AN OMNIBUS PLACARD.
What Does 1t Mean /!

The following placard, which was evidently
written by a negro, was found last evening
posted upon tree at the corner of Broadway
and Tche upitoulas streets, i'll the Fourteenth
Ward. 1t may be that it was intended for a
joke, but if so, we warn the negroes of the
Fourteenth Ward that such jokes are not APP
preciated just at this season, and it will be
well to abate them. We give the placard Ter

4 Few Practical Suggestions to the Con.
ventiOn called 10 Meet at Baton Rouge
AuU d 1874
Aug. a. 1874.

l
Mr.. EiOr-H is wasting time to remind
the members of this Convention of its i'm.
portance, its effect for good or evil upon tn,
/ States future.
| 1t is simply vital to all our interests. W.
must improve upon our present government
| or emigrate, if we can, and if not starve
Keeping these important facts in mind, re-
member that ''absol,de and entire unon and
harmony are necessary to success"
This is the language of the Committee of
Seventy, and they have said nothing which
contains more truth.
How can this union and harmony be Sc
cured? This is the first and leading business
question to be settled by the Convention. I'm
der sense of the solemn obligation to their
constituents, this must never be forgotten.
elimination and recrimination are wholly out
Of place-it will cheer our enemies at home
and disgust our friends at home and abroad
Doubtless none of the members will enter
tain absolutely right, and very few, if any, sb-
sOlutely wrong views. You meet to reason
together, to devise sensible, prudent measures
in the States dire extremity. The member
who originates, aids or abets bicker ings, will
meet universal execration.
No man has right to attend this Conven-
ton with an utimdtam stubbornly fixed upon
in his mind. Such a one is incapable of lis
tening to reason or be Influenced by argu-
ment
A name is to be settled upon under which
the opposition to Radicalism, is to rally What
shall it be? No man has right to decide in
advance of careful consultation with his CO.
members, and in reaching that decision, no
other consideration is worthy moments no.
tice, except this: ''Under which name can we
make the best fight? 2" What the people of
this State want, and mean to have, is sub
stance, not shadow-things, not names. The
Democratic Central Committee say what the
Committee Of Seventy repeat and approve in
this campaign:
National politics are subordinate in this
canvass
This is most emphatically true, and conse-
quently the particular name adopted is mat
ter OF no sort OF consequence, so far as Ma
honal politics is concerned.
No matter what name is chosen, those who
fight under it in this canvass, will be well
come recruits in 1876, to that national army
which shall march against and take captive
the hosts of Radicalism.
In the name of common sense, common
patriotism, and a common resolve to save the
State we implore you to disappoint your enc
mics and give encouragement to the thou
sands of suffering, unsefish citizens who
wait to do your bidding if you only act pru-
IDENTIFY and wisely.
The prospect for success, especially since
tie wise patriotic stand taken by the Liberals,
which meets the cordial Endorsement of all
good citizens, is most encouraging
Let no imprudence or folly blast the hopes
which once more animate the people.

Postmaster General Jewell will 20 to Long
Branch this evening to report to the President
and will return to his home, in Hartford, Ct, to-

Judge Blackford to- daydecided that the us Dis
trict Attorney is still entitled to two per cent and
the Clerk Of the U. $. District Court to one per
cent on all moneys recovered in the Custom
House seizure suits in this District
He holds that the law Of 1874, abolishing mole
ties and informers fees, does not cover the allow
ance of these per centages, which are given in
lieu OF costs and fees that the District ATTORNEY
and clerk should otherwise be elected to in the
suits mentioned, but which are not allowed by
any provision of the law.

conclusively that Sheriff Dick had acted il
this matter entirely in the scope Of his posi-
ton, and ought not to be held for an act un
| der the law
After the arguments, Lynch announced
that he would deliver written opinion at 7:3(
o'clock, and by consent he released Turnbul
on parole until that time. At the
APPOINTED HOUR
all parties interested were on hand, and
Lynch rendered a decision releasing Turn
bull
After reciting the points in the case, he de-
cided as follows:
81 have neither the right nor the inclination
10 the examination Of the cause for the arrest
and Imprisonment of the relator to inquire
into any contempt Of the authority Of the Su-
perior District Court, which he may or NAV
not have committed An order Of imprison-
ment, based upon contempt of court, is not
open for examination for revision by another
court Of concurrent jurisdiction. look in vain
for any decree or Judgment Of the Hon. Judge
OF the Superior District Court condemning
Mr.. Turnbull to imprisonment for contempt
Of any order of his court
Neither is there any affidavit charging
the relator with the commission of any crime
or offense whatever. The only excuse offered
by MIR. Dick for his action in the premises is
simply that the relator has violated an order
Of injunction issued by the Superior District
Court in the above entitled suit. It does not
lie with Sheriff Dick to say that an injunc-
ton has been violated or not that is f1nc-
ton that pertains only to Judge Hawkins
himself, AMI he has not delegated, because he
could not have delegated, to the executive
officer of his court the right to sit in judg-
ment on an alleged infraction of a judicial
order.
'There being, therefore, no order of i'm
prisonment for contempt by any competent
court, nor any affidavit charging Mr.. Turnbull
with the commission Of any otfense against the
laws, his arrest and detention by Deputy
Sheriff Joseph Dick, is illegal, unwarranted
and unauthorized by law.
''Let, therefore, tie relator, B. NJ Turn
bull, be discharged from custody
Mr.. Dick, accompanied by Deputy J. c.
Golding, We're yesterday and up to a late hour
last night out on hunt for some responsible

