The Southern Rsuub,,can Association


will meet this evening at Clarke's hall, as will
be seen by reference to our advertising columns.
Interesting reI orts, speeches and campaign
songs promise to instruct and entertain the
audience. Other Republican associations, and
all who are interested in Republican success in
the South, are invited to attend the meeting.
The interest which has latterly crystallized
around the prospect of seeing several of these
States carried in the face of large Republican
majorities by outrages, frauds and murderous
intimidation on the part of the rebel Democ-
racy should call together an enthusiastic meet
ing. The true friends of free, representative
Republic will recognize that the highest of
rights and privileges of American citizens ere
based upon the fundamental principle of our
institutions, that the right to the free and un-
intimidated ballot must and shall be main
tained

WAS 1T SUICIDE!
Sudden Death of Rev. Sella Martin.

\ private dispatch has been received by a
resident of this city dated New Orleans, August
II, which states that ~. Sella Martiu prom
inent colored Republican politician of this city,
was found insensIble in his room this morning
from an overdose of laudanum. He died soon
AFTER
Parties Who know him assert that he COM
mitted suicide: while on the other hand it is
claimed that it was accidental death. The
deceased was well known in this community
and considered one of the finest educated
cClored men in the country. He was at one
time pastor Of the Fifteenth street Presbyterian
church i'll this city, a remarkably fluent
speaker, and large congregations attended his
ministratiOns. At one time he served as pastor
of the largest white congregation in Boston.
He came here about the close of the war and
was quite prominent in local and national poll
tics, and for a time was one of the special
agents of the Post Office Department. His
family are now residing near Saratoga, n. Y.

the removal to the new jail several of our
most prominent livery-stable keepers, Messrs.
Cruit, Nailor and Orcutt, have kindly fur
nished carriages for carrying the visitors. Sew
eral others have signiied their willingness to
do the same. For these favors the Union are
deeply thankful. They have the consent of
the jailer, Mr.. Crocker, to establish 'jail
library" for the use of prisoners, believing
that proper books and other reading matter
will, while it instructs, make them better. For
this purpose any one disposed to aid can do so
by contributing books or magazines, such as
are thrown aside as worthless - histories,
readers and anything instructive. No ''sensa-
Lional' matter will be allowed. This will be
under the charge Of jail library committee,

the use of Sabbath-schools will be thankfully

MONSIEUR NICKI.
Decease of q Well-known Dog.

Every one in the northern part of the city
knew Mr.. M'Gowan and Monsieur Nicki. They
were always together; they kept bachelors
hall together; they went visiting together, and
always went home together, whether it was
late or early. No one could harm Monsieur
Nicki without getting good, sound scolding
from Mr.. M'Gowan; no one could wrong Mr..
M'Gowan without coming under the personal
notice of Monsieur Nicki. When Mr.. M'Gowan
snubbed anybody Monsieur Nicki snubbed him
too, or when Monsieur Nicki was snubbed Mr..
M'Gowan consideIe ed that he was snubbed too.
Monsieur Nick was a dog, a big, handsome
Newfoundland. He had learned to love Mr..
M'Gowan, and his affection was reciprocated.
When Monsieur Nicki wagged his tail Mr..
MGowan was happy. He had learned to do
everything that men do except talk. He would
sit, with pair of big glasses straddling his
nose, and read the daily paper with as much
solemnity as the most solemn misanthrope.
He was easily satisfied and did not care how
old the paper was, or whether he got the
freshest news or not. He heard good deal of
gossip. too, but he locked sententious and kept
his mouth shut.
He used to do his own marketing, and would
never touch the brown parcel of meat that he
got from the butchers until he had taken it
home, as a well-bred dog should do, aud
shown it TO Mr.. MGowan, and snuffied his
grateful thanks over it. Then he used to look
after his master, and carry his lunch in lit
tie basket from home to Mr.. M'Gowan's
office. 1t was a sorry thing for the pants of
any little boy who attempted to interrupt him
while he was performing this most important
mission. When Monsieur Ncki was taken
into the pound Mr. M;Gowan was sure to be
there in a short time, and the two would leave
together. Late at night when the neighbors
heard the humping of a walking stick on the
pavement, and somebody talking exctedly
aud laying down the law, and occasional lit
tie snifs and barks of assent, they knew that
Mr.. M'Gowan and Monsieur Nicki had been
out having good time and were just return
ing home. But Mr.. M'Gowan walks alone
now. Monsieur Nicki was shot. Mr..
M'Gowan is loft alone in the world. Monsieur
Nicki has been buried, and his old master
will have tombstone erected to his memory.
The other day Mr.. M'Gowan was walking
along, musing over piece of paper, and COM
menting audibly to himself. 1t was the fol-
lowing elegy, written for Monsieur Ncki's
tombstone:

an Opposition House Of Representatives, the

cries were heard, and attracted all the
workmen and officials to the spot where
the lion had been safely placed out OF
the reach of doing harm to all but those
who might wilhully seek danger. The
sight presented was a lrightrul one. The
iniurlated animal had the limb of the ad-
venturous cattle-dealer between his
teeth, and was dragging the whole body
within the iron bars. The spectators
Immediately armed themselves with
picks, shovels, and crowbars; but before
they succeeded in forcing the lion to
loosen his hold he had torn the man
trightfully. Medical assistance was
soon procured, and it was found neces-
sary to perform an amputation to save
the life of this victim Of his own reck-
lessness.
