4 SIMPLE RULE.-For accurately Com
putting Interest at any given per cent.
for any length of time.
Multiply the principal (amount of
money at intere st) by the time reduced
to days then divide this product by the
quotlent obtained by divideng $50 (the
number of days in the interest, year, by
the per cent. of interest, and the
quotient thus obtained, will be the re-
quired interest.
ILLUSTRATION.
Require the interest of 1852. SO for
one month and eighteen days, at 6 per
cent. An interest month is thirty days
one month and eighteen days equal 48
days. S462.5O multiplied by 48 gives
222.000O, $50 divided by 6, (per cent of
INTEREST," gives so, and 222OOOO divided
by so gives you the exact interet, which
is $40. IF the rate of interest in above
example were II per cent. we would
divide the 1922. 5000 by 80 because $50
divided BY II gives 3O); if per cent,
we would divide by 90; if 8 per cent,
by 45, and in like manner for any other
per cent.

miles long. From the city to the base
of the mountain-forlrteen miles-or-
binary rails will be used, but for the re-

ton by iron rails will be adopted. The
terminus, which will be within a few
steps of the crater, will be sunk twenty
metres under the lava. In case of erup-
ton the current would thus be turned
away from the rail, which throughout
it's whole course will be raised above the
level of the soil.

THE Republic, a Washington magazine,
presents some rather startling statistics
concerning the different wars in which
the United States has been engaged. In
the war of the Revolution OTIS TO 1888
27S, 021 soldiers were engaged; in the
war OF 1872 to 1915, 527, 654; in the
Mexican war, 70, 260-making q total of
S7S, 935-while in the war of 1860 no loss
than 2, 757 ,59S were engaged. During
the rebellion 279, $50 officers and men
were killed or wounded, while 6.T49
were missing III action. Since the COM
mencement of the war the government
has paid, up 10 June, 1874, III pensions,
over S251, 900, 900. Deducting $780,
600 for former pensioners, there is left
$246, 200, 900 growing out of the rebel
hon. Some idea of the number of pen
sions, and the amounts paid during
these twelve years may be gathered from
the following table:

THE REPUBLICAN ALARMED.

The late action of the people in the country
parishes in Kidding themselves of the thieving
Republican officials, has seriously disturbed
the equanimity Of the "offical organ" \
few weeks ago it thought to check this -s.ebel-
lious spirit, as it calls it, by proclainins the
approval of the act Of keIloggs menagesie.
making the parishes liable for all expenses in.
CURED in suppressing any disorder occurring
i'll them. Finding that the PRONUNCIATION o!
this feartuly savage law had not the desired
effect, the Republican launches out this morn
ing with the publication Of the GO riot act
In commenting upon it, the organ attempts
to show that the people have. in many in
stances, violated the provisions Of the law
and rendered themselves liable to arrest and
amenable to the courts. If Kellogg can
boast of government, why does he not
see that the laws are enforced? Why
does he not cause the arrest and punish
ment Of the guilty parties? If the local au-
thorities are powerless to do their duty in the
premises, why does he not reintoce them with
that gallant band Of janissaries yclept metro
politan police? Why does he not order
the sable and oleagi nous Barber to march at
the head of his African brigade and capture
st. Martin, Natchitoches Lincoln and other
obstreperous parishes? This style of Chinese
warfare adopted by the Republican, in noisy
but empty threats, and by shooting off its
mouth - to brighten the people. will not an
swer the purpose at all.
Publishing unconstitutional and imperative
laws reading the riot act and enlisting seven
ty-ive-dollar -bouty policemen, have no terrors
for those who feel that they are engaged in a
holy cause, but clearly exhibits the alarm that
is felt and the fears that are entertained by the
oppressors Of the people and the usurptrs Of
the government.

