"A Black League:

That the wish is father to the thought is
made apparent by the exulting publication
by the Picayune of the canard instilled in
the brain of its impressible young man.
The idea that riot could possibly occur
through any acts of the militia, white or
colored, no one, not even the conductors of
the Picayatne, would entertain for mo-
ment. But that one should be melted in
any manner, no matter how, has been its
desire, and the suggestion of the fourth Of
July parade was seized upon with eager
ness. 1t would perhaps fire the hearts of
the White Leaguers to suggest that the
colored men would be likely to take time
by the forelock in lswless actions, and it
was probably with this idea that such
prominence was given to the twsddle sbsut
the "black league" ..,..

H. NEW ORLEANS WEDNESDAY JULY / 1874
I.ternal Revesue Items,

Having resigned his commission as col
lector of internal revenue, and his successor
having been appointed and qualified for the
position, Colonel 8. A. Stockdals yester day
ceased to act as collector Of this district.
He has been popular officer with his en-
ployes, and has always held their respect
and esteem. 1t was fitting, then, that, they
should remember him in the hour of; part
ing, when he is about to seek climes more
congenial to his health, and yesterday. Cap
tain Brainard, chief book keeper, on behalf
of all connected with the Office, presente d
the Colonel with beautiful ebony and
gold mounted cane, accompanying the pre-
sentation with neat little speech, express
ing in feeling manner the sentiments Of
his associates. 1t was an unlocked for event,
and the Colonel enieavored, as best he
could, to say the few words which assured
his adjutants that the compliment was ap-
preciated.
Major c. W. Wills, deputy collector, was
also pleasantly remembered by his co M
panions in office. and was caned by the
same parties. -ii al
Colonel Stockdale has held the position
of collector since April, 1869, and has ad-
ministered the Onerous duties Of his Off ce
to the entire satisfaction of the reven ue
bureau, and. we believe, as far as possibl Q,
to the satisfaction of our people. He has
collected here and turned into the treasury
of the United States $4,000, 900, and it is
something for him to be able to at ono Q
close his accounts and enter other walks of
lief with pure hands and a consciousness 8
of having done well what was for him
to do. '"
John Cockrem, Esq, the new collector,
will assume the duties of his Office to-day,
and will make several changes in the sub
ordinate positions.

A Palpabie Sl.

In these piping times peace, when
nothing more exciting thansummer excur-
sions are brought to the suace, gentlemen
around police headquart's grow jocose,
and indulge in almost anyting which will
amuse them for the moent. Of course
practical jests are liable tcesult seriously,
as did the last one. A pant clothes pin,
double back action bean EXTRACTOR. invent
ed by Mr.. Jerry Donova furnished inno-
cent amusement, causin ghe victims to call
for drinks all round, fuiing with hearty
laugh, ended without triment to any
body, but the fun was cried one line too
far last Sunday, win two gentle
men. pretending to old private
conversation in the presence of a
Picayune reporter, liked about q
Black League. For the,ubstance Of that
,nonsensical conversational the Picayune
of Tuesday morning, relrted in full, with
fanciful variations-staring, bloody, chill
ing, ferocious. killing, immense, sensa-
tional, all without sound foundation than
is contained in a jest utterly absurd
that not even the least thoughtful would
for an instant. supfosds could sell the
veriest sucker in the CScent City. The
bit of foolishness in qstion was to the
effect that on the foth of July our
colored militia was to risin its might and
if retailers of soda war should refused
drinks then the soldierwould kill all the
white men and take all ie white women.

with cap and ball." werto be each mans

arms are breech-loaders l.., . --,.-,. d..
The entire account, published in the
Picayune of Tuesday. isa baseless fabrica-
tion, and after the selwas exposed that
paper, in it's edition of 1t euening, tried to
bolster its statements reiterating them,
and also posted its morngs nonsense pro-
minently on bulletin lard in front of the
office. Fortunately Wy few people be-
lieved a word of the sly story. but unfor-
tunately few copies the Picayune are
sent abroad and willie read by persons
who can not understanthe absurdity. II
by chance that accounthould be copied in
European journals, 0italists and emf
grants would avoid Loeiana as they would
a pest house, and the Few Orleans Plea
yune's lack of sense puld be the direct
cause.
Hundreds of well disosea citizens desire
to know if the Picayu, will acknowledge
it's error and make aendments, as far as
its weakness will pernt. ls

Bushwhacking.

With certain class of political agitators
the weapons that come most natural to the
hand are those that the child of the sun and
the brother Of the moon relied on for pro-
lection. One was designed to cause mortal
terror by it's horrible discord, and the other
effected its purpose by its assault on the
olfactory organs. Neither were particu-
larly deadly, and both ceased to be feared
when the foe was intelligent enough to
comprehend them. -.-.....
The sensational splurge of the Picay4',e
yesterday might be laughable were it not
for it's possible effect upon those who do
not understand the Picayuns's peculiari-
ties, and who presume it to be conducted
as other newspapers are. Behind the
mask of "immovable neutrality" this organ
seems to be carrying on the worst kind Of
political guerrilla warfare. There was q
time, during the last year of the war, when
the two contending armies were occupying
the territory of Northern Louisiana, their
lines some forty miles apart. In the
neutral ground, between the two lines,
bands of rufiians were rowing, COM
mitting inumberless depredations. The
rebel commander one day sent a flag of
truce to the federal post, covering q
proposition to proclaim an armistice for
fourteen days, and unite both forces in ex-
terminating these bands Of, sneaks and
plunderers on the neutral ground. Perhaps
it may come to this with Us in this political
campaign. The nuetral who was found
during the war was generally the worst
kind Of notwithstanding and sweet as the
army came up to him, but sneaking behind
the bushes and fences with his rifle to pick
off the stragglersi who Jagged behind.
This neutral seems to be persenided in the
Picayune. The Bulletin, however, the out
spoken organ of the Democracy, detects the
trick and prompt to- discover that such
proceedings are not a part of legitimate
political warfare, is as prompt to denounce
it, and condemn the spirit that prompted
it. The Picayu,,e has been detected too
promptly this time to do much harm; but
it has shown its capacity for mischief, and
therefore will be treated az it deserves here
after, s. o. |l- &. rll.'- ..
