Editor CHRONICLE:
1 can relish a good joke at times,
and in its proper place. but the
one lately practised on the preach
er in charge at Colfax I consider
rather too practical to be admired.
just imagine a very tall, slim man,
enveloped in a black wrapper,
large enough to contain q feather
bed and bolster, with only his hair
and eyes visible, and say if you
think it a suitable garment for q
parson to promenade in. Ihave
seen something similar worn by
High Church dignitaries in the
pulpit, but never knew such q
style adopted by the Methodista,
who are generally very plain peo-
pie. Now, sir, / deem it my duty,
through respect to the gentleman
and his honorable profession, to
denounce all such practices as
have been resorted to in this in
stance, and hope those who con-
nive at them will consider well
the ridiculousness of such acts.
No doubt the intention was good
on the part of the donor. else the
care taken to procure a good 6t
would have been avoided, or did
a comic idea occur to him. Then
the mischievous scamp who slip
ped the taylor's memorandum and
changed the figures, ought to be
ducked in the river and made to
pay for the cloth. Why, sir, it
was really shameful. just think
of it--a bolt of good alpaca
thrust in to dress-coat and pants,
large enough for Boss Tweed and
his family, and that, tod. without
one word of apology from the
tailor! I don't know hardly who
to blame for it. Was the tailor
drunk or crazy; or wasit an agree.

Editor CHRONICLE:
lam happy to state that the
colored people are well pleased
with Gov. Nichols and his admin
istration; firmly believing that it
is his intention to do justice by
all-black and white. We are
reioieed that such a bright era has
dawned on our heretofore unhappy
and oppressed State. We are now
having our eyes opened, and find
out that Gov. Nichols manner OF
enforcing the laws tends to ele-
vate the colored man than ever
did the rulings of Warmoth and
Kellogg. We thank God for this
great change for the better, and
hereafter, let it be the Democratic
or other party that is in power, If
they act with such. fairness and
Justice towards the colored popu-
lation, that party will receive the
unanimous support of the colored
people. We want no more carpet
baggers among us. Peace and
tranquility now reigns among us
all, and we wish it to continue.
We want good schools for our
children, so that they will be able
to advance themselves. and that
they will be looked upon as q
power for good in the land. We
are establishing Sunday schools
and churches in various parts OF
the country, and l hope that they
will be the means, in q great
measure, of enlightening our peo-
pie. CoLoRED MAN.

A Case of Bull Doing.
CoLFAx, La, June 3, IL

Editor CHRONICLE
A few. evenings since a trouble
some bull, belonging to a colored
neigLbor, and whose strong at
tachment for the herd caused him
to roam beyond his accustomed
limits, entered the cow-lot Of our
friend, Mcknight. He bowed and
scrapsd the usual compliments,
but not satisfied with his reception
he took a dignifed survey of the
surroundings, tossed his head In
utter contempt for the company,
beloved a farewell to the herd
and dashed through the picket
fence and adjoining corn-held at
two-forty speed on a further voy-
age of discovery. Now, as our
friend. had not planted for the
bulls special benefit, it behooved
him to save his crop. To capture
the bull required the assistance OF
a stout rope and q half-dozen
neighbors. "Where there's a will
there's a way" says the proverb.
His lordship was duly captured
and securely tied to post to pre-
vent further trespass. His cap
tors stood around discussing tho
! best method of punishment, and
others gathered in to give an ex-
preston of their opinion, and
anxiety to see the bull summary
dealt with.
The brute, seeming to UNDER
stand the popular regard for him,
and not willing to accept the treat
, ment, gave another ugly toss Of
: his head, beloved again an angry
, blast of indignant wrath, paved
. the earth and distributed clouds
/ of dust behind him, and bounded
f into the air with the desperation
q of an african lion. Our attention
was too much occupied with the
performance of the bull to notice
f anything else just then; but as W.
t turned to 60 away we thought We
saw somebody dancing a lively JIG

Terrific Tornado.

