Last week merchant of Port Hud.
son, while travelling In West Baton
| Rouge on business. met colored man
who was a debtor of his TO the extent
| of some fifty dollars and who disap-
peared very mysteriously from that sec
| ton some months ago, and learned
| from his lips tale of woe that almost
c,irtlles the blood OF civilized man to
even contemplate such u thing. This
| inofIensiye colored man who had always
been known by his white friends as an
| honest, industrious and peaceable man,
| informed tho merchant that on the
night OF his disappearance he was
! foroibly taken from his house by Geo.
/ Brown and crowd Of negroes, who
live on the Mount Pleasant plantation,
his hands were tied behind him, was
marched like criminal to execution
into the woods below Mount Pleasant,
and there tied to the ground and
whipped nearly to death, receiving over
hundred lashes with raw-hide whip,
after which he was sent across the river
with the positive order never to return,
and the gentle reminder that IL be
violated that order he would suffer
death This coIored man says he knows
of no reason why he was thus treated
unless 1t was because he had signifled
his intention not to vote with the
Republican party this year. He also
assured the merchant that IL the white
people would assure him protection
against the organized mob on the
Mount Pleasant place he would return
and work for him, and pay the amount
he knew he honestly owed. This is one
OF the outrages that has been laid at the
door of the innocent white citizens Of
| that section, and we have no doubt
many more of the same character will
soon come to light and place the re-
! sponsibility of such acts where they
rightly belong. We have had no doubt
| for long time that some new system
| had been adopted by the Louisiana
| Radicals to manufacture material for
their outrage mill, and it is evident now,
since the collapse Of the "Colored Union
Rights Stop" the whole secret will come
out, and the world at large will be
able to see with the naked eye the
extent of villainy that is practiced
by Republican leaders against the bet
| ter and more inoffensive class OF colored
| people, the better, at their expense, to
make political capital against the white
people and advance the. unworthy and
corrupt ends of those partisan vampires
whose sole interest in the State is TO
hold Office and draw salaries.
Geo. Brown Is now ia jail and will re-
main there to answer for all his wrongs
at the next jury term of the District
| Court. when he will meet with the just
punishment the law meets out to just
such violations OF law.

A Day Of items.
lsan Antonio Herald
Correspondence New York Hsrald.l


In all our experience as O. reporter we
cannot recall any day SO remarkable for
items OF interest ms yesterday.
About six o'clock In the morning Mr..
Henry Landgraeber was drowned in the
river near the mill.
1t was about nine o'clock before Mr.
Carl Meyer, a baker, sought to commit
suicide very near the same place.
At eleven o'clock the Mexican work
men at the quarries had a general row,
without any substantial results, how
ever.
At twelve o'clock Mr.. j. G. Afford was
shot and killed on Commerce street.
1t was an hour later that a box OF to-
bacco came within an inch and quarter
OF falling or the head OF q colored
porter.
About o'clock an insensible negro
was loaded on q cart and taken TO the
hospital troubled with sunstroke.
Hence we are prepared to believe
there is something in the rumor that a
Mexican fell off the roof OF a house later
ia the afternoon, and broke his leg, and
that tearnster shot himself accident
ally.
The explanation for all this unhealthi-
ness Is to be found in the fact that there
has been too many flies this season,
which is always regarded asa sure sign
OF sickness.

A New Haven boy stole some apples
and hid them under his shirt; then a
