Colored Boat Club.

We noticed with interest the intention Of
the colored people to organize and drill .
boat club, and we would like to see them
also man yacht. This, old citizens well
know, is no new thing. There we're colored
crews at the mouth of the river in the en-
ploy OF the health and customhOuse author
tiles which were athletic and powerful
men, and, like the celebrated Kroomen on
the western coast of Africa feared no con-
tag;ous fever or other climatic disease.
There have besides always been colored
sailors on our lake craft who can hand,
reef and steer very well.
In expressing our interest in these enter
prises it is in no sense with any idea Of
race rivalry. 1t is in the same spirit of
industrial cooperation which would hail
an accession to the agricultural force of
the country. IL is of the utmost impor-
tance that the Southern ports shall have a
maritime interest which will ultimately
control the Gulf trade with the tropics.
This trade will require hardy and acclim-
ated sailors, and the commercial interests
Of the city will see the immense advantage
of employing and instructing the colored
people in the common service. We do not
know that the colcred oarsmen can beat
the time of the crews of England and New
England, but they can certainly work ship
in latitudes where the sailors of the North
would be prostrated by disease or power
less with lassitude. Let our motto then be
everything and everybody for the indus
trial service of Louisiana. 1t is thus and
only thus that the drain Of cash for manu-
factories and freights can be arrested and
the products of our labor capitalized and
kept at home.

Reception Of the Rifle Team in New York.
The members of the rifle team arrived at
the City Hall at halt-past two O'Clock,
where they were received by Mayor Wick
ham aud number of distinguished citizens.
The Mayor, in q brief but complimentary
manner, welcomed the team, and compli-
mented them on their successful competi-
ton with the British marksmen.
After leaving the Governors room, the
members of the team entered carriages,
amid the cheering of the crowd, and as the
vehicles formed in line, two abreast, por-
Dtion of the Twelfth Regiment, National
Guards, surrounded them as q special
guard of honor.
The procession then moved off in the fol-
lowing order: Twenty second Regiment,
Sixty ninth Regiment, Fifteenth Regiment,
the special escort members of the National
Rifle Association, and German Scheutzen
corps in carriages. The line moved out Of
the west gate of the City Hall park up
Broadway to Fourteenth street, down Four
teenth street to Fifth avenue. and up Fifth
avenue to Broadway to Army and Navy
club on Twenty.eighth street, where ban
quet was given the team, at which speeches
were made by members of the team and
club. The progress up Broadway was an
enthusiastic one, and notwithstanding the
rain many spectators crowded the side
walks to honor the return of the visitors.
Several buildings along the line were gaily
decorated with the national cOlOrs.

The depositors in the Freedman's Bank
in this city are now in fair way to have q
portion Of their losses returned to them in
the way Of dividend. This fact being
known, it appears that unauthorized per-
sons have taken advantage of it for per-
sonal profit. This caused Mr. C. D. Sturte-
want, lately the cashier of the New Orleans
branch, noted as being a sound institution
under his management, to address letter
to the commissioners at Washington max
ing inquiries. The following answer, re-.
ceived by him, will probably settle the
matter:
OFFICE OF rHE COMMISSIONERS CT rHE)
Freedlnsn's Savings and Trust Companv, ,
Washington, D. c., August 9, ls75.}
c. D. Sturte want, Esq, No. "a Canal street New
Orleans, Louisiana:
DEAR SIR-Your favor of the fourth in
slant is at hand, informing us that one J. D.
Kennedy has opened an Office in your city
for the purpose of collecting dividends
which may be declared by us, and asking
what you shall say to dep0sitOrs, many Of
whom are coming to you for advice in re-
gard to intrusting their books to him.
We reply that we have no knowledge o
Mr.. Kennedy, and have authorized no person
to act for or to represent US in the matter
Of paying dividends. In fact, we propose to
and to pay dividends from this Office direct,
in the following manner, viz: When We
shall have got in the treasury OF the
United States the sum required Tor the pay-
ment of twenty per cent pro rata-say about
5000 900, we shall declare the dividend and
advise depositors accordingly, through the
public press and by such other means as
may suggest themselves to us at the proper
time. When so declared we shall paw the
dividend to depositOrs outside of the Wash
ington branch by our checks on the assist
ant treasurer in New York. drawn to the
order of the depositors respectively. To
get these checks depOsitOrs will need only
to send us their pass books by mail, or
through any bank or bankers. Upon re-
ceiving the books we shall enter the pay
ments thereon, and will return them, with
the proper checks incl0sed to the depOsi-
tor, in such manner as he or she may re-
quest. These checks any depositor eught,
and no doubt will, be able to get cashed
without cost, or at most, at current rates of
exchange on New York.
just how s00n we shall have money to
pay the required twenty per cent we can
not say. Or the $500, 900 needed we have
in hand some $463, 900. and have hopes of
securing the difference between now and
Christmas.
If you will be at the pains to explain to
depositors the plan above indicated, and
will add thereto that the commissioners ad-
wise them to hold on to their books until q
dividend shall be ready, and then to send
them to US direct or through some reliable
bank, you will have done them such service
as is at present possible.
Those depositors who have not had their
books balanced should send them to US to
be verified, in order to save delay when a
dividend shall be ready. They will be re-
turned without delay.
Respectfully, r. n. T. LEIPOLD,
OF the Commissioners.

