with heavy stone and knocked senseless
He was literally stoned to death, The
crowd sent up cries of 'Fthrow him over
board, but better advice prevailed among
the rioters, and the crowd fell back
During the excitement several shots were
| fired, but we can learn of no serious results.
| The strikers claim that one of their men
was shot in the abdomen, but the report
has not been verified. The body of Captain
Barnes was taken to his residence, corner
Of Third and Rousseau streets, and the
coroner notified. A detachment of police,
held in reserve at the Rousseau street sta
ton, was dispatched too the spot, but the
whole affair was over in so short time
that they could render very little hindrance
The police made several arrests, but in
every case the prisoners were rescued by
the excited mob
Upon the arrival of the police, the crowd
fell back from the levee, and, preceded by
the music, marched out Washington street
to Magazine street, and down to hall on
St. Charles street near Felicity road, where
meeting was held, and, after constituting
themselves a committee Of the whole, to
find out and report every man working
under the newly established rates, they
agreed to postpone further demonstrations
until next week.
During the day several boats agreed to
pay the rates demanded, and the work of
diseharging and loading was allowed to 60
on, The leyee laborers, colored and white,
seemed to be equally interested, and a
mutual understanding seemed to be had.
Superintendent Badger hadlarge reserves
o. police at the harbor, third, fifth and sixth
precinct stations, not knowing where their
services would be most needed. Too much
praise can not be accorded to Captain
SchreibeR, OF the harbor police, for the de-
gree Of peace and order maintained in his
precinct through his energy and fore
thought.
The difficulty that did occur, and unfor-
tunately eliminated in the death of
worthy citizen, occurred in the Fourth Dis
trict. But two officers were present when
the difficulty occurred at the barge, and
when reinforcements arrived the excite
ment was at such a pitch that they could
render little service. Superintendent Badger
arrived on the spot as soon as he could be
telegraphed for, and he at once made such
disposition Of his forces as to prevent further
trouble.
The strikers seemed to have their plans
we'll digested, and in many cases, though
exhibiting degree of frmness and resolu-
ton, at the same time they maintained
themselves free from intoxication to an I'M
usual extent, and seemed fully under the
disciplined control of their leaders up to
the time of the murderous assault upon
Captain Barnes.

Important Case Before Commissioner

Important Case Before Commissioner
Weller.
Yesterday John S. Chapman, late assistant
supervisor Of registration, B. F. Bryant,
clerk of the district court, James Cooper
and Thomas Mears were charged before
Commissioner Weller, on an affidavit made
by Gustave Leblanc, with neglecting or
willfully refusing to produce the rcglstra-
ton books of 1870, and deliver the same
over to T. Brady, present assistant super
visor, as required to do by the provisions of
the enforcement act of February %, 1871.
The prosecution alleges that these books
have been destroyed or purposely withheld
so as to make new registration necessary,
A number of witnesses were called to prove
that the books were last seen in Chapman's
possession, after which they had disap-
peared.
Chapman maintained that he had con
veyed them to the Office Of the clerk of the
district court, and omitted to get receipt.
Commissioner Weller held Chapman in
$500 bailto appear before the United States
Circuit Courto The other accused were dis
charged,

Seventh Day.

Seventh Day.
The action taken by this convention at
| its previous meeting invested it with CON
| siderable more consequence. The doubtful
ones seemed to come to the conclusion that
these men did mean sensible and judicious
| business. Candidates, either directly or
| through their friends, have commenced
| placing their names before the members for
| consideration. The delegates reply in every
| case that they have selected q committee of
| fifteen to prepare a parish, municipal and
| legislative ticket, with instructions to weigh
| every qualification and every claim, with q
| view to presenting to the people an inyul-
| nerable ticket. In other words, each mem
Der of the committee is constituted a Dio-
| genes, and is sent into every corner of the
city and parish, and through every ward
| with his lantern lighted, searching for the
honest man.
The convention met at twelve o'clock
yesterday, General Campbell in the chair.
The roll was called, and a quorum
answered to their names.
The minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved
Mr.. Raynal, for the committee on confer
ence, reported progress and asked for

