The New Orleans Times in Il
Tissue Of December Sd, pants t
know whether there are any Stat
Governments. "'Tis a thing "
+ long to know" and have asked re
peatedly about recently, and .th'
rapid succession Of coasps Gent
, which, if not dazzling in brillianc,
are certainly dewildering in fre
quency have only served to make
our confusion worse cenfounded.'
But the Times should comprehend
it all. But wherefore is this
squeal? Simply because ten thou
sand people who the Times knows
have been most outrageously viola
ted in the exercise of a right guar
anteed to them by their Government
complain. Because MI. Kellogg
and others who are sought to be
openly and unblushingly robbed of
the benefit of these votes, seek to
obtain constitutional redress, in a
constitutional manner, the cry is
sent up that there is no State Gov
eminent, and a resort to the most
contemplate appeals of the dema-
gogue is made to inlame the pas
sions of whites in prejudice against
the United States District Attorney
and other conscientious barristers
engaged in the faithful performance
Of professional duties.
Disgraceful as is such a course it
is only in harmony with the con-
cuct of the Times since it under
took the championship, and became
the apologist, not only of the very
questionable headlong course OF
Warmoth, but also of the
proceedings of Super
visors and Commissioners through
whose conspiracies, the colored
voters of Louisiana have been
robbed out of their fair share Of
representation everywhere, and yet ,
Times is not happy. And no !
Wonder Nemesis haunts the fugitive
criminal and makes him fear each c

low to squeal, the mills of the Gods a
nay grind slowly but they grind ex-

anne people that ratified the if g

of the United States, and en- a

: for himself, his hand found muol
to do and he did it with hi
"might." Laboring through al
the subordinate departments o
newspaper Offices, acquiring infor.
nation by study, implanting those
principles and maturing that char.
acter which placed him at the proper j },
time at the head Of an exalted pro-
fession, Horace Greeley continued
till he started. the Mew York hi
6une thirty years ago. Arrayingg
himself on the side Of humanity and
truth he dared to be "singular "
in the singular few who he identi-
fed himself with. It was in the
anti-slavery cause, and kindred
questions that Mr.. Greeley fully
embarked. Though not always
thinking, acting or writing in exact
accord with his associates, he was
consistently laboring for the same
ends. The batteries of the Tribune
for twenty long years poured their
hot and heavy shot into the Sebas-
topol of Slavery. MI: Greeley
moulded the popular feeling and
sentiment of the Nation, in spite of
the combined effort of the opposi-
ton press. He made his position
so useful, SO honorable, and so
powerful that Horace Greeley's
opinions either expressed or formed
those of the North. He was conse-
quently venerated by his friends
and feared and hated by his
enemies.
The colored man is under per-
9etual obligation to Mr.: Greeley, and
however we may lament the tan
gent at which he recently flew off,

profound respect the memory Of the

The nation at large will do 9

arge-hearted wh~ole-souled and ear t

ence at his funeral of PRESIDENT c
rant and SO many representatives b
every class and condition, are S,

A LAND SLIDE IN RED CLAY CUT DIsABLEs THE
MAIL TRAIN.
The mail train bound West, yesterday, on the
w a. W. r. r., when rounding curve in Rod
Clay Ont, after leaving Mount Cuba, ran into
mass of stonoa and dirt which had been displaced
and rolled upon the track. Owing to the sharp
curve. the distractions were not seen until the
engine was almost upon them, but NJ soon as
nolced, the whistle sounded down brakes"
but before the train could be stopped the engine
had got through. The foremost truck of the
baggage ear had jumped the rails, and after
turning across the track slipped back under the
mail department of the car, by which time tho
train was stopped, Fortunately no person was
injured, but considerable damage was done to
tie baggage car and engine, The passengers
crowded upon the engine and tank and pro-
ceeded to their destinations, arriving at Landen,
burg about 10 minutes behind time. The mixed
train leaving Landenburg Eastward at 1920, re-
moved the wrecked train to the siding at Cuba
Hill Station, and the mail train, with box car,
arrived at Wilmington at the usual time. Had
it not been for the watchfulness of the train
hands and the slow rate at which the train was
proceeding the consequences would have been
| OF serious character.
