NEW YORKISMS.

Yk Pat k, Keos ! Right.
So ttsuj bomiclde hare lately occurrel here
that the newspapers and Police Court expect
abort! to chronicle the old average of murder
a, day. Bat these mainly occur In the low lairer
beer saloons, or are the offspring of atroet
brawls, and almost never committed where one
Would look for them, wlthla the dark patllea
Of the parks which are met with at Intervals
throughout the city. In fact, these parks, of
Which I propose to say a few words, are in the
main orderly places, at lea-t upon the surface.
Whatever disorderliurss may reign tbere it
manifested only at such times as the
detectives are believed to be absent
and the regular uniformed patrolman is sure to
bo. Whatever vajtabouds or demireps resort
tbere keep their purposes privately to them
eelyes, or reveal them enly to those whom a sort
of mgftoatlsm In evil Induces them to believe are
willing to become partner?. Day and night the
light in the parks, when the weather Is flue, U
instructive eo far as the knowledge of that class
of human nature which loafs is concerned. Day
and night men, women, and youths occupy tbe
eiBggcrated toad-stools which represent the
last attainable point of excellence in public
eats, and bak in tbe sun light cr the gas liaht
as though tbe loafing-world bad re solve 1 itself
Into one vast sitting-match, tbe sole ambition o
each of whose members was to out-sit all the
others.
The principal of tbe?e Parks are fouriu num
ber, viz.. City Hall, Washington, Uuion, and
Madison. City Hall Park is triangular in form
and bounded by Broadway on tbe West, Cham
bers street on tbe north, and Park Kowand
Centre street on tbe southeast. Its area is teu
acres, and it includes within its limits the old
and new City Halls, and one of tbe largest
fountains (when it is goinc) in the country, the
circumference of tbe basin being tbree hundred
feet. The jets are lotus-shaped, tbe rim Is of
white marble, and tb usual green garniture of
shrubs shrouded in leaves, invite the attention
of tbe boot-blacks, who make this locality their
headquarters. Long years ago, beyond the
memory, I suspect, of any who will read this,
City Hall Park used to be known as the FielJs
or Commons. Military drills were personnel
there, and between tbe Brick Church
and Broadway the first brUade of the
American army heard the Declaration of Inde
pendence read, July 9, 1776. Tiie new Post
Office will occupy the southern end of it. At
present a very little grass and a good deal of
gravel are to be seen. Newsboys and bootblacks
gather on the steps of the City Hall and around
the fountain, as thick as quails, so that it be
comes dangerous for a man who loves quictne-s
to walk through those parts witbout shoes or
boots on polished up to a dcerce ol splendor
which the shining face of a colored Moses, fresh
from the Mount, would be dull be ide. Tbe
bootblacks ot the Park are of an eminently con
fiding and convivial nature. Tbe one with whom
I last had the pleasure of conversing, Informed
me on tbe first moment of our acquaintance
that he always dined at Del monlco's when be
came to the city, and that bis favorite repast
consisted of boot-leg coffee aud double-breastod
doughnuts.
The boundaries of this park Chambers streetf
Centre street, Park How, and Broadway are at
present the most bewildering blocks that I
know of in the city. In tbe first place, Broad
way is being repaved, and tbe pavers are just
In tbe middle of their wjrk, between the Astor
House and Centre street. Tae route of all the
stages coming downwards is thus forced into
Chambers street, Centre street, Park Bow, aud
tbe tangle of small streets adjacent. The
large space immediately opposite the Astor
House, and at the southern angle of the park,
has long been used as the rendezvous for the
horse-cars from Yoikville, Harlem, and the
routes along the avenues n the eastern side of
the city. Hence, what with tbe hubbub of tbe
pavers on tbe one side, aud, on the other, the
Intermingling of tbe wheel -groans of
the stages, and the bell-jiuglings of the
horse cars, and the oa'.h of the
respective drivers and conductors cf both, and
the shrill cries of the newsboys (selling the
News sometimes, at the seductive bargain of
'two for a cent'), aud the jabbering Billings
gate oi' the women who vend raspberry-juiced
lemonade and penny ballads, to say nothing of
the roar-crested breakers of sound that perputu
ally come surging up from beneath Fulton
street bridge that metropolitan maelstrom
what with all these, I say, the vicinity of City
Hall Park, during the busy hours of the day, is
far from being a 6wect boon to a quiet man.
