ALLEGED Inhumauity.

DR.. s. s. Herrick, sanitary inspector of
the First District, states in his report to
the Board of Health that not believing the
smallpox hospital proper place, no pa
tients have been sent there. One patient
died there of pneumonia in consequence Of
exposure in being allowed to 60 out; three
others died who ought to have recovered.
This is very serious charge-and an
official one, too-ag ainst public institu-
ton supported by the public treasury.
Common decency and common humanity
demand that q full investigation of it be
made, and proper management m of the
hospital instituted, OF those now in charge
relieved from the odium this terrible accu-
sation places them under.
Unfortunately, no parish grand jury is at
present in session. but the Board of Health
might very properly investigate the charges
made by one of its own officers, and report
the result Of their inquiries to the City
Council which elects the physicians in
control of the institution.
We hope the reputation of New Orleans
will be promptly cleared from the terrible
allegation of fatal neglect Of individuals 50
friehtfully afflicted as necessarily are the
victims Of smell pox.

The Latest 1t Staub,s.

There is steadily increasing demand,
now that national politics are beginning to
shape themselves, for the latest issues of
New York, Cincinn natl and Chicago papers,
and the opinions they express are eagerly
read and discussed. Mr.. Stsub, fully equal
to the emergency, had made every possible
arrangement to satisfy the demands of the
public, as his loaded counters bear witness.
His department, at Goldthwaite's book
store. No. SO Canal street, is constantly
thronged with news seekers; and even those
whose attention is not absorbed by matters
political, find in his varied line of periodi-
cal literature anything and everything to
satisfy their taste.

The whisky Prisonefs.

The friends of the parties ordered by
Judge Woods to Moundsville, West Vir-
ginia, for expiatioa Of crooked whisky
transactions, have but ten days margin in
which to procure q communication Ut sem
tence. If the President has not within that
time directed that their punishment be car
ried ont here, it will become the duty of
the marshal TO forward his prisoners to the
place designated by the court.
In connection with the sentence of Mr..
w. G. James, difference is alleged to
exist between the term Of confinement
orally allotted to him by Judge Woods and
that given in the written decision. Quite
number of those present in the court
room, including certain United States Off.
ciale, are willing to swear that the judge
sentenced James to six months, while the
manuscript reads sixteen months imprison'
ment. 1t may have been an insdvertence
on Judge Woods part, but it the allega-
ton can be established, it is contended that
the oral sentence must stand, and the
prisoner be released at the expiration of
the shorter term named.
Numerous friends have visited the Parish
Prison to condole with the prisoners.

The Hawaiian Treaty.

A private letter from Tobias Gibson, Eeq.,
account of the appearance Of the special
committee appointed at meeting of those
whose interests would be damaged by the
promulgation of the Sandwich Island treaty
before the committee of the Senate. Major
Potts and Lieutenant Governor Antoine
made very favorable impression upon the
committee. At first the csuse of Louisiana
looked black and hopeless, but as things now
stand, Mr.. Gibson thinks there is hope of
success. Juda Allen. chief justice OF the
island, is enthusiastic on the question of
the treaty, and is working hard for its
ratification. He made an elaborate argu-
ment in favor of the treaty, which Mr..
Gibson was preparing to answer. The latter
declares that Major Pots aud Governor
Antoine have executed the trusts confided
to them with the greatest zeal and with the
best results. Their statements were very
effective.
Upon this subject the Washington Ma.
tio,,al Republican of Thursday says:
Lieutenant Governor Antoine anu Mf.
John C. Potts, of the delegation from Lou
isiana, and some delegates from South Caro-
lima and Georgia, had hearing before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
yesterday in opposition to the pending
bill to carry into effect the Hawaiian
treaty. These gentlemen represent
the sugar and rice planting inter-
ests of their sections. They made
arguments to slow that the provi-
sions of the bill admitting sugar and rice
free of duty would prove a death blow to
the labor interests of South Carolina,
Georgia and Louisiana. Governor Antoine
devoted his remarks especially to the
blighting effects which would menace the
colored labor of Louisiana in the event of
the passage of the bill. His argument was
forcible, and produced q marked effect
upon the committee. He presented the re-
solution on this subject adopted by the Re-
publican State Convention May 81.

