YESTERDAYS NOON DISPATCHES

WASHINGTON, JAM 18.-The following is q
London Times editorial:
''In the gloom surrounding us, one thing
is perceptible, all men are arming; Germany
is arming en- masse and surrounding nations;
the best part Of the world cannot do other
. wise; the momentary dreams of peace have
fled away.
Germany recognizes the stern necessity.
What she won by arms she can only hold by
arms and while arms are in her hands, The
Times confesses that Germany cannot raise a
third army, her hopes are in her navy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The following
has been received here
New ORLEANS, Jan. 16, 1875.
TO Hon. W. W. Belknap, Secretary of War, WASH
A report has just been received from Major
| Merrill at Shreveport which is too long for
Geographic transmittal, but will be sent by
mail.
The following is an epitome almost in Mer-
rllIs own words: The threats made before
the election to drive from the community all
who voted the Radical ticket, are being car
| ried out.
| Combinations among the whites are form
| ing and recruiting by every form of pressure,
| by which all negroes who voted the Radical
| ticket are to be refused work or leases. All
| whites not forming this combination are to be
ostracized.
Already more than five hundred families,
including at least two thousand people of all
ages and sexes, wanderers, without means to
go elsewhere, powerless to find other homes
where they are and on the verge OF starvation
in midwinter.
Theft and other crimes may result, and it il
feared that the bitter feeling naturally result
ing from the sense of injustice received may
run into one of revenge.
These harmless people will gradually drift
together, and the white people are not slow,
as the past has shown, to set atioat intiamatory
rumors of intentions of organized violence on
the part OF the negro, and where the
revolver and mob law are the common
report in such cases, as they usually have
been here, disorders more or less extensive
are sure to result, if some preventative is not
found fer such state of things.
