wheat crop. The acreage of wheat sown in Au-

taurant in splendid trim, and everybody who
goes there comes away delighted. Bread is not

the country who everybody knows. We mean

. INTERESTING RELIGIOUS SERvIcEs.-A series of
meetings have been held in the Baptist church Of
this city, during the past week. Rev. Geo. B. Tay-
lor, pastor of the congregation, has been assisted
by Rev. Mr.. Barron, of Lexington, who has
preached some able and exceedingly interesting
sermons. On last Sabbath morning bis discourse
was based on the 10 verse of the 9th chapter of
LIST Observation-Disclosures not the spirit
The text Of the sermon at night is found in the
18th chapter and 2sth verse of Matthew-s.Come
| unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and will give you rest"
The minister presented his subjects on each o.
| casion very earnestly and effectively. The dis
course in the morning was closely arranged, fer
vent and practical. Some Of his thoughts were
very striking aud even startling, directing them
as he did to the very heart and conscience of his
| audience. That Of the evening, although intend
ed more as an exhortation, was persuasive and
logical, and could not fail to leave deep impress.
sonf or good on his hearers.
There is an earnestness about Mr. Barron's
style of preaching which conveys the impression
ing his fellow men. There is no effort at meta
physical niceties, but warmth Of feeling and a
wealth of practical and earnest piety, which
draw congregation. The seed he Is now sow

THE PICAyUNE AS A REFORMER.

1t is evident from the leading editorial
of Yesterday s Picod,ue that it Identifies
the success Of the reform movement III
Louisiana with the fortunes of General
Grants party. In short, the Picayune con-
siders the policy of the federal admins
tration and the Reform party as Identical
By a process Of argument peculiar to
itself it asserts that those who are opposed
to the new party belong to the anti-Grant
coalition. Without assuming to deter
mine the rightfulness Of the PtcdWHe's
advocacy Of General Grant, we may be
permitted to say that it is singular
From its standpoint it is difficult to per-
ceive any harmony Of sentiment between
the policy CT the national administration
and the political theories of the reformers.
The Picay0le proposes to coalesce all dis
satisfied political clements and throw
them full tilt into the lap OF the President.
It does So too, while acknowledging that
General Grant is not identified with the
great national reform movement, but OPP
posed to it. But it sees in him a possible
antagonist Of Governor Warmoth, and
that in itself is sufficient to influence its
policy. This, to say the least, is a sipgu-
lar admission.
The inference resulting from this ad-
mission is that the Reform party has no
stronger ground to stand upon than OPP
position to our State executive Being
actuated by no political principle itself it
of course can not perceive how others can
be. Estimating other peoples virtue by
its own, no doubt, Influenced its offer TIE
other day of State Office to every young
man who would vote the Reform ticket.
Certainly the. P;cayg1e is model re-
former.

customs service have unanimously re-
solved>to resign their comfortable bexths
should what they term the treachery OF
Casey and Packard be consummated All
these gentlemen are just now eating OF
a bitter fruit that may prove wholesome
corrective of their political systems. Let
us hope it will.
Before starting to Washington, Colonel
Parker organized a ''Pioneer Grant Club,
and was chosen president, delivering on
that occasion an eloquent and glowing
eulogy upon the distinguished head OF the
nation. This is supposed to have been
the pole that knocked down the persim-
mons; and as an Offset his opponents IN
duced the club TO adopt a resolution de-
nouncing the appointment of ''our pres-
dent as untimely. lmpolitic and detrimental
to the interests Of the Republican party.
This unkind shot in the rear is supple
mented with request for the withdrawal
of his name from the Senate, and the
nomination in his stead Of some we'll
known Republican who resides in Loulsl-
ana permanently and who may be OF
service to the Republican cause in the
coming campaign" This, too, Of man
they had honored by electing. to preside
over them, and despite the strenuous OPP
position Of the Customhouse officials,
How is that for Grant Republican polltl-,
tics?
The moral Of this little row is simply
that few intelligent and able colored men,
who ought to have known better, allowed
themselves to be gulled by men who had
nothing but their personal aggrandizement
to subserve. This end they would accom-
plish through the colored people, if it
proved the easiest and safest course: or
they would sell them out to the Democrats,
if, in their Judgment, that policy should be
necessary. And it really appears that the
late dearly beloved colored allies have
ceased to be of weight in the Customhouse
calculations; for the moment they arouse
to the realization (atter a wonder
full and exceptional lethargy) that
not single colored man in louisiana has
been honored with prominent position
or other distinguishing mark Of Presiden..
tial favor, and make demand for what IS
fairly due to their influence and strength,
what sort of reception is accorded them p?
A snub-a dovnri ght snub-such as might
be given any unfortunate favor-seeker-
such as might be given them if Louisiana
did no. enter into the Presidential count
for denomination at all. Well we'll We
feel sorry at their disappointment, but, as
we remarked before, it is not our fight.

