GOVERNOR WARMOTH,s POSITION,

We suppose, after what Governor War
moth said yesterday, over his own sigma
ture, to General Hugh j. Campbell, that
there will be no more question as to what
he means and intends to do. There was
no reason to doubt the Governors posi-
before, because he declared himself, pre-
vious to his attendance at Cincinnati, with
distinctness and directness, and his action
at the convention that nominated Mr..
Greeley was such as to remove all sus-
picion from his declaration. In fact, the
intelligent and reasonable men Of the
State have long felt satisfied that Governor
Warmoth did not intend to support Grant,
for they had been told so by himself in
many public speeches, and he has con-
stantly held the same language, and his
face has been turned away from the
nepotic and corrupt administration at
Washington. There was another reason
for this belief that had as much influence
in convincing the public of its accuracy as
any other, which was this, that Governor
Warmoth was never known to turn back
from purpose which he has once DELHI
erately avowed. To some this will sound
strange and incapable of support, but the
history Of the last four years will vindicate
the correctness of the assertion. The Gov
ernor has changed his mind as to facts and
in regard to men, as he should have done
when he found that they we're unreliable
but in the assertion of a principle, or in
his opposition to a measure of wrong, We
defy his enemies to convict him of any
change Of front after he had once declared
his judgment This record Of consistency
was guarantee to reasonable men ten
months ago that Governor Warmoth would
oppose Grant unless Grant altered and
amended his public policy.
The position of the Governor is one
that no honest man can fail to admire.
1t IS a square and straightforward an
nouncement in full accord with his ante
cedent declarations He has parted with
his former friends, because they parted
from the common platform upon which
they were united. All the men that left
the Calling gun convention last year en-
gagged and bound themselves to oppose
General Grant if he did not cease to in.
terfere in the politics of the State of
Louisiana through his appointees in the
Customhouse and marshars Office They
made another engagement, that unless the
President rebuked his creatures, who had
brought cannon and muskets to overawe
a popular convention, by removing
them, they would oppose his re-elec-
ton. This engagement was a solemn one
deliberately entered upon in the interest
of public liberty and individual indie
pendenee, and the Governor has never
wavered from his promise in the premises.
This engagement was reafirmed last jan
uary when General Grants creatures sup
plemented their previous outrage by a
deliberate attempt to overawe and destroy
the Legislature Of the State. In the face
of these two overt acts on the part of the
President, we say that Governor Warmotb

a war of races. One or the other would
have to go to the wall. The experience Of
centuries leaves little doubt assto which
will be the sufferers.
1t is a vicious state Of politics which can
superinduce such a contingency as this.
1t was clear to us from the beginning that
the interests Of the colored people we're
identified with the Liberal Republican
movement. Their policy (if. in the pur-
suit of patriotism and the good of the
State, there is such thing as policy is
opposed to the greed of ofice-holders and
federal partisans. The colored people are
residents of the State, dependent upon its
improvement and political advancement
for their own well-being. The Custom
house party has no such identity Of inter
est; and the present difficulties are the le-
climate consequences of coalition of this
character.
It is not in any ephemeral or temporary
success, brought about by trickery and
fraud, that the people of Louisiana can
look for favorable solution of their diff
culties. Their success must rest upon
broad national basis, if it prove perma-
nent We must look to the future as well
as to the past. Homogenity of opinion as
well as interest is what we want among
the resident population, whether they be
Democrats, Reformers or Liberal Repub-
licans. The man who has come to the
State since the war, and the man who has
resided here all his life, have the same in
terest in the prosperity Of the State and
the integrity of its local institutions.
Social and political abuses must disap-
pear before an enlightened public opinion
and mutual Cancellation. The freedom
of election is guaranteed to all, whether
white or black, Republican or Democrat.
But because of this liberty incorporate
prejudice should not pervert it into an
engine Of tyranny, oppression and injus-
tice. The white and black races, of
whatever shade Of political opinion, can
live here in harmony if they only wish to
do so. We think the Liberal Republican
movement offers a safe and consistent
medium for the accomplishment of this
purpose. 1t proposes nothing that
patriotism does not sanction and honor
approve. It's principles are in accord
with the best interests of the State, and
its platform is broad enough for all who
have the good of their country in view.
If the principles this party has put be-
fore the people are carried out in their
spirit and truth the apprehensions now SO
pregnant with danger viii speedily fade
away.

