AN UNWARRANTED PROCEEDING.
Arrest on Bare Suspicion.

About II o'clock yesterday Corporals
Hearsey and Ryan arrested a well-known cit
izen, named Bernard Turner, at his house on
Howard, near the corner Of St. Andrew street,
and locked him up in the First Precint Sta
ton, charged from information received with
having murdered a colored man named
Eugene Duclostenge, who fell and died sud-
denly while running away from the scene Of
action on Felicity Road, between Magnolia
and Clara streets, which is about a square
from the Keller School
This is evidently put up job by the ne
groes in that vicinity, aided by the police,
in taking gentleman away from his home
charged with the crime of murder. Although
Dr. G. P. Ames and Coroner Chastant were
unable to find any marks Of violence on his
person, MI. Turner was removed to the Sixth
Precinct where the affidavit was sworn out
against him.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Judiciary
Committee of the House of Representatives
has appointed subcommittee to draft new
Civil Rights bill, some Of the reports from
Washington insist that it is the intention OF
the Radical majority to pass such bill as
will produce conflicts between the whites and
blacks of the South, in the belief that the
Republican party Of the North will be there
by strengthened! Special Washington dis
patches say that the present calm in Con-
gress is only the precursor Of storm ; that
in less than week the Radical party will be
pushing bill intended to enforce social
equality in all matters affected by Summers
bill except public schools and cemeteries,
having ascertained that Gen. Grant will
sign the bill with these notifications ; and
that if the execution of the measure should
provoke a war Of races at the South, it will
be just what the Radical leaders desire.
Their idea is that this will save their party.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
More Trouble Apprehended.
The Lower Girls High School.
Six Additional COlOred Girls Elected
TherefrOm.

Yesterday again the Boys High Schoo
was early assembled before the Lower Girls
High School to eject six colored girls whom
they had overlooked yesterday, information
having been brought them that such was the
case.
! The crowd that surrounded the school
which is situated on Royal, corner Hospital
street, was simply immense, as the school
boys were reinforced by large number Of
outsiders, who took quite as much interest in
the vexed mixture question as did the boys
themselves. The crowd was very denonstra-
tive indeed SO much SO, that the principal
and teachers decided it as best to dismiss the
school this they did, it being then II o'clock
A. NJ. The ladies quietly marched out Of the
school without further moles.ation from the
crowd.
The Lower Girls High School has been dis
missed till Monday morning, at 8 o'clock, and
as the School Board will meet either to-day
or tomorrow, the vexed question will, no
doubt, be decided before then, either one way
or another.
A number Of white men and boys, among
whom were interspersed few negroes, assem-
bled in front Of the St. Philip School this
morning, and DANGEROUSLY demanded the ex-
pulsion of negro scholars. This school is
presided over by Mr.. G. Audrey, who in
formed our reporter that his school contained
about eighty or ninety colored pupils, most Of
whom, apprehending trouble yesterday, did
not assemble this morning.
But some of them either having more hardi-
hood than the others, or resting tranquil
under the belief that they would not be mo-
Tested, quietly took their accustomed places
as usual. But they did not stay there long.
Several outsiders were determined that they
should not keep their places, and therefore in
timated to them they had better 60 home
quietly, or else there would be trouble. The
boys acted on the hint, and Immediately Left
the school, and marched home without fur
ther comment from the crowd
The entire school was then dismissed as
the principal deemed this the wisest course to
pursue under the circumstances.
The boys Of the Bayou Bridge School yes
terday also caught the infection from the
action of the other schools, and quietly dis
missed from their midst about twelve colored
pupils Everything was done in an orderly

Of falling, has published the following card
'To the Public:
II frankly confess to the fearful sin OF

frenzy and passion, wrought my downfall In

Daniel Mossart, the well-known watch in
ventor, has Just been taken to the In sane
ASYLUM at kalamazoo, Michigan. He has
been for years at work at a watch which,
without being larger than usual, was to show
quarter seconds, minutes, hours, days of the
week, days of the month and months of the
year. and every fifth time it was opened was
to wind itself He had completed it, and had
received large offer from persons in this city
for the right to manufacture it. A short time
ago he took the model apart, and being unable
to put it together again, some part having
probably been lost the intense mental appli-
cation upon the difficulty has deranged his
mind.

1t is stated that the reports of the Northern
Pacific Railroad fail to account for ten mil
lions Of dollars of the money raised for its
construction. A special to the Cincinnati
Commercial says: "a very large portion of the
ten millions was used in bribing newspapers.
The religious press got large slice OF this
rancid fat. The editorial columns of the
newspapers and the money departments were
purchased, that they might be used in deceiv-
ing the people as to the value of the road.
There were many cases of this kind, the most
notorious and fragrant, perhaps, being the
New York Independent. 1t does not seem i'm
possible that few pious Congressman, as
well as able editors, may have been inter-
ested"
