MORE HOMICIDES.

Two unfortunate occurrences arc
reported in the city papers of Fri
day, both resulting fatally to color
ed men.
One of them is that q disturbance
took place near Bayou Sara, on
board Of the steamer "R. r. Lee"
between deck hand and the mate
of the boat, in which the colored
hand was shot and mortally wound
ed by the officer.
The same day another tragedy
WAS enacted on board the "Great
Republic" about ten miles below
Baton Rouge, and while on her way
to this city. The roustabouts are
represented as assuming a very
hostile and threatening attitude
towards one John w. Cheney,
threats to throw him overheard,
and actual attacks with their cotton
hooks and other offensive weapons,
and strange that with all the COM
motion which such demonstrations
would undoubtedly create, there is
no mention Of any notice of it, or
attempt to stop it, on the part OF the
officers OF the boat.
The picture presents Cheney as
a very i'll used and patient man,
enduring all the threats and abuse
until one of the hands brought
rope with which to tie him, and
then he drew his revolver and
scattered the crowd, killing two,
and wounding a third. On the ar
rival OF the boat here Cheeneg was
handed over to the police authori-
ties. We hope that there will be
searching Investigations into these
matters, and should it be found
that these lives have been needless
ly sacrificed, that Justice will be
melted out to the offenders.

THE PRIZE RING.

The two noted pugilists Joe
Coburn and Jem Mace, went out On
Thursday morning last be endeavor
to batter each other to pieces for the
qualification of a crowd of heartless
observers. They did fight, but moi
sufficiently savage, nor sufficiently
long to please those who did not feel
the blows.
The city papers have tecmed with
accounts of the mill, and it is evid-
ent that each was pretty wary of the
other. At the proper time they came
to the scratch and for three hours
and q half. they pounded at each
other, inflicting enough injury to
impress themselves that neither had

part he had taken in this affair de-
clared the fight drawn and the bets

chsgrin of the cdmring multitude

The Republican concludes its re-
port of the fight in this manner :
Dissatisfied sporting men assert

suspicion that neither party intended

luxury of seeing broken heads. bloody

result Of one of the most terrific prize
fights on record
The disinterested public, who regard

and senseless exhibitions, in which the
who fight and those who look on and

duced below the level of brutes, rejoice
at the fact that there was grievous
disappointment among the sporting
fraternity, and at the other and more
important fact that less brutality at

W. CULLEN BRYANT.

The Honorable Montgomery
Blair, has denounced President
Grant, as can ignorant man, with a
strong will that compels Congress
to obey him in all things"
He las plan however for de-
feating the reelection of Grant.
He says:
"The Missouri programme suits
me. There the Radicals were de-
feated through this kind of CO.
operation. Let the Radicals call
their convention and nominate
Grant, and then let the independent
Republicans bolt and nominate
whoever they please, and then the
Democrats rally to his support.
This is the way Lincoln got in in
1850, and in this way Grant can
easily be defeated"
The cooperation is to stand back
as An organization and let the field
be kept clear to the disatfected and
independent Republicans.
Mr.. Blair believes that the Demo-
Gratis are fast coming to this. He
is of opinion that the best anti
Grant candidate is William Cullen

POINTS FOR THE COM
MITTEE.

A committee to investigate the
affairs of the city was provided for
by the Mechanics Institute mass
meeting. We would suggest as
especially worthy of examination
the following points:
First. The office of the Admin
istrator of Finance has for a long
time past been turned into a brokers'
shop, and the Administrator or his
cashier has discounted city obliga-
tons, over the counter, in open
competition with the curb-stone
money leanders and st. Charles
street loan offices. It has even
been asserted by envious persons
Though we cannot believe it) that
the money Of the city itself has been
used in these shaving operations
for laboring warrants have been
knocked down from fifteen to thirty
per cent. How much, we would
have the committee ascertain, has
this little official speculation tended
to conserve the city's financial
credit?
Second. an 1870, $4,000 was
enough for the Dept Of Commerce,
while now $4,000 is asked" Will
the committee not find ont if the
duties and labors of this Depart
ment have not been doubled since
1870? Has not the care of all the
city markets, for instance, since
been added
Third. "The Mayor has reduced
the salaries OF the employees in his
Office from $1S,72O to $4,000"
We should like to know if he cannot
consistently reduce $4,000 more
without injury to the public service?
Fourth. Judge Walker says the
people have abandoned the city
government to a set of rings, job
bers, thieves and men devoid of all
honor or principle" Does the Judge
here particularly allude to the old
Drainage Commissioners-all about
whom lie knows how it is himself"
Fifth. How can respectable tax
payers consistently denounce the
plan Of general improvements con-
templated for the levees, New Basin
and connecting streets, yet sign
petitions for the square block paving
of streets running by their res
pectiye business places Nde
petitions published in last Council
proceedings.
The above will do as first in
stallment. We have some other
suggestive queries in reserve.
