DEAR SIR:-I have carefully examined
the mason work of the new State House at
Springfield, Illinois,, and do net SEQ how
there lcould be any very great difference
of opinion among those competent to
judge. In several places quite large holes
had been opened through the walls, CIV
ing me a good opportunity TO see the in
terror work, and ] feel no hesitation in
saying that the material is uniformly
good and the work uniformly well done.
In some cases morter used in the brick
work is of quick lime and ir some cases of
water lime. | should give the preference
to water lime, although both are good of
their kind.
The walls are well in line throughout
ahd have apparently been laid with great
care and did not discover any defect in
the material or workmanship that would
in any way, affect the stability Of The
building.
am quite sure if there be any failure
in the work thus far, it will not be on ac.
count of bad material or bad workman.
ship. Very respectfully yours,
[Sgncdl II. b. MASON.

Mrs. Emma j. Beckett, of Troy, n. Y,
a member of Grace Church choir for some
years, had some trouble with that body,
and took her seat in the congregation,
where she continued to sing. This was
submitted to for three weeks, when on her
resuming her tuneful lay, Sunday, she was
arrested by policeman for disturbing the
meeting. She was discharged, and has
brought suit against the church for false
imprisonment.

OUR C0RRESPN NDENCE.

For the Louisianian.
Mr.. EDIroR,-DEAR SIR:
In last Sundays issue Of your
valuable periodical, I find an article
headed ''RESULT OF USURPA-
TON" And as the same gives
rise to great deal of reflection and
worse conjectrres, I am constrained
to appeal through your columns,
to the community as to the necess-
ity Gifts immediate consideration.
1t seems SO impolitic at this crisis
that men who deem themselves true
and loyal to their party, and asseve-
rate that they are friends to our
race, should SO far forget 3heir as
severations. and by their actions
not only have eschewed their friend
ship for our prosperity. but une-
quitably deplored the harmony Of
the Republican Party, and so fan
have not failed in. the productions
of dissensions, and also bid fair to
defeat . Republican Election in

THE THIRD WARD HOWLERS

THE THIRD WARD HOWLERS.
,e5},,st t,stul - 80
The managers of the Bird ward
club have for sometime engaged IN
the outrageous practice of disfran-
chising legitimate voters OF the
ward and of insulting invited speak
ers, but they reached the climax OF
political indecency last Saturday
night by sending hundred or more
of claqueurs from their club room to
Senator BARRIERS private residence,
where they halted AMI made use OF
the most disgusting epithets in
reference to him.
Senator BARRIERS offense seems to
be that the Bird ward elected him
Senator, that he is not willing to
repudiate his election, that he stands
by the members of the administra-
ton who were elected when he was,
and that he does not support Lieu
tenant Governor Dunn for Governor
Warmoth's place at least a year
and half before he can even get a
nomination for it. Because he is
unwilling to assist in drawing the
mass. of orr people into a fight
which may affect their situations
and take bread from the mouths OF
their wives and children, make them
squander their votes to feed the
ambition of those who will refuse to
give them any compensation for the
places they may lose in this partizan
scramble, because in short he has al
opinion of his own and cherishes il
ardently as an honest man shonld
concedhg at the same time the
right of other people to hold thei1
opinions as frn9 and as indepen
IDENTIFY as he holds his.
Have we not come to fearful
pass when colored men like bowling
demons, not only beat down fret
speech in their ward clubs bu
parade the streets at night to dis
turb the quiet of gentleman
residence with expressions OF in
sulting remarks against its occu
pant?
We as colored people com
plain that white people, maxi
us the victims of their preju
dice and prescription, we charge i
upon them that they shut up al
avenues of lucrative employment
and insult us by refusing us admis
sion to places of instruction ant
? amusement upon terms Of equality
and yet in the presence OF these al
legations of grievous injustice, a
soon as we possess even one nth
of their power, we run not III tn
commission of deeper wrong
against men Of our own color 10
no other reason than slight differ

men as standard bearers in on

counter, IN the future, an oppositio
