THE WAR OPENED.

Rectangular Fight for the Custem-
House-'Tte Innocent ~ Cause of the
war takes Hand.
The rectangular fight between the Radicals for
positions where they oan secure Federal pap has
now assumed gigantic proportions, and promises
before the little war IL ended to uncover half of
the rascality of the crowd for the past
four years. Everything oenters now upon
THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
and The squabbe for the possession of that build
ing Ia just immense. First, there are three or
four white factions who claim it and are fighting
each other, and now, as the DEMOCRAT antiei-
pated, the negro element has risen up in its
mighty force and threatens to snnihilate their
white brethren unless they deal out to them the
lions share of the fat places
STAMPS, or cAnBoILroF,

self, with other of hi, ebony hued followers, TO
Washington to 'lsy de case 70 de Presiden," ne
one of his friends informed our reporter, he
leaving on Saturday, and being followed on Sun
day by Lew Kenner and Dumont.
It is stated in Custom. House circles that
should the Collector get his back up, he might
appoint colored Republicans from the country
parishes to positions, and thereby give the col.
ored element oil the representation
DUE THAT RACE,
and in that event Stamps and his followers
would be left out In the cold.
II is known that this element has been organic
ing "Unions" and societies to accomplish their
designs and bulldoze the Collector and others,
but II doesn't seem yet that the unions have had
much weight.
In conversation with n prominent eolored Re-
publican politician on this subject Monday MORN
ing, when asked for his views by DEMOCRAT re-
porter, the p O. r. stated that in his opinion his
brethren had better organize unions to keep

for stealing school funds for said he .'if you nil
ever get to the bottom history Of that business,
you'll make many OF them 30 sick that they will
leave the State"
The Collector doesn't seem much worried over
the threats they make TO defeat his confirmation,
and Wells says he is not at all Attained about
MCMILLAN getting the appointment of Surveyor OF
the Port.
Pitkin Ia somewhat surprised to learn, rs
stated by contemporary, that he has
GONE 70 WASHINGTON,
and says that In order to mako things consistent
he ought to pack up and start.
Jack Whartons presence in Washington alarms
him considerably, but he laughs at the idea that
Jack means to

and thinks that he is still serene in the possess
sion OF the United States Marshal's commission
and has received no further requests from the
President to resign that commission, although
he 10 not sure but he may receive one soon.

An Absurd Claim.

Our special notices show that meeting of
Capt. Bounys company, the Roman Rifles, is for
this evening. It seems that one member Of the
company, Mr.. Benito Solarche (the only one as
we hear), has instituted suit before the Sixth
District Court for SAG, in claim Of services rem
dered as deputy sheriff while keeping guard at
unplessantness. The object Of the meeting OF
Capt. Bouny's company is to censure the action
of this man, and give evidence that the feeling
Of the company is entirely opposed to such alb
surd and unpa triotic claims.

Knife to His Aid.
At half-past II o'clock ON Sunday night, on
Vallette street. Algiers, Aleck Meyers q negro,
received dangerous knife stab in the back, in
the region of the spine-the murderous instru-
ment being in the hands of negro named
March Holman.
This bloody ARRAY WAS all about a woman, who
was the paramour OF Holman and who had de-
serted him and gone to reside with Meyers.
Holman repaired to the house OF this woman on
Vahette street, Sunday night at the hour above
stated and broke open the door, and finding
Meyers in conversation with her, asked him what
he was dung.
Meyers hardly had time to reply, when Holman
rushed upon him, knocked him down and stabbed
him. The accused, after committing the deed,
attempted to make his escape, but was captured
and locked up in the Eighth Station-house.
The wounded man was attended by physician
who pronounced his wound very dangerous, if
not fatal.

From the telegraphic reports 1t seems that the

Before Dula made his

He stated also at the time that he believed the
postmaster in possession wanted to keep him out
and resorted to the intimidating dodge 20 do so.
At the same time, he stated that propositions
had been made to him, that II he would permit
the old incumbent TO retain possession. he,
