she reconstruction laws? If every
man was bound to vote one way,
what was the use of voting at all /?
Mr.. Noble stated that if he knew a
man was disqualified, he would not
register him, and, if ordered to do
SO, he would prefer to resign.
In the case Of Mr.. Hamen, he
had only deferred his resignation,
and not decided to refuse it. Judge
Walker contended the Supervisors
were wrong in not respecting a
mandate Of the court given the
very day the registration was re-
fused, and in not consulting the
Attorney General. He expressed
the belief that the Supervisors had
disobeyed the orders of the courts,
and obeyed the mandates of Baker
for holding on to the paltry Offices.
The Court stated that hereafter
he would punish cases of contempt
boathe extent Of the Law. It was
its opinion the disobedience in
many instances resulted through
malice. The Supervisors were
ordered to register the REALTORS.

of which Marie is SO respectable a
representative.
What has become of the doctrine
that our colored population must
be represented In the Government
to secure their rights and liberties,
If they are thus to be excluded
from the Congress of the Nation {?
Where is there greater need for a
champion of this race, of its equal
rights, than In a body composed
of the representatives of States
which deny them equal rights, and
cling to the old preiudices against
their capacity for political admin
istration and franchise?
We admit that when this race
should present man of inferior
intelligence, integrity and charac-
ter, there might be some excuse
set up for rejecting his pretensions,
even by carpet-baggers. But we
ask, if Marie were a shade or two
lighter, if there could be a doubt
as to his superiority to Sypher in
every qualification for a Congress
man disregarding his color, his
previous condition, (which, how
ever, was always that of a free
man, would there have been the
slightest hesitation in recognizing
his superior fitness to represent a
city in which he holds so large an
interest, in which he was born and
reared, and with the people, the
circumstances and needs of which
he must be familiar, over a man
who comes here a stranger and adj
venturer-who has no local hab-
itation or any sort of interest in
the community?
And this is carpet-baggery in its
broadest and strongest phase, that
of unparalleled audacity, presump-
ton and hypocrisy. If the colored
people were all composed of such
men as Marie, there would be no
hesitation on the part of Southern
ers to admitting them to every
privilege to which white men are
entitled, but for carpet-baggers to
object to such a man is an insult
to our entire colored population

Triumph of the Carpet-Baggers,


It is very evident that the carpet
baggers are too strong in this
State for the scalaWags and the
eolored Radicals. We do not
lament their victory over the form
6r, but we have some sympathy
for the last class of their defeated
adversaries. The scalawags are
certainly the very lowest class of
the Radical army. The treacher-
GUS renegade and apostate is re-
garded by all people as the most
detestable form of human aepravi-
ty. We do not, therefore, deplOre
the victory achieved by Gen. Shell
don in the contest for the nomi-
nation for Congress in the. Second
District, over Michael Hahn.
Whilst Micheal was making fiery
speeches to stimulate our people
to- go forth to slay Yankees and
uphold the cause Of the rebellion,
Sheldon was raising volunteers to
fiGht for the Union and NOW, when
Mike puts himself forward as one
Of the champions of a party which
denounces and persecutes as trail
tors all. persons who were engaged
in the cause which he espoused
and defended, (as long as there
was no danger in doing So we
throw up our hats over his defeat,
even by so Objectionable a Radical
as Sheldon. .a .' -a @a11ss1@
We do not, however, indulge In
the same feelings of exultation
over the defeat Of Mr., Marie by
Sypher in the First Congressional
District. M. Marie, though a col
ored man, is q native of this city,
of gentlemanly and polished man
ners, good education, honesty, and
of large interest. Sypher's real
interest maybe enclosed in q very
small carpet-bag, and his pros
peetive interest is is in in the efAee he
is trying to get. ..
It is q striking illustration of the
hypocrisy and falsehood of the
white Radicals, who, headed by
Warmoth, appear to have absolute
control of the party, when q man
like Marie, who is the very best
specimen of colored man to be
found perhaps in the South, or in
the United States, who has a rent
roll of $4,000 per month, who gives
perhaps ten times as much as any
carpet-bagger in the city to pro.
mote the success of his party, AND
with the advantage OF O Paris
education, would shine in the na.
tional House OF Representatives as
the nearest approach to a complete
and elegantgentleman in thatbody.
ID set aside to make way for mere
cipher IN every quality needed to
fil creditably the place of National
Representative. This, too, when
nineteen-twentieths of the votes
upon which the candidate must
rely for his success, are Of the race
