HAS RARUs BEATEN GOIDsMITH MAIDS
TINE 1--WE are inundated with ques-
lions concerning the heat which Rai.'s
trotted in 2:l34 last Saturday at Buffalo,
and, owing to the Importance Of the sub
ject, we make one consolidated answer,
and transfer it to our editorial columns.
Section 2, Rule 80 Of the National 'Erot-
ting Association provides that in all
matches against time tho horse shall be
allowed three trials, unless expressly
stipulated to the contrary.
Tho report shows that Rarns tictted
the frat heat in 2:l7, the second in 2:oO
and after taking the word for the thi:d,
and going a. far as the turn, was puAed
ND and brought back. After short rest
he wa allowed foufth trial, which lie
trotted in 2:l34. When Rarus received
the word Ego" in the third attempt that
heat was thereby started and his volsla1
tary abandonment of it was at his own
risk: We decide that the jndges were
wrong in allowing him q fourth trial,
that lie race was finished when tho horse
was Withdrew from the thiplAeat, that

freedom at the end Of the war to the
families of those who discharge their
duties faithfully (whrthrr they sur
vive or not), together with the pr'v'-
lcyr OF residing in the South.
To this might be added Il bounty
fm faithful service. We should not
expect slaves to fight for prospective
freedom when they eau secure it at
once by going to the cntmy, in whose
service they will incur II" greater risk
than in ours. The reasons that ill.,
luee me to recommend the employ
ment Of negro troops at all render
the effect of the measures have sng.
gested upon slavery immatcrial, and
in my opinion the best means of Sc
curing tile efficiency and fidelity ofthis
auxiliary force would 10 to accompa-
ny the measure with we'll digested
plan of gradual and general emsnci.
patton. AS that will be the result Of
continuance of tho war, and will
certainly occur If the enemy succeed,
it seems to mo most advisable to
adopt it at once, and thereby obtain
all the benefits that will accrue to our
cause.
The employment of negro troops,
under regulations similar to those
indicated, would, in my opinion,
greatly increase our military strength,
and enable us to relieve our white
population to some extent. l think
We could dispense with the reserve
forces, except 10 cases of emergency.
1t would disappoiut the hopes which
our enemies have, upon our exhaus-
ton deprive them 10 great meas
ure of the aid they now derive from
black troops, and thus throw the
burden of the war upon their own
people, In addition to the great po'
]jtical advantages that would result
to our cause from the adoption OF a
system of emancipation, it would
exercise sanitary influence upon our
negro population, by rendering more
secure tho fidelity of those who be-
came soldiers, and diminishing the
inducements to the rest to abscond.
l can only say in conclusion, that
whatever measures are to be adopted,
should he adopted at once. Every

Newspaper Patronage.

There appears to be many differ
eut ways Of understanding the true
meaning Of newspaper patronage, as
it Is called, and as an interested par.
", we give place to disQuisition on
the subject by one who knows where
Of he speaks. 1t will serge, perhaps,
as a mirror where certain persons
may ace themselves as others see
them.
Many long and weary years have
forced the conviction upon US thai
newspaper patronage is word Of
many definitions, and that great
majority Of mankind are either igno.
rant of the correct definition or are
dishonest in a strict biblical sense of
the word. Newspaper patronage 10
composed Of az many colors az a
rainbow, and is as changable as a
chameleon.
One man comes in and subscribes
for paper aud pays for it 10 advance,
and goes home and reads it with the
proud satisfaction that it is his. He
hands in bis advertisement, asks the
price, pays for it, and goes to his
place of business and reaps the ad-
vantage thereof. Another man says
you may put my name on sour books,
and goes off without saying a word
about pay. Time passes on, and you
| want money, and want him to pay
you what is honestly due you. He
aes into a passion, perhaps pays, per"
haps not, and orders his paper stop
ped. This is called newspaper pat

THE LOUISIANA BARGAIN.
How the White League Adjuant'Gen
eral Got q Definite Answer
from Hayes.
IN. Y. SUM-

Washington, Aug. ia statement
is telegraphed from here to. night,
said to be on the very best authority,
which furnishes some facts regarding
Mr.. Hayes's intentions ia appointing
the Louisiana Commission. It will
he remembered that the Louisiana
delegation 10 Congress became i'm.
patient over the delay by Hayes to
carry out the bargain made by his
friends at the Wormley Conference,
in the matter Of recognizing the
Nichols Government. The Demo
Gratis in Louisiana we're getting so in,-
patient that they could with difficult
ty be restrained from useiug force to
GUST Packard. The story goes that,
when the organization of commits
sion was made known, George W.
Dupre, Adjutant-G General of the Lou
isiana White League, telegraphed as
follows to a gentleman in Washing
ton: "Go and see Hayes, and get
from him, definitely, tho mission of
the Commission" To this dispatch
an answer was sent, asking: "What
do you mean?" Dupre replied: l
want to know, by authority what, the
Commission is to accomplish" On
receipt of this, the gentleman to
whom it was sent made q visit to the
White House, and had an interview
with some one, upon which he based
the following telegram:
Geo. W. Dupre, New Orleans, La:
The Commission will be organized to
accomplish by diplomacy that which
otherwise would require force. have
authority to state this much.
The gentleman did not see Hayes
bat saw some one who spoke for him.
Dupre replied that this would not do
that he wanted by, 10 o'clock that
night information from Hayes tina,
the mission Of tho Commission would
be to establish Nichols. If such
word was not communicated the
White League proposed to take the
State House, then in possession Of
Packard. A second call was made to
the White House and this last tele
gram shown to Hayes. For twenty
| minutes Hayes made no Indication o.
! what response he would make. Thu
gentleman who called invited Hayes'(
| attention to 'the fact that it was :}et
9 o'clock, and that Dupre signed him
self Adjutent- General Of the Whit'
League. Exectly what Hayes said il

Meeting Of the Republican state Gem
tral Committee.
| IN. O. Democrat /


The Republican State Central Commit
tee will meet at Turner'S Hall at -
o'clock to-day.
Contrary to expectation tho country
will DO fairly represented there being
between forty and fifty delegates from
the country parishes already in the city.
The meeting will DO Il stormy on" an"
will 10 held. with closed dools.~-.. -~.
There are several matters of interest
to be considered, and among the most
important questions to DO decided are:
I. What stand as regards nominations
will the party take in tho coming call-
paign j; and
2. How shall the independent move;
ment of the colored men he stopped. and
the organization broken up.
As to the first question, there can DO
no doubt that If any decision is reached
at all, it will be to
CONTEST EACH ONE OF TIE >CoNtHEs-

and if an acceptable man is pnt mp by
some Of the sorehead factions OF the
Democratic party, against Major L. A.
Burke, the Democratic nominee for State
Treasurer, to support him. e.
Tn this connection it may he stated
that N. o. :Kennison is spoken OF "a a
probable candidate against Major Burke,
and that while the Republicans do not
propose to nominate him Cor any otler
mani themselves they look for his non'i-
nation by the Nationals or some other
faction, and if he is nominated the lead
ers will urge their follows to vote tor
him. 49,. i.>..-
As to the congressional districts, Tom
Anderson is figuring for the nomination
from the Sixth, and will probably get
it; Albert Leonard, the present United
States DISTRICT Attorney, will undoub ted.
IL be nominated in the Fourth, and in
the Third Judge Taylor }Bsattie will bu
Endorsed and supported. unless Darrall
succeeds in convincing the leaders in the
district that he is the stronger man, aud
thus secures a. nomination.
The second question, regarding the.
independent movement, is the one which
will staft tho disturbance in the meet
ing. The grievances and complaints Of
