Protest ana Policy of Colorcd Leaders in
New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. "a, 1872.


We, the undersigned colored men
whose names were published on the list
Of Vice Presidents Of the meeting called
by the committee Of Fifty-one, and held
on Saturday night, February 18th, 1872,
in Lafayette Square, submit the fol-
lowing reasons for our dissent from en-
dorsing the object Of said meeting,
namely, the formation of q new party.
While we favor reform, we believe
that it can only be accomplished by
and through that wing of the Rcpub-
lican party pledged to reform. AS col
Ored men, we cannot ALLEVIATE our ALE
glance to the Republican party to
which we owe, thus far, all of our pres
ent civil and political rights; and all
other immunities that are yet to be
had can, in our opinion, come only
through the Republican party.
We win further state that if from ne
ccssity we were to affiliate with Il new
party, we could not join this projected
party, because it is to be recognized
under the auspices of an address that,
while recognizing the rights of the col
ored man as guaranteed by the COnsti-
tuition of the United States and the
amendment thereto, does not say a
word about the same rights as guaran-
teed by the Constitution Of the State Of
Louisiana for it is we'll known that,
while our public 2orir1eges are fully
recognized by the State Constitution
and the laws in conformity thereto, the
National Constitution and laws are not
as explicit, and consequently the con-
cession Of any immunities under the
latter, not as extensive as those under
the former, cannot fully satisfy the de-
mandS of the cOlOred people.
III -, Lo Of "a
meeting in Lafayette Square is signi-
ficant, and induces the belief that the
new party does not intend to put the
colored man in the full enjoyment Of
his citizenship. For this reason, and it
is an absolute one, once more we must
decline any utilization. While labor
ing for reform Of the abuses now OPP
pressing all classes ofcitizens, we ask at
the same time that all classes who arc
animated with senseless and ridicu-
lOus prejudice on account of color to-
wards any other class, reform them
selves of the same to the end that q
happy and mutual understanding may
result. Finally, we sincerely ask the
cooperation Of each and every citizen
DESTROYS Of saving our State from mis-
rule, and insuring 4 good government
founded upon the affections of white
and black. In SO doing they shall have
the merit Of having aided to redeem
Louisiana, and at the same time they
will be in a position to enjoy the conf
dcncc OF the Republican masses for
places of trust and honor.
These are our individual reasons for
dissenting from the projected party.

n recent Washington dispatch says
it is understood from authentic sources
that the President fully approves the
course of the Republicans in their Of
forts to reform the administration of
affairs Of State government in Louisia-
ma, and sympathizcs with and will aid
the party and people in every proper
way to secure Il fair election in Noven-

that the President expects to stand by

A Snake Story.

Tho Weekly Western Star, Le.
banon, o., tells the following pretty
tough story:
For many years two batrachian
reptiles Of the genus bnJo uut9aris,
or, in other words, two large gray
toads have made the garden Of Mr..
Ritohey their habitation, where they
made themselves generally useful
by destroying noxious iusccts.
They lave become in tho fullest
sense domesticated, and Mr.. RIchey
tacetlousiy calls tnem his pets.
Some days ago one Of them was no.
ticed 10 approach the house and
take a position near the dour, evil
IDENTIFY terrified. Tho reason soon
became manifest. His toadship had
scarcely quoted himself before Il
large bIacksnake between three and
four feet In lougth came slowly up,
and after getting within suitable
distance tor its purpose, stopped
and began to Greet its head. When
halt it's body WAS erected, it cont
menced to draw nigh the toad by
.mperccptib!e degrees, all the time
exertiug tho fascination of it's eyes
on its intended victim. Mr.. r says
tho toad was charmed; and that it's
minutes were numbered unless an
effort was made to destroy tie char
mcr. Seiziug tho hoe, ho boldly
approached tho snake, which, in.
stead of running, transferred ite' at
,unlion to him, and for moment
Mr. II. realized what it was to bo
under tho influence cfa serrent's
eye. Tho attempt TO charm him,
however, was tu lie, and, getL:ng
within striking distance, he gave
vigorous blow and missed his aim.
Tho snake ncvor moved, but stood
with half length perfectly erect.
The next blow WAS unerring, and it
severed tho body midway between
the head aud the ground, the part
I to which tho head was attached fali-
ing whilc the ether part remained
in the attitude it was in before the
blow was given. 1t was now Mr..
RS turn to stand aghast. But PRO.
sently recovering himself be push ed
! it with the hoe, and it fell over like
stick or any piece of wood. The
spell now being broken, the toad
was relieved, wheredpoa it made
ono tremendous bound of fully ht-
teen feet against the house, and re.
bounding fell upon tho walk, where
il hay qaivering and painting.

The largest and Oldest orange
tree in this State is on the old Pen
niston plantation, on tho Bayou
Beuf, which place now belongs to
Mr.. DeIucky. 1t was planted moro
than fnrty years ago, on ground
above overflow. 1t measures six
feet three inches in circumference,
is still strong and vigorous, and
now has on it between three and
four thousand oranges. So says
the New Iberia Sugar Planter.
The writer of these lines remem-
bers very we'll TO have seen plenty
Of full-grown and abundantly pro-
ducing orange trees in 1884 on the
plantations on the road from Frank
lin to Opelousas, which would rem
der il doubtful If the tree in ques
ton be the oldest in the State.
On showing the above to broth
or editor he states that on the old
Moore place. in Jefferson parish,
there srs orange trees that were
planted seventy years ago so he
had learned from one Of the Moore
family, whose ancestor planted the
troes.--N O. Picdyfne.

BITTEN BY A RATTLE-sNAKE-A
Boys EXPERIENCE Master Viii
liam Stanton, q lad about nine
years of age. says tho Uniontown,
PA } Standard, whose parents re-
sido in Whorton township, was bit.
ten by u rattlesnake, and had u
most miraculous escape from death.
He was in field a short distance
from home, aud when crossing the
fence the serpent struck him us he
leaped to the ground, and his blood
being heated, the poison moved
with such CELEBRITY that in five. min
utcs thereafter he began to vomit
aud purge blood. Immediately the
foot began to swell. and, turning
black, burst open in seven or eight
places, from which the blood oozed
out continuously The blood seem
ed to stagnute throughout his whole
system and settle in spots alf over
his body. This continued for a few
hours, when spasms set in, after
one of which he seemed to be dead.
The friends closed his eyes and
arranged his limbs preparatory to
lying out the body; but before this
could completed they discovered
signs of life and sent for doctor
The next day DR. Boyd was sum-
monad and visited the patient
He found him pulseless at the wrist
and swelling and blackness cxteud-
ing nearly to the body on the affect
ed limb and blood still dripping
from his foot, whilst vomiting con-
tinued at every attempt to RAISE his
head. Tho doctor succeeded in ar.
resting the course of the gangrener
and we learn that the patient il
convalescent, and with tho aid oi
crutches is going about.
