QUI WYE.

We have had an intimation of a musical
event to come off in the near future, the very
thought of which excites within us such an
ecstacy Of delight that we can scarcely refrain
spite of promises of secresy-trom giving
the facts to our readers, outright, in order
that they may share with US, in anticipation,
the pleasure which is in store for us all. We
may state that no recent musical event of
which We have any knowledge can compare
with the treat now preparing for our critical
and fastidious public, in behalf of a cause that
will enlist the most cordial and enthusiastic
support of every lady and gentleman in the
community. We may state further that
the affair will be strictly recherche and en-
tirely non-protessional We shall keep our
readers upon the tip-toe of expectation as
short time as possible, and hope in day or
two to give them full particulars. Meantime,
let them possess their souls in patience, for
we promise their most extravagant hopes will
be realized.

Christening the Champion.

The boys of Crescent "a last night stood 81
sponsors for their champion machine.
At O'Clock eharp there was rally at the on
CINE house. and in fifteen minutes after the men
all in line, with their engine handsomely bur.
nished and tastefully decorated, under escort
were on the street, with fine band of music q,
their head. "The band began to play" and to
it's stirring strains the march began.
The place Of destination was the residence Of
F. Dudenhefer, Esq. on Love street, near Great.
man, which was reached in due time, and here
the christening ceremony took place. The name
bestowed on the engine was "Little Mary D. >
and the little lady herself officiaied.
We regret that our columns are too much
crowded to give her rem arks in full.
After partaking of the good things, which were
found provided by the little lady's father, Mr.
Dudenhefer, the company moved off.
After round trip about town and compliment.
ing the newspaper offices, the engine was put
away and trip to the lake was taken for the pur-
pose of discussing the supper which had been
spoken for by friends.
The boys had not returned at the time this
short chronicle Of the affair closed, and, conse-
quently, no record of proceedings there is given.

A WARLIKE DISPLAY.

The spectacle is presented to the world Of
the presence of the U. S. navy in front of the
city of New Orleans, and the army occupying
the State-House in time of profound peace
The question naturally suggests ITSELF why
this display of military force within the boun-
daries of this State? Louisiana is State in
the Union it is not in arms against the Fed
eral Government and we are at loss to know
why such extraordinary force should be ex-
hibited just at this particular moment?
The display is peurile and contemptibls.
We dc net dread the navy, nor have we any fear
for the srmy. We are not making war against
the United States, and hence the appearance
of misrepresentation ofthat government upon
the scene Of action, at this time is both IN
called for and impertinent. Our war is against
a government Of fraud and usurpation; gang
Of thieves and naaurauders; a band Of dispoil-
ere and assassins, who recognize no law and
yield to no authority, and in our crusade
against this band of reprobates let no one in
terfere or obstruct our purpose.
We will compel the country, through the
justice of our cause, to acknowledge the hon
esty and rectitude of our purpose when We
propose to enforce the recognition of these
rights and privileges which have been guaran-
teed to us by the Constitution of the land.
Then, let us have no more display of those
gunboats and this martial array. They play
the part of policemen only, and this is a duty
inconsistent with the dignity, honor and re.
spect of soldiers of the United States army.
We are loyal, but we are not serts, and the
whole Federal army cannot make us slaves Of
Kellogg and his usurpation.

OUR CANDIDATES FOR CORONER.

The Conservative Convention did we'll to
select two physicians for the responsible posi-
ton Of Coroner.
Dr.. Chastant, the candidate for the upper
part Of the city, is native Of Louisiana who,
after graduating in the Medical College OF
New Orleans, devoted five years in Paris to
the prosecution of his medical studies. Hav-
ing secured another diploma from the celebrat-
ed "Ecole de Medicine" he returned to this
city and was in the enjoyment Of fine prac-
tice when, on the breaking out Of the civil
war. he obeyed the call Of his native State,
and served through the war in the capacity of
Chief Surgeon under Beeuregard and John
sol's commands.
DE-. Chastant is an able physician, char
liable man and a true patriot, and his inhu-
entail family connections and his great per-
sonal popularity fully justify the choice of the
Convention.
Dr.. DeBlanc, the other candidate on our
ticket is rising young physician, and
belongs, like DR.. Chastant, to an old and
highly respected Creole family. The anony-
nous correspondent of the Times, who coolly
suggested that he ought to withdraw in favor
of Mr.. Wilt (who never dreamed of being
candidate for Coroner), simply exposed his
own ignorance Of our population supplement-
ed with good deal Of ignorance and impo-
font malice

THE CONSERVATIVES IN ALABAMA.

