THE WHITE LEAGUE.

The members Of tho White League in Louis
ana deny that theiriorg anizaiOn Is political one
A call was recently made for n State Convention
OF the White Leagues, Whereupon the Sixth Ward
White Club OF Now Orleana passed series of
resolutions which the Bulletin, the organ of the
Leagues, says are timely TO the purpose. In these
resolutions it Ia asserted that tho Whito Leagne
s not political patty, and that the Leagues will
not respond TO any call for political conventions,
the members being lett free to act according to
their individual vi0ws. The resolutions say that
as their etIorts to cOnoiliate the negroes with
view Of organizing good government in the State
have failed their advances having been met In
spirit of predetermined and rooted hostility to
the white raco, the Leagues have been formed
with no purpose OF trespassing upon the constitu
tiona mud legal rights Of others, AZ the only ade
auate means OF self-preservatiou. III the Lsae ne
proiessed to be political association there would
bo no reaeou for any ono ts complain about 1t, for
1t is notorious that the negroes Of Louisiana and
other Southern States are banded In leagues LOT
poltical purposes, and surely the whites have su
equal right to organize in the same manner. But
although the White Leagues may not act as a
political party their action will doubtless have an
important efiect upon Louisiana politics, far
by President Grant and his brother-in-iaw TO have
any voice In the infringement OF their own al
fairs
The prim ,ry object OF the leagues, however.
ls to retslate upon the negroes tor having abb
sorbed the largest share Of political power by do
prIsing them of opportunities for earning money
whenever white men can be found to supply their
place, whether in the way OF trade or labor. For

Of loading and unloading steamers has for years
been monopolized by the blacks, and 1t has been

MAN-AN INDIGNANT AND ANGRY ooMMUNI-
TY.
PrrTsFIELD, MASS, Aug. THE town is just
now in a fever against Willis A. Crossman.
young married man, well connected and hith-
erto considered respectable, who is accused OF
committing indecent assaults-said in one or
two Instances to amount to rape-on s'y or
eight little girls, all under twelve years old,
and most eff them the children OF very rcspec-
table c'tizens, although one is colored. Cross
man is alleged to have committed these out
RACES principally in the store of his father, A.
W. CrOssman, for whom he is clerk, and which
ia situated on Bradford street. at distance
from the business pert of the town. 1t is u
sort of neighborhood store to which children
are sent to make purchases, and Crossman is
said to have enticed them into the back room
with candies and sweetmeats.
Ho was arrested Monday OH a warrant sworn
out by one of tho fathers OF tho injured CHI
dren. Tho excitement was high dr ring the
afternoon and threats of violence were used
small but angry crowd surrounded the house
of the accused, at ever 'ng, but the arrest was
made quietly. 1t was thought best, however
to put Crossman m the Jail instead Of theloc
up for fea~ he might be lynched. Being an
ranged at the January term OF tho Supreme
Court in $1,000 for rape on Hattie Hadsell n
girl under ten years, and $500 for assault on
Minnie Parker, also under ten. Bail was not
procured and Crossman was committed. He
has been discovered in similar offences before
and let off in consideration of his parents who
are much esteemed and are prostrate on ac-
count of his present misdeed. Crossman also
has vito md one child.

s. S. G.. was in a condition to take any
notice-oi what was going on around hiu..
for to me Il appeared rs if he was under
the influence of u powerful narcotic, for
he seemed to lie in n kind of sleeping

above opinion in the fac; that he says,

from observation that perhaps one house
had been built in m the village within the
last ten wears. when in fact she two Revs.

The year 1872, the Lutheran House having
a snperscription above the door facing the
street giving name and date, all of which
il appears the writer did mo- observe.
They passed these churches on Friday and
again on Monday. As to the story of the
jealousy existing between the citizens oil
the two villages, &c, we will only say that
it is the story of some malicious party oil
our neighbcring village, and that the Rev,
S. s. G.. must be M of those educated
fools who allows himself to be used as
tool to SANDER and persecule their neigh

any person in this village. He has not
the honor of knowing any person in the

he would be able TO identify us. as vi
