What the company has received 100000
for is thus worth to holders, at present
rates, say $3.50, 000-a very handsome
advance. Of course, if any considerable
amount of this stock should be put upon
the market at once, the price would go
down very considerably. The present
income of the company is reported at
about $780, per annum, a very hand

HONEST ADMIssIoS-The Republican

strictest economy to place us il the prosper
Gus condition We enjoyed before the var
This is an admission that under Democratic
rule We were ii a prosperous condition. and
that our present condition has been brought
upon US through the lnaiadnnietration OF
the bad and corrupt men who were brought
to the political surface by the war-the

so We have been brought to our present
condition through the Republican party.
In consequence We are to understand that
by the efforts Of the Republicans this war
was caused, commerce destroyed, agri-
cultural efforts frustrated, the wealth Of
the South transmitted to Europe, and the
entire Southern States plunged into
mourning by the action Of the Republican
party. The Republicans revolted against
the Northern States; Republicans formed
the Confederacy. Truly our neighbor,
the Democrat, must look through very
green glasses, and his distorted imagina-
ton must be in such a condition that

INE HONOR, HAL,

It was lively in the Democratic State
Convention yesterday. A gentleman with
remarkably good delivery was rowing his
friends up Salt River as if he Was on time,
and the men were helping along with all
their lungs. Said he, ''no southern man
should, or ought to, be nominated for
Congress who says he can take the test
oath, for such q man could only have been
a renegade when our death struggle was
in progress" And divers other round
and pointed oratorical bombs were
thrown into the camp of the ambitious
with tone Of thunder and q tongue Of
fire. The thoughts were breathing and
the words were about as combustible as a
Mansard roof in full blaze. "The South
ern man who says he can take that oath,
sir, can not obtain the support Of my
people," said the Demosthenes Of the
Louisiana Athenians, g for if We have lost
our liberties we have not parted with our
self-respect. Give me generous North
ern man, but hold away from my knowl-
edge the man who says he did not help
his own people in the frey food Of that
war which was sweeping us to de-
feat and desolation." Bravo! said
Youngblood; but Baldhead stood
silent, and kept up devil of think
ing. After this torrent of eloquence, the
resolution to respect the suggestion Of the
National Democratic Committee to nonli-
nate only such candidates as could take
the test oath, was about to be tabled as a
subject too delicate to be discussed, when
an old gentleman rose and spontaneously
committed political hari-kari by declaring
that, being DISTINGUISHED by all the laws
he knew anything about, he voluntarily
retired from public life. He then claimed
| the right to answer the eloquent gentle
man who had last spoken, and although
he spoke constructively from the spiritual
land Of politicians, his words We're not
suppressed by the previous question. As
| spiritual messages are not in our line, we
| fell out of the room, and the further re-
| port Of this debate must be found con-
| tinued somewhere else than in this col
umn. Probably the Spaitaa! Te.eqrap7s

had any circulation outside this State;
then indeed. it would merely be another
drop in the ocean of falsehood told by
Democracy. But for little party plea
yune document that now has to be sup
ported by subscription and contribution
its intrinsic value as a journal insufficient
for Democrats to feel warranted in laying
out nickel for the purpose Of peruslng
it-pshaw. The Democrat is behind the
age; it imagines that every one is unac-
quainted with what transpires everywhere
around him, as was the case in the good
old Democratic times.
Yet, supposing this to be so, say, for
the sake of argument, that there are but
two colored men occupying positions in
the commonwealth, what are the colored
men to expect from party whose orator
utters a sentence similar to the ensuing:
eff you take the consequences of that
policy (the policy Of the Republican
party, we presume,( ''to their fullest ex-
tent, and in their most comprehensive
scope, as affecting ourselves and poster
ity, as we ought to do, and what does it
lead to; where does it end but in putting
the niger in ofice?''
Consider the two situations, colored vo-
tiers, you have seen by facts what has been
done for your race by the colored party;
now form your own deductions as to what
will be your chances under the promises
of Hatch g. Co., and the enunciations as
above

WINE AND FIGS.

Some Of the California papers are d.s-
cussing what the effects Of the European
war Will be on the wines Of that State.
Are we Tot somewhat interested III this
subject? We do not drink wine but we
have lately come to raising the grape, and
it is to be presumed our people intend to
turn their grapes into wine. The war now
raging viii destroy many vineyards, and
it will take from the vintage thousands Of
hands. Ii it spreads, next year may be
worse than this, and thus, what falls as
calamity or France may come to be a
blessing TO US. It is an Ill wind that
blows 10 good. As it has been domon-
strated that the lands on the jackson
Railroad, which have heretofore sold for a
song, are equal to any in California for
raising grapes, why shall We not make
wines and preserve raisins? And as fig
trees grow on that soil by simply sticking
slip in the ground, why shall We not
have preserved figs?

PECULIAR.

