As we have known all along the Gus
tomhouse leaders would sell out the col
ored people or anything else they hold or
control, or believe they can control, but
did not suppose the attempt would be
made so brazenly as this. The Bee says a
well-known citizen arrived from Washing
ton with authority from William Pitt Kel-
logg to make this formal offer Of. sale:
That If the Democrats would nominate
him (Kellogg) as Governor, he would CON
cede an entire State and legislative ticket
to the Democratic party, being authorized
to pledge the Endorsement Of such nomlna-
ton by the convention of the regular Re
pubhcans, to meet at Baton Rouge June I9.
We can safely say that w. P. Kellogg, Of
Illinois, is not the man that the people Of
Louisiana want for their Governor. Mr..
Kellogg was in no sense the choice OF our
State for Senator There is no way in
which the nominal Senator could better
please the people of Louisiana than by re-
signing and returning to his prairie home
in the fruitful and prosperous West. The
means by which, and the circumstances IN
der which his late and present eminence
were reached, should admonish him Of the
little he has to expect from the white peo-
pie of Louisiana. Whatever may be said
about bargains, coalitions, compromises,
combinations and Vaccinations, we venture
to proclaim that the Democratic party of
Louisiana4w never sell themselves TO the
devil and then take their pay in birthstone.
Put that in your pipe and smoke K, Mr..
KELLOGG.

ABOUT COALITIONS

II those gentlemen in the conventions
now in session who advocate coalition to
the exclusion Of the Liberal Republicans,
are honest in their assertion that reform
of the State government is their highest
wish and desire, will answer themselves
this question satisfactorily they may sur
prise US. They admit that, as Democrats,
they lost and could not regain Louisiana;
they admit that the Reforners are but a
fragment Of the old Democratic block, split
off in a spasmodic effort growing out of a
conviction that any change must be for the
better; they admit that no recruits from
the Republican ranks were obtained then
will they please inform us how these two
wings Of the Democracy. by reunitng, will
be any stronger or better prepared to tri
umph in an election than before the break
occurred? On the contrary, do not they
realize that the Liberal Republican move
ment has greatly sapped the strength of
each while they have been divided? How,
then, can these political Solons hope for
success except by adding the Liberals to
their forces; and how can they expect that
party holding the balance of power will
furnish this absolutely requisite strength
while its leaders are condemned and de-
MED recognition. VIII the gentlemen of
the conventions consider these suggestions,
and argue them out to their legitimate
conclusions?

II
When did the knowledge come upon the
gentleman above named that Governor
Warmoth and his friends were thieves and
scoindrels, and that combination with or
recognition of them politically would be
infamy? Surely Mr.. Hunts convictions
are Of recent date, and must be sustained
by indubitable proofs Of wrong-doing to
warrant SO complete somersault in his
opinions. If they are, it is criminal to
withhold the evidence from a vitality inter
ested people. If his sentiments are Of long
existence, he is a most consummate hypo-
critic, and eunningly deceived the Cover
nor and his friends into belief that he
held directly opposite feelings toward
them.
Seeking Office, directly or indirectly,
from his excelIency must be infamous if
the present proposition for a general union
Of parties is, for one is simply looking to
individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT while the other
proposes to benefit the entire State. There
fore is Mr.. Hunt infamous" for when it
was rumored that the Governor intended
to accept the resignation of Mayor Elan
ders, Judge Hunts friends brought to
bear strong influences to secure for him
the appointment When it was proposed
to impeach Judge Abel last january, he
was ready candidate, and when the
scheme was before the Legislature to ere
ate an additional Criminal Court, both the
Judge and Mr.. Carleton Hunt were its
warm advocates; and had an opening been
made on the criminal bench by either Of
the methods above indicated, it is not at
all improbable that the friends of Cover
nor Warmoth would have secured his i'm
mediate appointment as a recognition of
the Judges supposed merits.
Then why this change in the spirit of
Judge Hunt? Can disappointed aspira-
tons for Office so suddenly have convinced
him that Governor Warmothis infamous
that the many gentlemen with whom he
has, during the past few months, socially
hob-nobbed are thieves and villains? An
explanation viii be acceptable, and is due
the public.
z. S.-Since the above was penned a
contemporary has called Judge Hunt to !
account and he has made personal ex-
PLANTATION to the Convention. We publish
a verbatim report of his remarks. They
are remarkable mainly for reiteration of
his own honor and integrity, and for a
singularly disingenuous confession of his
desire to attain Office through Governor
Warmoth, whom he denounces. We re-
assert all that we have stated in the article |
this paragraph.

over our ballots to see that we vote in
accordance with the wishes of our masters
and for the policy they recommend fol
adoption. Those wIso advocate that side
indorse the attempt to suspend the writ Of
habeas corpus; to make the military the
supreme law Of the land, and the Presi-
dent more absolute in his power than the
monarchs Of Europe.
All this may be gratifying to his per-
sonal supporters and favorites, but is it
sound Republican doctrine has it any
Democratic shade or coloring?
If it is correction of political abuses
that the Democrats and Reformers want,
the Liberal Republicans extend them an
open hand and cordial coalition. They,
too, desire pure government; but to Sc
cure it they are not willing to hand the
State over, bound hand and foot, to the
federal executive and his arbitrary wishes.
A little Cancellation, wise councils and
freedom from personal animosities will ac-
complish all we wish. 1t should be done

The Bee is by no means inclined to in
dorse the overtures of Senator Kellogg Tor
the nomination for Governor by the Demo-
cratic convention. The prospect Of hay
ing the same conceded in by the Baton
Rouge convention is by no means a suf6-
Gent inducement It even intimates that
if the Democrats are pushed to coalition
with the devil, they viii not give. Senator
Kellogg the choice. In case OF such
necessity, Boss Packard would evidently
outrank him.

