Let HIM Be Rebuked.

Grant Was The first American Presi-
dent to disgrace his high position by
appointing men to responsible and
lucrative places In the government,
s0tslg because they had come bearing
gi7ts, to the, E1ecattoe. The practice
has been condemned as vicious and
eofruptihg BY the best and wisest of
all ages. No. ruler who respects his
position could be guilty Of it. We
see'i its corrupt results in those New
York Judges, who have just been re-
moged. in disgrace from the high po-
sifions they dishonored, and who
were notorious for favoring men who
corf6pted them with gifts. i'lsi = .
Yet In the face of all the evidence
of history; ancient. and modern,
against the evil, the American people
are now asked to re+elect the man
who, in defiance of the enlightened
,opini0n of mankind, has introduced
this corrupting practice into the Ex-
jecntiVe office Of this great nation We
trust and believe that there is enough
virtue and intelligence among the
people to yrebuke the man and his
a.bettofs as they deserve. ti'ai'5 ZIG = 10. ~

Gates the election of Grant. Wendell

the association, the Democratic guild
ance, the requests to forego the in
stincts of Democracy, to endure the

@~The great enemy of Republi-
canism in this State is down. The
idols of the conspirators he led are
broken. Justice has overtaken the
fell spirit who, in aiming at the Gov
ernor directed blow against the Com
monwealth. Every leader of the OPP
position had something to gain in
getting the Governor out of the way,
so that no more vetoes would stop
their schemes of plumber and monop-
oily. The people would have had ten
millions more to pay had Carter and
his Fdgs got il. under the cloak of Re-
form. It was sham-a pretence and
has met with its just deserts. When
beaten from the field the enemies of
Republicanism cried out, "Compro-
mise" But the cry came too late.
The Administration is not yet in the
hands of Democrats, nor, we trust,
will it ever be.

LAW AND ORDER.

Those true Republicans who re-
main faithful to the legitimate gov
ernment through good report and
evil report are peaceful and law
abiding. They are cool. Nothing
but the true nerve, which while it
braves danger does not seek or in
vite it, has saved the city from the
horrors of a bloody riot. 1t is no
wonder the Fdqs cry out for q
removal of the police. The muir
derers of '6S demanded that the
police should be removed. Do we
not recollect that +? Disorder is
what the rowdy element desire, and
the police stand in the way. The
thief would, if he dared, demand
the removal of the police from the
house to be robbed. The malefactor
with his fell spirit athirst for blood
sees in the police his only terror. Is
it q wonder then that the Carter
revolutionists request it? What
they want is mob law, the law
under which the murder of the in
nocents was accomplished in '66, a
law which is no law, the chance of
a murderous intent. Can it bep os-
sible, the colored men do not know
the material out of which Carter's
sergeants-at-arms are composed :?
These men have been selected sim
ply because blood has no terrors
for them. No wonder then, that
from this source comes a cry for
the disarmament of the police. Let
the State House swarm with an
armed mob without discretion ex-
cept to prevent the members of the
State government from entering
their Offices. The police have kept
down the mob spirit for years and
with the help Of just God will
still seize and hold it-chained.

A FLAT DENIAL.


The New Orleans Times has in its
issue of the 18th this editorial par
agraph: "
''The question by Judge Abel of the
Grand Jury why inquiry was not made in
to the assault and badly wounding respec-
table col0red man in our streets, by a mob
of colored Legislators led by the Lieuten-
ant Governor" ~
Surely journalistic mendacity
could no further 60 than is shown
in this sentence quoted from the
Times.
Taking advantage of a state OF po-
ltical excitement, bordering on mob
ocratic violence, melted by its own
party and Sinking personal respon-
sibility for slanderous utterances
under the gr,ise of reporting a judges
decision, the Times perverts what
ever facts are known as to an unfor-
tunate occurrence on New Years day
and then adds the features of a
down right accusation against the
1t. Governor.
Now, once for all, it may as we'll
be understood that quieter times
and the enjoyment of more person
al leisure will give TO Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback the opportuni-
ty of making the Times prove the
libel contained in the above quoted
paragraph.
We have before denied the SUBJ
stance of this statement. We re-
peat our denial with emphasis and
also with a fair warning to those
who may persist in making the &C
cusation. The Lieutenant Govern
or had nothing whatever to do with
Mr.. Chester's wounding, and he has
rightly determined to hold those
responsible who charge him with it.

For the Louisianian.
New Orleans Jan. ID, 1871

Mr.. Editor:
Will you please enlighten the
colored people of Louisiana, what
Geo. W. Carter meant, when, with
a sheer, he said in his harangue at
Clay statute last night, that he was
"a good Republican, but if the peo-
pie around him would sustain him
in his efforts to drive the Dictator
from Illinois out of the State (be-
coming extremely emphatic) by the
eternal, they ,oould be ,cel satisfied
at the result"
And what did Mr.. Bowman mean
when he said, "the reason why Car
ter should be sustained, could not be
discussed fully here, being a subject
of discussion only at the tiresides of
the people.

LIS aDiAty, LIS uOueSC OeNOtlOu W
the interests of his people, his
activity and liberality in the support
Of party measures have united to
secure even from the democrats
such respect and admiration as any
man need be proud OF.
1t is against such a man that the
Customhouse officials of this city
have directed not only the heat Of
their partizan opposition but the
venom of defeated rivals hate, and
by Misrepresentation, unscrupulous
perversions, dlsgraceful political
combinations and dastaraly attacks
upon his reputation have apparent
ly won the aquiesence if not the &C
tive support of General Grant who
allows them to revel in the emolu-
ments of high office, to play counters
with United States soldiers, and to
sport with the sacred enactments
of the United States Congressto the
imminent risk of Republican State
life, illegal arrests of the highest Of
fcials of the State under the pre-
tended sanctions of the Ku-Klux
law for no other reason than that
Messrs. Packard, Carter &C.,. are
offended at the presence ola colored
Lieutenant Governor in the Senate.
1t may be easily perceived that
this blow is not aimed at Governor
Pinchback alone. If it hit the mark
the striker intends it to reach, every
colored Office holder in the nation
will feel the disastrous shock. We
therefore appeal to such men as
Lieutenant Governor Ransier, Of
South Carolina, to its able colored
delegation in Congress, Elliott,
Rainey and De Large, to Lynch and
Ireland Of Mississippi, to'Gibbs and
Walls of Florida, to Grey and
White Of Arkansas, to Rapier and
Craig of Alabama, to Harris and
Arnold of North Carolina, to Smith
and Murphy of Tennessee, to
Long, Turner, Belcher and Wallace
of Georgia, to Ruby and Nelson of
Texas, to Gibson and Cousins of
Kentucky, to the Sorrels of Mary
land to Turner and Robinson of
Missouri. And last, but of course not least,
we appeal to that old veteran war
horse of his race Frederick Dou-
glass in the District of Columbia to
join in one common appeal and to
unite their greatest endeavours to
arouse the National Administra-
ton from the apathy into which it
seems to have fallen with reference
to the claims of our race to con-
sideration when a member of it is
elevated to power, and from the
seeing indifference which has maxi
ed its dealings with the Custom
house faction of this city, who if
they once gain the bad eminence Of
success will destroy the Republican
party Of this State, relegate the ne.
gro back to worse than servitude,
and influence factions like them
selves in other States to follow their
bad example.
