The last issue of the Sugar Bowl, a paper printed at New Iberia, had an article against the Belden family (one of whom, Robt. is District Attorney for that section), in which article among other things, we noticed an old proclamation issued in 1867 by a justice of Vermilion parish, and offering $200 reward for the recapture of Geo-F. Belden, who was alleged to have been a prisoner of the law at the time of escape. This affair, together with the accompanying allegations touching Henry C. Belden, was evidently raked up to assist in the war npon the District Attorney, and to perfect, such indirect evidence, the Sugar Bowl's position.

Now the Beldens belong to that political class vulgarly styled scalawags," which means that they are native Lonisianians who have joined the Republican party. In that capacity they have received a vast amount of censure, and are still, in a political point of view at least, objectionable to the mass of the white people. We have scrutinized their actions very closely, and been prompt, perhjaps. at times, unduly severe with our condemnation. This result is a very natural one.1 Yet we think when we inform the public that this Geo F.

I concerning whom the proclamation was7! published by the Sugar Howl, had been dead four yearjs killed in a personal rencontre at Terrebonne on the 21st May, '1870; that more than a year before his death he was tried and acquitted on the charge which preceded his arrest and alleged escape we think, we say, that the public on learning these facts will join us in saying that the Sugar Bowl is carrying its war again et these Beldens beyond all bounds of decency or common humanity. We believe iu holding officers to a strict account and in justifying by all fair and truthful means our expressed opinions of the arty norr dominant in Louisiana. We believe, too, in re cording all criminalities by whomsoever perpetrated. And in holding up to common criticism. those' who infringe the law the editor of the Sugar Bowl very grossly mistakes the spirit of this people if he thinks we wish to do any man injustice still more if he conceives that we would carry our injustice to the grave.

In doing thi himself, and thereby leading others through a misapprehension of the facts, to follow his example, he abuses his privileges and our confidence in a manner which we indignantly repent. These articles have claimed for themselves a pure and patriotic motiie, yet we make bold to suggest that when they outrage the sanctity of the tomb in search of support and justification, the disapproval and suspicion of all loyal, kindly gentlemen attaches to them forthwith and permanently. TOWN TALK Fends Asneag the FaltafaL The general public, and especially that portion of it which aflects the Cancasiat-manner, little sospests the intensity the discord rowpervading the Radioa' tanks. hit per about the black move ment, the negro party, are not coni prehended. or indeed considered it tbeirlcll bearing.

The fact that Pinch back. Chester, and other colored leader-contemplate the casting oft of their whits colleagues and the nomination cf a trafrbt-oot negro ticket, tas not at yet fairly transpired. The P3 preesions "Custom-House wing' and "Pinchback wing" are only "vaguely understood. Nevertheless, the knowing ones declare that a breach of rapidly-widening proportions is in existence and that splits and conflicts and dissensions of edifying and hopeful bitterness arise with almost every hoar. Evidently Sambo is tired of his white leaders.

Ominous growls from Washington have znaae those leaders reflective, harried them into a species of political rendered them cautious" how they put the negro 1 I or ward. And all this displeases the negro vastly. Having tasted blood, he naturally thirsts for more. Having been coached very thoroughly in the science of leeching a commonwealth, he naturally wishes to apply that dearly purchased knowledge to his own benefit. And Moving discovered by experience that the carpetbagger "dontidivide worth a cent," he proposes to take charge of the little business himself.

Chester, Barber, Borch und other silhouette sketches of the Louisiana lawmakers went North last su aimer, and. receiving a little attention tliere from a certain class of sentimentalists whose influence is as hollow as their sympathy is ephemeral, they have returned in the firm conviction that the North unani-mously admires them and wants to see them at the head of political affairs. Pinchback knows better his Washing, ton chapter reads very differently bat he has his little hatchet tot grind, and lie knows that the Custom-House atoue is rot for him. Consequently Pinch, back has gone into tho movement, and you may believe us when we say that thingx are "hot and still a heatinr' among the wigwams of the faithful. JULY 23.

He has realized that the white Radical is a meie nothing: that the white Radicals are chiefly available as office-holders that the strength of the party in Louisiana is own; and he thinks he will utilize it just once on his own account. To lose the carpet-bagger and gain the negro as a ruler is the prospect now before us. Bat it has one virtue the white man's party grows apace.

Riverside. Of course there is a vast diversity taste in questions of this sort. For our part we greatly prefer taking Arabella to the soda fountains or waylaying the ice cream wagon somewhere; nevertheless, we don't deny that Riverside's suggestion is a good one.

A fellow might put in some highly satisfactory lave-makirg in the course of a trip to Algiers and back. You can always "lose" a chaperone on a ferryboat if you bring yoar mind to it. We know we ought to say something neat about the water and the beautiful view from the wharves, the rippling waves and the moon's white track, but we can't. To tell the truth, our feelings are embittered by an episode related elsewhere of a certain bald-headed party and the trick he played in our office yesterday. Pile mf Treaaare.