Each of these four parks which I have men
tioned has its characteristic;. Washington
Park, formerly known as tbe Potter's Field, is
one ot tbe largest in tbe city, its area being
nine and three-quarter acres. It is well
shaded, well fouutained, lies in front of tbe
New York University, and is bounded by W'a
vtrly Place, and McDougal, Fourth, and Woos-
ter streets. While used as a Potter's Field
more than 125,000 bodies were buried tbere, and
now tbat its function in that departments over,
it is almost as quiet as though its few visitors
had voluntarily buried themselves alive, aud
each toad-stool bad become tbe synecdoche
for one of those catalepsy coffins which
the morbid invention of Ejgar Allen
Poe somewhere alludes to. Too walks are
being regraded and reshaded. Sometimes a boy
wv 111 troll his hoop or guide h's velocipe le there,
but not often. For some cause or other, it ap
pears to be dangerous for a respectable man, or
more particularly a repcctublo woman to be
seated lu this Park at a late hour at night, and
there are imaginable circumstances which
would explain even a respectable woman's per
forming so anomalous an act. Duly i
short while ago oue of the police
men Ftationed there was reprimanded for
officially interfering with an inoffensive
W( man who was guilty of no preater crime than
that of resting at a very late hour of the night
on one of the circular steps which beautify this
Tark. The officer's defense was that all he did
was to warn the woman against the thieves and
other improper characters which infested the
grounds at that hour; but as nothlug was known
agalnbther, and she seemed quite able to take
care of herself, the police justice bullied tho sub'
ordinate, and the subordinate simmered down
But this cae is nothing compared to the atrocity
enacted not long ago at Tompkins' Parade
Cround, a small insignificant piece of ground lu
the eastern part of the city, between Sixth aud
Tenth streets, and Avenues A and Ii. One
morning last week, a young woman, with her
piutiglci Lead wrapped in her blood-soaked
shawl, was broua, u P befora the Em Market
Pohce Com t. Her oh offcn8e PDcre1 to that
of occupying a seat .'n Tompkins Parade
Groond, and her skull h. been ,ald bare- n1
smsshed in, until the b, d ushed forth lu
torrents, by a police brute, ,"ho "me I have
not been able to loam, but wht.' hA uken tbl9
means of expressing his opinion 'DRt the Por
thina had gone thither with an lnVrPer Pur
pre. This b a proof that some of the o'lcemen
who "protect1 the parks are worse thao 8DJ 01
the poor wretches whom they arrest. " '
seldom Indeed jou see a victim dragged up be
fore a police justice's bench whoie strcnth Is
equal to that of the blue-flanosled beast tbat
arrested bim, or bad enough greenbacks about
him to match with the blue flannel.
Union Park is an extensive oval green, beau
tifully laid out, with a large fountain in the
centte, and abounding in straight and serpentine
walks. It is the best shaded park in the city.
One of the most pleasing of its adjuncts is Mr.
II. E. Brown's (or Brooklyn) $30,000 statue of
Washington, cast in bronze, four tons in weight,
wtnty-e ght feet bih (Including the pedestal
on which it stands), and erected a few rods east
of the pa. k in tbe centre of tbe triangular space
formtd by tbe intersection of Fourth avenue
nd Fourteenth street. The Park itself is
bounded by Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets,
Fourth avenue, and University place. At most
hours of the nicht and day it is more frequented
by casual visitors than any of the other parks.
Around tbe central fountain and along some of
toe long circular walks, wooden benches are
stretched, and upon these sleepers, usually of
thelowvr orders, may be found at any hour
after nrdn'ght. (sometimes, however, the sleeper
is will-dressed aud bears all tbe outward marks
cf a gentleman, and in this case he is not un
frequeutlj reminded by the policeman that it is
lime to move oa and be going home. Here the
people who live in tenement houses come of the
warm nights to find out whether the grass con
tiuuesto be green, and if the air loves most to
grow cool where high-branched trees and open
paces are. Few women of the town plv their
profession here. St II, police returns do not fall
to show that assignations of an improper kind
are made both within and around the park, and
tbat cases, the trails of which have been scented
for months, have been settled by moral-nosed
detectives, and the culprits packed off to Black-
well's Island, or whatever other rural reforma
tory their virtues may have entitled them to,
with but few questions being asked, and to
defense accepted.
