PRETENDED FRIENDSHIP
AWAY WITH IT.

The acrimony and virulence with
which the National Republican has
Joined in the Democratic crusade
against Mr.. Pincllsack's character
since his election by the Senate to
the presidency OF that body, and the
Lieutenant GoSernorship, in oppo-
sition to the observation-disclosures
cratic candidate, gives direct and
unequivocal denial to the ridiculous
and hollow pretense of many OF the
supporters and endorsers of that
nondescript organ, and the intimate
associates of those who conduct it,
both colored and white, that they
are mot fighting Pinchback," but
only warning against Governor War
moth. We have repeatedly pro-
nounced this distinction without
difference as too inappreciable to
ordinary comprehension, and we
are not therefore disappointed to
find that the men themselves who
pretended to this novelty, found it
impossible to clothe their thoughts
in appropriate expressions without
necessarily belittling and traducing
Mr.. Pinchback equally with Gov
ernor Warmoth.
We do not make this point for
the purpose of complaining of this
course towards either of the dig
nitaries referred to, but we desire
to direct attention specially to the
attitude of this sheet, while some Of
its leading men, its shining lights
are proclaiming their good will and
fri ,ndship towards Mr.. Pinchback
He desires no such traltOrOus
friendship. If the period has ar
rived when political differences
must drive men, hitherto friends
into unscemly hostility, and reno
the friendships of affinity ant
consanguinity," why let men openl.
assume the position with all it
responsibilities and advantages O.
disadvantages; but save us from tn
deceit and mockery of men wh'
pretend undying friendship, an'
esteem, and yet seize every Oppor
tunity to stab and wound ant
destroy.

sSyThe New Orleans Tin

EyThe New Orleans Times in
some of its efforts to be sarcastic
succeeds in making itself SO su-
premely contemplate that we
wonder it dotsat see that its at
tempts "cost more than they come
to-. 1t is now engaged in the very
laudable undertaking of ferretting
all the most discre ditable things i:
can discover against Lieutenant
Governor Plnchback. And it finds
out that he started out in life - a
knife sinner" and passing up
through q variety of vicissitudes
which men of the stamp of the
Times writer, made u necessity for
poor colored youth, etc, lands him
self in the position he fills to-day.
1t were arrant foolishness to re-
mind the reader, of the host of nolle
men, some of the w;sest and best
of this country and of the world,
whose origin is as obscure and
whose antecedeuts are no more
aristocratic than Mr.. Piachbacks.
Whose parentage are not to be
found in the pages of Debrett or
Burke, but who by their own ener
gies, industry and perseverance i'm
pressed themselves on the age in
which they lived and left the en-
couraYing record Of their achieve
mcnts to beckon us on to similar
fields of usefulness and honor.

TREATY.

The Commercial Treaty conclud-
ed in 1870 between France and
England, for ten years, is now open
to abrogation by either party on
giving one years notice. 1t is es-
sentially a free-trade treaty-that
is, step towards putting France
and England in economical relations
with each other similar to those
which exist between the various
States of this Union. The origin Of
the treaty was unfortunate, as it
was a mere emanatiCn of the En-
peror's will, on which the nation
was not consulted but it has
proved satisfactory to nearly all
Frenchmen not engaged in the cot
ton or iron trades. 1t was, however,
always an object of fierce hostility
on the part of Mr.. Theirs, who is
protectioniss of the last century {;
and when he took Office and made
NJ. Poxyer-Quertier, a Rouen manu-
facturer, and as ardent O protec-
ZIONIST as himself, his Minister Of
Finance, everybody ielt tae treaty
was doomed. Nevertheless, it now
appears that the new government
recoils from abrogatinS it, and has
contented itself with trying to
negotiate some notifications OF
it, but thus far unsuccess;ullv.
In the meantime, the Cooden
Club, in England, as a sort OF
tribute to the memory OF their
patron, who was the author OF the
treaty, has issued pamphlet,
giving the result of ten years OF its
working, taken from the ANNALS Of
Foreign Trade" published by the
French Ministry OF Commerce, and
they are toler:bly instructive. The
general commerce" Of France had
increased in value, from 1860 to
1868, by $40, 100000, including in
this all importations and exporta-
tons OF all kinds, and tor all pur-
poses-that is. importations, whether
for consumption or for re-exporta-
ton, aud explorations. whether of
French or foreign products. In the
special commerce" or importations
for consumption only, and exporta-
tons of French products only,
there was in the same period an in
crease in value of $332, OO0,0O in
the exports. and Of $l31. SO0. 600 in
the imports. aa
It ought to be remembered, too,
in examining these figures, that
French trade with England trade

