SltAXDEEOUS INJUSTICE. The Picayune has repeatedly protested against the great wrong done by condemning the people of a parish or community for crimes committed by individuals.

It has been a habit with some persons and newspapers whenever there has been a conflict in the State between the whites and blacks, or when some outrage has been committed upon whites or blacks, to denounce such occurrences as the work of white conspirators or "regulators," who are represented to be banded together in secret organizations that dominate and control the entire parish or community in which such crimes are committed. The injustice and wickedness of loading upon an 'entire community the crimes perpetrated by particular persons, are manifest, instead of urging the local officials to vindicate the laws and to bring the evil-doers to justice, announcements, sensational in the extreme and highly injurious to the best people of the parish in question, are sure to be sent out broadcast. The publio at at distance from the. scene of the disorder is made to believe that the people of the unfortunate locality are either constantly engaged in the most outrageous violence jind crime, or at least consent to and approve, if they do not actually take part in the most shocking atrocities, while the State's entire power is invoked to interfere in matters that belong exclusively to the province of the local authorities and are wholly within the Bcope of their ability to con- troL The truth of our position has been peculiarly demonstrated in the matter of the recent murder of the negro family Cormier in Lafayette. The crime was inexcusable in every way, but the featnres of atrocity that distinguished it did not justify the wholesale denunciations poured out upon the people of the parish, nor did the.

circumstances which followed the murders give the slightest grounds for the persistent attempt to show that it would be impossible to arrest the perpetrators because they were defended by a powerful body of "regulatorswhom nothing but the entire military force of the State could overawe." The facts are to-day that not the slightest was encountered in arresting any and all parties to whom circumstances or suspicion seemed to point and after numerous arrests had been made without a sign of resistance, and with no shadow of an attempt at rescue, malicious reports were circulated that the jail was to be stormed by an armed mob and the prisoners released by force. There appears to have been not even the slightest foundation for such a statement, which was a part of the systematic wrong that has been heaped upon a people as honorable and law-abiding as any in the land. In this connection we reprint the protest of General DeClouet and other prominent citizens who have been greatly grieved by the denunciations heaped upon them. The communication was published yesterday but in the interests of jnstice and fairness we reproduce its chief statements The recent atrocious crimes, w'uich have raised a cry of indignation and a shudder of horror In the parish of Lafayette and throughout the country, having, an in previous cases of outrages and violation of tho law, been ascribed to an association of white people of which we. the undersigned, are edipcrs, and to which the name of "regulators" has been given by slanderers and those ignorant of our principles and motives, -we deem it a duty to ourselves and to those whom we represent to repel and stigmatize with the brand of contempt the sensational and calumnious misrepresentations of certain newspapers that we are regulator, and as such violators of the law.

We are moreover readv to place the stamp of falsehood on the cheek of all our accusers. To conclude, we will state that the services of our association have on former occasions, been offered to the sheriff and accepted by him, and we are now, as we ever have been, ready to assist him in arresting and bringing to trial all guilty parties. We sympathize with any people who have been wrongfully accused. Let criminals be punished with the severest penalties of the law, but innocent people on whom the law has no claim should be secure from slanderous and unfounded misrepresentation. TO UTILIZE THE OLD MONITORS.

The Navy Department has long been embarrassed to know what to do with the old single turreted monitors, of which there are thirteen still on the navy list. These old monitors, although of an obsolete type, are in sound condition, and if properly remodeled might be made effective engines of offense and defense. As they are now armed only with smoothbore guns of small power, and are protected only by iron armor totally incapable of resisting modern ordnance, they are absolutely no use in their present state. A plan has been recently proposed whereby these old vessels may be rendered effective for coast defense at but small cost in the shape of a partial remodeling and fresh armament. Speaking of this plan, the New York Herald of Sunday last says It is proposed to remove the turret and in its place build a circular pit large enough to contain two eight-inch breechloading rifles, mounted side by side on pneumatic disappearing carriages.

