There can be no Republican par
ty in this State without the united
vote of the colored men, or
for that matter, there can be no 9TH
er successful party; and if we are
not sufficiently alive to our interests
to make oil solicitors for our votes
understand the fact, we shall have
to immerse ourselves in the pond of
Democratic croakers and help the
monotonuus cry that negro suffrage
is a failure.
But there is store for us a bet
ter future. We have shed too many
tears of anguish; we have paid too
much blood to the exactions of q
hateful and inhuman injustice to
put into the hands of our enemies,
or to place within the reach of our
protested friends. by dissention In
our ranks and faithlessness to our
race, the power to reduce US to our
former condition or to make us
tools in party of which we consti-
tute the main and indispensable

MUNICIPAL PATRONAGE.

1t is asserted in high quarters
that in the dispensation OF NUM-
cipal patronage more white men
have been appointed to positions by
colored men, than white men having
the power, have appoint I'd; and that
more colored men have been ap-
pointed to POSITIONS by white men,
than the colorcd members of the
municipality have appointed. We
mention this as q rumor; but
whether it be true or false the mere
assertion that this is the state of
things shows that even the white
friends of our party think there lis
something homogeneous in it, if it
does exist.
An article OF ours which appeared
a week ago put this whole thing
where We think it belongs. In it
We stated that our superior num-
bers in the party did not emit ! al
incompetent negro to any more
consideration than an Incompetent
white man when the claims Of the
public are considered: and this
should be the first consideration Of
any journal like ours. But oil
things being equal-and pains must
be taken to see they are equal
where o colored man can be found
to fill position he should have it.
The necessary preponderance in
the favor of white Office holders is
readily conceded, the innate loyalty
and instructive patriotism of the
negro is also conceded by our
enemies even, but neither the one
nor the other, nor both together
can long survive the doctrine that
the negroes shall do all the voting
and the white men hold all the
positions Common sense and
necessity unite in . protest against
this doctrine. - -
| We have said thus much because
we disbe6eve the rumor, but if il
lie true that coiored men who have
been elevated to position have beer

its entire novelty here. The State,

nary authority over the rules by
which the admission of barristers is
to be regulated, the manner in which
they are to be examined, the extent
of their studies, their citizenship,
and their age. Any citizen of the

OUR CORESP0NDENCE.
national CExErERY, 4
Chalmette La, June 9th, 1871.

COl-
Dear Sir:-Adjoining the Nation
al Cemetery, is q plot Of ground
containing the remains OF about
5000 colOred persons. The ground.
I understand, was given in trust
for a Potter's field to the city of
New Orleans, by the Freedman's
Bureau before its dissolution, and
for the gift or trust the receivers
were to take care and keep a record
ofthe interments there made and any
that might be made, they were to
keep the grounds in O condition
becoming burial place for the
dead. But it seems to me that the
agreement and the claims of the
deceased are forgotten. Christianity
Charity and common humanity
would dictate that the graves Of the
dead, within sight of our flag, our
homes and our churches ought to be
taken care OF.
But sir the case is different. The
place is sadly neglected. The
graveyard has become pasture for
stock, and I believe the grounds are
occupied by squatters. The head
boards which mark the graves, are
fast disappearing for fre-wood
for roofing and for shanties; any of
the graves that are not desecrated by
stock, are entirely hidden from
view by weeds and underbrush.
'Tis shame to our civilization that
this burial place for the dead should
be SO neglected, and SIR, the muir
muring of the citizens in this section
especially our colored citizens
against the authorities who wilfully
neglect the burial place of many Of
their friends and relatives will show
itself in a manner not to be sighted
ere long and probably when we will
most need their assistance, if this
matter is not attended to.
have addressed you sir, at the
request of q number Of our colored
citizens, and it is our earnest wish
that you will use your extensive in
Huence to bring about the desired
result. I believe that u lease Of the
grounds for Eve years was obtained
by Mr.--fr from the city council,
but he has failed to do anything
with the grounds during three years
tina. lie has claimed the right Of the
grounds. You truly, &c.

