ON CARONDELET STREET.

What the news upon the streets had to do
with stocks would have been settled easily
enough by those who were present on the
corners. The news was the sole topic of

merits Of different obligations, one found

a very wide field have had their paper out
during the past few months, which promises
to deliver to bearer certain number of

the holders are not without hope that some

serve to show to how great an extent poiti-

more firm. and shows tendency TO sickle.
Operations in gold are heavy. sudden

The most brutal and dastardly outrage
was this morning perpetrated by two
drunken sergeantsat-arms of the Carter
Legislature. Infatuated with the abundant
supplies of whisky furnished at the Gem.
these rutfians at an early hour this morning
forced an entrance into the res idencc OF
Nine Rnggold, No. 3 Cont street,
whose son. Hon Charles w. Ringgold. is a
Republican member of the House of Rep
resentatives.
Assurances that Mr. Ringgold was not at
home were unheeded. and they pushed
rudely up stairs, entering the apartments of
guests in the house, and finally reaching the
acme of insult and cowarlly outrage by
wantonly desccrating the bedrooms of Mrs.
Ringgod, and of her daughter, young
lady of about twenty years of age
How long, o powers that be. must peace

Illegal and dastardly intrusion upon Mrs.

prove to be, retributlon awaits them at no

Even the strongest sympathizers with the

The New Attorney General.

A Washington special to the Louisville
CoWrier-JOuouot says:
The new Attorney General has addressed
a letter to Senator Poole, of North Carolina
assuring him that certain citizens OF his
State are mistaken when they assume to
create the impression that the late change
in the office Of Attorney General indicates
on the part of the administration an abate-
ment of vigor in prosecuting offenders under
the recent legislation Of Congress to enforce
the rights of citizens. He adds that the
President was satisfied with the zeal Of
Attorney General Akerman in prosecuting
the Ku-klux, and states that if any one
who conntcnances the crimes of that organ
ization expects any favors from his sue
cessor in office they are doomed to signal
and bitter disappointment He trusts that
the people of the South will assist the
public authorities in restoring peace. bat, If
unreasoning and defiant crimes makes 1t
necessary, he declares that the President IS
determined to use all the power which Is
placed i'll his hands to protect the life and
property of peaccabic citizens. and main

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The most brutal and monstrous outrage
was perpetrated this morning. between the
hours of A. NJ. and A. NJ, by about fif-
teen persons, purpOrting to be assistant ser
geants-at-arms of the Carter faction, by
forcing an entrance into the residence of
Mrs. Morphy, No. l3 St Anthony street,
Third District, whose son, L. c. Morphy, is
a Republican member of the House of Rep
resentatives. Notwithstanding that Mrs.
Morphy informed the parties that her son
was not present, they informed her that
they would break the doors unless they
were admitted. Thereupon the doors
were opened, and the bedrooms of
several young ladies were desecrated and
the ladies therein ins ulted. Not content. in
not finding their prey, these lawabiding
desperadoes, encouraged by moments
pretended authority, and instilled by spr-
ituUus liquors, went to the residence of
family frequented by Mr.. E. c. Morphy.
and demanded admission, at No. l03 ST. An
thony street
The lady informed them that Mr.. Morphy
was not present, and politely requested
them to retire. Being too much infatuated
at not finding victim to assaseinate, On
prentense of authority, they forced an en-
trance, and ransacked every room and
nook in the premises, going SO far as to
raise the bed clothing OF a young lady
about seventeen years Of age, daughter of
the hostess, whose father has been deceased
scarcely a month. 1t must be made known
that the parties entering the premises held
in their hands ready cooked reviewers.