MONTGOMERY, Oct. T.-Col. Thomas B. Welt.
more, Chairman of the Executive Committee Of
the Democratic and Conservative Pan ty, of Sum-
ter county, and distinguished lawyer and promi-
nent citizen OF Alabama, was arrested at Living
ston to day, on charge Of conspiracy to injure
Detective Hester. ADemocratic meeting had been
advertised, and as it was about to assemble, this
arrest was made. This was the first Democratic
meeting that the citizens of Sumter county
have attempted to hold since Detective Hester
took control of that county, about three weeks
ago. There are two United States Commission
ers, both Republicans, in Livingston, but Welt
more is to be carried $50 miles, to Mobile, to be
tried before Commissioner Gillette. Detective
Hester has had the Sheriff posse of about fiftv
mon arrested for que,hng negro riot in Sumter,
and arrests are still being made

Great efforts have been made by the Radi-
ca! press to fill the minds of Northern people
with the belief that the organization OF
White Leagues at the South is designed to in
timidate the blacks, and eventually to deprive
them Of their rights. For six years past, the
black people of this State have been organized
into oath-boand secret political clubs, under
the control and direction of carpet-baggers,
who have sedulously and but too successfully
labored to SOW the seeds Of distrust and aver
victims of their dishonesty and rapacity.
These clubs strip their members of all freedom
of thought, and compel them to vote as they
are ordered under penalties that include even
the loss of life. Yet their existence provoked
no censure from the party that profted by their
action. But when at length the necessity for
a counteracting influence suggested the organ
ization OF White Leagues, and called them in
to existence, there arose from the Radical Or
gans a shout of condemnation and we'll affect
ed alarm at step, which they interpreted as
hostile to the liberty and lives of black men.
That black men are not free to think and
vote as they please, and that the White
Leaguers are not such enemies of the blacks
as their carpe!-bag leaders would have them
believe, are facts which received striking
illustration the other evening, when one of the
Democratic colored clubs Of the city marched
through the streets in procession, with torch
liphtS and a hand Of music At tha Snacia1
request of the members of the club, they were
attended on their march and until their return
to their homes, by body Of White Leaguers,
for the purpose OF securing them against as
pretended assaults by men of their own color,
but of different politics.

FIRE ON THE LOWER COAST.

A fire broke out yesterday morning on Live
Oak Grove Plantation, some twenty-five miles
below the city, by which the residence and it,
contents were entirely destroyed The lessee
Mr. J. W. Ross, and his family were awakened
| about o'clock in the morning by the cracking
OF flames and to find the stairs leading to the
ground floor already burned, and had barely
time to escape in their night clothes. Mr.. Ross
was compelled to throw his two children (girls.
aged three and five years), from the upper gal.
lery and to do the same with his wife. Luckily.
Col. Zacharie, his cousin, who was spending a
few days with him, was sleeping on the ground
floor, was enabled, by means Of a mattress.

Of their fall. Thus they barely escaped with
their lives, as in q few minutes the whole house
was one sheet Of fame.
The inmates saved absolutely nothing, az the
furniture, wearing apparel, jewelry and silver
ware were totally lost.
The plantation and buildings were the property
OF the Citizens Bank, and together with the fur
niture, ETC., were uninsured. Loss about SIO. 600
about $1,000 Of which will fall upon the lessee.
The sugar-house was at one time on fire from
sparks from the dwelling house, but through the
prompt attention of Mr.. r. and his hands. was
soon extinguished.
So rapid was the progress Of the flames on the
dwelling house, which was a wooden frame build

as it was, we would most probably have been
called upon to record the dreadful calamity in
the loss Of the whole family; as it was, they
barely escaped in time, but we are glad to add.
