We commend to the careful perusal
of our readers the annual message of
Governor Warmoth to the General
Assembly, session of 1872, which is
published in full on the first and fourth
pages of this weeks issue. Any one
of the Governors opponents might
torture his brain six months and not
produce a better lecture on reform
than is contained in this message. The
recommendations of the Governor are
eminently wise and judicious, and we
have no reason to believe they will
not be acted upon and their spirit
carried out by the General Assembly
during its present session. We shall
yet see Louisiana blooming like a rose
and her people rejoicing in as good
government as any State of the Union,
aye! and H. c. Warmoth at the head
of it, for that he will be reelected to
the position he has filed so faithfully
and well few can seriously doubt.

Our factious contemporary of the
Leader seems to think we should, to
act consistently with our professions,
have marched through the muddy
streets with the procession of colored
people New Years Day. The condi-
ton of the streets was excuse enough
for our absence, even admitting our
presence necessary under any circum-
stances. We were at the meeting and
acted as its secretary. We did not
attend it because we had any political
fish to fry or anything to gain by it,
but because we sympathized with its
object and the people who held it. If
our only desire was to secure the pO-
litical good will of the colored people
we should not attend their assem-
blages until nearer election time, as
the Leader man and his ilk have done
heretofore and probably will do again.

The refusal of the Town Council to
farm out the Market to the highest
bidder for the term of the present
year, created considerable excitement
among the persons who were desirous
of becoming farmer, and a petition
was at once circulated and presented
to the Council asking your honor
able body" to reconsider its action,
but the obstinate members refused to
listen to the prayer of petitioners.
Without entering into the details of
the subject, it seems to us that if the
market yields a greater revenue to
the town now than it would if farmed
out, it is perfectly right that the town
should retain control of it.

We are informed that the laborers
on number of the plantations in
this parish are leaving and seeking
other homes, in consequence of a
refusal on the part of. the owners
thereof to pay the same wages as were
given last year-twenty dollars per
month. The planters referred to
offer fifteen dollars, but the laborers
assert they cannot live at that rate of
compensation. Many of the leading
planters, majority, we believe, are
making new contracts with their
laborers at the same wages paid in
1871.

SOMETHING TO Do.-If you know
of an active boy or girl to whom so
cents or 81 90 or more a week, for
half a days work each week, will
prove benefit, have them send a
three-cent stamp to Oliver Crook
81 Co., Dayton, Ohio, for samples and
circulars of an easy occupation which
will well repay them. 1t would
also be a benefit to any business man,
bringing many customers to his store
every week.

4 An exch4nge says that if the people

outrage asS he Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor annuliing the printing
contracts Of papers opposed to them
and bestoEing like contracts upon
papers favorable to their interests,
/" they DIES frve to become the veriest
slaves on 4lrth.n As will be at once
surmised, he journal which makes
use of thif vigorous language holds
one of tht annulled contracts. We
uphold the action of Governor War
moth and s.ieutenant Governor Pinch
back by TIE same reasoning that we
did the siHlilar course of Lieutenant
Governor Dunn and Speaker Carter.
The paper quoted from above, which
now cries down the present majority
of Printing Commissioners for annul-
ling eontr bets, was just as ready to
uphold az defend former majority
for doingfprecisely the same thing.
All the difference is that the former
majority were its friends, while the
present age not. Such argument as
this will hot tell with the public.
