Church Picnic. The Picnic given
by the ladies of the Congregational

success in point of numbers, though 4
very pleasant time was enjoyed by those
present. The few days previous to the
picnic were cold, wet and dreary, which
caused many to fear that the ground
might be too damp for health, and con
scqnently stayed at home. Fortunately
for those attending, and unfortunately
for those who did, attend the day
was lovely, tho ground dry and every

RIGHT AGAIN.

We are not disposed to find that, fault
with the German Gazette on account of its
present position toward the fusion move
ment that the Times and Pjcayone are de-
termined to find The reformatory effort
in politics, as attempted by the Gazette in
common with the REPUBLICAN, did not
contemplate a mere putting out Of Repub-
leans and putting in of Bourbon Demo-
Gratis, but it suggested a substitution Of
good men for inferior ones, without regard
to their former political affiliations. The
Gazette, unfortunately, wavered at the very
time when it should have stood faste and
the movement that then was on the point
of being made success fell into weakness
and ultimate defeat. Now the Gazette is
on the right track again, insisting that the
government shall be intrusted to the best
men, without regard to what they may
have believed heretofore, and we congratu-
late ourselves that we are again assisted
by such an able coworker in reform as the
Gazette is when it is right

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER o. 1872

more in accordance with justice and sound
policy-has been set forth and con-
stantly urged. But political CONVEX
sions are seldom sudden. Men do
not like to come ont boldly and acknoBl-
edge that they have been in the, wrong.
They prefer to back slowly, step by step,
disputing every inch Of ground before
yielding it. Accordingly we now see men
who are Republicans at heart, convinced
against their will by the logic of necessi-
ty, instead of openly proclaiming their
conversion and joining the Republican
party, halt at the halfway house of Lib
eral Republicanism, and a very good halt
ing place it is, affording view backward
and forward from the arid and WORKOUT
plains Of Democracy to the fertile fields
of true Repubicanism, These fields are
the hope and the home of the working
man, white and black, throughout the
country In this part of The country,
however, there is no denying that at the
present time these fields are mostly in the
hands OF the black man. Equally true is it
that his interest, as well as that of the
rest Of the community, requires that such
division, on such basis, should cease,
and the sooner the better. But how is
such change to be brought about BY
the black man abandoning the Republican
party, going over to those who would in
deed accept his vote, but would probably
if they had it use the power it gave them
against his interests? Is this the best
way to do away with color as politi-
cal element? Not SO, but by the
conversion of the white Democrat. To
assist in this conversion let each coIored
man use his influence with the best De-
mocrat he knows. There are plenty of
good men among them. Let these good
men come over to the good cause
not half way over, but all the way; not to |
the Liberal party, but to the Republican |
party.o Go to work, then, colored men,
IN good earnest to preach the doctrine of
Republieanism you have justice and
sound policy on your side, and in lifelong
'un these are sure to win.

POLITICAL CONVERSION.

The New Orleans REPUBLICAN, was started
at time when the very word republican
was ohensiye4o the ruling element in this
community, andwhen the principles which
that word represents rendered the men
who protested them objects of opprobrium.

lty Of the black man with his white fellow
citizen, was to outrage the preiudiceg Of
the majority of the white Dart Of the
population, and to subject ones self IN
teainess and social ostTaoism. Yet tba
REPUBLICAN took that stand, and has
boldly maintained it ever since.

posite views the reasons for such a stand
and inviting their cooperation in the
cause Of justice and true craftsmanship.

party lines on the basis Of eelor. has al

DISPUTED LAND TITLES.

| An impression has gone out, and has
been strengthened by an intination to
that effect i'll one or more of our city pa
pers, that the act of Congress passed at
the last session, and approved June 10,
1872, extending the provisions of an act
for the final adjustment Of private land
claims in the States Of Florida, Louisiana
and Missouri, quiets the holders of lands
in their previous titles. This is an error,
and if the proper remedy were neglected,
might prove a fatal one to the owners of
many a happy home. The act of June 10,
1872, simply extends the provisions of
the former act for three years longer and
the second section OF the act provides
that
All persons claiming lands, as specified in
the first section of said act, may have their
claims confirmed IN accordance with the
former, and in the manner prescribed in
said act, in all cases where it shall be salts
factorily proved that the claimants, and
those from whom they derive their title.
have held continuous possession of the land
claimed, from the date of the cession to the
United States of the territory out of which
the States of Florida, Louisiana and Mis-
souri, were formed
It therefore becomes necessary, under
the former act of Congress, extended by
the recent act, for the claimant to prove
by written evidence that the land sought
to be confirmed was acquired by virtue of
grant, concession, order of survsg, permits
sion to Settles OF. other written evidence of
title, emanating from the French, Spanish
or British governments If any Of this
evidence is lost parole evidence must be

In regard to the quarantine existing al
this port, we may state that several ship,
ping agents, interested in foreign trade,
have called upon Governor Warmoth to
secure the'annullment Of his proclama-
ton, barring this port against certain
others declared infected. The Governor
has referred the subject to the Board Of
Health, and it is piobable quarantine will
end on the first proximo.

THE DROUGHT.

The extraordinary drought thatnow ex-
lists in New Orleans prevails as far north as
Wisconsin, and perhaps further. Mr.. NJ.
Carvino who has just returned from trip
to the Northwest, informs US that through
out the entire line of his travels, from
Portage City to New Orleans, the want of
rain is a prevailing complaint, the earth
being parched and the crops suffering to
a most alarming extent. The wheat crop
in the West is seriously injured. and fur
Their south both corn and cotton are badly
damaged by the continued dry weather.
The weather-wise say that we need expect
no rain until the next change of the moon,
which occurs in about ten days. This is
long time to wait for shower, but, as
we can not reform the matter, the thirsty
earth must content itself with what it can
not better.

THE QUARANTINE FRAUD.


We learn from gentleman connected
with Norgan's steamship line that an
effort is being made by the New York RING
