ANOTHER DEED OF BLOOD.

ANOTHER DEED OF BLOOD.
Scarcely had the community recov-

We had sincerely hoped that the

The Republican says:
There pre- various reports rife o.
to what was about to be done by

a further postponement Of the Gov

Governor Dunn was about to re-
move all the city Administrators,
save two, and the Mayor, and re-
appoint all except Mr.. Shaw. OF
course we have no means of know
ing If such were really the intent,
nor whether there are legal grounds
for such action. Bot the bare ru-

State Central Committee, whose
mission seems to be to split the
Radical party, we may very fairly sus
pect them Of being in a similar posi-
ton to the WHY rascal who cried ont
stop thief" in order to hide his
own guilt.
Readers OF the Louisianian
have not been left in ignorance
of the violations of right, and
decent regard for the feelings of
their political equals, which are
chargeable against the members of
the State Committee, and we offer
below additional facts in proof of
the justice of our attack upon them.
In August last Parish Commit
tee was elected in St. James Parish
for the torn of one year, and re-
ceived recognition from the State
Convention, the body which crea-
ted the State Central Committee .
Now the latter Committee is en-
deavoring to set aside the "legiti-
mate political head" of the parish,
and substitute therefor its own
creatures.
The Chairman of the regular
Committee enters a timely protest
against this outrageous action, and
pertinently questions the power of
the State Committee to usurp the
political control of st. James "to
the exclusion of the people thereof"
OF course the people do not pro-
pose to submit to this fragrant vio-
lation of their rights as Republicans
it could not be expected of them.
And it is plain besides that even the
hope Of success for such barefaced
of party custom could
find Judgement nowhere, save in the
minds Of reckless politicians whom
necessity was driving to the adop-
lion of the most desperate expedi-
snts. The Republicans of st. t
James will, however, take care to q
properly resent this attempt to steal b
away their inherent right of mana b
ing their own affairs. Il
Bnt the baldest, checklist, Il
'rassiest dodge yet resorted to, de- a
'eleped itself at a meeting of the 81
Fourth Ward Club on Monday b
light, and We are happy to say was II
promptly and ANONYMOUSLY strang- g

NJ. E. CONVENTION IN THE
SOUTH.


The Chrsaiaa Recorderre reports tn,
meeting of the Convention of tn.
N. E. Church, at Athens, Tenn.
Carefully prepared papers wer,
read by Rev. T. H. Lewis, A. Web.
ster, j. Braden, and Dr.. Fuller, o.
the atlantic advocate. The Dr.s
subject was THE relation of the Eas,
Tennessee Wesleyan University to
the prosperity Of our work in the
South"
The keynote Of this paper is to
be gathered from the following SEN
fences:
THE University is - necessary as
rs the sun to the earth. This Is our
only school for training white can
didates for our ministry. There are
several schools for educating our
colored candidates, and this enter
prise at Athens commends itself to
every thoughtful friend of the
Church. Our ministerial candidates
may be supplied in part by transfer
from Northern conferences. but the
permanent source of supply must
be among the native born young
men OF our own race whom We
educate"
The production on the whole was
too unpalatable; for even that as
semblage, and the DR.. had to with
draw it. and modify it so - to make
it acceptable. The Recorder con-
dennis it in this language:
The whole paper was nothing,
moro nor less, than a plea for "a
white mans" school; and as such
DR.. Fuller will be ashamed of it. |
md will apologize for it, in less
han decade Of years. II we are
20 have a white mans" school. whv
lot % white mans" government;
md if "a white mans government,
Why not "a white mans world? and
Why didn't God ordain it thus? WHY
lid He give us mixed world?"
A. c. N. Donald, to whom hearty
hanks due, resisted the establish
nent Of any institution on any such
'dions principle, and said:
eve already have this East Ten
'esee University, Thomson Univer-
ity at New Orleans, Clafin Univer-
ity, at Oranseburg, South Carolina,
nd others; that Mississippi Meth
dism intends to centre it's educa-
onal efforts at Holly Springs. Miss, |
nd that they will not give their aid
nd endorsement to an institution
any distinction in regard
} the color of pupils" !
We heartily concur with the
;rictures of the Recorder on these q
roceedings. and copy what it says: :
LET every Methodist of African l,
escent in the land doff his hat to y
'e manly A. C. Mcdonald. The =
oors Of Princeton and Harvard u
'en to colored students, those of o
'esleyan University closed, and
