How IL Works.

A Republican friend of ours, who re-
sides in this city, and who follows the
river for livelihood, went to New
Orleans few weeks ago, and while there
got into difficulty with colored deck
hand that he was working, using only a
few ugly words in addressing the black
individual. A nigger policeman hap
pening along just then, laid his hand
upon our white friend and said to him:
"Come with me, sab, which he declined
to do, when the official knob of the bureau
drew up over his head his club, at the
same time displayed his police badge,
and repeated in an authoritative tone,
Come with me, sah." Our friend went.
His ebony majesty conducted him before
a little weazen- faced official, who in
quired into the matter, and coolly ad-
dressed our friend assfollows: "As this
is your first offense, l will make it light
on you, will make it light, very
light, sir" Then, figuring on piece Of
paper, announced forty dollars as the
SUM of which he was to be lightened. Our
friend Ightened his pocket-book accord
ingly, and says his Republicanism was
lightened likewise. 1t is needless to say
this little affair added one more to the
Democratic majority in Floyd county.

SEE. MONDAY EVENING. MARCH l6. Is
DaaertinR Him.

A recent letter from New York says
Itis definitely ascertained now that the
great dry goods man, A. T. Stewart, has
decided to drop Grant as "bad egg"
Stewart says business is business, and a
man who does not deal fairly at aud over
the couHter, whether it is in Broadway or
in Washington, is not to be trusted. He
does not think Grant has treated John
son on the square in theStantor business,
and he does not hesitate to express the
conviction that not only in that, but in
other matters, he has behaved in style
which il is difficult to recognize as that
ofa high-toned gentleman" He thinks,
moreover, that il is high time we had a
high-toned gentleman in the White
House, and therefore he will none OF
Grant. 1t is Of no use for Grants father
to be trying to write him up in Bonner s
Ledger, either. Stewart thinks that is
rather a peanut sort of bid for popular
ity. From all this, the various Grant
clubs, who have been making dead set
on the great dry goods man for funds to
carry on the campaign, will readily un-
derstand that they are played out. Alex.
I. refuses to bleed, and if stamps are
needed to nelp Hiram in New York,
they will have to make application else
where.
