its readers of the signs of a rise in
the Mississippi and Red River:
"The thickening Of the Mississippi

the Red River is becoming once

that there is a great quantity of
cotton lying on the banks of that

portation to st. Louis or New

NINE MILLIONS MORE !

Nine million dollars more OF the
public debt, less fifty thousand, was
paid off by Secretary Boutwell,
during the month Of October. This
swells the amount that the debt has
been decreased by General Grants
Administration by the sum of hoO
hundred and serenty-three millions
seuen hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. This is an average reduction
for each of the thirty-two months
President Grant has been in Office
of $8,552,OO0, and makes an annual
saving in interest of over sixteen
millions Of dollars. At the same rate
of increase for the remaining six
teen months of his Administration
there will be a still further reduc-
ton of the public debt of $136, 1872,
600, making the entire decrease for
the four years OF his Administration
over four hundred and Ten millions
of dollars, and an annual saving in
interest about $25, 100000. During
the succeeding Republican admins
tration of four years, upon which
we may safely count, the debt will
be decreased another s4l0, 600, 900

E$The New Orleans Patriot will

s1~The New Orleans Patriot with
mendacity only equalled by its
shameless disregard of all scrupu-
lousness takes up and questions on
no ground whatever the veracity OF
a statement made by us and sup
ported by a series of internal and
external evidence that to any honest
mind could not fail to carry convic-
ton. The Patriot and its tribe Of
disorganizers know far better than
we could tell them "what possible
benefit the perpetrator of the
forgery of Senator Pinchback's
name could have hoped to obtain
from such a paltry trick" The
paltriness Of the trick and the insig-
nifcance Of the gain are not how
ever to he despised by a crowd who
are Enthusiastically catching a!
straws." If the Patriot would be
pleased to know any more, we have
given the public the names Of well
known gentlemen and we have in
vited the inspection of the original
hand, the letter itself which is to
be seen at our Office, Cease viper

TO SUBSCRIBERS OUT OF THE
CITY.

In reply to your complaint that
you don't get the LoUIsIANIAN all we
have to say is, that TIE paper is
duly mailed from this Office and if,
through the irregularity of the mails
serving, or worse, the negligence OF
those whose duty it is to see the
mails properly made up the paper
don't reach you, it is no fault of
ours, and while on this subject it
may be well for you to remember
whether you have PAID your sub
scriptiol. You must recol.ect it
takes money to run a paper like the
LouIs1ASAIAN, and the colorod peo-
pie especially who are as interested
in its success as are its proprietors
ought to c. mo forward and give it
their generous support, for it is not
only the only paper owned and con-
Quoted by colored men in Louisiana,
but it is the only semiweekly col
ored paper in the United States.
These, however, arc not the only
claims it has upon the public for
wherever it goes it is read, and its
suggestions and advice give it con-
sideration such as few papers OF its
class have ever commanded, and is
pronounced one of the best ever
established in this country.
With these facts before us may
we not hope to be able to continue
to send our paper to all Of its sub
scribers.

JOURNALISTIC BUBBLES.


1t will be remembered by our
.,eaders that we stated many months
ago that the LoUlslANIAN was the
only bona tide organ of the colored
people in the State.
The New Orleans Standard which
had borne as many names as q
sing-sing convict and died q death
rs ignominious, disputed this state
,nent. Shortly after the Citizens
Guard with its best bib and Tucker
Of Lowell manufacture stood forth
as rival claimant. 1t too has gone
the way of all flesh for even the
ephemeral which the National Re
publican tried to give it, has been
suddenly terminated and the Ma
tional Republican stands to-day with
ont even the shadow of a colored
guard.
These so-called colored enter
prises were boFn from mere ambi-
tious iugglery and nursed upon the
milk of faction. Their editorials al
ways involved the fraud of q white
mans utterances under a black
mans name, and like one other
upon which we have our eye their
subserviency. incompetency preten-
sion and inaccuracy united to ex-
hibit in a clearer light the solidity
of our own enterprise.
We speak in no boastful spirit when
we say that the LoyIsIANIAN, has
stood sentinel over every interest Of
the colored man, and been faithful to
every claim OF humanity. Starting
without patronage, depending upon
the resources of its proprietors and
paying for the best talent to be had,
our journal has grown in single
year to almost unprecedented pro-
portions.
We gave our patrons assurances
at the very FIST that our institution
WIS o permanent one, because we
knew whereof we affirmed, and we
now reiterate them because success
has crowned the edi6ce Of the
builders.
We wish to be understood as cen
graduating orr readers upon the
fact of our success, and we desire
to impress upon them the fact that
we intend to continue as we began.
So far, no topic concerning colored
men has escaped the notice of our
contributions. We have spoken not
simply for our State but for the
country. We have deprecated par
tizan efforts and utterances, and
stood squarely by tie Republican
party, and while we laugh at the
bubbles which have burst and those
for which the lather is making, we
again address ourselves to the Sc
rious affairs of our people,

THE lNIERNAIIoNALs,

1t is almost Of as much imno,.
lance to the International TO seer,
powerful as TO be 50, and sccor3.
ingly its friends and supporters ara
very ready to claim some of the re.
sponsibility of every tumult, revolp.
tons, uprising, strike, riot, and con.
migration that occurs in any pars
of the world. They are willing, in
short, to accept bad reputation
for the sake of inspiring terror. We
have not as yet heard that thew
claim for it any share in the burn;no
of the Wisconsin woods, but thew
have darby limited that it had
something to do with the burnip,
of Chicago, and we should not be-
surprised to hear that it was ct The
bottom OF the next great earthquake
1t certainly claimed a larger part in
the troubles Of the Commune in
Paris than it had any title to, and
we suspect that the great strikes
which have recently taken place in
Europe would have occurred it had
never existed.
That it does exist. however, and
that it is rapidly extending its or.
ganization, there can be no doub.
but it must be remembered that
such organizations do not become
stronger in the ratio Of tie increase
of their numbcrs-on the contrary,
they become weaker they gather in
the beginning the elite of the class
among which they seek their re-
crafts. AS the work of propaSan.
dism goes on, the accessions decline
in quality, and the cohesiveness o.
the body diminishes. 1t is not diff.
cult to forsee that the international
will go to pieces under the weight
and vastness of its own design. A
correspondent ofthe Cologne Gr4r
furnishes an account of conurson
of the body, consisting Of twelty.
five delegates, held in London abOut
six weeks ago, at which it was r.
ported that there were one hundred
and eighty thousand enrolled men,
bers of the Society in England, fur.
nishing a revenue of about thirty
five hundred dollars years.
The French delegate said thatt the
organization had been swept away
in several French towns after the
Communist revolution, and It was
decided to take special measures for
its restoration in these places, and
TO make Russia the field of energetic
missionary effort. Secret societies
and conspiracies were vigorously
denounced, and political agitation,
as it is in England, strongly recon-
merded. The object OF this aSita-
ton seemed t. be the conversion OF
capital and land to tie usa Of the
workingman ; in what manner was
not descri5ed.-Ihe Nation.
