A PUP IN A PRESS-R00M



The Virginia, New, Enterprise relates
this canine experience Stale Printer
Putnam, who has been sojOurnlng in this
city for a few days past, returned to Car.
son last Sunday noon. He was presented
with a fine Newfoundland pup while
here. For safe keeping this juvenile son
of bis mother was placed in the Eitsrprise
press-rOom last Saturday night. As he
was now the property of printer he felt
ii duty he owed his master 10 get an in
sight into the business at once. After
inspecting the running of a job press for
some time with much interest, he went
up 10 II and stuck his nose between pair
of cog wheels. Leaving between the
wheels piece of the skin Of his nose
about the size of trade dollar, he retired
TO q corner and sat down for time to
reflect upon the first lesson.
After he had for some time paved and
licked his wounds his attention was at
tracted to the bed of the power-press,
which seemed to be shooting In and out
In playful manner. After this he
started, encouraged by seeing that 1t re-
treated from him, but was almost in.
stantly knocked down by the swift return
of the bed. Here he thought he had
found a foe worthy of his steel. At II he
went, tooth and nall, and was regularly
knocked down as each paper was struck
of, for about three hours. He then sat
down and watched the "thiDg" the rest
Of the night, bobbing his head up and
down, as the bed plate moved in and out,
but cured of battling with it. Being shut
up In the room and left to his own de-
vices until noon on Sunday, he found an
empty ink barrel on its side and made
thai his home. Being black as ink him
self, the condition Of his coat was not
discovered until his master had taken him
aboard the train for Carson. 1t was then
found that he was as full of ink as one
of the lnk-balls used by printers In the
early days of printing. Being an affec-
tionate and playful little euss, the con-
stenation which he created aboard that
train can well be imagined. Al last IL
was found necessary to wrap and tie him
in a lot of newspapers, and thus the
printers dog rode away with his new
master, as newspaper carrier to begin
with.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

On the eve of its accession TO power We
would offer to the Democratic party ana us
leaders word Of caution. After suffering
political vassalage of fifteen years 1t mas JUST
thrown off the yoke and is soon to assert us
freedom and enjoy the fruits OF Its victory
So great political change-from aoject slave
nv to unlimited liberty-is calculated 70 en-
gender a spirit of intemperance and rashness,
which, unless repealed and controlled Will
nronpt the commission OF some unwIse ana
improper act.
The partv assumes the control of the Gov
eminent with very grave responsibility
hanging over it. The many abuses OF the
preceding administration have TO be corrected,
the wrongs Of the people have to be righted,
and an honest, Intelligent and economical
Government is to be established in lieu Of
the corrupt infamous and disgusting usur-
patton that, with its tyranny and oppression,
has ground the people to the very earth. The
thought must not be entertained for a moment
that because our party has triumphed and our
own people have come into possession OF those
lucrative offices created by Radical legislation,
that they are to be permitted to enjoy the ex-
travagant fees and excessive salaries.
The people are too poor to pay the heavy
taxes that have been levied upon them in order
to enrich, at their expense, the army OF Office
holders-who accumulate fortunes III single
term of office. Reform in this direction IS
confidently expected, and public expectation
must be fulfilled, or else there will 60 up such
a howl of indignation as will make the bold
est tremble with fear.
Retrenchlnent must not only be the watch
word, but it must be practically illustrated.
In every department OF government there IS
room for improvement, and radical changes
mnst be made ia order to salty the demands
of the people.
The Democratic party will soon be on trial.
The movements Of its leaders will be closely
watched Much is expected Of them, and II
they would command the respect and support
of the people, they must act with discretion,
deal fairly and honestly, be governed by
patriotic and not selfish motives, and prove &c
the country that they are worthy to be en-
trusted with the destinies of the State and the
interests Of the people

THE LOUISIANA CONSPIRACY.

Under the above heading, the New York
S,n. Of the 10Th inst, has a double-leaded
editorial which we commend to the careful
perusal, not alone Of our people, but OF the
parties who might be rash enough to under
take the perilous job of which Packard, kel-
Iogg & CO. will doubtless try to get SO somebody
else than their own precious selves to assume
the risk The allusion to the fate of the lam
many thieves is ominous, and its application
| to the leaders OF the Louisiana Radical ring
is one of those coming events which cast their
shadows before.
We learn from very Trustworthy sources that
it is the purpose of the carpet-ba9 authorities
in Louisiana to count in the Republic an can
didates for State officers, with the minority If
not all OF the Republicans who ran for Con-
eress and sufficient number OF the defeated
| nominees TO the Legislature to control that
body and thereby prevent the impeachment OF
Kellogg and secure the United States Senator
| Grant is in the plot and has agreed to carry 1t
through with the bayonets of the army. Inc
ultimate object which Grant is aiming ut is
underst BOD to be the election OF his brother
in-law Casey to the Senate.
We learn further that if this great crime
against the people OF LOUISIANA Is ptrpellaieu,
the conspirators profess to apprehend that
vengeance will be summarily inflicted upon
some of their leaders; and they name Kellogg
and Packard as two whom the Conservatives
have resolved to put to death.
We credit the report that the thieves who
have so long preyed upon Louisiana under
cover of Grants protection intend to commit
these frauds upon the elective franchise; and
there is no doubt that Grant will countenance
and sustain them now as he has heretofore
done in the commission OF these felonies But
we hopeno outbreak Of violence will follow from
these wrongs. True, if Kellogg, Packard and
Casey were to be killed, three sneaking val
lains would be put permanently out OF the
way but no good would come OF it SO long as
those three holder villains, Grant, Williams
and Robson, could use the army, the navy,
and the courts to defy and set at naught the
| verdict Of the electors delivered at the polls.
Retribution may advance slowly, but it is
sure to come, though not by the violent she'd
ding of blood, however vile. AIMED with the
majesty of the law, the new House Of Repre-
sentatives will lay bare the Louisiana inta-
mics, while the results Of the next Presidential
election will send some of the head conspira-
tors to the Penitentiary, unless they emulate
the example and follow in the footsteps of the
cognate scoundrels Of the old Tammany ring,
and flee to climes where extradition treaties
are unknown.

