Washington Scandals.

WAsHINGToN, April 4th.-The scandal
epidemic appears not to have ended As the
following extraordinary paragraph publish>
ed in an Eastern paper will show:
"Ihis time scandal has struck the White
House. Charles Chapman, one of the Ex-
ecutive clerks, has been dismissed for undue
familiarity with young girls who went to
the Executive Mansion III quest OF Govern
ment appointments. 1t is alleged that by
pretending he could influence appointments
he ruined several Of the females seekers for
a place When his conduct became known
to President Hayes, the latter promptly dis
charged Chapman. The immediate cause
of his removal involved q member of Con-
gress from OhiJ, who ii seems, was a sort of
partner of Chapman in the disreputable
business"
The scandals connected with Southern
Senators or their families seem destined to
never end. Lucy Horton, who charges the
son of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, with
having seduced her, and who recently made
an assault upon him here with intent to
take his life, this morning publishes the
following card:
SIR am told the one obstacle in nay
way of obtaining employment in the depart
ments IS that it would be an almost unpre-
cedented case Of the Government giving
employment to a person under indictment.
Mr.. Morgan is also under Indictment at
Selma, Ala. ; besides he has killed man,
and he has responsible position under the
Government. Lucy HORTON

The Colored Riots in st. Johns Par
ism, Loui4iaIa.

Extract from Picayune's Report.
Col. John \. Stevenson. acting as the
spokesman for the planters, made very
sensible address, which, if the strikers had
been so disposed, would have opened the
way for a compromise. But the negroes,
led on by the men before mentioned, were
in no humor to think of compromise, and
at the outset proclaimed a utimatum-a
dollar day or Kansas. 1t was in vain that
the planters tried to reason with them, or to
show them how useless it was to think of
going to Kansas without money or provis-
ions
The patience of Col. Stevenson and his
associates entirely gave way when Fox
made a most iuceudiary speech, during
which he said that when the United States
Government saw the fields going to waste,
because of the strike, it would take them
away from the planters and parcel them out
among the strikers The cheers that greeted
this assertion showed how freely the guilt
bic blacks believed it. In fact it is the
writer's belief they would swallow ANYTHING
as gospel truth that the leaders would tell
them, and some facts will be given to show
this belief has good foundation. From this
point Fox and colleagues went on with the
widest declaration. They posed rs martyrs
and said if any outrdges had been commit
ted, they We're reau0Asl1le, and wished 10
suffer whatever punishment the Jaw might
lntict. Later III tbs day. finding the tenn
per of the negroes growing worse, it was de
termined to take some decisive steps. and
accordingly 4 number of affidavits were
sworn out against those who had been most
,,rop, ;:"@'s IL committing outrages. The
most serious charge reIa1r,. - me whipping
OF two negroes on Mr.. Bradish Johnson )
place, and the arrests were made upon the
affidavit of Mr. Holloway.