In the northwestern corner of the Territory
of Wyoming is located one of the most beau
tiful lakes on this continant, if not in the
world. Adjacent to it are the sources of four
majestic rivers the Yellowstone, flowing into
the Missouri at a distance of 1900 miles; the
Missouri itself, which finds its way to the
Cult through the Father of Waters; the
Columbia, which leads to the Pacific, and the
Colorado which, passing through the most
rem rkable canon in the world, discharges its
waters into the Gulf of California. Grouped
around this lake, and in the midst of this
watershed, is perhaps the gnndest display OF
hot springs, gaysers, mud volca-
NOES, and natural architectural beauties any,
whsre to be found on the lace Of the globe.

The negroes are supposed to have 10000
majority over the whites in Mississippi. Now
let them organize on the color line, put up
straight negro ticket, and the whites will
fight them on that line, in spite of their nu-
merical strength The only thing needed to
redeem the State from negro rule is to draw
out the full strength of the white vote, and
that can never be done on a milk and water
platform. Give us the color line and civil
rights mixed school issue, and we will soon
show where the majoity is. The registered
negro majority in Vicksburg was between 400
and 500. the white majority in the election
was 200. -Four hundred aad fifty dead ne
groes and a number of colored Louisianians,
who are usually very accommodating. de-
clined to vote for the Radical candidates for
and the result was somewhat dis
astrous to the aforesaid Radical candi-
dates.- Vcksb.vg Herald.

A SEDUCER SHOT.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2O-Geo. c. Harding, edi-
tor and proprietor Of the Indianapolis Herald
shot Sol. Moritz prominent merchant OF this
city this evening, under the following circum-
stances: These gentlemen have been warm
friends, and very intimate in their social rela-
tions. Mortz, who is Hebrew, age about forty.
and married, took the advantage Of this intimacy
and succeeded in seducing Harding's daughter,
about eighteen.
This was accomplished last March, and i'm
proper relations have been maintained by the
parties since that time The young lady con-
fessed these facts to her father last evening and
overwhelmed with remorse she attempted
suicide with opium, and it is thought she repeat
ed the dose this morning. About l o'clock this
evening Harding went in search of physician,
and meeting Moritz on the street Immediately
began firing at him, shooting five tunes, then
passed down the street
One shot shattered Moritzs left elbow another
passed through his lungs, lodging in the chest
1t was thought the latter wound would prove
fatal but at 10 o'clock he was resting quietly, and
will probably recover. Miss Harding died about
p. nj. Harding was bailed at $4,000 to await
the result Of MoritZs wounds. Public feeling is
very strongly in sympathy with Harding.
Since the shooting Mrs Harding, the step.
mother of the cead daughter, has stated that
Mortz also made improper proposals to her.
Mo itz denies the charges made by. Miss. Harding
on her death-bed, and says as soon as he is able.
he will prove his innocence.

Beating the Fastest Time on Record on
Mile Track.

SARATOGA, Aug. IA. Belmont's Gray
Planet ran to-day on the Saratoga course a
mile against time and won in :425 Mr. Bel
mont had bet Mr.. L. L. Lorill srd $1,000 that
Gray Planet, five years old, by Planet out of
Eagless, carrying ITO pounds, would run a
mile over the Saratoga course during one Of
the meetings Of 1874 in :43ll; also, $500 that
he would run the mile in LA, the weather to
be fair and the track in good order. The
conditions being favorable to-day, the race
took place at noon. No notice had been
given except in the pool room, and so the at
tendance, although the admission was free,
was quite smell, numbering Speaker Blaine
and perhaps, 499 others. Pools sold readily
both at Morrissey's and at the track. Time
was about ten per cent the favorite in the
pools as against the horse
The start was made at 1890. Gray Planet
was in splendid condition and seemed to be
as conscious as his jockey that the duty before
him was to run mile quicker than any other
horse in America had ever done it, and he did
it. Belmont's Babylon ran as companion for
the first half mile, nd hts King Amadeus the
last half, but neither of them was able to keep
up with Gray Planet, who flew around the
track like comet through the heavens. The
friends of the horse were jubilant when he
came in winner, beating the fastest time on
record. Iu 1869, at Cincinnati, Hamburg, a
two year-old, carrying 80 pounds, ran mile
in :45; in 1872, on the Saratoga track, Alarm

1t was once thought the camel would have
TO be acclimated in order to make journeys
across the ''great American desert feasible,
and years ago, with this object in view, a
herd Of ten camels was imported. But rail-
ways have since been built across the desert,
and civilization ant irrigation together have
reclaimed large tracts, SO that the camel and
his indispensableness have been alike forgot
ten. Some one, however, has been at tie
trouble of searching out the history of these
ten camels. 1t appears that eight of the ten
have been killed by the Mexicans, Indians
and through other mishaps, so that only two
survive, but these have a numerous progeny
of twenty-six camels of American birth, hav-
ing grown up to maturity, and being now en-
ployed usefully in Nevada. The experiment
seems to have proven that the camel can be
acclimated, and at some future day we may
expect this patient and us full animal to m Ike
quite respectable figure in the census agri-
cultural tables.
