Ole the people with an immense
claim of the Levee Company and
the Republican party with the shame of
their deed. The seven hundred and odd
dollars, if received, is the gain of cash of
these men. Their fraud may cost the Re-
publican party the control of the State.
As the friends of the colored voters, we
protest against such frauds as those i'm
puted to these legislators. The right of
suffrage was established to enable the col
ored people to protect themselves, but it
is to some extent experimental and it
should be remembered that the Democracy
have never acquiesced in the exercise of
this right Whatever, then, in the his
tory of the Republican party shall go to
defeat that party will deprive the colored
people oftheir only sincere friends. If the
Democracy secures the control of the
federal and State governments, they may
at once repeal or so restrain the right of
colored suffrage as that it will cease to
have protective influence. 1t is thus,
that to enable few men to live in luz
ury on the profits Of political fraud. the
innocent members Of the party may be
DISTINGUISHED.
We trust that all Republicans having
authority viii follow the example of the
President and the Southern Republican
Governors, and bring to justice5every Re-
publican Official who may have, like

Murder in Philadelphia.

FIGHTING OUT AN OLD FEUD-oNE FIREMAN FATAL
LY SHOOTS ANOTHER.
In Philadelphia, last evening, George Fletcher,
killed James Hanley a fireman, belonging to
truck d. on the pavement near the Jruck house,
on Queen street, below Second.
1t appears that there has been a feud existing
between the two men for a long time. Fletcher
having been arrested some years ago. charged
with having outrageously assaulted girl twelve
years of age. accused Hanley of having given
the information to tho police authorities, and
the i'll feeling existing between them grew out
OF this. There had been frequent quarrel5 be-
tween the men, aud the friends of each always
endeavored to keep them from meeting.
Last evening Fletcher came to the truck house
and asked for Hanley. One OF the members OF
the company said to him that there was no use
calling Hanley down to see hint would only
revive the old quarrel Fletcher said he had
met Hanley at Sixth and Chestnut during the
day, and that they had settled their differences,
and that he did not come to quarrel with him.
Hanley was then spoken to- and corroborated
fletcher's story about their meeting during the
day. He then went down and met Fletcher, and
the two went out upon the pavement in an ap-
parently friendly manner, each with one hand on
tho others shoulder. They walked down the
street for a few yards, when pistol shot was
heard, and IIanley walked back into the house,
saying, "hiy God, am shot, He was carried
up stairs, where he died in short time.
Fletcher ran away Immediately after the shoot
ing, turning several corners, and finally running
into the house OF Councilman Owen +. kaney,
and secfeting himself in Il closet. Mr.. kaney
discovered him, and induced him to give up his
pistol after which he gave information Of his
whereabouts to the police, who We're making
search for him. He was arrested.

Special Telegram to tie Neu York Times
WAsHINaToE, Nov g. THE President and Sec
retary Fish are in perfect accord on the Cuban
question, and there il no reason waraanting the
belief that any change has occurred either in
fact or intention in the relations that have here
tefore existed between the Governments of
Washington and Madrid. The purposes aud
policy or the American Government toward Gu
ba are plainly indicated in Minister Cushing q in
structons and have not been State secret for
over year. AS therein stated, the President
does not mediate or desire the annexation of
Cubs, but its elevation into an Independent re-
public, in harmony with ourselves and with tho
other republics of America Such were the
officially expressed vews of the President nearly
two years ago, and the probability that similar
views will be again expressed in Ills forth
coming Message to Congress shonld
occasion no general alarm now. AT all events,
it can be stated with confidence that there is no
cause for public apprehension regarding the
prospective action of the President toward Spain,
and that there is no warrant for the allegations
contained in the recent Washington dispatches
about Cuba and the reported movements of
American naval Vessels,
