An Evil that Demands a Remedy.

An Evil that Demands Remedy.
1t Is daily becoming more evident that
something must be done to rid this COM
munity of the crowds of idle, worthless,
loafiug negroes which invest it. There
are hundreds and. perhaps, thousands OF
them. The most of them are young ne
grOes who make no pretense Of
earning a living. They sleep the better
part Of the day, and gamble, steal ana
commit various other Ofenses al night.
The holder ones do not cOnhne themselves
10 minor crimes. but assault, rob and
even murder peaceable citizens. There Is
a great deal Of indignation among the
better classes Of our people on ac-
count Of the outrages which have been
recently committed, and, in fact
which are all abe While
being committed. \ good many
small Offenses of one kind and another,
which are brought TO the attention Of the
Mayor. are unknown TO the general pub
lie. How these worthless negroes
Migrants the law calls them-are TO be
reached and dealt with as they deserve, Is
a problem that is not easy to solve. The
Mayor. and in fact all the authorities,
seem ready and willing to do
all they can to enforce the laws, but 1t
appears that the Migrants have friends
who are ever on the alert to help them
evade the law. Negroes who are arrested
for crimes Of which they are clearly guilty
have no difficulty in finding bOndsmen.
Keepers Of low grOg-shOps about the
CITY and in the suburbs
who get all the money these
worthless negroes have come to their re-
lief whenever they are in trouble. Once
out on bail they manage to hunt up false
testimony enough to get clear when they
are tried. The names Of all bondsmen
who help these vagrant negroes to escape
the law ought to be published, in order
that the people may know who help TO
sustain this troublesome criminal ele-
ment in the community of which
there is so much complaint.
There is no doubt that the Mayor viii be
sustained in whatever measures he may
take to suppress this rapidly growing
criminal class-growing not only here,
but in about every other Southern city.
1t is growing because it is being con-
stantly recruited from among the
half-grown negro boys. If the
ordinary police force is not sufficient to
make arrests and collect testimony sufi-
cient to secure convictions, let private
detectives be employed. Now is as good
time as any to attack this evil. When the
attack is made it ought to be made vigor-
ously. in order to insure its success. If
we submit to the present con-
ditiOn of affairs the time is not far
distant when the class Of negroes of
which we are speaking will practically
have control Of the community. That
state of affairs will exist, or else the peo-
pie will take the law into their own bands.
Already we have received cOmmunica-
ti0ns from the suburbs Of the city, con-
tanning suggestions of vigilant commit
tees. Of course there is no sentiment
in this community now which would
countenance any such suggestions,
and we hope there never may be. The
best way to prevent such a sentiment
however. is to remove all cause for it.

A sham Battle in New Jersey

4 very senseless performance took
place at Camp Olden, Princeton Junction,
New Jersey, last Wednesday. A portion
of the Grand Army of the Republic was
encamped there for the day and it was
concluded to end the festivities with a
sham battle. At o'clock in the after
noon the troops were divided into two
divisions. One represented the Union
forces and the other the Confederate. The
account says that
THE Union detachment. commanded by
Commander Cole Of Post 3, consisting of
three cannon detachments and fifty men,
were posted on the hillside near the Mill
stone river. They lay under arms for
long time while the Confederate forces
were forming for the attack. The attack
Ing party. under the command of Colonel
Cooper. OF the Sixth Regiment, was di-
yided nto four battaliOns, and used five
cannon. Finally the COnfederates adj
vanced In battle lines. firing continuously.
Bombs were exploded over their heads from
the Union side. One Confederate battalion
charged across the field, and was met by
a skirmish line Of Union soldiers. who
made it retreat on the dOuble-quick. AS
the other Confederate assailants pressed
up the hill they came in contact with the
main body Of the Union army.
.-Thenring became general. Bombs were
shot necessarily from both sides. In many
instances men ran into opposing lines, and
were thrown down, contrary 10 lnstruc-
lions. The resisting party refused TO sur
render. COnfederates tried to capture
Union cannon by jumping upon the pieces,
preventing their discharge, or by throw
ing down the gunners, who got up and
caught their assailants around the neck,
There was intense excitement among the
1000 spectators who fringed the plateau.
The guns of the soldiers were thrown
about like fails.
In the height of the confusion soldier
pulled off his jacket. exposing to his
comrades a white shirt covered with
blood. Col. Cooper saw it, and rOared to
his command to throw down their arms.
He was abeyed. In the melee twelve
men had been hit with the waddinS Of
blank cartridges; they were nearly all
lying Oh the ground. Stretchers were
sent for. and the wounded were removed
to Brigadier Surgeon Gauntts tent. The
commands returned in bedraggled con-
ditiOn. Many men were hardly able to
carry their muskets,"
Most of the men who were hit were
hurt pretty badly. 1t is hardly probable
that any of their wounds will prove fatal.
but they were hurt bad enough to keep
them away from their regular duties a
good long while. Prize drills are interest
ing and cOmmendabie. bgt nothing can
be said in support of sham battles. In
thie New jersey sham battle it looks as II
the men Oh both sides became as excited
as if they were iE real battle. The Con-
federate forces refused 10 be driven back
by the Union cannon.

who was reused to a high pitch OF indig-
nation by the fellows presumption, and
who proposed to 90 TO the appointed tryst-
ing place herself. She was on time, clothed
in her daughters dress and veil. A fash
Ionably dressed young man was there be-
fore her. He was leaning against the
fence, and occasionally looking down the
street as if expecting somebody. Without
wasting any time on preiiminaries, the
fond mother seized the young man in an
unrelenting clutch, and lashed him mer-
cilessly with a "Dlack snake" whip which
she drew from the folds Of her dress.
What might have happened had police
man not arrived cannot be guessed. Elk
plantations followed, and it was soon made
plain that the mother had terribly whipped

paused for a moment to wait for a friend

before the whipping was over, but wisely
disappeared before the situation was clear

The recommendation of the grand jury
of New Orleans that crematory be
established in that city, at public eE,
pense, to burn the bodies Of those who die
of contagious or infectious diseases, is
attracting considerable attention through
out the country. not only because it is the
first instance in which cremation has
been officially approved, bit also because
its sanitary advantages are recognized
The New York Herald, with reference to
cremation in the Crescent City, says:
..The soil in and about New Orleans is
water soaked at very short distance be
low the surface. For this reason, of late
years. the number OF interments above
ground has been multiplying rapidly.
The cemeteries on the outskirts of the city
are full of gigantic tOmbs, in which dead
bodies are sealed up, each in separate
receptacle, constructed with likeness to
the partitions in a military cartridge box.
No visitor can fail TO perceive an
effiuvium from them at any season OF the
year. even in the coolest weather. 1t is
practically impossible TO seal such re-
eeptacies so az 10 be permanently airs
tight. We deem it by no means improb-
able that if the partial recommendation
of the grand jury is successfully carried
out a general system Of cremation may
come into favor in New Orleans on slni-
tary considerations, and that any and all
burials within the city limits will be pro-
hibited by law. The argument IN behalf of
such a public ordinance is stronger there
than in any other large city III the United
Sfates,'
ia cremstory is established in New
Orleans for the disposal of the remains Of
persons who die Of yellow fever and other
infectious or contagious diseases il l.
not improbable that other cities subject
TO yellow fever will establish an institu.
ton OF that kind. If there is anything in
the experiments Of the celebrated Brazil
ian physician, accounts OF which were
published month or more ago, the bodies
Of yellow fever patients ought to be
burned. According to those experiments
the yellOyS fever poison in the earth about
the graves of those who died of the fever
is virulent enough to destroy life year
or more after the buriais.
