THE KELLOGG CASE.
I'm. Y. Nation ,June 2g I


The subject Of Mr.. Whitthornes recent let
ter appeals powerfully for examination to all
upright and conscientious men at the North
and particularly to those whose interest In
the negroes condition Is leading them to gee
ond the efforts Of unprincipled politicians in
keeping alive the flames OF civil discord. We
must remind them that the evidence of the
thousands Of murders and "outrages,', by
which their Indignation has been stirred dur
Ing the past four or five years, has been In
the main furnished by the kind OF Witnesses
who testified q few days ago before the COM
mtttee in the Spofford-Ke Kellogg case. 1t has
been almost invariably gentlemen like
the grandson OF 'Sir Hugh de Lacey"
OF ireland, who bring In the stories
OF long rows OF colored people hanging on
the trees by the roadside, and of the infants
thrown into the flames by the red-shirt bay
onets, and Of the aged colored clergymen
shot on their knees ut family prayers. When
perjurers OF this class are rewarded for their
bloody particulars" by places in the Gus
tom-House it is not wonderful that the
stream Of horrors Is SO strong and fun and
permanent, and that they actually come into
court and confess their mendacity with O.
broad grin. The bit OF casuistry furnished
by one OF them, that he chad as much right
to perjure himself as the Democrats to burn
his house, we fear was suggested to him BY
some OF his white friends at the North in
1876, who maintained calamity that the Dem
ocrattc outrages In the country districts JUS

HER LITTLE GAME.
She Played it Well, But Was Tripped

She Played 1t Well, But Was Trippel
up at Last.
A negro woman named Maria Walker, a
servant in the employ of Mrs, John Deeves
was arrested yesterday by Aid Caster and
lodged In the Central Station, charged with
forgery.
1t appears that the woman has been raising
small sums OF money by notes, Of which the
following Is sample:
"lfr. Wetsh-Please ohlge me by leniing
me fifty cents until ma comes home.
e. DERIVES"
She would carry these notes to different
parties who were acquainted with her EN-
ployers, present them and get the money.
She was successful in her operations until
she presented the note To Mr.. Welsh, who ill.,
vestigated the matter, and finding Marie was
an impostor, reported the facts to headquar-
tiers and her arrest followed.

Investigation.
The Cooperative Association OF Mutual As
sistance OF the Dairymen OF New Orleans,
/ through their committee, addressed yester-
day the following letter Of appeal to the Board
of Health:
New ORLEANS, July 5. 1879,
DIR. s, Chopin. President Board OF Health:
The undersigned committee are appointed
by the Cooperative Association OF Mutual
Assistance OF the Dairymen OF New Orleans
To call upon the Board OF Health with refer
ence 10 d report made by the committee of the
Medical and Surgical Association on the SUBJ
ject matter OF the diaries.
That report does not go into particulars,
and gives no names OF such dairymen whose
establishments are charged to be absolute
nuisances. 1T states In general terms: THE
committee, after visiting the several diaries
throughout the city, represent their condition,
with the exception OF rare instances, as filthy
lii the extreme; the animals themselves, the
water used for drinking purposes by the
cows FLOR diluting the milk and the milk
The report concludes with the suggestion
that dairtes and cOw-stables be removed from
the thickly -populated city limits, and that
stronger laws be enacted to prevent and
abate the nuisanees indicated.
Whether that committee examined all the
tlairies In the city Is more than problemati-
cal: but their report is certainly failure in
one respect; it does not specify the obnoxious
diaries. As a consequence, the criticism is
sweeping in its terms; that no one Is at lib
ertg to take for himself the condemnation.
We now, representing an association hav-
ing two hundred and ten members, appeal to
the Board of Health to take the matter In
hand, and to have thorough and exhaustive
examination of the dairies. What we want
Is q full report with particulars, and not
sweeping charges pointing to no one. Wher-
ever q dairy is a nuisance, let the Board OF
Health, after an investigation, make publi-
cation, stating the name OF the dairyman
and giving full particulars of the nuisance
charged to him.
And then the Board OF Health can act In the
premises with the cooperation of the city a,l-
Ihorities. There Is abundant power Of repres.
sion under existing laws and ordinances; aud
We do not subscribe to the legal opinions of
the Medical and Surgical Association.
Very respectfully, your ob't sev'ts.