Some people talk about the hardship of the sailor and miner, bat there is on class of our community that suSers more, works and struggles harder, than, these. People who ride in street ears are apt tf waste a great deal of false pity on th poor little mule or the dnver, who drives on all day long without a moment's in termission bnt the worst treated per son about a horse car is not the driver nor the mule, but the money man. A visit to a railroad depot, the othi day, showed ns what became of all th old rnety nickels and rotten car ticket-with wbfch this unfortunate city is burdened. Entering a low. small room, rather closet, our eyes were greeted about two dozen immense leather bag- that contained the wealth, the trait aa gathering of a weeks horse cars Tw men opened these bags and poured ou the contents peU-mell on te brick floor.

Soonj there was a pile at least five feet hfgh I of old currency about eight bu.shels of dimes, nickels and car tickets But these piles of wealth were not af all inviting to the eye or nose. The money looked much more like a heap at filth than anything and the smell was simply terrific a graveyard, saner. krout, nothing could be more offensive. The air was so mephiutio that the very lamp burnt with a dnll red glare, auc we were almost choked with the nause-O08 effluvium. The two men seemed to stir this mass around with, sticks and then proceeded to separate and divide the money.

It seemed impossible that they could stand the stench without fainting, and yet it appeared from habit to have but little effect npon them. All the decent and respectable money was placed to one side. The refuse would hardly have been recognized as greenbacks; it seemed melted ana decayed into pulp. And yet, much of this was rescued, washed, cleansed and returned once more to circulation old pieces were fixed together so as to pass muster. We saw one skeleton made up from the fragments of at least a dozen eparate and distinct pieces.

Even after be reconstruction and regeneration of these scattered and torn limbs, there was a good deal of "stuff" left that no doctoring could convert into passabh-money. In this heap might be discovered recollections and tokens of the fraud of old tricksters, old and dirty pasteboard cards that had been passed -n? as legitimate ear tickets, and even an old tarry raz that might have passed for a depraved dime at a few feet distance. As for bogus nickels and split cax tickets, they axe too numerous to mention. Of all nasty and filthy work the separation and manipulation of this old rotten currency is the worst, and we coold well believe that the men who are en ga ged seldom work at the busmessover half a dozen years, before they fall victims to disease brought on by the stench and mepbitic air rising from the money. Certainly if that is wealth, we don't want any of A Case of Arsea that Never Reached the Pallee.

The first ev'dence that an infant has reached bo hood is his desire for knowledge. know an infant of this kind, last verging on boyhood. He has an insatiable desire to know more. His favorite engine afforded him but little pleasure until he had disemboweled it and investigated its entrails, and his sister's doll has been dissected until th last drop of sawdust flowed from it emaciated frame. His next most prominent quality is a love for gunpowder and matches.

All bis Christmas money goes on matches. With a box or two of these he is happy and content, and wilt sit up in a corner, quiet and decorous, setting fire to piles of paper, the curtain or the cat he don't' care which. Every evening. Bob as ail bad boys are named puts on his Sunday school look, and in a very moral tone request to be allowed to go to the corner. At the comer there is an ancient and for-orn lamp post, a most wretched and oo-bappy scarecrow, which Bob has worried und ff-nnoyed almost out of existence.

The lamp-post carries on the post ofSoe bnsinees in a small way. holding in its embrace a big green box intended lettr. Into this ft letter or "two is dropped every week, ther to sleep away nntil the postman drops around to collect it. Bob and his gang conceived the idea of pouring water into this box. This they did with some little success.

Jim, when he got a damp letter -from Sasan. the whole of which was completely washed away, became a little dissatisfied, and responded in his next that as much as he appreciated her weeping, he preferred that she would not weep the letter totally illegible. The. next day Bob tried another plan. Lighted bombs of paper were dropped into the hole.

The experiment was crowned with success 1 the infernal machines took fire, and soon flame and smoke issued from every crevice of the old iron chest, whilst the boys danced around it a war dance of triumph. This little bonfire movement was earned on several successive evenings with great success, until finally Bob's mother discovered the trick, took Bob in. and well, he cried a great deal about it. But the mother never knew the crime that Bob was guilty of never knew that her six-year old son had committed a felony that would have entitled him to twenty years' hard labor in the Penitentiary. Nor do the neighbors know what it is that has so effectually disarranged their domestic economy.

Louis is almost crazy because he has no letter from Angelina answering his proposal. And old Brown wants to know what his family means by calling on him for mere money, when he sent them $200 last week. There is a good deal of cursing at the post office and the mail aystem of the United States. Bat Bob. although he has many sins to bear, is never made responsible for this little mishap.

CIVIL RIGHTS SODA. Results of a Northwest Passage to the Arctic Fountain. A certain druggist in the city has a very Intelligent boy as an assistant. The boy is not large, nor is he handsome, but his brain is immense. He will assuredly become, some day, a most distinguished pharmaceutist.