The armor on these craft could be readily pierced, at even more than two mile ranges, by the modern six-inch guns, but it Is sufficient to keep shell out, since impact with five-inch armor will explode the shell before penetration. The chief immunity from danger that the crews could hope for would be due to the smallness of the target exposed to an enemy's Are. Half a dozen of these monitors concentrated at a point threatened with attack would be very valuable coast defenders. Their shallow draft less than twelve feet would enable them to maneuver with a freedom impossible to the attacking fleet, and they would have sufficient offensive power to do great damage before they could be disabled. It is probable that an extension of the same system to new coast defense vessels carrying very heavy armor and the heaviest guns would be desirable.

As only moderate speed would be required, the weight that would be thus saved from the boilers, engines and superstructure would enable the armor to be impenetrable without giving great draft. Two or three dozen such craft distributed along our coast would probably secure tu against attack by any two naval powers combined. Some, definite system of coast defense has long been desired, and it is probable that now that we have determined to have a really effective navy- it will be shortly in order to formulate a plan ot protecting our harbors and coasts." In such work the old monitors, remodeled as indicated, could be of much service, and to this use they certainly should be devoted. THE BOND ROBBERY. The only special development in the State bond robbery case is the ascertainment of the fact that the cauceled bonds themselves were not destroyed, but are in existence in the hands of parties, doubtless innocent, here and elsewhere.

Large numbers of these bonds were seen and identified yesterday, and therefore their existence is no longer a question. It is supposed that the canceled bonds were deposited in the office of the State Treasurer, and were seen there by the joint committee of the General Assembly in 1882, sent to examine the offices of Treasurer and Auditor. That committee recommended the destruction of the bonds and a concurrent resolution was adopted directing the act to be executed nnder the supervision of the Treasurer and Auditor. The fact remains that the bonds were not destroyed. If they ever were in the State Treasury they were subsequently removed from there, so that they are now in the hands of numerous parties, where they remain, in absolute violation of the State Constitution, to the great damage of the State and of innocent parties.

Here the matter rests for the present, but there it should not be suffered to remain. The interests of the State, of the public, of all the State officials, past or present, who have in any way been connected with this remarkable affair, unite in demanding a complete and thorough sifting to the bottom. The investigating of the wrong comes first. The possible righting of it is a matter' for future consideration. A NAPOLEON OP FINANCE.

The trial of Henry S. Ives in New York for grand larceny, which is now in progress, recalls one of the most sensational financial scandals that has ever convulsed Wall street. The failure of Ives was announced on the New York Stock Exchange in August, 1887. and according to the report of the assignee of the broken firm it was developed that Ives had been able to pile up liabilities, to the extent of over seventeen million dollars, while the asset in sight barely reached eleven million dollars. The failure of course created an immense sensation, the more because of the fact that a mere boy, for Ives was nothing more, should have ever come to controsui enormous interests.

The fact of Ives' youth and the rapidity of his ascent to fame in the financial world had the effect of covering up to a great extent the real criminality of his gigantic operations, hence the general belief was that the matter would be suffered to pass into oblivion. The fact that Ives was unmolested for a longtime strengthened the belief that the whole matter would be hushed up, but this was not to be, as it has again been opened by the criminal prosecution of Ives on the charge of grand larceny on the complaint of Julius Dexter, President of the Cincinnati, Hamilton anl Dayton Railroad. The warrant charges Ives with appropriating to his own use 100,000 of tho funds of the railroad company. The trial, which has now been in progress for several days, has developed the -most startling statements as to how Ivewrecked the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad and the rascalities and fraud that he resorted to to Re-cure possession of the shares of tho plundered road. It has developed the whole Story of how the boy financier, with bo other capital than an unlimited supply of audacity and nerve, was able to secure control of millions of dollars of interest and to possess the confidence of the oldest and richest habitues of Wall street.