do this. "Were you ever indicted. HAT
neyi" ssid the lawyer. NE, SIR" rePl'eo
the witness. and very properly with some
spirit, II never was indicted; never sp.
peared before magistrate in my LIE; never
was q witness before in my hfe." Then
followed a lot of insignificant, irrelevant
questions which neither confused the wit
ness nor angered him, neither did it change
his testimony. The lawyer who thus ex-
amined the witness was certainly competent
to cast reflection upon his character, if any
one was, because he (the lswyer) WAS spe'
cially engaged by Mr.. Kerr on the ground
that the lawyer and Harney were both en-
ployes of the House Of Representatives dur
ing the session Of 1866, when all this trouble
took place. The accusations against Mr..
Kerr are boldly made. They were sustained
last Monday a. honestly a. any charges
were ever sustained. Lawrence Harney
solemn,y swore that he paid the money over
to Mr.. Kerr, and Mr.. Kerr sat right by him
throughout all his statement. Mr.. Kerr
SAYS he does not recollect Harney; but Har-
ney recollects him, 80 does Green reccllect
him, and the files of the War De-
psrtment are produced before the
committee, and what these two men swear
to about the nomination is confirmed.
There is great deal of mawkish senti-
mentality apparent here on the part Of Mr..
Kerr's admirers, and some prominent Re-
publioans find there is an element existing
about theI9 House of Representatives Of this
congress that needs tanning. The Demo
Gratis have not got centrol of the govern
ment yet, and it will be we'll for this last
named element, who insult Republicans and
talk about radical thieves, id Yankees,
etc., to control their spirits for awhile.
Msgnanimity sounds very we'll on paper,
but nagnanimity at the close of the war
did not quell the spirit of treason. This
disposition to be magnanimous because
high Democratic skirts arc getting solled
crops out amazingly among magnanimous
Republicans. which 10 mere sentimentality

cratic party to power. D. D. c.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-To-day. 8. the South.
ern Memorial Association of the District
decorated the graves Of the 800 Confederate
soldiers who are buried 1T Arlington ceme-
terry. The ceremonies were of . simple but
beautiful character. There were present
about 800 persons, the ladies predominating.
The msjarlty of the party started from
the Board of Trade rooms in two large and
two small omnibuses and q number of pri-
vate carriages. About noon the assemblage
was called to order ON the p0rtico of the
mansion by DR.. Garnett, who stated that
Rev. DIR. Pitzer would offer prayer, at the
conclusion Of which they would form pro-
ceseion and march to that portion Of the
grounds where they would decorate the
graves.
Rev. H. w. Pitzer. of the Central Prec-
byterian Church. offered q prayer in which
he eaid they recognized that God raised
up some and cast down others, and that
often hopes nearest their hearts had been
cast down. They returned thanks for the
blessed works of the Son of God, who had
taught them how to live and how to die;
had given hope of the blessed life beyond
the grave and reunion in the world to
con e.
He aeked all present, a. they stood TO-
day in the presence of the dead, of those
who had given up everything dear and their
lives in defense of what they believed to be
right, that all would be prepared for the re-
union, that all malice and all uncharitabie-
ness might be forgotten. He returned thanks
for the blessings during the one hundred
years of our national existence now clo.ing,
and prayed that all breaches may he
healed, and that the rulers may have tho
fear of God before them, and that the
blessings of Heaven w.u!d be bestowed
upon US q nation.
The line was then formed, and on ar,iv-
ing in tha. part of the cemetery where the
Confederate dead are buried, it broke into
little groups, who proceeded to deposir
flowers on the graves.
The Blaine Inve stigation.
In the Blaine investigation Mr.. Fisher
testified he had sent Blaine the e25 900 for
the interest in the Northern Pacific road,
and afterward received the money back,
with interest. He did not know why he
never received the stock.

Court Items.


In the Superior Criminal Court John F.
Barrett, Jr., appeared yesterday with his
bondsman, Peter NJ tanning, to be sentenced
for carrying a concea aled weapon. Judge
Steele declared that sentence must be post
poned until the next regular term OF the
court in October, and as Mr.. Manning, who
is solvent bondsman, was willing to 20
Barrett's security again, the latter was re
lease on $3.50 bonds to appear for sentence
and $500 bonds to appear for trial for the
attempt at bribery. He looked very i'll and
could hardly walk, saying that he had been
at the Hotel Dieu since the shooting affrsy
on Bourbon street.

