od Never, in all the history OF
this Government, has it been
disgsaced by 50 infamous an ad-
ministration as the present. 2 Its
chief ruler has grown rich in the
receipt Of presents from ambiti-

in which, some of them at least,
have stolen ten-fold the amount
Of the original purchase money

B AT the Greeley and Brown
ratification meeting recently held
in Findlay, Rev. "A. @ Fields, a
Liberal Republican, was one, Of
the speakers, In his speech, he
said 1ga IN n9fng " '.ysl
''Is not Grant the man who
undertook to silence the gifted,
eloquent German naturalized
citizen, Carl Schurz? No man,
with like opportunities, did more
to elect Abraham Lincoln, and
Gen. Grant, than Carl Schurz.
Why is he denounced, fidiculed,
abused, by Gtant and his camp
followers? Carl Schurz refused
to second the denomination. of
Grant. Liberty, justice, and the
truth are more precious in his
eyes than the Nebuchadnezzar
worship Of any one man. To-day
he is'the acknowledged leader of
the great German element of the
country. Neither Grant nor
Henry Wilson have been able to
silence his irresistible pleading
in the tongue ofhis ''Faderland."
Will you, Germans, vote for
Grant, who has insulted most
basely your ablest representative
and greatest living orator in the
land 4? Will you vote for Henry
Wilson, your lifelong and sworn
enemy who in the days of
Know-nothingism, declared that
if the foreign element is to rule
in this country, he would rather
see the shanties of Irishmen
burned to the ground, and the
widows and orphans of Germans
shivering and dying with cold
and hunger :? Germans, if you
vote for them, you will forget
that this is the only nation which
is the asylum of the oppressed Of
all nations. And, Germans, your
dead comrades upon the recent
bloody fields of France. Many.
of them will rise up in indigna-,
ton against you, and lifting their
skeleton hands to heaven will
say, eve were slain aOith the bal-
lets of the administration of
Grant, who IN selling arms aud
ammunition TO France, IN time OF
~ar, violated the neutrality laws
Of his country" Germans, re-
member the pale Watchers on
the Rhine. ,"

The money resources of the

money resources, vast as they are
and unscrupulously as they may

enough, it is now feared by said

In our last issue we copied the
leader of the LbeyrfNe Neeus, headed
"Hurrah for Pinchback" and devo-
ted to the advocacy at the available
ity and qualifications Of that gentle
man for Governor of Louisiana.
Messrs. Halstead and Loud the ed
itors of the Mews are two enterpri-
sing and intelligent white Republi-
cans aud are deeply interested in
the success and perpetuity of Repub-
licanism pure and simple, they
reside in o Republican parish and
they ore constantly brought in con-
tact with the people throughout the
State, and they consequently know
pretty well the perils of the hour
and the wants and need of the peo-
pie. They know how our party is
tortured and torn. and they know
some Of the aspirants for the office Of Gov
esnor, their scrutiny p~enetrates to the bot
tom Of tho difficulties, their sagacity
the solution Of the problem
the election OF Mr.. Pinchback, and
they resolutely propose >"oot Of the
danger to pluck the flower
safely" by placing him at the head
OF our State Administration. Wheth-
or the Convention ne1t Friday will adopt
this suggestion remains to be seen.
One thing may be regarded - GER
tain, if any Republican can be elected
in November, Mr. Pinch
back can be.

CIVIL RIGHTS SUIT.

Madame Josephine Deenier, Of
the parish Of Pointe Coupee, propo-
ses to prove to the owners and con-
ductors Of tho steamboat Governor
Allen" that Notwithstanding she is
guilty Of the color of q skin," she
yet possesses rights which they are
bound to respect. This lady having
been denied adequate a~ccommoda-
ton on the Allen while on her way
to her plantation, has entered suit
in tho Eighth District Court to r.
cover actual and exemplary dam
ages, which her complaint alleges
she endured to the extent Of seven
ty-6ve thousand dollars.
She says that "she was forced to
remain in = small compartment in
the rear Of sa;d boat without the
common coovsnienoes granted to
the other passengers: that her meals
were brought out to her to said
place after all the cabin passengers
and officers had sat at the table and
eaten.
The petitioner adds that she was
compelled to sit up oil night, al
though = bed was offered to her on
the floor Of said boat. which she re-
fused for the reason that the place
was public and q place Of passage
for every ono, and she could not, on
account of delicacy, disrobe herself
or BIO exposed to the sight of every
one."