\
On last Thursday night between
eleven and twelve o'clock, when
the inhabitants of our town had
fallen into the arms of the drowsy
god, q terrible tornado visited us,
doing considerable damage. 1t
was accompanied by a heavy rain,
which lasted about fifteen minutes,
but its work of destruction, for SO
short q time, was great. 1t pass
ed from South to North, and must
have been whirlwind. The
trunks of pecan and other trees,
measuring at least three feet in di-
ameter, were wrenched and snap
ped like straws, and it stripped all
the trees of their limbs ard leaves,
that stood in the way of its fury.
1t appeared to rise and fall in its
onward course like the richochet-
ing of a cannon ball, and when it
came close to the ground, the havoc
was great.
The damage in our village is
considerable, but it appears that
the main force of the storm struck
the high bank of the river on this
side, which served. somewhat as
protection to the town, and il
then raised over the houses, or al
would inevitably have been pros.
trated. As it was. only O few
dwelling houses were blown down
the inmates fortunately escaping
from the debris without injury
Stables and out-buildings were
more or less injured, fences were
leveled with the earth, and seve
raj things of considerable weigh
were carried some distance.
Our streets were literally strewl
with the branches of different spe
cies of trees that do not grow
within miles Of this place. Board
from the roof OF Mr.. Mcknight
Clubhouse were carried fully mile
and other things Of similar char
acter were swept away in hk'
manner.
We do not:k to what extern
the crops we're damaged, but fea
it is considerable. The corn j
lying level with the ground, and
great deal of it is broken off an
torn up. Gardens suffered YER
much, too-cabbage and othe
vegetables being torn up by tn
roots, and carried of.
This is about the amount of tn
damage done in the immediate Vi
cinity of Colfax, and we have n
idea of the destruction it cause
before it struck our town, or whs
it done after, in its wild rush {
fury and madness.
Since the above was written, W
learn that seven houses were blow
down on the Forenza place, tw
corn cribs completely carried ava.
and the wife of Tom Mills (colo,
ed) was considerably injured b
the falling of one of the houses.

The Railroad Tax.
N. o. Democrat. ]

The positive ana empnaClc re-
fusal of the voters of New Orleans
to levy q special forced tax upon
property for the purpose of foster
ing a private enterprise, will 60
further toward strengthening the
credit and good name of the city
and State than anything except
the wrestling of the government OF
Louisiana from the control of alien
plunderers. The vote cast on Fri
day last against the proposition
to confscate q portion Of the Ia
boriously accumulated property OF
real estate holders for the benefit
of corporation that had no more
just and equitable a claim to gov
ernmental support than any other
corporation engaged in an enter
prize calculated to advance direct
| ~ the interests of the corporators
and indirectly those of the commu-
nifty at large, was q stronger con-
| domination of q dangerous and vi
cious principle sought to be en-
grated upon our institutions than
| we had dared to hope for. 1t shows
that the people of the city are en-
inently fitted for self.government,
because they have the intelligence
to comprehend that q measure
which is strong in principle cannot
lie justified by even the most con
vincing arguments as to the mate
rial advantages which it may work
and the virtue to resist, in vindica.
ton of strong principles of gov
eminent, the most seductive ap'
petites and passions. The advo
Gates of this tax deliberately ad
dressed themselves to the wors
instincts of communism in theil
appeals to the non-property hold
ing and unemployed voters of th'
city to take advantage of their SUI
perierity in numbers and virtual,
to rob their neighbors of thu
wherewithal to support them
selves, and it must stand to tn,
lasting credit of the masses tina
they refused to listen to these ap
peals. Had the vote resulted
otherwise than it did, a fatal blow
would thereby have been inflicted
upon the credit of the city ant
State. Property-holders, alarmed
at such a serious menace to the Sc
curity of property, would hav'
FASTENED to rid themselves of sucl
perilous encumbrances and to re
move the proceeds from the con
fines of q State where, it nigh
have been said, all incentive to in
dustry and the accumulation of ga
wings is destroyed by the exposur
of property to virtual spoliatiol
through appeals to ignorant sui
frage.
No reasonable man could hav
expected or urged that influx Q
foreign capital to this State, whicl
is so essential to the development
of its material resources. Now
however, we may safely point t
the result of the recent vote as til
strongest guaranty that foreigl
capital could require that, unde
the favorable auspices of a fire
and honest government and tn
strongly manifested determination
OF the masses of the people to b
