THE "CHIEF" INDEPENDENT.

The above is the caption Of a
article in the DonaldsonvMe Chic
Our rural, but not, cerddns coteu
porary can no further 60 with til
il-liberal Democracy. They won:
even treat his paper as they do thei
own. Ho is tee-tolly dissatisfied
disappointed and Disguised. Rea'
what ho says:
"We drop the fusion ticket fron
the head of columns this week, TO
reasons satisfactory to ourselves
and we hope to our readers.
I'm the first place, whilo the Nev
Orleans papers are paid for insert
ing the ticket as for an advertise
mcnt, the Chief must do it gratai
tously or not ut ALL. We chose til,
latter alternative.
Secondly, as we intimated in {
previous article, the ticket is by nc
means such a one as we desired tt
see chosen, and does not represent
the intent or spirit Of the National
Liberal movement, which wo sup
port. The Chief is, as it. claims to
be, a Liberal Rpnhlican newspaper,
and hence can not consistently lend
its undivided efforts to secure the
success of candidates who stand
upon q Democratic platform of prin-
ciples as enuniciated by the Demo-
cratic Central Committee.
"Ihe fact OF our refusing to ad-
herence to the Fusion ticket as a
whole, must not be construed as i'll
dicating that VIC will support the
Kellogg ticket. Our position with
regard to State and parish affairs
is analogous. There are: men upon
both tickets whom we respect and
admire, aud whose success we could
labor for consc'entiously and hearth
and there are also men upon
both tickets whose election we
should regard as indicative Of no
good.
"During the present political cam
the Chief will continue its ad-
herenco to the cause of National
Liberal Republicanism, a. repre-
sented by the Greeley and Brown
but as regards. other matters
will endeavor to be an independent
Journal, impartial and reliable in all
Regretting that causes have
arisen which compel Us to stand
upon this neutral ground, We never
theless occupy it with q firm con-
that our course ia right, az
t is certainly taken in accordane6

district will 60 largely Republica,
in the approaching elections.
This is cheering news, and it i
gratifying to learn Of the promi
nent part taken ID the CANVASS b,
the gentleman whose name heads
this article. AT a large and enthu'
siastic meetingsheld recently in one
Of the clubs of the parish, MIR
Brewster delivered an elaborate and
highly interesting address justifyine
the attachment Of co'ored men o.
Louisiana to Republicanism on the
ground Of the treatment of this race
by the Democrats in the first Legis.
lative enactments and general treat
ment Of the negroes Of this State
after the war was over.
At the close Of his address, (Which
occupies sixteen columns Of the
supplement OF the Equal Rights
newspaper J the speaker said: h.
II told you when I commenced
that / would explain why the col
ored voters cling to Republicans
and refuse to support the nominees
of the Democratic party, I have
now done so fully and fairly, not
by giving my own words and opin-
ions, but my quoting from Demo-
Gratis high in authority; and if the
party is misrepresented, it is done
not by myself but by the Democrats
themselves. Aud members Of that
party. instead of asserting that I
am trying to create a prejudice be-
tween white and colored, should
first make their complaints to the
leadi ,g Democrats who have enac-
ted oppressive laws to bind the poor
and who declared their intention OF
the just laws enacted by
the Republican party whenever
they have the power. I believe
firmly that the day will come, when
the principles advocated by the Re-
party, will be adopted in
good faith by a large majority of the
in the South-when the two
races will work together for the
good of all, in peace and harmony.
I believe the next election will show
that Democracy is changing for the
that. large number are COM
ing a little nearer to our faith than
over before, but they will have to
produce a much better record than
hat I have shown to-day, before
can expect the support of the
voters of the State.

**usRAND ABUSE OF 1HE
/. ! P1sro1

Il ro1
Ihe4comhunity has again been
startled from it's propriety byanothe'
deed Of blood: Patrollman Bennett
while on duty on Wednesday last
shot, and instantly killed a brothe,
patrollman Mccormack, off duty,
near the Registration Office in the
Second Ward Of this City. The &C.
cused claims to have acted under
apprehension that the deceased who
was abusing and threatening him
would shoot him as he made a mo-
ton as it to draw a weapon. But
as far as has yet appeared, whether
this be so or not, deceased ran away
after the first t'snap" Of Benefits
pistol, but accused fired two or three
shots one of which struck McCor-
mack in the heart. Accused is lock-
ed up in the first precinct station.
The Times commenting on this
affair on Thursday says:
"We trust that this will be another
lesson to u authorities in regard to put
ting arms on the police. Take away
those deadly revolvers and thus remove
the temptation to use them on every oc-
casion."
We hope it will be no such thing.
The argument against the use Of a
thing on account of its occasional
abuse is SO fallacious as only to need
mention to secure refutation. Why
is not the use of strychnino and
morphine prohibited? Don't peo-
pie poison themselves with them?
Why are razors ana knives not for
hidden? don't people cut their own
and other people's Threats with them?
We admit it is lamentable that the
of the community should
be such as to require chat men,
with the preservation of
the peace, and the patrolling neigh
infested with drunken,
reckless, dangerous thieves and cut
throats, and at all hours Of the day
and night exposed to peril, should
be so equipped, but it is absolutely
necessary, that if they have to deal
with dangerous characters they
have some show of protect
ing their own lives from the assas-
sin.
It is dep1orable that too many
nen forget the only purpose for
which arms are given them, as we
nave had instances of o fleeing
;hief, a running boy, or an escap-
ng prisoner being shot. IT our big
would lecture the po-
icemen on the purpose of arming
if he would urge on the police
authorities the necessity Of impress
ing on the minds Of policemen that
he arms they carry are only and ex-
to save their own lives when
in imminent peril, if he would
ndeavor to create in the popular
mind a greater degree Of respect for
he policemen" if he would advo-
ate the stringent enforcement Of
he law against carrying concealed
'eapons we could cordially
clasp hands," (if he would let u.s.
ut we can't join in the clamor to
disarm" the police. And after oil
may turn out that patrollman
had fair and just grounds
" apprehension, and may have
:uly, as he has stated in his cell,
cted on the spur Of the moment
elievine from McCormack's
,nguage and conduct, that he was {
and meant to do him mis- l
,ief. {

