SOCIAL EQUALITY.

Is it not a little singular to find in the
Times and Picoyaee, and among the old
slave-holding Democracy, the most en-
thusiastic advocates Of social equality?
They have absolutely gone beyond the
most pious elders in the Abolition church
and Sumner, and Garrison, and Phillips,
and Mrs. Stowe hide their diminished
heads in shame that the great rebel news
papers of Louisiana, and the fathers in
the late rebellion, are throwing wide their
generous arms, and saying with pathetic
tenderness and infinite love OF the colored
race, come rest in this BOSOM
We know not, ask not. i thourt coiored at
heart,
We know that We love thee. whatever thou art"
until after the election.
There can be 40 doubt about it. The
thing is a settled fact. In proof of it,
Sandy Packer has been invited to accom-
pany the editor OF the Tines to his New
England home, his honored guest, and
Will enjoy its elegant Inequalities during
the heated term, while Toudou John is to
become the recipient Of social courtesies
extended him at private reunions at the
family residences Of tie Two hundred and
thirty.
Indeed. it Is not TOO much to anticipate
sort of social millennium in New Orleans,
which, under the auspices Of the great Re
- oil Il -,
tons It is true there are some little
drawbacks to the complete realization Of
the grand social harmony Of the races.
This proceeds from an evident disinclina-
ton on the part Of the colored people to con-
sent to the arrangement. They are afraid
they will get the worst Of the bargain, in
asmuch as it is not always the case that
even Reformes confers any ecln by his
association and public recognition
1t is possible, however, that the enthusi-
asm Of the parties we have mentioned
may 50 far overcome the natural scruples
alluded to as to give them footing in
colored society.
In that event the future is pregnant with
great reforms, which may extend to some
thing more than a correction of political
abuses. At any rate the proposition has
the merit of justice, and if the Retormers
can only convince the colored people that
it did not originate IN an overweaning de-
sire to get their votes, We see no objection
to It's feasibility.

TRANSFERRING A NUISANCE.

The City Council has committed the
double mistake Of supposing that large
and offensive drainage canals penetrating
the heart of the city are necessary, and
that it would be good thing to transfer
the canal on Canal street, which is ad-
mitted to be nuisance, to Banks street,
where it will be just,as much Of a nuisance
as it is where it is. The fact is, none Of
demonstrated by the fact that the water
fall is carried off quite as rapidly, and much
| more healthily, in districts where there
are no canals as it is in districts where
these admitted nuisances exist. From
Melpomene street to the upper limits Of
the city there are no canals, and yet
we never hear-of the property-owners Of
that section of the city demanding any
such improvement. And the ditch on
Canal street, which IS protested against
by the people whom it is said to benefit,
is not only unpopular on account of its
offensive unsightliness and unpleasant
stencil. but is rejected because of its COM
parative .uselessness for the purposes for
which it was excavated. They have petit
toned for it's abatement and not for its
removal. They prefer to be troubled with
slight addition to the volume of water
that presently -swells their cutters to that
degree that they are impossible for a few
hours to the ever-present ugliness and
nastiness that makes their big canal an
eyesore and stencil in the nostrils day
and night, summer and winter.
Banks street is an elegant thoroughiare,
that is settling up with a healthy and
thrifty population. To remove the ugly
ditch on Canal street to that avenue will
be to inhict upon innocent and helpless
people a great injury and an intolerable
nuisance. They do not seem to be con-
tented with the prospect, and are taking
such measures by way of protest as they
hope will induce the City Council from
inhicting this wrong upon them. We sim
cerely hope their petition against this
measure will be needed, and that the Coun-
Gil will receded from its design.

s'TEB TAIL w NE COAT

The local reporter Of the Bee Was evi-
IDENTIFY on the lookout for an '.inemy'
when he perpetrated the following:
If the iIreverent, not to say sacrilegious
statement, which appeared editorially in
one OF the Sunday morning papers, that
St. Patrick instructed the Irish how to dis
til ''pOteen," did not emanate from igpor-
ance or a silly levity, it was uttered very
inopportunely as a sheer.
We have been at some pains to hunt up
the ''sacrilegious" paragraph, which we
found in the columns of fat neighbor
But We are utterly unable to see anything
in it or in the offending paper calculated
to raise the ire Of a sensible hIilesian,
however blindly he may be devoted to the
memory Of Erin's great patro saint. Be
sides history and legend are arbitrary,
and must be followed But we give the
:'sacrilegious sneer," as the French re-
porter calls it:
But st. Patrick was an instructor of the
people as well in other matters as in re-
iigion. 1t is said that poteen the favorite
beverage Of Ireland, derived its name from
him, he, according to the legend, being the
first who instructed the Irish in the art of
distillation. Thus it comes about that the
favorte beverage has an honored place in
observance of st. Patrick's day. All honor
to the saint and to the day.

THE RAIL OPENED.

The address of the Republican COM
mittee of the third congressional district
signed by President John H. Gallup
and Secretary Emerson Bentley, IS most
earnest, stirring and timely appeal ana
we learn is having most beneficial effect
By its suggestion ward clubs and parish
committees are recognizing under the
leadership Of the most active and lnii''-
entail Republicans Of the various localities
and the party spirit and fealty manifested
is almost without precedent.
Their coalition with the Democrats,
omen and avowed, has left the Custom
house ring barren of followers; and it IS
very doubtful if Including all the minor
federal officials) full delegations to con-
vention under their auspices-should they
have the hardwood to call one-could be
obtained We give thanks to the Repub-
leans Of the third district and hope soon
to see their vim and enthusiasm. emulated
in every section OF our loved and lovely
Louisiana. Let not the good work lag for
a moment.

