When misfortune comes to the slothful
Christian, instead Of receiving it as Gods
invitation to trust and exertion (which should
always go together,) he despairs and blames
his bad luck. lie wonders when the tide
will turn, and spends more time in enyying
his neighbors than in helping himself His
waiting is not trustfulness, but simply spir-
itual laziness, as far removed from faith as
love from sel6shness.

GOLD AND DROss.

A gray cold sky hung over the old town
and the snow was falling, not swiftly and mcr.
rily, but slowly and mingled with mist-like,
fearful rain, as if it bewaied its own fate in
falling on those dark, muddy streets and damp
sidewalks. There we're few people out--no
pleasure-seckers or y.dressed promenaders
on such a day aud Marion Graham, sitting in
her sisters parlor, turned her listless gaze
from the window with little sigh Of weari-
ness, and drew her chair still nearer to the
cheerful, open fire in the low CRATE. What
ever the prospect might be without, it was
very cheerful within. Bright roses looked out
from the mossy green Of the carpet and sunny
pictures cleaned on tho wall The chairs
and lounges were temptingly cosy and com.
Portable, aud scarlet aud white goraniums,
with beautiful, delicate ferns, were grouped at
the window.
Opposite Marion sat her sister, Mrs. Will

the crimson merino she was fashioning into a
dress for little Miss Mamie, aud eyes wander.

where the child was amusing herself.
"Oh, dear what day It's - said Marion
" that steady drip, drip from every house cor
ner makes me nervous. 1t sounds like some
monotonous funeral march and as for that
gray sky, it really doesn't look as il the SUI
ever could shine through it again"
Mrs. Wimot glanced over the street wher
the houses showed dim through the mist, aot
I the lcafess trees tremblod in the cold anC

PINCERACX VS., WALKER,

By happy chance, Lieutenant Cover
| nor Pinchback Was enabled to make his
personal explanation in regard to the
''heavy swearing" done against him before
the congressional committee, in the pres
ence of the honorable gentlemen them
selves, they visiting the Senate while Mr..
Pinchback was on the floor. That he most
favorably impressed the congressional visi-
tors, both as to his ability and honest devo-
ton to the Republican party, is not left to
conjecture; and that he convinced them,
too, of the cordial support rendered
to the State administration by the greater
and better portion Of the coloredpeople Of
Louisiana, is also fact.
We much regret, however, that he did
not more fully elucidate his relations and
associations with Judge Alexander Walker,
of our virtuous contemporary the Times.
Here was an opportunity to expose fair
sample of the evidence given to the test of
sincerity and consistency. We admit the
witness under discussion is ''blatant
Democrat" and that bis Outrageous
statements were made for political cap
ital;' but without more explicit definition
how were the gentlemen from Washington
to be convinced these accusations are true.
The Lieutenant Governor should have ex-
planned that at about the very date Judge
Walker swears his belief that he pinch
back was San infamous character" this
same Judge Walker and this identical ''in-
famousIcharacter" sat costly side by side
at an excursion party, ate and drank at
the same table in utmost amity and with
mutual admiration Of each others good
qualities, and that the jolly Judge appar-
emily considered it no disgrace to stroll,
linked arms, up Canal street with and
drink at the .uais01 Blanche at the ex-
pense Of the infamous Pinchback
When q mans preaching and practice con-
form. he is entitled to some consideration,
and it is due the congressional committee,
who wanted to be Just and honest that
this little discrepancy in the Judge should
be made manifest.
We are glad the Lieutenant Governor
expressed publicly what We before knew to
be his intention, Of soon going before the
people Of the entire State to defend not
only his own conduct, but that of the party
in which he takes so marked a place, from
the unjust accusations Of both their nat
ural Democratic foes and of the traitor
Republicans who have joined them.

MORE WORK AND LESS TALK.

If the negroes of tie South produced
commodities valued at two hundred mill
ions Of dollars last year. what would be
our wealth and capacity if tie entire popu-
lation had produced wealth in the same
proportion? Assuming with the Picayu71e
that the white people Outnumber the col
ored as two to one, il is easy to figure up
that cur total product ought to have been
six hundred millions Of dollars, provided
both classes had worked as faithfully as
the Picayme afirms that the negroes Ia
bored. This is both lesson and a lecture.
1t teaches us that the class which has been
the least respected has been the most in
dustrious and productive: and it lectures
US that the class which has been the most
noisy and respectful has done the least to
improve the condition Of the community
whose fortunes it made such incessant
complaints about. The conclusion to be
deduced from the fact and the argument
is this, that if the class that makes the
move will only work as well as the class
that has done the work, We shall be blessed
with great improvement hereafter. This
improvement will reduce the amount of
impudent political slang that is uttered,
and it will increase the solid wealth of the
country. What the effect Of diminishing
the slang will be or the P;caW0e we will
leave to time to discover.

in very mild way, at the introduction of
the barbarians, but she kicks up a devil of
a shindy when the barbarians are to be
taken away from her. The men who were
conscripted into the work of civilizing the
barbarians from Africa became so enam-
ored Of the business ultimately that, when
the world requested them to return their
pupils, they protested and fought against
the suggestion. Their coquettish remon-
STRANGE against slavery was somewhat I'M
masked when they made war to sustain it.
Such selfshness as this shows one thing,
at least, that if the South was not in earnest
when she demonstrated against slavery,
she certainly was VIXEN she objected to
surrendering it; aud that if she is out of
this selfish world she has strange streak
of worldly selfshness in her composition
The Rev. Mr.. Tudor, Of the Carondelet
Street Methodist Church, will take notice
Of the singular mention the Picaprne has
made of the position of the South.