We are informed by the New Orleans
Democrat that, with the exception Of
Messrs. Dunn and Dubuclet, not a single
colored person holds an important office
in the Commonwealth.
This is mostdecidedly about the most
barefaced assertion that ever emanated
from mendacious pen. Notwithstand-
ing the assertions by the Democratic party
that all meetings Of the Republican party
are ssBlack and Tan Conventions, y yet no
colored man, save the two cited, have any
voice in the Commonwealth. Such a
misrepresentation would not seem SO sur
prising were it published in paper that
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-09-14
NOT SATISFIED.

Mistakes will happen in the first fami-
lies and the "best laid plans Of mice
and men aft gang ayley." It was the af-
fecting appeal Of the Democrats, last
week, that new men should be elected to
the State Convention. The old stagers
would not do to trust, but new men would
save the State. Well, the thing has been
tried, and the Bee says it is bigger failure
than ever. The truth is, when the
''nigger'' is Knocked out Of their mouths,
there are about two-thirds of the Demo-
cratic delegates who will lose all their po-
litical capital, without knowing how they
did it. The trouble with the present
body is, that the old hacks elected their
runners, and now the runner does not
know how to stand alone away from the
friendly hint OF his boss, who stands out
side in a prickly heat of agitation because
his puppet inside will not answer to his
strings. This is vain world, and full Of
vexation Of spirit.

The first number of the Louisiana Herald
which claims to be the official journal Of the
parish of Livingston, has been received. 1t
is difficult to guess what it IFS printed for,
though it is published weekly at Poncha-
toula, and is edited by DR.. J. E. Spencer,
and w. Baer, Esq, is the assistant editor.
DIR. Spencer was a surgeon attached to the
Federal army, and we suppose Mr.. Baer is
our old friend formerly q law partner with
the late John Z. Holland. Processing to be
the official paper of the parish, it displays
the names of Democratic nominees at the
head of its columns, and its columns are
filed with editorials and communications
abusive of Governor Warmoth, the State
administration and the Republican party
Of Louisiana.

! ACCIDENT TO A NEWSPAPER MAN.-The
following, from the Boston Herald will be
interesting to many friends of Mr.. A. G..
Hills, who will remember him as at one
time connected with the management of
the New Orleans Era:
We regret to learn that Mr.. A. G. Hills,
formerly a reporter on the Boston press,
met with quite a serious accident at North
Hadley, last Saturday. While riding cut
with his wife, and descending a steep hill,
the horse stumbled and fell, throwing them
both from the carriage. Mr.. Hills, on fall
ing, threw. ont his right hand to save him
eelf. holding the reins with his left hand,
and striking upon the ground fractured
both homes Of his right arm below the elbow.
The fractured Limb was skafnlly set, and
who stmnathize with him III his misfortune,
his residence being at Wrentham. Mrs.
Hills fortunately escaped with only lev
bruises.

If the Republican party never made a
mistake before, it certainly atoned for its
general infallibiity when it hired the mis-
cellaneous mistake at jackson, Mississippi,
known as the Pilot, to be its mouth-piece
in that State. And if we omitted, on a
previous occasion, to say that the editor
Of the same was q fool, then We make
haste to correct the oversight born Of our
courtesy. What earthly use such paper
is to the State Of Mississippi, is as big a
mystery as that Of Edwin brood, and will
probably continue so quite as long.

HAMLET OUT OF HAMLET.

Having mounted various commanding
positions yesterday, in order to discover
the twelve colored delegates, who can
imagine our grief and disappointment at
not seeing single negro in the assembled
wisdom of the Democratic State Conven-
ton. We counted the bald-heads and
beardless youths up and down, and from
side to side, by sections, platoons, and
details, not emitting the awkward squad,
and the negro was not there. Straight
hair was the rule, and the exception was
not that curly grip which lifts the negro
into church on Sunday. This was q
cheat on US, for We took the programme
and expected to have it played
through according to the big letters
First Appearance Of Africa in the
sanhedrim of the Democracy" Nary an
Ethiopian. Equal rights" was left out.
We feel anxious to know how this came
about. After the convention had arisen
to the dignity of the occasion, as the
Times has ii, and had hired eleven choice
tield-hands for this one engagement,
what are we to expect at this inexplicable
departure in the performances from what
was advertised as the central and all
absorbing sight of the show? Did the
convention ever have any negroes in it :?
Or was it simply q dodge to win coiorad
votes by toleratins supposititious Africans
in the councils OF the party? Since the
eleven can not be found, We have notion
to renew our suggestion that the Brown
partner in Eatchs concern was never
veritable colored man. We must see these
things hereafter.

and progress, and thrift, and liberty have
always been threatened with its correction:
much in fear Of this shapeless evil. Truth
generally appals it, or courage kicks it out

The Washington Republican makes the
following statement in reference to mat
ter which has been mentioned before:
Secretary Cox yesterday issued an order
prohibiting Judge George w. Paschal from
practising before any of the bureaus in the
Department. The cause of this order is a
very insulting letter written by Paschal in
relation to the McGarrahan claim, addressed
to the Commissioner Of the Land Office,
which letter was returned to Paschal with
out comment.
