Mrs. Reynolds, widow of the murdered
man, was at once sent after to identify the
murderer. She came between two and
three o'clock, and being taken into the
room, she recognized the man at once. A
portion ut his coat was covered by a
blanket, but she stated that it looked like
the Que he wore when at her house, and if
IL was, 1t had side pockets. An eXamina-
uon proved that she was correct. She
recognized the face at once, but stated that
she was under the impression that his
whiskers were fuller An examination
proved that he had within the last few
days shaved his whiskers down. She was
very positive that this was the man who

WHAT'SIN THE WIND9

Some time last week an open carriage
was observed driving out Canal street, the
occupants Of which were ex-Gov. Warmoth
rhos. Ong, U. S. Appraiser, Chas. w. Ring
gold, U. S. Postmaster, and Jno. Cockrcn,
Collector Of Internal Revenue, which the
same, it may be remarked was peculiar, in
asmuch as there is presumed to exist feud
between Kellogg and Warmoth, to say
nothing Of other members of the party.
Pretty soon buggy was seen approaching
rapidly from the lake. containing Kellogg
and Packard. They do say that when those
two vehicles drew near unto each other the
expression upon the ceuntenance of every
individual present was curious study
The Milesian gentleman with the Oriental
name, turned all colors Of the rainbow
when he saw Kellogg and the pale face of
the Usurper turned ten shades whittier than
chalk when he observed Ong in that com
pany.
Packard looked wise and threatening
while Warmoth and the others were almost
convulsed with laughter. A lightning pho
tographer could have made his fortune had
he been present on the instant.

A SAD BUT USEFUL LESSON.

The dreadful accident which has resulted
in the death of an estimable and beautiful
young lady, Miss Durel, should serve as a
warning to the police and city authorities
to execute rigidly the ordinances which pro-
| vide that vehicles driving in line through
the streets shall keep a distance of twenty
feet apart, and which prohibit furious
driving on the crowded thoroughfares.
Unfortunately the ordinances alluded to
have been permitted to become dead let
ters, and we have, time and again, noticed
long professions of loaded cotton floats
driven 50 close together that it was impossi
bic for an active man to cross street be-
tween them, while everybody is familiar
with the sight of heavy cotton floats and
drays being driven at break-neck speed over
the square block pavements, to the immi-
nent danger of life, and to the everlasting
injury Of the tympanums of everybody's
ears.
But for the infraction of both these ordi-
nances the young lady whose death we
mourn to-day might have lived to old age,
a blessing and comfort to her family !;
most assuredly her young life would not
have been crushed out beneath the jugger-
naut car of commerce had the reckless
driver Of the cotton float felt any apprehen-
,ion that he would be punished for fast
driving.
1t is time that stringent measures were
aiken to make the drivers of vehicles I'M
derstand that pedestrians have some rights
which must be respected and we earnestly
urge the authorities to cause public notice
to be given that the very first driver caught
violating the ordinances referred to will be
dealt with as severely as the law will adj
nit. Mere talking about it will not effect
the slightest good-an example is needed,
and we trust that the police will see to it
that the bad practice of fast driving and
close driving be absolutely broken mp on
our main avenues of trade.

THE TRUE DOCTRINE.

Mr.. James Todd, a planter in the parish o
St. Mary, who, according to the New O.leans
Republican, is a Northern man, has writer
a very sensible letter to the Brashear Ners
on the subject of employing men hereafter
who will not vote in opposition to his inter
ests. The views he expresses are so sensible
and the reasons he adduces so torcble, that
we rescue the letter from the unmerited OBJ
iivion to which it had been consigned by
the Republican, for the benefit of the public
If all our planters will follow the example
Of Mr.. Todd, louisiana will soon be re-
deemed:
| have many colored men OH my planta-
ton who assure me that they will not vote at
the election. Such men will always en-
ploy. have no desire to force any one to
vote as | do, but claim the right to employ
on my plantation those who Will protect my
interests at all times and in every manner.
do not propose to break my contract with
my laborers on account Of their votes, but
do propose to make no contract in the future
with those who will destroy my interests
and rights if they are afforded the opport u
nifty.
l am justified IN this course by the exam
pie OF Gen. Grant, w. P. Kellogg and all
Radicals in power, who will not appoint
men of opposite political opinions to Office,
and, further, will remove persons from
office if they dare to vote contrary to the in
terests of the Radical party, even though
they are among the large taxpayers of the
country. With such examples before me,
why should not l refuse to employ those
who support by their votes the thieving
scoundrels who live only to rob me? |

