at the American Union Club the instinct

signal blow was struck at the useless
prescription winch. like the ghost OF

cation which Providence has made such

WHY NOT.

Tho democrats found fault with Mr..
Greeley for coming to see them unlimited
by the upper ten Of the past, and now
that colored men have responded to in
vitation from the upper ten Of the present,
and gone into the American Union Club
rooms to honor MIR. Greeley, some of our
colored friends find fault too. They ssy
it is humiliating for any colored man
to 90 the American Union Club, be-
cause heretofore it has been proscript-

proper thing to do for colored men to
accept the ballot? They had been pro-
scribed, even enslaved was it wrong il
them to accept their freedom? Any sup
posi:ion that the fault-fnders think the,

received IN the way Of freedom and en-
franchisement Is so repugnant to common

CARRIERS BALL.

Trae to our promptings we put in our
appearance at the Letter Carriers Grand
Ball, at National Hall on Friday night
last. There was quite large and re-
spectacle number of ladies and gentle
men, who dressed in the height OF FASH
ion, and in the hey-day of life and enjoy
ment, were enthusiastically tripping
"the light fantastic toe" as we entered
Dancing continued with slight intermis-
sions until about l o'clock when interest
centred ON the event of the evening the
selection and crowning of the May
Queen. The Committee withdrew and
after brief absence in which speculation
on the favorite lady became rife, 1t was
announced from the orchestra that the
choice had fallen on Miss Lily Little.
This young, lady who was lastly attired
in white, and in the height of fashsion,
was then conducted to o dais at the up
per end of the hall and seated.
Here she was attended by Misses
Alice Somerville, Ellen Little, Amanda
Bird, Sarah Haynes, E. Clark, and Anna
Francis, as maids of honor, and sur
rounded by the entire company who
anxiously looked on at the approaching
ceremony. Mr.. c. E. Wheeler advanced
and informing Miss Little Of the choice
expressed his qualification in the per-
Torrance of the task assigned him, Of
adjoining her head with the beautiful
crown and pronomcing her Queen o.
OF the May" Mr.. W. G. Brown on be
half of the Queen briefly and suitably
responded to the address. and after
round of cheerful applause, the newl.
elected lady was borne round the spa
cious hall, to the sounds of an inspiring
march" by the band. This ceremon.
over. dancing was resumed and continued
till supper time, when the company al
most IN nasse paid their tribute Of atten
ton to the well supplied supper table
The bill of fare was well put up ant
Judging from the evident govt with whicl

sense, that the simple query serves its
purpose by being propounded.
Now then, these colored guests Of the
Club did no more or less in moving for
ward in the social pathway, than any and
all of our race have done in making
political progress.
This fault-fnding has an aspect of the
ridiculous in it. We all know that wealth
is useless to noble minded men, except as
an agency to secure what naturally sur
rounds those who are put forward, in the
main, by the people as their representa-
tives-in fact the people feel themselves
o little bit under representated when
their representatives are either too poor
or too stingy to entertain anybody; and
they feel this quite strongly when nobody
will entertain their representatives. Is it
not then ridiculous to suppose that q
man who commands consideration
enough to be invited to such place as
the American Union Club, is either desti-
tute of a sense of propriety as to whether
he ought to go or not, or coward enough
to forego natural qualification and hon
or, for fear that some one who could not
possibly beg an invitation, would say they
did not go because they were representa-
tive men, although the representative men
were invited, it will be seen, and the fault
finders were not, "and yet they were not
happy"
Let us drop this nonsense, and become
as proud of our successful men, as the
white race are OF theirs, and it will not
be long before our union as race will
counterbalance the advantages, which
the white people wrung from our blood
in bondage, and are now coming out Of
our disunion in the very hey-day of oul
reimbursement
The Southern white man never asks
our counsel unless he wants our help
let us make it rule never to give oul
help unless our counsel is asked; and
above all keep this in mind, that we al
ways help them without their asking
when we needlessly find fault with ou
representative men.

CANAL ON CANAL SrRzEr.-The idea OF
filing up this unsightly thing is good
one every way, but the cart seems to be
little before the horse. This canal has
been serving very useful purpose, and
one for which it certainly never was in
tended. The water from it has been
used repeatedly by our fire companies in
the extinguishment of fires on or near
this street, and but for the supply from
this source, many property would
doubtless have been reduced to ashes
To fill this canal and not to lay water
pipes along Canal Street would be inju-
dicious and thoughtless We hope that
our City Fathers will determine before
they fill up the canal to be mindful Of the
necessity of providing a supply of water
in case of fire. The objection Of property
owners in the neighborhood against the
filing up of this canal springs solely, w
are confident, from this cause, and VI
think the objection very reasonable and
proper.

