DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
Editor of the N. O. Bulletin:

Editor of the N. Q. Bulletin:
After careful observance of the moves on
the political chess-board of Louisiana, / am
led to the conclusion that the usurper, fol-
some cause or other is striving, recently OF
course, to divide the anti Radical VOTE which
certainly must be with a view to conquer it.
At least, it is we'll known that efforts have
been made to divide the white vote of the
State, or rather Of this city, by a so-called In
dependent movement, and it has been charged,
and the charge has not been contradicted,
that some Of the most active, persistent work
ers in that effort We're the usurper's secret en-
isaries. That attempt to divide the white
vote was made upon the pretext that good men
and true could not be nomir ated under the
auspices of the Democratic party.
That attempt to divide the white vote hav-
ing failed efforts are now being made to effect
the same object by converting the White
League into political faction, upon the pre-
text that large number of tie men will
unite with such an organization who are unwill-
ing to cooperate with the Democratic party.
There are some so uncharitable as to Sus-
pect that the usurper has hand in this move,
through his secret emissaries If he is not as
srred of his ability to control the negro vote
in his own interest, or if he fears that the
Anti Radical element is sufficiently strong to
to recognize him even as the de facto Cover
nor, to divide and conquer that element would
be good policy. And to keep his hand con-
cealed, it would be piece OF strategy unsur
passed to set one of his quasi organs to advo-
eating the White League movement, and an
other opposing keeping up sort of sham
fight.
This would divert attention from his ul-
terror designs and purposes. These are mere
impressions, resulting from observation, and
may not be realized. Tine alone can deter
mine what the present aspect of political
affairs portend.
But Of one thing I feel fully assured, and
that is, that any division OF the white vote of
this State majority of whom have always
been Democrats, will insure the success of
the party in power. I am unwilling to believe
that any considerable number of intelligent
white men are so prejudiced against the DEM
ocratic party as to prefer the success Of the
plunderers and oppressors Unless such be
the case, can see no reason tor abandoning
the Democratic organization.
DEMOCRAT.

TiltOn's Terrible TwO.Egcd Sword.

The time has passed for concealment, sub
tertuge or explanation even for secret
investigations by irresponsible church com
mittees. Ever since the publication of the
letter Of Mr.. Tllton to DR.. Bacon compromise
or peace has been impossible. Mr. Beecher
could never rest under that letter. That was
The real challenge to war-a challenge that
came from Mr.. Tilton, who, by the way, has
acted in this matter with GOODNESS, force
and pitiless energy that render the stories of
his 'insanity" the extreme OF absurdity. His
war upon Mr.. Beecher may be regarded as
! species Of vivisection, and in the interest Of
hum nifty it should cease. The torture which
Mr.. Tilton has inflicted upon his enemy, so
strongly shown in the letters Of the unfortu-
nate clergymay, should come to an end.
Better that Henry Ward Beecher should be
with the dead, and fin: that peace which his
soul craved IN his touching letters, than that
he should live under the misery which Mr..
Tilton has never ceased to force upon HIM
since the lst OF January, 1871, Whatever the
end is, let us have the end. more particularly
as Mr.. Tilton, in remarkable interview, re-
printed elsewhere from the Brooklyn Argus,
intimates that he could draw sword with
two edges" In other words, as he further
shows he will, if provoked, rake up the scan
dals that have been floating about Brooklyn,
and introduce the names of ladies who now
hold good positions in society, as the alleged
victims of sin and shame.-N 7. Herald,

SHOOTING AFFRAY.

WnKEsBARRE, July 80. This morning, at
Jermyn, in this county, Alfred Green, super
intendent of coal mine, started to inspect
the mine and see if it Was free from gas and
that everything was all right, as was bis
regular custom, before the miners entered for
their days work. He WIS accosted by three
strangers, who asked him for work. He re-
piled that he had full force and did not need
their services.
They then drew their revolvers and fred
nine shots at him, two OF which took effect in
his left shoulder and side. His cries and the
reports Of the pistols attracted the attention
OF Robert Pierce and Edward McCrackea,
who came to his assistance. the rufiians
turned upon them, but Pierce defended him
self with his revolver and shot one of the
strangers through the head, killing him in
stantly. The other two ran; one of them
was wounded before he got out of range Mr..
Green's wounds are dangerous, though not
necessar- ly fatal.
Tns IS .ilAut who WAS killed, was unkno xn
to all WAC viewed his corpse. A rumnr reached
here this evening that the man WAC was
woandel had been captured. and that the
exasperLted miners had lynched him.

no indication of storm on Sunday night,
except slight change in the barometer. The

A Sensible COlored Mans View Of the
Subject.


A colored man named Alec Burns having
been placed on the Central Executive Commit
tee OF the Republican party Of Richland par
sh is out in communication in the Beacon

his ca 4, and commend it to the attention Of
colored men in New Orleans:
While / believe in and hop" for the educa-
ton and elevation of my race, and will do all
my power for the promotion of my own and
their happiness my conviction IS, thai the
best and surest mode to accomplish the de-
sired end. is to cultivate friendship with the
re intelligent white men, and assist them to
la in Office, intelligent honest, capable
men, who will make just and wholesome Laws
to .enetit the whole people, white and colored,
and rescue the State from certain bankruptcy,
under the resent mISrule
/ despise the miserable arpet-bagger and
the native white man alike, whose sole object
is to poison the minds Of the ignorant and
selves in power for the purpose OF plumber and
robbery, and making our own degradation
deeper and more damning if possible than it
was when We were aoject slaves.
l think the move now being made by the
white people of Louisiana, TO obtain the con-
troll of the Governm mt, is in the right dlrec-
ton, and, after mature deliberation. have
determined to cast my lot with them, and
whatever influence l may have among our

THE BEECHER CASE.

New YORK, July 30.-The Brooklyn Union
says: A reporter who is intimate with MIR.
Beecher called at his residence. The CONVEX
sation was of a confidential nature.
MIR. Beecher intimated that his friends
might re.y on his discretion and truth. 1t
was enough that he had declared Tilton's
charges false for the present. He was pre-
pared to admit that his sky was not as clear
as it ought to be.
There were hazy clouds on the horizon, nd
these darkened slightly toward the zenith.
But the sun of truth would, in it's time, burst
forth and dissipate them. He was preparing
his refutation OF the charges against him. He
felt strong in his own heart, felt he had done
wrong to no one, might have been inconsider-
ate, even indiscreet.
When his plain and unvarnished story had
been prepared and given to the public, he
would calmly await the issue.
H. was quite prepared to stand or fall He
felt himself innocent, and with that feeling
ever present in his heart, he was prepared to
come boldly before the world, and battle down
the army of scand i mongers.
