a Valiant Policeman.

At our Police Court the other day two
raigned on a charge of refusing to assist an
officer in making an arrest. Three OF the
accused were fined five dollars each. which
fine we had expected to have seen RENTED.
As we have high respect for Judge SHELLS
sense Of justice, we conclude that he acted
in the matter in accordance with his convic-
tons Of duty. What is remarkable about
the case, however, is that an able bodied
officer, six feet tall, with two strong arms,
should find it necessary to call upon by
ISLANDERS to assist him in arresting drunken
man after he had him down, and had dubbed
him to his hearts content, and this drunken
man with but one arm, the other having been
lost in Sighting for his country. The boys
who were fined did not appear to be more
than fourteen or fifteen years old, and they
might well have pleaded inability to cope
with man so powerful that a policeman,
armed with a club, could not subdue him.
1t strikes us that some other man could be
very probably substituted for this policeman
who would be better able to arrest q one
armed drunken man. With our views as TO
the duty of the citizen to society we feel
that in case of real necessity an officer
should be backed up in the discharge Of his
duty by any bystander. In the case Of the
two boys, however, it appears to us that in
complaining against them and having them
lined the officer acted from sheer chagrin and

True to Her Record.

The bloody parish of Rapides gives us
another chapter Of crime. We copy the par
ticulars from the Gazette of the Fourth. An
inoffensive colored man was killed, and no
arrest or investigation had. Is there no way
of making the officials of that parish do their
duty? If not, then the sooner Governor
kellogg proclaims martial law, and sends a
squad of Metropolitan militia there, with
Captain Mccain, or as good man, for
military governor. the better:
1t becomes our painful duty to record the
outrageous killing of an inOffensive colOred
man, on Saturday last, near town, by crazy,
beardless youngster, who is not a citizen of
Rapides and had just arrived here from Tex
as. We could not ascertain the facts and
particulars of the difficulty between them
about bottle of whisky. Such unfortunate
occurrences are much deplored by all our citi-
zens and calculated, unjustly too, to cast a
stigma abroad upon the good name Of our
parish. The lives Of our people, both white
and black, must be protected by the strong
arm of the law. The unanimous voice of
our people and welfare of the community
demand it. We are surprised, indeed, to
hear that no arrest and investigation OF the
case has been made. The people all over
the parish of Rapides, withOu regard to race
or color, demand that our civil authorities be
more prompt and active in the discharge OF
their duty.-Ne,c Orleans Republican. ..F

XIII the Nigger!o

xiii the niger! Kill the nigger!" was
the cry heard on Eleventh street, southeast,
on Monday aftsrnoon last. 4 crowd of white
men. assisted y Policeman by the name Of
W. T. Andersen ,weke cnsing acolored man
and stoning him, and ,as IL the palny DAYS OF
slavery, were raising howl to kill the "nig.
GER" Upon inquiry, it was found that the
colored man had pulled from the grasp of the
valiant policeman, Anderson, to whom ref
erence Is elsewhere made, and attempted to
run. 1t was very naughty thing for the man
to 10, but scarcely ba d enough to Justify a
mob, without rebuke from the policeman, in
beating him with stones. There was spice
OF injustice, as we learn the facts, in arrest
ing the man, in tho first place. The charge
against him can Be ea1fly made against any
man, providing polickman can. be found suf-
fciently spiteful to makelt. Hewas charged
with loud and boisterous conversation. The
policeman's idea Of loud and boisterous con.
versation differed very much from that of
other persons. IF policeman has preiu.
dice against man and is DESTROYS of clubbing
him and taking him to the station-house, he
arrests him on the above charge and con-
strues any denial Of the charge into resist
ance and straightway inddlges in clubbing
his prisoner. This policeman, who, by the
way, has chronic disposition for calling on
the mob to assist him in. giving his testi-
mony, failed to give any idea of what he
considered loud and boisterous conversa-
ton. And, in our judgment, his proceed
ing in the matter, was impelled by feel
ing OF animosity towards the colored
people more than by a desire to see that the
laws are respected. We are the friends of
law and order, and believe in furnishing
offenders against the law, but we are de-
cldedly opposed to policemen so conducting
themselves by spiteful action as to induce a
violation of law. Such policeman should
be removed at once. Nor we do think that
because the clubbing of colored men furnish
es an enjoyable entertainment to crowd of
white roughs that our policemen should in
dulge in it.

