Hahn's Wing Asserts its Dignity.

/
| Yesterdays Hahn's Wing made its first at.
tempt to assume dignity it has not, in the
expulsion of Bill Ward, the fanatic and ram
pant Ethiopian from Grant Parish, for his bel
ligerent proceedings on Wednesday.
This action Of the Wing it is to be hoped
will have the beneficial result of forcing the
retirement Of Ward to private life. It is to
be hoped that the ignorant men of his own
color who have SO long been his dupes will be
awakened to realization and true apprecia-
ton of his character, and will from this out
force him to take back seat.
To this negro, Ward, the Colfax difficulty,
which resulted in such loss of life, is entirely
due. 1t was his advice and his incendiary
speeches that led to the banding together Of
the negroes for war On the white citizens OF
the parish, and at his door may be laid the
results. Ward organized his dupes, and when
danger threatened he left them and came to
this city to get assistance, as he has stated.
Ward was locked up on Wednesday. He
was taken from the floor of 1.-The House" to Jail,
and incar cerlted On the charge of disturbing
the peace very mild charge, considering
the circumstances which led to his arrest, but
such as it is it should be thoroughly investi-
gated at as early day as possible, and Ward
should be given the full benefit Of the law
Pinch's Pinch.
The news that Pinchback had received a
knock down last night in the tabling Of the
resolution to seat him, was received here
with considerable evidence of qualification,
Radicals, that the blow was too severe for
him to recover from. The following is the
dispatch:
WAsHIHGroS, Feb. Is, $50 P. Mo Hon.
John McEnery AZ Canal street, New Or
leans-The resolution of Morton 10 seat
Pinchback was laid on the table this after
noon by six majority. He will try again next
week. f. G. ZACHARIE.
The Apr primtion Bill.
Kellogg and the members of his Crowd are
having very lively set-to over the new APP
preparation bill. After the bill passed Will
liam asked permission to take a look at it and
it was turned over to him, and at last accounts
yesterday he was still holding it.
He does not by any means like Persons
amendment, and he is va;nly endeavoring TO
convince his boys that they are doing very
wrong to treat poor Auditor Clinton SO.
He wants the members to again place them
selves under the control OF the Christian Au
ditor. He (Kellogg) thinks very justly that a
majority of them need the controlling influence
of some one, and besides he does not like the
Independent stand taken by the members
they do not that homage to him that he con-
siders he is entitled to, and-of course he
does not say so-if he can fix matters SO that
Clinton is made the man for the money, he
will awaken them to a sense of his Importance
all through Clinton.
Kellogg wants Antoine's Wing to amend
that bill by striking out Persons amendment;
and he threatens if they do not he will veto
it. The members are unconcerned; they do
not object they say, to his doing it; he can
veto it and be id; they will pass it any
how. They yielded to him once, but do not
intend to do it again.
There is no prediction what will be the
result, these fellows are so "unsartain;' and
there is no telling where they're at half an
hour at time.