DUNN,5
NAME.

There are in our State n little
gang Of peripatetic de'nagosues
who attract attention tn, and re-
receive consideration for, them
selves, by believing, incoherently,
vociferously, aud with asinine per-
sistency, the name and virtues vi
Lieut.. Gov. Dunn.
They endeavor to create the i'm
preston now that they were on
terms of intimacy with him during
his lifetime and by aprocesso Of reason
ing peculiar to this class, argue that
consequently they are entitled, since
he is dead, to the confidence and
respect which he enjoyed. Truth
and honesty compel rs to enter our
protest against the claim of friend
ship which these reputationless
nomads 90 constantly put in. It is
within the personal knowledg &c OF
,uen who knew Mr.. Dunn that he
entertained no Aattering opinion of
his now posthumsus parasites, never
accorded them the regard bestowed
on decent people, and it is . no.
torious fact that these enterprising
seekers after respectable association
utterly failed to darken Mr.. Dunn's
doors until, with true appreciation
Of their value he became involved
in the unhappy political conflict in
our party, when to utilize all avail
able means, he tolerated this crowd
to = certain extent in order that he
might use them. And ON this
Aimsy pitiable recognition rests the
claims to friendship which the peo-
pie of Louisiana have seen so con-
stantly peraded in the columns Of
the Fag, Grand Err T. Co.

THE LIBERAL CONVENTION.

Every body seems anxious to
know what this Convention will do.
Not a few feel that it will prove .
failure.
That il is in the power Of that Con-
vention to make q ticket which can
achieve success, none doubt; but
will it do it, "that's the question"
Speaking for that portion of the
colored people who dislike the Kel-
logg ticket, we say emphatically
that they cannot, and ,oiW moi, sup
port any ticket on which their class
is not fairly represented; nor any
party that does not recognize the
equality Of all men before the law,
without regard to race or color;
we do not care who asserts the con-
trary.

MENDACIOUS FRANKS.

The Negro-H ating-S Soda Water
Efervescent- Last Ditch-Democrat-
ic-Peoples-P aper-"F 'i;cuyune," calls
Lieutenent Governor Pinchback a.
"incendiary," and appeals to the
prejudice of the black man,
by illusions to "Pinchback. and
his little squad Of m%ulattoes." We
have no care about the "Ptc" and
it's insidious mischievousness, but
we will tell the colored people ,chy
the Picayune resorts to falsehoods,
Misrepresentation and the charge
of "Incendiarism' it is because he
has been "instant in season and out
Of season., boldly and manfully de-
Tending their rights and demanding
for them the recognition, and sccu-
rity Of equal rights, in the school
house, in the hotels, on the steam
boats, on the railroads and all other
public places. The faise and mali
cious attempt to prejudice the Nack:
man against Mr.. Pinchback has been
tried frequently; made by men who
were fhr moro likely to succeed than
the dolly Warden" crowd. It was
tried when he ran for the Constitu-
tirnal Convention; for delegate from
the State at large to the National
Convention of the Republican party
in 1868; for State Senator; and in
the recent U. 8. Senatorial contest
in favor Of the late LIT. Governor
Dunn" And in each instance sig-
nally failed to influence a single col
ored vote. And the pitiable, des-
picable efforts of tho Picayune will
meet the same fate. The colored
people know and feel that honest
men, with legitimate and worthy
purposes in view would not resort
to such methods to destroy conf
dence in a political or party adver-
sary, and they know that this effort,
this abuse and Islander hoaped on
their chief spokesman and represen-
tative man, is but evidence Of the
deaire and determination of the
''last ditchers" and Co., to get rid if
possible of Pinchback," and it will
constitute one of his best recommen-
dations to the confidence and sup
port ofthe colored people Of Loui-
Siam.
