of Marat. As first one and then the
1 other of these Jacobins of France held
the convention and public functiona

weak House of Representatives.* Such
is the power of his will, and so reso
lute his purpose, that lie carries the
members with him against their own
judgment. Without the guillotine to
1 back him, as‘Danton and Marat had,
n0 ,,n about six o’clock which all re-
„ rct hut which could not have been
avoided. From what we can learn
from witnesses, both white and black,
it seems that two young men were go-
in" down Broad street, when directly
opposite the store of A. Crane &' Co.,
a few doors below the burnt district on
Broad street, they were met by a
negro soldier, who to all appearances
purposely ran against one of them.
The gentleman remarked, “ you had
better run over me,” or words to that
effect, wlwn the negro commenced
cursing him most -bitterly, for a “son
of a bitch,” a “ rascal,” and using the [he is equally powerful, dogmatic and
most insulting language. The gentle- dictatorial, and the frightened members

gro asserted he had put hundreds like , thoriiies in Paris to those men. In

shot him three times. The negro with humanity will shudder at through all
pis bayonet in his hand and still curs
ing tottered to the shanties on the cor
ner. He was carried 'to the barracks
and, we are informed, died in a few
minutes.
Tiie gentleman, who fired the shot,
is alleged to be Mr. Cooper Lindsay,
one of our best and bravest young
, m n. lie fearing the vengeance of the
troops, fled, pursued by a squad of the
negro soldiers, one of whom fired at
him at G mby’s corner. This negro
was arrested and carried by the civil
authorin'-s to the guard house, but was
afterwards conducted to the barracks
by Mayor Wilkins. Mr. L. escaped,
and so did the gentleman who was
with him, said to be Mr. Hub Ruther
ford. Two negro soldiers came to the
.scene of shooting with muskets, curs—
dig furiously, but were ordered back
by officers. They obeyed, but went
back in the same style, and one tried
to strike a white man \yitk a musket,
but was prevented.
A collision between the whites and
•blacks at one time was greatly feared,
as there was much excitement. T/ie
officers,- however, ordered ali the col
ored troops to the barracks. The offi-
-oois used their best endeavors to avoid
all difficulty, and promised that chi
rms should be unmolested.
A gentleman, Mr. Sol. Crew, while
w a I King alorig quietly at Duran’s cor
ner after the shooting, was knocked
■down by a musket in the hands of a
negro soldier. Afterwards several shots
were iiied irom the barracks in B ink’s
building.
In the excitement, Mr. B. L dbelter,
while in the crowd, was accide-Ua ly

Radical policy in their reports, and
that the soldiers are indignant at the
efforts made for immediate, universal,
and unconditional negro suffrage. The
result will be the^organization of a new
conservative party that will annihilate
the Republicans as they annihilated
the Democrats. The only military
men who endorse Sumner and Stevens
in their crusade against the President
are Ben Butler and Carl Schurz. These
are all the soldiers, if they may be
called soldiers, that the Republicans
now retain in their party.—-V. Y. Her