THE POLITICAL ASPECT.

It is useless to attempt to disguise the
fact that politics in this State appear more
ineztricably entangIed than ever before in
the history Of parties. They change and
whirl like the shifting scenes Of a theatre.
It is true that principles are the same
but the adherents to these principles are
dependent upon the divisions and alliances
of politicians. Of this, every day furnishes
an example. Yesterday, the Customhouse
party was a unit to-day, it is hopelessly
divided. A week ago, an apparently ire
concilable antagonism divided the conser-
vative elements Of the State now they are
united upon question suddenly arisen,
and replete with danger and excitement.
This is a question of races Whether
Louisiana shall be Aficanized, or whether
it shall remain under the control of white
men?
For this aspect ofthe situation we are in
debted to the Customhouse party. By their
intriguing policy they have stimulated the
resentment and excited the instincts of
race among the colored people. While
a mistaken sense of gratitude turns them
in body to the support Of Grant for the
Presidency, they decline to be used as
tools by his partisans; if Grant is to have
Louisiana by their votes they very prop
erly demand the spoils, represented by
State offices in consideration. But their
white allies not only demand that they
shall sustain the Philadelphia nominees,
but their white coadiutors in the State as
we'll This arrangement, if acceded to by
the colored people, would practically ex-
clude them altogether from participation
in State affairs
This they are not content to submit to-
While maintaining their allegiance to
Grant, they are making bold push, under
the Customhouse banner, for the govern
ment Of the State. This aspect Of
affairs is by no means viewed with com
placenoy by the Democrats and Reform
ers. In view of it, a coalition with the
Liberal Republicans is losing half its ter
rors The prospective colored regime is
looked upon with far greater dread than
even the perpetuation of the present Re
publican rule and hence the difficulties Of
an adjustment Of political differences are
fast disappearing before the new danger
so rapidly looming into view. This may
possibly be the initiation of a white mans
party and a black mans party. But,
should such a condition of things unhap-
ply arise (and the probability of it is, in
deed menacing), the sin of the event VIII
belong not to the colored people, but to
those who have forced them to choose be
tween the strength Of their race on the one
side and fair participation in the spoils
Of their party on the other.
But with this We have nothing to do
The rivalry of races can not be tolerated
in any section of the country. It would
lead to the most disastrous consequences
to free institutions. From a civil or poIit-
icaI strife for power it would emerge into

A NOVEL TRIAL,

A great many people very naturally felt
an interest in the proposition of the Pic
ay1Gpe to convict the Governor of numer-
Gus misdemeanoTs in the administration
Of the government of this State. It was
called upon to submit its proofs, and ex-
pectation was wrought to eagerness in an
ticipation of it. But as if conscious of
its weak inventions, our calico neighbor
demanded the privilege of selecting its
own tribunal. The judges before whom
the case was to be tried were men of fierce
partisan prejudices, and bitterly inimical,
personally and politically, to the de-
fendant
To the composition of this tribunal the
friends Of his excellency very justly de-
INJURED, saying that the bar of public
opinion was a sufficient court for the pur-
poses in view. The public interest alone
was involved, and the public was the
proper tribunal before which the charges
should be brought This settled, the Pic
aynt1ae was again called upon to produce its
evidence.
But notwithstanding its repeated charges,
its defamations and ISLANDERS, the "peo-
pies paper" declines the issue. 1t says:
''Until the Governor. shall express his
willingness to submit to an investigation
before a competent examining board,
where the public can be properly repre-
sented, we shall decline to acknowledge
that we have done him injustice" This
competent examining board is composed
of Randell Hunt, Thomas A. Clark, c.
Roselius and Carleton Hunt empaneled
to try and organized to convict But
while declining to admit the injustice of
its accusations or to furnish the proof of
them, the Picagtne has no hesitancy in
saying it could tell much worse things of
the Governor than any yet revealed, ''if
only it had a mind to. "
But. says the Picaynoe all of these diff
culties could be obviated, if only the Gov
ernor would produce the proof of his own
delinquencies. Such a course would re-
lieve the calico organ Of the necessity and
save it the disgrace (now grown familiar,
we should think of having deliberately
stated calumny. Unless the Governor,
so the Picaytne argues, produces the evil
dence Of his mal-administration, all of the
charges must be taken as confessed.
1t is a matter of some interest to lea1R
where the peoples organ" ascertained
these strange rules of evidence. We had
always understood that man was deemed
innocent of any alleged crime until proved
gully. But the Ptcayagle reverses this
doctrine. He is not allowed the poor
privilege Of proying himself innocent.
Unless he furnishes proof to convict him
self his crime lis taken as confessed"
But says this novel accuser there is a
way of establishing that crime has been
committed in the absence Of direct testi-
mony. This is done by swearing it is so,
despite Of proof or denial to the contrary.
1t is done by unblushing effrontry, persis-
tent falsehoOd, remorseless, shameless and
deliberate unuuth. This has been the
course pursued by the Picayllne toward
the executive. It is this system it expects
public opinion to indorse.