But a few years ago Ives was an errand boy at a few dollars a week, and his first business ventures on his own account were in unlisted Becurl Ltfe.s which were carried fof im by firms of hs acquaintance. From these snrairbe-ginnirigs Jives soon came into prominence by the purchase of the Cincinnati, namHton and Dayton Eail-road. The success of this audacious, scheme was promptly followed by the purchase or attempted purchase of. other roads, but a flaw developed in his plans that he was unableto bridge over and he shortly came to grief. For a season, however, Ives was a great man in Wall street and his ventures and apparent success were the admiration of-the old time operators, so that he earned among them' the sobriquet of the "Napoleon of Finance." It seems almost incredible that a plausible scoundrel like Ives, with no money of his own, could succeed in securing control of uch vast interests, and it is a poor conunentary on the sagacity of the leaders in the financial center of the country, Every mkh, no matter how practical and prOsaic, is open to advances of clever swindlers.

There seem to be individuals who possess a sort uf magnetic or mesmeric power to break down the prudence and firmness of the shrewdest and most experienced business men. No robber methods are so successful as those in use by "confidence" operators. The strangest thing about them is that they can keep their victims under control for indefinite periods of time, and in many cases they are able to swindle the same persons more than once in the same way. In ancient times such successful crimes would have been attributed to or to a covenant with the evil A RACE WAR IN WEST. Those of our esteemed contemporaries of the Northern press who have allotted so much of their valuable space to comments on negro outrages in the South will find food for reflection in the account of a race war that has broken out in Illinois, which has been telegraphed all over the country by the Associated Press.

Although this disturbance did not take place in the South, nor yet in a Democratic State, it nevertheless resembled so closely the affairs of the sort that the Northern press have so bitterly denounced as peculiarly Democratic and Southern we confess to some curiosity as to what they will now attribute this latest development of the race issue. The trouble in question occurred at Lawrenceville in Illinois and had all the usual accompaniments, snch as a fight between a white man and a col-' ored citizen, which drew to the support of either party large numbers of people of his own race. There was the usual spilling of blood and the inevitable triumph of the whites and the utter discemfiture of the blacks. Pontics had to do with' theiout-break as far as known, hence 'it is scarcely possible that our Northern contemporaries will attempt "t.o attribute this race conflict, to political bulldozing or regulating, and in this magio. one respect it may serve the good purpose of opening their eyes to the possibility that there are other matters underlying the race troubles in the South than mere politics.

The chances are, however, that the trouble in Illinois will be passed over without notice as the location of the outrage will serve no political end, a fact which has nearly everything to do with the scrupulous recording of every petty disturbance in the Southern States by the Republican press. AN ATROCIOUS ABDUCTION. The finding by the police yesterday of a little white girl in a state of nudity and nearly insane imprisoned Mn the bedroom of a negro barber is one of the most astonishing and horror-striking events recorded in this city for many a day. The child, who is not more than 15 years old, and of naturally weak mind, has been missing from home for a considerable period. The police, gaining a hint that there was.

something wrong with the barber, searched his room, which was near his shop, and discovered the missing child, closely imprisoned and naked, so as to prevent her escape, even if it had been possible for her to have gotten out of the securely locked and guarded room. This is, an outrage that mar well make our people wonder that such a crime could be committed in a frequented part of the city but the successful mystery of the celebrated London horror shows that a' crowded locality is sometimes the most favorable situation for the perpetration of the most infamous deeds. The child in question has been criminally abused under circumstances of the utmost cruelty. Being under the age when a female child may consent to debauchment, she is the victim of a violent and most wicked crime; but add to the horrors of her situation the close imprisonment, under circumstances thenost revolting, and it is difficult not to wish that the atrocity had been perpetrated in some community where such crimes meet with sudden and summary punishment. The miscreant is in custody, and we trust there is law enough in the land to secure his certain doom.

Death of Colonel Edgar Dubroca. Colonel Edgar Dubroca of West Baton Rouge died on Monday, the 16th of -September, on Bayou Teche. at theagb, of 65 years. At the beginning of tfeearVColonel Dubroca raised a company in West Baton Rouge, and with it joined the Thirteenth Louisiana Regiment of Infantry, commanded by Colonel K. L.