SENATOR TRUMBULJ,

A few days ago, Mr.. Trumbull, tie
Senator from Illinois, is reported to have
rose and sent to the desk, to be read to the
Senate, all extract from Washington let
ter, published in paper printed at Hast
ings, Michigan, charging that Senator
Trr1nbull had Illegally pocketed ten
thousand dollar fee in the McCardle case,
in the Supreme Court, having been en-
ployed to represent the United States by
President johnson; and further charging
that Senator Trumbull's vote in the i'm
peachment trial of President johnson was
Influenced by this fee. In doing this, Mr.
Trurnbull took occasion to remark, that
though he had often been illuminated
and nlisrepresented, during seventeen
wears of service in the Senate CT the
United States he never before had risen
to a personal explanation; and he was
constrained to do so then because he IN
derstood the author of the letter was an
officer Of the government, and had been
instigated to make the attack by mem
Der of the Senate Mr. Trumbull, con-
tinuirg his remarks, said that some time
since the Senator from Michigan, MIR.
| Chandler, had offered. a resolution IN
structing the Committee on Retrenchment
to inquire whether any Senator had, under
| cover Of counsel fees Or otherwise, lie
gally received money from the treasury OF
the United States. Mr.. Trumbull then
asked Senator Chandler whether he was
the author Of the information contained
in said letter The honorable Senator
from Michigan could not remember
whether he had instigated this libel upon
fellow Senator Or not, but he acknowl-
edged that he had Senator TruInbull in his
minds eye when he (Chandler) offered the
resolution referred to.
It appears that Mr.. Chandler hac been
led into error in supposinS that PRESIDENT
Johnson had employed Nj. TrumbuN to
defend the interest Of the government IN
| the McCardle case, and that consequently,
| his CIrumbull's) vote was given against
the conviction Of the President III the I'M
| parchment trial The honorable Senator
from Michigan was not slow in tracing up
motive for MIR. Trumbull's vote upon
| that momentous occasion, nor was he slow
to pronounce the fee illegal while laboring
under the impression that Andrew John
son instead Of General Grant had employed

MI Irumhul to look after the interest OF
the government in the McCardle case.
Mr.: Irumbull was employed by Gen.
eral Grant, who Was then Acting
Secretary of War, to defend the constitu-
tlonality OF the reconstruction acts Presi-
dent johnson and his Attorney General
NJ. Stanber1y, We're decidedly OF the
! opinion the reconstruction acts were I'M
constitutional, and upon Mr.: Stanberry
refusing to argue the case for the govern
ment before the Supreme Court, General
| Grant as Secretary Of War. ad interim,
wrote letter to Senator Trumbull, stating
that the department wished to engage his
services in that very important case. Mr..
Trumbull appeared before the Supreme
Court. and successfully argued the consti-
tutionality of the reconstruction laws,
which permitted the work of reconstruc-
ton to proceed in the Southern States.
For this service Mr. Stanton fixed the fee
at SIG, 009, and the government paid Mr..
Trumbu.l the same as it would pay any
other competent lawyer to defend a great
interest. This was not the first instance
in which members OF Congress had been
employed to appear in courts, either for
Or agains. the government The custom is
as old as the.government, and Mr.. Trum-
bull boldly asserted in the Senate cham
l. - rf,a I'D ~
OF law.
The fact Of Mr. Trumbull's being EN-
ployed by General Grant instead OF Andrew
johnson effectually kills the motive the
honorable Senator from Michigan assigns
as reason for Mr. Trumbul's vote refls-
ing to dismiss President Johnson from
office; and the further fact that some Of
our ablest and best men members OF
Congress been employed to appear
ment, leaves the honorable Senator from
Michigan without a vestige OF truth to
sustain his attempted defamation of one Of
the oldest and noblest Senators that repre-
sent the sovereign States OF the American
Union at this time. It is indeed sad
spectacle to find the spirit Of partizanship
permeating the Senate chamber Of the
nation and denouncing the foremost men
in the great work Of reform. Because
Senator Trumbull has dared to raise his
voice against the corruptions and abuses
that have crept into the administration OF
the federal government, Senator, who
apparently prides himself more on party
fealty than an honest, economical admin
tration of public affairs and strict adj
herence to principles, descends from the
high position'of Senator to take rank with
the common newspaper calumniator:

Others have been modified, and that, too,
under the auspices Of ,the Republican
party, and against the efforts of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative element III the
Legislature to prevent it.
These facts stand out more prominently
than mere word promises. 1t shows that
the genuine reformers are, the Repub-
licans, and not those who falsely take the
name.
The party of Governor Warmoth is
anxious to reflect the popular will. They
are indeed the people. But those under
the sobriquet Of "Reformers' are only
seeking to delude and deceive.

While the Ku-Klux rowdies are being
convicted in every direction, notwith-
standing the standing denial Of the
Picayne that there We're any such rap
scallions in existence, that paper again
encourages the evil by asserting that
every attempt to suppress this disgracetul
band is an outrage upon the South. The
Republicans, whom it is attempting to
cheat with professions Of reconciliation to
universal amnesty and general peace, will
please bear in mind that this support
Of the ku-Klux is the best evidence they
can obtain that the Picay,ne is not a
particle improved in its morality, but Is
the same old concealed enemy of the col
ored people that it ever was. The paper
that can deliberately uphold lawlessness
by denouncing every attempt to destroy
it, is the enemy of the South as much as
it is the enemy Of the negroes And
when it denies that there are outrageous
bands of the Ku-Klux in the South it
defends the rowdies by indorsing their
actions as not amenable to punishment,