Already he loves to pestle and. pound out strange aad -wonderful -compounds, which he distributes to friendly curs with great damage to the cause of hydrophobia. He has even tried some of his experi mental prescriptions on human beings with great eflect. True it is, that he has never been before the Grand Jury, yet a baby he treated died in a very sus picions manner. Some trifling mistake must have been made, for a baby cannot digest and anage a pint of laudanum.

Indeed the oy is a worthy rival of the celebrated Japhet in Search of a Father. same apothecary possessed a soda fountain, where dirty, bubbling water was served out to imaginative strangers. When, therefore, the civil rights bill was passed there was fear and dread on the part of the bead pharmaceutist lest his arietocxatio soda fountain might be visited by colored persons. So did this dread prey upon his mind that he wag afraid to stay abont his store, seeing in every visitor a black-leaguer bent on murdering him and stealing his soda water. He deserted his shop and left it to the boy to face and fight the enemy.

The boy was of bold mind and discarded any subterfuges; he did not in tend to try any of the small tricks practiced by some of the aerated-water men, t-uch as charging a dollar for a glass of oda, with a liberal discount of 05 per cent, to regular customers or the Yicks-bnrg plan, where the soda water ia given away and 5 cents charged for the nsa of the glass; but determined to make it a direct issue. Very soon a tali, greasy and cologny negro, npon whose arm swung a lady all lips and smiles, appeared. They passed scornfully by the negro soda water sa loon, Jnst opposite, as low and vul gar," and made for the apothecary, As the two entered the confectionery there was a grin of satisfaction on the negro's face. He trembled with nervousness and trepidation lest he might get a drink and miss the $500 damages he looked for. Oh Sal he gafly remarked, "if thy only refuse me; then can.

we have oar cottage, our brindled mole what a happy time will we have!" At these golden prospects Sal blushed; at least, we take it for granted that she did. Bnt no I not a cent of damages For the boy with" the greatest deference advanced to help Walk in nsadame walk in, sir. Ah! soda what syrup do you prefer Cream Sweet course." Two foaming glasses of soda were placed before them, and the couple dired into them. The male African seemed to think it tasted rather qoeer, bat as his lady took hers without breathing, he attributed this to the fact that it was white man's soda," and merely winked at her crocs eyed over the rim of his glaes. Proud, erect and manly, the victorious Ethiopians swept out of the apothecary shop.

After the greatest efforts we are una-able to find oat what that boy's prescription for ciril rights' soda was. He says he picked op almost anything he taw laying around the store. There Was a good deal of ipecac, he is certain, some calomel, arsenic and quite a number of other innocent drugs. That night two cases of Asiatic ehol era were announced in vibe Fourth District one a colored gentleman, the other a colcred lady; both were very serioas. In the midst of the delirium the fever produced, the invalids were heard cry, in a mournful tone: 7 Soda water, soda water!" No one, however, understood what this meant, Both the pa NUMBER 149.

tients ultimately recovered. We saw Jim, himself, on the streets the other lie remarked, incidentally, to a friend that he did not care for soda water very much wb at he wanted to know -was whether a man could recover damages for a pain in the stomach. As for that boy. he has become a hero among boys, and his-salary has been raised to a dollar a week. A 1IEA1T -m The- Bald-Headed- Party Fooled Our Tonne LTan With a Sensation.

Yesterday about 11:30, as our young" man was sitting, at his desk disconsolate, the police reports exhausted, the law machine wrung dry and nothing for the evening paper yet, an, elderly party with a bald head and a benevolent, but for the moment agaitated conn" tenance, marched solemnly up to him. took a seat opposite and said, in a tone of subdued excitement Do you want a sensation Did he want a sensation Does a shipwrecked sailor long for the vision of a sail; does a lover sigh for his marriage night; does a baby hanker for a ham- mer and a looking glass; doesf a patriot want lunch Our young man broke out' in a perspiration He grasped a large roll of paper, put on his coat and seized his visitor by the throat in one motion, "Where is it!" The evening paper would go to press in forty minntes, and he wanted to know where that sensation was. He shoved the elderly party around rather roughly for a moment, and then repeated the question "Where is it "The old man smiled a slow, oily smile, and proceeded to explain that he had just heard of the moat hideous case of miscegenation that ever convulsed, society. The beautiful daughter of a Port Gibson hotel keeper, of an aristocratic and refined family, reduced by the war to the necessity of earning a livelihood this beautiful and delicate creature had been insidiously beguiled -by certain dark spells to run off with one of the negro servants of the house The escapade had taken place, the unhappy girl had been conducted to the residence of Senator Bevels, the negro Senator, and there married to the mon ster with all the forms and incantations the Youdou cere-monia I. After this, the two had' fled to Yicksburg on a steamboat.

'Excitement followed them like a shadow; riots broke out wherever the boat landed, and at Vickiburg their arrival was the signal in fact the secret cause of the appalling outbreak which is now believed to be honrly imminent in that unfortunate city. They became alarmed. The tremendous excitement, coupled with the fact that the girl brothers had set out to find and slaughter both, of them, rendered their stay at Vicks- burg impossible.
