PARTING WITH A Splendid OF
FICER.

"Tara's Halls at the Granite Build
ing were deserted this morning, the
Great Manitou" being absent on his
plantation.
The sensation of the day was the
arrival of General Algernon Sidney
Badger, who relieved Col. Calvin H.
Moore as Special Deputy Collector.
He brings to the Office large ex-
perience to fit him as the successor Of
Col. Moore, whose severance from
public duties is source of regret not
only to all his subordinates, but to
all who have been thrown into official
connection with him. No more faith
full, competent or courteous officer
could be found than Col. Moore.
Throughout his career as Special
Deputy Surveyor. Chief Clerk and
Special Deputy Collector, his course
has been such that the Item, always
critical, has had nothing but praise to
accord. Col. Moore is a successful
planter of Richland parish, and has
made fine crop this year.
Altogether it is simply impossible
to CLEAN any information of value con.
corning appointments. 1t is said that
there is an Inner ring" considering
this question, but that no conclusions
have been arrived at.

Georgian Binion, an industrious
colored woman, was placed in jail
here on Thursday, charged with hay
;nn noisoned John Russell, colored'
who died near here over one year
AGO. The woman was living with
John Russell. He was taken sud-
denly sick and she went to neigh
boris for assistance, and on their re-
turn he was dead. 1t turns out now
that one of the children makes an
affidavit against her and expects to
prove bv another that she poisoned
John Russell. We are informed that
the evidence before the Coroner IN
quest is different. 1t seems to us as
a piece of persecution. The boy
should be the one prosecuted 1or

A NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE.

1t is to be regretted that when the
white people of the country are dis
cussing in a serious and sober way the
problems that have arisen between
the Caucasian and black races that
the negroes should undertake the
formation Of a national league to
secure what they claim to be their
rights.
But such is unquestionably the
case. Several Northern negroes, not
appreciating the conditions that pre-
vail in the agricultural sections OF
the South, have recently organized IA
national league of the blacks. The
establishment of such an organization
BODIES no good to the negro. That he
will remain in utter and complete
subsection to the whites in every
locality where the blacks predominate,
or where they are in II minority, is a
fact that cannot be gainsaid- The
Caucasian will never again submit to
the domination Of negro ignorance
and debaucherv.
But there are many thinking white
lien in the south who recognize the
race issue as serious problem, to be
solved only by the wise counsel and
Judgment of the best men in the
South. They know that the present
disturbed condition cannot last. They
recognize that something must be
done, but they are fully confident
that what is done must be accom-
plished by white men. To the intel
igence and patriotism Of the superior
race must be left the solution of the
negro problem, and if it is ever solved
it will be by white men.
The establishment of a negro league
is another fagot placed upon the
already burning heap. Good men
regret it because it retards honest
efforts to come to satisfactory con-
clusion as to what must be done with
the negro. Race prejudice will be
made stronger by the formation Of q
national league Of negroes, and the
whites will be in no humor to lister
to any suggestion Of thinking men III
the direction OF solving the race
issue.
The negro league would be at once
followed by a white league, if the
Caucasian did not feel that he wa
already so strongly intrenched thai
nothing can dislodge him from hi
present position Of supremacy. TIT
negro leaders have done the rae,
harm rather than good by their lates
move.

Shreveport, Caucasian.
The CITY Item has a highly compli-
mentary and richly deserved COM
mentary upon the life, civic and mill
tary, of Hon. B. F. Jonas, on the &C.,
casion of his surrender of the Office
collector osthe port of New Orleans.
Without going into a specification OF
his eminent services to the State, it
mentions the fact that daring his
term of office he reduced .ihe cost Of
collecting the revenuy from Is per
cent to 8 1-2 per cent, and "this
record stands to his credit on the
books of the treasury department"
The Item alssPrints an extract from
letter written by associate Justice
Fenner, formerly captain in the
Army OF Tennessee, to the historical
committee of that association, wherein
th/services of Frank Jonas are re,
serred to in the highest terms o.
praise. Though at the commence
ment of the war, when he was q
years of age, he had already won high
distinction as a lawyer and an orator
he with rare self-denial and modesty
refused to accept any military rank
or title, but preferred to discharge
the duties of privat esoldier, which
he faithfully did. Judge Fennel
thus closes his letter:
40 such a man tie war opened ever.
avenue of promotion, civic or military. Blu
selfish ambition had no part in the devotion
which he gave to the Confederate cause
Simply and quietly he took his place in tn
ranks, shoulder to shoulder with the humbles
of his country men, cou,en, 10 do his part il
bearing the burdens Of the fray, leaving t
others its honors and rewards. He did hi
duty there as he did it in every position I

rstly, unfalieringy. All bouors to him as a

a MISSOURI MURDER.
FRANCIS ]. BOWMAN SHOT DOWN IN
COLD BLOOD BY HIS FORMER
PARTNER.

PARTNER.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2l.-Francis j.
Bowman, the well-known lawyer who
has figured in 50 many matrimonial
troubles here and i, Chlca 20, was snot
and instantly killed by L. NJ. Cham
bers this evening at Ferguson, Nc.
The killing grew out of the trouble
between the parties over the old
Times newspaper. Chambers was a
large stock holder and principal owner
of the paper up to the time of its
demise. Bowman was also financially
interested in it. He bought, among
other things, the Associated Press
franchise of the paper and has been
in litigation over the matter with
Chambers ever since.
This evening Bowman, accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff Garrett, Of
st. Louis county, called at Mr.. Cham
bers' home, in Ferguson, Mo-, about
eighteen miles west of st. Louis. His
purpose was to levy an attachment on
Chambers life interest in his wife's
estate, or whatever other property he
might be able to find. Chambers met
Bowman and Garrett at the gate.
Bowman said: II have come to levy
on your property"
"All right" responded Mr.. Cham
bers, and he entered the house.
Deputy Sheriff Garrett afterwart
explained that he thought Mr.. Cham
bers had gone in to get some papers
He was mistaken, for in a few min
utes Chambers stepped out into tn
yard with double barreled shotgun
in his hands.
Garrett, you get out of this plac'
and get out quick" he said.
Garrett walked away.
"Now Bowman I'll give YOU thre
minutes to get out of these grounds,
continued Mr.. Chambers.
Bowman did not move and in al
instant Chambers raised his gun ant
poured the load into Bowman's heart
The men were close together and tn
full load took effect in the chest, an,
Bowman fell dead.
Chambers coolly walked into tn
house and at 4:30 p, m. he was still
there, awaiting arrest, while Bowman
body lay in pool of blood in tn
yard. Nobody venturing to touch il
as the coroner had not yet arrived
A large crowd surrounded the plac

this question we will state that we