been a movement which gives evidence Ut beconl-
ing very serious on the part Of the negroes
throughout North Louisiana, on account Of the
misrepresentation Of the true policy OF the
White Leagues. This morning letter was re-
ceived here giving information that eight hun
dred negroes are under arms a short distance
below Coushatta.
They swear determination Of the whites and
are bold and defiant. Negroes are reinforcing
them hourly from the surrounding country, and
a collision is not improbable. Forty-tve white
men left Cotton Point and seventy five from
Shreveport for the scene Of action This morning.
Tonight one hundred men, thoroughly armed,
leave here on the steamer Clifford, il they are
called for. Already seyenty-tive white volun-
teers started from Boards Landing to the assist
ance Of the people. BE under no apprehensons
for US. We can take care Of ourselves; but stop
if you those villainous lies about our action.
We are only on the defensive, and will preserve
peace if possible.
The excitement mong the negroes was cansed
entirely by a horde Of carpet-baggers who mis-
led the colored people. The white people are
kindly disposed, but of course If necessary, will
protect themselves and their families. They are
perfectly cool, collected, but resolute, and there
is no excitement noticeable,

that every man who is opposed to the Kel-

world that, 50 far from having grown hike
warm in the matter Of our opposition to the
aetestable rule of Kellogg, we are more firm
and resolved than ever to combat it in every
way in which citizens Of republic may com

THE NEGRO RIOT AT CousH Alta

From the Geographic information which we
publish elsewhere this morning, there seems
TO be n" reasonable doubt about the negro
riot It Coushatta, small town in Red River
parish, about fifty miles north Of Shreveport.
The reports are sufficiently circumstantial and
alarming 70 warrant the gravest fears for the
result, but as the town IS some fifty miles
from the nearest telegraph station, it will
necessarily be some time before authentic
news can be received
We are not told either in the telegram of
the Associated Press or in our own special
what instgated the negroes to move against
the whites wi h threats Of determination, but
it is not difficult to understand that with their
armed organizations and being melted by the
vhlalnous white men who do Kelloggs work
In the parishes, they could easily be made to at
tempt any desperate or bloody work A bottle
OF whisky and speech from carpet Dagger
would be sufficient to incite riot in which
somebody would be killed, and war on a
small scale be inaugurated.
We have no doubt that these Coushatta
negroes are armed with guns sent up from
this city, and we further believe that Mr.
Kellogg will be found to be responsible for
the whole trouble. 1t is to be earnestly hoped
that no blood will be split in this riot; for the
people, while not ill-disposed toward the
negroes. are in no huInor to bear patiently any
further outrages 1t may be that fight oc-
CURED last night, before any Of the white re-
Inducements, which were focking to Cou-
shatta from Cotton Point, Shreveport and
Minden arrived there
Unless the report in regard to the number
Of negroes under arms $500 be greatly ex-
aggerated, we cannot overestimate the gravity
of the situation or too soon take steps to send
aid to our friends in the country Every
white man in New Orleans should at once
enroll himself in some organization for self
defense

A Communication from X. H. MARI. ESQ

Editor n. 0. Bulletin
Ny attention has been called to paragraph
in the evening Picdgttte to the effect that
stated, in speech to the Democratic Club III the
Eleventh Ward Friday night, that there was no
longer a Democratic parry engaged III the pres
ent contest in this State.
The reporter must have misunderstood me.
What | intended to say, and what think | ex-
pressed plainly, is: that the convention Ia
adopted no party name that the object OF the
convention was to unite III this contest all the
white people Of Louisiana, embracing the Demo
cratic party, the Liberals. the RefoImers, the
White Leagues, the Independents, and all the
elements Of opposition = Radicalism, and that il,
would be improper to designate this union as the
Democratic party
1t never occurred to me, nor did l even il
tend to convey the idea that this united move
ment Of the people for The present contest oper.-
ted disruption of the Democratic party, or Of
any other party. Indeed, the platform dopted
by the Convent on expressly recognizes the ex-
lstence of the Democratic party and Of all the
other parties mentioned III the preamble, and it
seeks to unite Il trust it Will unte) all the parties
the State opposed 10 Radicasm and blend
them in harmonious action for single and
common purpose.
The foregoing has teen communicated 10 the
Picog"ile, but ! request that you will publish it
also, to prevent misapprehension, and for the in
formation OF such persons as may attach any
Importance to my views.
