HAS he BEEN CONVERTED 2

At the Varieties meeting Of the Bourbon
Democrats the name Of Mr.. Robert. III.
Lusher was received with greater enthu-
siasm than that of any other nominee on
the "united State ticket" The Picalpue
in accounting for this superior ratification
ascribes it to the fact that Mr. Lusher has
been the friend Of every proposition that
looked to the education Of the negroes.
This is not our opinion, nor is the sugges-
ton in accordance with our information.
Mr. Lusher has left an official record that
contradicts the assumption Of his friendli-
ness to the benighted colored children,
for his report to the Legislature in 1867
distinctly excluded the negroes from any
of the benefits Of the school fund by care
fully estimating for the white children
alone, as will be seen by reference to
g Legislative Documents, 1867, page 8,
Report of the Superintendent Of Public
instruction" He may say that this emu
meration was made in accordance with
law, which is very shortly answered by the
suggestion that he made no recommends
ton of a change in the law. On the con-
trary, he not only omitted the negroes from
thebenefts Of the school tax, but he issued
instructions looking to their subsequent
exclusion, for Instructions to his subor-
dinates constantly assumed that they were.
to make report of the white children.as the
only parties the State and local corpora
lions had any interest in educating. In
one Of his many epistleB to the supernum-
erary superintendent he insisted that the
negroes were an inferior race whose in
struetion was not tobe encouraged This
is Mr.. Lushers own writing on the sub
ject, and it is therefore better authority on
the matter than any secondhand assur-
ance the Picdyane can give.
If Mr.. Lusher. has been converted from
the views which he held in 1867 we are
glad of it, but until he retracts what he
published over his own signature we shall
not only insist that he is not fit man to
be elected Superintendent of Public Edu-
cation, but we shall insist that the very
reason Of his unftness was the reason
why his name was received with so much
favor by the Bourbons. AS to his liberal
ity toward the Straight University that is
news to US, and probobly originated, if
the statement is true, from the fact that
he received a lecture in the REPUBLICAN
some time ago for his unfaithfulness to
the Peabody fund, in misappropriating
the moneys Of that great charity in the
same way that be expected to misappro-
pirate the school tax of the State to pur-
poses of caste education. What the State
wants is superintendent who VIII edu-
cate the ignorant without regard to race,
color or condition, as the law and his oath
Of Office viii require. Has mr. Lusher
been converted from his heresies so that
he can be accepted to fill the bill? The
Picqyeme can not answer this question.

TIE PnsTnN TICKET.

1t is not surprising that the outlook Of
the fusion ticket Of the Reform and Demo-
cratic committees is a matter Of considera-
bic speculation among its friends and ad-
mirers. The first question to be resolved
is, what right have the committees to put
on their own volition, candidates before
the peopIeP And what obligation rests
on the people to support them They
say in SO. many words to the Democrats
and Reformers, we, are wiser thar your
representatives-we viii decide and you
must obeyl Is there any difference in
being. the tools Of any single individual OF
the obedient and traota'ble emissaries Of a
clique Of ambitious Office seekers and
their allies We think not. Nor do We
think the Democratic masses are of a dis
position to become the servile lackeys Of
the New Orleans clique of politicians
They assume the right Of deciding what
the Democratic party ought to do, and
then, with grand assumption Of author
ity, direct it to be done. The foolish tao
tics they have hitherto employed have too
often led to defeat to win their confidence
again.
i The rejecting Democrat must perceive
that their support Of these nominations
can lead to but one. end, the success Of the
Customhouse faction; and the same pro-
cess Of reasoning will lead to the conclu-
sion tha6it is a fraudulent combination for
the sake Of Office. The power. of g1lberna-
torial appointment is still as great as ever;
and if the committees can gobble by this
combination the fat city Offices It may, pos
/ sibly be regarded by them as compensation
for the reasonable betrayal Of their party
and the imperiled interests Of the Stete

a DAMAGING CONFESSION.

One Of the prominent headlights Of the
Bourbon party declares that the Demo
cratic State Convention had to nominated
ticket in June in order. to prevent Cover
nor Warmoth from obtaining the nomina-
ton in August. This damaging admis-
sion, since it proves that the Bourbons
were losing ground SO fast they had to re-
sort to trick to obtain nomination
The question arises, if they were afraid
the change in public sentiment would
-overwhelm their convention in two months,
what chance have they of resisting the ris-
ing tide at the end Of four months? If the
people would have refused to nominate
them in August, how can they expect to
be elected in November? The same great
operating cause that threatened to con-
vert the convention in favor Of Warmoth,
is still at work and viii convert the people
to the support of Warmoth next fall
Judge Head should not confess. to the
trickery Of his friends in this way, for he
convicts them Of bad faith and conyinces
the Liberals of their growing strength.
Set 'em up.

INSPECTING DIR TRAP.