Tbe peculiarity of Madison Square, situated
between Filth Avenue and Madison Avenue and
Twenty-tbird and Twenty-sixth streets, seems
to be tbe number of nurse-maids who delight
to take their swaddling-clothed charges there
from tbe white marble hotel and the brown
stone mansions which, give a distinguished
flavor to the locality. Madison Square ha no
fountain, but it is better lit than the others
and is supplied with an abundance of broad
walks. The loafing element is less predominant
here than at the other parks, aud the profes
sional loungers abound most along the dark
lengths of the Madison Square side, which,
strange to say, is worse lit than the others.
Walks were flist laid out in Madison Square and
trees planted, as late back as 1815, and if the
quantity of shade within the park durlug the
day time were only equal to the quantity of
gaslight during tbe night, I am sure that every
stool not occupied by a nur.-e would bo occupied
by a baby, so tbat tbe caual visitor would be
in imminent danger of finding himself no
where.
I should have added, in its place, that one
great feature of tbe Paik on Fourteenth street
and edging around to University Placo on tbe
one side, and Fourth avenue on the other, is
the presence of a large number of drivers of
"one-horse shays," whoso prime principle ap-
peats to be that every male pedestrian out at
and alter midnight is, or ought to be drunk.
After painfally trailing up from the Broadway
Thea're, Niblo's, the Olympic, Kelly fc Leon's,
and Waliack's, tbey instal themselves In these
the daikest parts of the surroundings of Union
Paik, and hail gentlemen on their way home
I think: I mentioned in a former letter the insti
tution known as the "Drunkard's Cabs." Those
at Union Park are the droppings off of that in
stitution; and the wine-flushed gentleman who
has been belated at Delmouico's may esteea
himself .fortunate if he escapes the driver's
LaLds. Ali Baba.

The New Orleaes Bepubacan of Sunday last
say?:
In St. Landry parish, between tho first and
tenth of July, ueur Grand Coteau, u band of
men tnsguiseu urea into a nouse wnere colored
people were assembled at a party, killing one
woman aud two men aud wounding three others.
Parueu luily ideulilicd bj some of the colored
people were arreted and examined beiore a
jubtice ot the peace; but they conveniently
pro teu au "aitui" ana were discharged, in
Latayette parish, about the same time, a colored
man who hud testified in court against a white
man was called out ot his house
at night by a party of four white
men, who were known to him, and told
by them that he must go to Vermillion ville
aiid testify iu the same case, because his testi
mony at Abbeville was good lor nothing. They
took another colored man along with them and
went about forty yards lioru the bouse, when
tbey shot at boih the colored men. One of
them was killed. Tbe other was wounded, but
efcuped. Tbe wounded man identitied the par
tics, one ot whom has been arres'.ed and hold to
bail to await trial, not on the charge ot murder,
but on i he less serious charge ol "intent to
kill." He being at large, of com ?e advises tho
oiher three desperadoes to keep out of the way
till the excitement is over.
In Donaldsonville on Thursday last a colored
man, titling in his own cabin, was approached
by a mftsman, who pointed a revolver at him,
and asked bim it' be was afiaid ol tbat. Tbe
coloitd man icplied he was not, whereupon toe
talisman aked him to come outside. He did
so, aud the raftsman again potuted the revolver
at hun, and again asked: "Are you atraid of
that ?" He replied tbat he was nor. '1 be rufis
mau then excluimed, "G d d n you, then,
take tLat 1" and shot him through the left shoul
der, fortunately inflicting ouly a flesh wound.
The raftsman was arrested aud ttken before
J until e Dubois, of tbe Second Ward. When
at-krdwhat be committed tbe deed for, he re
plied, "He is a d d nigeer I" Tbe Justice
remanded him to jail for appearance txofoie tbe
DiHirict Court, Judge B' auvais.
