THE NEW LIEUT.. GOVERNOR

Under this caption the st. James
Sentinel, under the editorship of
Mr.. Geo. E. Bovee, treats of the
new Lieutenant Governor. He does
this in style and manner in such
perfect accord we presume with
his real sentiments that we would
hate to garble his article, and there
fore offer it in its entirely to our
readers
P. B. S. Pinchback, the new
Lieut.. Governor of the State of
Louisiana, is so we'll known to most
of our readers, that any comments
upon him that we may make will
seem almost entirely unnecessary.
Of his early history we know moth
ing. He was elected to the State
Senate on the regular Republican
ticket in 1868, and since that time
has been a prominent and infuen-
tial member of that body. He is a
ready debater, an easy and graceful
speaker, courteous and gentlemanly
in his manners, perhaps a little
vain; but always pleasing and agree
able, manly and independent.
He is we'll versed in parliament
tary tactics, and will as President of
the Senate, preside over the DELHI
erations of that body with dignity
and impartiality adding new laurels
to those already won; rejecting
credit upon the Senate and the
Republican party, Of which he is one
of the ablest representatives. We
have never been numbered among
the admirers of Senator Pinchback,
nor do we believe that we have ever
been looked upon as his enemy.
We belong to one branch of the
republican party, while the Lieut..
Governor is closely allied with the
other, and is undoubtedly the ablest
representative of his race among
them.
We welcome for a second time
colored man as the second highest
officer of the State; hoping, trusting
and believing that the vacant chair"
so ably filed by his predecessor will
never be disgraced by him who has
been chosen by the voice of the
Senate as its future occupant.
Elected by men belonging to his
own party alone; thorough going
republican himself; a fearless and
outspoken supporter of General
Grant for the next President, we
firmly believe that he can do more,
to unite the discordant elements
of our party, than it is the power of
any other man in the State to ac-
complish. Much will depend, how
ever, upon the course he pursues.
If conciliatory, and disposed to look
to the future welfare of the party
and State, we.predict for him, a
brilliant future. If revengeful and
inclined to distrust good men who
have differed from him, as to the
best policy to be pursued to advance
the interests of the party and peo-
pie, his success will be doubtful and
his usefulness greatly impaired.
One thing we feel assured of,
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback will
never be the willing tool Of any
politician, or set of politicians. Al
though the choice OF the Governor

Mr.. Allen Green,
DEAR SIR-Since the day I saw
you on train for q few minutes, l
have often thought that as nothing
comes by Chance" (not even the
fall of a sparrow to the ground
there might Providence connected
with it for the upr3ising and in
struction of those who were former
ly slaves in this country, particular
ly the females, who seem heretofore
to have been overlooked in the eff
fort made to prepare a portion OF
the race, as teachers, missionaries,
and models to their brothers and
sisters, in virtue and all true know
ledge. It is plain that it is the
methers of any race, white or black,
that give tone and character to that
race. If they remain ignorant and
degraded, the children can not
be otherwise as in their earlier
years they are under the manage
ment of the mother nearly alto
gether. Acting under this impress
sion 1 was the "mover' in starting
the female Seminary for colored
girls in Concord, N. C., now one
year ago. 1t is now going on sue
cessfully, with about fifty students,
who are separated from the con-
terminating influence which sur
rounds them, doing their own cook
ing, washing, making and mending;
thus living cheaply and getting pre-
pared to be good house keepers
and mothers of christian families,
they are constantly under the eye
of their teachers, who 60 to church

meeting house is on the lot ad-

The minister who breaches for
them (the Rev. Luke Darland) is

Seminary. If you should succeed
in establishing a colored Seminary
in your State; when it is in opera
ton with charter from the State,
and a deed for the property secur-
ing it to the Baptist Church, and
to be under their control, I will
give to start an endowment fund,
$1,000; if enough others will give

be applied annually to the support
of the Seminary. If you would
correspond with the Rev. Luke
Darland on the subject, I think he
could give you satisfactory informa-
ton on the subject. Write to Rev.
A. c. McClelland, Treasurer of the
Freedman's Committee of the
Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. My means are lin
tied, arising from the rent of $50
acres of land, but as I have no
family, I can lay it out in aiding

GREENSBORO, La,
November %, 1871.
The above letters were received
at this Office several days since, and
I have now concluded to give our
newspapers an opportunity to pub
lish the same, believing the senti-
ments noble and philanthropic, and
the subject worthy the attention of
the moral, religious and progressive
people.
1t is unnecessary for me to say a
word to the honor and greatness Of
this Irish nobleman, Matthew Scott.
Every one can read his noble heart
by reading the above letter. I will
only say that I have large family,
some of which are yet to raise and
educate; but I will join my friend
Scott, in his laudable undertaking,
by subscribing one thousand dollars,
to be paid in building materials, on
condition that said Institute be To-
Gated at the very healthy village of
Greensboro, jackson parish, with
the further suggestion that thirty
thousand dollars would be enough
for beginning.
ALLEN GREEN.
We commend the consideration
of this subject to the attention Of
the philantbropic men and women
among us, who with true magma
nimity, but little money, are ever
found so ready to be foremost in
every noble cause. Here is cause
worthy their devotion and here is
an opportunity to establish in a
very desirable locality an Institu-
ton specially adaptad to peculiar
wants.
We desire especially to draw the
attention of our contemporaries in
the parishes to this matter, and
hope they will give it that prom
ineuce and discussion it so well
deserves.