FAMILY REUNIoN.-TwO or three
days ago, Mr.. William Kenner, who

city, and the tour brothers met to-
gether around the family board III
health, harmony and hilarity for the
first time in seventeen years. Great
was their joy and rejoicing in con-
sequence. We are not aware how
many friends and neighbors they
called in to rejoice with them," but
we regret that q prior engagement
prevented us from availing oursell
of the invitation of our genial friend
Dick" We are glad to hear that
the occasion was worthily improved.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.

nOThere can be no doubt that
tho Senate did an eminently wise
thing when it adjourned, after elect
ing a President and Lieutenant
Governor, refusing to proloHg the
session and thus involve the State
in the expenditure of thousands of
q. liars for the mileage and per diem
of members. This was the first
s,sp taken to afford evidence Of the
carnestness Of majority Of the
Senate to avoid unnecessary out
lays.

DEMOCRATIC COALITION.

Whatever may be said OF the CO.
alition formed by the Democratic
Senators with the disaffeeted clique,
one thing is unmistakable that the
sole object and aim Of that parry Is
to disorganize and divide Republic
cans, and to promote this they will
resort to any device however ap-
parently dishonorable or desper-
ate to compass their much adored
object to slide into power through
the breach.
The great bulk of the Republican
party of this State will not fail to
penetrate these designs, and dis
card the men and faction among
us who thus dare to tamper and
coquette with an avowed and raH-
corous foe, whose every record is
hostile to the enjoyment OF equal
civil and political liberty to the
colored man. Whose most author
itative expounders to-day all over
the country denounce the Four
teenth and Fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution of the United
States, declare neither of them
valid, and labor, and hope, and
sacrifice, and wait for the ultimate
triumph of Democracy.
And these are the men, this is
the party we find Republicans af-
filiating with under the delusive
and pretended guise of Reform
for the overthrow of the only regu-
lar and effective Republican organ
ization in the State. A party to
secure whose vote in the election ol
President of the Senate, man, q
colored man, Senator Ingraham who
is claimed by the organ of thai
hybrid association, to stand better
as leader of his race than Mr.
Pinchback," had to be ignored, and
while loudly claiming and contend
ing that the Office should be fllet
by a colored man, were driven to 81
, far pander to the preiudices of thei
Democratic allies as to nominate {
white man, and with singular incOn
} sistency claim it to have been dom
sin the name of the Republican
party of Louisiana
The Republican party Of thi
State as long as it remains true t.
lis principles never can nor will en
dorse any such course, and the mel
who to foist themselves into powe
and position joined the Democracy
will be made t. reap in the no
/, distant future, the reward Of thei
a.. own doiags. Their unworthines

A Voice from Virginia,

Mr.. A. n. H. Stuart, OF Virginia.
has made his contribution Of ad.
vice to the Democratic party in its
extremity, and it is, that in the
Presidential campaign of next YEAR
the name of Democrat and Consr.
vative be dropped, ard that "tAs
high and holy purposes Of tic
Democratic party be indicated by
the name of constitutional party
This proposition has a fine Old
Belevert flavor. Our platform, said
that famous party, is the Union, the
Constitution, and the enforcement.
Of TIE laws. But it may truly be
said Of Mr.. Stualt's method Of
Democratic victory made easy that
the name his suggests is as apprO-
pirate as these that he would dis
card. A party which, while de.
Tending and extending human slave
nv, called itself Democratic, snd
while actively in ore part OF tie
country, and passively in the other,
trying to overthrow tho govern
ment, called itself Conservative,
may also, when foiled in the attempt
to destroy the Constitution, solemnIy
call itself Constitutional. The mot
ley host called the Democratic parry
is quite as constitutional ss 1t Is
democratic, and as CONSERVATIVE"
it. is constitutional.

SERENApE TO LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
PINcHBAcK AND SENATOR HARRIS.

