matters Of the colored people. There
is here, if this extract be properly
credited, an impudent attempt at
dictation on the part of a white man
as to what a colored man ought to
do in his social relations, which if
attempted by a colored man towards
the whites would justly bring him
in contact with the toe of their boot.
When did a political upstart earn
the right of debating to a man like
Rapier, who is not only his superb
or as to his official position but who
is head and shoulders above in in
brains and character!
We trust the State. Journal is in
nocent, but if it is guilty, we are
satisfied to turn it over to the ten
der mercies of Rapier Craig and
Thompson, whose dignity have been
offended and whose sclf-respect has
been assailed.

1t is terrible guest, this handwri-

moment the curtain is rent, and the
future lies stern, memorable, hem

There is no outlet from the bridge
less gulf; and whether the real
meaning of the sign is interpreted
or not, there comes with it the con-
sciousness of some unavoidable des-
tiny. This voice of prophecy, or
whatever it may be called, speaks in
various tongues; sometimes through
dreams; sometimes in subtle intu-
ition, apart from reason; sometimes
through o combination of natural or

the "bath col" of the Hebrews, or
the "sortes" of Pagan or Christian
nations.

IMPUDENCE, OR A LIE.

j The Mobile Ala Tribune, which,
however, is poor authority on such
matters, makes the Alabama STATE
JOURNAL use the following language:
eItis often charged that the Re-
publican party favors the social
equality of the races. This charge
is SO persistently made, on account
of the fact, that the Democrats well
know it would injure the Republi-
can party at the South, if true. But
the Democrats know, as well as we
do that the charge is utterly false.
"While the Republican party holds
to the doctrine that every man has
the legal right to select the associ-
ates of himself and family, it has
not, nor never will, advocate the ad-
mixture of the two races on terms
of social equality. If white man
invites colored people to his house
as guests, on terms of social inter
course with his family, We think
those decent colored zen who re-
spond to such an invitation and
visit that house Ought to be ever af-
forwards ashamed of having kept
such bad company.
1--WE do not believe that any re-
spectacle colored man can long as
sociate with such characters and re-
tain his good name; and we are
glad to find that the respectable
portion of our colored friends, such
as James T. Rapier, Henry Hunter
Craigh, Holland Thompson, and
others, cannot be inveigled into any
such associations. We warn all the
Icolored people against every white
man who,o While seeking Office, at
tenpts to get them to associate with
him and. his family, tits degrading
tosyou, and the decent citizens Of
the community will always looh
upon yod BY seoiAl equality. Thes'
men viii always use you as tools ~
long IS you associate with them ant
their families. and when they have
crushed you by arraying all good
men against You, they viii turn
upon you and become your wors
enemies. No decent colored MAI
win ever agree to social equality
with such white men. If they do
then they are lost to all sense O.
shame"

water has risen at the rate of twelve
inches in twelve hours. It now floods
Canal street to Dryades street, and on
Common street the water extends to
Rampant. In the angle of the city
formed by the Old Basin, Claiborne
street and Elysian Fields street there is
but little water, only such. indeed, as
arise from overfowed sewers. But be-
tween Elysian Fields street and Lafay-
cite Avenue, and far beyond Florida
Walk, the food extends uninterrupted
" to o vast lake-a miniature sea.
Nor does it stop here, but covers all
the vast area below Canal street from
Bayou st. John to Jourdan Avenue,
and from Hagan Avenue. up to Poy-
dras, to Rampant street. Nearly every
homestead in this wide extent is sur
rounded bysswster. Many families
have left; but others still remain con-
fined to their houses, and suffering for
flood. It is true the charitably. dis
posed and the authorities are putting
forth every exertion to minister to
their necessities; but their facilities for
Transporting food are few. and many
must suffer the greatest extremity be-
fore assistance can reach them.
cit was reported yesterday evening
that the water was slowly receding at
Milneburg; but this does not appear
possible, in view of the fact that it is
rising elsewhere. The same volume
of water that passes over the rear OF
the city would contribute equally to a
rise at the Lake End. All of the street
cars beyond Rampant street have
stopped. The travel on this street
however will scarcely be affected I'M
less. indeed. it be those cars which run
out Esplanade street. The advance in
this direction, of course, is not to be
thought of.
SIN brief, this is the present con
dition of the food. II il hardly pro
4 bable that it can remain so long, and
by the time this is in print the refu,
may set in.
Toward noon there was an evidcn
abatement in the rise, and towards
nightfall the waters began receding

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.


The colored voters of Washing
ton city had it in their power to re-
elect Mayor Bowen in 1870, but by
senseless opposition to a man at
the sacrifice of parry success, they
first disorganized the ranks and
then bolted the regular convention.
The man, Mr.. NJ. G. Emery, who
was elected by the boilers, turned
out to be worse than q Democrat,
because he deceived both sides That
aided in his election. The result of
disappointment among politicians
on this account was so great that
nothing but change of government
seemed to offer remedy for the ex-
isting state of things. A change
was finally made, and q territorial
form of government was granted
the District by Congress.
The results of this Washington
bolt III 1870 is remarkably sugges-
tive. AS soon as Republican
strength was squandered and Re
publican unity violated in the Dis
trict, it was taken for granted in
every rebel hamlet of the South
that negro suffrage had proved a
failure under the very shadow OF
the Capitol, and that the best friends
of our race had repudiated us as
political allies. The currents of this
political disaster swept on South till
North Carolina and Alabama were
added to the list of States lost to
the Republican party. The conf
dence gained by the Democracy
from this defeat at Washington WAS
not greater than the decentralization
of the negro ranks through incom-
petent leadership, partisan jealousy
and overrunning ambition.
Let us take warning by this ex.
ample, for the illustration Of the eyi
effects of the Washington bolt ha'
two sides. Not only did its infu-
ence reach the Southern States
but the reAuent waves have rolled
