CIVIL RIGHTS.
RampageOus Negroes Seek Revenge.

Between and 3 o'clock Sunday negro
entered the coffee-house of Mr.. Michael Lar
kin, corner Robin and Peters streets, and de-
manded a drink. In the bar-room there is a
space partitioned If for the use Of negroes,
and the bar-keeper requested him to apply at
| the bar there, and lie would be served. The
man refused to do it and went off, but in a
short time returned accompanied BY two other
negroes, and the three demanded drinks.
Mr.. Larkin, who was behind the bar, refused
to give it to them unless they called for it in
the space set apart for men Of their color.
They became boisterous Immediately and
used very abusive language They finally
retired yowing vengeance, one of them de-
claring: eve will have satisfaction; we will
burn the shanty OF the 60 b down before
morning"
Little attention was paid to their remarks,
but subsequent events indic ate that the threats
We're not lightly made.
The barro was closed at the usual time,
and Mr.. Larkin retired About three o'clock
this morning he was awakened by the cries of
fire from his cook :. negro man.
lie hastily arose and found the house full
of smoke, and he supposed the whole lower
portion OF the building was on fire.
He got out OF window into a shed and |
slid down one of the posts, followed by his
cook, who, however, Jumped from the SHED
into the street.
The cries Of Mr.. Larkin and his cook had
aroused the neighborhood, and an alarm had
been turned in bringing the fire department TO
the spot. Ia few moments the fire was ex-
lnguished, before it had caused any great
damage.
The ire originated in the negro bar-room
md from the condition ofthe ROOM the situa-
ion OF the fire and other circumstances
here is no doubt that it was the work of an
ncendiary
Mr. Larkin knows the negro who made the
irst demand for drink, and will have him
rrebted.

The Village of Smithland Totally
Destroyed.
Houses and Animals Carried Off
by the Wind.
Several Persons Known to have
been Killed.
Dense Forests Entirely Cleared
Great Damage to Plantations.

We are indebted to Capt +. B. Trinidad
OF the steamer Willie, for the following in
| formation:
Between and ) O'Clock last Friday even
ing, the country around Smithland, on the
west, and Rays Point, on the east Of Ouachita
River, was visited by fearful tornado. Men,
women and even the cattle were thrown into
a fearful state Of excitement by the lowering
aspects of the sky and the fierce bowling of
the wind
The village of Smithland was leveled, and
at Rays Point, plantation houses, fences and
animals were literally taken up and carried
off by the wind.
Several persons are known to have been
killed, amongst them, Mrs. James Adair.
One white and one colored girl, both about
seven years of age, We're killed, the names of
whom are unknown.
The dense forest in the rear of Rays Point
was cleared for width of three hundred
yards.
The tornado recrossed the river fifteen
miles below Smithland to the west side of the
river and spent itself in the impenetrable
swamps which cover that section OF the coun-
try.
No estimate can at present be made Of the
damage caused by this, one Of the most terrible
tornadoes that ever visited our State.
The large and valuable plantation Of Messrs.
Blanks, Bridges and others were visited by it
and have sustained more or less damage

GEN. HANCOCK.

The attempt of the Republican TO represent
us as Directing to this gallant soldier and
accomplished gentleman as a candidate, or
the ground that he was a q Union soldier" is
another illustration of the contempt its con-
ductors entertain for the intelligence of then
readers. Commenting upon the rumor that
the Democracy of Pennsylvania intended
to place Gen. Hancock prominently
before the people as the successor Of Grant,
we said that ''should the Democratic National
Convention want a soldier for their candidate,
there is no man living who would be more
acceptable to us down here; but we have
very serious objections to the proprety Of
electing military man to the Presidency.
Eight years of Grantism is a dose which ought
to suffice for at least century to come, and
craftsmanship, not strategy, is what the
American people require from their Chief
Magistrate"
1t will require something more than the
ingenious sophistry of the tax-gatherels ad-
vertising organ to torture the above express
sions into an opposition to Gen. Hancock as
Union soldier We are well aware that
most of the readers of the Republican do not
understand the American" language, but its
editors certainly do and the peculiar kind of
''smartness" required for msquoting an op-
ponent and then lighting him on that line "
is not generally looked upon as creditable or
becoming, except among 'shyster' lawyers
and treasury pap journalists.

