National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1873-06-10

With earnest fidelity to the traditions Of
their party the Democratic members Of the
House Of Delegates voted against the bill ap-
propriatIng 500, 900 to reimburse the Board
uf Public Works for the deficiency occaslOnod
by tho payment Of commissions, &C., In
negotiating the four-milllon loan. Messrs,
Campbell and Brewer, on the Republican side
Of the House, also voted against 1t, and Mr..
Mcknight was absent. We arc told that Mr..
Campbell was Influenced, not by any direct
opposition to the bill, but by belief that
certain explanations should have preceded
It's passage. While VIC are willing to believe
that he was prompted by the best OF mo-
tiyes, VIC cannot forbear the uttoranco Of
further belief that he has allowed these
motives to warp his better judgment,
and 10 Induce him to make q record
against the progressive spirit Of tho commu-
nifty with which he ought to be In full accord
Regarding Mr.. Brewer we have but little to
say lie was elected for another purpose
than to ally himself with the opposition. Ills
constituents should bear in mind that he has,
by captious opposition, attempted 10 delay a
settlement Of long-pendlng accounts between
the board and Its contractors, which, when
completed, will rebound to the benefit Of our
Iaboring people. The bill now goes to the
Council, whcro we arc assured the force oi
It's equity will insure It's immediate consider
alton and speedy progress,

THE HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.

Among our Letters from the People" this
morning will be found communication rs.
sailing the Board Of Health for alleged arbl.
tFary exercise Of power. weprint It to give
the other side Of the great question which has
been so graphically described in our columns,
and which comprehcnds the sanitary condi
iion OF the District, together with the means
hy which immunity from pcstllencc may be
reached. There may be some grounds for
these complaints and assaults, but VIC arc Of
the opinion, based upon an intimate knowl-
edge OF tho facts, that DR.. Bliss has carefully
and judiciouSly exercised the limited power
vested In him as acting health officer for the
general good. lie may have erred, but II he
has II has been on the safe side, and his judg-
ment should be accepted in preference to that
Of unprofessional people. We may add that
II Is now evident that we arc threatened with
the epidemic scourgo OF cholera during the
present summer. 1t has already made its ap-
pcarancc in the larger cities OF Tennessee and
In New 0rlc ans. The question naturally
arises, ".lrc We prepared for it1' We can
answer from personal observation that our
Board Of Health has usod Its utmost en-.
doavors to place US in proper condition, but
several things yet remain to be done. They
arc, to provide means FOR the abatement Of
"nulsanccs injurious to public health" Let
the Legislature act on this suggestion with
out delay.

MASSACRE OF DEFESCELBss FRS.
ONERS

4 portion Of the Oregon volunteers have
taken tho Law in their own hands, and have
massacrcd number Of Modoc prisoners.
Public sentiment In tho East will be outraged
at the reception Of the news Of this unfortu-
nato affair, and only the widest prejudice,
which no doubt exists In our border commu-
mites, can Justify IL. The result will bo q re-
yulsion Of sentiment, and q feeling Of unde-
served sympathy will be aroused In favor Of
Captain Jack and his associates. II will give
TO the enemies Of tho border people hook
on which to hang further and more conyinc-
ing arguments than they have yet been able
to offer to prove that tho sayages arc not
alone responsible for the seemingly irrcprcss-
iblo conflict which has cost go many valuable
lives. However much the victims Of the
massacre may have deserved their fate, the
cowardly manner by which they wero put 10
death deserves the seycrest reprobatlon, and
the implicated parties should receive lmme'
dlatc punishment. In no other way can the
Government maintain the consistency Of lts
determination to punish the murdcrer Of
Gen. Candy aud DR.. Thomas. What adds to
the hclnous character of the crime is the fact
that the murdered warriors are known to
have been guiltless Of any greater crime than
regularly organized war against the Govern
ment. The dispatches are, as usual from
that source, bunglingly written, aud give hui
a disconnected statement Of the affair.

