from iudlgnity, should refuse to sanction the
re-election of the President and put your
trust In Horace Greeley. ought to add that
with him will be associated as Vice.Presldent
Gratz Brown, whom have known for years
as q most determined AbollLionist. The two
together will carry into the national govern
ment an answering devotion to your rights,
not to be disturbed by partisan dictaton
or sectional prejudice. Besides all this,
which may fuy guide you In determtn-
Ing between the Two candidates, 1t is
NV duty to remind you that as citizens OF the
United States and part of the country, your
welfare is indlssolubly associated with that OF
the whole country. Therefore, while Justly
careful oil your own rights, you cannot be in
different to the blessings OF good government.
1t ia for you to consider whether the time has
not come for something better than the
sword; and whether character like Horace
Greeley does not give stronger assurance of
good government than can be found In the
insuter of the colored race, already famous
for the rings about him and his plain
inaptitude for civil life. Speaking now
for myself, 1 have 10 say that my
vote will be given for Horace Greeley,
but in giving it do not go to the Democratic
party, nor am any less Republican. On the
contrary, am 80 much of Republican that l
cannot support candidate whose conduct in
civil life shows an incapactty to appreciate
Republican principles, and whose administra-
tion is marked by acts of delinquency, es-
pecially toward the colored race, by the side
of which the allegations on the impeachment
of Andrew Johnson were technical and
trivial"

WEST F'EL1c1ANA,
April 9Th 1872.

I see by copy of q paper called
the Dunn Leader, md which claims
to be the official journal Of the Re-
publican Party of this parish, that
my nalne is used Us a member Of
what purports to be an I" Executive
Committee Of the Republican Party
of West Feliciana," and of which
Committee MIR. e. l.. Weber calls
himself president. I wish to state
to the public that neither my people
nor myself recognize any rights of
this committee, that we never par
ticipated in any election, or any
meeting whatsoever to organize the
same and as an honest republican
voter, I cannot give it respect, coun-
tenance Or support, and that I con-
slider the use Of my name as one Of
it's members, an insult to my race
and to myself, and that l wish it to
be understood I want them to take
my name off their list and out Of
their paper.
I consider this so-called Commit
tee, disorganizers and boilers from
the Republican party, olfiee-seekers,
who to gain an Office, would sacri-
fee my people and all their future
political and civil rights.
I call your attention to the fact
that certain parties, who can never
hope to receive the votes Of honest
republicans, are constantly running
about the parish, in order to get the
people to come to their meetings,
hut as in the past they will find the
people are not to be hoodwinked
by any such trickery as this social
ed Committee claims to have been
elected by. Out in this section and
wherever I go as we'll as all to whom
I have spoken, are determined to
stand fast to that true and tried
leader, j. P. Newsham, and it will
take bigger guns than the Dunn
Leader, to supplant him in the Of
fections Of the people.
Yours Respectfully,
HENRY BHooKuEAET.

medal. In 1878 Mr.. Morse first

medal. In 1878 Mr.. Morse first
preached the project of the Atlantic
telegraph. His claim to his share
in the invention Of the telegraph has
been bitterly contested in and out Of
the courts. His merit appears to
rest not on the discovery Of the prin-
ciples Of the telegraph, but on the
adoption of already ascertained prin-
ciples to the work he undertook to
perform. The latest events in the
public life of Mr.. Morse were his re-
cent appearance at the inauguration
of Franklin's statue in Printing
House square, New York, and some
time previously his presence at the
unwilling of his own state in Central
Park, in the same city, and at the
grand demonstration which took
place in the evening at the Academy
Of Music, when congratulations were
sent to the father of telegraph"
from tho Geographic fraternity diff
fused throughout the world.
When the statue of Prof. Morse
shall long have fallen to pieces, his
fame will still live, and his memory
VIII ever remain green. The galvanic
battery is the base upon which rests
the indestructible monument he HIM
self has erected by his great inven-
ton, and the electric wires like ten
drills, will unite lis memory to the
hearts Of later generations.

