Mr. Sella Martin, leading colored man

Asinterrogatories are the order of the day
we have some to put to Mr.. John McEnery:
Did not very high State official in con
versation with you at the St. Charles Ho-
tel give you first intelligence of the scheme
of the two rump committees to put q new
ticket in the field-the one which you now
head-entirely ignoring the Liberals
Did not you respond that you could not
believe it-that such policy would be
suicidal; that without cooperation with the
Liberal party defeat would be inevitable
What has since occurred to alter this
opinions Did your retention at the head
of the ticket have anything to do with a
change in your convictions
If the inevitable defeat" you so shrewd-
ly prophesied should come about would
not your ticket be responsible to the people
for the. consequences, to wit-"Grant and

DEAR STR-I learn that you are eandi-
date for election as a delegate to the Lib
eral- Convention to meet on the fifth of
August. l know you to possess a well de-
served popularity in your ward, and that
your election, should you remain candi-
date, would be almost certain; but beg of
you, as a valued friend and supporter of
mine, to withdraw in favor of some other
citizen not subject to the imputation Of be-
ing in any way subjected to my influence.
You hold lucrative position by my ap-
pointment,. and while I know, and your
other personal friends know, that this fact
would not control your action as delegate
to the convention, it would, nevertheless,
be seized upon by our enemies as an excuse
to deery our movement and injure our
cause. / hope that every friend Of mine,
holding Office by my appointment, and fa-
vOrable to the Liberal cause, will refrain
from attending the convention, and that its
deliberations may be entirely free from the
suspicion that they are in any manner int1u-
eneed or controlled by myself or my friends.
/ again beg you to withdraw in favor of
some other old and respectable citizen, if
possible a stranger to me, and who will be
free from any suspicion of being in my
interest. Very truly yours,

AS it is a good while before the political
schemes will be completed, and the political
tickets drawn for, it would be well for men
of all parties to recoIlect that by securing
ticket in the next grand single number
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery,
which takes place tomorrow, valuable
prize might be drawn. And the Louisiana
State Lottery tickets are not, like election
tickets, restricted to male voters of a certain
age. Females are not debarred the right of
voting these tickets, which often turn out
better prizes than ordinary election tickets.
To-mOrrow's drawing will produce over 400
valuable prizes, the largest of which will be
$4,000. just think Of that Fifty thousand
dollars! Why, the thought Of winning that
prize would make any reasonable persons
mouth water. But then there are 439 other
valuable prizes to come out in the same
drawing, and 440 persons are bound to draw
prizes if the tickets are taken.
As this is the last day for purchasing tick
cts in this scheme, the rush will be great.

We have received somewhat lengthy
communication from Algiers, the only
point Of public interest being the fact that
the new postmaster has removed the post
Office from central and suitable locality to.
a whisky shop. That Postmaster Loan
holds another federal appointment is be-
yond our control; that widow lady has
been displaced in his favor we can n not rem
edy. But we think Mr.. Loan, from what
we know Of him, will make arrangements
that ladies and all others may visit the
postofice without being forced into an un-
suitable or improper place.

The "Last-Ditchers' were .iubilant over
the tenth ward meeting Tuesday night
so elevated, in fact, that they saw not double
only but fourfold OF those who attended
it was plain that the majority were at
tracted, some by curiosity, but the majority
by desire to hear what Mr.. McEnery and
others could say in defense of their extra
ordinary programme. 1t was also appar-
ent that few, if any, were convinced that
these gentlemen are not pursuing a selfish
and unpatriotic course; and this conviction
would have penetrated the mind of the
most sanguine "Ditcher' of them all could
he have witnessed the enthusias tic and har-
mon1ous manner in which hundreds of Nc
Enery's auditors of the night before on
Wednesday night gathered in the Liberal
club rooms to make nominations and other
preparations for the approaching election
of delegates to the August convention.
The tenth ward is Liberal to the core, and
will roll up an enormous vote for the Lib
eral nominees.
When the German Liberal Club marched
into the hall of the Central Club, in order
that no dissensions should arise in the Sc

canvass. When mutual pledges were given
that mo Irishman, no German should be
recognized in this contest, but as American
citizens all should unite in an endeavor to
elect the men who would do best by the
people" the spirit of victory itself was in
fused into the people. With such feeling

''lts as common as a household

rings upon the ear. A friend of ours
has recently gathered a few household
words together, and they sound some
thing like the following. We know
our lady readers, especially those much
endearing martyrs, housekeepers and
mothers, will appreciate them:
stop your noise. Shut up this min

big mouth. Let. me be. Git out.
Confound you, behave yourself.
You'll catch it. Don't bother me. Stop
that, or Ill knock the head off YOU.

is good. Persons experienced in such
