JUNE 20. 1876. WHOLE NUMBER 2886. n.n MiNtr. The lawless people of the Feliciana and Baton Bonge parishes have not jet ceased their outrages, though the dispatches received omit the customary conclusion to the killing of negroes of "All is now quiet" This time the affair culminated at Port Hudson.

The aocounts are conflicting bat the following is probably an accurate statement of the events of the week. Monday or Tuesday night W. T. Payne, a colored man. of Esst Baton Ronge, was taken from his home, at Holt's plaoe, at night, from his bed, and was afterward toond hang to a tree, two miles above that place, on the plank road near Whip's bayou.

He had committed no offense; all had been quiet, but he was the secretary of the Third Ward Republican Club of that parish. He was therefore "bulldozled," which is of late the local name of the actions of the "Regulators." Besides this many other negroes have within a few days been taken from their homes and brutally whipped and beaten, a milder means of correction sometimes adopted by the bulldozers. These outrages were especially aggravating because, though the majority were of course white, all faoes were blacked, and it was more than suspected that some negroes were of the party. Saturday there was a mass meeting, a picnic or barbecue at Port Hickey, and these matters were disoussed among those present. Ooe colored man was imprudent enough to boast that he had taken part in the whippings, and this caused some indignation.

With the examples of the white citizens fresh in their minds, the negroes were foolish enough to think they oould punish one of their own race in the same manner they had been treated. Some of them found him and beat him severely. They did not kill him. If this negro had been a Republican nothing would have been done more than to chronicle the fact negro row." gat he had said he was a Democrat; had he was a "bulldozer," and this was probably true. His white friends immediately arrested all the innocent negroes they oould lay their hands on.

Failing to fix any act of violenoe on any of them, they ed themselves, as usual, with the extra artillery of a warrant, and went hunting for more. The negroes were collected together. The whites demanded the surrender of those named in the warrant. Past experience of the amount of protection such documents afford unfortunate negroes, who imagine it pats them in the custody of the law, made them refuse. They had no desire to see their friends "rescued" by a greater foroe than tbe ostensibly fogal posse, and strung np or filled with lead.

Firing then commenced, and a singular circumstance varied the monotony of similar previous conflicts. Several whites were wounded and the report says no oolored an was. By some it is stated the negroes were ten to one and had a cannon. All agree that the horse was shot, and the vhites stampeded and Bent to Baton Rouge and Bayou Sara for reinforcements seing the word of the commander of a detachment of sixty men, that came down on the the business in hand." The only official information on hand yesterday afternoon at tbe State House was following dispatch from Sheriff Forenan, of East Baton Rouge: Rumors of serious trouble at Port Hudloo. I am just starting up with a posse to ucertain what the trouble is.

By later but more vague reports it seems that not only he, with a posse, but the of East Feliciana with a posse and forcements of various independent together with all the posses that had previously assembled, marched on the on the favorite day for such Christian Sabbath. The accounts all again that the negroes fi to tbe amp and the whites were in full pursuit, us ending the affair in tbe orthodox man. Some were captured, and, it is said ere not harmed, but the best evidence of will be their future existence. One cumstance oasts doubt on it. A negro as taken from a boat and hanged.

Who was no one knows. Associated Press dispatches last night etail the return of the sheriff of East aton Rouge from Mount Pleasant with urteen prisoners. It is said no negroes ere killed or wounded. Thirty passed aton Rouge on tbe opposite side of the er goiDg toward Plaquemine. An armed of whites started on a tug to capture but returned on being informed the roes had been disarmed by the whites Brnsle Land ng, five miles below Baton ouge.

The dispatch ends, "All quiet The results seem to be, two negroes nged, thirteen taken prisoner, thirty unu.ed wandering in a strange parish, and ioe as many more in the swamp now hunted down. ong the blacks, their homes abandoned, summer labor lost, their families and the parish abandoned by hands.

The American bark Surprise was chartered yesterday to load oilcake for Liverpool. She wae towed from Algiers to Gratae, where her oergo is all ready at tbe Union Oil Works. There are now only six American vessels in port not chartered.

