IN I'm VI.

Died, yesterday, April 9th. of irgratl-
tude and exhaustion, the New Orleans Trt-
buno. The consistent and right thinking
portion ofthe community cannot help feel
ing a certain pang of regret at the snspen-
sion Of this only organ ofthe colorcd people
i'll the South, exclusively owned, controlled
and supported by themselves. 1t is, how
ever, merely the first lesson in the long
chapter ct misplaced confidence which the
race, whose interests it SO calamity advoca-
ted, i, destined to learn. Established at the
very inclpienoy Of colorcd citizenship, at It's
feet all the wandering car~pet-baggcrs first
abaSed themselves. They licked the very
latchcts of its shoes, until the spoils of Of
flee came from the dim perspective int"
reach. Then, o base ingratitude! how sci
fish instincts t%riumphrd! Not a dollar was
to be won, but they had a pocket ready.
For the first ripe plunis that tell-,he State
and city ~printins-the Unsuitable carpet
bag yawned in the shape Of a newlv-estab-
lishel rival journal.
Wherever afterwards any pecuElary har-
vest was to be reaped there was no room
for the IriJunes sickle. The vagabond ad-
venturers of St. Charles street and the in
sinuating blade of a lypocriticul white
preacher monopolized the field. Still, III
the face of this injustice, the Tribune bat
tied nobly. Never blind either to the char
acters or professions of the vultnrcs who
betrayed its people, it labored manfLlly
but, alas, unsucccssfully, in what it deemed
an honest cause. Its error was not OF the
heart but of The head. 1t aimed at the i'm
practicable. The race it endeavOred to
counsel DULY knew control. With them
reason was Of no avail; it was simply a
change of allegiance. True to their natural
instincts, the Tribune was powerless in
teaching them to lead when the were only
born to follow. This was its great error !;
this the rock upon which its hopes We're
wrecked. 1t only survived long enough to
see its owe people basely and ANONYMOUSLY
desert it for the banner of unknown and
unprincipled adventures. The victim OF
ingratitude it died from the neglect of those
it worked to benefit.
The lesson is trite and conclusive, and
the Tribune editors, we regret to say, have
learned it TO their cost. The white race
must rule in the white mans country, and
the negroes will soon learn to their cost
that when they transferred their allegiance
from their old white friends to others more
nnprincipled and inimical to their interests,
they will be treated in return, AS in this in
stance, solely with c%ontumely and contempt.
The Tribune was honest and sincere but
entirely impractical. 1t strove to grasp the
sum-, and, gazing ever upward, fell into the
ditch. Whether any good Samaritan will
yet appear to raise it from the slough of
despond and pour oil into its bleeding
wounds, time alone will determine. Bu:,
should such an one wander by, we feel as
sured he will not be alien to the soil, nor to
the true interests of the South.-N. 0.

Editor Opelousas Journal,

DELLEf Ohs 1Apth S-o, Aooo'
Editor Opelousas journal,
Sir-"Subscriber" would not have made
any reply to Mr.. ]. G. Compton's misstate-
ment had not special attention been called
to it in your editorial column. In justice,
therefore, to himself he asks that you give
this a place in your excellent journal.
Mr.. Compton says the real name of Sub
scriber'' is well known to him. There was
no difficulty in finding out the ''real name"
as it was left at your Office.
His saying that Subscriber" was guilty
Of the very thing which he charges on 9th
ers, is a misstatement, whether of the head
or heart Subscriber leaves those who
know Mr.. Compton to judge.
ssSubscriber" has never taken a letter or
paper from the f'ost Office, which did not
belong to him, unless requested to by the
parties to whom they belonged. You, Mr..
Editor, will bear testimony that my Jour.
nal was placed in the Post Office at Ope.
lousas. and Subscriber" having sent re-
peatedly for it, failed to get it until the next
Wednesday after it was issued.
Mr.. Compton italicised the word gentle
aaan. His nlimation is plainly understood.
If his department in the Post Office is to
be the standard by which gentlemen are to
be distinguished, it is fortunate for the res
pectable portion Of the community that he
is not their criterion.
subscriber, never intiInated that his
letters had been opened by a negro; he can
not see how Mr.. Compton could SO have
construed it.
iii POSTMASTER has not time TO bow and
scrape," neither are persons who ask fol
their mails expected to come in 4 snpplica
ting manner with their hats in their hands
TO ask Of a United States officer the small
privilege Of receiving their letters. since
mr.. Compton knows the name Of 'Subscri
Der" that is sufficient.
Assuring you that .'subscriber' will no
again intrude upon your time and patience
I am, very respectfully, your
SUBSCRIBER.
