The Shreveport .Sc0ssrge.

On Monday last Messrs. c.. b. Stewart
and Francois Boulliotte, two of the young
men who went to Shreveport sometime
since retuin ned. They were not allowed to
land or remain in town, but We saw Mr.
Stewart in the country day or two since,
and the informa ton he gives US relative to
the scourge nowlprevailing in Shreveport,

heard, and which is also stated in an ex-
tract relative to the subject; which will be
found in another place, that tho fatal fever
there is not the yellow fever, but malarial
one, caused by the removing of the raft
aggravated by local causes, such as the
stencil arising from the carcases of large
number of cattle, drowned by the sinking
Of q steamboat. Mr.. Stewart informs US
that there were cases of persons dropping
down in the street, and dying before they
could be removed, and that the day he left
twenty deaths occurred. Every one had
left who could leave, and there were not
enough well people left to take care of the
sick.
Mrs. Lindsay, v-ifo of Col. Lindsay, of
Shreveport, and another passenger, died on
the boat coming down.

Commenting upon the election frauds al.

Orleans Herald of the 18th inst, in the
course of it remarks upon the matter, uses
the following frank and commendablc Ian.

Assuming that such dispositions have

that the frauds here sworn to were perpe-
trated by and originally known to the very

that # snch frauds rs are here charged were

THE LATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Ham

THE LATE ATTORNEY GENERAL HARRrs.
The Louisville Courier-Journal ofthe 10Th
inst, publishes the following in regard to
the late District Attorney Harris:
General Harris, SO ruthlessly murdered
in Louisiana day before yesterday, was a
brother of Rev. George c. Harris, of St.
Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, of this
city. The deceased gentleman was a native
of this State, and graduated from the Ok
ford University in 1852, entering immedi-
ately upon the practice of his profession, in
which he very soon reached high position.
Although a Democrat in politics, he was at
tine time of his death State district attor
ney, place to which he had been elected
by a large vote of his district, the people of
which gave him their confidence to an up
usual degree. To his brother we extend
onr sincere coincidence upon bereavement
that will be felt by the community where
his murdered brother resided only less than
by his immediate family.

There lisa great deal said, recently, about
the prospects of President Grant, and a
third term. The opposition papers are very
much exercised at the prospect; and some
of them that have favored a monarchy, are
afraid he will be Emperor or King, in case
he is elected third time to the Presiden-
cy. There is nothing in tine Constitution
or laws of the United States prohibiting a
man from holding the Presidency for life
provided he is elected every four years. 1t
occurs to us that there is nothing ahead to
be frightened at. Suppose Grant shout be
again elected in 1876, he would not, and
could not establish monarchy if he want
ed to. With an army Of twenty five thou
sand men, which cannot be increased with
out the consent of Congress, George Fran
els Train has as good q prospect to be En-
peror or King, as President Grant. Worse
might happen the country than the re-elec-
ton of Grant. He has mado very good
President so far, and if his administration
has not been noted for its brilliancy, it has
no great blunders 70 account for. The
South especially has nothing 10 gain by
worryinying itself into fever on this sub
ject. Grant will, and can do more for the
South, in another term, than any other man.
With a Louisiana Vice President. the South
ought to be satisfied with Grant foc third

came to the river and hesitated about at
tempting to ford it. as We saw the wide ex-
panse of rushing waters. There is no bridge
anywhere along there, 50 after some indeci-
sion he concluded to swim his horse across.
Spying a boy fishing in a small punt tied
to the bank, he said:
"Hello, bubw

"Can get you to take my clothes across
the river in your boat!n

"All right. I'll give You quarter to take

opposite shore"
To this the boy nodded assent, the stran-
ger disrobed, turned over the carpet-sack
and habiliments to the Juvenile, who pad
died out into the stream, and mounted his
horse, prepared to swim the river and enjoy
the luxury ola bath. With a splash at
every movement; the horse stepped into the
stream, and walked across-the water was
nowhere more than eighteen inches deep!
To say that that medicine man, perched on
the back of his horse, was man of iniqui-

ly do justice to the occasion. There were
enough "dams" along the MERGED that after
noon to supply q hundred mill-sites.

The Shreveport Epidemic.

1t is by no means clear that yellow fever
is the dread disease which is no W so severe
ly affecting Shreveport. 1t appears to be
well authenticated that several persons
have dropped dead on the street. with this
fearful plague, having no symptoms of vel
low fever. In fact sudden deaths like these
reported are unknown in our long expert
ence of that disease.
Several plausible theories for this ploqxe
are current on our streets. One is that the
drowned cattle from the two steamboats,
which recently overturned got into an eddy
near the city, and were pulled ashore and
skinned, their putrid carcass Is being left
on the banks to poison the atmosphere
both above and below Shreveport.
Another theory is that the tislodging of
the great raft has let loose inn ense guam
titles of decayed vegetable matter which
eliminates maiarial poisons all along the
course of Red river until all is absorbed by
the atmosphere.
We hear also that circus Company from
Mexico, which performed at Shreveport ten
days, lost three of its members, the first
to die there of this peculiar but fatal all.

Whatever may be the real disease 80 wo-

with its origin, should be fully made

self.

Mr.. Jefferson's idea that the negro after
freedom would become intolerable in the
South, because of his recollection Of the
ten thousand wrongs" he had formerly en-
dured, is 30 far disproved that if there Is
anything most remarkable of the present
temper Of the negro, it is the kind memory
he retains of slavery. But it is needless to
accumulate reasons for an illustration OF
fact SO patent as the progress of the negro
since emancipation, and the agreeable man
ner in which he has contradicted the worst
fears of the South. Emancipation is sue
cess, and the South may be more ready to
acknowledge it when she understands what
tribute this fact implies to the past insti-
tuition of slavery. For the success of eman-
cipation is not only of the virtue of eman-
cipatiOn, but of the virtue of the slavery
which preceded it; showing that such
slavery was not the unmitigated evil that
the North had supposed it to be, that it had
benefit even beyond those which the
South in the past had claimed for it; prov
cd, and proved triumphantly, from the fact
Of its producing the negro such as the North
claims him to be-a citizen worthy of the
suffrage and all civic trusts-from the ne
gro such as the world saw him century
ago-a breechless barbarian, and very
nondescript on the borders of humanity!
The retrospect concerning slavery from
that standpoint of observation which the
South and the North alike now reached, In
full of beautiful and even sublime instruc-
tions. We see now the visible footprints
of Providence, and a way so clear that
there should no longer be shadow of mis-
construction or of debate on the history of
anti-slavery in America. There was time,
as has been noticed, just after the war,
when there continued to be some debatable
ground; but even that is now gone, and
there should be no longer anything to dis
cuss between the North and South except
mutual congratulations that slavery did its
work SO well in the past, and that emanci-
patton does its work so well in the present.
The South only asks that certain histori-
cal justice be done her; that it be now
clearly perceived that her own party of
anti-slavery had not only real existence,
but juster view in its day than had the
Northern party of anti-slavery and that,
with all its weaknesses aud shortcomings,
it yet deserves an honorable place in the
national records of a great moral mission
concerning the negro, which yet continues.