POSTHUMOUS FAME.

Oscar J. Dunn is greater man than
Homer was in his day, for while only
thirteen cities contended for the honor of
giving birth to the blind poet that had
begged his bread through their streets,
all the cities, plains and mountains Of the
South participate in the fame Of having
bred, nursed and nourished the late Lieu
tenant Governor. This is the deliberate
and religious opinion of the Picagl0e
It said so solemnly on Sunday. Stopping
over in its gushing condescension toward
the prodigy whom it had constantly re-
| fused to acknowledge as a citizen while
| living, the Picnyouae proceeds to build q
wordy monument to the dead and gone
officer at tie expense Of all its former
opinions concerning his race and their
capacity for self-governnent. Dunn,
says the Picaytne, "was a type Of the
African. He was an intelligent Christian,
and his death was public mis-
fortune As We have no quarrel
to make with these propositions.
it is pertinent to enquire why these affirm
alive propositions were not made three
years ago? If Mr.. Dunn was IAN intelli-
gent Christian" whose death would be
mourned as a public calamity, why are
not all the Africans, of whom he was but
the type, admitted as Intelligent Chris
tians," entitled to some respect before
their death ''becomes public calamity?'
Are the millions Of colored people to be
gushed over only after they are dead and
buried? Is this sloppy sentimentality to
be united in the graveyard while its re-
cipients are left to contend with prejudice
| and SANDER in the flesh? Are the barbara
ans that have been advanced by American
civilization to be fac SMILES of Mr.. Dunn,
to be paid entirely in posthumous pane
gyrics, or are they to be rewarded as intel
igent Christians should be, with the same
respect that other men are; or does the
P;cay,Dae intend to say that after a century
of time and the enslavement of millions Of
people, success crowned the efforts OF
civilization in the production of Oscar J.
Dunn, and nothing else? That the
Picayune, as the organ Of civilization,
discovered the residum only after the Ia
mented Dunn had been dead three
months. And that all the slop about this
type of that African barbarism that had
been elevated by the process of ciyiliza-
ton" was mere leather and prunella. VIII
the Picayt,le gush in answer to these
SUGGESTIONS?

ASTONISHING ADVENTURES.

Everything would have been lovely IN
the South after the abolition of slavery
but for the presence Of few needy adven-
turers from the North, poor in purse, des-
titute Of character at home, and without
standing anywhere, who got hold Of the
negroes by the nose and pulled them about
in the most extraordinary manner. The
Picayane says so, solemnly and religiously,
choosing the Sabbath as the most proper
time to utter this prophylatric against the
evils which it explains These needy adj
venturers who thus abused the negroes
carried their wickedness to such lengths
that they even Influenced the Oldest and
offices and fill their pockets with the
fullest things to be found in the State.
And what was still worse, they seduced
these old and respectable citizens into
practices that were hitherto unknown to
themselves or to the community. Docile
negroes Innocent old cts Wonderful
Adventures Here is a tableaux to excite
our astonishment We of the South
were happy family before these carpet
baggers came among us to revolutionlze
our kindness towards the negroes, which
allowed them to sweat and toll for us
from the first day of January to the
thirty-irst day of December, on two suits
of clothes and regular rations of hog and
hominy. We had no contentious then.
None of us wanted Office or would consent
to accept thereof except after earnest per-
suasion. Factions riots, known-nothing-
ism, political rings, jobbing Legislation,
and such things, were unknown to our
people, and every individual man lived on
the sweat of his own brow-if he did not
have a ''nigger" to sweat for him. The
needy adventures changed this Aca-
dian situation into the present unhappy
condition of affairs, and in return charged
and received the services OF the negroes and
the favors of the ''oldest and best for their
work of decentralization. And the Picayure
is unhappy thereat. 1t even demands the
expulsion of the adventures, the abase-
ment of the colored citizens, and the
restoration of that primitive simplicity
which limited citizenship to few and
made the many subservient and profitable
to the few. Will the wonderful adyen-
turers insist on remaining where they are
will the docile negroes surrender their
leaders-will the respectable citizens give
up their seducers-or shall the PicGy,tne
have its will? Shall the country retreat
or advance? These are the questions?
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-02-13
THE WORLD AND The SOUTH

According to the Picaynne 'fhe world
forced slavery upon the South, and re-
ceived back millions Of skillful field hands.
This is a new view to take Of the question.
The South is not in the world, but is q
sort OF Botany Bay, or other experimental
locality, into which barbarians from Africa
are deported to be constructed into skillful
field hands. She may and does protest
against this antagonism, but the tyranni-
cal world insists upon turning her into q
reformatory institution for the instruction
and civilizing of barbarians. Hanging to
the world by the eyelids, suspended from
the periphery Of the universe by the heels
Or hair, the integlment that connects her
with the balance Of mankind is used as a
sort Of bridge over which hordes of igno-
rant Africans are banished in order to
their reintroduction to the world as skillful
field hands. This is the new Genesis in
vented by the Picaysne.
The South does not demonstrate, except
