FURTHER OF TUESDAY NIGHT.-Besides the
atrocities committed by the negroes on Canal
street, Tuesday night, several peaceable citizens
were assaulted, beaten and shot, whilst quietly
walking home. or sitting in front of their dom-
Giles, anxious TO know what the canse OF tumult
was.
young man, Mr.. Constant. member of .Etns
S. W. NJ, who had been paying visit on Cla.
borne street, near the Bayou Road, was sitting on
the railing of the draining canal, waiting for the
car, about half-p 10. Three negroes came
along. One said, in French, " Here is a white son
of a =. let's kill him." The speaker fired and
the ball penetrated Mr.. Constants leg above the
knee, lodging inside, but breaking no bone. Mr..
Constant with the impulse of brave man,
jumped into the middle Of the street to look for
missile to defend himself wthal. In this act he
was shot again, the ball entering the shoulder
from behind. and passing entirely through and
out OF his body. Both wounds are painful and
enduring, but not necessarily dangerous. The ne
groes ran away, as soon as they had crippled Mr..
Constant
young man employed as barber in an es-
adjustment on Commercial alley was attacked by
half dozen negroes whilst he was on his way
home down Bienville street. His name is Blu
mentheim. A pistol shot grazed his face and
cheek, and he was seized, choked, aud had his
pockets searched. We can't say he was robbed,
for he had no money or other valuables on his
person. He was beat, however, and the proba-
biliiy is that II weapon had been found on him
he would have been murdered.
The confectionery, corner Of Rampant and st.
Peter street, was burst open, about quarter be.
fore eleven O'Clock, and nearly everything broken
into thousand pieces. There is q negro club at
the adjoining corner, only twenty PAGES distant,
which numbers four hundred negroes, who pass
their time gambling and plotting mischief from
morn to noon; from nosn to dewy eve, and sll
night long. The proprietor Of the confectionery
hearing the tumult Of the approaching crowd.
fastened every door and window. The negroes
burst open the doors and windows, and after
plundering or breaking everything that was Of
value, threw their lighted torches into the build
iDg apparently with the intention OF setting fire to

A. ID. Richa rdson, In THE TRIBUNE OF yesterday you
urge as reason why "The Government need OF a
Southern is far urgent and palpable than the
qurement Of Northern Pacific Railroad" the consldera.
ton that the Government has more Indians TO watch
feed or fight the lower than the upper route and
compelled to keep more troops there every pound OF
their subsistence costing ten TO twenty cents for trans
pOrtatOn alone"
without wishing 20 detraet from the force OF your
statement as postre argument In favor OF Government
aid TO the Kansas Pacific road I beg To submit few
facts 90 show that your dsparagement OF the importance
OF the Northern Pacific road Is hardly just.
The number OF Indians along the northern route 10
quite one hundred thousand. fully Qnethrd OF all the
Indians OF the United States Let enumerate Between

At meeting of the Commissioners OF Charl-

An exchange thus gives Us a string
Of stubborn facts:
1t is a fact that Stanton declared
that the Tenure of Office bill under
which he holds Office, was unconstitu-
tional!
1t is a fact that Gems. Grant and
Sherman have urged Stanton to leave
the Cabinet.
1t is a fact that Stanton remains in
the Cabinet out of personal not patriot
ic motives.
1t is fact that the impeachment
resolutions were caused by spite, and
by no other reason!
II is fact that John Sherman, and
other Republican Senators, said no gen
tleman would want to remain in the
Cabinet, if the President did not want
him to do SO.
1t is fact that Sumner, Wade, and
others who are TO try the President,
have already made up their verdict,
and the trial will only be a sham!

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

AS every where else, so also in New
Hampshire, the Democrats have made
large gains. In the largest vote ever
polled in the State (abOut $4,000 the
Radical candidate has but $500 major
ity. Last year in vote Of $1,000, his
majority was 8, ,146 and in 1866, about
5000. This result shows that
the Democrats are steadily gain
ing ground in the Granite state, and
we have no doubt that the Radicals
will lose the state at the Presidential
election. We predict that there will
not be more than $4,000 votes cast in
theState at the November election, and
as'the Democrats have upwards of 81
600, they will carry the State. At the
Presidential election the RAIDS. will
need all the votes they imported from
Maine and Massachusetts, to carry
these States. 1t Is an Indlsputable
fact that the Radical vote was increas-
ed in New Hampshire, only in the bor-
der towns. The Boston I|areleT, a Rad
ical paper, says that the State was car
ried by money, some t1c0 he0adred hOas-
and dollars having been sent thither.
In spite of this the RAIDS have lost since
last year, nearly 200 OF their majority.
The Democrats have also made hand
some gains III the Legislature. Last
year the House stood, Bads., 202; DEM
Gratis. l2S Radical majority, "a. Now
it stands, RAIDS, 1872; Democrats, 1873;
Radical majority, "a Democratic gain,
90. This will do for the present. New
Hampshire will be all right in due
time.

THE BOARDER IN THE WAR OFFICE

E. NJ. Stanton eats, drinks and sleeps
In the War Office. He fears to stir an
inch from his desk, lest Thomas, the
real Secretary of War, should step in
and take his place. Poor devil! He
knows that he is in the wrong, that he
is usurper. He knows that if Thom-
as gets possession, in person, that force
alone can Gust him (Thomas) and re-
instate himself tStanton). If he can
rely upon his teg0t right to hold the
Office, why does he not go to his fami
ly, like an honest white man, and eat
and sleep under his own roof-tree?
All. there's the rub! He dares not
rely upon legal measures, but pettifog-
ger-like, he concludes that possession
is nine-tenths of the law" and so he
keeps possession. But, never mind
The writ of ejectment will issue after
awhile.
