The Arrests Mt Shreveport.
SHREVEPORT, October 22.-Yhe question
as 70 whether warrants were to be issued
for the arGes: o: the sixty nine merchants
who pledged themselves not to retain in
their employ persons who support che Rsdi-
cal party in the pending contest was to-day
settled in the affirmative, upon the author
ity OF General Merrill, United States army,
commanding this department.. and A. b.
Levisse, United States commissioner, who
stated that the papers we're being prepared.
and the arrests would probably be made to-
morrow.
Since the first announcement on Monday
last Of the intention Of the authorities to
make these arrests, Che temper Of the peO.
pie has greatly improved, and it is not now
probable that any of the parties will en-
deavOr to evade or resist arrest.
The parties interested have consulted
several leading attorneys, who advise them
that their pledge is not in violation Of the
enforcement act, in that it does not threaten
any one on account of race, color or pre-
viOus condition of servitude, and that .
general declaration to employ no one upon
certain conditions furnishes no ground for
= specific charge Of iDtimidating any certain
person..
The Epidemic Spreading.
Immediately after the authoritative an.
nounceInent of General Merrill and Judge
Levisse this morning, the pledge was
again put in circulation, and received 1870
additional signatures. These names include
the representatives Of nearly every business
establishment IN the city. Copies Of the
pledge were alec sent to the country, and
are said to have received the signatures of
planters in all parts Of the parish.
|: is not yet known whether any other
than the original sixty nine signers will be
arrested or not.

The Opera.

Mr.. l.. Placide Canonge is expected to

Perils of Southern Once Aolders.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-It may be
stated that the Austin, Brownsville and
Calvert postmasters are safe. Postmaster
General Jewell finds nothing tangible
against them. Those at Galveston, HOus-
ton and Dallas go certainly.
The Secretary of the Treasury will not
say certainly until after q consultation with
the President, but the indications point to-,
with one or two exceptions, including the
collector at Brownsville, general clearing
out will occur soon. Some of the officials Of
Attorney General Williams hold their places
by loose tenure. The Secretaries seem to
believe that they have been induced to
place in office persons deficient in morals
and manners, and they propose to unload
After Texas. South Carolina and Alabama
come up, and then there will be great
slaughter.
The Tribune has a special from Washing
ton which says that Special Agents faryan
and Woodward to-day made their report
upon the federal office holders in Texas. It
was in the form of Joint report to Secre-
tary BristOw and Mr.. Jewell. The report
will be laid before the President on Friday,
together with the recommendation that all
the principal treasury officers in the State,
with the possible exception of the collector
of the port at Galveston and the pOstmas-
ters of the leading towns, be removed.
The names Of the successors have been
determined on. and are said to embrace
some Of the very best men in the State.
Senator Flanagan has persuaded some of
the officers to be removed not to resign,
assuring them that he can and win protect
them in the Senate. Tho President, how
over, has promised to stand by the Treas
ury and Postoffice Departments in this
effort to reform the service.
Senator Flanagan's position is held to be
a matter of very little consequence, except
as it affects himself. The report submits
several casos in which money was paid to
him by those appointed and confirmed to
office. The evidence is all presented to
show that such payments to him were far
from unusual.
In the case Of ono assessor of internal
revenue $4,000 was paid-one-third of it to
Flanagan. The case against him is
one that the Senate can no: fail to take &C.
ton on. As soon as Texas affairs are dis
posed of, the cases Of two other Southern
States will be taken up and proceeded with
vigorously-probsbly South Caroline and
Alabama.

The Recent Attack ON John (:air.

Inc Recent AlI0Ck ON JOn0 Ns01fs
We have received a printed statement OF
John Gair and the three gentlemen who
were with him when he was shot. on the
eighteenth instant. in East Feliciana par
ish. We regret the inability of the gentle
men to find the would.be assassin, which is
more strange as the shooting occurred in
broad. open daylight. when the bright eun
was almost at its meridian. No aiiusion is
made to the character of the surrounding ng
country: no reference is made to trees or
other cover for a concealed foe. though it is
presumed the means o: ambush were at
hand. We extract the following from the
circular of the three gentlemen alluded to !:
ATTEMPTED AsSAssrNATION--HON.JO JOHN GAIR

The Hon. John GAR. Of East Feliciana.
ex.member of the House. Of Representa-
tiyes, and candidate tor the Senate for this

shot by some parties unknown, near
Thompson creek, at Il:3o "A. N. TINS day.
with a rifle. The ball entered the head on
the lett side back Of the ear, ranging down.
ward. and lodged under the jaw.bone.
Being conveyed TO jackson by Captain
Bannon. who was in the buggy when the
shot was fired by the would-be assassin.
medical aid was Immediately summoned.

Spies And Plunder.

There have been two very significant
meetings recently held in the citv Of
New York; one Of them to utter the
most vigorous protest against imitation
and the other to expose the enormities
Of the revenue and moiety laws, and to
demand the most prompt and thorough
redress. Such meetings are the most
striking proofs of the power of nuhl;c
opinion. When wrong is once plainlv
disclosed in this country, there is an
instant readiness to discuss it and I to re. m
move it. If. it be deeply rooted in
every kind of interest and prejudice. As
slavery was, the contest may be LONG,
but it is not srelaxed; and when the he
abuse at is onlya legal outrage and enormity
like the present revenue laws, it inspires
warning thunder Of remonstrance
which Congress cannot fail to hear and
heed. The wrongs Of the revenue sys-
