TWO SIDES TOT.

One Of the great misfortune
which some men entail on them
selves is, they imagine that their re
presentation of an affair is all tina
is necessary to settle q dispute ant
dispose satisfactorily Of every moo
point. Thus, when the charge O
coercion" corruption" and "pur
chase of votes is made against The
Customhousc officials in forcing thu
recent nominations, no less a per-
sonage than MI. G. F.. Ladd mounts
tho stand and volunteers his testi.
mony to quiet MI cavil. But his
zeal outruns his discretion. He IN
dertakes without authority to speak
for others, and not even the pro
verbal good nature of "Jerry A.
Hall" could brook such an assump-
ton, and so this gentleman protests
in a card against Mr.. Ladd's speak
for him.
Joking apart, it occurs to us that
Mr.. Ladd either knows too much OF
the ballots cast, or he pretends to
know too little of the pressure borne
against Customhouse employees to
prevent them from voting the Bill
lings ticket. MI. Ladd, who was
Mr.. Billings chief manager in the
canvass, knous that if every thing
had been equal his nominee would
have been successful, and it reflects
no credit on MI. Ladd now that his
has been defeated, to de-
the course pursued to beat
him, when no one more loudly OPP
moro openly rebuked, and
Indignantly inveighed against the
"tricks that were dark" than Mr..
himself in the Convention?

ORGANIZED FOR A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
Since the adjournment of the Re
publican Convention, to meet or
Monday, Ausust 8, the State Gen.
trail Executive Committee have gone
to work in dead earnest. The I'D.
dress and circular, which We pub.
lish elsewhere, are evidences Of tic
determination Of the legitimate
heads Of tho Republican party in
the State of Louisiana to point out
to deluded Republicans the error
Of their way in allying themselves
with a usurping and uuscrupulous
band of Customhouse officials, to
inform them of the purposes of the
regular Republican party, and to
advise them as to the best means to
effect such unity of action as will
not only overwhelm with defeat and
merited disgrace, those who by the
use of corrupt means, controlled
the nominations at Baton Rouge,
but insure tho free nomination in
August, and the election in Novem-
Der, of men who deserve to be
placed in the forefront as the heads.
of the several departments. To the
people in the parishes we say, be
led astray by no coaxing or threat
ening. You are on the eve Of the
most important State campaign
since reconstruction, and if you per-
NIT yourselves to be induced to fol-
low the Customhouse, they will lead
you where they are assuredlygo-
to an ignominious defeat.
AS you love freedom of thought
and action, rs you prize the right
to vote for whom you please, and
as you have seen how the Fcdorul
oAice-holders have disdained and
under foot those rights,
follow them. Turn your at-
tention to the Regular Republican
listen to it's counsels, weigh
we'll its advice, elect your addition
al delegates from your best and tru-
est men, and send them to the Con-
vention in August: trust such men
With your interests, and the Con-
vention will be enabled to offer
such a ticket as will command the
respect and support of the whole
of Louisiana.

THEaG1oRIous FOURTH OF JULY
Thnradastlast the ninety-sixth an
niversatyo of the Independence OF
the American Republic, all the
public Offices, State and national,
were closed for the day. Flags, en-
signs and banners decorated the
public buildings, consulates, prin-
ting establishments, water craft, and
various other places; indeed the
general appearance of things wore
the evident aspect of q holiday.
Pluvi,,s, who can't be o good Re-
following the worthless
Of the Customhouse folks),
was not, however, in harmony
with the arrangements for enjoy
and We have no doubt that
the cloudiness of the morning, in
creasing to darkness, thunder and
rain in the evening, spoiled many q
proprosal for frolic. Propriety and
comfort dictated Indoors" to all,
and thus beyond the ennobing and
patriotic reflections over the glories
won by. the sturdy patriots Of '96,
and the immense results accruing
to posterity, to civilization, human
and universal enlighten-
inent. which the "holiday' afforded,
there was not much sport way i'll it.

