ilered his gem of theatre, for week, to the

In connection with this benefit we have sug-
Sestion to offer, which, if acted upon, we believe
will realize large sum for the good cause. 1t IS
this:
We propose to have the ladies, during the
week, take possession of that part Of the theatre
allotted to them by Mr.. Bidweu, and act in tho
box Office as vendors of tickets; also to oficiate
At the door, serve as ushers, and provide pro-
grammes for sale, as well as bouquets, etc. Mr..
Bidwell authorizes US to say that the suggestion
meets with his hearty approval, AID further

theatre for any use they may see proper to put

crowds and fill the treasury. Let the ladies'

A Northern Witness.

Mr.. D. NJ. A. Jewett, United States Commits
sioner in this State, and who for some time past
has been located in Lincoln parish, has written a
letter to one of the Boston papers, the Globe, we
believe, on affairs in North Louisiana. His ac-
counts of the atrocities perpetrated by our white
people upon the negroes and Northern white men
are enough to make ANYBODY, fool enough to
believ' them, shudder. If Mr.. d. NJ. A. Jewett,
told the truth about us, we are O more barbarous
and ferociOus race than can be found in the wilds
of Africa and the first duty Of the civilized and
Christian people of the North should be to send
an army Of u million men here and hang, or
otherwise kill, the last one of us.
We intended publishing extracts from the Fed
eral officials letter, but the paper containing the
precious missive has been mislaid. Some Of his
extraordinary statements however, we remem-
Der. He says that not long since thirty negroes
near Shreveport were taken by the whites to the
banks of Red River, tied together with ropes,
shot to death and thrown into the stream, and
that they foated down the current, raft Of hu.
man corpses, until the alligators gave them a
burial humanity refused them. He charges that
some years ago DR.. Whitfield Vance, wei known
physician and wealthy planter in Bosser parish,
with his own aristOcratic hands hung two negro
women he met on the road; and that in Caddo
parish ever three hundred negroes and white
men have been murdered for being Republicans.
These are fair samples Of the statements made
to the Northern people through letter nearly
two columns IN length in e Boston paper.
And now who IS Mr.. ID. N. A. Jewett? He is q
Massachusetts, man and came to New Orleans
from his native State with numerous letters of
recommendations Upon the letters he Was
appointed agent Of the Louisiana Equitable Life
Insurance Company and located i'll this city,
where he was treated with uniform .indness,
and whore he prosecuted his business undis-
turbed. But something over year sgo the
general agent OF the company, Major W. c. Rob-
ms, Northern man and gallant officer in the
Federrl army during the war, visited this agency
and finding that Mr.. ID. NJ. A. Jewett had stolen
upwards Of a thousand dollars Of the company g
money, had him arrested for embezzlement.
Jewett was released on bond, but he has never
been back for trial and he now stands indicted
before the District Court Of Caddo parish as
thief. During his sojourn here he run his face
everywhere he could, and now owes nearly every
merchant in town. Major Robins requested
several Of the ral ties the fellow had swindled to
make affidavit against him, but as the sums were
generally snail, ranging from ten to thirty dol
lars, none of our merchants cared to bother with
him. On the return of Major Robins to New
Orleans. an agent OF tho company, now here, in
forms us, a correspondence was entered into with
the gentlemen IN Massachusetts from whom
Jewett had his letters OF Recommendation, and
it turned out all the letters were forgeries.-

FATAL ACCIDENTAL about 10 o'clock last
night there was an alarm sounded from the box
on Esplanade street at Vigilant Engine house by
some malicious person whose identity it was i'm
possible to obtain. The fire department re-
spondcd at once and hurried to what was thought
the scene OF danger.
The truck Of Pelican Hook and Ladder No. 4,
Oh its way thlher, whom near the corner Of Ram
part and Esplanade streets, unfortunately upset,
owing to the horses taking fright and serious
accident followed. The driver Of the truck was
violently thrown from his seat and dashed
against the pavement the truck passing over
and crushing him to death The wheels passed
over the head and body of Mr.. Charles Paulus,
the driver, horribly crushing and killing him
almost instantly.
reporter OF the BULLETIN, who was near the
spot, accompanied the party conveying the
corpse to the engine house, ard found that
Mr.. Pauus had been mangied by the truck
wheels. He could not have lived a moment after
receiving these injuries. The deceased was
gentleman Of about 26 years of age, and al en-
ergetic and faithful! fireman. and leaves sister
and brother to mourn his loss. Immediately
after the ACCIDENT medical aid was summoned,
but the unfortunate man WAS found to be dead.
1t Is stated that a certain physician was sum
moned to render his services to the dying man,
but inilumanly refused. At the same time, as
the engine Of Creole was on its way in response
to the alarm on Esplanade street, the horse
slipping on the pavement, fell, and the engine
passed over him.
The criminality Of sending false alarm will be
appreciated when the above sad disasters are
learned
1t is time that these scoundrels were taken and
sumarily dealt with. The cupable party who
turned in the alarm last night is deserving Of the
halter, as his act resulted in the death Of d gall
liant fireman.
Allen, Democrat, received SIT majority in In

E. Howard McCaleb, Esq., who was chosen by

Advisory Board created by the resignation OF
Major Z. A. Burke, took his seat yesterday and
will no doubt give the most complete satisfac-
ton in the difficult and delicate part he is called
| upon to play in the campaign. Much viii be ex-
pected OF him. however. as he fills the place Of
one o: the most indefatigable workers and thor
oughly posted gentlemen on our side of the

resignation, took occasion to indorse his every
for the inest.mable services he had rendered the

CITY DIRECTORY FOR 1S75.-This useful publ
cation again presents itself to the public. The
publishers, L. Soards & Co., have proved them
selve by their last work Of this kind in every way
worthy the confidence of the business commu-
nifty. With characteristic energy the publishers
have organized a corps OF well disciplined can
vassers composed Of young men Of this city.
thoroughly familiar with the people, location,
and various features OF the city, who will call on
all residents and bushes men.
II is evident to every observing mind that the
receipts from sales Of books do not 90 far in de
fraving the large expense inseparable from the
publication of work OF the magnitude Of the
New Orleans City Directory It is from the adj
vertising receipts that the publisher meets the
heavy expense Of canyassng, compiling and pub
fishing. If anything Is left it goes to the benefit
of the proprietor as remuneration OF his labors,
large outlay of money, and the risk attending
the enterprise.
Strangers naturally look to the City Directory
as an indication OF the progress OF the city and
the enterprise OF its business men. The correct
motto should be: Live ard let live and our
merchants will only help themselves when they
help make good city directory.
