WILT THOU DESCRIBE THE HOME

T The Times sent its interviewing reporter
after Lieutenant Governor Pinchback on
Sunday, and found q fertile and interest
ing crop of political, social, economical
and miscellaneous information in the pos
session of that officer, which the writer
brought away with him and gave to the
public Monday morning. Governor
Pinchback lives in comfortable two
story house on Derbigny street, near
Canal, well furnished with furniture, the
rooms set off with Brussels carpets, hand
some curtains, we'll selected pictures, oil
paintings, etc, and the centre table orna-
mented with photographs of emienent
colored statesmen. There is choice
library and an elegant sideboard in one Of
the rooms, and, taken for all in all, the
place is just such home as might be COW
eted by any person Of moderate means.
Governor Pinchback did not hold back in
the traces at all, but lent patient atten-
ton to his qrestioner, and responded with
wit and readiness to all that was asked of
him. If the reporter had interlarded his
interview with description of the distin-
guished gentleman whose opinions he so
industriously gathered together the report
would have been more interesting. for all
the world likes to see the man who talks
to it, even if this sight is limited to a pen
picture. The material of the conversation
may be classified as good, both parties being
expert takers and suggestive thinkers

4 COLLATERAL ISSUE

The Louisiantan propounds an interroga-
tory to the REPUBLICAN in this wise:
Is IT INDICATIVE Our neighbor, the RE-
PUBLICAN, in chronicling the recent appoint
ments by acting Governor Pinchback, diff
ters from the other city papers in that it re-
fers to the appointments as made by Lieu
I tenant Governor Pinchback." We scarcely
think this slight omission of an official pre-
Tx Intentional or material, but several
friends having directed our attention to it, we
pass it on.
indicative of what?" That we doubted
the authority Of the acting Governor
to make these or any other APP
polntments he deems proper? If that be
the object of the query, we say no.
OF his right to the designation of acting
Governor, or even Governor, during the
absence of Governor Warmoth? Again we
say no. Of our intent to deny to Lieuten-
ant Governor Pinchback, in whatever
sphere be may be called to act, a due and
full recognition of his dignity? BY no
means. If there is any indication in it at
all, it is that our reporter has become SO
Infatuated to the manner OF designation
that he wrote the Objectionable title with
out thinking about the matter at all Only
this and nothing more. Is our respected
confrere of the Louisidaia1a satisfied ?
1t was customary with the REPUBLICAN
to designate Lieutenant Governor Dunn by
his original constitutional title, even when
of habit, perhaps, and was not intended to
disparage. We never heard any complaints
about 1t. And in government professedly
republican, it is not usually expected of a
free press that rigid adherence to formal
rules shall be observed in speaking of
titled gentlemen. 1t would be too mono

THE SOCIAL EQUALITY PREJUDICE.

The interviewer from the Times carried
his prejudices with him when he went to
turn Governor Pinchback inside out on
Sunday. One of the questions upon
which he sought enlightenment was that
of social equality, and be asked Governor
Pinchback if it was possible for a race
that was but lately emancipated to estab-
fish a real equality with the whites during
the present generation? The Lieutenant
Governor very sensibly replied that there
was no such thing as social equality as
between the whites and blacks, because it
does not exist between the whites them
selves. The colored people do not prac-
tice it among themselves, nor do they
expect it to be practiced toward them by
others, for it would be an outrage upon
human nature to require the good
to accept Of the bad as their
equals in society or any where
else. But there is this level upon which
all ought to meet, that like should assimi-
late with like upon absolute terms of
equality for their mutual benefit. Their
interests in society are the same, and they
should meet each other honestly and fair
ly in order to subserve and protect their
common interests. As to matters of asso-
citation, that is something which every one
must regulate according to his tastes-the
ascetic living with the ascetics, and the
free and easy livers making their mess to-
gether. We have enlarged the language of
the answer somewhat, but the idea is the
same and it is the plainest and most con-
vincing negation that can be given to the
charge that the Republicans expect or
propose to legislate in favor of PROPOSE
ton that can not be enforced by a law.
The reporter, however, only reflected the
prejudices of the Times when he asked the
question

this city is resented as intrusive when it
seeks to command the party in Louisiana,
not by virtue of its own merits, but by
virtue of the influence which it derives
from the authorities at Washington. 1t
reverses the natural order of things by
seeking to make the agent greater than the
principal. Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back presents this matter in its true light
when he refuses to act with the Custom
house officers in making them the rulers
in all things, for that would be to create
power greater than the people themselves.
Let the Customhouse influence confine
itself to federal matters, while the Repub
licans of Louisiana attend to their own
concerns. The lesson taught at Covington
ought to ripen Messrs. Casey and Packard
into better politicians than they are.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The cotton market yesterday looked I'M
| utterable things. Inquiry ran ahead of the
ticket made up on Saturday, and factors
we're strengthened in their opinions of
higher prices, preferring not to dispose of
their stock, in the expectation of higher
prices. 1t must also be borne in mind that
buyers are 10th to engage in the operations,
making dull market, which, however,
gives promise Of better field to-day.
The street is waking up again and livli-
ness is once more apparent, so as to give
stocks better look. 1t is the period of the
year that obligations generally take a diff
ferent turn upward, owing to the spare
money which is ready for investment. Be-
sides, many Of the financial men upon the
street had sailed down their money in war
rants, which, being disposed of at good
price, has set it free again, when on the
principle that "a dollar idle is dollar
lost" the cash became nimble and entered
into investments among the lighter things.
Money for such investments is hence all the
more ready, which stirs up business in a
place where there was none before
Levee stock has appreciated of late; in
deed it is looming up into respectable
figure. The ordinary could have been sold

