The Murder of MunOs.

We declared in the outset that the organ
ization of the order Of the White League
in Louisiana and other Southern States was
a step toward the assassination of negroes;
that it was the revival of the Ku-Klux un-
der another name. We predicted that
bloodshed would speedily follow the threats
of the league itself and the more violent
outbursts Of passion which found place in
the editorial columns of the pro-slavery
newspapers of the South. We say pro-
slavery, because we mean it. We mean
that ex-rebels are again coming to the front:
that they are once more showing their
teeth, and that their hostility is directed
against negro suffrage, with the ultimate
purpose of reducing the colored people to .
state of virtual if not actual slavery. This
is startling proposition, but it is warranted.
by the notorious fact that hundreds OF

The American Ball Players.

LONDON, August AIN the base ball
game yesterday the Bostons reached first
base nine times on errors of the Athletics.
The game lasted two hours and ten minutes.
The bowling of the Americans in the
game Of cricket was weak. The newspapers
consider that playing the Americans at
base ball and cricket alternately yesterday
gives the MarylebOne Club an undue ad
vantage as 80 much exertiOn must fatigue
their opponents. The journals publish long
details of the game of base ball, giving full
explanations. The beautiful catching of
the Americans is particularly referred to.
. The game of cricket at Lords was re-
finished their innings for total of lO5 runs;
the Americans then went to the bat, and
made 72 runs for ten wickets. The game
will be finished tomorrow, the Americans
having eleven more wickets to fall. The
base ball game was not played this after
noon in consequence of unfavOrable
weather, and for the same reason the at
tendance of spectators was small.

The report that Germany sent note to

Murder and Robbery.

Last Saturday morning one of the colored
laborers on George c. Purvis' plantation. a
mile north of Delhi, discovered dead body
lying in Bayou Macon. near what is known
as "the Oliver spring" Justice Mont
gomery, being notified Of the fact, repaired
to the spot with a Jury of inquest, and pro-
ceeded to hold an inquest. The jury found
that the person had been murdered but the
BODY had been so badly mutilated as to
DESTROY all traces OF the mans features.
They took the precaution, however, to take
off one of his boots, his spur, piece Of each
article of clothing found on the body and a
pocket knife and pipe found in the pants
pocket, by which it was soon ascertained
that the murdered man was a German,
named Ullmer. who resided near Lake
Providence, Carroll parish, and who had
recently been travelling through this part
of the country, buying cattle. The last
seen of him was when he left this place on
Saturday evening, July Ii; and investiga-
tions had since the discovery of the body
have established the fact that he was muir
dered on the road leading from this place
to Floyd, opposite the place where the body
was found; that the body was taken to the
bayou, disemboweled and thrown into the
water.
Other discoveries made by the committee
appointed by the citizens to ferret out and
prosecute criminals, they do not deem
proper to make public at this time; and the
public will have to exercise patience until
the proper time for the matter to be laid
before it; and in the meantime every good
citizen should do everything in his power
to assist this committee in its arduous and
responsible duty, as the well being of the
entire community depends upon its success
and the enforcement of the laws right at
this time.
The murder Of this man was more das-
tardly, cold blooded act than that of Mr..
Arbuckle, for his murderers knew that there
were at least two men and a woman on the
boat, and that they were provided with
means of defense before they attacked the
boat, while these murderers of Ullmer
knew that he was unarmed and alone, for
his pistol had been stolen from him while he
was in town, and he had no travelling COM
panion, which shows that the murderers
could have had no other object in killing
him than that of concealing their robbery
and to satisfy fiendish thirst for human