We have caught him at it. Judge Head,
Of Bienville, is the guilty party He is
not only throwing cold water on the Lib
eral movement in Louisiana, but he is
employing his small hose on the Liberal
movement in the nation at large. The
Rural Times is the squirt he employs to
force his little stream against the food
that is to purify the country. In his last
paper he says that the success of the
/ McE1ery ticket is of. ''more consequence
than determination as to which Of two
ultra Radical candidates shall be Presi-
dent, which is tantamount to saying that
if his. squad can not use the Liberal party
to help themselves with, they viii not
care much whether Greeley or Grant sue
ceeds. This is what we. have caught
Judge Head at, and it justifes what we
said during the sessions Of the Democratic
! State Convention-that the Bourbons of
that body we're either determined upon
ruling the State or of running it. Our
reason for saying it then was just what it
is for saying it now, that any party Of
men who will march straight to defeat and
disaster before they will compromise with
another party that offers to help them,
provided its members are granted an
equal share in the honors Of any victory
that may be won, is not worthy to be
trusted by the people, and viii not be.
Judged Head sets out with the same de-
mand that Voorhees, made, either to have
all or none. The American people re-
buked the latter, and the voters Of Louis
lana will rebuke the former. Mr.. Gree
ley was distatetuI to the Democracy Of the
nation, but. he was accepted as the only
hope Of the country against General Grant.
Good sense governed in the consideration
and decision of the question. In Louis
lana we are reduced to the same alterna-
tive. The Liberal Republican nominee
must be accepted by those who desire to
beat Grant and Kellogg, or Grant and
Kellogg will be. the choice Of the State.
If the. Democrats in this community inni-
tate tuelf brethren Oh Iu6 1dL1OA dg large,
they may hope to divide the results Of the
victory; if they do not, they may expect
to realize the same local defeat they would
have achieved nationally if they had in
sisted on running an independent ticket
Judge Head is anxious to take the whole
loaf or none, just as Voorhees, was. He is
insincere in his support of Greeley and
Brown and this should be a caution to
the Democrats not to follow his lead, for
such insincerity perils all their hopes of
influence either at Washington or in New
Orleans. AS we have caught Judge Head
in throwing cold water on one part Of the
regular Democratic ticket; it is reasonable
to suppose he can be induced to dash
dampening influence on all Of it, should
the Democracy not submitto his dictation
in making their attempts at reformation
hereafter.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-17

But will it be SO. considered by the masses
Of the Democratic party? The Liberal Re
publican movement offers them the only
opportunity they have had in years to give
coloring to the administration Of the State
and city governments. 1t offers them q
fair share Of the Offices, and their views
will be duly respected and, very possibly
carried out. VIII defeat do anything Of
the sort? In case Of cooperation with the
Liberal movement they will exercise a
powerful voice in the State government
If the Customhouse party. succeeds can
they exercise any? By the arrangement
made BY the Democratic and Reform com
mittees the Democratic party is pledged
to do all it can to elect the Kellogg ticket
by taking its votes from the Liberals, and
in return it agrees to accept such bones
as the Customhouse faction may choose to
throw to them. On the faceof the whole
arrangement does it not indicate deIu-
sion and snare? By adhering to the
Liberal movement there is certainty Of
success; it wiz be as much a Democratic
as Republican achievement, and in the
convention which dominates the candi-
dates for State offices, and the municipal
convention, the Democrats and Reformers
can compel.a recognition of their rights.
What folly then to throw these opportuni-
ties away But by adopting the course
the Democrats are pursuing they are
throwing behind them the vital interests
Of the State; they are giving practical re-
cognition, if not open support, to the
Radical party in the State.
In case Of the election Of that party
what are we to expect? viii the policy Of
President Grant be changed? The CEN
trailing policy he applies in the national
administration viii become part Of our
own, and the State rights we are struggling
to obtain will be conceded without de-
NAL All Of the worst features of that
policy, and the worst laws we are now
suffering from Originating with these
same men and framed for their beneft)
VIII, IL tu5 event u Lu61I sucC6ss, U6 kept
in full force and vigor.
Is this the future the Democrats are
helping to build up for Louisiana? Does
all their patriotic speeches, their profess
sions of love for the State and their devo-
ton to interests amount only to this z? 1t
is incredible. The reputation which the
Democratic masses will sustain will be the
reputation of the fusion ticket-the
policy they viii indorse will be that Of the
Liberals. It is just and honest, and in
the words of its address to the people Of
the State, sturns from the past to the
future; it seeks to heal the wounds which
years of sectional hate and angry conflict
have inflicted on the country; it strives to
release the people from the CALLING letters
of party tyranny and to combine in one
great movement all the opposition to the
corrupt and despotic government at Wash
ington, and to. the equally corrupt and
despotic faction which represents the ma
~tional administration in this State

The Liberal party, through its Central
Committee, put forth last Saturday STIR
ring appeal to the people, in which they
are advised of just how matters stand. We
ask a careful perusaI Of this able and pa
triotie appeal to men Of all parties who

TEE AUGUST CONVENTION.

The final work Of redeeming the State
from the sad consequences that followed
in the train Of secession now devolyes upon
the people more clearly than ever before
And this work has to be accomplished
under the banner Of the Liberal party
the only political organization that is
capable Of achieving avictory over the
federal forces in this State.
The failure of the Democratic and Re-
form conventions to do anything that was
calculated to inspire the confidence and
respect Of the masses Of our people in the
different parishes, who favor reform, has
caused many to look to the August con-
vention as their sole means Of averting the
dangers Of the bad government that viii
eventually follow the election Of Kellogg
and Antoine to the head Of the executive
department Of the goaernment, with men
Of like kidney in the Legislature The
intelligent and honest white and black
men Of our State; the producers of its

in the workshops and at the desk, and pay
the taxes, are the men who desire reform.
They are not banding together to secure
Offices for themselves, but to secure hon
est and competent public servants.
The Liberal party in this State has
calmly .bided its time, and yet it has not
been inactive. It was not in hurry
about calling a State convention. It
awaited patiently the action Of the Radi-
cal and Democratic National Conventions,
and has observed with profit the dissen-
sions that have arisen in the Randolph-Re-
form convention, the Lasere-Demo-
cratic convention, the Packard-Radi-
cal convention, and the Pinehback-Re-
publican convention. These conventions,
with the exception Of the Pinchback, have
been cursed with splits, and have failed to
have any influence in harmonizing the
people. It now remains for the Liberal
