Report on Explosive Oil.

We are indebted to- DR.. White
President of the Board of Healtht
for the following report from Dr
Clark:-fN. o: Republican,.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 1G, 1871
DR.. G. B. White, President OF the
Beard of Health.
SIR-4Another so-called coM oil
explosion occurred in this district
yesterday. Joseph Mazet, cespo
raj of police, fifth precinct, residing
at No. 31S Derbigny street, was the
unfortunate.
He was pouring the fluid from a
can upon some live Goals in the
CRATE, when the contents became ig-
nited, exploding the can and scat
tering the liquid fire in all directions.
| find that the community are
misled by two circumstances. First,
that these dangerous light oils are
called coal oil and second, by the
AL captandum test resorted to by
dealers, OF pouring some of the fuid
on the floor and lighting it with a
match. Because no explosion oc-
ours, the credulity of the people is
satisfied. OF course gunpowder
and nitro~glycerine are equally harm
less under the same circumstances.
With this report | forward the
exploded can and a specimen of the
cause Of the accident. This explo-
sive fluid was purchased.at the corner
of Girand and Union streets, is
known as ''crystal,' and was sup
piled by William Francis Mclean,
l35 Carondelet street. 1t has a spe-
ciic gravity Of G3 degrees Baume,
is commercially known as naptha,
being of that class of light oils Of
which septoline, puuoline, gasoline,
anchor, black diamond, carbon, etc,
are well known representatives.

Forward is the Word.

In the grand Democratic process
sion which was gotten up i'll New
York to celebrate the arrival OF the
exile Fenians, negro clubs were as
signed prominent place in the for.
nation of the line Of march. A cor.
respondence took place on the sub.
ject, a colored club having solicited
the honor of participating in the
celebration. Tammany held the ap-
plication under advisement fol
several days, and at last submitted
it to vote of the society, when the
proposition to grant the request was
carried in the affirmative by a small
majority. 1t is important to know
and publish these facts hereabout,
for there are many persons who are
blindly allied to the Democratic
party because they suppose that 1t
is religiously and lconscientiously
devoted to the white race' Tam
many is the mouthpiece Of the De
mocracy, and when she breaks COW
er and allows the colored people to
participate ina great and patriotic
celebration, it is time for the lesser
lights to either cease their opposl-
ton to such affiliation or to hunt
about for a new party of purer color.

Special Dispatch 10 the st. Louis Is"
publican.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Severa
measures are under discussion among
the Republican Senators and mem
bers, preparatory to action in Con
gress, for the protection of the citi
zens of the Southern States from
violence by alleged KuK!ux, etc
One of these proposes that United
States commissioners shall be ap
pointed in every county in the South
ern States, with power to issue war
rants and serve them through the
deputy marshal, and to commit tC
jail or hold to bail for trial any person
charged with intimidating others OF
committing any unlawful act'
Among other things, the Disgusting
OF the person or wearing Of mask
OF the highway is named as felo.
nious, to be punishable with fine and
Imprisonment. Secret political socl'
cites are especially to beprohiblted.
A bill with these features was even
discussed to-day, without result, by
the Reconstruction Committee. An
other proposition is for the Presi-
dent to issue a formal proclamation,
warning all marauders to disband
and return to their homes in peace,
under pain Of arrest and trial by
the United States authorities. Still
another bill proposes general am
nesty, with proviso that any one
afterwards elected to- a position for
enforcing the laws Of a State, who
shall fail to punish any persons who
have murdered, beaten or other
wise maltreated loyal people, shall
be deprived of such amnesty on the
facts alleged being proved before
the Secretary of State OF the United
States. This latter part Of the
scheme is so manifestly in violation,
of law and the constitution, that it
will hardly be seriously considered.
But these various propositions with
the almost daily conferences that
are had on them, show that an effort
will be made even at this season to
legislate some Of them into some
kind of law. The Senate special
committee will also be prepared with
a bill for the purpose named

"The shop is just about as it was

But the house remains and is kept
in good repair. 'Relie.hunters have
carried off the weather boarding

distance of four or FIVE feet, but
this has been replaced by new. The

off the whole building if not watched
closely. It's the only tailor-shop
that ever produced President, and

Some time ago there was intense
excitement among the Democrats of
Peoria, i'll which all the defeated can.
didates for Office and their friends
attributed their mistortunes to the
editor Of the National Democrat of
that place. Resolutions were adop-
ted reading the paper out Of the
party and pledging the public to
stop the paper. The Democrat, we
notice, still lives, and, so far as the
appearance of the journal goes, is in
fourishing condition--the editor
not having lost either courage or
cash in consequence Of the political
spasm of Peoria. Newspapers now
a-days live or perish upon their own
merits, and it will be found In the