On the tenth instant the Protective Union
and the United Laborers' Association issued
the following notice, mention Of which has
on several occasions been made in the Re-
PUBLICAN:
Notice isohereby given to the public, coal
merchants, stevedores and contractors in
particular, that the Longshoremens Protec-
tive Union and United Laborers' Chartered
Societies do, on the seventeenth day of Oc-
tober, 1872, strike for wages and regRlar
hours of work, fer this reason: that it is
evidently known that some years back the
sum. Of 81 so and So were as good to
poor man as S. OF $6 are at the
present day; rents were low, and
taxes low, and provisions and groceries
very cheap; but now it is just to the con-
trary; our rents, groceries and everything
are SO dear, We poor men can not tak8 so
much as a single dollar from our daily
wages to aid or support a sick wife or child,
or a sick friend, without depriving ourselves
Of the same amount of bread to eat; so,
therefore, we notify the public that on the
seventeenth day of October, 1872, we strike
for 81 per day, from the Barracks to Car
rolt0n.
Under our charter, Longshoremen's Pro
tectiye Union

TIE PATRIOTIC COURSE.

The defeat of the Customhouse ticket,
it is well understood, is of easy accom-
plishment, if only the opposition to it
were united in the effort to overthrow it.
The Liberal party, taking the initiative,
attempted to rally upon the simple issue
of opposition to Radicalism all of the con-
sentative elements in the State. Other
States did the same, and to-day, mall the
States except Louisiana, such a coalition
has been iniugurated with the most en-
couraging results.
Only in our own State have the purposes
in view been partially threatened with de-
feat. 1t proceeded from Incorporate folly
and partisan ambition. But, unless we
are greatly deceived, the folly of the
course pursued by the Reform and Demo-
cratic committees has been clearly de-
monstrated to them. They may at first
have been led astray by witnessing the
enthusiasm of the opposition to the Rad
icaIs. Possibly they thought that this en-
thusiasm might be made to subserve their
purposes, forgetting thatabsTact Demo
cratic principles were not rallying senti-
ments for Republicans. True they had
many ideas in common. But these were
reflected, not original ideas. Besides the
Democratic party in this State particu-
larly was led by men not calculated to
inspire public confidence. They had been
known as ofice-seekers for years, and
cared little what were the means employ
ed so they reached the goal Of their
hopes. Under these circumstances, it is
not surprising that the nominations made
by the Democratic and Reform commit
tees failed to awaken the popular respect
and confidence indispensable to success.
The people refused to indorse them. The
public regarded it as trick to cheat them
out of the great reformatory measures
they were determined on securing. To
do this they must select their own candi-
dates. This could only be done by con-
vention composed of every shade Of po-
itical opinion opposed to Radical su-
premacy
The initial steps were taken to do this.
Organizations were formed, and primary
meetings called where Democrats. Re
formers and Liberal Republicans came to-
gether and consulted as to the course to
be pursued. 1t resulted in the determine
| ton to call the August convention. But
one principle allied them: Opposition to
the Grant Customhouse ascendencv, and
the correction of political abuses. The
honest people of all parties could meet on
this doctrine and shake hands. The
proposition was everywhere applauded,
and has gone through the State winning
the approval and inspiring the confidence
and hopes Of the people for good and
success. The convention meets to put
good ticket before the people for their suf-
frages in November. That ticket will be
pledged to the principles Of the Cincinnati
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-25

platform, and in accord with the nomi-
nees of the conventions of Baltimore and
Cincinnati. This course simplifes all
issues, and gets rid of all partisan or local
differences. 1t unites Democrats and Re
pubicans in cordial cooperation.
1t arrays on one side the Radicals-on
the other an honest and patriotic people,
looking to the good of the State and q
pure administration of public affairs.
What shall hinder this admirable con-
summation? There is but one impediment
in the way 1t is of but little consequence
certainly, it offers, by its antagonistic
policy, but a comparatively trifing i'm
pediment- still an impediment.
We mean the united State ticket.
As it is, it can possibly do no good
accomplish no possible good pur-
pose, and but little harm; but it is the
only pebble in the way of Liberal unity.
But having ostensibly the same ends in
view, why should that ticket remain to
clog the Liberal movement? Hopeless of
success themselvee they should give way
to those who can secure it. 1t would be
patriotic in them to get out of the way.
Let Messrs. McEnery, Jonas & Co., re-
sign the canvass. They are effecting moth
ing, save an illustration Of how foolish
folly may become. The ineffective jolts
they are giving the opposition are re-
garded as little as Don Quixiote's assault
upon the windmill Their influence now,
when it is recollected with what eager
haste they seized upon their nominations
is as idle wind, but when stimulated by
patriotism and united with the great Lib.
eral movement, will be powerful and con-
trolling. For their own sake, therefore,
we advise the patriotic course.