Dissraceful Riot between Two
Church Congregations.
From the Reading PA. Eagle, June, 3

From the Reading PA. Eagle, June, 80.
Yesterday there was a disgraceful scene
enacted at the Muddy Creek Church, one
mile from Williamstown, Lancaster county,
in which nearly hundred male members
of the Lutheran and Reformed congregation
took part. A preacher was bodily carried
off the grounds, the palings of the fence
were torn Off and used as weapons, fists
were freely used, and general riot prevailed,
during which number of men were fearfully
beaten. An eyewitness from this city, who
returned to Reading last evening, gives the
particulars as follows.
The Muddy Creek Church has always
been recognized as a Union Church, and used
by the Lutheran and Reformed consreoa.
tions. They met there alternately. Some
time ago a majority ofthe Lutherandenomin-
alton, from some cause or other, saw fit to
agitate the question of obtaining charter
Others opposed it, on the ground that they
had no right to have it Incorporated as a
Lutheran Church when it was not so, but
was Union Church. A majority, however,
decided to get a charter, which they did, and
there Immediately arose discord and disa-
greement, the min ority among the Lutherans
being aided and abetted by the Reformed
congregation, who, it is said, had not been
made aware Of the proceedings until it was
too late.
Yesterday was the first Sunday under the
new charter, and it was proposed to hold
Lutheran services. The anti-charter party,
together with the Reformed, mustered all
their forces in front of the church at an early
hour, and determined that no such services
should be held. The charter party arrived,
but did not enter the church. Matters APP
peared very foreboding, but when the Rev.
Mr.. Henry, the Lutheran pastor, arrived it
was thought the services would be allowed
to proceed. The reverend gentleman, in the
name ofthe Lord, asked that no disturbance
should take place, and he walked toward the
church door. Seeing this the crowd of anti
charterites closed in on the preacher and
carried him bodily outside of the gates.
Then Mr.. Pennypacker endeavored to en-
ter the church, and he in turn was very
roughly handled. This excited the charter
party, who rushed to the fences, torn off
palings, and then commenced an onslaughter.
The fight continued for some time, until two
constables arrived and quelled the riot. At
one time the melee is described to have been
terrible, many men having been savagely
and roughly used and beaten.

The funeral of the gifted and brilliant
young lady, whose obituary appeared in last
weeks issue, took place on Wednesday, the
LIST instant, from the family residence, north
west corner Howard and Clay streets, Bal
tmore Maryland, and was most largely
attended, many of her friends being present
from Washington, Philadelphia, and other
with the choicest floral offerings. The WASH
ington ladies' presented a large and most
beautiful cross. There was an anchor OF
rarest flowers, to which was attached cord,
with the inscription: "With the love and

Here, under the vaulted dome Of this
venerable and historic temple, the funeral
services proper were gone through with, the
officiating priest paying the deceased most
loving, tender, and eloquent tribute. The

past seven, and just as the glorious king OF
day was throwing his last lingering rays over
nature, and bathing the landscape in soft,
delicious light, all that was mortal of this
beautiful young woman was consigned to its
last resting place. May she rest in peace.

1t will send forth no uncertain sound, believing,
as it does, that the Common School should be
nursed by all the people of our State. The sys-

Of harmony and concord so devoutly wished for
by majority of our citizens, than any other
medium we know of. And when neat and COM
Portable Schoolbpus adorn every hill side,

The capitalist and laborer are more widely sep.

and the sooner they are brought together, and
each feel that he is entirely dependent on the