Tne steamship Haytiea, of the West India and Pacifie Line, leaves this port for Liverpool on the twenty-fifth. The Haytian is a first class new ship of 2000 tons burden. This is her third voyage, two of which she has made from here to Liverpool in sixteen days. Her accommodations are something of the style of the famous White Star Line. Those who contemplate a voyage across the Atlantic could not find a more safe, swift or comfortable steamer, even out of the port of Hew Tsrk.

On Saturday morning several of our towboat magnates embarked on board the Kio Grande, of the Eelipse Line, for a trip to the jetties, the passes, Pilot Town and all points of note at tbe month of the river. The weather being delightful, they soon dropped anohor outside the jetties and at daylight all hands wen piped to hnnl seinThe first hnnl being successful, a large number of choice fish being secured, all hands repaired on board and at half past seven o'clock Sunday morning sat down to a fish breakfast fit tor the gods.

Captain Donne, of the Baden, was visited, and after a bon voyage was drank in parting glass of sherry the excursionists headed foi Pilot Town, where they spent a pleasant hour with those hardy, sunburnt toilers and their dames. Leaving Pilot Town in the evening they arrived at the city early yesterday morning.

Among the party were Messrs. W. H. McLellan, L. Laoomb, of J.

There have been many oomplaints of late of delay in paying the apportionment of Orleans into the school treasury, and consequent delay in payment of the teachers.

Thera is bat one answer to these complaints, and that is that there is nothing in the State treasury to apportion, and was none on the first Mondays of March and June. There has been an impression current that one-half of tbe sum of $40,000 paid by the Louisiana State Lottery Company belonged to the school fond. This is erroneous. Oaly anoe, the first quarter of 1875, was such a division made. The appropriation act of 1876 bestows it on the Charity Hospital.

Another reason for lack of funds is the payment to the same institution of what has been collected of the poll tax by authority of the same act A greater deficit is caused by the appropriation out of the current school fond, by the same act, of $50,000 for the interest on the money accrued and invested from tbe sale of the school lands instead of from the free school fond. The books of the State Treasurer show the following condition of tbe school finances: Collections in 1876 from current school tax $1880 14, mill tax $57,165 08, poll tax $1420 87; total $60,466 09, these three items making the current school fund. Of this amount there has been disbursed $53,848 33, leaving a balance cf $6617 76 only. The last report of Mr. Superintendent Brown sets this matter forth very olearly and shows why the apportionment is so light.

Trade with Brazil. Messrs. Miller, Dolbonde 6c Co. announce, by private circular, that the first of a line of steamers between Hew Orleans and Rio Janeiro, touching at intermediate points, will leave this port at the end of July. This line will prove of the greatest importance to Hew Orleans and the West.

It is shorter that, any other route, and will charge the same rate to Rio as the New York and Baltimore lines, bat less rates to the intermediate ports. To these ports time will be from six to ten days, against twenty to forty-five on tbe other lines. An opportunity is offered to contradict the impression that Western floor dees not keep sweet in Sooth America after a voyage. The consumption of flour, lard, hams, pork, beef, in these ports, amounts anually to $20,000,000. Grain in bulk will be delivered from the barges on board the steamers by floating elevators for one cent per bnBhel.

Is Plachback's Cranium Tender Mr. Pinchback, in his zeal to subserve the interest of his especial friends, seems to have allowed bis judgment to get the better of his discretion. The position assumed by Mr. Pinch back in bis reputed remarks at Cincinnati yesterday is altogether untenable. He declared that tbe oolored race had not been justly dealt with, and as a panacea for their troubles be announced his intention to remain a passive spectator in the approaching political conflict.

Mr. Pinohback may as well be taught the lesson now that only as a supporter of the general principles of the Republican party can he nope to retain his hold upon the colored population of Louisiana. They will follow his dictation when he is right, bnt it is reasonably safe to assume that they will not be guided by bim whether right or wrong. It will require but a limited stretch of tbe imagination to convince Mr. Pinchback that his threatened disaffection to the Republican party will not be more damaging to the same than was that of Greeley and bis colaborers in the campaign of 1872.