the last seven years at great expense for

LOANS TO SECURE HOMEs.-The fact that
the Crescent City Loan and Building Asso-
citation continue the use of their resources
in such desirable way in these hard times
as is calculated to secure to men OF even IN
considerable means, the enjoyment and ultl-
mate ownership of home where they can
plant their own vine and fig tree" with
out let or hindrance, is one which should
interest not only the stockholders of the en-
terprise, but all who seek to become indie
pendent of landlords.
The Association has now been in successful
operation for several years, and has gained
the utmost confidence of the community by
it's open and fair-handcd dealings with all
who have tested its liberal aid really beneti-
cent workings. To the poor man, OF family:
especially, the loans of the Association are a
practical blessing, as many have realized.
As appears by the advertisement, another
loan of money is to be offered to the stock
holders Saturday evening, at half-past Z
o'clock, at the office, No. 40 Camp street,
when the general public-are invited to at
tend and witness the manner in which the
loans are made.

ne Editors of the New Orleans Bulletin:

To the Editors of the New Orleans Bulletin:
l have been, since Vol. l, No. l, OF your
very valuable paper made its appearance, a
constant and careful reader l have noted
carefully all the propositions for the solu-
ton Of our troubles, and l think none so
good as that offered few days ago by some
one, that we divide our city into divI-
sions and subdivisions, and having a
preliminary election, etc. 1t is the
most feasible, satisfactory and sensible
way of getting out q our troubles l can
see. 1t win unite all white men to vote for
one set Of white candidates; it will prevent
fraud to a very great extent in that the
white men will know who are the qualified
electors before the election, and can watch
all frauds at the polls; and those who are
proper electors whose vote might be cast
out because of some irregularity can have
affairs properly adjusted, SO all will be right
at the last moment.
| am no Democrat, nor am Republican ;
but am a white man, and believe in white
men ruling For this reason l advocate
your paper, and talk it to my friends till
they subscribe. But l cannot say am of
the same opinion of the author of that COM
munication in this mornings paper. While
we should always show the white man
clerk, mechanic or laborer-the prefer
ence always, even at a larger price, there
are many instances where we need the
negro We have not enough white labor in
Louisiana to do the work but were the
bankers, merchants and mechanics to give
the preference to the whites, our State
would soon fill with enough white laborers,
mechanics, and good, sound phite GSp to
drive the negro from our beloved STATE.
Go on, Mr.. Editor; fight for the white
man, fight for the right and be consistent
in the future as YOU have been in the past
then will you be re warded by subscriptions
so plentiful that you too can have the
largest circulation in the Southwest"
l am no politician, nor do write this to
bring myself before the public; it is only to
encourage you in your good work.
Again say go on. ANON.

INVITING THE CONFLICT.

We learn from two reliable gentlemen
just from Natchitoches, that on the arrival
of the negro witnesses in the Grant parish
trial, supplied with arms from this city, a
good deal Of apprehension was felt among
the people. This alarm was increased by
the conduct Of the Senator from that parish,
Raford Blunt, we believe, who, assembling
the negroes, addressed them in an infamma-
tory speech, and told them to arm and pre-
pare to meet the white peopls. He courted
the conflict and said the sooner it came the
better. This is the feeling that is prevalent
throughout the State among the negroes
Let the whites, then, take warning and pre-
pare to meet the issue when it comes.

The MEETING OF THE CLUBS.

According to the notice published in the
lpers, meeting was held last night, Ct
the various representatives of the clubs
The object was to obtain a consolidation OF
all the elements opposed to the Republican
party. We are sorry to say, the meeting
was not so harmonious as we expected, and
as it should have been. As we feared, the
political aspirations of some rose paramount
to the general interests of the whole people.
We cautioned these gentlemen against such
blunders.
Now, we have only to say that the inter
ests at stake are too great to be jeopardized
by selfish politicians, and we tell them now
and for all time, that no arbitrary and
unreasonable claims will be tolerated. We,
for one, will expose by name, and hold up
to public condemnation, the man who at
tempts to run a club, or a convention, in his
own interests. There was an evidence OF this
in the meeting last night and if it be re-
peated we will take care to let the people
of this city know who the individuals are
who propose to manipulate the party for
their own interests.
1t must be apparent to every sensible man
that unity and harmony alone will give sue
cess to the white people Of this city. And
we do not propose to permit the Indepen-
dent Democratic or any other Presidents Of
clubs to destroy the consolidation Of the
people, simply because their peculiar ideas
and notions are not realized. If they prove
unequal to the task before them, and in
competent, either by reason Of blind prejn-
dice or selfish interests, to discharge their
duties, they will be made to retire, and
others more patriotic and more reliable will
be called upon to take the lead in the great
movement for the redemption of the State.
