NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 49, 1858

smiling beam from the Fathers eye ex-
hailed it to wait around the throne sweet
incense forever.
Not only did the mother linger, but her
health so far recovered that she was about
all day; and Tallula thought her well. Al
most every hour was devoted to teaching
and training Tallula, for she felt that she
had great deal to do for her in short
time. But, oh, how thankful she was that
God had once more placed her in a condi-
tion to devote herself to the one being so
precious to her. And, oh, how hallowed
to her heart was their quiet, sweet com.
munion He, who drunkard and gam
bier, had broken her heart, ruined her
health, and brought her to such abject
poverty, had died six months before. And
there were no more drunken oaths, horri-
BILE curses, or brutal abuse to blast her
soul and fall mildew and blight upon the
infant life more dear to her by far than her
own existence.
Little Tallula developed as rapidly as a
housed plant when first brought forth in the
sunlighs dew, and warm rain. Her mind,
quickened by suffering, now that the press
ure was removed from heart and brain,
caught knowledge as if by intitution.
And TIE lights and flashes which sparkled
out from her black eyes as she received a
new idea or strange knowledge made
her perfectly brilliant, and thrilled
her mothers proud heart with joy. These
two opened up fresh well spring of pleas
ure to the world-sick heart of Harry Cham
berlain. He had never met with any like
them, and they always entertained and in
terested him. Bot their joy was now com
plete; he could do no more for them, so he
placed in bank sufficient sum for their
wants for five years, and took Tallula down
and introduced her as the person who would
draw it monthly. Then all things ready
for his departure to Europe, he bent his
steps to the little cottage for the last even
ing. Consumption had taken a firm hold
upon the brittle thread of life within Mrs,
Bayard's delicate frame it was very slow
in its ravages. and she might live for years,
or some sudden change might take her of
in few months, So Harry had informed
her that upon this evening he wished to
talk with her Of Tallula's future, and that it
would be well for the child not to hear the
conversation. And now as he slowly

was puzzling itself as to what the interest
was which so filed his heart for mother and

for the Highest Omces-Prudenee Ad-
vIsed by Prominent WepublIcans-
Dangers Threatening Permanent En-
franehlsement-AH Misrepresentation a
DistInsuished COlOred lecturer.
Especial Correspondence Of the Republican,
WASHINGTON, January IL, 1868.
Deep interest is felt by the majority of
congress in reference to the Louisiana con-
vention and its results. While convinced
that the convention will frame a constitution
embodying the most liberal and progress
i've principles, and satisfied that its ratifica-
ton by the people is certain, the more
prominent members both Of the senate and
house, whose integrity and fidelity to the
Republican party can not be and
never have been questioned, ex-
press an anxiety lest there
should be some imprudence in the nOmina-
tious for state and national officers. They
reason that if any mistake shall he made by
placing in positions of extreme prominence
men whose tenure Of suffrage depends
wholly on the success of the Republican
organization in the coming national cleo
ton, that success will be thereby endan-
gered. Prudence they urge until the per-
manent enfranohisement of the race that has
hitherto possessed no political rights shall
be secured. For if the Democratic party
should triumph in the next presidential CON
test, all political rights will be wrested
from those who have just begun to enjoy
them.
They reason, further, that four years oi
experience under this new franchise, if ex-
treme prudence is exercised in its com.
mencement, will conquer all prejudices
whether in Mississippi or Ohio, against itl
continuation forever. To the eolored peo.
pie Of the South, then, the question pending
is most momentous That they will fully
appreciate the situation, and SO guide theiI
action AS to merit aud win success, those
who know them well, have resided among
them, and understand their views, enter
tain no doubt.
1t can not be denied that much misappre
hsnsion exists at tine North in reference tC
the eolOred delegates who compose the con
ventions that are framing constitutions fol
the Southern states. The Southern CORE.
spondents of many of the Northern papers
have misrepresented and ridicnled thes,
delegates, as possessing little intelligenc,
and no education. Unfortunately the asso
ciated press has not done full justice to thC
character Of the delegates referred to, and
false impressions have been created which
need time to eradicate.

9 ANOTHER VILE ISLANDER. =,

Under the above heading our neighbor
in Exchange alley comments upon and
quotes an article in the Cincinnati Colored
Citizen, purporting to have been written
by New Orleans correspondent.
A brief notice Of the article referred to
was published in the REPUBLICAN, but it
was written by reporter who did not
himself read all of the article, and it was
not seen by us until after its publication.
OF course the attempt to hold the Radi-
cal Republican party responsible for the
articles of newspaper correspondents is
simply absurd, but about the article refer
red to we have something to say. 1t is
always wrong to hold a class Of citizens
responsible for the acts and shortcomings
Of part of that class While the structures
in the Colored Citizen apply with full force
to few of the quadroon citizens of Louis
lana, it is equally true that large number
are among our best, our more influential,
and our more patriotic citizens.
The quotation which purports to be a
part of a speech of the Hon. o. j. Dunn
is wholly untrue. Mr.. Dunn never
uttered, nor does he entertain such
sentiments; and this is we'll known, not
only to the editor of the Tribune, but to
every one at all familiar with our future
lieutenant governor.
1t would be strange, indeed, and no sane
man 'oM belieUe that he could or would thus
speak or feel toward the very class of citi-
zens to which he himself belongs
The fact is, the gentlemen on the
state ticket have done every thing pos
sible, and more than duty required,
to coneiliate the little faction which ad-
heres to the Tribune, while that paper has
done everything possible to make and en-
courage divisions in the party. The belt
ing from the nominations of the state con-
vention was the act of but a small and ua-
influential clique, half of whom were dis
appointed white ofiice-seekers, while the
more wealthy and intelligent creoles of
Louisiana are members of the Radical
Republican party, and will properly and
necessarily take active parts and high posi-
ttons in the reconstruction and regeneration
of the state.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-03-22

voters. These states were, in 1860, entitled
to thirty-seven electoral votes.
In the following states the registration
shows majority of colored voters:
Louisiana, entitled in 1860 to six cleo
toral votes, has 81 ,43l colored and 5,199
white registered voters Mississippi, with
seven electoral votes, has 60,lG7 cOlored
and 46,636 white registered voters Ala
bama, with nine electoral votes, has 49, 43
colored and 72,74S white registered voters ;
South Carolina, with eight electoral votes,
has S0.2S6 colored and 47,0l0 white regis
tered voters Florida, with three electoral
votes, has Is, 434 colored and ll,l4S white
registered voters. These states were, in
1860, entitled to thirty three electoral
votes.
If the electoral votes are apportioned in
1868 as they were in 1860 it will thus be
seen that the registered white or disloyal
element have it in their power, if the ten
reconstructed states can vote in the presi'
dental election to choose four more Presi'
Dental electors than the loyal ma
jorities in these same states can
elect. This presentation of the ques
ton shows most conclusively that the Re
publicans of the North in and out of con
gress were actuated by no selfish political
considerations in providing that the states
lately in rebellion might be resdmittet
into the Union and entitled to representa-
ton in congress on the conditions and
terms of the reconstruction acts. The sole
object was, not the perpetuation of the
power of the Republican party Of the
United States, but the establishment of the
principle that loyal men, of whatever
coler or race, are entitled to the right o
suffrage and all other political rights in the
states that were plunged into wicked re
bellien against the best government the
world ever saw.
