THINGS IN GEN .:RAL.
INTIMIDATION.

negro man, named DOS. MllabrOn, ana
colored amazon whose cognomen is Mary
Johnson, were yesterday tried before q. S.
Commissioner Craig on charge based on the
clause in the election law relating to intimi-
dation.
The facts as elected were that on the day
nreceedng the election the two entered the
c,ub room of the Colored Democratic Club Of
the Third Ward, and made things lively By
breaking the furniture, demolishing the lamps,
and threatening to annihilate and cut short il
his earthly career a timid voter who mildly ex-
postulated against such proceedings, and at the
same time giving utterance to assertions as to
what would be the fate Of every member of the
club.
The festive pair were sent down before the
u. S. Court to answer, and in default OF bonds
were remanded to the Parish Prison.
''THosE NEGROES"
Those negroes who voted the Democratic
ticket on Monday from principle have good
claim upon that party for future favors.-N.
o. Republican.
The Republican styles the honest colored
men who voted the Democratic ticket as
"negroes," those in the Republican ranks
"colored men" The Republican, before ad.
yocating the claims of Democratic " negroes, >
had better see that its '"colored" voters get
the .forty acres and a mule" promised so
long ago.
CARRYING OUT THE PROGRAMME.
The colored faithful have already COM
menced to put into execution the threats
made on election day against their Democratic
brethren.
Yesterday a crowd of them set upon and
feariully beat, at the corner of Customhouse
and Franklin streets, negro man, for the sole
reason that on election day he voted accord
ing TO his conviction without regard to party
rule
Officer Houser and others of the metropoli-
tan police force, witnessed the brutal assault,
but refused to render any assistance, and in
fact abetted it and cursed the victim for
I'D Democrat that ought to be killed"
Keep on, do all the beating possible within
the short time remaining in which it can be
done with impunity, for there will be change
before long in .he state of affairs in this city,
when the laws will be executed without re-
gard to the political sentiments or political
influence Of the offenders against it.
COLE FEEL"
That the way of the transgressor is hard is
demonstrated in the case of sole Feel. +"
After all his services to the party he is now ac-
cused Of being the cause Of its defeat, and on
his devoted head falls the epithets and crimi-
nations of all the defeated candidates and the
disappointed leaders Of the faithful
1t is considered that the Second District
Court dodge tended greatly to bring about
the result, and he is cursed for not having
sufficient foresight to see the effect, and sui
fcent courage TO refuse to take the course
into which he was kicked. That the old
sinner feels the ingratitude of his once adj
miring friends is evident from his downcast
looks and detected air He has, at times,
taken copious doses of the same kind of warm
tea to which Kellogg is addicted, and the
effect has been very demoralizing.
KICK THEM OUT.
Quite number of the white men on the
police force on election day voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, and did it openly, and now there
is talk of compelling them to put off their
uniform, and seek other employment.
Their names have been entered on the
black list, and if circumstances will permit
their heads will come of. The news from the
outside country may have the effect of
changing the programme.
THE DEMOCRATIC COCK.
The BULLETIN got on the river early yester-
day morning and into the hands of that jolly
customer, Capt VIM. Kelly, owner OF the
ship Rynard and bark Wild Hunter. He
opened the paper, saw the Democratic cock,
and without waiting tosread he shouted, 1T
is all right, boys the BULLETIN has tho rooster,
run up the flags" and ia about two minutes
every bit OF bunting on board OF either YES
sells WIS flying from the mast
The example thus set was generally followed,
and the shipping showed flag wherever there
was space for one.
