Some muddy man wrote a piece
in the Fdg of the 18th. The read
ing of it put us in mind of an Incl
dent not rare with youths of tender
age. A boy once tried to straight
en- an iron hoop. Beating and ham
mering at one end, it became more
crooked at the other, the more he
tried, the more kinks, until in des-
peration he cast it aside and resolved
never to attempt such a thing again.
Reading the muddy man any way,
no one can make him straight. The
more he is read, the worse his
writing gets. He is simply an ig-
norant, empty-headed loon. He
belongs to the jay-hawkers of li.era-
ture who murder language on both
sides OF any question, and who can
not tell themselves on which cline"
they want to fight, or whether they
are attacked or defended.

n%And now rushes forth, in the
editorial arena of the National Fac,
another hero eager for the fray,
flourishing wildly veritable "sprig
of shillalah" over the devoted heads
of the doomed ''Ifish Republican
Club" and alarming his country
men(?) with the recollection of the
shades of O'Connell, Curran, Shiel,
and the thousand other Irish pa
triots, etc. Poor Club; how we
commiserate you, when your conduct
in the matter of an expression of
an opinion should call down on
your devoted heads the indignation
of a chronic grumbler, disappointed,
disconnected aspirant after distinc-
ton, who with acknowledged ability,
but unfortunately Invested of those
traits which attract and attach men
to each other, signally fails in Sc
curing that recognition which his
accomplishments doubtless other
wise fit him for. Verbum sap.

THE FAC ON REFORM.

Reform should not be a mere
trench dug in front of a party-line,
but a wide, deep pit. into which
having cast the present official cor
ruption, the people may likewise
disembarrass themselves of many
factious feuds, which i'll become
them as brethren in the common
veal. Fog.
That is true. The first things
thrown in were the printing con-
tracts. But what have these Tags
given up for the State? What do
they propose to sacrifice, reduce or
surrender? Not one thing unless
it be a corporation job to pass
through the Legislature and make
the State pay its expenses. Tlde

and similar swindles. Governor
Warmoth believes in practical re-
form. He began it year ago, and
millions that would have been taken
from the State, were stopped by
his prompt action in the Courts.

WHAT THE FAGS WANT.
The organ of this despairir

The organ of this despairing
crew says:
To-day, nearly seven years since
the surrender of the insurgent
armies, and nearly four years since
our decrepit State forsook the mill
tary crutch to poise itself anew in
the path of advance, we find our
selves not only wroth with our local
administration as worthless staff,
but impatient for a national elbow
on which again to lean"
Well, that is hefty. "Forsaking
the military crutch, and looking
for national elbow" We rather
think that elbow is an arm. Many
ga worthless STAFF of military ad-
ministration in the days of '66 and
'68 were busy in gasconades to
Washington, and defending white
men for shooting niggers. This
is the game now. The State is
thoroughly Republican, and the
dreaded ''nigger" is in Office and
shows himself as faithful to his
trust as many of his white compeers
are faithless. The arms sent hither
when we are all at peace, when
order reigns everywhere are in
tended to do but one thing, to in
timidate and put down the colored
man. The hint in the above choice
selection should not be lost. The
columns of the Fag are daily inter-
spersed with illusions which the
colored men know full we'll how to
estimate.
We would not trust single man
of that set. They want the votes
of the colored men, but when the
time for giving Office comes round,
scan the Customhouse an roll
and one will find a colored man, as
a door-keeper, porter, or some
such mental position, starving on a
stipend, and barely existing on a
pittance. Then, the military arm
arrived, more deputy marshall will
be a ointed than at present, from
the bulk of the Customhouse Fags
throughout the State. Will the
Editor of the Fag state, for what is
he fighting ? Why he ''split?" What
the difference is ? The military arm
will not induct the ring into Office,
nor span the chasm they have made;
the pit they have any for themselves
and their political carcass.

bH~Louisiana is suffering for the
want of capital. But there is one
thing that the people of Louisiana,
who want money so badly, may as
well recollect, and that is this: That
the high rate of interest will not bring
capital half as fast as guaranteed
protection. To give this, some change
In the laws are necessary, for a very
general opinion prevails in the North
and West that it is very uncertain that
a capitalist is likely TO live long enough
to see his money again.
The above extract is from a re-
cent number of the OpelousGs Jour
nal, and contains considerably more
truth than poetry.

