try plainly who and what New Orleans is.
1t concerns the fair name and future VOL
fare of that city to rid itself of the presump-
tious interference of the moneyed barnacles
who are forever baking the purposes Of its
thinking men and of the thinking men Of
the country. Time enough has elapsed and
trials sufficient have been made to prove to
New Orleans that the real interests OF bust
ness are not i'll waiting and compromises,
but in action. The country wants no dicta-
ton from either capitalists or merchants in
New Orleans. Their money is all of any
benefit now, and that cannot be had. Let
New Orleans capitalists and merchants
stick to their ledgers and banks; otherwise,
the people viii in their wrath move the
capital as far from that city the State
limits will allow.

Cause Of Anthony smiths Suicide.

The young man Anthony Smith, who
threw himself into the river in January and
was drowned, alleging as tho cause of the
fears which led ultimately to that act that
he was connected with the riot in Clinton,
Miss, and was fearful of being killed, was,
as we supposed, sufferer from derange-
ment of the mind. The following state
ment made to a citizen of this place by
gentleman of Raymond. Miss, who knew
Smith, clears up the mystery of Smiths
suicide: r
1.-THE fellow Smith you inquire about
came from Chicago. He commenced teach
ing a colorad school on my farm in April,
1875; taught till July, went back North, to
that city. From there he wrote mo several
letters for he same school; Or ii he could
in Kinds. Ipresented his application TO
the trustees OF Raymond coIored school.
They advised mo to write for him: did
50. He came Il second time; arrived at
Raymond on the ard OF October. Il month
after the Clinton riot. He seemed to be
afraid to stay at Raymond, giving, as his
you know, had had everything his own
way before the riot, aud his friends Ned
the town and get Bill baclsj might do him
harm. Seeing that the man was scared,
as supposed, put him on my horse and
ward he came back to town. On the way
back he ran into Col. Hawkins's house and
begged to be concealed, stating that the
negroes were chasing him to murder him.
When he got to Raymond, that evening, he
stopped at Evelin's, asked for board, repre-
sentins that he was here to teach the col,
ored school. This was during the term OF
| tt Fall Circuit Court, and good many OF
the Utica boys were at Evelin's and men,
! toned the Clinton:riot in Smiths presence.
He ran to my Office, and could get rid OF
him no more that evening. So carried
him to Cheveltons for supper. After sup

Babc0ck Acquitted.

Although the jury has returned verdict
Of not guilty on the trial of Gen. Babcock
for completely in the whiskey frauds, yet
every reasoning man in the country must
be satisfied of his guilt. The jury probably
did right, as there was not sufficient legal
evidence to Justify verdict of guilty: but
we think that there was sufficient evidence
upon which to base a beiiefof his actual
and moral guilt.
The course pursued by the defense in
ubjecting to the introduction Of evidence
showed that Babcock's counsel were afraid
of tho issue.
Babcock said before the trial that he was
as innocent as babe, and promised n salts
factory explanation of all the dispatches
and Of his connection with the whiskeS
conspirators. Why did he not keep his
promise, let tho evidence all go i'll, and IL
an honorable man seeking to clear his re
putation give the necessary explanation? Il
was incumbent npon man occupying the
position of Gen. Babcock not to rest salts
fed with a verdict of not guilty, procured
by ruling out testimony or failure OF the
prosecution to prove that certain letters
and documents actually reached him, when
every body was satisfied they had reached
him; but to have placed on record evidence
that would have cleared him from all I'M
putation. AS the matter stands the COM
munity at large believes him guilty and
that his acquittat was procured not on the
merits Of his case but on purely technical
Grounds
