EdifOr New Orleans Bulletin:


Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear Sir-Thinking few lines from your
correspondent in regard to occurrences at this
ancient town would be acceptable, have con-
cluded to forward them by this day. mail.
I reached here on Wednesday last, and was
somewhat surprised to find that nearly all the
summer sojourners had left for their winter
quarters in your city and Mobile. there are
but few families remaining. The Hon. E.
North Cullom, Col. G. T. Howard and Henry
Miller, Esq. Biloxi has been well patronizsd
the past summer. Everybody seems to be en-
ioying themselves.
AS a closing scene for the season, a very
spirited race came of ON Saturday last, which
was rendered all the more exciting by the nu-
merous attendance of the beauty of the villa,
a large number of ladies' honoring the Occa-
sion with their presence.
The contest was between Mr.. W. T. Harri-
sons splendid charger "LeCleir" and Mr.. Geo.
Dyche's blooded horse 'Blue Dick" LeCleir
had the call from the fyst, his hackers betting
two and three to one on him, and we'll he
proved his metal by passing the home-stand
at least six lengths ahead of his competitor
Quite an amount OF stamps changed hands,
the ladies' entering into the spirit OF the race
bv backing their favorite, wagering gloves,
etc., etc. Each horse was ridden by his owner,
and most gracefully did they perform the
jockeys duty
The young gentlemen of Biloxi have re-
Gently formed military company, number
ing about seventy rank and file. The uni
forms are being made in New Orleans their
guns and accoutrements are now on their
way from New York. This company consists
mostly OF young men who have seen cannon
ball in the air and heard the whiz of shell
on the hillsides and in the valleys Of Old Vir-
ginia. The weather here, the fishing and
hunting, all are just delightful.
Yours truly, II. ". ).

Forty Years Among the Indians.
[Leavenworth Commercial, Oct. 8.

Almost half a century has Jim Ramon been
among the Indians. Since the Alamo massa-
ere in Texas, where his father, Davy Crocket
and other heroes were slaughtered by Indians
and more savage Mexicans, Jim Ramon has
seen more of aboriginal barbarism than Of
civilization. Being taken prisoner at the
Alamo slaughter, he remained with various
tribes nine years, being traded from one to the
other like slave After his escape he entered
the service of the Government as scout
guide and interpreter. in which employment
be has remained steadily for twenty -seven
years.
Where any careful scouting was needed
old Jim's services were demanded; and from
the Missouri to the Pacific, trcm the Rio
Grande to the British possessions, this famous
guide has assisted our Indian and War De-
partments. His adventures in the mountains,
floods and plains are as surprising as thoae
described in the Leather Stocking works Of
Cooper. He has lived nmong the Indians SO
long that he knows their history, habits and
deviltry as well as they do. He reads their
movements in smoke and fire, as well as by
the pony's trail and the mark Of their mecca
sin. His knowledge Of the dialects Of the
tribes is most comprehensive, and no peace
commission or warike expedition is complete
without him.
He is now in Leavenworth on his way West,
to assist the military commanders in entor.
cling obedience to benefcent Uncle Sam,
being under orders direct from headquarters
in Washington. His destination is North
west, where he can exercise the greatest inf1u-
ence, being connected by marriage with one
of the principal chiefs OF that region. His
father-in-law is the most prominent Indian
Free Mason on the plains, having taken the
Royal Arch degree. jim is Master Mason,
and he ascribes the peaceful character OF GER
tain tribes and bands mainly to the benignant
influences of Masonry. He leaves on his
mission to-day, and we trust all our readers
will join with US in wishing the old scout,
Jim Ramon, success and more quiet life in
his declining years.

GALVESTON NEWS.