The New Altiauy (lnd.) Commercial of last
Tuesday sajs:- It open and armed resistance to
and vilation of law cousiitu'.e revolution, thou
tbeie is a revolution now in proirross in Jack
ton couLty; tor in tbat county law has been
tpiirncd and Justice defied by au armed mob of
two or three hundred men, whoso a U of vio
lence in tbe pusi niue or ten months hive boeu
ot the moht rlaenuit and aiur terous tliuracter.
In no o' her ptrtof the West lim the I w ever
been to inoultmuly deded. In December list
two men, uouubcd oi cinuo, weic taken out ol
the Browutton jail by a n.b and hauged.
Kcccutiy a portion of this sumo mob weui to
the reMdence of an old man near Rockford. who
bad fallen under tbeir suspicion, took him from
bis bed, hanged him np and cut htm down
three different times in order to extort a confes
sion from bim, and the last time he was cut
down they left hint in a state ot stupor from
wh ch be never recovered, but died lu half an
hour alter his barbarous tortursrs left his pro
mires. The Jackson County Mob hat a regular or
ganization. We are told tbat it is composed ot
three "rings" or distinct clann. The Inner
"ring" Is the one tbat se'ecli the victim, and
Easfcs speedy sentence upon tliem, without,
owever, arraigntug them or examining their
side ot the q iesiion. These are the "dtar
Chamber" cbap -the bloodiest villains ol tbem
all. The second "ring" is composed of th
.executioners the men who setz the victims,
I a. st. n tbe ropes around their necks, and then
drawlbemup and leave tbem supended Iroru
the limb of a tree, The third "ring" is made
ot "cJaquerj," fellows of the baiersort, who
do the pasina and blowing for tbe am and
second "rings," ' set up" jobs f. r them, and
swear roundly that all they do Is right. It
ts Bald tbat tbe inner "l1nt,, of this mib is
composed of the best citizen of Jackson
county. If this be true. God nitv th inni.
Tbe idea of a good citizen engaging in wholesale
muroer is periectiv nreoosterjue. The idea nr
good citizen eneaeing in the most flagrant viola-
iK iia oi iaw inoeeo, utterly seittmr the law at
defiance Is absurd. Toe men engaged iu this
moo are murderers noihine more, and no hmg
leu. Tbere Is no telling where the outrages ot
ibis bloody mob may end. On Friday it prosti
tuted the telegraph wlies to its DurDoses. and in
a long uespa cn to tho Associated Press most
scandalously libelled Hon. Jason B. Brown, of
urownsion. D' cause as an attorney ne accented

A correspondent at Brownsville. Trnn.. savst
"Formerly there were a pood many while
Republicans in Haywood county, but a number
save gone away. The active Kcoublicana now
are tbe Wionelds, Mr. Poston, Mr. Nunn, and a
tew oiners. ur me wnites in isrownsvl in a
large majority are bitter, well-meanwir, preju.
oioeu conservatives, wn aian'i want radicals to
come among them. A great mauy of them are
Ku-Klux, and their secret organization has
completely coned tbe wbite radicals and terriQed
the negroes. Unless ihere are United SUtes
troops sent here or State militia, to give some
protection, not one negro in a hundred will daro
to vote.
"So scared are the negroes that they did not
this year dire to celebrate the hrt ot August.
Many of the disfranchised swear tbat tbey (tbe
disfranchised) will vote at the Presidential elec
tion if anybody else does, or will die. The black
and white radicals of Hayood county are very
apprehensive of another civil war. Time will
show whether they have cause. Tbat any con
siderable body of the Southern pcoplj want
another war with tbe Federal Government is
not tbe fact, but tbere is a large number who
are determined to drive out or scare away white
radicals, and crush the negro back toward
slavery. They think this would be for bis good
and their own. Tbey will certainly try to carry
out their purposes, and there is very ureat dan
ger tbat anarchy and bloody civil war may re
sult. They a.e in all parts of Tennessee trying
to scare away white radicals and terrorizing