There is no uncertainty about the posi-
ton of Governor Warmoth in regard both
to ignorance and corruption. He is
against the twain, and those who are igno-
rant and those who are dishonest need be
in doubt no longer about their standing
at the gubernatorial mansion. A large
number Of both classes will insist that they
are not included, for many ignorant men
do not know their own weakness, and a
great many rascals are very sure they are
honest because nobody knows of their
wickedness but themselves.

The letter Of Governor Warmoth, de-
clining any utilization whatev er, in any
shape, with the Grant Republicans, gave
great satisfaction in this community yes
terday. Not only this, but it gave a
death-blQw to the hopes of those who
declared for defeat or a Bourbon victory.
Liberal stock rose to a high premium and
the conviction that through the new party
only could the State be saved gained
strength in all conservative quarters.
Three of the candidates nominated at
the Opera House, we are reliably as
sured, have periodically declared that they
will not stand in the way of a reform VIC
tory and the signs are encouraging in
deed.

Grant organs express alarm that Mr.
Greeley's weakness" in lending his
means to assist business enterprises of
needy friends, will swamp the government
when he is elected President. No danger
need be apprehended. Mr.. Greeley neither
gives away nor risks anything which is
not his own; and, were it otherwise, these
needy friends could not prove so heavy a
tax upon the country as have Grants
needy relatives.

Numerous rumors of removals from
Office, and contemplated official changes

good Of the public service and devoid Of
partisan feeling.

The Endorsement of Grant by Louisi-
ana is a direct assent to the bribery de-
partment of the Gustomhouse, the Calling
gun department of the MarshaTs Office,
and the revolutionary department of
Carriers lobby. That is to say, the people
of Louisiana will indorse Casey in his con-
nivance at bribing their own legislators;
they will admit the right Of the federal
authorities to compel political conventions
to do as the President desires; and they
will consent that the lobby may overawe
the Legislature with a hired mob. General
Grant has had hand in all these trans
actions, and if we vote for him we virtu-
ally say he had his hand in the right
place. Probably the people are tired of
governing themselves. Such thing has
happened that men voluntarily surren-
dered their liberties because they became
tired and disguised at watching and
guarding them. The verdict next Novem-
Der will point the sentiment of the coun-
try on this subject

The Bee draws doleful picture of the
future of Louisiana under absolute negro
rule. A Grant victory in November, it
declares, will cause a great influx of col
ored population and eflux Of our most
valuable whites. We quote its closing
paragraph, and earnestly commend its
thoughtful consideration to the recently
nominated Democratic ticket, to the indig-
nant Reformers, and all others who would
not join the Liberals, even to be saved:
The question whether our fruitful and
beautiful commonwealth, and this great
metropolis, are to be doomed to perpetual
Authorization is to be settled at the No
vember election. If by solid and I'M
aided negro vote they once win ascendency,
their strength will wax, while ours wanes
for century to come. Let those who are
trying to divide and neutralize the con-
sentative votes of the State think well of
the negro dynasty which they will thus
help to erect.

Saws the Citizens, Gllnrd.

Is there anybody who does not know that
the election of 1870, at least so far as some
Of those who were declared elected to both
branches of our Legisture are concerned,
was base fraud upon the people of this
State, SO skillfully manipulated by super
visOrs of registration and others that it was
impossible to detect just how it was done
and who did it?
For answer to the first part of the above
query we would refer our contemporary to
Colonel George W. Carter, of Cameron,
B. L. Lynch, of Tberville, or any one of
the score or so of ex-members whom it
represents, and ''who know how it is them
selves" And if these frauds were $50
skillfully manipulated by supervisors OF
registration, that sit was impossible to
detect them, wherein lies the justice or
honesty of its attacks upon the Governor?
Can he perform 'impossibilities?
