SPEECH BY GEN. GORDON. N.-General
Gordon, of Georgia, made a speech i'll
Alabama a few days since, in the course of
which, seeing many cclOred men present,
lie turned to them and asked !: ''Nho is
it that for the sake of retaining their hold
on power poison the minds of the colored
men against their former masters and
friends, and with false promises control
their votes and keep up contentious and
strife between the races? =? Who is it that
in the guise Of ku- kluX murder the cOlored
man in the darkness of midnight and
herald abroad the Infamous crime as the
deed of lawlcsS democrats and true South

auimosity, knowing their lease of Office de-

feelings between the sections {? The radi-

have robbed yuu Of none of your rights.
Here the interests Of the white man and the
colored man are identical good govern

the other the same sun shines above the
black man and the white man. and the genial
showers water alike the soil of the one and
the other the same God rules above them
both, and they could live together in peace
only for the radicals, who antagonize the
races. He called upon them to pause,
consider, and to be free men, and to suffer
themselves TO be no longer marched to the
polls as dumb driven cattle to the slaugh-

hold sway; but as certainly as that God
reigns and rules the earth truth will ulti-

to the injury of the colored man, but for
the common veal of all and here alone is
safety for the colored man. He said that

The State Democratic Executive
Committee under the efficient lead of

for the thorough organization of the
party throughout the State TO
which the Harrisburg Patriot adds this
timely suggestion: Effective steps
should now be taken in every county
to aid the executive committee in the
work of preparation. During the
present month the assessors lists
should be thoroughly overhauled and
the name of every Democratic voter in
the State registered. While we have
the most confident anticipations of a
successful issue in November wedo not
expect to get it without deserving it

distinguished political opponent, Aaron

CITY HALL ITEMS.

The City Hall was not lively yesterday
1t is questionable whether it will ever be lively
again, but there was some business transact
ed outside of the usual routine.
The Sixth District canal was located 70,
good. After receiving and considering all
the protests against cutting the canal through
every street that it was proposed to dig up, the
Council have at last come to the conclusion to
cut it in Nashville Avenue, but with due
regard for the citizens of that portion of
Nashville Avenue that lies on the river side.
they have concluded to dig the canal only to
st. Charles Avenue and connect it with the
cutters of the district to be drained.
THE LAKE SHORE PROTECTION LEvEE
has been extended to the track of the N. O..
NJ. and I. r. r. at a point near GENTLY Sta
ton. A road bed half mile in length has
been made, running to the canal. short dis
lance from where the present track is laid,
and now the city asks the privilege of LAYING
another track on this road-bed and of putting
up an iron bridge across the canal for the
trains OF the N. O., M. and T. r. r. to run
On while the dredge-boats of the city are con-
,lnuing their work. As will be seen by the
report in our court column, proceedings have
been taken to compel the railroad to acoui.

A LIQUID SAHARA.

1t has been proposed recently by certain
scientists in Europe to convert the great
Sahara Desert into an inland sea again By
turning in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean
upon it through q canal of no very great
magnitude. Just as the matter was being
somewhat seriously discussed somebody
started the appalling theory that the creation
of this vast sea would have the disastrous
result of converting all Europe into region
of perpetual snow and ice. 1t is stated, and
we are not prepared to contradict the state
ment, that before the desert was dried up-it
was once vast sea-Europe was another
Greenland, but that the drying up was fol-
lowed by the hot winds which now prevail on
the desert, and in time the Ice King was
driven farther north and to the top of the
highest mountains, rendering the plains and
valleys habitable.
In view of this stupendous obstacle we may
hardly expect to visit the interior of Africa
soon on steamship 1t strikes us, however,
that with the Atlantic on one side, the Med
iterranean on another, and the North Sea and
the Baltic on another, to say nothing of minor
sheets of water scattered about promis-
cuously, that Europe is about as cold as water
IS likely to make it, and as it won't cost us
we are in favor oftrying the expert
nent of submerging the Sahara Push for
yard your canal, gentlemen scientists the |

HIGH ASSESSMENT rs.
THEY PREVAIL IN THE TOWN AND COUNT

THEY PREVAIL IN THE TOWN AND COUNTRY.
The complaints about over assessments are
becoming very general throughout the State,
and would really seem to indicate it to be the
settled policy of the Radical party to make
the white people of the State pay the expense
OF the coming campaign. In this city there
are very great complaints about assessments in
the Fourth District Complaints which in some
instances. may be unfair, but which we sus-
pect must have some foundation. It is but
just, however, to Mr.. Urban, the assessor of
the Fourth District, to state that he has de-
clared to us his desire to correct any error
that may have been made, and especially his
desire to do this upon the application of the
proprietors themselves, rather than at the re-.
quest Of brokers.
MI. Urban states there are so great a number
OF applications that it necessarily takes some
time to consider them, but hat he proposes
to do exact justice in each case, willing that
his acts shall be criticised and pronounced
upon by competent judges of the value of
real estate These professions are fair, at least
and we advise the property holders in the
Fourth to take Mr. Urban at his word, |
give him a chance, and then if he fails in
his plain duty, to report the same to US. when |
we promise to call him to account for the |
dereliction. There is one thing to be borne in
mind alwaysin regard to the Fourth District
which is, that Urban's predecessor was a
rogue, who made reductions for those who
paid him, and who raised upon those who did
not. The following letter from Plaquemine
shows that the people in that locality are suf-
fering from over assessment also:
PLAoUEM1NE, Aug. 20, 1875.
Mr.. Editor-We of the country, otherwise
called yokels, are in deplorable condi-
lon We are billing over with the led on" s.,

done all over the State by general orders.

PuzzIE.-A coo kney bought few eggs,
took them to his lodgings, boiled them hard,
ate them and went to bed. Not falling
asleep, he began to reflect, talking to himself
thus: "'Ow many heggs 'aveI het 'ad a
shilling's worth and l hasked the price by the
dozen, which the 'uckster q told me and which
caunt remember. If it 'sd been just one
penny less per dozen I might ave 'ad two
heggs more for my shilling. That ought to
tell the price some'ow. Let me see ~ He
meditated, added, puzzled, multiplied, d.
vided and subtracted for some hours, but at
last exclaimed: "This is too ard for me- l
will count the shells in the morning" and so
fell asleep
