matter hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests. to wit:
1. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run sufficient
time to wash away rubbish filth. etc. and to
render the street cutters fr0sh and clean. THIS
step becomes necessary as many Of the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river. are
without water plugs, and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced In flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water
2. Residents will please place. or instruct

John Sherman testified before the Potter
committee that, had he been residing in
Louisiana in 1876 he would most likely have
been killed, as he should most certainly
have resisted the rifle clubs, who, in add-
tiOn TO their other crimes, drove the negroes
from their homes TO the swamps." Where
upon the Chicago Times sententlously OBJ
serves:
1t is really amazing that person like
Sherman, who isn't ordinarily an Internal
fool, tan be persuaded TO make so idiotic an
exhibition Of himself on provocation SO slight.
There were great many Republicans In
louisiana al the time of the last election, who
were probably the equals Of the Secretary of
the Treasury In courage and manliness. They
rertafaly did oppose and denOunce the Dem
bUiats and the rifle clubs without reserve;
Atd bheg were not killed. On the contrary,
most Of them are, like Mr.. Sherman, still
living and fattcning In good Federal Offices
His assumption that he would have exeeled
them all In bravery, and consequently incur
red greater danger than they, is worse than
childish eEutism.

The New York Herald, speaking of the EVIL

IN this city, says that
The testimpnyof q man like Gov. Wickliffe

point Mr.. WiCkliffe Is man incapable of
falHehood and whose word, where, as In this
case, he speaks from actual knowledge, will
not be doubted.
The Herald then proceeds to denounce Kel-
loRg for The spiriting away Of Kelley, who
forged the names Of several of the Louisiana
elegt0rH to the returns, and urges upon Mr..
Potter 10 secure Kelly's presence at any cost.

always shows which way the wind is blow