COMMUNICATED.
FOR THE LOUISIANIAN,

Dear LoUIsIANIAN-Since your adj
vent into the sea of journalism 1
am constrained to believe that with
out your assistance in the ranks of
republicanism, to-day there would
be more found struggling in the
vortex Of political corruption under
the leadership of vile corruptionist
Messrs. Packard, Casey and Carter,
than what few followers they have
at present. 1t may be true with
them that the "laborers are few" in
which part of the vineyard. Be it so.
Are they not aware that the portion
that they contend to belong to the
Republican party, is nothing more
nor less than democratic posses
sion ? Has not Speaker Carter al
ready alienated himself land those
who rallied around his standard)
from the ranks of the party who
have elevated him to the position
he now occupies =? If the Carterites
still claim allegiance with the Re-
publicans, why this coalition with
the democrats against the Repub-
LEANS choice for presiding officer
in the State Senate ? This suffices
the colored element as to his and
supporters aims and to-day Gov.
H. G. Warmoth stands more per-
manent as successful Republican
leader than any other of his race in
the State of Louisiana.
The election of the Hon. p. B. S.
Pinchback as President of the SEN
ate, and ex-officio Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the State, has met with the
hearty approval of an overwhelming
majority in this parish, and although
there was a demonstration made
here in the municipality previous
to the assembling of the Senate by
a few Customhouse employees who
endorsed the "new departurist, :"
Senator J. H. Ingraham as the sue
cessor to Lieutenant Governor
Dunn, (deceased,) vt when an
inquiry was made as to how MANY
were present On the occasion, it
was found that it was only one of
"John T. Claiborne's" efforts, (who
only meant that he wanted to re-
tain that important position as
clerk in the Customhouse, i. e.,
porter or bell-boy for my brother
in-law Casey,) and five or ask
others, who are now more bitterly
opposed to him than they we're at
that time favorable for him.
This then is the state of affairs
that the last number of the first
volume of the LoU1sIANIAN leaves us
in. That it has been q success un-

The Republica Friday with
singular incisiveness cuts direct and
deep into few matters connected
with the issuing of warrants and
drafts of money by ga brace of re-
formers" The writings and an
guish caused by this operation seem
not to have subsidized sufficiently
for the patients to "speak calmly"
We reiterate the language of our
contemporary and assure the cate
chumens that "The people might be
thankful to these astute Legislative
officials for information as to what
they mean by the rather indefinite
charges "extra mileage" and extra
per diem," and how much these
items contribute toward swelling to
the enormous sum of three-quarters
of a million dollars the cost of
sixty day session of the lower branch
OF the Legislature.
The above inquiries will do to
start with. We have more mathema-
teal and legal problems in reserve,
which we have great confidence
Speaker Carter can elucidate if he
will. We have his own admission
that during his thirty days service
as a member on the floor, and an
equal period as presiding officer, he
could not find time to frame or ad-
vocate simple bill repeating the
"odious printing law" May we not
reasonably hope, therefore, that he
was devot;ng himself to the study
of State finance as practically
operated by his illustrious appointee
of contingent expense fame, and
that he will give a disheartened
and puzzled community the benefit
of his acquired knowledge

der its present management, cannot
be mistaken I; that its editorials to
have contributed q great deal of
good towards harmonilng and sup
porting its motto, none dare to
dispute. And now in conclusion,
let us hope that with your contin-
ued able defense Of the principles
of republicanism and as a sup
porter of our republican admins
tration through the columns of the
LoU1s1ASrAN, your paper will achieve
the greatest success.

OUR FIRST VOLUME.

To-day we complete the first year
of the existence of the LoUIsIAN1AN.
For twelve months have we been
anxiously and constantly engaged
in the accomplishment of the OBJ
jects of our enterprise, to advocate
and promote, as far as in us lay, the
most vital interests of the Republi-
can party in general, and to inform,
to encourage, to protect, to defend.
and to elevate our own people in
particular.
The undertaking we knew was
harassing and frequently an un-
thankful one, and our path has been
beset with all the difficulties which
environ the tread of the journalist.
But happily, it has not been bereft
OF those compensations which more
than neutralize the disadvantages of
opposition, disapproval and abuse,
which narrowmindedness, predju-
dice, jealousy or interest have too
frequently arrayed against us in the
pursuit of the tenor of our way.
Endeavoring, however, at all times
to keep steadily in view the exalted
purposes for which our undertaking
was entered on. it is exceedingly
gratifying to have received during
the year SO many spontaneous and
valuable expressions of approval,
encouragement and endorsement of
competent and impartial judges of
our labors.
We set out afresh to-day, but
with no trepidation or uncertainty.
We have secured ample recogni-
ton. Our position is fully accord
ed. Our mission is accredited, and
as the acknowledged organ of our
people in this State, and a faithful,
if even feeble, adherent and ex-
FOUNDER of true Republicanism, we
again buckle ON our armor and
afresh enter the arena of our con-
fict.
To our friends and supporters
who have contributed by their SUBJ
scriptions to our support we return
the most cordial thanks.
To those unfortunate ones who
have taken our paper during the
past twelve months, and either for
gotten or otherwise neglected to
prove ho,o much they ought to have
valued our paper, all we have to
say is, call and pay us and give us
this token of your approval, and
supply us with money to pay for
the paper, materials, and services,
which we expend to give you
paper.
To our advertisers, we return
our heartiest thanks, and hope that
the extent of our circulation, and
the peculiar advantages we possess
of access to some places and locali-
ties not otherwise reached, will be
an inducement for the continuance
of a patronage conferred on us when
we first ventured in the field of
journalism
To-day we propose to celebrate -
there will be guns fred and in our
next you shall ''hear the report"