Ti
negroes were, confined to the
Barracks lust night, and after seven
o’clock all was quiet.
Tiie officers of the garrison here
have, vve believe, tried to avoid^liffi-
cullies and have everything go on
pleasantly ; but a large majority of the
n gro soldiers have done all in their
power to provoke trouble, and have
sought difficulties.
VV c presume the affair will be inves
tigated this morning, and that both
gentlemen will appear.
Since writing the above, we learn
*dmt Major Warner, formerly of the
■Navai Iron Works, who was walking
on the opposite side of the street, was
suot in the leg by a ball fired from one
<‘f the windows of the barracks in
Bank’s building. Llis leg was ampu
tated above the knee a short time af
ter, by Drs. Foard, Stanford and oth-
time, and he in the name of justice,
freedom and liberality, would adopt
measures of remorseless proscription.
They made republican ideas and insti
tutions odious by their infamous con
duct and he would destroy this great
country by his intolerance and imprac
ticable abstract theories. They plunged
France into such a fearful and exhaust
ing war that the nation had bled at
every pore purety from a reckless spir
it of propagandism and to cover up
their crimes, and he from a similar
motive, proposes extreme measures
that may involve us in foreign wars.
His proposition to give direct aid to
Juarez i« the war now raging in Mex
ico shows how ^radical and dangerous
his policy is in foreign matters as well
as in domestic ones. While we all
sympaiize with* the republican cause
in" Mexico, we are not prepared to
wage a war of propagandism. We
prefer the deliberate but firm course
of the President with regard to that
country, and we believe it will sooner
accomplish the obj-et we desire than
tho extreme ono of Steven?. r Vhese
radicals, whether of Fiance or Amer
ica, are revolutionary and dangerous
in everything. But we ma\ be thank
ful that they will not be able to do so
much harm here, for we have a pru
dent, firm and conservative President
to checkmate them. Stevens may rule
over the weak members of Congress
for a while, but the age of the guillo
tine and committees of public safety
is past, and Isis power will decline be
fore the liberal • views and generous
sentiments of the p-ople,—-New York
Herald.
What Does it Mean?—We have
information, direct and positive, that
some Yankee speculators, wiio were

dren in the streets of Atlanta, to starve,
while they slipped off in a trainj tip
the State road, with the men; and
that the poor, creatures tire still theie,
or were, a week after the scoundrels
who had enticed tli rn fro n their
homes had departed. It is rumored
that a party of the same charact r,
who were a short time since hiring
niggers to go Wes, (?) did the Same
trick in Atlanta. Men who will be
guilty of such conduct," are none too
good to run a cargo to Cuba and sell
them.—Athens Watchman.
It means that all the professed love
of the Yankee for the negro race is
nothing more nor less than sheer hy
pocrisy. These are the men w hom the
grants and established them as tenants
or employed them as laborers. Among
those who sought to revive their busi
ness in this way was a Mr. J. J. Mhoon
and some associates, living near Mem
phis. This gentleman, on reaching
New York, found Castle Garden filled
'with emigrants unable to get away for
want of funds. He very readily made
engagements with them to go with him
to Memphis aud settle on his farms
and in his town houses, to work for him
at customary wages, on his agreeing to
pay their railroad expenses. Accor
dingly, he filled a ear with them, men
women and children, to the number of
sixty, paid their fare, amounting to
about §1,000, and started West. The
arrangement worked satisfactorily un
til they arrived here yesterday morn
ing. While waiting at the depot of
the Little Miami railroad, for re-ship-
rqgnt on a boat to Memphis, in the ab
sence of Mr. Mhoon, they were insti-
gat. d, either by tfieir own mistrust or
by friends who met theta there, to de
sert their enterprising benefactor, and
in a very short time their big trunks
ai d little boxes were thrown into ex
press wagons, and the whole crowd
startc i over the Rhine—all excepting
two or three old women, ' who could
not be induced to violate their prom
ises, and their trunks were taken with
the rest. When Mr. Mhoon returned
to the depot he found his white labo
rers, on whom he had paid fifteen or
twenty dollars apiece, had taken to
their heels like so many runaway
slaves, and with them went his bright
prospects of early and-large crops and
big prices.—Cincinnati L/azetle.

' 'incinnati Gazette (radical,) gives the
following account of the revocation of

The following is the conversation
which took place between the President
and Pollard last evening :
Pollard, on entering, said : “Mr.
President, you doubtless remember me
as calling with Mr. F.orence, of the
Constitutional Union. My name is
Pollard, and lam the editor and pro
prietor of the Richmond Examiner,
and would like to have the order sup
pressing it revoked. I understand
that Gen. Grant issued the order, and
that there is only one article t> which
he objects, and that was written by a
local, and without his (Pollard’s)
knowledge, and really in aspirit of fun.
There may have been a few articles
containing strictures upon the govern
ment, but I don’t approve of their ap
pearing, and hereafter tiie paper shall

Pollard said in the most humble way.
Tha President replied: “I know
nothing about i t, as I cannot take much
time to read ; but it has been repre
sented to me that your paper is very
disloyal. The order came from Gen.
Grant, and I wi 1 ! haye nothing to do
