopping Thurs
day nights for the remainder of the
week.
"H." writes to the Norfolk Journal
from st. Louis, that he has had the

everything is cheering. The whole
West is in blaze; Missouri. Illi-

Seymour and Blair; Ohio is hopeful. I"
The radicals told us that the
Freedmen's Burean was closed. This
is mistake. The Bureaus drawers
are all open. Millions upon millions
are abstracted from them. There
are no keys and no locks.

Since the nomination. of Grant,
seven new Democratic papers have
been started in Wisconsin, and the
Rippon Representative and Columbus
Transcript, formerly radical, have
come out for Seymour and Blair.
Two OF the new papers are Norwe-
gian and one is German. Senator
Doolittle is confident that the State
is safe for the national Democratic
nominees.
An immense fire is raging in the
woods, on both sides Of the Colum-
bia River, in Oregon, near the
mouth of the willamette. The fire
covers an area of 200 square miles,
and the destruction OF property is
very great. The towns of st. Helens
and Astoria are Threatened with de-
struction by the confagration.
On September 15, Captain Graham
and fifty men Of the Tenth Colored
Cavalry were attacked by q band of
100 Indians. The fight was fought
on the banks of the Big Sandy, and
terminated in the defeat of the
Indians, eleven of whom were killed.
The victorious party had neither
killed nor wounded.
It is reported that the great earth
quake in South America swallowed
up "threee hundred millions Of pro-
perty." The New York World
thinks our radical party swallows up
five hundred MILLIONS every year.
The party is worse gormandizer
than the earthquake. It takes bigger
swallows, and swallows oftener.
A Washington despatch to the New
York .Sun says: Now that Mr.. Evarts
