fOCR CORRESPONDENCE
REVIEW OF "ENFRANCHISE-
MENT."
FOR THE LOUISIANIAN,)

ar. Editor, having begged the favor
ofyor columns to present few thoughts
upon your editorial OH "eufranchisins "
tho late rebels, now desire to give
some evidences of the great danger to
our people, that Republicans of whom
You speak, appear to be afraid Of 1t
is well for us to be guided by facts, not
by arguments, for facts are stubborn
things, and will stand good when oil
the rubbish Of false reasoning is cast
down.
When men are disposed to Cypress
their fellowmen, no acts of goodnes that
the weak may have done for the strong,
will have any weight to prevent it.
All the good the Egyptians had receiv-
ed from Joseph, did not prevent them
in few years from depressing his seed,
TIL God himself had to undertake and
deliver them
We know that we have been sorely op-
pressed in this land, and We also know
the people who held us in bondage. OF
course then, we must have been deliver
ed by the consent of the so-called owner,
or without it. Now sir, both wings of
Democracy, call them the white Mans
Party" OF the Progressive Democracy"
or as in other parts they are called the
Conservative Party" or the Citizens,
for the old creature has assumed many
shapes and forms to keep on some kind
OF legs but all unite in tie conclusion,
that, NE amendments to the Constitution,
by the Republican Party, are uncoasitu-
Honal, aud null and roid.
The question now really is with them,
";f we can only remove the Republican
Party, that defends The negro in his
Rights, it viii be but a small job to scttl .

LIVING DOWN A PREJUDICE.

We copy the following from the Newark
Evening Courier:
Rev. DR.. Charles H. Thompson duties at
Straight University, will include those of
Biblical History and Preacher before the
University. The judgment indicated in the
choice of DR.. Thompson is keen sighted Dr.
Thompson is not only thorough African
in color and feature; a scholar of an order
that has received the stamp of approval from
the learned gentlemen who compose our
Newark Presbytery, as well as of scholars in
various other quarters, but he is q most
thorough gentleman; one who accepts the
fact of his being an African of full blood,
with feeling that is well nigh exultant in
the intensity of its self-respect and in the
realization of the power of that blood, when
cultured, to triumph over the slurs which
hands unguidcd by perception have flung
upon it, and d. not cease to fling. He en-
tiers with JOY upon the great work which is
now upon his race, of living down the preju-
dice against them which years have devel-
opetl.
This prejudice, like al prejudice, is dull
at recognizing good qualities amidst such Us

FOR-LORNE.

Rumor declared day or two ago that
Minister Schenk would sail on the frs,
of March, as Representative of the United
States Government at the Court of St
james, and that he was clothed with
full power to settle the Alabama Claims
Amore recent report says that the Mar
quis of Lorne, stotch nobleman, and
prospective son in law of Queen Victoria,
will soon be sent to this country and that
he will be clothed with full powers to
finally negotiate i'll THIS perpiexing ques-
ton.
The Queens speech with reference to
the question doesn't seem to us, to midi
cate that there is proposed to do more
than this.-This arrangement will, by
common consent, include all claims fol-
compensation which have been or may
ibe made by each government, or by it,
citizens, upon the other.
The attitude of this Government that
England was wrong and unfriendly
during the war, and owes PREPARATION to
the United Stat, and her assertion that
she was not, and owes no such PREPARATION,
Will in all probability continue for some
time to excite feelings Of exacerbation
and bitterness on both sides of the
water. tits to be lamented that two such
powers united by so many interests
should have an clement of such estran-
cement as this question threatens to
involve, if not perpetuate to IN indefinite
period, and then break out in all its
vindictive fury at a moment when one
government or the other should become
involved in peril from other sources, and
perhaps engaged in some struggle threat
enihg its very existence.