and the whole machinery of the law is in
motion. A sale of $50 shares was made at
81 80 yesterday morning early, and other
transactions were heard of, but the sellers
wish to keep mum.
In other stocks there is nothing out of the
ordinary current of affairs to be noted.
There were no sales at the Board of
Brokers last evening. The offerings and
bids were as follows.

AN INSTRUCTIVE LESSON.

A lesson might be learned by the federal
officials in New Orleans from what oc-
Cured in Covington, Kentucky, last week.
The colored people Of that city met in
convention, and deliberately resolved that
General Grant was not their first choice
for President, since he had not done fairly
by their race in Kentucky. This action Of
the colored people of Covington is signif-
cant for two reasons. First, that although
the father of the President lives at Gov
lngton, and has dispensed the patronage of
the government at that point, he has not
been able to control the votes of the olOred
Republicans of that city; and, secondly,
that the colored people are not as unanim-
ously in favor Of General Grants renomi-
nation as they are said to be. Federal Off
GERS, when they attempt to override the par
ty, generally destroy both themselves and
their friends, for there is principal in
human nature that makes men revolt from
being dictated to by those who are not
cognizant Of their local wants and in
terests. The Customhouse influence in

When the reporter Of the Times asked
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback if the
people of Louisiana could get along just
az well without the carpet-baggers as with
them, he hardly expected the answer that
he got. Governor Pinchback replied that
he did not believe the people could afford
to dispense with the carpet-baggers as yet,
for they might have to do without the pro-
prietor of the Times in that event, and
then there would be an end of the inter-
viewing business. The Times ought to let
the carpet-bagging business alone.

Our calico contemporary discourses in
this wise
The utter inadequacy of the Radical organ
to get before impartial and intelligent
people any vindication of the acts of it's
leaders is made evident by the alacrity
with which those gentlemen avail them
selves of the superior circulation of con-
sentative journal
True; but they never make the mistake
of selecting the Picayme At five cents
copy even, that concern is wholly made
quate to the requisite circulation, and is
not medium through which impartial
and intelligent people obtain their news.

WHICH rs WHICH

1t must be confessed our contemporaries
Of the Picaylne and Times leave the
community in considerable doubt as to
the precise political position they occupy.
They both claim to be reformers. This
we can understand, since they both point
out the same abuses to be corrected. But
they differ as to the means.
The P;cayune is opposed to the present
State administration, but is undeniably
in favor of the federal administration.
Indeed the National Republican,, the
mouth piece of the Customhouse Repub-
icans, indorses our calico contemporary
as reliable Grant organ. 1t is, therefore,
a legitimate inference that, so far as Gov
ernor Warmoth and General Grant have
run counter to each other, the Picayune
objects to the Governor; but, were these
objections removed, on the Picay,tne's
own showing, it could see no difficulty in
sustaining our State executive. The
Picayune's opposition to the Governor is,
therefore, inferential, and not radical. If
the State and federal administrations
patch up a peace and act together in
harmony, we may rely on the support of
the peoples organ" in the approaching
canvass. To do otherwise would be to
talsify the Picaytne's own record 1t
avows its Partially for Grant, and is only
n fhncn oa{ o% fho
which puts him in hostility with the
President
So far we understand the position of the
Picayune, but how about the 7inses9 1t is
a reformer too; but not of the Grant
school 1t is opposed to Grant, but is
willing to use Grants followers to carry
for the Democrats the State and municipal
elections. Notwithstanding the Times is
controlled by Republican Influenza
Grant Republican influence too-it is de-
cidedly partial to coalition which gives
he Democrats all the offices. 1t don't like |
he Governor on any terms, but it does
ike Messrs. Casey, Packard and their COM
patriot Of the arbitrary" nomenclature,
J. Henri Burch.
Now, occupying respectively these arbi-
rary positions, the question recurs what
lind of reformers are the Picayu1,e and
lnaes9 We confess our inability to answer
he question, unless, indeed, they are both
oohing around to see upon which side of
he fence to fall. In that case we must
compliment them as discreet and saga
ious journals, but as unsafe and unrelia-
lie guides.
Reformers should have something
pecifc to stand on. Bare opposition is
ot what the people want. There is too
auch intelligence among the voters of the
tate for them to be hoodwinked by these
ague and indefinite generalties
