Cushing q Check.

On Monday an old gentleman from Wash
ington county came to this city for the pur-
pose of collecting the interest on two bonds
of the Washington Branch railroad. He
went TO the chief clerk at Camden station,
and the clerk filled up q check for So, the
amount OF the interest due on the bonds for
six months The check was given to the
gentleman from Washington county, who
carried it to the treasurer of the company
for the purpose of having it signed. IL hap
pened that when the check was presented
for signature the treasurer was busily en-
gagged IN signing a number Of others. He
took the So check and laid it upon his desk.
but before signing it he crossed the room to
get a drink of water. He then returned to
his desk, and, signing check, handed it to
the old gentleman, who took the check
without looking at it, and went down stairs
and handed it to Mr.. Cornell, the ticket,
asking him to cash it, Mr.. Cornell took the
check, examined it and smilinglv asked the
old gentleman when he supposed there
would be money enough in the ticket office
to cash check like that. The old gentle
man, supposing from Mr.. CorneIls manner
that he was making sport of him, snatched
up the check in rage and left the depot
An hour or SO later, several clerks might
have been seen flying around, hunting an
old man from Washington county who
had received a check signed in the railroad
office. The old gentleman, however, was
not found until yesterday morning, when
he visited Camden station for the purpose
of going home. As he was going through
the depot, be was stopped by an excited
railroad official, who inquired if he had
check on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
The old gentleman said he had, and, on
opening his pocket-book, was astonished to
find. that the check that he supposed was
for Sc was really one for $4,000. Explana-
tons followed, and it appears that the
treasurer had signed and given him the
wrong check. The old gentleman then
visited Mr.. Cornell and apologized for his
rudeness on the previous day.-Baltimore

White League Presumption.

A White League organ in Louisiana,
while undertaking to prove that the white
people alone have any rights in that State,
says: eve own this soil of Louisiana, by
virtue OF our endeavor, as a heritage from
our ancestors, and it lis ours and ours alone"
Louisiana was purchased from France by
the United States in 1903 for the sum of
$4,000, 900; and as that money was taken
out of the pOcRets of the whole people,
every American citizen has an equal right
to live On the soil. and to enjoy the
privileges mat are accorded to other cit
liens. The journal in question, however,
goes farther than this, and insists that
science, literature, history, art, civiliza-
ton, and law belong alene to us, and not to
the negroes" This is doing tolerably
we'll in the way of making a claim to excll.
sive privileges. After a while We shall
have an effort to prove that sunshine, and
air and water belong to the white man
alone. There is no depth Of asininity to
which such writer can not descend.

Personal.

Mr. Samuel Mullen, the secretary of the
New Orleans Merchants Exchange, vas on
Change yesterday and left for home last
night. Mr.. Mullen states that at length
the commission merchants of the CRESCENT
City have awakened to the Importance of
establishing and maintaining an efficient
merchants, exchange, such as in operative in
all other live and progressive American
cities with any pretensions to commerce.
Though this experiment has been tried
several times in the past, with no perma-
nent success, it is now the belief that all
who are engaged in the matter are in dead
earnest and will be constant in their sup
port OF the enterprise. We rejoice that
New Orleans begins to see DAYLIGHT on this
important subject and hope that Mr.. Null
lens expectations may be more than real

position. Full of years and honors, occu-
plying the highest place his ambition has
coveted, using his power to satisfy his con-
science only, and thereby gaining plaudits
even from his enemies, in his moments of
rest our Attorney General has thus calmly
and truthfully stated the question:
l must certainly say that our State is
just now in q very unfortunate condition,
especially as to financial affairs. We have
been eaddled with an immense debt by the
misrule OF former governments, especially
that of the WarmOth party; but l think we
are now coming to see little light through
our troubles in this respect. We have
ture some Sc 100000 Of fraudulent claims,
and we are cOntesting others amounting to
over that sum. The funding system, which
has been authorized, is now being carried
out also, and, think, after short while
we shall be in a position to say that our
debts are not larger than the State is Ca
pable of paying. Of course all the trouble
thus put on our shoulders by former State
administrations has had the effect of pre-
venting capital coming into the State,
and has in a great measure retarded our
progress. 1t is, however, gratifying to us to
Know that the crops are at least a quarter |
more this year than last, and with greater |
security and under a just government, |
such as the present, we may expect to at
tam increased prosperity. do not see any |
reason to look forward to war of races, as |
these little conflicts that we hear of merely |
arise from local jealousies and faction quar-
rels among the leaders. No doubt some of |
these leaders seek to get up these fights for
the purpose OF serving their own selfish /
ends; but they possess no significance what
ever as far as giving any indication of a
genera! rising on the part of the blacks to |
effect the driving out Of the whites. Such
a thing is not likely to occur for many rea-
sons, the first and allirnportant one being
the natural instinct and feeling on the part
of the negroes. who are fully aware that it |
is to the capital invested by the whites |