R.IOTHS INTER VIEW WITH
THE PRESIDENT,

A New York correspondent OF the
1vou- OxlcstIs IHIJuWrttt gives cnv
following account Of the interview be-
tween Gov. WarlnotA and President
Grant i:
Louisiana politics can never
cease to excite comment where cir
cles Of men engage in the discussion
of public aff;lirs. A distinguished
Cabinet officer who WAS present when
Governor Warmoth and the Presi-
dent had their interview, is said to
have told a well-known New Yorker
I'll about it, and the latter relates it
to his friends about in this wise
Warmoth enters and says Good
morning Mr.. President" Grant re-
ponds, "Good morning, Governor,
take seat"
The Governor takes q seat, and
Grant looks at him coldly and re-
marks /:
. Well, Governor, what news do
you bring from louisiana"
Governor Warmoth-Well, Mr..
President, we are pretty noisy set
of fellows down there, and have been
making considerable of fuss of late.
President Grant-Yes, I have
heard a good deal about your troub-
les, but find it difficult to tell which
party is right or which is wrong.
Warmoth-Oh, that is very easy
matter. II you were in New Orleans
and knew what I do, and seen what
I have seen, you would say that my
friends and myself were right all the
while, and that your officers, in alli-
ance with the Democrats, were al
ways wrong from the commencement
of the struggle till now, and you
would remove them from Office in
stantly.
Grant-Perhaps I would.
Wannoth-I know you would.
Grant-But is there no way to fix
things up?
Governor Warmoth-There has
been no time when the whole diff
Guilty could not have ended were it
not that your officers seemed determ-
ined to destroy our party, and to dc
so resorted to alliance with Demo
crats-an alliance which caused
many of my friends to think put
them outside of the party.
President Grant-But can not the
matter be arranged now?
Governor Warmoth-If parties
were all agreed to let past differences

CLBl.

The Cincinnati Commercials spec
ial dispatch Of March Goth says
81. Dearmas Cespedes is out with
a new pamphlet on the Cuban cues
ton, in which lie says Had the
Cuban revolutionists been treated by
the United States on equal terms
with their enemies, the triumphant
Lone Star flag would now be float
ing over the Island. 70 allow Spain,
on the contrary, to continue supply
ing herself in this country with arms
and vessels in revolving. He argues
that the least the United States eau
do is to make declaration of neutral
ity, though its true duty is to cut the
gordian knot with its powerful sword,
instruct its navy to break the Span
ish blockade, not with the object OF
carrying Cubans out Of the island,
but to land patriots who desire to
fight for their country. Upon the
island now more than one hundred
thousond troops are operating, and
it is impossible, considering the limit
OF the island, that the Cubans make
the daily retreats their enemies al
Iege. They hold an immense por-
ton of territory, and their move
mcnts are made under strict orders
OF their chiefs. They have, in fact,
Il regular army, well drilled and i'll
ured to war. How is it, be asks, that
the Spanish authorities ask for thirty
thousand soldiers more? It is IN
reasonable to expect that without the
admission of their flag to American
ports, they can destroy the Spanish
control over their coasts. Owing to
the too unfavorable attitude of the
United States, Cubans have never
been. able to negotiate loan. Gu
bans are pursued on the seas by
thirtHgunboats built in the United
States, and shot down on land by
rifles from Remington's manufactory.
The author declares that the United
States is and has been virtually an
ally OF Spain, whereas its duty is to
declare strict neutrality or intervene
to stop dangerous struggle at our
doors"

only to party success, it seems to me
everything could be satisfactorily ar
ranged.
Cabinet Minister Why could not
the two State committees get togeth-
er and make one committee, COM
posed Of ten from each side?
Governor Warmoth-That has
been talked of by some parties. If
my friends deemed that the most de-
sirable things to do, l would have
no objection to their doing it.
Another Cabinet NIinister-But
there would be the question of chair
man-how could that be settled ?
Would they be willing to have Pack
ard as their chairman
Governor Warmotll.-So far as
Packard is concerned, it would make
no difference whether he was chair
man Or not the main object is the
union of the party.
President Grant-It seems Gov
ernor, that you are very liberal.
Warmoth-If the Customhousc
officers are equally SO we can have
but little to fear all will go Oh
sp]endidly.
Senator West-It is very desira-
BILE that the party in Louisiana
should be united, and now is the
time to secure that end. You, Mr..
President, and you, Governor, can
arrange this matter now.
President Grant am willing.
Governor Warmoth--My friends
say they are, and, so far rs I am
concerned, I am willing to yield my
personal feelings to aid in consum-
mating any arrangement which they
may think best for them to make.
President Grant-NIy wish is the
success of the Republican party, and
l shall be glad to see it united il
Louisiana.
Governor Waunoth--I am mos!
happy to hear you say SO, Mr.. Presi.