Denmark, in spite of his recent dlsplay VI
incompetency and misconduct, and TINS HAL
his brother-in-law etc.
The clause omitted was the most peril
nent, and, to the people Of louisiana the
most interesting of all the catechism. IL
was, in the words Of the Nation, this:
Why has he kept, and does he still keep,
a man like Casey in the New. Orleam Gus
tomhouse, IN spite Of gross and 'e!0r'o"s
conduct and this man his brotherin-law!
Now, why did the Times omit this ques-
ton? Is such suppression what it calls
independent journalism Is it afraid OF
the Customhouse ring? Come, gentle
shepherd of the feecy flock of Reformers,
tell us why-and, if perfectly convenient
tell us the truth.

STRUCK BY ITS OWN SHAFT.

The Times has committed itself to an
other proposition which the REPUBLICAN
has maintained and insisted upon for the
last four years, that no honest man Will
deliberately misrepresent political oppo-
nent. 1t seems that the Times and its
friends are being deliberately misrepre-
scented at present, and hence its sudden
conversion to a principle which was an
nounced in these columns from the very
date when the REPUBLICAN was first issued.
The Democratic Parish Committee charges
that the reformers have basely surrendered
to the Republicans, and are now commit
ted to the odious doctrince OF absolute
social equality between the races. The
Times denies this assertion calls it dellb-
and says that no true and honest poll
,ician would be guilty Of such libel.
And yet this is just the misrepresentation
which the Times and P;cayne have made
profitable use Of against the REPUBLICAN
for four years. They have constantly as
serted that our design was to force a social
equality which they admit to be imprac-
ticable and incapable Of entertainment in
the mind of any intelligent citizen. As the
Times has planted itself OF our platform,
and is now urging cur very principles
upon its friends, is it not amenable to all
the charges which it has printed against
the REPUBLICAN? And as it furnished the
Democracy with these very arguments and
assertions, is not the Democracy justiiable

A INTERCOLLEGIATE EXPLOSION,

J. NJ G. Parker, Esq, as the nominee
for the Surveyorship, has proven a very
bitter pill to those colored Republicans
who were beguiled into deserving the Re-
publican party for the herlnaphrodite coall-
ton which, egotistically enough, thought
to make John Ray, or Carter, Governor Of
Louisiana, and give the remainder OF the
State Offices to the Democrats. The colored
men claim this federal position as right
and Will be contented with nothing less
than the appointment of Senator lnGra-
ham, whose services in the Wilderness they
declare should be thus rewarded, and thell
especial class at the same time recognized.

from the New York Nation in reference to
Grant, emitting, however, one clause, and
supplying its absence with asterisks, thus:

The Citizens Guard refuses to be any
thing but partisan paper. 1t will insist
that because the Republicans of New
Hampshire voted for Governor straws,
therefore they can not do otherwise than
vote for General Grant. How are these
duties fastened together? Suppose we
take it in this way. Representative Alvord
was elected Speaker Of the New York
Legislature by the friends of Messrs.
Greeley and Fenton, and it was done in
the face of the friends of General Grant.
Does this Republican victory consolidate
Grants strength, while Alvord, Fenton
and Greeley are all working to defeat him,
and that, too, with great show of success !?
If the Citizens Guard were a Republican
paper it would understand this matter
better

THE NEW SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

A meeting of the, State Board OF Edu-
cation was held yesterday for the purpose
of electing directors for the city board IN
place of those whose terms have expired.
1t will be seen by the proceedings, pub
lished elsewhere, that the selections are:
First Ward-M. Hahn, reelected; Third
Ward-Dr. Mercer, in place OF Thomas
Lynne, Sixth Ward-E. Y. McCarty, IN
place of Joubert; and Twelfth Ward-".
G. Mcconnell, in place Of Rev. l.. Z.
Matlack.
While we are quite willing to accept
this action of the board as possibly the
best it could do, we are free to admit that
the appointments are not entirely salts
factory. But as it is not our purpose to
ask the board to reconsider its decision, it
is not necessary to specify the objections
They may Or may not be developed sub
sequently. We can only hope that all will
turn out for the best.

The Bee refuses to accept the Reformers
because they do not announce a regular
platform of principles, but merely rely
upon the word reform to recommend
themselves to the public Does this not
come with a bad grace from the Bee, which
has never announced any other reason for
its own action than mere desire to re-
for1n Governor Warmoth out, in order that
some Democrat may be reformed in, In
all our laborious reading of the double
barreled ofgan, we never could detect but
one charge in its duplex verbiage, and that
was that Governor Warmoth ought to be
defeated no matter who else won the
Office. 4 paper that has nothing but its
luminosity to stand upon should be the last
to advise with genuine politicians.
