The GdIvesfos Representative, of
March %, makes the following re-
marks On the .sahjects of the above
caption: ssssa.a
Lieut.. Governor Finchback is more
than an ordinary representative of his
party. Though net equal in political
acumen to his more subtle coadjutor,
ii. G. Warmsth, yet in all that consti-
tutesaa wcllwisher of his race and par
ty he is worthy compeer of many of
his mora, experienced and older poll
ticians. Brains, brains are wanting in
this hoM of evil turmoil, and Mr..
Pinchhack does not lack in this essen
tial of manhood. No one who has
read his last speech in the Legislative
halls of Louisiana but must be
thoroughly convinced that he fully un-
derstands the leading questions of the
day. Should the Southern born peo-
pie extend to bis race the same politi.
cal freedom they themselves enjoy /;
should they concede all that the civil
rights bill accords to all citizens of the
Union; should they POLITICALLY recog-
nize the absolute freedom ia speech
and action of people Of his ewn celor,
and cast aside many Of the old pre-
JUDGES elrgendered by the slave laws
OF his country, he is willing to pledge
himself for his race that they will walk
in fellowship with their Southern bre-
thren, and vote down those aspirants
for Office whe have lived, lied, and
promised, to the injury of both races,
and when asked for justice and patron
age, have turned their backs upon
Southern born men, be they white or
colOred. Ii is evident that. this man
of understanding spoke by authority,
and in dead earnest. He would cheer
fully and gratefully turn to those who
had been born OH the soil of his ma
tive South, if they would only meet
him half way, and feel toward his
race as Christian men should feel to-,
ward each other, whose strength form
ed and matured By the same elements
of life, warmed 10y the same genial
cline, and lighted by the smiling
beams of the lustrous rays of the
Southern sun. The instincts of this
man are truly Southern, but'he wants
a resting place for his race upon q
secure basis, ana he finds it not on
the mountain of false promise, broaght
from foreign States, unenviable as they
are transient. Es ~

al contains editorials exactly eoincid-
ing with onr own views, as to the
course to be taken by all conservative
men in the present aspect of politics.
A STRAw.-The Picaysne, the recog-
nized organ of the Reform party in this
State, publishes communication, with
u quasi endorsement by the editor, pro-
posing coalition between the Reform
ers and the Customhouse Republicans
in the nomination of a State ticket for
the next campaign. We have always
maintained that a consolidation of
forces by these two parties was to be
the result of their previous close
coddiing," and that tho Reform move
ment was simply the Carter coalition
in new guise. The programme was
to lie low and keep dark while the
public mind was dashed into O fury
against Governor Warmoth and final
~, when everything was ready, the
triggers were to be sprung, and nice
lot OF Democrats caught IN the trap,
who would otherwise have sought 4
mere coiagemal association.
9 The Bossier Baxmer, q democratic
journal ot"the straitest sect, n'demHnds
the abdication of the present Demo
cratic State Central Executive Com
mittee when the convention ,efApril
18th meets. A good move, Reighbor;
aud II the Reformers will also throw
up the sponge,, and both give way to
other leaders, they will see the De-.
mocrstcy lifted up out of the slough of
despond at ence, and the good State of
redeemed next November.

WHAT GRANT Is WoRTH.-The
special Washington correspondent OF
the Louisville COurier-J Journal, in his
letter of the 22d, says:
Your correspondent begs to refer to
tile President as a mere typical head
of his party, and not the individual
representative Of any fraud, or job, or
corruption. He has always entertain
ed the belief of the Presidents person
al integrity, and states futherMere
that an Investigation into this pecuni-
airy affairs e0rr0bOrates that belief.
He does this specifically to justify his
opinion, to do justice to political adj
versary, and alse to correct an
erroneous impression. The President
has been and is possessed of this
property viz: $1OO,aOO donated to
him by the merchants of New York /;
a house in Philadelphia, $40N, 900 rem
ted now at $3400 per year; $40 acres
of land near st. Louis, purchased,
with all the improvements, at less
than @50, 600; One-fOurth of 120 acres
of land situated near Chicago, 5000;
5000 stock in Michigan Iron CON.
pany; his Long Branch residence,
$30, 1000, and a small amount in Adams
Express and railroad shares The
bulk OF the property wars obtained
through the gifts made to him by the
New York merchants before he wis
elected President, the real estate
presented to him in Philadelphia and
in washington, and his purchase of
the st. Louis estate from his brother
in-law. 1t is not improper to state
more specifically that the Presidents
income, outside of his salary as Presi-
dent, is about $1,000 per year. make
these statements because it has been
charged by Mr.. Wendell Phillips that
Gen. Grant was worth 47O0,O0A or
100000, and because / am satisfied
that statement is untrue. Perhaps
it should be added to this that Gen.
Grant is anything but an extravagant
man personally, and the story is told.