Court of this district, left New Orleans

common country. His best friends differed
with him. The leading men of the race he
had 30 long and faithfully served differed
with him. Events proved that Mr.. Sumner,
like Mr.. Greeley, had been deceived by the
protestations Of clan OF men who have
ever been and are yet the worst enemies of
the South. These enemies are to be found
in the ranks of the Northern Democracy.
The Liberal Republican movement failed
because the Democratic leaders of the North
desired it's failure. The Fernando and Ben
Woods of the North, as we'll as Tildens,
Seymours and the most respectable portion
of the Democrat organization, did not then,
and do not now, desire that the South
should accept in good faith Repub-
lican ideas and principles. Such
political 0verturn would annihilate the
Northern Democracy, for the simple reason
that the compact, united South, as sec,
tional political force inside of the Union,
forms now, as it ever has, the foundation of
the national Democratic party. Without
this Southern sectionalism the Democracy
would cease to exist. As this Southern sec.
tionalism can be best and only promoted
by the influence of race caste and race
prejudice, the Democratic leaders of the
North desired to keep the negro question
open in some form az the live issue of their
party. The acceptance of the Cincinnati
platform by the COnfederates ct Baltimore
worked the disbanding OF the Democratic
party. Senator Bsysrd saw this and dis
approved the Liberal Republican movement
ct the time. For those reasons the Liberal
Republican movement four years ago, under
Mr.. Greeley, Mr. Sumner and Carl Schurz,
was doomed to defeat from the first. The
Democratic leaders of the North, never

trouble. Green, to be sure, says he don't
know whether Harvey really did pay the
money over to Mr.. Kerr or not. Harvey,
however, swears positively that he did 80.
Is not the balance of proof to the effect on
Hsrney's side9 Mr.. Kerr don't know Green
except by q mere introduction. Green be-
longs in New York, is q red hot Republican,
and did not deny his politics, even while
seeking his place. Mr.. Kerr at that time
was of the bitterest of Democrats the most
bitter. Exciting political discussions were
before the House. Tho civil war had not
long been ended; the reconstruction of the
Union was imminent, and the reconstruc-
tion acts were on the tapis. Mr.. Kerr, as
member of Congress, was opposed to the
position on these subjects taken by Henry
J. Raymond. William A. Darling, of
whom Green was Q constituent, and
Mr.. Kerr was bitterly antagonistic
to the dominant party in Congress, headed
BY Thsdeus Stevens. IL it reasonable to
suppose that Mr.. Kerr at such time IS
this would take up an entire stranger,
resident of New York, and radical Repub-
lcan, and take the only Office in his gift at
that time and give it to such man out of
. mere It quest SO to do, made by another
stranger from New York, and leave his
State, his constituents and his party out in

and have talked with some of them, can
not explain this, but say ut will doubtless

SENATOR FERRY ON THE RIVER
AND HARBOR APPROPRIATION
BILL.

As noted last week, Senator Ferry
made grand fight in the Senate in be-
l,alf OF the rivers and harbors of Michi-
gan, and against the proposed reduction
of the appropriations for their improve
ment. AS the contest continued through
three days, it will be impossible for us
to give report of the debate, however
much we might desire to do so. We,
however, make room for the following
extract from the Congressional Record,
which shows not only the strength of
the argument used by Senator Ferry, but
also contains much information valuable
to many of our readers.
The next amendment of the Committee
on Appropriations was to strike OUT lines
40 and Al, i'm the following words:
For the improvement of the harbor at
Frankfort, Michigan. $1,000.
MIR. Ferry-In looking through this
bill it would seem as though the knife
had been directed pretty effectually to
Michigan.
Mr.. Edmunds-It is the largest sore
probably.
Mr.. Dawes-Perhaps it could Inot 90
amiss.
Mr.. Ferry-The Senator from Vermont
says it is the largest sore, and the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, says it cannot &C
amiss. Now, l want to submit to the
Senate that there has been good dea
said about Michigan having so large {
proportion of the appropriations. For ap-
preparation bills, unfortunately Michigan
has the largest coast of any state in the
Union. / think she has 10 per cent. o.
the whole coast of the country. That il
one fact which should be kept in mind IL
considering an appropriation bill thai
necessarily contains items for different
harbors. We have the whole commerce
of the upper lakes passing by that coast
and if that commerce is to be protected
the harbors should be developed and
