DEATH Of CAPT. CosGEovE.-From
the daily lntelligencer of the 18th
inst: The saying that Sin the midst
of life, we are in DEATH" is exempli-
fed by the decease of this old resi- :
dent, so well known all over the
Sound since 1858. Yesterday morn
ing he was in the flush of vigorous
manhood; in a few hours hence, the
bells will toll for the last handful of
earth over him. About IL o'clock
yesterday morning he went up to the
house of Mr.. Woodward, the black
smith Of the BIakely Mills, carrying
IA big bunch of bananas. Reaching
the house, he proceeded to hang
them up on the ceiling to ripen,
which he accomplished by standing
on chair. Being large and heavy
man, he overbalanced the chair and
fell heavily to the floor, striking his
temple against sharp corner. He
was laid upon bed, and muttered
feebIy, "Hurry, get up steam" and
other remarks indicating delirium.
About then minutes later he mur-
mured, 81 am going" and instantly
his soul went out with the tide. Capt.
Cosgrove was born in 1881, at Bos.
ton, Of Irish parents, and had fol,
lowed the water all his life.

There IA n question that frequently comes
up for discussion among citizens of LafOurche,
that is assuming such proportions that it can
not be ignored much longer with safety.
That question is the incurable and horrible
one OF leprosy. Some twenty years ago. as
our information ruIs, q person attacked with
this disease settled on the lower portion OF
Bayou Lafonrche, which has spread among
the people until now there are Thought TO be
very nearly II not fifty lcpers In Lafourche.
This horrible disease has been one OF the
pests that have afflicted mankind from time
immemorial, but which has never been pre-
vaent enough in any one portion OF the
United States to excite any serious appehen-
sion5. But at this moment it Is beginning to
become a serious matter to the residents III
this part Of the State.
Our Representatives to the Legislature
should bring this question up before that
body at its next session, in order to have an
Investigations and ii found necessary for fu-
ture safety to inaugurate steps to eradicate
that disease entirely from the parish and the
State There was said to be one case In TINS
town but the yellow fever has etfectually
banished that from our presence.

BLUNT MIsTAKE.
The Failure of His Attempt to BiuT the
white Cilizens Of Natchit0ches.

lNatchitochea N1ndlcatOr.I
Gov Nichols put Mr. George l.. Smith
and his visiting party, who called upon his
FxepIlency in relation to the "Natchitoches
riot" in the mime hole rs the saying goes.
Our worthy Governor wants to know why
the Republicans called the negroes in mass
meeting on the same day ana at the same
place the Democrats had long before adver-
tised for" OF course George l.. didn't know,
aud when Gov Nichols suggested it was
done to Invite the issue OF which they com
planned Of course Smith and his committee
were crowded down. Here. then. is the point
which Blunt was lodging all the time.
His whole effort is to belittle the
meeting he had called into simple ward
gathering" brought together for the purpose
Of eIecting " ward managers Blunt may be
n "God fearing man, but in politics and war
he makes a track as "bg as y mackal'aw
blanket" Now the Vindicnior knows when,
how and who called this ward Radical meet
ing. Blunt called together his gang, little
after sunset on September II, at an Office on
Church street In this CITY, and then consum-.
mated his plan to "bluff the Democrats OF
Natchitoche5.' He was advised by Republl-
cans and we can face him with the
men if he desires, not to call the meet
ing for the day and for the purpose. He
was told by them it would result lust as
it did result; and his henchman Raby, pub
tcly stated, not four days before the riot, that
'.the whites had better keep to their homes
and not go night hawking around. Raby
admits this, or did admit 1t after his capture,
but insisted he was ''in fun.
The result Of the election in this parish
shows what prompted Blunt. The thousand
colored men who voted the stra ght Demo
cratic ticket had TO be got back into line
They were gone. and gone forever into the
Democratic fold unless the race war, thu
bloody shirt and incendiarism could be rem.
auglrated Honest local government, honest
State government had stamped out the
BlInta here, unless no could bluff thu
whites and he made the effort with the re
suit he now bewailS.

Kellogg is no doubt right. The nerve OF

alarm the people and make them believe that
they are svady to range themselves under
the banner of Radicalisn, however stained

protection to their riches, and offers u ''strong
government" that shall rule the refractory

from our enemies. If the next session Of Con
gress is marked by wisdom, and if the people

extracted from the mistakes OF the President
and his evil advisers Out of what appears
to be the nettle danger may be plucked the

matters. the attendance at the perfor.
nance given by Mr.. John Mcguire At
Yesler's Hall Saturday evening, for the
benefit of the yellow fever sufferers of
the South, was not as well pstronized
as either the performance or the object
deserved. All who attended seemed
well pleased with the performance
After settling the bills we are informed
that there will be about twenty dollars
left, which Mr.. Levy states lie will
turn over to any committee Of ladies or
Others who may 60 forward with the
good work OF raising a sum of money in
proportion to our means to send to
those poor. suffering helpless. starving
people, who are dropping of by the
hundreds every day for the want of the
necessary medicines, nurses. care, pro-
visions and clothes. A committee went
around Portland canvsssing for contri.
buttons for this humane cause, and
their noble efforts were crowned with
the large and generous sum of four
thousand dollars, which will immedi-
ately be forwarded to assist in sileviat-
ing the heartrending suffering gong
on continually from the ravsges of this
terrible disease. Let some of our noble
hearted ladies take the inistory steps
in the good work in this city. and do
not let our citizens suffer the humilis.
ton of neglecting to help their suffering
fellow men. when appealed to in tho
strongest possible manner.
