man can, witbut danger Of his life, proclaim
his politics inhe streets IF our city.
The last instnce of batting we learn Of &C.
CURED on White street, near ITALIA, Wednes-
day. It appeas there is a negro church in
the neighborhUd in which, at all hours, are
congregated sveral of the corner grocery
politicians of he ward Two Woodworking
and industrious colored men, ON their way
home, were surrounded by a crowd and
severely maltsated. Imprecations were
poured forth On the Democratic party and
the coiored men who voted the ticket, after
which these sco,ndrels walked in promiscu-
ously to the defmseless conservatives.

About O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, as
James G. Taylor, President of the Third Ward
Colored Conservative Glib, was walking down
Delta street gang of RADICAL negroes poured
out OF Elephant Johnnies and began an attack
upon him. Stones, bricks, and, in fact, every
available missile, we're shDwered upon Taylor,
and pistols and knives bnndished. After sus-
tanning considerable injury he managed to
escape with his life. In the vicinity of Rle-
plant Johnnie's there an seldom any white
men during the day. His place is situated in
the neighborhood of a lage number of ware
houses, and is, as it wee, isolated from the
more populated portion of the ward. His
den has long been known as the resort of the
worst character of negroes, and is at present a
kind of headquarters fr the black thugs of
the Kellogg gang.
And AsoAer.
John Davis, who is wdl known as having
been one of the first to initiate the Conserva-
tive movement amongst the negroes, was
beaten Wednesday evening in the Third Ward,
it is supposed, by some 4 the same crowd
that has been taking charge Of this crusade all
over the ward.
When is all this going u end? These mis-
creants must sarely 4now that the white peo-
pie of this city are not going to submit to such
outrage4 and they will as surely
be taught ali appreciation of what people
thus insulted can do.
still Another.
Wednesday night about9 o'clock two col
cred men knocked at the gate of Mr.. Chas.
Wingfeld, an old colored man, aged 81 re-
siding on Seventh, between Baronne and Dry
AIDES streets, and when he opened the door
they asked him to come to the gate as they
wished to see him concerning some work.
Susrecting nothing he readily complied
with their request. They told him that
Mr.. Hill, residing at the corner of Euterpe
and Prytauia streets, wished to see him about
Z o'clock in the morning, and said: "Don't
fail to come"
Wingfeld replied, ~ will not" whereupon
be received q violent blow from club in the
hands of one of the parties, which inflicted
skull bare. Wingfeld staggered under the
blow.
His assailants then fled, and one of them
blew . whistle as a signal for party Of
dozen of their friends, were waiting at the
corner of Dryades street, all Of whom then
left.
As Mr.. Wingfeld was suspected of having
voted the Democratic ticket at the late cleo
ton, he supposes this to be the cause of this
most brutal assault.
In the rear of the Tenth and Eleventh
Wards of the city, gangs of negroes in squads
Of from ten to fifteen roam about nightly for
the purpose of waylaying colored Democrats.
If they fail to fndthose whom they seek on
the street, they will go to the residences of
heir victims, and calling them out, under
some shallow pretense, wantonly assault them.
These gangs go about unmolested, as late
sometimes as o'clock in the morning, the
police evidently being in sympathy with these
naruderS.