Gibson) at Camp Moore, La. He was with that historic reginc entln all the great battles of the West Sh! loh, Per-ryville, Murfrecsboro, Chickaniat iga, Missionary Ridge. At the battle of the 28th of July on the Bamtown Road, near Atlanta, whhe serving as aid to General R. L. Gibsonfie was badly wounded, and on his recovery ordered to report to General Klrby -Smith at Shreveport, where ho was At the surrender on the Cth of June, 1885.

He was successively nromoted Major aud Lieutenant Colonel ofne consolidated regiments, Thirteenthana Twentieth. In whatever positi0bfQrune placed him he acted' well his part. Whatever he had to do he did it quietly and without ostentation. It is only when one of these leaders of men pass from the stage of the living that' we recall those noble legions that went out from this State and that for four long years endured hardships and risked their lives for their country. This old Thirteenth Louisiana Regiment wa commanded at the beginning by Colonel Randall L.

Gibson, promoted Brigadier General by Aristide Gerard, Lieutenant Colonel, promoted to Colonel and Brigadier General, wounded at Fannin gton; by Anatole Avegno, Major, killed at Shiloh by Steven O'Leary, Senior Captain, promoted Major, wounded at Sliiloh, detained at KnoxviUe, 1952 by F. L. Campbell, Captain, wounded badly at Murfresboro, promoted Colonel, and commanding regiment at close of war; by Edgar Dubroca, Captain, promoted Lieutenant Colonel; by M. O. Tracy, Captain, promoted Major, lost a leg at Mnrfreesboro by 'John McQratli, Captain, promoted 3frjoiv wounded at Atlanta.

Of the above flfi officers only Gibson, Gerard and McGratn are now living. At the surrender at Meridian, there were eight officers and twenty-three private soldiers present. Colonel Dubroca was at the time of his death engaged in planting upon the plantation of Mr. Cartwright Eustis of this city, with whonr he had been associated in the army and who succeeded him as aid to General Gibson at Atlanta when wounded. He attended closely to his business and took no part in political life.

His devoted wife survives him. He left no children. Of his brothers two of them survive him Valerian and Maurice. One who was with him on that far away battle ground in Tennessee and often saw that silent man passing through the camp or along' the battle lines, dressed in his country's gray, recalls to remembrance what is here said of him to the people of his native State, for whom he has often offered his life. His warfare is over; he now sleeps in peace with the many who went out with him and never returned.

It is such men that make a country great. The Late Joseph David. Yesterday morning, 9 o'clock, requiem mass for the repose of tho soul of Joseph David was celebrated in St. Louis Cathedral. The ceremony was of an unusually impressive Rev.

Chauncey Depew, being Interviewed the other day upon his return to New York from abroad, "The one thing that struck me as the most novel in the exposition was- a new system of railroading that promises to revolutionize all existing methods. The inventor Is a Frenchman. I have forgotten his name. He sent me an invitation and gave me a private ex hibition of the working of his invention. He has a half mile track on which to make his tests.

The cars are propelled by water pumped by stationary engines. There are two tracks of iron about six inches wide and each-car is supplied with big iron feet in the place of wheels. The water is made to go against feet with tremendous force' and they glue along on a thin surfaceef water not more than an eighth of an inc thick. It Is said that a very high rate speed cam be attained. I know that we rode at the rate of forty miles an hour and there was no motion whatever.

The only objection I can see to the system is that It may be difficult to stop promptly. It costs twice as much to build the new road, but when it Is once built the expense of running it would be very slight. I have seen no description of this invention anywhere and it seems to me to be one of the most remarkable creations of the age." Mr. Depew should be a reader of the Picayune. The invention that most interested him was fully described some weeks ago by our Paris correspondent.

CITY HALL. The Canal Cleaning; Did. As a result of the Interview with Chairman Clark of the finance committee, published yesterday morning, the following letter was sent yesterday 4:. Nrw Oslkaks, Sept. 17, fsw.

