Every One TO His Taste,


Mr.. G. w. KENDALL is at Paris, whence
he writes long letters TO the Neac- Orleans Pic
ayune. 1t is The fortune Of Mr.. Kendall to
see everything belonging to the movement in
Europe in the most alarming light. For him
a Frenchman is a thing far inferior 10 an A
merican, a Socialist is a cannlbal, and a Dem
.ocIat a thing Of horror. His letters for their
spirit would do credit TO the London Post or
even TO the Journal If 81. PeiersJurgh. Not
only do they hold up the struggles Of the
People for The attainment Of social justice and
equality and the guaranty Of Education and
Employment TO every worker as contempti-
BILE folly, but they repeat and gloat over the
silly and incredible stories set afloat against
the Socialist Democrats. Nothing is devised
with too base a cunning in favor Of respecta-
BILE and long-slaLding wrongs; no calumny
on the TeformeTs is loo mean, too foul or too
ridiculous to be served up in the Picayune
by lie editorial correspondent. We do not
complain of this Mr., h. probably under
stands what sort of wares are suited TO his
market, and is enabled by his peculiar con-
~viciions TO supply them every one 10 his
taste.
A striking Illustration Of the skill with
which MIR. X. ~acco.nplishes his function is
contained in his letter OF May 3, in which he
speaks Of Lousy MATHEW, a member of the
FreLch Assembly from the colony of Martin
ique. The French Republic, it is known,
does not possess that distinguished intelli-
gence and humanity which prevails in Lou
Isiana and some other quarters, and OF which
there are relics evenln the great State Of New
York; indeed, it is doubted whether France
und erstands republican first principles at all.
AS a proof OF this ignorance, she has not on.
ly decreed that there shall be no Slavery in
her territories, but has even admitted black
men TO equal political privileges with white
ones. Ia consequence, The French Assembly
contains members whose complexion is too
dark for RepGbiicanism as undt al New
Orleans. One OF these is LOUSY Malhieu,
Of whom Mr.. Kendall writes as follows, ma
king the lrlfllng blunder Of getting his nam,
out Of joint:
"Among the individuals who have been
arrested in the neighborhood of the Porte ST
Denis within the past week, along with hun
dreds If others, you will notice the names o.
three representatives Of the people, Messrs
.Doutre, 1ouin, and Mathicu LOUSY. The
last named is one of the members from Mar
Unique or Guadalupe, and is as black a ne
gro as ever came from the hottest par, Of lht
coast Of Guinea. All accounts would go Il
prove that the representatives were all rattle
roughly handled by the ~police-Jouin an(
the colored gentleman from The colonies il
Particular-and on Monday, from .ae tIlbun,
OF the National Assembly, they were loud il
their complaints Of the indignities ofIeret
them. When LOUSY entered the tribune, a
II was his first appearance there, the creates
curiosity was excited TO hear what he had Il
say-nciiher Lamartine nor Cavaignac, on
personal matter, would have been more eager
ly listened 10. His complaint was delivered
in Negro French, which, when rendered int
negro English, may be set down as follows
neither the language or the spirit MATERIAL,

and de Porte 81. Martin, | does, and when

"This latter ejaculation, which was give
with all the force of Ethiopian surprise an,
indignation, threw the entire chamber int
commissions Of laughter, much TO the surprise
without doubt, Of the gentleman from Martin
ique, who could not see why this forcible ex
preston of his honest indignation could caus
such meTIiment."
In this story there are several mistakes, no
TO call them by a harder name. In the frs
place, Matthew has spoken before and spoke
well. In the second place, he speaks as goo,
French as MIR. Kendall does English. w
happen 10 be personally informed on thi
point. Mr.. Mathieu, though a negro, is
person of good education, gentlemanly man
neTs and good sense. and is received in soci
ETY. in unenlightened Paris 10 which Mr.. Ker
dali or any other gentleman might be glad I
be admitted. With regard 10 his speech o
this occasion, the Journal des Debdis, a paPe
