DEATH OF ROBERT N. JoHNsoN.-A whole
souled man, one who made fast friends
wherever he went, and one who faithfully
attended to his duty, no matter what cir.
cunstances surrounded him, has left us.
He wac only thirty-seven years old, but had
seen much of life. During the war he was
with Colonel Holabird, in the qusrtermas-
ter.s department, after which he had charge
of our Workhouse. From that position he
went as clerk in the First District Record
er's Court. and when Mr.. Masicot was
elected sheriff, received the appointment of
captain of the Parish Prison. After this ne
filled a cerkship in the Third District Re
corder's Court, with Judge Long. He left
that position to accept an appointment as
minute clerk OF the Superior Criminal Court.
His failing health prevented him perform
ing mach service in the last named place,
but his friends did not suppose his physical
condition 50 low IS to. take him away from
US. The funeral will take place to-day,
from No. 50 South Rampant street, and will
be largely attended, for he had hosts Of
friends. -...

more. q colored woman, either fell or threw
herself out of window of the three story
brick house, No. l72ls Poydras street. The
unfortunate creature was discovered, lying
senstless on the pavement, about seven
O'Clock Sunday evening. She was at once
conveyed to the Charity Hospital, but death
soon relisved her of her sufferings. De-
ceased had lately been discharged from the
Insene Asylum, and the probability is, that
in tit of insanity she jumped out Of the
little girl her intention to kill herself.

POLITICAL LAwLEssNEss.-The Forster
Rangers. a Democratic club of the third
ward. paraded the streets last saturday
night. While up town they managed to
behave very well, but when on the way
down town, arrived at the corner Of Royal
and Barracks streets, they took possession OF
Victor Hawks coffeehouse. They made
things lively by smashing almost every
thing there was in the barroOm. In the
melee and during the general crash one of
the party raided on the cash drawer. The
proprietor discovered him, and seized HIM
with the intent to have him arrested. The
companions Of the thief, however, overpow-
cred the proprietor aud rescued the man.
The crowd then left, but did not RETURN the
money.
Subsequently one of the crowd, jeremiah
EuggaYi, was arrested and brought to the
rkird precinct station. While conveying
the prisoner tc the lookup, the crowd fol-
lowed, threatening the officers. and demand
ing the release of the prisoner. The police
were firm and res0lute, however, AID lock-
ed Duggan up, charging him with endeavor-
ing to incite riot. Not wishing to share
the fate Of their cOmrade, the crowd then
dispersed. The honest and respectable men
Of all parties tenounce this occurrence.
In order to guard against the possibility of
such a thing occurring during parade OF
Republican club, the Republican Parish
Committee has determined that no disorder
w demonstrations shall be permitted By
paradirg clubs, and the officers are to be
held accountable for any disturbance on the
part of the men. In the event ct the
slightesr deviation from the laws of order,
the club 80 offending will at once be dis
banded, and the individuals engaged in
any violence promptly brought to justice.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the Demo
cratic Parish Committee will follow the ex-
ample of the Republican committee, and
cooperate with that body in their efforts
to preserve peace and order. We are
pleased to see that the Bulletin has taken
the matter in hand and denounces the
Forster Rangers, and tells them plainly
that they must clear themselves Of this
matter, and if they do not it is intinated
that the party can dispense with such an
organization.