Moreover, there are striking instances in the South where colored politicians of but slight intellectual inferiority to Mr. Pinchback have oeaeed to be influential with tboir race when they departed from the principles of the party which did so much for them. Conspicuous among this class is Mr. Cardozo, of Sonth Carolina, whose Republicanism seems to have vanished as bis purse became full We soaroely think, however, that in his reflective mood Mr. Pinchback will endeavor to disaffeet his race from tbe partv which transformed them from hamam chatties into citizens of the United Stares.

His efforts in such an attempt will most assuredly prove abortive. His failore to get the seat to whioh we thought him entitled in the Senate was greatly deplored by ns. His manly bearing daring tbe trying ordeal excited our admiration, and the philosophy with which he accepted his defeat lad ns to expect better things of him than are reported now from Cincinnati. We gave him credit for more hard sense than the genas Washington National Bepublietm. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Aaanal Examination. The annual examination of the pupils in the public schools commenced yesterday in the Sixth and Seventh Districts. The several schools and their departments were visited by the Superintendent, C. W.

The fact that colored boys and girls conld read and write and spell with the proficiency of white children, and tell the Emperor as much of the geography of the country he came from as he knew himself, perfectly amazed that gentleman, as he remarked, "Ic is very strange ze black can write as well as ze white children and write ze figures on ze board." This fact set the Emperor to thinking that if tbe black people of America could be taught to read and write, why should not also the black people of Brazil? And the Emperor departed a wiser and a better man, tor he determined the question at once in favor of educating the colored race in his dominions. Miss A. Wall, one of the teachers, was asked by the superintendent how her class (an elementarv one) was getting along. She replied: "Very well indeed, sir. They are attentive, obedient and persevering." This speaks well for a class which supplies the higher classes of the school with scholars.

The reitation by Riohard Williams of Tennyson's "Sunset Bugle Song" was worthy of special mention. In relation to this school it may he as well here to state that on Wednesday evening last the sum of $53 was collected at an exhibition given for the purpose of raising sufficient money to purchase a piano.

When the city superintendent and the representative of the Republican arrived at the school, they found the principal room in the building so filled with the young ladies undergoing their examination, that their parents going tbeir examination, that their parente and friends were compelled to listen at and look through the doom and windows. Tbe rooms are not only too small, bnt the buildings old and dilapidated, and last to decay. It is understood a new building will be within the next few months on the site of the old one, of the same style ss MeDonogh Ho.

This would be consolidating three or four schools in the immediate neighborhood that have as dilapidated looking an appearanoe as Napoleon Avenue School.

When consolidated. the Napoleon Avenue School will take in the Jersey and Marengo Schools.

The action of the Cincinnati convention yesterday was something of a surprise, bin it will command the approval of a large majority of Republicans, and the ticket will have the cordial support of the whole party. Governor Hayes is a man of whom ft is impossible to say a word of evil.

Personally he is not only above reproach, but above suspicion. There are co dark corners in bis history which need investigation or have ever set the tongue of scandal wagging. He bas been a dis inguished soldier, an incorruptible Congressman, an able and popular Governor. Outside of Ohio he bas been almost unknown until very recently; but the high regard in whioh he is held by his own people is the best testimony to his private character. The Tribune certainly, whioh supported him so strenuously when he was fighting his gallant fight for hard money against the Allen and Cary madmen last year, can find no fault with his nomination now.

The Liberals and independent reformers who lent all their strength to his canvass in 1875 will sustain him in the trials of a broader but easier field. The reform element of the party will feel that its just demands have been consulted in his nomination; and those who believe in good money will see in his name a better pledge for speedy resump tion than any resolutions ot a convention could give, and au ample compensation for the vagueness of the platform. Mr. Wheeler, like Governor Hayes, is a sound Republican from conviction, and not from the love of office. Like Governor Hayes, also, he is a thoroughly and conspicuously honest man, to whom investigation can bring no embarrassment, but only brighter credit.

While he is in fall accord with bis party, he is remembered with honor by the Independents for his admirable eonduet in the Lonisiana investigation, and the dignified and temperate report in whioh he rebuked tbe errors of the administration in dealing with that nate State. His name is the very strongest that could have been chosen for effect upon Hew York. The combination, indeed, is one ef the most formidable that have been suggested on either side, and although it can not be said that the oonrse is entirely clear, while the Democracy hava-yet to be heard from, it seems almost oertain that Hayes and Wheeler are to be the officers inaugurated next March York Tribune.