THE PLANrER MOVING FOR SELF
PROTECTION.

From the following article, which we clil
from the Baton Rouge Weekly Adcocate Of tn
10th inst, it will be seen that the planters 0
Crosse Tete and Maringouin, hopeless Of ale
from the State, from the Leyee Company anC
from the Genera. Government are moving IL
the matter of levee building themselves, and
have already taken steps that will effectually
protect some fourteen thousand acres of cult
waited land from inundation.
1t is exasperatng to reflect that had the
tax which has been rigidly collected for levee
purposes by the State, been fairly and hon
esly devoted to levee building, there would
be no fear now Of inundation, no alarm among
the planters and no necessity for those who
who have paid their levee tax to 90 to addi
honal expense and build their own levees.
We do not know whether it was from
the levee fund that Clinton grabbed the
funds and gave them to Kellogg
for the suppression of "rebel skunks or
not, but we do know that this fund was mis-
appropriated and the Leyee Company thereby
prevented from doing work that they might
otherwise have done. Kellogg and Clinton
are largely responsible for the damage which
has already been done by high water, and those
planters who may look out soon upon their
broad acres overtlowed, may thank these two
men who deliberately, in order to achieve their
savage and deadly purposes, did not hesitate
to misappropriate public moneys. Had the
large sums which have been wrung from the
people for levee purposes been regularly and
properly turned over to the Leyee Company,
then the people could at least have held that
favored corporation to a strict accountability |
for the proper use Of the funds paid to them
meeting Of the planters OF Crosse Tete
and Maringouin was held at MussOn, Thurs |
day, March 18TH, to take steps to complete the
deienses already erected to protect that por-
ton Of the country from the waters flowing
through Grand Levee crevasse.
II. II. Slack presided and McCarde was
appointed Secretary. 1t was stated that works
equivalent to a three feet levee, fifteen miles
long. had been erected by planters on the
bayous, with no aid from State, Parish or
Levee Company, and that these levces pro
tected fourteen thousand acres Of cultivated
lands from the dangers OF inundation from
Grand Levee which has been left open by the
Levee Company.
The work Of leveeing was nearly completed.
yet the means OF the people were insufficient
To meet the expense Of strengthening and de-
Tending the dykes which were the keys Of the
Notifications against the water.
Mules carts, lumber, provisions, labor and
some money were subscribed, and the COM
mittee will recommence work on the levees
Monday next. \ committee was appointed
TO confer with the Levee Company, and pro-
cure aid if possible.

PREPARE TO FUCKER.

Editor of the Bulletin:
! see that the Bee Of yesterday expresses
doubts of that improvement in business of
which the PicaWo}e boasts as the result of
the adjustment which has so happily settled
the difficulties Of our political condition by
the frank recognition of tuctS and the com
plete abandonment of theories about constitu-
tional rights, which no longer have any prac-
teal existence. In support Of the Pica-
ylaes position, l desire to state fact
which has come to my knowledge. \ GEN
tieman stated to a friend of mine about
two weeks ago. as conclusive evidence
of the advantages of compromise, that
real estate broker told him that a
man had actually called within q few
days and looked at his list of property. This
may be relied upon as fact, and it certainly
presents very cheering prospect, of which
we hope no carping grHmbler will be dis
posed to underrate the importance. If we
desire to induce immigration and check the
reverse tide, we should dwell upon such facts
as this rather than upon the evils OF a govern
ment controlled by irresponsible, corrupt and
officials. At any rate there is moth
ing like whistling to keep the courage up