GALVESTON, Oct. 14.-Hon John Hancock ad-
dressed very large assemblage of people last
night. In alluding to the recent letter OF Z. J.
Davis, he said:
1t was infamous in its character and designed
alone for political capital at the North. He re-
GREETED it's appearance, as coming fir m man
who had made his residence among 10. For such
a man to denounce the people of Texas i'll the
manner he did, representing them to be ruth
less as the Indians on the border, was pertdious,
and could only have emanated from bad, black,
villainous heart.
It was prepared as a campaign document to
carry the elections and to give the Republican
party pretext to overthrow the State Govern
merts at the South, under the stigma that they
do net afford protection to certain classes, and
fail to carry out the laws of Congress-"

To Messrs. Bayly Pond:
Gentlemen-In compliance with your request,
we will state that the report that has been cir
culated to the effect that We indorsed a. correct
the statement Of loss sustained by you, a. made
out by the insurance companies, is not true. On
all occasions we have maintained that their state
ment was erroneous. Had al the books OF the
firm been saved, which was cot the case, we nm
hesitatingly affirm that the process adopted by
the Insurance Companies to ascertain your loss
would be Incorrect.
To force you to . settlement on their basis Of
adjustment ID manifestly unjust.
Very Respectfully,

Our young friend, Mr.. Marshall J. Smith,
Jr., paid US visit this morning for the pur-
pose of saying farewell. Mr.. Smith leaves
this evening for Europe to perfect himself in
his profession of portrait and landscape paint
ing. We wish him safe journey and all the
success his young heart may desire.
This appears to be an area of ecclesiastical
dissension and trouble. While some Of our
religious communities aye engaged might and
main in indicating the soiled regulations OF
their pastors, others are equally disturbed
about church reforms, ritualistic disputes and
internal dissensions. The heresy of DIR.
Swing in Presbyterianism, the high and low
church in Episcopacy, the discussions Of the
disciples of John Wesley, AMI the struggle
between Unitarianism and Universalism is at
last supplemented by the withdrawal Of DR..
Sparks from the Baptist denomination on
account of its incompatibility with free and
general communion. What next?

We observe in the Carrollton SentinA the
Republican State and parish ticket att its mast
head. Among the candidates is the name OF
DR.. j. N. Folwell, for Coroner. We would
like to know if the name of this gentleman
has been used with his knowledge and con-
sent. DR.. Folwen was candidate for coroner
before the Democratic Convention, and we
are slow to believe that he would permit the
use of his name for the distraction of the
party to which he is so much indebted tor
political favors.

department of the London Times ever since

OF all the conundrums of the day, the fol-
lowing, from one of our exchanges, is the
greatest: elbow do some people live?" OF
course, they live by drawing their breath ; by
eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. That isn't the
answer, however, because that isn't the ques-
ton What we want to know u.s. howlal the
GROWERS make the wherewithal to 1--we on?
Every second man one meets says he has MT
made five dollars in month. But the oddly
of it is he spends from one to five dollars a
day or more. Where does it come from? If
nobody is making anything trade be SO dull
that tradesmen haven't enough to do to keep
them awake, if nobody be doing anything
how do they live? Are they like mice in the
middle of q cheese, eating their way out Of
difficulties? It's a funny conundrum, and we
should like to have it answered.

SYSTEMATIC MISREPRESENTATION.

It would really appear as IT there were a
bureau in this city for the manufacture and
circulation OF the most barefaced falsehoods in
regard to the white citizens Of New Orleans
and of the State. We rarely ever pick up a
paper fron the North or West that does not
contain some Misrepresentation so utterly
without color or foundation as to suggest
either the most culpable and extraordinary
credulity, or the most corrupt and malicious
motives on the part Of the parties sending the
dispatches. It may be that correspondents OF
certain papers in the wild hunt for informa-
ton, and in the laudable wish to beat the cor
respondent of some rival paper, accept as
gospel the statements of Tom, Dick, and
Harry, and send them over the wires without
the least attempt to verify them.
We were particularly surprised to find float
ing through the Western press the following
special dispatch, which is credited to the New
York Herald:
THE SITUATION CRITICAL.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Herald s New
Orleans special says the situation there IS very
critical Kellogg is still guarded at the State
House by the police and military. The white
Leaguers are defiant and continue their DEM
onstrations nightly.
The correspondent who sent that dispatch
either did it in the interest of Mr.. Kellogg, or
he was misinformed. The only recent DEM
onstration by the White League was in the
interest of peace and order, and in the at
tempt to aid the police in suppressing a riot
GUS demonstration by negroes, which the
metropolitans were unable to quell.
The White League has not been defiant, "
and is not continuing nightly their demon
STATIONS" and this the correspondent should
have ascertained for himself
We have no objection to the truth being
telegraphed about us, but we shall not quietly
submit to gross and injurious misrepresenta-
tiOnS.