On Thnrsday afternoon, nominations being in order, and Ohio being called, C. W. Noyes, of Ohio, spoke as follows: behalf of the forty-fonr delegates from Ohio, representing the entire Republican party of Ohio, I have the honor to present to this convention tbe name of a gentleman well and favorably known throngbont the country; one held in high respect and much beloved by the people of Ohio; a man who, daring the dark and stormy days of rebellion, when those who are visible in peaoe and invisible in war were uttering brave words to eneer tbeir neighbors on, himself in the fore-front ot the battle followed bis leaders and his flag until tbe authority of our government was re-established trom the lakes to the gnlf, and from the river aronnd to the sea; a man who has had the rare good fortune, sinoe the war was over, to be twice elected to Congress from the district where he resided, snd subsequently the rarer fortune of beating successively for tbe highest office in the gift of the people of Ohio Allen G. Thurman, George H. Pendleton and William Allen.

cheers. He is a gentleman who has somehow fallen into the habit of defeating Democratic aspirants for tbe presidency, and ewe in Ohio all bave a notion that from long experience, he will be able to do it again. In presenting the name of Governor Hayes, permit me to say we wage no war upon the distinguished gentlemen whose names been mentioned here to-day. 1 They have rendered great service to their country, which entitle them to our respect and oar gratitude. I have no word to ntter against them.

1 only wish to say that General Hayes is the peer ot these gentlemen in integrity, in character, in ability. They appear as equals in all the great qualities which fit men for the highest positions whioh the American people can give them. Governor Hay es is honest he is brave he is unpretending; he is wise, sagacious, a scholar, a gentleman enjoying an independent fortune. The simplicity of his private life, his modesty of bearing, are a standing rebuke to the extravagance, the reokless extravagance, whioh leads to corruption in pnblio and private places. Remember, now, delegates to the convention, that a responsible dnty rests upon yon.

Yon can be governed by no wila impulse; you can ran no fearful risks in this oampaign. Yon most, it yon would sneoeed, nominate a candidate here who wiil not only oarry the old strong Republican States, bnt who will carry Indiana, Obio and He York, as well as other donbtinl States. We care not who tbe man shall be other than our own oandidate. Whoever yon nominate, men of the convention, shall receive our heartiest and most earnest efforts for success. Cheers.

Bnt we beg to submit that in Governor Hayes yon have those qualities which are calculated best to compromise all difficulties and soften all antagonisms. He has no personal enemies. His private life is so pure no man has ever dared to assail it. His public acts thronghont all these years have been above suspicion, I ask yon, then, if in tbe lack of those antagonisms, with all those qualities, living in a State which holds election in October, the result of which will be decisive, it may be, of the presidential campaign, if it is not worth while to see to it that a candidate is nominated against whom nothing can be said, and who.is sure to euceed in the campaign? In conclusion, permit me to say that if the wisdom of this convention shall decide at last that Governor Hayes' nomination is safest and is best, that decision will meet with such responsive enthusiasm here in Ohio as will insure Republican success at home, and which will be so far-reaching and wide-spreading as to make success almost as oertain from the Atlantic to the Pacifie. The I name Ben Wade? Mr.

what has been said by my colleague there remains but very little for me to say. In fact, General Hayes needs no second to name him as a nominee for President. Applause He is well known in Ohio; he is well known by tbe Republicans of Ohio, and respected by ail the Democracy of Ohio. and laughter He is a gentleman about whom nothing can be said to his discredit; a man who will ran without opposition; a man who will enter the field without the fear of any opposition whatever. We of Obio know him well.

