RADICAL ROBBERS.

That "Christian General %. o.
Howard-and also his Confedcratcs,
who robbed the negroes Of over three
millions Of dollars, through their Freed.
mans Bank at Washington, have been
presented to the public in new role.
1t now appears that the pass-books
furnished TO the colored depositors in
the Frcedman's Bank had printed up
on them n guarantee OF the general
government for the payment of every
dollar deposited. OF course there was
no authority tor this misuse of the
credit of the government by the scoun-
drels who robbed the colorcd men in
It's name, but it adds TO the enormity
of the robbery, and it gives the suffer
ers a moral standing, If not legal one,
in asking that they be protected against
rascalities which were in every in
stance the work of recognized public
officials.
This General Howard was the "head
centre" OF q ring of "Christian' Gen
erals, Statesmen and Philanthropists
who took special charge OF the Negro
race when the war broke out To listen
to their plcas for "thc oppressed, eli
slavcd, colorcd people" caused tears
to flow from the mos. obtnse rebcl
eyes. But what has been the practi
cal workings OF these philanthropit
free. booters? Just as soon as thoy ob
tanned control Of the government and
the negro, they 80 to work and plum
der both the white and black races o
millions of revenue ard their savings
earned by the sweat of their brows
The worst band of burglars, or coun
terfeiters ever organized in this coun
try, never succeeded in plundering the
taxpayers of this country of half thu
treasure that these hypocritical scoun
drels have cribbed from their confid
ing friends and the public,
This is not all. This band OF free
hooters, who have adopted Hayes al
their future head, now ask those whom
they have robbed for ten years past
to give them the same privileges fol
four years more. This, for impndenc'
and hypocricy, beats anything th'
Devil ever conceived. In his boldes
attempt to mislead the human family
he never developed half the richness
these Grant-Hayes leaders have.

closed for the season. a greater out
rage was never perpetrated on either
the Indians or the white race than this
Black Hills war. 1t was gotten up in

Democratic Parish Conventlou-Thirt

Democratic Parish Conventlon-Third
Day.
The convention did not assemble until
near half-past twelve o'clock yesterday, and
then adjourned, it being understood that
the committee on credentials was not pre-.
pared to make a report. Rumor had it that
that committee had partly considered the
contest in the second ward, and had quite
completed the third ward, but nothing like
reliable statement was made public. All
the members of the committee and the wit
nesses, and all who are in attendance are
sworn to secrecy until the veil is lifted. The
intention is to keep the entire proceedings
strictly private until the committee shall
be able to make formal report to the con-
vention, but there are people who think
that the most important events will leak
out, despite the greatest vigilance.
An impression exists that the committee
on credentials will not finish its labors be-
fore the end of this week, and if such is
the case, or is not, our readers will probably
care but little. The usual number of
hangers on loitered around the State House
yesterday, and the casual observer was per-
fectly delighted in noticing how entirely
confused they we're by reason of a lack of
even remote rumors Of what was transpiring.
Late in the day it transpired that the
committee on credentials had agreed to re-
port in favor of granting the Wizard dele
CATION the third ward.

The Attack Upon School Girls.

The Attack Upon School Girls.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The Times. with q provoking satisfaction,
tells Of the shameful attack upon two inno-
cent little colored girls. sent without their
own fault by their parents to the Paulding
School There is surely NO chivalry in
white people looking quietly on, even with
brutal satisfaction, at the pelting with mud
and stones of little children, without any
one to prevent such an outrage. What is
most provoking to me personally in this
affair is, being Jew myself, to see that
three Jewish boys distinguished themselves
ty being the foremost in this naughty
affair. Surely most of the blame falls upon
their parents, who did not instruct their
children with the history of their own peo-
pie, and the moral commands of Moses; or
the children would know that their own an
ces:ors have been slaves in Egypt, and that
every IsraeIite has daily in all his prayers to
thank God that He brought him out of the
bondage of Egypt; further that according
to the Bible the Jews and negroes come
from the same ancestors, as Ham and
Japhet have been brothers.
am convinced that the same indignation
against the bad behavior of these three
Jewish boys animstes the hearts of all en-
lightened and righteous Israelites, and
should like to see that the Rabbi of the
different congregations of our city would
also publish their disapproval of this affair
and give warning to their coreligionists tt
prevent their children from committing
such acts of intolerance and persecution.

