The Supreme Court of the United States
having decided that the California legisla-
ton against the Chinese is nnconstitQtion-
al and void, the question of Chinese immi
grafton is agitated anew in San Francisco.
The intensity of. prejudice there may be
judged by the fact that James Lick, the
Philanthropist, has responded to popular
clamor by refusing to employ Cinnamon in
constructing his observatory. The Mayor
Of San Francisco says, in public letter
Municipal legislation is powerless to arrest
what we know to be most alarming and
growing evil. State legislation has ex-
hausted itself to devise q remedy. Our
only source of aid is from the treaty making
power and from the general Congress of the
United States. The Chinese have invaded
the heart OF our city, and are destroying
its property values. They successfully de-
ffy our police authorities, making their own
laws and regulations, and enforcing the
same by their own authorities; they are
crowding our prisons, asylums, and hospi-
tails, and the evil is growing to such pro-
portions as to threaten the prosperity of
the city and to endanger the public
safety"

THE JEsUIrs IN pUENos ArREs.

1t 10 announced that the handsome COL
lege of the Jesuit Fathers in Buenos
Ayres, which was burned last year by the
blood thirsty rioters who committed such
havoc, has been completely restored, and
shines with all it's former splendor. The
college is one of the frat rank, where all
the sciences are taught in their highest
perfection. Its library, laboratory, it's
collections, ETC., were all most remark able
and all were unfortunately burned by the
rioters. But the Inhabitants of B1enos
Ayres did not wish to bear the shame of
30 great disaster, and in q few months
they subscribed a cum of no less than three
million francs to completely restore what
had been destroyed. The college is now
in it former handsome state, and the
Government has sent a special envoy to
Rome to convey to the Holy Father the
consoling news of the reparation that had
been made by the many faithful for the
outrages of few Red Republicans.

THREATENED TO HANG HER
NO FRAUD in THAT.

The New Orleans correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette says:
"The canvass of the returns in the
parish of DeSoto yesterday caused
the circulation of report on the
streets to the effect that the Repub-
licans were tampering with the re-
turns. The returns were receipted
for by the clerks Of the board as hav-
ing been made on the 1st instant.
Sealed and in the same package was
contained the affidavit of the super
visor of the parish made in Orleans
parish, charging fraud and intimida-
tion. The question naturally arose
how the affidavit of the 25th inst,
got into apackage which was sealed
with wax, and received on the 18th,
seven days before. The clerk prompt
ly explained that he had received o
package purporting to be the returns
from DE Soto on the 18th inst. The
package was brought before the
board and opened, and was found to
contain the returns of the supervi-
sor, but not accompanied by the ad-
ditional affidavits. The package
which had been opened was received
yesterday, having been mailed to
the board on that day, and as having
been retained by the supervisors for
the purpose Of attaching the affidavit.
The result as given by the return of
the 18th tailed exactly with the re-
suit in the second return, and show
ed no tampering with the returns,
and all the Republican delegation
are satisfied that there is nothing
wrong in the transaction. The su-
pervisor dared not remain in the
parish, and hence the filing of affida-
Wits, accompanied by another state
ment of votes in this parish. The
Democrats are seeking to make cap
ital out of the circumstance, but if
that is what they base their hopes on
to prove f aud, they will fail misera-
bly,"

they are. t
A New Orleans Correspondent of the
Chicago Journal recites the testimony of
a poor colored man who tells the story
which thousands of other poor negroes
verify in one form or another from per-
sonal experience. We ask every read
er of HERALD to read it and then
show it to his neighbors. Let the facts
be known. The Democrats are industri-
ously circulating the rebel side of the sto-
ry and stoutly denying that there was any
intimidation or coercion excepting among
the colored republicans who, the conieder-
ate allege, "intimidated" q J colored Dem
ocrats. The confederates have control of
the telegraphs of the southern states; and
by their superior facilities for handling
the newspaper press, the railroads and all
the social and political machinery they
make their side OF the story heard five
times where the black mans is heacd bu,
once. 1t is only when special committees
of investigation are sent down south un-
der the protection of the general govern
ment that the truth is reached. When,
therefore, the actual situation of the "bull-
dozed' sections of the south are fairly
ascertained the country ought to be made
acquainted with the truth, the whole truth

Affidavit of f. A. Glover, Supervisor Of
Registration, Louisiana.

During said registra-
ton it came to my knowledge in my
official capacity that a large number
of the qualified electors of said par.
ish, colored men, were forced to Join
Democratic clubs, and told that if they
did not vote the Democratic ticket
they would be "bull-dosed," by which
words | understood to be meant arm

er violence, putting them in fear of
their lives, and forcing them to flee
their homes.
Some time prior to or during said
registration, colored man named
Joe Johnson, qualified elector of
said parish, and prominent Repub-
lican, was visited by armed men at
his house in the night, and taken pris-
oner by them. Said parties poured
coal oil over his person, and set him
on fire, and then shot him to death.
Some time near or during said reg
istration, colored man named Will
liam Y. Payne, q qualified elector of
said parish, was visited at his house in
the night, by an armed band of white
men, who took him from under his
bed, put rope or lariat around his
ne:k, and attached the rope to the
pommel of a saddle on a horse or
mule,
AND DRAGGED HIM TO DEATH.
A short time before or during said
period of registration q colored man
named Isadore Heron, a qualified
elector of said parish, Justice of the
Peace, and Republican, was visited
by an armed band of men at
night, at his house, and taken prison
er by them;' said parties put a rope
around his neck, attached said rope to
the pommel of a saddle, dragged him
nearly to death, then severely whip
ped him and let him 60.
During said period of registration

went to the house of one Aleck Gil

Republican leader, for the purpose of
killing him, and not finding him, for

Armed bands of white men patroIl-

of the colored people, and causing
them to be in fear of their lives and
persons should they vote the Repub-
lican ticket.

They passed our windows, ''the rank chow rank
And file" trough tile) of the enemy:
Methought the moon in her luster shrank
From the sight, and hazed their forms to see,
With their drummer drumming drearily.
The shirts they wore were dingy, and
Their pants were dingy, butternut brown;
Suitable suits for Tilden band
10 wear as they wearied loyal town.
With their drummer drumming drearily.
They wore no coats. and had tattered hats,
In fact they seemed but a tattered crew;
Many were famous for drunken spats,
And their torchlights cleaned DER faces blue,
color they scorn, but were forced to show.
AS their hopes for the "lost cause flickered low
AND their drummer drummed so drearily.
Transparencies vile they carried too,
But wit was scarce, and so was reason;
The most transparent thing in view
w as their aid to unrepentant treason;
Misguarded men, deserving scorn,
Who marched until twas nearly morn
With their drummer drumming drearily,
Contrast them with our "boys in blue"
Whose manly forms are neatly clad
In caps and capes of loyal hue;
The sight doth make our spirits gladI
Ahl noble men, or white or black,
Our country's hope; she ne'er will lack
Defense and aid in times of woe,
When traitor bands move to and fro,
With drummer drumming drearily.