He is not unknown in official life. He has occupied high and responsible official positions not only in the State, bnt in the nation, and in the whole period of his official life he has acquitted himself to the entire satisfaction of those who have placed him there. And one year ago, when the Republican flag seemed to be trailing, when the Republicans stood in the fear that their cause might temporarily be lost, he was tbe man that we put to bear the standard of this great State in face of the nation, when the eyes of the whole people were upon ns, looking at ns with the most intense anxiety. I need not tell you, in whatever portion of the United States yon reside, that the result ot this canvass cheered the hearts of Republicans in every part of the Union, and turned the tide of pan- va vuv vuivw, guh umiupu tuo uuu ui part tide pan- va vuv vuivw, guh umiupu tuo uuu ui victory against the Democracy. General Hayes has ever been a sound Republican, never deviating from his course when oth ers have fallen, and always abetting the cause of Republicanism, spending his fortune and his power and strength to promote its interests.

An nndeviatiag Republican in whom there was never mistrust, he stood by the Republican party in the blackest hour of our peril. He stood by it in council in peace, and he stood by our gnus in war, and we intend to stand by him as he stood by us. The chair introduced Mr, Gastavus W. James, of Missouri, who said: I raise my voice from the State of Missouri in support of the name of R. B.

Hayes, of Obio. While I would never say anght reflecting on the illustrious names that have been presented, yet I must say that in the present state and condition of the country it is the duty of the Republican party and this convention to reflect upon the selection of a standard-bearer. I will sav that in the nomination of B. Hayes, of Ohio, a response will be beard from not only the great valley of the Ohio, bnt the still greater valley of the Mississippi, that bas not been heard for many contests since the Republican party was organized. The man that has been known as the citizen-soldier and afterward so honored by the great State of Ohio, and thrice to have defeated the Democratic party, will assuredly fulfill all the expectations of the Republican party with regard to a presidential candidate.

When the State of Ohio rested under the cloud of defeat he was the only man to resene her. Give ns R. B. Haves, and, geni lernen of the convention, there will be a response of the whole element of the Republican partv, and a consolidation of the disaffected elements which I believe no other man can consolidate on the ticket. Yon would hear no more ol Liberal Republicans or of Reformers.

It would be a general rising of the Rapnblioan party upon its feet, and it would be the most triumphant victory sinoe the days of the illustrious and immortal Lincoln. Give as R. B. Hayes, the ehampion of honest money and popnlar education, and a shout will be raised throngh the land that no other candidate can cause. Give ns R.

B. Hayes. There is the candidate of the Republican party, and there in no such thing as defeat. J. W.

Davis, of West Virginia, was then introduced, and spoke as follows: Mr. President and heartily aeoond the nomination of the gentleman who has preceded me. The character of Governor Hayes is irreproachable and irrepreached. As a soldier he inspired enthnsiaem among his followers and respect among his foes. He has filled the highest offices of the legislative and executive, State and on every occasion he has been found equal to the situation which ho has filled.

A letter in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, written from the camp ot the Big Horn expedition, on Tongue river, at the month of Prairie Dog creek, Wyoming Territory, Jane 15, gives the following interesting sketch of the movements of General Crook against the aavages: Tbis expedition arrived here une 7, and went into camp on Tongue river, few miles sonth of the Montana border.

Until the day before yesterday no Indians had been seen by the command. Captain Van Vliet's detachment of the Third Cavalry that left Fetterman, May 27, to go to Powder river and meet the Crow Indians, joined the expedition at old Fort Reno on the Becond, and reported that no Crows had betn seen. Captain Meinhold, with two companies of the Third Cavalry, left the expedition May 30 at Sage Creek to soont the country for Indians, and returned on Powder river with the same result. On Jane 2 the guides Frank Graard, Louis Reichard and Baptiste, left the expedition for tbe Cio village to obtain Indian scouts, and have not since been heard from. It is feared they have been either killed or captured.

We arrived at old Fort Phil Kearney Jane 5, and at this camp two days later. A courier from Fort Fetterman arrived here yesterday bearing dispatches for General Crook. He reports 120 Indians on the way to join tbe expedition as scouts and guides, who will be here in a day or two. He also reports that 3000 warriors have lately left the agencies for the Crazy Horse village battle ground, to fight (frook, and that eight companies of the Fifth Cavalry have been ordered to the agencies. Five or six Indians approached tbits camp night before last, and from a half-breed obtained the information they wanted and went away.