Wreck of the Steamer Rebecca Clyde.
WILMINGTON, N. c., September 2O.-The
name Of the passenger lost on the Rebecca
Clyde was Whilden. He was from Charles
ton. The saved are Messrs. j. M. Crowley,
Walter Parsley and Fred Price, all of this
city. The ship had gone to pieces, and part
of her cargo has been washed upon the
beach near Portsmouth. The Rebecca
Clyde was one of the Baltimore and Viii.
mington line of steamers. She had been
running for few months past as far south
a. Charleston. from which port she arrived
here on last Friday afternoon, and sailed
for Baltimore on Saturday morning with Q
cargo of naval stores, cotton and peanuts.
She registered 440 tons, With capacity of
2l00 barrels naval stores. Captain Childs,
some years since her commander, was reap.
pointed to the Clyde about two months ago.
He was about fifty years of age.
The steamship Rebecca Clyde sailed Sat.
urday morning loaded with naval stores
and cotton. She became disabled off Ocro-
coke inlet, twenty miles south of Cape Hat
teras, Sunday morning about seven O'Clock,
from the rolling of her deck load and
breaking her steering gear, and the lashing
OF the deck load becoming entar gled in the
propeller. The wind was blowing q per
feet hurricane from the southeast. In an
effort to heave the deck load overheard,
Mr.. Whilden, from Charleston, E. Ely,

two seamen, names unknown, were washed

The Naturalization In the Sixth District
Court.
The report Of the case Of Antonio Zarico
before United States Commissioner South.
worth was not Intended to indicate that
naturalization in the Sixth District Court
was conducted in any irregular manner. 1t
was simply tho detail of the confession of
Zalico, who had falsely sworn he was
minor in 1862, when he was twenty seven
years Of age, and his excuse.
Judge Saucier has now presided with
ability over the Sixth District Court for
nearly four years. His reputation for con-
scientious labor, patience and integrity is
unexcelled. If possible, his proceedings in
the matter of naturalization are more strict
and careful than in any other cases. No
such looseness as Zarico describes could
have occurred before MIN or in the office of
Mr.. O'Brien. Before Zarico received his
certificate he was examined by the Judge in
open court and swore to the facts in his
case with full understanding of them.

perfect order and arrangement, and .
demonstrative enthusiasm We little ex-
pec:ed to find in West Feliciana. There
were present between 1000 and 5000. Our
usual team of speakers addressed the
throng in the following order: Campbell,
Packard, Lewis, Harris and Wharton
Burch having gone to address an audience
in Pointe Coupee who had not been noti-
fed, and we're not present at the meeting
in that parish. The utmost order and de-
corum prevailed. There we're many Demo
Gratis present-ex-Gove Wickliffe, &. l..
Fisher, Esq, Colonel Sam Powell, and
many others. The speakers, contrasting
their treatment from the opposition here
and in East FeliciAna, all thanked the
Democrats for their patient and respectful
hearing.
In short the meeting was complete and
magnificent success. Some time since q
correspondent from this parish wrote to the
Democrat that they (the Democrats) would
carry West Feliciana by 1900 majority.
Now he just got the boot on the wrong foot,
for that is just the majority we know will
be rolled up in November for Hayes and
Packard.
l have omitted to state that after the
speaking the vast assembly was treated to
bountiful barbecued dinner, to which all
parties were invited.
Senator E. L. Weber. assisted by his ac-
complished lady, had prepared sumptu-
GUS dinner for the speakers and their COM
panions. but just as we were sitting down
to q table groaning with viands, . steamer
whistled for the landing, and the party re-
luctantly left the hospitable board to get
quick return to New Orleans, whence we
will again journey to Delta to meet the
appointment of Tuesday next. Too much
praise can not be bestowed upon our friends
E. L. and D. A. Weber, Armstead, Swazie
and Hewlett for their energy, spirit. excel
lent arrangement and unbounded hospital
ity. We feel that We have left the Repub-
lican party of West Feliciana safe in their
hands, and that with good parish nomina-
tions they will utterly annihilate in Novem
Der that spirit of lawlessness which has
sometimes disturbed the peace and retard
ed the prosperity of West Feliciana.