MAHoMET AND THE NOUN.

McGnery:-
another reason which many planters
give for preferring MI. Kellogg is this,
that they are tired OF the political classi6.
cation that divides parties into black mer
and white men, and as the colored people
will not come to them, they see no bette,
way to break down the evil than by going
to their opponents They COMES that the
negroes are bound to support Grant and
Kellogg, and in order to convince them
that they are NOT their sworn enemies, they
intend to vote with them. By this means
they hope to unity the people Of all classes,
SO that hea-after men will vote according
principle, and not according to color, as
both classes have done heretofore"
"The colored people will not come
to them" Is there not abundant
cause for colored people to refuse
to entrust their civil and political
status to the safe keeping Of a party
that in its every breath, curses, de-
nounces, excludes and proscribes
them? Certainly there is, and if the
thinking planters confess that the
negroes are bound to support Grant
and K.llosyg' the recognition Of the
reasons why they are SO bound
must urge the white people Of tho
State sooner or later to ADOPT such
a policy, if from no higher motive
than se]f-interest, as will secure. a
union Of all the people in one COM
mon bond; for one common purpose.
The colored people have no hates
and revenges in their reticence and
in avoiding Democrats
and Democracy, they are taking care
Of their liberties and privileges, and
as soon as the white people unmis-
takably exhibit q disposition to re-
ceive the -''colored people" as they
are, and become color blind, and
the distinctions founded
on slavery and on the "color" Of al
skin, SO soon will colored people
hail it as q millennium and rush to
that unity and ~identity which will
not only tend to ameliorate and i'm
prove the political, civil and social
status of the people, bat also abol-
Ssh the accursed classification that
parties into black men and
white men,"
We have heard much in the re-
:ent Liberal Juror of the desire to
these distinctions, but the
little .leaven" was not enough for
he whole lump, and sagacious col
'red MEN were admonished thereby
hold aloof yet awhile. Now, if
he white people take the initiative
n the shape Of aiding the Repubh-
party in the election Of it's can
lidatea, thus securing pea6e. pro-
ection, reform and honesty, Why it
I'LL not be long before the jealousies
nd suspicious which now keep
he. races. apart viii Be abolished.

JOSEPH G. CORBIN, ESQ.

This gentleman is tho nominee Of
tue Republican party Of the State 0;
Arkansas, for the position of Su-
perintendent of Public instruction
in that State. From every indica-
ton we observe, and from all the
adyices we receive there is no doubt
that the Republicans will carry the
State by a large majority on Nov.
s, and thus place Mr.. Corbin at the
head of the educational interests
Of Arkansa les. Mi. Corbin is eminent
~ qualified for the. place. He pos
sesses g large. amount Of natural
ability which has been improved by
hard study and instruction in the
University Of Ohio, in which he gra-
duatel in 1853. He was q teacher in
Louisville in the sold days" for nearly
twelve years, during which periodic I,
bysedulous labor, acquired eligibility
for admission to college, and when
about twenty years Of age he gradu-
ated with second honors. On his
return to Cincinnati, his native place
he was made a member Of the
School Board, in which capacity he
usefully and satisfactorily served for
two years.
When the "Colored Citizen news
paper started there, Mr.. Corb'n be-
came it's editor, and, we believe, for
seven years welded the pen in the
advocacy Of popular rights, the eause Of
education and the general improve
ment Of his people. He removed
to Arkansas about three years ago,
and from his answering devotion
to Republican principles. his exhi-
bition Of special and general fitness
for honor and ;trnst. the Republicans
Of his adopted home have conferred
on him to- the above named posi-
ton. We congratulate cur. friends
Of Arkansas on their selection, and
we wish the candidate success. Mr..
Corbin. j. . :colored man. IL, :4s

back some large orders for iron, for ma-
rine purposes, reached London from the
italian Government, but were withdrawn on
account of the terms demanded, and trans.
ferred to France. where they were promptly
