THE EXCITEMENT in New Orleans at this mo.
ment is intense. fracas between a white man
and black, il pistol is fired or q knife thrust
made, will bring on trouble. Let Us have none of
it, fellow citizens. The only chance Grant has
for his election s a riot in New Orleans. 1t Is the
best card IN his programme. Let us bear
patiently the ills we have, not fly to others that
we know not Of. Seymour will rectify our condi-
ton. In the meantime let us remain quiet, as
long as human nature can endure with honor and
trust to the God Of nations and his servants to
save us from the aggressions and the atrocities OF
the scalawsgs and their unsuspectng dupes.

THERE ARE two boards intimately connected with
She commerce Of this city, the one, the Board Of
HaTbor Matters, the other of Port Wardens.

because he supports the Constitution and is going

observed. A negro insulted q lady in Magazine
street car, a day or two ago, near the corner of
Camp and Terpsichore. The insult was gross
one, and gentleman present came to the rescue.
The negro was combative, and the white man,
drawing a sword cane, stuck the offender in the
arm. The negro jumped out of the car, blew his
whistle, just as sergeant of police his, and the
"bumble" bees emerged from every den in the
neighborhood. The car went on, the negroes
grnmbled and made windy threats, but made no
demonstration otherwise.