OPPOSED To PAPnA1rrrr

In the mixed condition Of our politics
it seems difficult for the opposing fac
tons to determine which is the proper
course to pursue. All appear agreed,
however, that none Of the organizations
singly can carry the State against the rest.
But the most discreet way ofsubduing this
dificultyis apparently impossible Of dis
coyery. The Picoytae and Bee, perfectly
agreed in their opposition to the Liberal
Republican movement, yet differ as to the
means Of defeating it. The Bee thinks a
coalition with the Reformers amply sufi-
Gent to that end, while the Picagnue is
convinced the coalition should include
the Grant faction of the Republican
party.
Now, all this appears ureconcilable.
There is an almost perfect identity of pur-
pose and principle between the Liberal
Republican movement and the Democratic
and Reform parties. There would be no
difficulty in agreeing upon basis of
representation. United, they could carry
the State by an immense majority. Why,
then, should they be opposed to each
other? There is nothing in harmony
with the Federal or Customhouse party in
the State. The principles Of that faction
are in deadly opposition to everything
Louisianians love and revere Tt is even
sought by this party to strip the people of
the State Of the right to govern themselves.
1t seeks to strike an efectual and deadly
blow at the rights of the State and what
little Of sovereignty is left by the war.
Federal guardians are sought to be put

TIE FRIEND OF TEE oARPB1-BAeeBBs

!
Mr. Greeley never helped to elect ,
single earpet-bagger. in the State Of Lon
isiana. Ex-Governor Wicklife did he'll
to elect great many, and he is striving
now to re-electa great many more VIZ
have no objection to carpet-baggers, fol
we are constantly inviting them to come
to Louisiana from every section Of the
world. The more of this sort Of popula.
ton We can get the better we shall stand
in point Of wealth and intelligence There
are two classes Of carpet-baegers, how
ever, one Of which Mr.. Greeley indorses,
and one Of which he condemns. The man
who comes to the State as a bona fde
citizen Of the country, with honest de-
signs and proper ambitions is acceptable
to us, and viii find friend in Mr.. Gree
ley; the other man, who enters the COM
n1unity with mean and sordid objeets to ae-
complish, is reprobated alike by Mr.. Gree
ley and by ourselves. Ex-Governor Wick
life is the friend Of the man of the latter
class, since be makes it possible for him
to succeed in his detestable designs. This,
we take it, is the test Of friendship. If the
burglar can succeed through the innocence
or weakness Of his victim, he wants his
victim as his friend. If the worst class Of
carpet-baggers can succeed through the
negligence or perverse obstinacy of Mr.
Wicklfe in leaving his doors open, he can
do nothing but want Mr.. Wicklifs as his
friend And this is just what Mr.. Wick
life is doing. He is planning a campaign
that will end in the defeat of his forces,
and in the success Of the very carpet-bag-
gers whom he pretends to hold in such dis
gust. And he is doing this contrary to the
advice Of Mr.. Greeley. II MIR. Wicklife
drives the Republican party into union
by destroying the head of one Of its divi-
sions he will meet a defeat. The worst
portion Of the carpet-bag element is OPP
posed to Governor Warmoth, and the col
ored people can be Influenced to support
that faction if Governor Warmoth is de-
pri7ed Of his power to control it in the IN
terests Of honesty and good government.
1t thus becomes a question whether the
carpet-baggeTs are to succeed by the assist
ance Of Mr. WiekIife, or whether the better
portion of the people are to succeed with
the assistance Of Governor Warmoth.
If the men Mr.. Wick1iffe pretends to
hold in SO much disgust manage to carry
the next election in Louisiana, it will be
done through the efforts OF such stupid
and uncompromising obstinates as he is. |
The peril Of the moment is too great to
admit Of nice talk with those who are too
dull to originate and too weak to forget. |
This IS not a personal matter at present. |
The interests Of the country are all at /
stake. The same men who elected the |
carpet-baggers are in Louisiana still, and |
f they are not led to the support Of better
men they VIII support the same old set
AIr. WickEfe is using his endeavoxs to |
orce the negroes in a given direction that |
S full Of evil aiguery for the flture-Gov-
amor Warmoth is trying to lead them into
. better road It is with the people to
5ay which Of these leaders they will help.

are IN favor Of the same policy which Mr..

are helping each other. That is, he is
helping to elect them.
