THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.

CINCINNATI, July 2O.-A special dispatch
from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to the Gazette,
says: Ex-Secretary McCulloch was inter-
viewed to-day on the financial question, and
expressed his belief that the new financial bill
would have very little effect upon the business
interests of the country He favored the
adoption Of a policy looking towards the
resumption Of a specie payment and opposed
the further imitation of the currency.
, The present tariff he regards as unjust and
oppressive in many respects, and favors a
strictly revenue tariff. He indorses the finan-
cial views set forth in the Grant-Jones memo
randum and wishes the Government had
adopted them years ago. He denounces the
policy advocated in the platform of the re-
cent Indiana Democratic Convention Of pay
ing tive-twenties in greenbacks, as the first
step towards reputation and national DIS
honor.
He thinks the war against the present
national banking system unwise and impoliic,
and the system should not be abandoned until
better one is devised He expresses a pre-
ference for national bank notes over treasury
notes as circulating medium, inasmuch as
the latter are always under the control OF the
party in power, who may initiate or contract at
pleasure, thus disarranging the busine inter
eStS at will.

squad of United States cavalry, fully armed
and equipped, marched into town from St.
Martinville, with the four prisoners from
Breaux Bridge-Placide Huval, Chas Hebert,
Edgar Hebert and Eugene Dario. The latter
charged with a violation of the enforcement
act in discharging a colored man, and the
three first named arrested under the Ku-Klux
law. Several st. Martin parish Radical Off
Gals accompanied the soldiery, and took a
lively interest in the prosecution of their
neighbors. Our clerk Of court, E. H. Rid
dell, who has been appointed q. S. Commits
sioner, proved himself full of venom, and Or
dered Placide Huval and Chas. Hebert to be
held under $4,000 bond each, and Dario $1,000
for trial before the U. S. Circuit Court.
Many good citizens of st. Martin imme-
diately offered to become bondsmen but are
not yet accepted. They mean to beggar and
crush US. The prisoners returned with the
soldiery and their righteous judge to St.
Martinville.
Universal indignation prevails among all
good citizens. and the action of the g. S.
troops denounced.
The trial of the negroes who lately murdered
one Of their color because he was Democrat.
commenced before parish Judge Fontelieu to-
day.

THE TIMES CORRESPONDENT ON THE
COLFAX AFFAIR.

The able correspondent, "Gar," of the
New York Times, the well-known Republican
journal, has been travelling recently through
Louisiana, and writing interesting letters,
giving the result of his observations and re.
searches. He writes from Colfax to the Times
as follows
The character of the negro is peculiar. He
does not want to Stay the white man, for whom
he has constitutional reverence and terror,
When he thinks he has the upper hand, he
displays it by burning cotton gins and out
raging white women. And this is what hap
pened while the blacks were holding Colfax
Courthouse. young white lady was
ravished in the parish under worry re-
Voting circumstances. Now this is what no
white man anywhere can endure, and it will
account partially for the determined manner
in which the leaders allowed the des-
peradoes to act their wills after the surren-
der. Add to this that the bearer of the first
demand for surrender-a man universal
ly loved and respected, one of the
kindest friends of the black man-had been
shot down with the white flag Of truce
IN his hand. While we make allowance for
the negro. for his ignor snce and his childish
ness, shall we make none for men who see
their friends murdered and their women
outraged When the Northern dema-
gogues shout that the South must be
kept down with the bayonet until a
black mans life is as safe in Louisiana
as in Boston, why don't they say at the same
time, and until white mans property and
the honor of white women are safe also AS
it is at present, the Federal power, under pre-
tense OF protecting law and order, gives the
reign to license and the death stab to justice.
