EDITOR RErUBLIcAS; The report of my
speech before the fifth ward club on wedncs-
day evening last contained slight error.
said that Southern Republicans and North
ern carpet-baggers-were doing all In
their power to elevate the black men; while
Southern Democrat. (who did not, nor never
could, lndorse rcroIftruction) and weak
kneed Yankees and coppcrhcads, were doing
all they could to keep them down." Colored
men should make II point to be represented
In any branch Of the municipal, State, OF
General Government where they possess the
ability so to do. By giving me the benefit Of
this card Of explanation, you will confer a
great favor; and I ask II for several reasons,
principal Of which Is that, as black man,
consider honestly that the Republican party o.
the North have thus far for us done what
has boen done. Ihavo been termed, al home
by my Southern Democratic friends, til,

Vicinity Of Cat Island, MISslasIppl
Sound, on the 18th inst, abe met Two
boats, containing O party Of officers
from The garrison at Ship Island, Mis-
stssippi, 10 tow Of an immense devil
ash. As they were unable TO manage
the monster, the coInmandant Of the
cutter offered 10 assist them, and after
considerable labor the fish vas safely
hauled up at the ships fish tackle, and
the vessel steamlng 10 the island, his
satanic plscatorlal majesty was soon on
the beach. On examination II was

"stingaree," only instead OF the head
coming 10 point, the space between

IA feet In breadth, and was estimated
at from 1900 10 !, 800 pounds. A party
Of officers fishing on The, pier discovered
the fish close In shore, on the bottom,
apparently asleep. Col. q. r. Bliss, the
commandment OF the post, an old whaler,
was Immediately summoned, and, be.

poems with lines attached, put out In q
boat. Proceeding cautiously, the
Colonel'S first throw struck the mon.

ter with the boat In tow. A second and
third iron were planted In him, but still
he kept on. Another boat went TO the
assistance OF the first, but, notwlth>
standing the weight oftbe boats, with
six persons In each, they were picked
up distance OF three miles from the
island, the fish being then about dead;
four hourS' time was consumed In the
chase, and all the parties engaged com.