Last evening about six o'clock a large war party, variously estimated at from fifty to 150 warriors, fired into the expedition from the bluffs on the north side of Tongue river and commanding the oamp. For about half an hoar the Indians, all of whom were well mounted and well armed with long range rifles, poured volley after volley into camp. Four confemiea of the Third Cavalry, I and under Lientenant Lawson, Captain Satorions, Captain Andrews, Lieutenant Foster, Lieutenant Paul and Lieutenant Sohwatka, all under Colonel Anson Mills, charged the hills where the Indians were concentrated, and, by aid of the skirmishers of the Second Cavalry and Ninth Infantry, dislodged them. Private Collins, Company Second Cavalry, and Sergeant Warfield, Company Third Cavalry, were slightly wonnded, and the Indians succeeded in killing several horses and mules. One Indian was killed and several severely wounded, but were conveyed from the field.

Private F. Tierney, of Company Tuird Cavalry, was accidentally 20 and died Jane 7 from the effect of his injuries. Gold was discovered in the bars and fiats on Crazy Women's Fork and Clear Fork by several miners accompanying the expedition. Color was panned out west of our trail and toward the Big Horn mountains.

It is claimed by old miners that there is gold in these creeks in paying quantities. The colors are coarse and 'easily saved. Tbe diggings are surface. The creeks have a fine head of water and a good lall, and valleys are quite broad. The Gm 4, Old English Language.

As a newly engaged commercial traveler was abont starting on a dramming trip from his plaoe in Chicago, the other day, he suddenly turned to bis employer, a grave old merchant, snd inquired: "I say, boss, what shall I do when 1 get ont of soap?" "Soap?" said the old gentleman, "why. save your samples, and then yon won't get ont." "Bat I mean what shall I do when I get out of grease," continued tne young man. "Grease? grease?" pondered'the old man, "why, you don't need any are not working for a lubricating "Ob, but you don't understand me," chimed in the youthinl employe, rather-em barrassed. "I mean what shall I do if I run ont of "Spondulix? stamps? wealth?" echoed the mystified merchant, looking at the young fellow over his glasses, to see if he bad gone crazy. "Yes, exclaimed the drummer; "cash, money, you know?" A light seemed to dawn on the old gentleman's mind at this moment, for gazing upon the creature before him with a look of contempt and pity, he broke forth: "Young man, what are yon giving us? I rather guess you needn't go out, for I don't believe our class of customers oould get along very well with all speak English.

Pull down your vest, step up'to the cash ier's desk and get your sugar. How cheese it, cully, you're bounced." And that is the way the high toned kid got through the pernicious habit of slinging slang Enquirer. Treachery of a Duelist. A melancholy action is being 'lied'in Paris. It will he remembered that after the recent duel at Longwy, which resulted in the death ot M.

Olivier, one of the it was stated by the snrgeon in attendanoe and the mayor of Longwy, that a considerable part of the body of the deceased was protected by a broad steel girdle, The snrgeon added that the girdle in question was unlike anything ot the kind with which he was acquainted; and, farther, that M. Olivier suffered from co infirmity which would account for the presenoe of each an article. The inference was more derogatory to the memory of the dead as M. Olivier was a professional duelist, the encounter in whioh he lost bis life being the eighth in which he bad appeared as principal On the facts being published, the mother of the deceased laid the blame upon M. Lafenilhrade, her late son's antagonist, and sent a letter to several of tbe newspapers upbraiding bim with traducing the memory ot the man he had slain.

M. Lafenilhrade felt compelled tm respond by publishing a letter whmh he hid received a month earlier from the two seconds of M. Olivier, in whioh these gentlemen stated that they were forced to ooofess, after the expose referred to, that their principal had been gnilty of treachery and felony. On the publication of this letter Madame Olivier has based an notion for defamation of the charaoter of her son. In the trial the advocate for the defendant has expressed the sympathy of his olient, Lafenilhrade, with tbe bereaved mother, and has forborne insisting on the results of the inquiry made by the surgeon and the mayor, contenting himatdl with merely pleading that the mother of the deceased has no legal right to bring such an aotion.

The point is a curious one in law, and the tribunal has reserved its decision for a week. Leave of absence for sixty days baa been granted to S. P. Henry, parish jadge ef Cameron. BY TELEGRAPH CONGRESS.