A LITTLE HASTY.

Here is what the State Journal says in
it's last issue:
"The Louisianian, a semi-weekly sheet,
published in the city of New Orleans, and
ably edited by VIM. G. Brown, Esq,
has within the last two or three weeks
thrown few hot Goals upon the head of
the New Orleans Standard, which shows
at once the attitude of the two journals,
both controlled by colored men. We can
readily see the reason Of this, and laugh to
think few country papers should pick
up the fight of New Orleans and make
it their own. Now we don't propose to
do years fighting before the battle
commences In 1872 We, who live, will
see contest unequalled in the history of
this country, and each of us will be
wanted at his post and tit for duty.
Our battle will be, not against each other,
but against a common political foe,
Democracy. We do not wish to meet
them, jaded and worn out by the tedious
uncertain results of years skirmishing,
but with full ranks and men well drilled,
standing ready to take the offensive or
assume the aggressive just as circumstan-
, ces shall demand. Let calm dispassion-
ate Judgment guide us now, and when the
time shall come for real work it will not
find us unprepared.
COMMENTS OF The LoUIsrAxIAN.
Our contemporary is little hasty: first
he is mistaken in supposing that both
the journals he refers to are controlled
by colored men. To our knowledge, the
Standard has never been controlled by
colored men. For some time the Standard
has manifested little life and ability;
but it was neither inspired by colored
mems talents, nor by colored mems money.
Now it is well known that the LOUISE
AN1AN commenced its existence with funds
subscribed wholly by colored men, and
it is equally well known that it has never
published single line, as editorial, writ
ten by white men. This is susceptible OF
proof.
Our friend seems to be hasty in anoth-
err respect He has jumped to the con-
clusi0n that in orr fight we need his as
sistance and that of his country brethren.
We assure him We do not. We conduct
our journal to suit its editors and man.
ayers. and while wo concede to all our
friends the right to criticise our course,
we do not think this freedom ought to
sanction impertinence, and beget ostenta-
t;ous refusals to give assistance where il
has never been asked, and when it is not
likely it will ever he wanted.
Our friend gives excellent advice about
keeping energies for the campaign" etc.
and in the light of his advice it is diff
crlt for us to see the point and reason
of it's reft ,nce to ourselves; it may be
however, that our friend has learned o
the Standards death, and aspires to ik,
honors Of martyrdom. If so, the knigh
who slew that dragon still keeps the sad
die, and is ready alike for mendacious pc
litical sheets like the deceased SandarC
and impairment ones. like the State jour
nal, who may wish. to ride into notoriet.

CRY PARK AND PoLIcE.-We heard a
good suggestion to one Of our Police
Commissioners day or two ago. 1t was
to the effect that at this season OF the
year when the City Park is so extensive
" and 30 constantly visited by the pic
mic loving community, it would be vel
to place one or two extra policemen ou'
there, whose mere presence would serve
as warning to stray rough who might
be spirited enough 10 render his conduct
or language offensive. We think the in
timation timely one, and therefore pass
it over to the police authorities with tn
recommendation that it be adopted.

REALLY GOOD INVENTION.

It is very seldom we commend to the
public in this way patent Improvements
and inventions. which belong more proper
" to our advertising columns. What We
have to commend. however. so deeply con
Germs the health, happiness and comfort
of our American women, that we make no
apology for giving it our mos: emphatic
approval and endorsement. The inven-
ton referred to is the great American
Washer, which is claimed to he in every
conceivable respect superior to any other
washer" extant. It IS the smallest, m ost
compact, most portable, most easily opera
ted, and is not al all liable to get out Of
order. It's construction is so simple, that
even a child can be successfully taught To
operate in an incredible short space of
time.
Some of the most prominent and de-
sirable features in this washer" which is
an inducement in ITSELF are worthy of es-
pecial commentator. They are these:
1t is always ready for use; there is no ad-
justing; no screws to confuse and annoy,
and no delay whatever in adapting it.
Everything seems to have been done that
Ingenuity could suggest and in our esti-
mation it is simply a practical. sensible
and beautiful invention, and only requires
TO be seen to be appreciated. which cannot
fail to please the most fasttd:ous.- Phi!Q-