Hon. J. G. Clark, New Orleans: Dear Sir Neither myself nor the Swamp Land Company I represent claim any other consideration than fairness and Justice. In relation to the cleaning of rhe canals, we stated to the committee at the time of its session that its decision was unfair in giving the Galvez canal to Keegan, on which our bids were equal.

Trne It is you suggested that we draw straws for Galvez canal, and Mr. Claiborne, that the same be put up at auction, but neither suggestion was acted upon by the committee. It was on motion of Mr. Sel-leck, seconded by Mr. Woods, that the Galvez and Broad canals were given to Keegan, Mr.

Claiborne voting against, and you not voting at all, deciding as chairman that the motion was carried by 3 to 1. When you offered to give the company the Toulouse canal we protested aud refused the same was not our refusal a sufficient protest It is not too late to rectify the matter if the committee and council desire to do full justice. As regards the communication of the city survevor to the committee it is entitled to no consideration whatever, in view of the fact that he advocated the rejection of the bid of the Swamp Land Company, without regard to the interest of the city, and recommended the acceptance of Keeffan's bid. Besides, how did that officer know that a dredge was to be used, when the bids and specifications mention none, and we bid to do the work according to the specifications on file In his office The cleaning of the Orleans canal was not done by the Swamp Land Company, but having personally attended to the matter for the contractor, I can say that he complied strictly with all his obligations and gave the city a great deal more work than the contract called for. Go and see the canal and you will find that it is a first-class Job in every particular.

Hoping that you will exert yourself in petting justice done, I remain, very truly yours, Cus. Louqck. Money on Hand.

It will be remembered that Chairman Brittin, of the assessment committee, made the claim that the increases ordered by the committee equaled the decrease.

A Wholesale Vegetable Market.

Mr. Raymond, who projected the wholesale vegetable market scheme, says the matter has not been abandoned, but a proposition will be sent to the next meeting of the council. Now that a new market lease is soon to be made he will ask that St. Mary's market be omitted from the list, and offer to take a lease of it for twenty-five year a year, assuming the policing and lighting of the market as well. The idea is to devote the market to wholesale huckstering, forbidding the selling from produce-boats on the levee or from cars at the depots.

The sale of produce in the other markets will not be prohibited, provided the selling is done inside the markets. The Gambling; Question. Every day the mayor is besieged with ap-pllcationor admissions to the almshouse. There 120 now, but the ingislaige enough or lOOmoM.Thaoaly troubleis lack of funds for theirXsupDort. Mayor Shakspeare said that his experience clearly proved that aa gambling vould not be suppressed, the only way to do was to use9ttej eevil for some good purpose.

The council at one time promised to take hold of the matter and he waited upon them. Now it looks a if they wanted to throw the responsibility on him. He will not accept that position, and in a month or two will order a general closing up. The Cow Nuisance. The department of public works has again eaiiea the mayor's attention to the damage done by roaming cattle.

The department had Just completed digging a 6-toot ditch on Napoleon avenue from StTCharles to Claiborne, and it has already been entirely trampled down and filled up. If it was thought that the cows would be allowed to destroy the work in that way the department would not have gone to the expense of endeavoring to assist in St. Charles avenue drainage. Grading Banquettes. The list of banquettes which the property holders failed to re grade, after being notified, has not yet been advertised.

Since the publication of the list most of them have begun to make repairs and others have asked and been granted 30 days in which to do the work. So the advertisement for bids for the work will not be inserted for several weeks yet If at all. The Bank Assessments. The Union, Germanla and State National Banks are the only banks which have not yet made any returns to the board of assessors, in response to the call of the state auditor for a reassessment. It is not probable that the whole matter will be gone over again by the board of assessors, but the papers will simply be referred to the" assessor of the First district who will make up the list.

Mrs. William Knecht, a burly German woman who reside in Philadelphia, is probably known to more people in that state than any other public character. She Is known as the "paddle woman," and has made herself famous by her annual tours of the state, which she has made uninterruptedly for many years.

At aU the country fairs she conducts a chance game operated with ten or a dozen paddles and a wheel, the possessor of the lucky number being given the selection of any of the articles in her booth.
