vention under Special Orders No. 119,
Col. Brooks is one ofou newly enfran-
chised citizens, as black and slick as

careful survey of the field, and the
iron-clad materials in it, we are not op.
posed to Brooks, but will hurrah fol
him Justify, but not disloyaly! Ourrea-
ders must know that we have strenuous
ly opposed the contemplated elevation
of the black and hecorresponding deg.
radiation of the white race. But we are
free to admit that as this infamy has
been forced upon us by the Radical Con.
gress, Radical adventures, Radical Sat.
raps and mean whites of Southern ex-
traction, we will and do prefer the
blacklist man that can be found to the
whitest renegades Of the South and the
palest pimps of the North. We arc
not singular in this determination, but
believe it to be the unanimous senti-
ment of those who hate the jugglery o.
little minds and the tricks of paltry
busy bodies; who scorn to act lie with
even the lowest creation; who prefer an
honorable retirement to ignoble Office

Piling It On.

From the following article taken
from the New Orleans Times, it would
seem that the Registrars are taking
good advantage Of the powers conferred
on them by "1l9:"
We should think that a vote ofover two
to one in this State ought to satisfy the
Radicals, and that result which gave to q
fifth of the population Of New Orleans who
had the good fortune, politically, to be Of
the colored complexion. its political con-
troll, might make our masters" quite easy
and confident in their situation, and save
them the trouble, if not the discredt, or
revising the registration by cutting off, as
is reported, about $500 names, exclusively
Of the white class. But the idea is to make
sure work Of it, and the most active and
earnest scrutiny is kept up to discover what
are coolly construed to be false or fraudu-
lent registrations, and erase them from the
list This is done under the suggestion and
by the advice and direction Of set Of
political managers and detectives, not con-
nected with the Government or the militia
~ authority, but who have been small
partisan tricksters and Office beggars around
this city for many years. These trifing
fellows manage to have struck from the
registration scores of the best citizens of
New Orleans, who have had no other
notice ofthis summary adjudication Of their
most valuable civil right than a small
printed slip informing them that their
names have been struck from the list.
These men, who have passed their lives
here for quarter or half a century, have
reared families, and contributed SO greatly
to the wealth and prosperity Of our city
are virtually adjudged aud pronounced
perjurers aud fraudulent yiolators Of the law
without charge or hearing, but on the
suggestion and information Of class Of
persons, whose dispositions would not be
received by any respectable magistrate as
sufficient ground for committal for petty
larceny. Such are the repairers Of "the
macadamized road to perjury" which 50
much disturbed the imagination Of Gen
| Sheridan.

rally the following sensible and knock
down argument. We endorse every word

The time is at hand when the white .fnan
must give as we'll as receive blows. Those
who are not for us are against us, and
should be met and treated as foes. The
whites in Rapides and in Alexandra are
getting tired Of hiring and paying good
wages to niggers, and in return having
them as spies and reporters of all that oc-
ours on their premises, and never failing to
retail all to the dirty clubs, called Republi-
can. Most Of the money thus paid goes to
these clubs and the low bred white scullions
who control them. We know that our

course has been pursued by the adherents
of political parties toward their opponents
ever since parties existed. It is no new
thing in American social life for even mem
bers Of the Same family to prescribe each
other on account Of differences in political
opinions. We have oil seen such cases, OF
some nearly allied. Wings sent for Whia
doctors and consulted Wing lawyers, and
the Democrats were equally as obstinate

undergone no change; and 30, even now

A Newand Grand EpoChin Medicine,

Dr. Maggiel is the founder Of new
Medical System! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or so of his
wonderful and all healing Salve. These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrums of
the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's
Pills aud Salve have opened the eyes of
the public to the ineficiency Of the $50
called) remedies of others, and upon which
people have SO long blindly depended
Magglels Pills are not Of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and Of which eve
ry box full taken creates an absolute me-
cessity for another. One or two of Mag
gels Pills suffice to place the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, Great
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyant! There is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form Of constipation. II
the liver is effected, its functions are re-
stored; and if the nervous system is feeble,
u 4
it is invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
of delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptive
diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power Of Maggiels Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAGGIEL's
BILIous, DYsPEPTIc AND DIARRHEA Pitts
cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all
abrasions of the skin MAGG1EL's SALvE is
