THE TIMES VS.. PINnHRArK.

What in a white man would be set
down as honesty Of purpose and fearless
independence the Times designates in
Governor Pinchback ''brass and auda-
city" Because this (aI circumstances
considered) really extraordinary colored
gentleman dared to go into the very
stronghold Of his enemies, and by his
earnestness, frankness and plain dealing
break down the fimsy falsehoods of his
detractors ard win for his manliness
hearty plaUdits from those who have art
fully and u~nreasoniIgly been arrayed
against him, he is, forsooth, a consum-
mate demagogue.
From caption to close, the leader in
yesterdays Times is unjust to Mr.. Pinch
back, and in nearly every statement I'M
truthful. But there is only one point
that we have time or inclination to now
particularly comment upon, and we hope,
for the sake of fair play, our contemporary
will amend its statement. 1t is that in
which it asserts on the part Of the colored
race "a fixed determination to force the
contest Of colors in this State, Z" and to
identify the Lieutenant Governor with
this supposititious design. Had the editor
Of the Times heard the National Theatre
speech which it takes for a text, or had
Mr.. Pinchback's remarks been faithfully
reported, he would have known that its
whole tone and sentiment were against
the idea Of a black mans party; that the
speaker repeatedly and solemnly eau
toned his colored brethren not to
let such an idea 60 out to the world; that
such a movement must prove their politi-
cal ruin, if not leopard their very lives, and
that the time had come when color, in a
division Of the Offices, should be entirely
disregarded, claiming only equal chances
for those Of his race who possessed abilities
and qualifications equal to those Of their
white competitors. These are the senti-
ments the Lieutenant Governor has enun-
ciated repeatedly i'll private and public,
and the "ferocious and diabolical express
sions' of our contemporary are, therefore,
unjustiiable as they are venomous.
We had hoped and supposed the Times,
in its desire for prosperity and reform for
Louisiana, would lay aside its habit of
writing, which has never accom-
aught but harm to our people, and
let the questions Of race and color rest in
the oblivion to which the Reform platform
consigned them.

A PLAIN DUTY,

The Picaytne, supposing that the insti-
tuition was in the control Of Republicans,
or falling to procure such accommodations
as the former city's fiscal agency may have
afforded it, made a most yenomous and
mendacious attack upon the Louisiana
Savings Bank. It even went 50 far as to
'cc0se its officers Of borrowing large sums
o. money at usurious rates; Of extravaganza
OUTLAWS, its capital being considered; and
intentionally giving out the impression
that its affairs are loosely if not
corruptly ~mismanaged. Mr.. Van Nor
den' president Of the bank, has COM
PEELED the Picayune to r~etract, and, after a
fashion, apologize for its wanton and ma
assertions; but we sincerely. home
be will not stop at this. The public faith
and credit repOsed in a bank are its life.
Never was an attack upon an Institution

LLNAHL VAG 10 Is

Sweeping over the Western prairies and
down the broad Southern delta comes the
news, pregnant with a nations interest.
The campaign Of 1872 has opened, with
the battle banner thrown to the breeze,
inscribed with the names Of Greeley, Of
New York, and Gratz Brown, of Missouri.
Pledged 10 a reform Of political abuses,
they are the dUdnt-c0urierS of a grand
political revolution which will strike cor
ruption in its high places, and redeem for
good and wise purposes the insulted
honor and violated rights of the nation.
The great principles to which their a n
didacy gives practical expression are not
merely the outgrowth of partisan antipa-
thles or sectional differences, but the sober
views Of patriotic statesmen deeply i'm
bued with a love Of country, striving
might and main to rescue it from the evil
ways in which its government has fallen,
and restore it the prestige which made it,
in fact and in name, the greatest and
purest among the nations Of the earth.
The primary principle of this regenerat-
ing work is REFORM. The platform on
which our candidates stand is outspoken
in its meaning and specific in the ends
which it has in view. The men them
selves give assurance of the f~aithfulness
with which such purposes will be carried
into effect. Both are great, wise and good.
Calumny even has n~eyeraccused them Of
injustice, and the rancour Of political OPP
position has never dared asperse their
fame. Their lives have been a long strug-
gle for the greatest political freedom, the
political rights Of States and communities,
and the pure administration Of the gov
eminent of the nation. They stand
squarely upon the question Of the political
equality Of all men, and their lives have
been a long struggle for universal political
freedom in America.
The declaration ofprinciples upon which
they go before the country is specific and
clear, but even a stronger guarantee than
it is secured in the personal character of
our candidates. Honest and capable, pure
and wise, they are fitting representatives
Of the honest masses Of the American peo-
pie, and are sure to administer the govern
ment entrusted to their control in honor,
virtue and purity.
1t is not surprising, in view of these
great ex~cellencies of character and prin-
that the enthusiasm which now re-
from one end Of the nation to the
will increase in volume and extent
until wrong and injustice will sink before
the great stream Of public opinion as the
shrubs sink before the rush of the
mountain avalanche.
No wonder, Therefore, that the great
Reform party OF America rejoice in their
5tandard-b bearers Greeley and Brown, and
that the campaign Of 1872 opens with en-
thusiasm and confidence of success.

