Negroes vs. Whites.
The negroes of New Orleans seem to
have been instigated to provoke fresh
difficulties with the whites. Not only
have they made disturbances in attempt-
ing to force their children into the public
schools of the whites, but they enter ice
cream saloons and insolently demand to
be waited upon like the white ladies and
gentlemen, for whose accommodation the
establishments are kept. It would appear
that some fresh pretext is desired for a
collision between the races in that city.
It may be, however, that speculation is
the only object, as suits are brought
against those wh© refuse to comply with
the demands of the Fifteenth Amend-
ment. The jury in the case of Larieu
(negro) vs. Col. Dumonteil, claiming 5,000
dollars damages for not being entertained
at the confectionery of the latter, after
being locked up all uight failed to agree,
and were discharged, It is stated that
they stood equally divided, five blacks
and one white being for the plaintiff, and
six whites for the defendant, An entire

Bobbery of Collector Kearney.
The following statement of the late
robbery of Collector Kearney has been
furnished us by Colonel 13. J). Dawson,
of this city, Supervising Agent of Cus-
toms for this District. It gives inter-
esting particulars additional to those
! which we have already published:
Robbery of Collector Dr. Thomas Kear-
ney, of Corpus Christi District, by his
Escort, or Soldier Guard.
This robbery occured on tlie morn-
ing of the sixth of May, at or near
Eanclie Kandado, sixty-five miles out
from Rio Grande city. It seems that
the Collector had all confidence in his
guard, and for that reason was not so
watchful as he otherwise would have
been, and was sitting, at the time of
the robbery on the chest containing
the silver smoking a cigar, with his
pistol lying on the rear seat in the
ambulance, when suddenly John Jack-
son, one of the guard, readied out his
arm and took from the seat the Col-
lector's pistol, and at the same time
presented his cocked carbine at the
Collector's head, and demanded the
government money, and that the Col-
lector should get out d—m quick.
The Collector told him to go away
with his gun, but Jackson insisted 011
liis quitting the ambulance instantly.
Seeing; that the guard was in earnest,
