The Masquerade Ball.

This ball given by the young gentle
men of Monroe Tuesday evening, was
unquestionabiy the best of the season
and surpassed anything of the kind
ever witnessed in Monroe. Preparations
were made in ample time, good music
procured and the weather was excep-
tionably favorable. The attendence
was large and costumes, erich, rare
racy' were in abundance. Orphans
sweet that challenged your charity |
and protecting care, were there, queens,
princesses, ,couutesses andvis-countesses
were represented. The aboriginees,
who many years ago traversed this
4 country in its primeval state and
danced around council fires in times OF
peace and war, had their representa-
tive, too, and right loyal did lovely
pochahontas do it. King Cotton for
once DOTTED his royal diadem, and the
crown was worn, and the fieecy staple
, represented, gracefully, by a queen.

HOWARD AND WEST POINT.

The enemies of West Point may re-
joice over the assignment of Gen. O.
o. Howard to that institution, called
q military department In order to pro-
videa command for an overstock Of
Generals. With supply of Whit.
takers, such as he will be likely to get
after the Republican majority in the
next House manufactures a number OF
colored members by unseating white
representatives from the Southern
States, he can soon reconstruct West
versity," near Washington.
Gen. Howard bought the land for
that so-called university, modestly
named after himself, and had the
buildings erected, out of money ille-
gally and corruptly diverted from the
Freedmen's Bureau, of which he was
then Commissioner. 1t was a swindle
in every part, as was abundantly
proven before committee of the
House in the Forty-first Congress, in
spite of the efforts of whitewashfng
Republican majority to suppress tes-
timony, and to distort evidence ac-
tualiy given.
An organized ring of thieving phil
anthropists and politicians, whose
whole capital was pretended friendship
Tor the coiored man, not only stole the
black soldiers bounty land and money
through the Freedmen's Bureau, but
they robbed and ruined the Freed
mans Bank, in which the hard
savings of thousands of confiding black
men, women, and children were de-
posted. These people were cheated
with Howard's professions and promi-
ses. They had too much faith in his
% nt about their race
This band of thieves traded upon re-
ligion, philanthropy, and humanity,
and assumed the special guardianship
of the colored people. In the days OF
reconstruction they may be said to
have shaped all the political legisla-
ton relating to the negro. Enormous
appropriations in money were made
for the Freedmen's Bureau, for sala-
