A PARTHIAN ARROW.

The Republican, in its issue of Sunday, uG
der the caption of tie Parish Convention,
insinuates that the acknowledged dissen
sons in the Convention, and in the
party in this city, have resulted from
the fact that Pinchback has used his po
sitlon on the State Committee to pack
the convention in his interest, alleging
that the harmony of the party requires
the withdrawal Of etLer the opposition to
Pinchback rPinchback's abandonment of his
Senatorial aspirations concluding by sug-
costing the latter as the better method OF
solving the difficulty.
AT the time this editorial appeared in the
| Republican no dissension had developed
itself in the Convention, and the organ
must have taken its inspiration from parties
/ things they alleged already to exist. Take
this fact in conjunction with the develop
mcnts of yesterday, from which it appears
that the Convention had really been packed
by the Organs partisans against Pinch
back. as was charged publicly by him OH
the floor Of the Convention, and the suggcs-
tons of the Republican that he Withdraw
from the Senatorial contest, stand revealed
in all their naked venom.
This Parthian arrow, discharged at the
cOlOrtd leader when his case had been sup
posed to be adversely determined at Wash
inston, when he was standing under The
shadow cast upon him by the senatorial
demagogne, Morton, was without official pat
ronage and poorly prepared to meet his foes,
reveals the habitual subtle purpose of the
imported white adventures, who have here
tofore successfully traded upon negro preju-
dices and negro votes, not only towards
Pinchback, but any colored leader who re-
fuses to be their tool.
Little as they think it, just such treatment
of representative negroes of the South, so
consonant as it is with both the selfish pur-
poses and ignoble uses of the carpet bag
politicians, is rapidly awakening the
thoughtful classes of our colored citizens to
the base ends and vile purposes to which
they have been subject by these trading,
worthless white men, and in this awakening
the initial a es of a better era will come
to the South in that the community of in
terests of all her people will be recognized.
and those interests by consent of all parties
thereto, committed to the keeping of honest
men.

liberties, or jealous of the honor of their

| liberties, or Jealous of the honor of theil
State.
The Atlanta Herald, in its issue of the 10TH
inst, after commenting upon the effect ii
Kellogg's Jail delivery, remarks as follows
/ And Just here we have the whole secret OF
! those mysterious associations of a few years
ago that were known as kuklux. Many and
fierce were the maledictions rained down
/ upon those unknown missionaries of ven
geance but. subjected to the honest test of
cause and effect, the dreaded and so-called
bood-thirsty organization may be reduced
to this solution: Government failed to pro-
tee. societ~, and-as it had perfect right
{ do-took protection and law into its
own hands. The writer of this, without
ever having seen or known knklux, com
pretended the situation, and has never yet
raised his voice or welded his pen against
them.
Terrible as they were. they We're a neces-
sary evil, the offspring of popular wrongs,
and the effective instruments for deliver
ance. They passed over the South as a
tornado in the night but, like the tornado.
they purified poisoned atmosphere ana
left sunshine, peace and quiet in their desc
lated path. Bad as they were, they We're
better than the evil that created them, and
of which, in the order of Providence, they
proved a cure. A dsarmed and oppressed
people, denied iastice and the protection of
law, have no other remedy.
And it were we'll that when ambitious
men grow de>potic and remorseicss, when
usurpers rnle, and run riot and rob, that
some swIfter retribution than the tardy
venegence of Heaven should overtake them.
These midnight minister, of justice came to
the relief of IA down-tr. dden people when
all other sources Of protection had failed.
They fought under the cover of darkness
and with the sword of Attlla. but their
motives were pure as the noon-'lay, and
their cause a. sacred as that Of Lee.
We never knew them to punish the lnno-
cent, or take summary vengeance Oh any
one who did not deserve to die. That the
existence of such associations should be
deprecated, we most freely grant, but they
are the necessary ontcropping OF dstenl-
pertd society, and, in view OF their objects.
far less to be condemned than the causes
that brought them into existence. They
sprung from necessity. when the people had
no other protection, and then disappeared
the very moment that protection was at
forded by those from whom it had always
been due.

The Relief Committee appointed by
Mayor Wilt have been increasingly al
work buying supplies and forwarding then
with all possible dispatch to various sec
fions of the overtlowed districts.
The committee were extremely DESTROYS
of sending the Onachita Belle off with full
load on Saturday evening last, but Captain
Blanks, while axious to hasten the forward
ing of supplies to the sufferers, was unavoid-
ably detained by other business until last
evening. The gentlemen who compose the
committee all have pressing personal bust
ness demanding their attention, and they
deserve great credit for the sclfsacrificing
spirit evnced in subordnatng their private
interest to the public good.
In this connection we may state that the
shipment of large quantity of supplies to
the Ouachita sufferers, which was inadvcr-
lively credited to Senator Brewster in our
Saturdays edition, was made by the Relief
Committee, of which d. f. Kcnner, Esq, is
chairman.

We hear from some OF our country friends
that the report having obtained circulation
in the OVERLOOKED parishes, that supplies
were about to be issued to the people of
those districts, large numbers of negroes, in
consequence of this announcement, have
abandoned their work in the high lands and
fled to the overlooked country in order to
participate in the distribution of provisions

ROYAL BLOOD RILED.
The First spat Between Queen Vic. and
the Little Tartar"

1t appears that the queen in going out
driving, the first time the duchess Of
Edinburgh accompanied her, placed, as
usual, the princess of Wales beside her
on the back seat, so that the duchess and
her spouse wee forced to sit opposite,
with their backs to the horses, which
was all very well for the duke, he being
ii mau aud in his mothers carriagc. but
the proud and petted daughter of the czar
Of all the Russias had no idea Of being
made to yield the first place to any one.
On her return from the drive, therefore,
she informed Queen Victoria that she
had never occupied the front seat in a
carriage before, and that she would not
submit to be placed there again The
queen reminded the irate duchess that
the princess Of Wales, as the wife of the
heir to the crown and the future queen
of England, was of course entitled to
take precedence over the wife of her Sec
ond son, and that, moreover, the Prime
ess Beatrice, as an unmarried English
princess, still under the immediate pro
lection of the queen, was also entitled to
lahe pTeceuence oNeI any VI Tue otHei ic-
male mcmbers of the royal family. Re
member that | am the daughter of the
greatest sovereign ON earth, of the czar
OF Russia" cried the indignant young
lady. To this the queen responded: II
acknowledge no earthly sovereign as my
superior. So there the matter rests,
and the duchess of Edinburgh was not
present at the queen last drawing room,
ostensibly on account of illness

WASHINGTON, July |

Representative Hale returned to Wash.
ington last night, and Immediately called
on President Grant to thank him for his
mark of confidence and friendship in
rendering him the appointment of post
master general, but at the same time to
respectfully withdraw his acceptance of
that office. The president expressed his
regret that Mr.. Hale had come to that
conclusion, as he had anticipated with
him pleasant official relations. Mr. Hale
has been in Altoona few days, ald
thought that he would be able TO enter
upon the duties of his position to, day, as
Creswcll made his arrangements to retire
yesterday. He had recovered in a slight
degree from the fatigue incident to long
session of congress, but the excessive
heat for the past few days has so weak
ened him as to compel him to decline the
honor. He will leave for his home in
Maine tomorrow to seek needed rest
The cabinet met at half past ten this
forenoon Creswel and Hale were pres
ent. All the members expressed regret
that personal considerations compelled
Mr.. Hale to decline the postmaster-gen
eralship.
