DISCUSSING SENATOR SUMNER.

Lieutenant Governor Pinchback proved
himself to be match for bis antagonists
in the colored convention on Thursday.
He adhered to his text with tenacity that
nothing could loosen. He refused to ac-
cept the declaration that the Republicans
of the United States can only be saved by
General Grant; he refused to distrust
Charles Sumner because General Grant is
unfriendly to him; he boldly declared that
the greatest danger to the colored people,
as it is to every other class of citizens, was
to be found in the disposition which few
men desired to impress upon the public
mind that in order to be treemen they
must all submit to one mans dictation. If
the people can not save themselves, except
bv electing one man as President, what
are we to do if this one man dies? Cen
eral Grant has not done his duty, but he
has taken care of his own family and
friends. This is all that can be said in his
favor. The colored people are better pro-
tected in Louisiana by the State govern
ment than they are in Washington city, or
any where else, by the national admins
tration. And yet we are told that all our
safety depends upon General Grant. This
sort Of political argument only paves the
way to the mental enslavement Of the race
which has but lately received perfect
enfranchisement Of mind and BODY at the
hands and through the exertions Of such
men as Charles Sumner. The noblest work
that has lately been perfected in favor ofthe
colored people was accomplished through
| the exertions Of Senator Sumner in the
passage Of the civil rights bill. And are
we to be told that the man who has done
this is no Republican because he is not
| the friend of the President, who struck
him down and thus sought to impair the
very power and influence which was work
| ING at that very time in behalf of the
colored people? Where was General
Grant while Mr. Sumner was laboring in
behalf Of the negroes years ago? If the
Republican party was capable of saving
! the nation and manumitting the slaves
without General Grant, what is to prevent
it from preserving the country and pro-
tecting the freemen it has entranchlsed
| During the delivery Of the Lieutenant
Governors speech the innate sense o.
every member responded to the justice o.
the speakers remarks, and the hal
echoed with favorable responses to the
telling hits that were made in favor OF the
great friend Of Republican;sm from Mas
sachusetts Mr.. Pinchback carried all the
delegates with him in his enthusiasm, and
nothing but the selfish afterthought q

The Times yesterday, with degree OF
positiveness that indicates reliable Enowl-
edge of the subject, declares that the
"Customhouse clique want everything
the State as well as all the federal Offices,
and have already made their selections for
all" This is said in referring to the de-
lection Of Mr.. Joseph Wilson from the
supporters of the Customhouse organ,
and confirms the report which has been
current for several days, that the Packard
convention is ''cut and dried affair,
with the slate fully made up for the men,
bers to ratify. It may also account for the
sudden lukewarmness OF several promi-
nent gentlemen whom Brother-in-Iaw
Casey had ascertained were for Grant. This
is world Of disappointments-especially
to Louisiana politicians, just now.

This is the sentiment Of leading mem
her of the colored convention, now in ses-
sion in this city, as printed in the reports.
We call general attention to it as O speci-
men of the basest ingratitude that ever
disgraced humanity: ':As have already
said, some men live too long; Abe Lincoln
eras taken off just in time!" Mr.. Harralson,
of Alabama, has the credit Of thus refer
ring TO the maItyr-author Of the enanci-
patton proclamation. And all to give
point to his advocacy Of Grant.

The Times has been making a close
count of the Republican strength here
abouts. In noticing the retirement Of
wen-knovn citizen from journalistic life
it says:
Mr.. Wilson is strong supporter Of Cen
eral Grant, almost the only one of his white
supporters who does not hold federal
office.
The fault is no. with the white Repub
leans. but the cause of the estrangement
can be found in the outrages perpetrated
upon them by the Presidents Office
holders.

Mr.. Harralson, who represents the State
of Alabama in the colored convention now
in session at Mechanics Institute, is not
exactly the right man to tell the people of
Louisiana that their Governor is not a
Republican, for the simple reason that
white Alabama has been lost to the Re-
publicans under Mr.. Harralson's manage
ment, the State of Louisiana has been held
firmly to the faith under the management
Of Governor Warmoth. If men are judged
by their deeds, the Republicans Of Louisi-
ana had better trust their Governor than
the losing politicians of other commu-
mites.

So the disintegration Of the Custom
house ring goes on. We learn from the
Times that Joseph H. Wilson, ESQ, who
for some time has presided over the COM
pany which owns and conducts the Na-
tional Republican, has retired from his posi-
ton, because he is mot prepared to sur
render the State and city governments into
the hands of the greedy and remorseless
crew of cormorants'' with whom 1.-The
presidency of the Customhouse organ
brought him into association. Mr.. Wilson
has decided wisely and well.

It is a safe rule to judge Of the force Of a
blow by it's effect On the receiver. The
anger of the Citizens Guard at the Repub-
lican mass meeting on Lafayette square
Thursday night is the best evidence that
effort was success. Men very seldom
get mad when they are the winners; they
preserve their wrath for the occasion when
they have been defeated. We are satisfied,
and we suppose the Guard will have to be.

As modest, unpretending colored car
pet-bagger, J. Henri Burch is our special
choice. A few weeks ago he was in sworn
league with the fiery, untamed hu-klux
leaders in scheme to overturn the Re-
publican government Of Louisiana. Now
he turns up, fresh from the embraces Of
the Democratic State Committee in a col
ored convention, and denounces lifelong
Radical leaders for daring to call their
brethren together to consult as to the best
means of preserving the party of which
they are the founders. Carl Schurz will
feel greatly abashed and Inundated when
hears that J. Henri has CONTEMPORARY
denounced him as ''big Dutchnan. We
are sorry for Schurz.

ner when he learns that one Harralson, Of
Alabama, and our Burch, have determined
to read him out of the Republican party

THE LASH.

On Thursday the crack Of the Presiden-
tial whip again sounded in the halls Of the
Louisiana Legislature 1t was not this
time to cause the arrest Of State officials
in order that the government might be rev.
olutionized, but it was for purpose none
the less humiliating to our pride as free
American citizens, and equally fraught
with danger to republican independence
and liberty.
In the hall of the House of Representa-
tives of Louisiana the colored people OF
the United States, through their assembled
representatives, are instructed that they
must sustain the President! The conven-
ton dared to select for its temporary chair
man Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, who
is suspected of unfriendliness to the pow
ers that be, and instantly the lightning is
invoked to warn the members that they
are risking the favor Of the head Of the
government, who is determined upon per-
petuating his reign. On Tuesday Mr..
Pinchback is assured of the confidence Of
the leading men Of his race, and at once
the name of Mr.. Parker is withdrawn,
Incraham is nominated and confirmed
Surveyor of Customs, and brother-in-law
Casey, domiciled at the White House, tele-
graphs him that he must, in return, fix the
convention for Grant
The Endorsement of individuals had
naught whatever to do with the purposes
for which the convention was called, but
the action of the members may have
much to do with their future prospects
and welfare. They have assembled ex-
clusively as colored men, not to make
nominations for Office or to seek to infu-
ence them, and if they permit themselves
to be manipulated and controlled IN the
interest of any politician, damage to
their standing as a responsible and self
reliant class of the people must, under
the peculiar circumstances, inevitably re-
suit. True friends Of tie colored people
would not seek thus to tie their fortunes
to those of single man, and an aspirant
for the highest Office in the nation should
be above such pitiful appeals for popular
favor. We sincerely regret for the sake of
our party that the President, or one so di-
rsctly representing him, should have com
mitted so discreditable blunder.