PNcHBAcK AND SENATOR HARRIS.
The jubilant feelings of the Re-
publcans of New Orleans, conse-
quent upon the victory in the SEN
ate yesterday, over the combined
forces of the factionists and Demo-
Gratis, found vent last night in a
most enthusiastic demonstration.
About II P. NJ, prominent and
influential members of cur party,
some two hundred in all, accom-
panied by fine brass band, sud
denly awakened spirit-stirring melo-
dies in front Of the residence of the
newly elected Lieutenant Governor,
Hon. p. b. S. Pinchback.
After two or three airs had been
played, Mr.. Pinchback made his
appearance, and, in his usual felici-
tous and happy manner, thanked
those who were testifying their
respect for and conidepce in him.
He regretted that painting and the
repairs which his residence was
undergoing prevented BIN from
inviting his friends thereinto, but
he quantity suggested that lie knew
where refreshments for tie Inner
man could be procured.
This suggestion resulted in IN
adjournment to the rooms of the
Louisiana Progressive Club, where
wine and wit flowed freely, and
patriotic sentiments, including "con-
tiDued confusion TO the immaterial
coalition" were Guatfed in bumpers.
4 motion to extend the sererade
to include Senator \. =. Harris, OF
Concordia parish, who is Temporal
rily residing on Rampant street,
near Barracks, was cordially acqni-
esced in, and headed by the band,
discoursing martial strains, the
} whole company proceeded thither.
The welcome was as hearty and
cordial as the Senator's reputation
warranted his friends IN expecting,
and toasts and speeches soon again
became the order of the occasion.
Governor Pinchback introduced
Senator Harris to those whom he
! had not previously met, and took
} advantage OF the opportunity to
heartily indorse his consistency and
earnestnessa rs Republican through
out his public career in Louisiana.
= Senator Harris commented upon
the victory over the Customhonse-
Democratic alliance as the salvation
Of the party in Louisiana; eulogized
the late Oscar j. Dunn in eloquent
terms, and stated that this alliance
was deliberate treochery to the
teachings and principles OF TIE
deceased Lieutenant Governor. He
; concluded by the assertion that H.
G. Warmoth as Governor and P.
b. S. Pinchback as Lieutenant
Governor would carry the Repub-
lican party to victory in 1872 with
4 majority of 10000 votes, which
sentiment was received with pro-
longed and enthusiastic cheering.
Senators Hunsaker and holland
followed in similar strap, and
. added to the enthusiastic feeling
! already existing.
. 1t was well into tho morning
when the party dispersed. All felt
and expressed the conviction that q
: new lease of power had been won
for the Republican party in this
: State, and that they could afford to
, transcend their usual regular habit:

A Young Girls Thoughts.

Parepa Rosa was singing Casta
Diva at San Francisco. Folding
her white hands on her bosom, and
raising her tender eyes, she com
menced with her Eolian notes, the
melody swelling and breaking into
gush of plaintive, supplicating
harmony, that vibrated through ev-
cry chord of the heart. l glanced
at my friend at my side, radiant in
her dress and halo of golden hair,
and there was sweet, fensive look
on her down-cast face. The music
ceased, and the audience, wild with
enthusiasm, was demanding an
encore, when my beautiful compan-
ion raised her large, serene eyes to
mine, and said: "Isn't it sad?"
EYES," replied 1, quickly sharing
her feelings, "though SO glorious, it
touches melancholy chord"

Remarks Of Sergeant 1zlmon Joy to the White
ans Committee Of Spuaky Point, Wiatois.l
reckon git your drift, gents
You low the boy sha'nt stay;
This is white mans country
You're DimOcrats, you say;
And whereas. and seein', and wherefore,
The times bein' all out O. j'int.
The niger has got to mosey
Prom the limits o. Spunky Pint!
Les reason the thing minute:
I'm an old-fashioned Dimocrat too,
Though laid my politics ont o. the way
For to keep till the war was through.
But 1 come back here allowin
To vote as used to do,
Though it gravels me like the devil to train
Along o. sch fools as you.
Now dog my cats eff kin see,
In all the light of the day,
What you've got to do with the question
Ell Tim shill go or stay.
And furder than that give notice,
Eff one of you tetches the boy.
He kin check his trunks to warmer cline
Than he'll find in Illanoy.
Why, blame your hearts. jest hear me!
You know that ungodly day
When our left struck Vicksburg Heights,
ripped
And torn and tattered we lay:
When the rest retreated staid behind,
Fur reasons sufficient to me-
With a rib caved in, and leg on a strike,
sprawlcd on that cursed glacee.
Lord how the hot sun went for us,
And Drilled and blistered and burned!
How the rebel bullets whiZZed round lis
When a cuss in his death-grip turned!
Till along towards dusk see thing
couldn't believe for spell:
That nigger-that Tim-was a-Crawlin' TO me
Through that fire proof, gilt-edged HE'LL
The rebels seen him as quick as me,
And the bullets buZZed like bees;
But he jumped for me, and shouldered me.
Though a shot bro't him once to his knees !;
But he staggered up, and packed me off,
With dozen stumbles and falls,
Till safe in our lines he drapped us both,
His black hide riddled with balls.
So, my gentle gazelles. thar's my answer,
And here stays Banty Tim;
He trumped Deaths ace for me that day,
And I'm not goin' back on him!
You may reZoloot till the cows come home,
But eff one of you tetches the boy,
He'll wrastle his hash tonight in hell,
Or my names not Tilmon joy!
