BOUNTIES AND BACK-PAY.

There are numerous complaints
about the manner in which the dis
bursting officer of the Freedmen's
Bureau treats the claimants who
come before him. It seems he has
made a negro-pen at his Office
(which we are told is at his private
residence) and compels the colored
claimants to go round to ms lack
gate, and stand in the regular old
negro market style-an in a row
till he finishes his newspapers or his
"cock.ail'-and il is said he If
fond of both-before he will pay at
tention to the widows and children
of those who died in the service o.
the Union.
Surely general Howard is igno
rant of this state Of things. Hi
well known philanthropy towards
our race his innate sense Of justice
his obligations to the government
as the chief Of the Bureau, and hi
knowledge Of negro valor during
the crisis of the nations life, woal'
unite to create in him the feeling
of indignation against the MAJ
who is SO misusing his powers ant
50 outraging the Claims OF on

REVOLUTIONARY FRENZY IN FRANcr.
The frightful scenes of bloOd-shed
and anarchy which have astonished
the world, the wild deeds of van
dalism which are as atrocious as
they we're causeless, and the mutiia-
ton of the chief center of pleasure,
ornament and gastronomy in Eu-
rope, teaches us u lesson we may
profit by. It is said that the revo-
luton in France proves the inca
pacity of the French for the carry
on of a republican government; but
or notion is that the past oppres-
sion is the natural parent Of recent
anarchy. Republicanism has failed
in France-failed because past op-
preston has rendered the peo;ls
unfit to appreciate their rights.

GOVERNOR WARMOTH.

The whole community has been
kept in feverish state of excite
ment during the last twenty-four
hours in regard to the critical con-
dition of our Governors health.
But we are glad to quote the fo.-
lowing from the Picayne
"There We're many rumors on the
street this morning concerning
Gov. Warmoth. The report that
he had lockjaw was quickly followed
by another that he had died. Some
even went so far as to ateprecisely
the hour at which he succumbed
to the terrible disease, and though
nobody knew where the rumor came
from nearly everybody seemed to
give it credence.
We are en.bled to state, from
personal inquiry, that the Governor
was this morning very much better
1t appear. that he suffered severe
pain last night from an abcess which
had formed in his foot, but thi:
breaking has relieved him greatly
aud he is now more inconvenience
from the effects OF the opiates he
has taken than from pain. DR.
Smythe, his attendant physician
regards all his symptoms as highl,
favorable, and we trust the Doctor
opinion Lay be verified by tn
early recovery OF the Governor"

WHO Is TO BLAME?

The democrats must fight us, it
is political necessity. Beaten in
controversy they tried physical
resistance, overcome in that they
resorted to obstruction, and when
defeated in that, as they have been,
they try to produce dissension in
our ranks.
Political measures, passed under
exigencies which none understood
better than those who passed them,
Legislative measures enacted as safe
guards to previous legislation,
with the full understanding that
they were to meet political crisis,
are now assailed by democrats who
need texts for reactionary sermons,
and these sermons are endorsed by
ambitious men in our own party
who drive home democratic wedge
without seeing they must inevitably
make a republican split in the effort.
1t seems to us that those who at
his time forget their party in re-
lnembrance of personal dislikes, or
in cherishing personal preferences.
are such as realize the adage OF
biting off ones nose to spite his
face" What does a democrat care
for a republican if he be false one?
He knows that such a man can have
no power in his own party. What
can he do with true republican,
nothing. Who then is to blame for
the senseless controversy going on
as to the views of this man and that'
Cesar, Alexander, Napoleon, De-
mosthenes, Cicero and Pitt have all
lived, fought and spoken, but they
were but the waves which rode on
the mighty current of humanity
the waves have subsidized but the
grea. tide of. buman interests still
Gibbs and flows. And if we would
but take warning by these examples
much of our zeal would be cooled, q
great deal of our useless opposition
to great principles and strong men,
would be modified, and the masses
wonld lot be fighting to vote fol
some one who does not know them
and never will remember them aftel
the vote is east, nor for those they
do not know themselves. Th'
democrats are not to blame tor try
ing to produce disagreement anon;
Us. We are not to blame for indi
vidual preferences. But we ar
to blame if we manage our affair
to play into tie hands OF tn
; democrats.

LITERATURE AMONG COLOR
ED PEOPLE.