osOA eA0 0A6A"SuAo W
there appears in the National R'r"d'
Hcu", of July 4, what purperts tc
Ike q letter from a New Orleans cor
respondent of the st. Louis Demo-
cruk, in which Marshal Packard, and
the ticket he nominated at Baton
Rouge, are heavily whitewashed.
But the checklist, boldest and
most ludicrous of all that it contains
is the following paragraph on Sena'
tor Antoine:
For Lieutenant Governor, G. G.
Antoine is tho most popular colored
man, since the death of Dunn, in
the State, as his unanimous nomina-
indicates. He is a State Senator,
jet black, an able presiding officer,
and as honest as the day is long.
Last winter he slept, ate and drank
with the Democratic State Senators
on board the evidences" and re-
fused to sell out to the Warmoth
faction for $4,000, but lost large
sums by clinging to the Reform Re-
publicans."
We assert that the statement that
he (Antoine) refused to sell out to
the Warmoth faction for $4,000 is
IN unmitigated falsehood, and we
challenge this correspondent to
bring forward the proof.
Yes, he "slept, ate and drank with
tho Democratic State Senators on
board the Wilderness
Blinded by the delusive hope held
out to him by the Federal officers
here, that they would make him
Lieutenant Governor, or, worse,
bought up by Democratic and Gus
tomhouse money, under the pre-
text of opposing Governor War
moth, he joined the Democratic
Senators in their attempt to over
throw tho State Government and
put out of the Office of Lieutenant
Governor, a colored man, his per-
sonal and political friend and part
ner in business.
Such conduct as this the colored
people will never tolerate in ono of
their class, and this correspondent
and the Federal ofice-holders will
find that neither the name of Gen.
eral Grant, nor tho cry of regular
will DO powerful enough to
make the people vote for a ticket
with such material on it as this.

The meeting in Lafayettes square
last Thursday night was'vsry large
~ attended by one of the most pro-
miscuous crowds we l1avola lately seen.
and there is NO wonder that nothing
was said or done on the platform that
was not challenged or objected to by
someone or more, in the assemblage.
The principal speakers Messrs. Cor
ter, Wilson and Caldwell, who
fought their way through very
commercially and dealt deserved
blows at the usurping crowd in the
Customhouse, who even had their
employees in the crowd to disturb
the speakers and create confusion
The speeches made and resolutions
adopted on the occasion embody the
views and feelings of the getters up
OF the meeting, and they denounce
tho conduct of S. y. Packard & Co.,
in forcing, by corrupt meanr, the
nomination of q ticket on the Con
vention. And repudiating this con-
duct, cut themselves loose from all
further association with the Custom
house party.
The loss of such men to this crowd
will be severely felt. and from the
knowledge which they possess of the
plans, purposes and policy Of the
Packardites, they are likely to prove
formidable antagonists in whatever
party they take their place. From
their former conduct and surround
ings it is fair to irfer that they will

the date Of it's approval, which will
be the Goth of July. This bill pro-
vides that keepers of restaurants,

shall place in q conspicuous place
the price list of the articles they
lave. for sale. This provision is
made in order that those who think
to deter colored people from apply
ing for refreshments by exhorbitant
charges after they have been ser7ed,
may be prevented from SO over
charging. Any refusal to wait upon
any well-behaved and respectable
person is met by a fine Of one hum
dred dollars and a forfeiture of
license for ono year.
We have been informed that on
Sunday last several apothecaries
took especial pains to insult colored
lailics and gentlemen applying for
soda water. In one instance a
couple of colored ladies were driven
out of a store amid the jeers and
insulting remarks Of white gentle
men ~ who undoubtedly imagined
that they were enacting q manly
part. One a~pothecary informed a
colored gentleman that after the
goth of July he should place at his
fountain black glasses for colorcd
people, and white glasses for white
people, thus showing his solo object
to be to insult oolored people in
obedience to his diabolical spirit of
hate and prejudice.
Has not the time arrived when
these foolish prejudices of oppres-
sion should cease to control in a
government where oil classes partic-
ipate in governing, where the black
