Captain David Ritchie, we'll known of.
ticer Of the United States revenue marine,
died recently, at his residence, on Long
Island. He was born in England. and
adopted the sea as his profession at an
early age. AT the commencement of the
war he was employed on the revenue cutter
Louis Mclean at New Orleans, which was
commanded by Captain Brushwood, who
delivered the vessel over to the rebels.
Ritchie was employed as quartermaster,
and when he saw that the vessel was likely
to be surrendered he swan ashore with the
colOrs of the vessel wrapped round his
body, and made his way to Washington,
where he delivered them Overto the proper
authorities. AS reward for his patriotism
he was appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury lieutenant IN the revenue marine.
During the course of the war he was on
board the cutters Mahoning and Miami, en-
gagged in the carrying of dispatches and
making trips to Fortress Monroe, Savannah,
Key West and other places. He was on the
yacht Mahoning, which was formerly the
property of Lord Palmerston, when she
was sunk by Ice in the Delaware. Subse-
quently he was transferred to Boston,
where he did good work, and later to the
MOcassin, which was stationed at Newport.
1t is said by those who were acquainted
with Captain Richie that while ne COM
manded this vessel he always was where
his services were required, and if any YES

Our colored citizens are very iubiiant

4 Chicago Clergyman Equal to the Emer.
Gency.

For some time past there have been ser
ious differences between Rev. Florence
Mccarthy, pastor OF the UnIon Park Bap.
tist Church and a part Of his congregation,
including the deacons and other church
officers, which finally eliminated in the
latter closing the church to the pastor, and
refusing to allow him 20 preach there. Mr.
Mccarthy, finding himself locked out last
Sunday, obtained permission Of a friend
member of his congregation, who lives in
the immediate vicinity of the church. 20
preach from the steps of tho .esiden ce.
which he proceeded to do 10 an audience
which numbered At least 1900 people. In
the evening the reverend gentleman &C.
cepted tho invitation Of one Of the proprie-
tors of large billiard hall ON West Madi-
son street, to hold services there, and
preached to a congregation which filed the
hall in every part. Most Of his hearers
we're of the class who presumably rarely
attend church, and the preacher made a
powerful appeal 20 them to forsake the
error of their ways. He was listened to
with respectful attention, and one woman,
of perhaps forty or fifty. who was in the
hall. signified desire tor prayers.

4 Sensation Overlooked.

There is one sensation overlooked by our
neighbor in making up its argument for a
new election. We have trembled lest it
should have been seen, at period when there
might have been some danger from its use
It is proof OF our entire confidence in the
defeat of the bill! framed by the skillful
Carpenter that we expose it. Suppose we
present this argument in . manner that
even the most sensational reporter must
envy. It will then explain itself:

lished in Louisiana-"Kingo OF Thousand

We have suspected for come time that q
design was being cOncocted to overthrow
the government of Louisiana and to estab-

This suspicion found material of contirma-
ton on various occasions, while our special.

put US on our guard. Within a few days
past the cOnspirators have thrown off all

and commands righ: and left. Under these
| orders hotels have been occupied, streets
have been designated for royal progress,
Americans have put on royal airs, the
steamer Great Republic has been seized as
the flagship of the royal navy, and the regal
invaders have boldly stretched across the
streets large ensigns bearing, in diagonal
stripes of various cOlOrs, the royal crown,
and no doubt displaying other regalia, We

stitutiOn, have offered no opposition to this

duty to avow that the population seems

Of government, as q relief from the Oppres-
sive administration which actually refuses
them permission to pay into the treasury
the full amount of taxes which they have
hitherto paid with such alacrity. Without

the federal government to remember the
obligations to guarantee to each State 2
government republican in form. We have
repeatedly given warning that this occasion
had arisen.
Any federal minion can now see for him
self and hear for himself. A government
monarchical in form has been set up in
louisiana. The occasion has arrived for
federal interference. A new election, as we
nave all along contended for, is inevitable.
This moparchical movement must be sup
pressed. In the inter regnuns the State
government should be intrusted to the
Committee OF Two Hundred, and the public
printing should only be intrusted to press

The House finally agreed 70 adopt the
amendment and afterward passed the bill
The bill pending for che funding of parish
Indebtedness came up.
Mr.. Davidson, Of Livingston, supported
the bill. II was one Of the most important
! measures before the House. 1t provided
that the parishes might fund their debt and
| make the bonds payable at twenty years
from date. 1t would relieve the people. 1t

.ully considered.
Mr.. Gair. of East Feiiciana, suggested
that the limit Of twenty years was not
needed. His parish did not require tha:
time to pay its debt. Five years would be
| enough. but other parishes might desire
more. He thought that each parish might
| fix the time.
Mr.. Kern. Of Jefferson, moved to amend
the bill by excepting his parish from its
operation. No time was wanted. for the
parish could pay its debts.
MIR. Davidson accepted the amendment,
saying that the bill was not compulsory
and any parish might be exempted.
The consideration of the bill was finally
postponed to Saturday.
Mr.. Benham's bill prohibiting the Auditor
from issuing certificates until delinquents
paid their dues to the State, came up.
Mr. Beuham made a short but fOrcible
speech in favor Of the bill. saying it was a

Mr.. Hahn offered an amendment, provid
ing that the Auditor should receive no fees
for recording deeds of redemption.
Mr.. Benham opposed the amendment, but
the House adopted it. the bill being after
ward postponed for further action.