The nomination of Greeley and Brown,
at Cincinnati, smacks Of that historic Pc
Rod when the people of the United States
chose their rulers from among the men
who had established their characters as
statesmen and patriots by long years of
service and upright dealing with the coun-
try. Adams, Madison, Jefferson, jackson,
Van Buren, and Buchanan were known as
legislators long before they were selected
as Presidents, and the people trusted them
because they had tried and approved them
in council and in action. These men were
not the creatures Of accident, nor were
they mere soldiers Of fortune but they
were thinkers, writer's and orators, whose
fame had gone abroad among the people
before they were elected to fill the highest
office in the nation, Each man Of them
could hold his own in the forum or in the
Senate, and carried in his W mind the
capacity to reason and decide for himself
upon the severest questions of public poll
cy. Greeley and Brown are the types of
that venerated line OF Presidents who re-
Elected credit upon the chief magistracy
by virtue Of their knowledge and integrity.
They are Of that order Of thinkers VINO
make the age and the country in which
they live luminous with suggestions and
ad~vancements. Out Of them proceed the
policies that lift mankind to freedom and
to civilization. Where is the step that the
people have taken in advance that Greeley
did not pioneer? Where the bond, whether
upon the mind or limb of the people, that
he has not smitten with Titanic and per-
sistent force? If there is gratitude in the
country it will hail the opportunity to
discharge its debt.

President Grant suggests that there are
reprehensible collectors at some of the
customhouses who wink at smuggling
until they catch a ~smuggler worth a good
large amount of money, which will go to
themselves. Collector Casey wrote to the
department at Washington that he did not
seizelthe small invoices of sugar that were
struggled through the Customhouse on
false weights, because he was watching for
the large invoices that he was sure the
smugglers would soon attempt to pass.
The President raped his brother-in-law a
pretty severe blow that time.

A number Of delegates to the Custom
house convention were promised pay for
their valuable seryicos-some did get as
high as twenty dollars, Others, being
left entirely in the cold, have, since adj
iournment, besieged the deposed Boss
Of the ring, Ma rshal Packard, for the
wherewithal to pa. Y their expenses home.
He proving hard-hea. ted or i~mpecunious,
they now apply to h m 'cuss words"
both loud and deep, anu vow never more
to put trust in him or his I hque. Truly,
the Boss is travelling the hard. 'st sort of a
path for his transgressions. Hurrah for

It is currently reported that the formal
overtures made by the Customhouse State
committee, for reconciliation and reunion
with the State administration wing Of the
Republican party, have been taken under
Amusement by the regular committee, pre-
sided over by Governor Pinchback. The
late convention fzzle was too much for
even their high c~heekiness to brazen
through, and now that there is a Simon
pure Republican Presidential ticket in the
field they cry aloud for unity. Hurrah
for Greeley .

RECEPTION OF THE NEWS.

Universal satisfaction over the nomina-
tons by the Cincinnati convention is the
prevailing sentiment, The Adams men,
the Trumbull men and the Davisites were
a little blue for a moment, but, after di-
costing the news, all conceded that the
ticket was a wise, able and patriotic one,
and gave indubitable proof that reform
is hereafter to be something more than a
catch-word and ~rallying cry. Republicans,
Democrats and Reformers alike expressed
unbounded confidence in the success of
the new standard bearers, and the certain
overthrow Of nepotism, Capitalization and
military Intervention in all the various
branches Of u civil government. The
editors OF several country papers who
were in the city at once telegraphed home
to have the names Of Greeley and Brown
put at the head Of their columns.
There was a general desire manifested
for an immediate ratification meeting, and
we predict that the enthusiasm which is
now SO manifest throughout the city will,
by the time such an affair can be ar
ranged, have infected the entire commu-
nifty, save those alone who desire direct
benefits from the present federal admins
tration. Hurrah for Greeley!

While Mayor Flanders was delivering
his address against the drainage law that
the Legislature imposed upon the city, he
should not have forgotten to state to the
Republicans of the tenth ward that Mr..
George W. Garter, who was expected to
follow him on the stump, voted for the
law, and that, too, in a more Objectionable
shape than the form in which it now ex-
lists. If this had failed to create a sensa-
ton it would at least have had the virtue
of honesty about it.

If Mayor Flanders holds Governor War;
moth responsible for all the extravaganza
that the Legislature perpetrated, it is only
fair to hold him responsible for the ex-
~travagance which he charges against the
city government. He stands in the exact
relation to the city that the Governor does
to the State, and the rule that be estab-
fishes against another he must consent to
have applied to himself.