RESULTS OF THE Use OF IMPROVED Arms
The French war Office is credited with having
worked out some statistics of the percentages
of losses in battles fought with old-fashioned
and improved arms As the French armies
were engaged in these battles some allowance
must be made for the patriotic bias" even in
arithmetical calculations, but such statistics
as are presented seem to show that there has
been q great reduction in the cost to life Of
war, brought about by the use Of improved
arms. At the battle of Friedland lover sixty
years ago) the French are said to have lost IA
per cent and the Russians 80 per cent. of tho
troops engaged. At Wagram the French 10
per cent. and the Austrians IA per cent. at
Moscow the French 80 and the Russians A
per cent. at Waterloo the French SO and the
allies 80 per cent. Forty years later, with i'm
proved weapons in use the French at Magenta
Tort per cent. and the Austrians the same; at
Solferino the French and Sardinians 10 per
cent. and the Austrians only per cent.

It may be interesting to public officials to
know that in the case of the defalcation in
the New York State Treasury, the court at
Albany held that the use Of public money for
private purposes, no matter whether the Off
cial intended to return it or lot, constituted
larceny. 1t is well to make note of that.
Sometimes it happens in New York that the
witnesses in criminal cases are punished with
greater severity than the criminals themselves,
for the latter often go UNPUBLISHED, while the
witnesses are locked up in Jail. The Tribune
says that, CT the witnesses nov in confine-
ment, one has been held 314 and another 223
days, and of the others, all have been held
over two months, three of them 50 days, and
one 1OS days. The "speedy trial" which is
guaranteed to persons charged with crime
should be granted them, in the interest of the
witnesses, if not in the interest of the accused
and Of public justice.

come up which ought not to be considered unless
some OF these ambitious members got chance
to air their eloquence in the committed room,
John Brown, of Tenncssve, insisted that the
of one from each State. Then, on motion, it was
ordered that committee OF three from each
State be appointed on resolutions, to whom all
resolutions shall be referred without debate.
1t was then resolved to appoint committee OF
one from each State, to prepare an address upon
the condition of affairs in the Southern States.
A debate arose as to the number to be appoint
ed on the committee on address, to which the
delegation from Mississippi wanted larger num-
Der than one.
r.. c. Camp said he was willing for Mississippi
to have two members and cast one vote; Tennes-
see had brains enough in one man to ill place
on that committee.
Mr.. Brown, Of Miss, said that Mississippi had
brains enough to equal any State, and was not
afraid to compare with any reconstructed State
Another delegate said he hoped Tennessee
would not put up Brownlow as a sample OF their
brains -,
Gov. Brooks, Of Arkansas. moved the appoint
ment of a committee Of one from each State
delegation to gather and collect facts and status
tics In regard to the condition OF the Southern
States.
Gen. Davis, Of Texas. thought this should be
the proyince Of the Committee on Address, and
moved that Gov. Brooks motion be laid on the
table, but withdrew the motion to allow BROOKS
to explain.
Gen. Brooks said his only object was to divide
the labor and facilitate the business OF the con-
yen,ion, The Committee on Address would have
enough to do to work up the facts furnished
them he wished also the committee to be made
perpetual, and continue the collection OF facts
and statistics until the object was accomplished.
Fresh facts would be counstantly transpTing,
he annrehended fearful facts and they should be
reserved and kept before the country.
Gov. Brooks motion was then adopted.
Madison Davis, Of Georgia, moved for the sp-
