!Assassinatfpg Onr Commerce.


Several merchants Of Minden have for
warded to Governor Kellogg q statement
that ono of the engineers Of the levee board
is using State funds to close Mack's Bayou
and Flat river, in Bossier parish, against
which action they strongly protest, claim
ing that if these streams arc closed it will
put an end to the navigation of Lake Bisti-
mean, since these streams are tho principal
feeders of the lake. 1t il shown that
10000 to 10000 bales OF cotton are sent to
this city every year from the Bistineau
country, and corresponding amount of
merchandise shipped back. This has been .
travelled route Of water craft ever since the
country was settled, and . true policy
would dictsto that its navigation should be
improved rather than impeded. Should the
lake bs dried up-which would be the re-
suit, should tho small streams that feed
it be closed the greater portion of the trade
now coming to the city would be lost to US,
as the people would be forced to haul to and
from the railroad depot at Shreveport and
do their trading with St. Lonis.
The only excuse offered to justify the
action Of the State engineer is that few
hundred acres of bottom lands might be
redeemed if the streams were closed up;
but it is shown these lands have never been
worth anything, and no engineering known
in this State will ever make them available.
The Mlnden gentlemen certainly make a
very strong case, and they appeal to Gov
ernor Kellogg to prevent any further mis-
chief being done.

The CooOr0l Baptists.

The members OF the Baptist Church who
met in convention the last few days in this
city are no insignificant body of men, and
weld much power for good in the State
1t was harmonious meeting, and the re-
ports indicated that the Baptist Church is
in tlourishing condition. II one would
learn truly the progress which colored men
have made since released from slavery
through the instrumentality Of the Union
army and the martyred President who
died in the service of freedom, lot him
visit the colored churches. He will
find the most religious and devout congre-
cations in the land composed OF solored
men. Theirs is a simple faith, not disturbed
by abstract questions, pre-Adamite theories
and nice logical points, nor divided by
rtualistic controversy. The colored man
is naturally religious, his creed and faith is
founded on the Bible, and anchored to the
teachings Of Christ. Conversion to him is
an actual reality, because he feels what he
breaches. The church to a colored man,
who by enslavement has been deprived of
education, is his source of light. The preach
ers are the most intelligent men of their
race, knowing tho needs of the people
they address, and they generally advise
them according to their best interests. Ia
their weekly meetings it is not uncommon
to hear important questions Of the day dis
cussed, and extracts read from we'll cor
Quoted journals. Popular instruction
through the means Of the churches and
preachers 10 necessity to men not having
the privileges Of their white brethren and
does much good. In this spirit our Baptist
friends invited Governor Kellogg to address
them yesterday. He did 60 happily. and
something of what he said is reported in
another column. None better than the
congregation he addressed knew the truth
Of tho Governors words. The civil
and religious liberty of the col.
ored man, the privilege of being
a uan. and the opportunity Of educating his
children are things sacred to. him, they
came to him with his new found liberty, at
the cost Of millions of precious lives. and in
the face Of threatened disunion of States.
What has been gained by the sword, and by
the blood Of Republican patriots. muss be
maintained by the ballot and by the stead.

