RADICAL TESTIMONY.

The charges made against the Picayune
and Times of sympathizing with, and in
directly supporting the Kellogg usurpation
are substantiated by the following extract
from the Louisianian, the organ of Pinch
back and the negro race. That journal re-
cognizes the Pic and Times as co-laborers in
the cause Of the Republican party, and &C
knowledges their services in the support Of
Kellogg and the State Government. They
are classified by the Lo~isianian, as follows
The Times, formerly bitter Democrat, but
now reputed to be under Republican man
agement, and the Picayune, representing
the "oldest and BEST" aud anti Republican
heretofore, fruitful in all discourtesies and
uncharitableness towards the colored race,
but now abating its assaults upon Governor
Kellogg and giving the State Government a
quasi mild support, have both harmonized
with the Republican, on the Senatorial qucs-
ton, and conspired to further the sugges-
ton made by the official journal, in that
they have persistently vilificd Gov Pinch
back, and attempted to instigate, by insin-
uation and Misrepresentation, rivalries and
distrust among the colored race toward him.

Senator Gordon of Georgia has written an
able letter, just published, which we have
received, addressed to Gen. Colquitt, presi-
dent Of the Georgia Agricultural Society,
upon the currency question. He contends
that the Government ought either to re-
move the tax on State bank notes, or it
ought to make it's own issues, and not ma
tional banks notes, the money Of the nation.
He opposes contraction and the national
banking system, arguing that no relief can
come under the latter system.
The actual and contingent State debt of
Alabama is thirty million of dollars. Of
this perhaps one-third is in the nature of
tainted obligations. Half of the amount,
sixteen millions, is for railroad bonds in
dorsed by the State.

The Archbishop of York has been preach
ing on amusements before large congreg a.
tons in London. In his last sermon he said
that games Of chance can never be play ed
on equal terms, for the loss is always great
er than the gain can be, and that the mo-
tions Of the stars in the heavens are not
more certain than the ruin such games bring
at last. He was opposed to the hunting
sports in vogue among his countrymen, and
expressed hope that the time is not far
off when it will be a matter of curious his
tory that English gentlemen once used to
publish it abroad with satisfaction that
they. and their friends had in a couple Of
days killed two thousand head Of game that
had been driven together into wood for
certain death.

VERY SIGNIFICANT.

! 1t is very evident that the negroes arr
preparing to enter the next political cam
paign in this State with the determination
Of securing all the political Offices. Thei
special organ, the Louisianian, foreshadow'
this intent, and in its treatment Of the Re
publican, the organ Of the white Republican
carpet Dagger, there is no installing the fac
that a contest between the white ant
colored Republican is near at hand. Say.
the L0uisidnidn
The tone Of the New Orleans press, will
some honorable exceptions, the circumstan
ces referred to considered, is significant o.
evil and mischief to the cOlOred people o.
Louisiana. The New Orleans Republican
the official .journal-edited and controlled
exclusively by white Republicans-some
time since, and again very recently, with.
out cause, suggested that Gov. P,nchback
abandon his claims as Senator elect in order
to secure, what that paper was. pleased to
| call, Republican harmony; which language
legitimately construed means that the Gov
ernOr is TO waive his Senatorial rights in
favor of some one of the thrifty class OF
white Republicans who constitute about
one twentieth of the Republican voters of
the State, or some plastic, easily managed
colOred man, who could be used by the
white men who are attempting to run our
party.
The significance Of this paragraph is appa-
rent and the Republican fully appreciates its
force and meaning, as will appear by the
following extract from its columns:
The LouisiaRian estimates the white Re-
publican vote of this State as equal to one
twentieth of the strength of the party.
Without expressing any opinion upon the
accuracy of this estimate as to the numbers,
we would remind our contemporary that
this is a very important fraction-one whose
loss would be irreparable. This little band
is the head OF the whole body, without
which the other nineteen-twenteths would
be unable to accomplish any very brilliant
successes. Perhaps it will be found prudent
to revise the estimate.
Here now we see the Inauguration of a
nice little fight between the white and
black factions of the Republican party.
One claims to be the "head" Of the mon
ster and the other the "tail," but without
which the body would be powerless-one
boasts Of the brains, whilst the other claims
the votes. As the latter are usually counted
in elections, and the former are always at a
fearful discount in such contests, the
chances of success are decidedly in favor Of
the negroes. In their fight against the
white carpet-bagger they have our SYM
pathy and support, and we hope soon to
see them drive the last one of the white
from the soil of Louisiana.

THE OUTRAGE ON Mr.. AVEGNO.

We publish elsewhere statement of Mr..
j. N. Avegno in relation to the outrage
which was perpetrated upon him, on Fri
day evening last, by several officers and
members OF the metropolitan police.
Mr. Avegno is gentleman so we'll known
in this community, and his reputation fol
veracity is so unquestiored, that his un'
supported statement will be accepted by
every one who knows him.
We may assume that every syllable OF
his card is strictly true, and are therefore
warranted in the assertion that the unpro-
voked assault upon and violent and rough
treatment of Mr.. Avegno is quite unpar-
alleled, even in the annals of this police
That gentleman should be set upon by a
number of policemen and dragged to Jail for
no offense whatever, except that of object
ing to be robbed or assassinated, is bad
enough, but that he should have had a
loaded revolver placed to his head, and
while at the Station should have been sub
jected to treatment the most uncalled-tOr,
is simply monstrous.
1t will be borne in mind that Mr.. Avegno
was taking quiet evening stroll, when he
was confronted by man, who sprang sud-
denly out of the darkness and commanded
him to stop, or he would shoot him. Natu-
rally, in times like these, when the city is
Overrun with assassins and rOwdies, and
when acts Of the most desperate villainy are
committed with impunity, Mr.. Avegno be-
lieved he was about to be garroted or muir
dered, and, being uharmed, took the course
he thought safest under the circumstances
he backed quickly away from his assailant,
and crying watch" sprang into the open
door of coffee house. Here he was soon
followed by quite a number of persons, and
among others by Capt. McCann, who, ac-
cording to Mr.. Avegno's statement, instead
of endeavoring to explain the situation to
him and quiet his apprehension as to the as.
sault upon him, ordered him rudely to "hush,
or he would a send him torjail."
We have come to pretty pass indeed,
when gentlemen peacefully walking along
the street are set upon by men armed with
revolvers, and then when they complain
about it, are told to hush OF they will be
locked up. Do we live in America or
Russia Have we any rights left which
the metropolitan police are bound to respect,
or do we live and breathe simply by their
permission
These are very pertinent questions, and,
unless a sudden check be placed upon these
men, no mans life will bc safe, no gentle
man, however peaceable or law-abiding,
but may be grossly insulted and deeply
1t may be that Mr.. Avegno was greatly
excited whcn Capt. McCann first accosted
might well have been. 1t may be
hat he used opprobrious epithets while
being dragged through the streets to prison;
f SO, the provocation had been great and
should have been considered,

THE DEAD CONVICT Munson Alexander,

THE DEAD CoNvICT.-Munson Alexander,
who was killed yesterday, was well known
to our old police as dangerous and desper-
ate man. In 1865, Specials Petrie and Fox,
after a great deal of labor, succeeded in run
ming him down for the robbing Of an old
German who sold vegetables in Poydras
Market. Alexander, young Barney Williams
and one Cotton were engaged in the affair,
and they managed to get $500. Mr.. Petrie
was SO successful in tracing up Alexanders
guilt that he was convicted and sent to the
Penitentiary. In the times before the war
he was always closely watched, and he
never went out at night but what he was
Swallowed.
