invoices the aid aud cooperation Of all
good citizens to uphold the laws and

The proclamation is regarded here
MS IA mere formality, no additional
troops having been ordered TO South
Carolina. There ia not, 50 far rs can
heascertained, the remotest intention
ON the part Of the Federal Govern

In depriviug the citizens of South
Caro'ina of their private arms. Not
withstnnding these semi-Onitial ASST
RANGES, there Is considerable indigna-
ton at this interference by the govern

on the unsupported assertion of Gov

dependent upon military intimida-
ton. Major General Chandler will

FATAL ACCIDENTS.
A Child Run Over and Killed by a
Street Car.

Monday morning, about II o'clock, little boy
fifteen months old, the son of Mrs. Lizzie Beln-
coma, residing corner of Cont and Burgundy
streets, was run over in front of her parents
residence by car No. II of the Orleans Railroad
Company. The child was taken to his home, in
the vicinity, where he died at o'clock p M.
The driver, Anthony Alimo, was arrested and
locked up in the Third Precinct Station.
AN OLD WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
Monday morning, about II o'clock, a woman
named Mary BaunePad, aged about n years, and
a native of Ireland, was found lying inlensible
on the floor of her wood and coal shop, No l26
Thalia street, between Constance and Magazine
streets, and suffering the most agonizng pain
from bnrns about the head and body, receive d it
is thought, during the night previous. The old
womans clothes were burned to the skin, and it
is presumed that she attempted to get IN bed and
fell to the floor throwing the table over, which
was placed lighted CANDLE and was too feeble
to extinguish the flames before she was badly
burned, and in moving around on the floor must
have put the fire out. As soon as she was ois-
covered this morning physician was called, who
examined her injuries ard pronounced them NOR
tai. She fingered until 2 p. NJ, when she breathed
her last.

The CONDITION OF BUSINESS.

Under this heading the New York Sum- Of
December 31st, publishes very excellent
editorial, from which we make the following
extracts:
Though people have been for two years now
prophesying AMI anticipating the improve
ment of business yet trade still continues un-
satisfactory. The situation is not alarming,
nor is the prospect very gloomy. But there
are many failures, and merchants find that
they must content themselves with smaller
percentage of gain than that to which they
have grown accustomed, and with reference
to which they had fixed their scale Of ex-
penses at home and in the warehouse.
The number of failures shows only how far
the shrinkage in values has affected houses
which were doing more business than their
capital justified. Though the private calamity
is great in such cases, yet the public really
gains by the disaster which attends such
weakness. The houses that stand are strength
ened, and a premium is put on conservative
business management. The wedding out pro-
cess will do good, and decrease the hazards
which always accompany extended credit.
This salu'ary effect will continue until bust
ness again gets into speculative channels.
when the failures will again increase, and
more wedding ont viii bave to be done.
The most serioas outlook is i'll manufac-
turing The condition of our manufactures
as whole is not encouraging, although
they are much nearer hard pan than they
have been for years. They can not long
remain in their present stagnant situation,
and the greater economy which nov governs
the management Of the factories enables them
to produce fabrics at nearly as low rate as
they did before the war, and yet save fair
margin of profit.
What the people of the country, who are
themselves SO closely economizing, dem and
of the government, is that like rigid econ
omy shall control its expenditures Expenses
municipal, State and national-must every.
where be brought down to the lowest attaina-
Bile figure. The party that does this will get
the suffrages Of the people, in spite OF Grants
anti Catholic third.term movement and all his
other schemes for his own reelection. Re-
duce the expenses, reduce the taxes, stop the
stealing; those are the demands.

which indicated very turbulent and riotous
condition of affairs.
Our information was received from gen.

endeavor, intentionally, to mislesd us; never
theless, we cheerfully publish the following
contradiction from our friend Veritas," and

PENSACOLA, FA Dec. 81, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear Sir-In your issue of the 30th inst.
I see statement concerning the recent NUM-
cipal election in this place that is so startling,
and at the same time so wholly without
foundation, that, rs citizen Of Pensacola. l
feel urged to beg you to correct the mis-
chievOus error as soon as possible.
The election held here on the 9th inst.
was the quietest l have ever witnessed any
where; and ,hough, rs is very natural, the
defeated pArty-the r .dicals-were very sore
| over the result, l feel justified in saying that
throughout the entire day there was not o
gle breach of the peace.
Your Informant may not have intended to
mi lead yon, and III ~ possibly have founded
bis statement on an occurrence which took
place on Tuesday night, VIZ: the attempted
assassination Of negro who had been en in.
spectOr at ona OF the polls He was shot
White seated at his own supper table, and one
of his children also received several wounds.
HIS colored brethren had endeavored to dis
su ,de him from performing the duty, as it was
the design of the white Radicals here to pu,
one Of their own number III his place, but he
had declined to withdraw, and did perform
his duty we'll, Notwithstanding the negroes
and white Radicals tried to ,errify him by
threats OF their vengeance.
This dastardly attempt excited much indig-
nation among the white people here and
think meets with the condemnation OF the
majority of the negroes. Those who threat
ened this man have all been arrested and will
undergo a strict examination. They are ne
groes and white Radicals, and if the evidence
be sufficient, they will certainly meet with
their just punishmenls.
