A Lady Knocked Down by a
Negro.

Yesterday, about 1890 P. NJ, as lady
was returning from the Cadiz street Meth
edist Church, she heard approaching steps
behind her when she reached the corner OF
Upper Line and st. Charles streets. Fear
ng some bodily harm, she stepped out near
the gutter, to give the man who was evil
IDENTIFY following her chance to go by.
just as she turned to watch the mans
movements, he wheeled and dealt her a
powerful blow between the eyes, knocking
her down and almost stunning her. She had,
however, the presence Of mind to scream,
and some gentlemen living In the neighbor-
hood rushed to her aid. When they ar
rived they found the lady very much OK
cited, the blood flowing profusely from her
nose, which was broken by the niiscreants
blow.
The man, whom she describes as tall and
powerful Immediately ran off, the gentle
men trying until late hour to capture him,
but without avail. ....
No police were to be found, although
search was made for them.

Detectives After an Escaped
Convict.
A Lively Chase.
Ten Shots Fired.

Thursday evening Detectives Deveraux
and Smith laid their plans to capture no
torious thief named Muncy Alexander, who,
it was thought, had escaped from the Peni-
Tertiary before he had finished his term.
About 1880 o'clock in the evening the detec-
tives cautiously approached the house stu
ated Oh Seventh street, between Carondelet
and St. Charles streets, and which is oecu-
pied by some colored girls, and, after keep
ing an eye out for the surroundings, they
entered.
The ran they were after, however, was as
quick as they were, and he once beat re-
treat over the back fence. The officers
commenced firing at the fleeing convict, but
SO far as is known, without any serious eff
feet, for he managed to completely eluded
those in chase. Search was then made of
the premises and suspicious individual
found who was Immediately taken to the
Central Station. Quite an excitement was
produced in the neighborhood by the firing
and it was some time before everything set
tied down to its wonted quietude. Muncy
Alexander is pal Of the notorious burglar
Wilson, who is supposed to have been killed
lately, whilst entering house.

The License Question.

We have received quite a lengthy commu-
nication from an old store keeper relative to
our present license system. He justly argues
that we drive from our city many who per
haps have not large capital, yet have suf-
ficient to increase our trade. Nowhere per-
haps, more than in New Orleans are their
greater burdens imposed on the poorer
class of merchants. We require the same
amount from those doing comparatively a
small business and those engaged in large
and profitable trade.
All this should be changed and every in
ducement possible should be held out to
enterprising dealers to visit our city. The
BULLETIN will ever be the exponent Of the
oppressed, and our columns are open to
every one who has any cause of grievance.

From many prominent citizens Growler
has received letters asking about the pro-
posed paving Of Baronne street, between
Canal and Common streets. Section Is Of
the city charter requires that when the
owners of property on both sides Of the
street ask for the paving, it is the duty Of
the city to cause the same to Se done, the
lowest bidder getting the job. 1t seems
that every owner. excepting one or two,
have petitioned for the SQUARE block paving
of Baronnc street, and yet it is not done.

Many anxious inquirers want to know the
names of those butchers who participated in
that Kellogg meeting last Thursday night.
This is as it should be. We ought not to
patronize men who are opposed to our
people, and we think it is time we looked
into the matter. If our money is used to
perpetuate the usurpation we should deal
only with those WHO are true to the State.

The Growers Column.
The Issue at Hand.

We have received several letters inquir-
ing how to go about to effect an organiza-
ton and what should be the platform OF
such after it has been formed. We think it
would be better and far more likely to
reach success if the officers of each ward and
independent club Of the last campaign were
to consult and call their respective organi-
cations together. There would then be a
feeling of confidence in the officers, which
would take time to effect if new men were
put in the lead.
Let every man who has at heart the true
interests of the State give his pc; sonal at
tention to this matter, for already we can
see that the spectators IN power are
urging on their party to bring the issue
directly between the whites and blacks.
This is not season for folding of hands and
Quaker-like apathy. Too long we have been
listening to those strains, pleasing, perhaps
to the ear, that we would have an early
solution of our difficulties. No Presidential
campaign should excite greater enthusiasm
than this, our struggle for our States saliva
ton, and we trust our people thoroughly
appreciate the fact

Too Wild.

Mr.. GroWlsr-That men exercise the right
of selecting their own associates, whether
social or political, to suit themselves, is not
matter at which others should growl, for
you know, it is nothing more than natural
that birds of feather should consort to-
gether. But the case is very different when
men attempt to practice the 'run-with-
the-hare and hold-with- the-hOunds-p policy"
There are strong grounds for the suspicion
that those who do this are traitors to one
party or the other, for 20 man can
faithfully and honestly serve two mas
tiers. Now, as there are some at
tempting this Janues-faced policy, who
occupy positions which may enable them
to Detray the interests of the party they
openly profess to espouse, it may become a
matter of duty, as we'll as a question of in
terest, to make an expose of their antece-
dents. In that event, they will be placed
in such an unenviable light, as to deprive
them Of the power, notwithstanding their
unblushing impudence, to worm themselves
into the confidence of high-minded, honora-
bic men. They will then be forced to seek
an alliance with party in which crime
appears to be guarantee of political pre-
torment. A word of warning is deemed
sufficient for those whom it may concern
HONESTY.

Justicia complains that it is from the
money earned by negroes in employ Of
Democrats that many of their larty Or
CARNATIONS are kept up. He says many
white laborers have told him that seeing no
disposition on the part of our merchants to
employ white men who are far more capable,
they have been compelled to join the
Radical party for subsistence.
What Radical is there who would give
employment to Democrat without first re-
quiring him to become Judas to his party9
They manage these things better than we
do, and it is owing not little to tkis that
they have been able to hold up, even with