by emancipation. by snfranchisement, and
BY Che enactment of laws guaran teeing

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Inote in your issuc Of yesterday COM
munication oversthe signature Of John E..
Leet, wherein he makes assertions concern
ing myself which are without foundation
either in fact or probability. l quote the
paragraph to which take exception:
In tho vicinity of Bonfouca there is much
excitement among the c0lored people who
have taken up pine hill homesteads, on ac-
count of the appearance of Mr.. POitevent,
the soted mill owner Of Pesrlingt0n, Missis
sippi, With contract for sixteen thousand
piles for Eads' South Pass jetties This is
all right, but they cay that he bears in bis
hand permit ~ from the United States
lie land subject to homestead entry, but also
on the homesteads which the col0red people
have entered and are occupying. This
timber is very valuable to them, and they
are not allowed to cut it themselves until
they have occupied it five years, unless,
they say, they pay the governpent timber
agent, whose name is Scully, for the privi-
lege. These poor colored people don't un
derstand how such things can be with sll
the offices flied by their friends" Neither
do l. But can publish the facts.
JOHN E. LEFT.
As am the only person by the name Of
Po;sevsnt residing in Psarlington am nec-
esssrily compelled to believe that the para
graph above quoted alludes TO myself
alone. can NOT, therefore, in justice to
myself and my friends, permit tho asser
tions Of Mr.. Leet to pass unnoticed. lem
phatically pronounce the whole paragraph,
as far as relates to myself, base snd mali
cious fabrication from beginning TO end.
II is true that ! have q contract for fur
nishing piles for Esds' South Pass jetties,"
but the extent OF that contract is known to
the contracting parties only. As regards
my appearance in Bonfouca'' with q "per-
init from the United States government" I
will state for the benefit of your CORES
pondent that have not been in that place
within the last two years; neither have
purchased or obtained timber Of any de-
scription for my contract, within the bound
aries of the State of Louisiana. l, there
fore, reiterste my denial of the story in
question. and believe that the whole was
deliberately concoe!ed for the purpose of
aspersing my character, and impairing my
good standing in the business community.
ask, Mr.. Editor, that you, in that spirit Of
fairness which accords to every gentleman
the opportunity Of vindicsting his chsrac-
ter, give the above place in the columns
Of your journal, and Oblige
Yours, respectfully,

Starving q Verdict.

In the time of Elizabeth of England box
OF preserved barberries sugar candy and
liquorics being fonnd upon John Muckew,
one of the jurors, after he and the other
jurors were gone from the bar to consider
of their verdict, he wss committed to the
Fleet Prison until he paid fine. In another
case the jury being withdrawn after evi.
dence, and remaining long time without
concluding on their verdict, the officers who
were attending them, seeing their delay
searched them end found they had pippina,
which, being mentioned to the court, they
were examined ON oath. and two of them
confessed that they bad eaten figs before
they were agreed on their, verdict, and
three confessed that they had pippins, but
had not eaten any of them; and that this
was unknown to the parties. Those who
had eaten were fined f5, and those who had
the pippins forty shillings; yet the verdict,
upon great consideration and after confer
ence with the other Judges, was held to be
good. Even at the present time in England
neither food nor fire nor drink, except
water, is allowed to the jury. In recent
case during severe winteg. the court
allowed good supply of gas, but refused
fire. =

The Grand Regatta.

Yesterday morning the Charleston crows
pr ceeded to Denechaud's, at the .lake esd.
They tested during shs day, and in the
evening at half past six gave taste of
their quality. Mr.. Chevee, who rows in the
double scull shell race is an easy oarsman,
with three-quartes reach, quick stroke
and easy recover. He pulled easily through
out his long practice, though his frequent
breathing spells may have aided him some.

In his practice Mr.. Cheves pulled an

Tho course agreed upon is liable 20 some
objections. 1t is agains. the settine sun;
the eyes of the spectators are blinded. and
On the return the rovers have the sun in
in their faces. On the northern side. of the
breakwater the prevailing winds make the
water sough. 1t is true these disadvantages
would inure to all contestants, but spects-
tors would prefer it otherwise. The young
South, and the old regime for that matter,

pluck and mental attributes of the South
ern youth are undenlable, but it is desired
that their physique should be tested at its
best.
Now, one word for the prees. Reporters
ars the chronielers Of events as they occur.
The desire of these workers with the pencil
to obtain accurate and late information
sometines leads those in possession of data
to think they are masters of the situation.
So far the regatta committee has done every
thing yell; it is beyond question that they
will enable the prowess Of themselves and
their guests to be closely observed and cor.
rectly published.
Pools this evening will be sold .. seven
