the actual political cast Of the body

of 1872, while perhaps, at best, but
vaguely understood, are readily de-

recurring one :: What constitutes the

have given the figures as at least un-
leniable in themselves in an equitable
/ showing Of the whole. AS there is
DO claim Of any division Of the eicol-
ored element ut the time, there would
Seem little chance Of evading the is
sues of an election OF "the people !"
'on such basis. Mr.. Kellogg, as the
Republican nom;ne, represented 1.-THE

point. Mr.. McEnery, on the other
hand, represented "the people as
viewed from the standpoint Of the
Southern Democracy. Divested Of all
cloakings, the claims of the former
included, while those of the latter
pracricallv ignored the blacks as an
eleinenttof tue body polite. The one,
therefore, represented the people :"
as practically confined to the whi;es.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY JULY H. 1875
TIE 8ewdee Mvrder.

On Tuesday last, Herman Kuhn, the car
penter who worked at Anderson's, and " no
left the place the day before the murder,
and joined Carl Alberg on the cars about
twenty miles below, ON the following day,
and went with him to New Orleans, was
arrested as accessory to the murder of
Michael ]. BOwden, and is now confined in
the parish prison.
He is native of Saxony, fifty-ive years
of age, black eyes, gray hair, of medium
statue and speaks English quite badly.
HIS statement is about as follows:
l am German by birth; came to this
country in l848. and to New Orleans in
l849; went to work for Mr.. Anderson on
the second day of June last, as a carpenter;
started for New Orleans to attend to some
business, on Wednesday, the thirtieth day
owed me, and after dinner I went to the
station; got there too late for the train, and
started down the track, on foot; stopped
over night about twelve miles below, at
Burnside's Valcour Aime place; next morn
ing walked down the levee and back to the
railroad track, stopping at st. Stephen sta
ton in st. John, for the cars; found Gail
Alberg on the train; had some conversation
with him, in which he spoke of joining the
army; kept with him all the way to the
city; Carl said he was a stranger in New
Orleans; didn't know where to go; offered
to show him a place, and took him to the
Alsaice Haus, near the French Market; he
had bag Of clothes with him; we each
paid fifty cents for lodging and breakfast;
Carl said he was ',close on money"
and wanted to sell me some clothes; bought
. high black hat of him for twenty-five
cents; he wanted fifty; we drank a glass OF
beer together aud later went up stairs to
the sleeping room assigned us; Carl offered
to sell me some clothes, and showed me .
pair Of pants which he said 1 could have
tor twenty five cents; told him that was too
little for them; finally bought the pants,
two shirts, q vest and two handkerchisfs,
for s.; Carl then showed me coat which
was too small for me, which he threw in
for fifty cents; this was about ten o'clock
on Thursday night; went 10 bed soon after;
took breakfast next morning with Carl;
this was the last saw of him; returned to
Mr.. Andereon's plantation by steamer, az
irving Sunday morning, with the intention
of going to work Monday.
Kuhn says he has been twice married;
that his first wife died in 1852, leaving him
one son, now residing in Louisville. His
second wife died in 1868, and LETT bin son
ALSO. who is now living in New Orleans. and
owns property on Josephine street. From
all the information we can obtain in refer
ence to this man, we think that no is per-
fectly innocent of any connection with the
James Sentinel.

Fever at Barrancas,

Il was reported on Wednesday tina. gel.
low fever had appeared at Barrancas bar
racks, and tina. all of the troops stationed
there, excep. the sick. had been removed
to Fort Pickens; also. that Commodore
Cooper, at the navy yard, had also estab.
lished rigid quarantine between the navy
yard and Barrancas. BaIrancas being some
eight miles from the city. all kinds of
rumors were soon afioat in regard to the
sickness.
On Wednesday, a. the feques. OF Com.
modore Cooper and Mayor Jones, Drs.
Whiting and Hargis proceeded to the navy
yard on the United States tug Rose, which
the commodore had sent for them, and on
their return they officially reported that the
sick at Barrancas had the yellow fever, but
that, in their opinion, with the quarantine
established at the navy yard, there vas no
fear of its spreading, and that it could be
confined to it's present locality. Since then
Mayor Jones has issued proclamation of
quarantine against Barrancas, and az our
city was never healthier than it is at present.