"THB NEW DEPARTURE"
This phrase seems to have invol

This phrase seems to have involv-
ed . prophecy.
There was need of an exodus, but
it wanted q Moses like Vallandigham
to directit, but God in his wisdom has
seen fttoremove him from the scene
of those tolls, broils and turmoils
which awaited him.
Vallandigham was doubtless an
honest man; he was certainly. Q rep
resentative one. He had the willard
the courage to initiate Milton's Sa-
tan in steadiness of purpose and
fierceness Of defiance though we
trust he did not initiate him in pro-
family. .Akhl@lvol * 7TAT.
When the nation was bleeding at
every pore under the agonies Of an
awful crisis, and the shadow of q
coffin had been cast across almost
every hearth in the land, when the
wives, daughters and sisters of our
union soldiers were 6tly clothed to
represent a national eclipse, Vallan-
digham stood upon the outskirts of
the procession, and like Shimei,
cursed them as they passed along in
the gloom of bereavement. Like
most honest men he has been found
to have been inconsistent. After
having done his worst for the repub-
lican party. he lately became anx-
ious to do the best for his own. A
bitter hater may become an honest
lover, and at one time recently, it
looked very much as though the ex-
! lie of Niagara fails was becoming
the disciple of the rail-spitter who
banished him.
We have frankly confessed that
we thought the late leader of the
exodus was honest; we know he was
sagacious, and had his plan been
carried out by the democrats, very
considerable breach would have been
made in the republican ranks. He
knew th.lt the West is FESTIVE under
the domination of eastern capital,
that the middle-States are not on
ly jealous of the preponderating
number of officials selected from
New England, but he knew as well
that the burdensome protection given
to the East atthe expense of theWest,
must work its own cure through the
destruction Of the party that sane
toned and upheld it by its patron
age.
Such man could not have got
into the republican party, but he
could and would have done the next
best thing-he would have got out
of his own. And with his powers
and record, he could have done both
sides great deal Of harm. Peace
to his ashes: We always admired
his pluck, his self-sacrifce and his
sagacity; for though he failed, he
failed persistently, and was beaten
in q contest with Providence whell
he thought he was only fighting
with men.

THE FARCE OF DECORA-
TON DAY.

issue Of this journal to the shameful
discrimination made on de-
coration day at Arlington heights.
And those who read the article will
remember that we said that the
rancor of sectional feeling in keep
ing up the custom, and the hypocri-
sy of Unionists in negleoting the
graves of colored soldiers, were
equally baieful in their influences,
and that therefore all decorations
had better be dropped.
In another column will be found
communication from Chalmette
over the endorsement Of gentle
man well-known, who tells a story
of thoughless disregard, or else Of
studied neglect in regard to the
place of burial for the colored SOL
diers of the Union army,
vet of which the custodians
of the cemetery seem as shameless
as thou, h they had not, by allow
ing these grounds to so to wreck,
outraged the living and insulted
the memory of the dead.
II the assistance of our race in
the late war was of any account, We
ought to secure q recognition from
our white friends who, however
strong and determined, could not
have won the victory without us.
And even if it were of 10 account,
the professions to political equality
made by the white Republicans
towards living negro voters, ought
to leave no room for evidences of
contempt towards the negro dead
in these cemeteries, which are visited
VITA such enthusiasm when white
graves are to 90 decorated.
Let our friends hereafter stay
away from these farces on decora-
ton day. If we are to be ins'1ted
by finding white unionists and col
ored ones'buried in separate parts
of the same burial ground, let us
not lend it sanction 10y our pre-
s;n,e. White men are always the
eulogists on these occasions, and
the best OF them do no more than
lug the negro into peroration, Ell
Their for political effect, in the very
presence Of mortuary prejudice
or to round their periods at the ex.
pense of their consistency. The
farce is played ont and we hope
our people will privately decorate
the graves of their own dead, and
leave those who would not recog
nize our people while living, till the
teachings of necessity compelled
them, and who insult the survivors
our race by exposing the corpses o
these dead heroes to the wors
deeds of vandalism, learn that ii
, this Southern country we have thu
