INFORMATION FOB TIE PICAYUNE.

Since the Picayune has but lately dis
covered that the negro is a power i'll the
State, will it allow us to astonish it still
further with the information that the negro
always was power in Louisiana. Before
the war he was the basis of our wealth; to-
day he is political arbiter Without
losing his original character asa producer,
he has acquired the force of director OF
public events. He is a part CT society,
bearing the burdens and enjoying the
honors of the public in common with the
two hundred and fifty editors Of the Picd-
ptne. While he was a slave the power
that was in him was controlled and util-
lied by the white element. Then we
heard no complaints. against him as
heather and an incubus upon the pros
perity of the country His complaints were
considered incendiary and his demand tor
Justice was Knocked at. He suffered them
as much as he does now. but his voice
was drowned in that of his master. To
dav he is still producer, spending his
labor to create wealth that enriches the
State. but to this character he has added
another quality, that Of being his own
spokesman. His voice is as free as the
freest, his choice as wide as the widest
Instead of being directed, he directs; III
stead. of being commanded III his hbors,
be commands his own efforts. The State
has lost chattel and gained freeman.
The people have secured bulwark IN the
man who who was once dreaded as an
enemy. The only loser is the man who
has lost the right to call fellow-man his
slave. 1t will 60 hard with the Picdyeo'e
to swallow this wholesale dose of informa-
ton, but we have duty to perform in
letting it know these things, and we al
ways do our duty. And what is more to
the point, the ugly Republicans were the
willing workers who wrought this change.

be made and impossible to be redeemed.
It shut it's eyes to their steady fultillmenr'
and only now awakes to discover that
every one of them is living fact. And
what does it do? With the same unmitl-
gated stupidity that characterized it when
it defed our ability to do these things, 1t
now turns about and says that we have
cheated the very people who are enjoying
the fruits Of the revolution which the Re
publicans pledged themselves to effect
Was there ever palmer piece of nonsense
uttered in the ear of the public: It will
have to eject every negro from Office, turn
them away from the polls, refuse them the
right to be considered as citizens. before it
can support its charge. Would it effect
counter revolution, it is the height Of folly
for the Picayme to tell the negroes that
they have been cheated by the present Re
publican government of Louisiana, for
they have the evidence in their possession
to prove that they have been given al that
was promised them.
As to the evils of taxation and the cor
ruption that has defiled the politics Of the
day, the Picayso,e may look among its
own friends for the perpetrators Of these
wrongs The Republicans had enough to
do to redeem their promises in the inter-
est of freedom without watching the spec
ulations that were set on foot by the
Democrats. While a fire RACES the pro-
prietor turns his attention to that, and
not to the petty thieves who are stealing
his chickens The flames subdued, he
catches the rascals in his hen-coop. If
the Picnyatne had assisted US i'll sustaining
the liberty of the citizens we might have
had more time to watch the corruption
lists. Being left alone, we attended to the
greatest duty first, and we are now pre-
pared to attend with the same energy to
the smaller duties. The State is in safe
hands. 1t has forced the few to respect
the individual rights of the many; now it
will turn its attention to looking after the
interests of the few. Liberty being guar
anteed, property must next be protected.
And the same party that enforced the one
is amply capable of securing the other.
And since the Picayule has been blind so
long, and now only receives its sight to
abuse it, We do not know but that the
best thing that can happen to it is to re-
lapse into its former condition. Prejudice
is its life; what destroys its prejudice de-
strovs its life.

THE CONVENTION TO-DAY.

The representative colored men of the
United States will assemble to-day at the
Mechanics Institute, for counsel and de-
liberation upon the best means Of pro-
noting the welfare of their race-moraily,
socially and politically. The latter con-
sideration it was not originally intended
should be taken up, but we learn from
delegates that it is the intention Of some
OF the supporters of the national admins
tration to force from the convention al in
dorsement Of the President if possible.
That the convention viii be a dignitied
and intellectual body We are already en-
abled to decide, and there are indications
that our citizens generally will take a
more than an ordinary interest in its ses-
sions. It is probable that, owing to the
non-arrival Of several delegations En- route,
very little business will he transacted
to-day.
Last year an effort was made to hold
Southern States convention of colored
men in Columbia, South Carolina, for
a similar purpose, and it was only partial
success. because it was considered Sec
tional; and was unfortunately called to meet
at a time when important political can
vases were going on in some Of the
Southern States. The convention of colored
lima, on the eighteenth day of October last,
and organized by electing the bon. MoAzo
J. Ransier to preside over its delibera-
tons. In consequence Of want Of
unanimity among the colored men on that
occasion, the convention wisely deter
mined to defer the consideration Of those
subjects for which it had been convened
until national convention could be held,
and larger representation of col5red
men obtained. For this purpose the
Southern States convention passed reso-
lutions authorizing its president to call
national convention, to be held in New
Orleans commencing to-day, and determin-
shall be two members from each State or
Territory at large one for each twenty
thousand colored voters, and one for
each fractional part over ten thousand, to
be elected as the State may determine.
That call was published first on the twenty
second OF January last, signed by Aonzo
j. Ransier president of the Southern
States convention Of colored men, and
was published III the different States of
the Union.
The convention Will undoubtedly be
largely attended, and will embrace some
of the ablest representatives Of TIE colorcd

A Liverpool paper says that TO gauge the
extent to which drunkenness exists in Eng
land is almost an impossible task. One Of
its most repulsive features is the rapid
growth of drinking habits among females
and young persons of both sexes. The
multiplied facilities for obtaining drink are
also STARTLING
