Gen. G. T. Beauregard has issued an ad-
TUESDAY, JULY s. 1878.

Gen. G. T. Beauregard has issued an ad-
dress to the people of Louisiana, in relation to
his action in the new party movement in that
State. He says his object was, by frank
and cordial concession of absolute and practi-
cal civil as we'll as political equality between all
citizens, without discrimination on account OF
race or COLOR to secure the regeneration OF
the State. He was led to take the step by
the denial, during series of years, OF the
claims of the colored citizens for equal rights,
thus arraying the two races almost sohd'y III
bitter political hostility to each other He
thinks that the experiment of self:government
on the basis of impartial suffrage demands
fair trial. and SO long as the white people as
sumo position antagonistie to the colored men,
if harm results, the blame is not due to the
system, but to the white people themselves
Gen. Beauregard laments that the State has
fallen under the control of artful and selfish ad-
yenturers, who have obtained their power
through the division of the two races. He de-
MES that he wishes to involve in the plan he
proposes any question about social equality
and says that his aim is Ito free Louisiana
from 'carpet-bag' rule, and the improper inter
ference of the Federal Government in State
affairs"

IND1A.-A telegram from Bombay reports
the occurrence of an agraran Communist ris-
ing or revolt, by the Hindoo peasantry of the
Poopah district. The disafected people re-
fuse to pay their rent. They have congregated
together and proceeded to the commission of
overt acts against the constituted authorities.
Several houses have been pundered and burn
ed. The police have been engaged with rowing
parties of the agtators and succeeded 10 dis
persipg the bands at different points of collision
That the mind of the Ang!o-ludian nativist
population is deeply agitated, and that 1t has
been been so during some years past, is patent to
the world. That distinguished soldier, Lord
Napier, of Magdala, has confessed the tact OH
cay and warned the government IN Downing
street Of the danger which attends It's existence.
Great Britain has to deal with most lniam-
mable mind in her Asiatct teESk3Gy. War
statements such as those Wild t result
from the progress Of the Russian Ndeance on
Khiva are likely to be extensively circulated
and vastly and dangerously exaggerated IN
India, country in which socialism OF the most
radical class is making great progress. 1t may
be, also, that Russian propagandlsts, of
politco- religious stripe, have been active among
the people just of late.-N ?. HcraM

A SpIRlTUALIsTs FUNERAL-Therc was
yesterday afternoon large number of persons
present, in Lyceum Hall, to witness the some
what unusual features of the funeral of Spiri-
tuast The deceased was Richard 6. Litziu-
ger, and old and highly esteemed citizen who
has for many years been known as believer In
the Spiritualists philosophy. For two years
or more the deceased had been confined to a
sick bed and knew that be could not recover.
He is said to have retained his CONSCIOUSNESS
up almost to the last moment aud when not
racked with pain he was uniformly cheerful
The Lyceum choir sang Ring the bell Softly, y
and them Mr. Weaver, the President of the
Harmonial Society, introduced Mrs. Rachael
Walcott who spoke for nearly an hour upon
the Immortality Of the soul, the duties of life,
and the comfort Of knowing that the links that
blind US to the departed are not broken but
that the dead still live and sympathize with aud
may be near US She spoke of the natural
sorrow at the separations caused by death, and
showed that through the tears one might see the
bright forms of angel friends The spirit Of
her discourse was thoughtful and sympathetic
The choir sarg The Angels told Me So, y
and then after the audience had walked round
and taken a last farewell look of the dead body
the coffin was carried out, and the carriages
being filled the funeral proceeded to the ceme-
terry, where the remains were deposited without
further ceremony. Baltimore 4inaer1can.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS. The New York
Times takes very hopeful view Of the bust
ness outlook, despite the present depression IN
trade. 1t says:
1.-The healthy condition of our industries al
most insures Us against any real financial dis
trcss Our present enormous production Of
coal and its use in productive labor alone proves
this. 1t is not manufacturers, but merchants
who complain; our productive industries are
hourishiDg despite the severity of the money
pinch during the whole Of last fall and winter
and the failure OF country banks to afford any
thing like their usual accommodations to their
customers. There has been no distress 10 any
of our large manufacturing towns, except in
making their collections, and some of our in-
dustres-iron for instance-have been prosper
Gus beyond precedent. There never was an
hour when ,heIcountry created anything like as
much substantial wealth as now, and this is
the only foundation of real business prosperity
son the whole, then, it seems probable that
diminished stocks in the fall will secure buyers;
that unless there is an extreme demand from
Wall street the money market will not be as
runously close as it has been during the past
three years; that Europe is more likely to send
money here than to drag it away; and that We
can hope for fair business season-a harbin-
ger of better things to come.

TIE RAILROAD. The New York Daily
Bulletin of the 4th inst. has the following 10
regard to certain rumorcd new railroad combi-
nations. The New York railroad kings are
fully alive to the importance Of extensive co.,
nection with the producing districts Of the
Great West:
Iu the stock market the most important mat
ter was report that the clique which corner
ed, last autumn, the Common stock Of the Chi
cago and Northwestern, and which have since
held large majority of it, have privately dis
posed OF their interest in it to a new party,
which includes strong railroad men who have
in view extending their railroad interests west
Of Chicago Whether this refers to the New
York Central party or to the PennsyVa-
MIA Central party, We do not know The et-
feet, however will probably be to euliven the
stock, which has been inactive ever since the
corner last fall The death of Mr.. Horace T.
Clark has changed a good many plans, and
has put an end, for the present, at least, to
the grand scheme of line from New York to
the Pacific by way of the Erie, the Lake Shore
and either the Rock Island or the Northwest
ern and the Union Pacic-a plan which
might have taken years to develop, but which
existed. Now, if such combination is to be
made, the eastern link will either be the New
York Central and Lake Shore or the Pennsyl
vaDia Central and Fort Wayne. Commodore
Vanderbilt today accepted the Presidency Of
the Lake Shore, to which he was yesterday
elected
