Address of Lieutenant Cover
nor Dunn.

The President resumed the chair
and said: Senators of Louisiana
The remarks of Senator Lynch
have caused me to feel sensibly
the change that has been brought
about-a change which is appar-
ent to all present. The fact that
the Senate of louisiana is preSi-
ded over by man Of my race,
one who has ever been kept in
obscurity, shows the progress
which. has taken place in, the
Southern States-a progress more
rapid than that of the Northern
States, East or West-and [ hope
that progress will continue until
everywhere throughout this land
intelligence will be respected
whatever the color of the skin.
Not that claim intelligence for
myself, but l hope that by your
assistance and kindness towards
me and my race to prove worthy
of every advantage bestowed
upon us. There is no one pres
ent more anxious than | am to
see the State of Louisiana restor-
ed to the UniOn-not as it was,
but as it is. Previously she was
in the Union, and said to be a
free government; but her freedom
was confined to one class. Now
she is going in under republican
form of government, granting
civil and political rights to all
men. rraaE .sNN9o}saSs
AS to myself aud my people,
we are not seeking social equality;
that is a thing no law can govern.
We all have our preferences. We.
all wish to select our associates,
and no legislation can select them
for us. We ask nothing of the
kind. We simply ask to be al
lowed an equal chance in the race
of life !, an equal opportunity of
supporting our families, of educa-
ting our children, and of becom-
ing worthy citizens ofthis govern
ment. -
l am truly happy that we are
about to return into the Union,
| as much as any of you object to
military rule. | believe that there
is ability enough in the State to
govern our OVID affairs, and 1 be.
lieve that harmony will exist
among rs to such an extent that
no interference of military power
will be necessary ON the part of
the general government.
Gentlemen, | thank you for the
kind courtesies and the lenieney
you have extended toward me. If
any action of mine has been con-
sidered arbitrary, ! hope that
feeling will be removed and the Sem
ate will believe T.acted under my
conscientious convictions Of duty,
for my sole object has been to act
Justly with all men. Certainly
Ishall use my utmost endeavors
to preside iInpartialIy over this
honorable body, and to promote
harmony and dignity in its DELHI

Gov. Warmoth's Inaugural.

/ am deeply impressed with the
grave and peculiar significance Of |
this occasion and the magnitude |
of the responsibility which / am |
this day'te assume. l trust the
hearts ofaal of us are moved and
pervaded 10y a realizing sense of
the new and serious duties we
have been called upon to dis
charge. Before me is the first
legislature as an equal member of
the american Union that has sat
for seven years. I need not re-
count toyou the history of these
seven years, SO full of startling
land wonderful as well as painful
and terrible events-so pregnant
with mGmentious issues, SO pro-
ductive of great and glorious re
c?sllts. Nor do | deem it expedient
at this time to trace the chain of
causes which led to these events,
and produced these results, or to
discuss the questions of who have
been most culpable and response
BILE for whatever has been wrong
or mistaken in the past, and who
are most deserving of credit for
whatever is good in the present.
We have here met not to specu-
late upon the past, nor to brood
and quarrel over its ashes, but
rather to meet the great living
issues of the present and the du-
ties which it imposes upon us.
We stand amid the ruins of an
old order of things; it should be
ours to work wisely and manfully
for The establishment of q new
and better order of things upon
the foundation which these seven
years have established. So long
as time is spent i'll futile irritating
discussions upon the readiness and
probable permanency Of these
foundations, or persistent and per
haps turbulent efforts to unsettle
and upheave them, SO long will
the public peace, order and tran
guilty refuse to be restored, and
so long win the restoration and
development of all the great in
terests of the State be delayed
and endangered.
Gentlemen, the corner stone of
these foundations laid and fixed
forever by a war, sealed as / firm
ly believe by the hand of God
himself, recognized by that or
game law under which we have
assembled, and which [ am here
to swear to support and. defend
is the equality before, the law and
the enjoyment of every political
right of all the citizens of the
State, regardless of race, color, or
previous conditions; and only
when this grand distinctive feat,
urc of the new Constitution shall
be stamped on every act of legis-
iation, and when such legislation
shall find approval and support in
that general public sentiment
which gives to law its, vitality.
wilbur State fairly enter upon
that career OF greatness and pros
perity which the Almighty de-
signed for her. It would be idle
to deny that while large MAORI
~ OF our people have testified in
the strongest manner to their
approval of that feature of the
Constitution of which | have
spoken, there is still a minority,
not wantingin intelligence and vir
Fle, who are Srepuously opposed
to it. Much is to be hoped from
me good sense, the decretion, and
inherent love of Justice of the
American people for the gradual
wearing away of the preiudIces

teEing into any discussion of meas
ures which / may deem of impor-
tance. In future l will discharge
the duty imposed upon me by
giving to the General Assembly
information respecting the condi-
ton Of the State, and recommend
ing to its consideration such legis-
lation as may seem expedient. /
venture, however, to urge imme-
diately measures for the repres-
sion of lawlessness and disorder
nowrife in many parts of the State.
From many parishes we have al
most daily accounts of violence
and outrage-in many cases most
brutal and revolving murders
without any effort on the part of
the people to prevent or punish
them.
We want peace and order;
without it we can have no pros
perity. Such measures must be
adopted to secure life and prop
erty as may be necessary. If the
taxpayers prefer to support a
strong constabulary force to doing
their duty as citizens by helping
the officers, yes, by making the
officers of the law keep the peace,
and protect the life of every man
however poor, then the response
bility will be upon them, and not
the State administration. Every
body knows that the strong men,
the property holders, and those
who claim and command the re-
spect of their parish, conld make
it as peaceable and safe through
out the State as any part of the
Union.
The hands Of the courts must
be strengthened and upheld--the
peace officers must do their duty
the good people must rise up
and yindicate the law. The press
too, vindietiye and partisan,
should unite with the government
in denouncing crime, and aid in
the establishment of a healthy
public sentiment which of itself
would protect the peace by its
frowns upon evil doors. You
should drive those drones upon
society who eat but do not work
who consume and produce moth
ing, more dangerous to peace and
prosperity than famine or pesti-
lence, to go to work or find an
other country than this to curse.
l appear before you today not
as a partisan, but to take the oath
of office prescribed for those who
are chozen by the people to dis.
charge the duties of the office OF
governor of your State. My OBJ
ject will be to enforce the law,
protect the people, and aid in
advancing the social, material,
and political interests of the whole
people. | believe the epoch has