We have had two colored people
entitled to the name of poet
Phillis Wheatly, and James NJ. Whit
field, and we have just this number
alive now, Mrs. Watkins Har-
per and r. T. Greener. This seems
a scant muster role among q peo-
pie who are credited with possess
sing those qualities which unite In
the poet. We are said to possess,
as a race imaginativeness. pathos
and intuitiyeness, and if the es-
innate is correct, these qualities
should find fruitful field Of utiliz-
alton in the sufferings of the slave,
the valor of the freedman, and the
achievements of reconstruction.
Of course there are few of US who
can boast leisure, still fewer can Sc
cure that entrance into cultivated
circles necessary to the make up
the literateur. But it must be adj
mitted that IL the field of general
literature we are not doing our
duty. There are men among us
like Professor Reaso-. for instance
who might give us an elegant ano
interesting history of negro achieve
ments. Miss Fanny jackson the
accomplished principal of the Insti
tute for colored youth might pro
, fitably give us, the experiences O.
an educator. Peter H. Clark, O
Cincinnati could easily and elo'
quently tell the story of the negro
marital deeds. Richard Greener has
! already won distinction by his es
says in the newspapers and might
if he liked, give his thoughts widel
circulation in book form. Harvard
has done for him what his frs
class talents deserved, and he owe
it to us to Fay back the solicitud'
with which we followed him as tn
first colored man admitted to Thu
ancient and aristocratic mother O
scholars. And last but greatest on
veteran corypheus of The Neio Va
tiona, Era might initiate the ph.loso
pher OF the Tribune and tell us wha
he knows about the anti-slaver
struggle. We know he is busy in hi
editoriallab rs out it would be a bles
sing to posterity if he would Civ
US Il fellow to MY BONDAGE AND Il
FREEDOM.

Z Z y S ION S.

We had twenty-five regiment OF
colored men in the State, and only
three regiments OF Union white men,
and yet the pension list OF this State
exhibits role of white names to
the extent of three to one over the
colored. What is the cause OF this?
Are the colored widows and orphans
too proud to take the pensions due
them, or are they too indolent to
look after what Justly belongs to
them? In either case an injustice
is being perpetrated against the
dead. Some nineteen million of
dollars are expended by the govern
ment on pensions, and if our people
had their just deserts they would
have nineteen millions more appro-
priated.
We do not believe that the claim
agents are to blame, we know the
Pension Agent is not to blame and
it is ca ,ally certain that the govern
ment Is not to blame, SO that the
blame lies wholly at the door OF
those who at once refuse benefit
they are entitled to, and assist in
consigning to oblivion the names OF
those who fought for the salvation
of the country and the future sup
port of their families.
We sincerely hore that this neg
lect will be rene lied. If the manner
of making application is not under
stood, We invite all who are in doub
to call at the Office of the LOUISIANA
AN, and We will give advice withou
money and without price. We know

AFRICAN PROGRESS"

The Now Orleans PicGyme in a
long article with the the above head
ing tries to show that the negro has
gained vastly by his transportation
to this con.inen. under the hot
house influence Of slavery. 1t says:
The change from their pristine
barbarism and brutality to what
they are has been the result of their
enforced discipline and their con-
tact with civilized men. Instead,
therefore, Of charging that slavery
has "brutalizcd' them, It must be
conceded that under slavery they
and their posterity became human
lied. while all whom they lefs behind
them Two hundred years ago are as
savage and brutal now as then:
And instead OF the d.gredatioH spok
en- of by our respected contemro-
rary, they have been regenerated so
IN body, mind and morals that their
own countrymen would not recog-
nize them as belonging to their own
race. There is an Infinite difference
between tie average Africo-Ameri-
eau of this day and the native Airi-
can as he is and as he was two hun.
dred wears ago or ut any time Since
he WIS known to history.
We have no desire to civilize an
othcr colony of Africans in the same
manner, but the results OF what has
been are before us, too Evident TO
be ignored ard too vel proven TO
be disputed"
If the ne,5ro, as slave, has gain
ed as much as the P,cGpnc admits
he has, by his enforced emigration
from his home to this country, It
must certainly admit also that as a
freeman he would have gained In
comp. rably more.
No matter how degraded the peo-
pie of Africa my be in their native
home. and no matter how much
they may be improved by emigra-
ton from it, there can be no dis
credit accruing to barbarians for mo-
being civilized,-as water can no
rise above It's sourcc,-and nothing
but discre1;t can rebound to /
protested civilization which turns
back TO the practices Of bar5arians
The improvement OF the Negro
has been ike that of the Israe.ites-
in spite of their oppression, an'
through their instincts. Surely tn
Pioay,inc can not believe that deny
ing a person the privilege Of learn
irg to read, refusing him the RICH
to hold property, violating ever,
family tie, oltraginS every mora
sentiment, trampling upon ever
instinct of manhood, forbiddin
every qualification of religion an
crushing, as with bosom of DIES
truction, his self-respect and sci
reliance are things for which civi
cation should take credit. Rattle
let civilization blush at the disgrace
full act OF snatching the rude c.oti
ing from the barbarian, and thus e.
posing the nakedness of helpie'
humanity, that it may elothe itse
at its neighbors expense. The &c
and sweat OF our race have enricht
its oppressors, our blood and tea
have kept civilization afioat, and OF
physical vitality along with OF
natural imitativeness have trump
ed, over prejudice and proscripti'
to such an extent that they no
claim us rs their children, instea
of recognizing Us as their victim
Verify, these are strange times.