For many years Keller's book store was
one of the institutions of the city. Its fame
spread far and wide, and on its shelvs, or in
it's crooks and crannjes could almost always
be found works curious and rare, which a
search elsewhere had failed to discover.
Keller was genius in his way. He was a
man of many experiences, with mind
crammed full Of information, but as hetero-
geneous as the stock of goods he had passed
a lifetime in gathering. Whatever his
idiosyncraciee, he never wished harm to a
living human creature. 1t was more in a
spirit of grim humor than anything else
that few days after the occupation Of the
city by the federal troops he came in pos
session Of an articu!ated skeleton, which he
exhibited in his window, placarded as that
of "Yankee soldier from Chickahominy
swamp" This rude Joke cost him dearly,
for General Butler banished him to an out
lying military post, where he remained a
prisoner for many months. During the
emeutc of the fourteenth of September last,
curiosity called the old man to Canal street,
where stray shot struck him in the knee.
Old, infirm, broken in health, his constitu-
ton had not strength to survive the shock
to his system, and so, after lying for months
at the Charity Hospital, the old man died
sincerely regretted by those who knew him
best.
His son succeeded to the custody of the
old book store, and it was hoped that
"Keller's' would remain, as it had been.

had spent life time in accumulating, are

Rancho, twenty -four miles from here, and
captured the place. They captured two

one of the women, and when they found
they were pursued they killed the 9th er

Tho United States Construction Depart-
ment.
About three weeks since an Investigation
BY Special Agent Kinsella, founded on the
allegations of several employees paid by
the United States or by contractors as
agents for work done by them on that
building. The REPUBLICAN, paid but little
attention to it for two reasons. Mr.. Kin
sella was not conducting Judicial investi-
cation, and had no power to compel the
attendance of witnesses. His part in the
affair was to hear all that could be said,
and for this purpose he listened to every
one who could or would come forward, and
then to make report to the Treasury De-
partment. Until that report was made no
one had any legitimate business with the
testimony. Next, Mr.. Kinsella himself did
not choose to make public any incomplete
statement of the case. The REPUBLICAN,
respected both Of these considerations. No
action has yet been had ON Mr.. Kinsella's
report.
It was stated that the complainants were
dissatisfied with Mr.. Kinsella, wishing him.
perhaps, to hang all other parties in the
marble business room, and had procured an
order from Judge Woods to transfer the
case to . United States commissioner. As
this would be An absurd contravention Of
the rules of an intelligent practice of Amer
lean law nothing of the kind happened.
There were, and are, two ways for parties
placed in the position these complainants
fancy themselves to be in, to redress their
grievances. They may address themselv Ives
to District Attorney Beckwith, and induce
him to file information against any wrong
doers, or they may find United States COM
missioner who will give them the same
attention and issue warrants on their oaths
against the same parties.
BY An article in the Picayune yesterday
evening it appears that these compliments
took the latter course. But as Commis.
sioner E. D. Craig was not to be found, re-
port having it he had sought relaxation out
Of the city for day or two, and as no one
mentioned heard Of any warrant, Mr.. Craig
has probably kept the matter under advise
ment. The law the Pcayuae quotes is
perfectly correct; that any one who pays a
man employed by him tor the United States
less than the sum he charges the United
States, for the services rendered, is guilty Of
embezzlement. But the whole of the Re-
vised Statutes might have been quoted as
appropriately. Mr.. Kinsella sought for evil
dence of violation of this law and for vio-
lations of other sections. If he had found
enough to warrant him in doing it, he
would have no doubt referred the matter
to District Attorney Beckwith, or to Com
missioner Craig himself. He has not done 90,
and has not yet given his report to the press.
The REPUBLICAN, prefers to wait for this,
because it is the proper course for news
paper, and does justice to parties who are
accused.