"IleferTing TO the captured ModOcs and their
probable fate, the Washington REPUBLICAN says;
'Unfeeling and unthinking cynics may suggest
that they should be sent TO the Harrisburg Legis-

Legislature as model body, we may safely
cam for II that II Is at least as deserving OF that
dlstinction as the Albany Legislature or any
other State Legislature that we wot OF, and a
little more 80 than the District Legislature at
Washington, II the accounts OF its proceedings
which have fallen under our observation are cor
rect"
In this way the Harrisburg Telegraph de-
fends the reputation Of the Legislature Of
Pennsylvania. We know that II Is poor wit
and boys wit TO say ''you are another" and
therefore we presume that the Telegraph Is
In earnest and does not intend TO be funny.
We answer that our Legislature Is far from
being perfect, and that 1t might be as imper-

do not think II would. II has 60 little 10 do,

that we have ever said about the Harrisburg
Legislature, aud In the future shall proclaim
II to be the most immaculate body Of the
kind in the country. We shall insist that
none Of Its members would carry of unmur-
muriugly and clandestinely a rod-hot paper

take drink Of Bladensburg whisky. Yet

LoUIsIANA-BLooDY OUTBREAK.

A serious riot has broken out in Grant
Parish, Louisiana, on the upper waters of the
Red River. The instigators Of the riot, ac>
corlieg TO the ststement published in the
New Orleans Ffcoyune. were two negroes,
both members OF Kelogg's Legislature, Who,
with band of negroes, took forcible possess
sion of Colfax, the county seat of Grant Par
ish, ousted the authorities. drove all the white
men frota the place, and broke into'and plun>
dered their houses. Those cclored men who
did not sympathize with the 1narauders we're
also driven off. The house Of Mr. Hadnot
was entered by the ruffians, and the coffin,
containing dead child, was taken away and
broken open, under the impression that money
was secreted in it. The body of the child
was left exposed on the road, until it was re-
placed by other parties aud returned to the
house. In the meantime it appears that Mr..
Hadnot had made his escape, and collecting
band of twenty-five men notified the negroes
intended to attack them. The later news
brought to New Orleans by the steamer South
western furnished the bloody sequel The
negroes, to the number of some four hundred,
thoroughly armed, entrenched themselves in
the court house and built breastworks. On
Sunday IIadnct's force had been increased to
hundred and fifty men drawn from the sur
rounding parishes. The breastworks were
stormed and taken after two hours fighting,
and the negroes then took refuge in the court
house, barricading the doors. Fighting was
then resumed, but at later hour the negroes
threw out Gag of truce, but fred on the be-
siegers they advanced. wounding several,
and among them Mr.. Hadnot mortality
Finding it impossible to dislodge the negroes
by force of arms, the courthouse was set on
fire, and as they came out from the burning
building they were shot down by the infuri-
ated whites. 1t is estimated that one huns
dred negroes were killed. The others, taking
to fight, were holly pursued. Such is the
account which we publish of this sanguiuary
affair. 1t is the first fruits of the obstinate
policy Of General Grant, in recognizing a
State government which the Senators who
most steadiastly support him, have declared
to be illegally constituted.

marauding around the neighborhocd of tho
lava beds south of Tue or Rhett Lake The
ou.rages on the settlers became SO frequent

battles we're fought, and resulting in the res

made by Colonel Gilem, commanding force
of three hundred men, some sig weeks since
The nature of the country was evidently un-
known to the commanding officers, for with
this small number they undertook to storm
the Indian stronghold, meeting with sharp
defeat. Thereafter it was resolved to push
forward the means for attsining peace upon a
double basis. Three hundred additional troops.
under Gen. Candy, were hurried forward to
punish the indians, and full peace commits
sion was organized to pacity them. In the
meantime the Indians made rally, but were
repulsed. Before the troops moved again the
nezo.i&tions were opened. Arrangements
were speedily made for surrender. in which
the Indians were to be protected from the en-
ragged Oregonians and transported to some
reservation. A day was appoi ted and agreed

Captain Jacks baggage over the rough
