New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-11-29

The Canton Citi-en, in an editorial on the
death OF Lieutenant Governor Dunn, falls
into the error Of stating that he placed his
house in mourning for Robert Z. Lee. This
is mistake which Governor Dunn au-
thorized the writer Of this paragraph to
correct long ago. The Citizen says:
This person, the most remarkable co!ored
man who has figured in the SOnth since the
war, is dead The people of Louisiana
seemed to have higher regard tor him and
his character than for any of the horde of
office holders that have afflicted that un-
fortunate commonwealth the last six years.
Dunn was a lover of his race in the best
sense of the word He desired to see them
virtuous. educated, genteel and peaceful.
His own dignifed and gentlemanly conduct
had commended itself to the respect of all
true gentlemen, although Dunn was an in
tense Republican.
His conduct in placing his house in
mourning for Robert +. Lee, and his
reasons asst gned therefor, showed him to
be man Of gOOG heart and of high moral
tone. He said he admired General Lee as
a man, and that he had regard for the feel
ings and sentiments of the whites among
whom he lived and whom he assisted to
govern, and that although opposed to Lee
and his followers as politician he would
not be found wan ting in appreciation of the
noble virtues OF the man, nor would he add
one pang of sorrow to those already felt bv
his sorrowing fellow citizens of the white
race.
II we must have colored men in high
omcial position, may God grant they may
% IKE Dunn. ReQuieseat in pace.

HANNIBAL, Mo. November %. - The
steamer Andy johnson, of the keokn!1
Packet Company's line. left this city abont
three o'clock this afternoon on her upward
trip. and when about seven miles above
here struck a snag and sunk in six feet of
water. The shock was very slight and at
first it was supposed that she had merely
struck cake OF ice; but upon going into
the hold it was discovered that large hole
had been made near the stern. aud that she
was rapidly filling, and before anything
could be done the steamer sank to her
guards.
The clerk, John HalIett, and FIVE of the
crew reached here in a yawl about seven
o'clock this evening, wet and nearly frozen.
they report the boat as lying straight with
the current, the water running nearly over
half of the lower deck, but with her bow
headed up stream and still above water,
and it is thonght that she can be easily
raised If the ice does not become too heavy.
The Andy had a light cargo of miscellaneous
freight, with good list Of passengers in the
cabin, who will be compelled to take their
chances on the sunken boat until steamer
arrives. Mr.. Hallett left here for ST. Louis
on the evening train.

This is from the New York CopDe,.cjai

A scene. as disgraceful to the present
state Of the law as it is shocking to human
ity, occurred i'll the Supreme Court, Brook
lyn, two days ago. A husband sued for
divorce on the ground of the adultery of
his wife. The case was referred, and the
referee, n default of the appearance of the
wife, reported i'll favor OF the husband y
application. The court confirmed the re-
port, and the child, the only issue of the
marriage, boy over seven wears of age.
was brought before Judge Gilbert on a writ
of habeas corpus. His mother, in whose
care he had been ever since the separation
OF his parents (which took place when he
was but eighteen months old, accompanied
him. The judge told the child he must go
with his father. Thereupon the poor little
fellow set up the most piteOus cries, and
clung to his mothers side, declaring he
would uever leave her. One of the officers
sought to seize him. but he ran from him
about the court room screaming in the most
heart-rending manner, the mother mean
while imploring the judge to spare her and
her son the horror of such separation.
Nothing. however, availed, and the wretched
little victim was finally captured and borne
from the presence Of the sympathizing spec
tators, uttering the most piercing shrieks,
while the ag0nized mother fell tainting to
the floor. We tiatter ourselves that we are
in the midst OF a Christian and enlightened
era, ana that the barbarities of the middle
ages are among the wrecks of the past, but
this dreadful scene assures us that the law
is still capable Of perpetrating enormities
for which The times of Jeffreys alone afford
an adequate parallel.