LCDELING ON THE BENCH.
THE COURT ROOM CROWDED..

There was a considerable gathering Of the
bar in the Supreme Court this morning,
drawn together by desire to see whether his
Chief Justiceship WOULD take the bench. All
available seats werEakeu ana the chairs out
side the ratings filed. At II 4. NJ. the men,
bers Of the court, headed by Ludeling.
marched soemnly in and took their places,
after which the minutes ot the eour. were

rifle position. In a low, well-modulated voice
he began reading decisions, and gradully he
became more and more used to the situation,
and felt less tie presence OF so many men,
beers Of the bar, all Of whom were closely
scrutinizing his every action.
It must have been a trying ordeal to him. Tor
so general has been the expression Of disgust
at his course among the legal fraternity, he
could not but appreciate the reason OF the
gathering. Up to the time OF going to press,

A CLOUD OF PECKPOCkETS.

With the arrival OF SO many strangers IN our
city, it is not strange fact that an entire
regiment Of pickpokats, from all points OF the
compass, should also with them h-ther here.
The arrival Of almost every s.a-n OF boat from
the North. East and West, brin1s with it It's
quota Of the ight-fingerrod gentry and now
already the cityis filed to repletion with them.
AS they are not all known to the police, orr
peelers viii have to keep their eyes and feet
on the alert, and wherever they see one Of
them acting even suspiciously. they must
pounce down on him and not give them
show to ply their ubiquitous calling. These
thieves are all quite young, the Oldest of them
is not above u, and they are to be noted by
their chang dog" and ''devil-may-care aspect. 2"
We hope our peelers will not give them
show, but nip their ight-fngered operations
in the bud, and thereby acquire good prestige
with their brass buttoned brethren OF adjoin-
ing cities.

Alas for ST. Columbus. Hardly has he been
snugly placed in the calendar with the Boni-
faces and Gregories when he is declared by
good authority to have been as veritable a
wretch as the rest sof the adventures Of his
day. We have been in the pleasant habit OF
considering him shining exception to his
day and generation. The Appletons have just
sent out volume that plucks him as bare as
buccaneer. The book is exquisitely savage,
and is charming reading for those who like
naked facts. If Columbus doesn't like it, he
must materialize, and give that author fits.

ALMOST "A RIOT.
A Bloody Row in the Third Ward.

Notwithstanding the many warnings given
to the negro Radical shoulder-hitters, it
appears they are still determined to pursue
their course of intimidation and thuggery
towards every colored man who voted with
the Conservatives.
Sunday afternoon, at the rear end OF the
Poydras Market, there came very near being
bloody and desperate riot, and as 1t was
there was a very serious disturbance.
There is meeting place at the corner OF
Basin and Poydras streets, where most OF
those colored men who are Democratic In
principles are in the habit of assembling to
talk over the situation and exchange views on
the questions involving their future.
This has been thorn in the side of the
Radical negroes who densely populate the
surrounding neighborhood and they deter
mined to prevent these gatherings.
Sunday afternoon, two bullies Wallace
and Howard, perceiving Willis, Henderson
and several other colored men talking togeth-
err, and followed by some sixty other negroes,
commenced an assault upon Henderson and
his companions.
The fight lasted for some time, and several
were severely injured. Two white men tried
to interfere to protect Hendersons party. and
they too were beaten badly about the head and
face. Negroes gathered from all the side
Streets and at one time it looked as though a
general uprising was imminent. The police
officer on the beat, Sam Hales, left for parts
unknown, and did not return for some hours,
he evidently being too willing to be out OF the
way when this kind of work was going on.
The following is {. partial list of those hurt:
Solomon Thomas, beaten by Howard Henry
Scott. struck by Louis Raymond Benz. Reid,
beaten by Albert CASTILLO with a club: Willis
Henderson, beaten by Wallace.
We call upon those in command Of the va
rous organizations to see that these outrages
be stopped at once The police are entirely
too weak to protect our citizens, and we must
therefore take the matter into our own hands.
Let that nei ghborhood be patrolled, and sum
mary punishment melted out to those attempt
fng to assault any one on account OF h's
political opinions. The time is past for words
