New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-05-21

DR.. B. +. 4Crary continues in the Central
Christian Adpocdte his observations on men
and things in the South. We give a few
extracts:
We hate to give up any trip or adventure
unit! we have done just what We intended,
but the late storms down South were too
the back track to jackson, Tennessee,
and there took a new start for New
Orleans. AT Corinth a colored man,
competitions. said: we doesn't do yery
well down heah, cause de white folks won't
let us. If colored man get up little dey
push him down. Dey been a ku-kluxin
round heah. Dey don't kill us 'zactly, but
dey rob us, which is just as bad. We amt
dom well, no how. Dunno whedder dey
let us vote or not mex time Mighty bad
times wild u.s. Another one gave more
cheerful representation of the state of
things, and thought, 'We'se all git along
better bimeby. Only wants fair chance"
Generally they seemed pretty well dressed
and quite jovial, but many have little con
tidence in white men.
We are glad to see the people turning
their attention to raising fruits, vegetables
and grain, instead of cotton. Oranges
would sweet potatoes, or even cabbages
The great agricultural defect and curse of
the South is its dependence upon other
lands for what it eats.
Let the assurance of safety he given TO
all, let the public lands be open to all, let us
have peace and security to property and
life, let the miserable strites of the dead
past be forever buried, and then we shall
have prosperity. To talk of keeping out

Ored people, and abrogating the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments is IdiOcy If
there are any real Southern men, generals
colonies and captains III the late war, who
are not absolutely and hOpelessly insane, let
them stop the supreme nonsense of some of
their imbecile newspapers, and crush out
the loathesome gangs of ku-klux robbers
and welcome Northern and Western people
and people from Europe, to their cities and
unoccupied lands, and then we shall see
such prosperity as none of them ever
dreamed of. Louisiana has determined to
do this. We are glad to learn that such
men as General LOngstreet, General jeff
Thompson, and even General Beauregard
advise this course. and we are sure the
people will desire it. In this neighborhood
the two Swedes are looked upon with great
favor Every one is ready to help them
build or pillow, and all hope that they will

We have honestly and plainly given
our experiences, observations and ideas of
the South, and have done 80 for love, not
for revenge. God knows that we would
give peace aud prosperity to every part OF
the land if we could. The South is rising
out of the dust. Her cotton crop now
closing out in the market is the largest, ex-
capt one ever made in the country. In five
years of real peace she could double her
products and her population. If her states
men will cease trying to infuse life into a
dead and rotten carcass, they will do well
for their country. Her interests demand
wisdom in council and brOtherly treatment
of all who differ. 1t is siekening and pain
full to think that such a country should be
cursed by crazy counsels and Overrun by
ravening wolves in human shape. Texas
and Louisiana are setting an example TO
the South which we trust will be followed
