LOOKING RATHER UGLY.

In spite Of the she ers Of the Picoyrae.
that yeritable sheet begins to anticipate
the consequences Of having melted insur.
rection. Ithas challenged the Republican
voters to decide their rights by wager of
battle. The right OF suffrage is intended
to defend the weak. The colored people
are not soldiers. While the White League
we're studying the art Of " ar the colored
people were at homo making bread for
their families. The covert ment OF the
United States gave freedom and suffrage.
It will guarantee both. So. if the White
Leaguers wish to fight this right out the
colo.ed Republicans respectfully turn
them over to the United States troops. The
1eaguers. however. say that they respect
the federal government too much to harm
one of its soldiers.
But the federal government gave the
colored people the right to vote and hold
office, which the White Leaguers are
banded to defeat. Then the White
Leaguers opposed the laws Of a govern.
ment which they profess to respect. and
hold the colored people re sponsible for
rights which were conferred on them by
the federal government. Why the White
League should assault the tenant as an
intruder and take off its hat to the land.
lord who puts his tenant in possession. we
can not understand. But the sneers Of
the White League are like to become the
sardouic grin Of the ''man who laughs"
and whose apparent merriment was the
terrible expression Of stereotyped
misery.
Itwould be erroneous to take to Loui1
lana the sole merit of having caused the
commotior, as it would be to assume that
she alone can adjust it. It is question
much larger ttan can be comprehended
in the nutshell Of local compromise. The

OUR RAILROAD CONNECTION.

Those who regard the real cause of our
commercial decline. will appreciate the
Importance Of adequate railway commune
cation with the upper West. 1t is rather
late in the day to insist that all the West
ern produce shall follow the Mississippi
to the sea, because it is the cheapest way.
1t is OF incalculable consequence for
New Orleans 70 keep open her rail COM
munications with the West and East.
The public want express goods, the pas
senger intercourse, all require that the
wire and rail shall be adequate and unin-
terrupted.
1t is well known that the jackson road
is the common trunk Of any connection
with Cincinnati. st. Louis. Chicago and
Detroit. and all tributary points. The
direct trade demand from our immediate
vicinage by this road is Of great substan-
tive value. and if turned from Us by the
attractions of superior Eastern facilities
would make large gap in our receipts
and commercial values. The immediate
local trade may be thus estimated from
last years returns OF the jackson road:
Cotton 284, 869 bales. freights received
lis, 45i, 10 pounds, back freights 162,-
523,207 pounds.
We have no returns of the passenger
business. Enough is thus shown to prove
the invaluable importance Of the road
and its unbroken connection to every
merchant. landlord and man of business
in the city.
This trade is threatened. II is known
that the jackson road traverses the lands
liable TO overflow for many miles Of its
location. There are particular points at
which the overflow Of the river is particu-
larry to be apprehended. The !evee at
Bonnet Care ha, been several times
broken. and is now in an imperfect and
incomplete condition. It is understood
that the Levee Company is not prepared
to construct this work SO soon, or in SO
perfec. manner as will guarantee the
safety of that section of railroad which it
tends to protect from overflow.
We do not know what are the resources
of the jackson railroad applicable to the
protection of its own work, nor will We
intimate how far it may be obligatory on
that company to invest, or to advance the
means necessary for the incidental de-
fanse Of its OWN interests No doubt auy
such advances would be repaid in due
time. Of the duties and resources of
these two corporations We neither know
nor have right to know anything. We
confne ourselves to the importance Of an
unbroken rail connection.
But we must call the attention OF the
commercial interest TO this situation Of
affairs, and to the absolute necessity OF
immediate action in securing this inesti-
| mable object.

Co10RED LIFE INSURANCE OFFICE.

COIORED LIFE INSURANCE OFFICE.
The Picaylns boosted short time since
Of some colored club that had placed
itself under the protection of the White
Leaguers. This was possibly done at the
instance Of the wives and families of these
men. They have had dread forebodings
when a laboring black man quits his
house in the morning that he may never
be seen again alive. We pity these men.
but see no other alternative for the timid.
It is impossible for them to refugee, and
perhaps it may be the best compromise
with assassination. and the readiest life
insurance that they can effect. As it seems
to be the policy Of the White Leaguers
just at this time to conciliate the black
man and evade the blue coats. we would
suggest the designation by some mark TN.
derstood among the Leaguers of all COL
ored men entitled to safe conduct.
The undated hostility to the negro, and
the fatal indifference to blood engendered
by the League clubs is shown in the ex.
citing chase of negro man named Philip
Gaines. who for an alleged attempt 70
comnli: the larceny Of ham was chased
and shot to death after highly interest
ing pursuit. The Picoyune. describing
the hue and cry, says:
Suddenly the sharp crack Of a pistol re.
sounded twice through the air, there was
heard ar almost unearthly yell of agony.
the man had dropped to the sidewalk.
Rushing upon him the multitude satisfied
themselves with preventing further efforts
on his part TO escape. keeping him safely
until Officer Recknagel took him in charge.
Very graphic. The person who fired
the shots could not be found. This was
ceraitnly hea:y penalty for the offanse.
But what else is to be expected: Every
White Lacquer armed. drilled and in iull
practice. The cry Of a pursuit is heard
the frightened fugitive is a negro. 1t is
enough, and any one Of the armed spec.
tators may make a target prac tice Of the
terrified wretch. This will damage the
life insurance bureau. The colored Gus
toners vii! not resort to its protection
unless some designation which may be
seen even when he who wears it is running
at full speed. If this be not done, the
temptation Of a flying negro may be such
