Ed. BossIER BANNER~Dear

Ed. BossIER BANNER-De
Sir: There is surely something
the matter with your contribuI
tor, "Anti-Grant, as his full
limitations in your issue of last
week gives sad evidences of
mental arrangement. The IN
happy comparison of Lis friend,
Gov. Warmoth, and La Fitte
is particularly hard OH the
guilty old pirate. Then the bal
ance of the article is an incon-
sistent mass of Pickering
fancies, jumbled together in a
bewildering confusion that has
not been equaled by anything
emanating from a mad-hOuse
in the last century. Then that
he should imagine that he had
got off a Revolutionary docu-
ment, and attempt to shirk the
responsibility by skulking be-
hind a fictitious name, is con-
elusive evidence of his condi-
ton.
Your readers should not be
inflicted with such befuddling
publications in this hot wealth
ct, as it might cause brain few
er and Mysteries to prevail
among them.
"Anti-Grant" is a fit subject
for the exercise of orr sympa-
thies and humanity, but the
community has rights that can
not be ignored for the sake OF
humoring his whims and weak
ness.
Yours Respectfully,
L. w. BAKER.

The BALTIMoREAN.-This is
the title of an extremely hand
some new weekly, published every
Saturday, in Baltimore. Subscrip-
ton price $500 per anuum. Five
subscribers, aud one to person
obtaining said subscribers, $3.50.
Valuably premium for each sub
scriber obtained. The "Balti-
morean" supports Greeley and
Brown. 1t is really as vigorous.
valuable and versatile a weekly as
is published anywhere in this
broad country.

The n. o. National Repub
lican is respectfully informed
that the BosSier Banner is not
now a parish printing organ"
10y virtue of any appointments.
We did have the contract for
the parish printing for "a short
willie, but the contract WAS re-
voked by Warmnth and Pinch
back last December. The con
tract was signed by Dunn and
Carter, and we received it ONLY
on account of orr known OBJ
position to Gov. Warmoth.
The Banner is an independ-
ent newspaper /; wears no col
lar, and asks no favors from
State officers, cliques or parties.
We appeal to a higher tribu-
nal-the people.

the Liberals and Democrat
here would prevent the distinc
ton of black and white in pol
itics in a great measure, we
think can be easily proven.
These Liberals in Louisiana
have heretofore held a great
influence with the blacks, and
it is reasonable to think that
they have not altogether lost
it. There are educated colored
men here, Liberals from senti-
ment, uninhuenced by carpet
baggers, of whom we may cite
]. Sella Martin. These can
have great influence, backed
as they are by Sumner, the
great advocate Of the colored
race. The Democrats have
had a following among the col
ored. Add these influences TO-
lIgether and it will be found that
a large share of the colored,
will assist the Liberal move
mont. One of the main designs
of the movement is to take the
question out of politics, by
confirming to the blacks all
the privileges they have &C,
quired.
When there is no reason
why the blacks, as such
should select one party rather
than another, and when they
do really about equally divide
themselves between the two
national parties, we can safely
say the question of color is out
of politics. And Warmoth, as
a Liberal, has aided TO take il
out, whatever may have beer
his sentiments a year ago.

LIBERAL.


The State of Michigan is en-
titled to the credit of having
taken the lead in Legislation
against accidental murder.
In that State The pointing of a
tirearm, loaded or unloaded,
I'll feilow-citiZen is adjudged
"A nisdemeanor, punishable by
fine and imprisonment, and if
damage comes of such crimi-
nal folly, the pepetrltor is held
responsible, pecuniary and
criminally. Other States would
do well to pass a similar law.
If every man who points gun
or pistol at a fellow-beiny
were sent 10 prison for six
months, it woull probably
have Salniilry effect in stop
ping tile practice.

One of Nast's charicatures
in Harper's Weekly represents
old Horace as being married
to dying Democracy by an
Irish Catholic priest. 1t can
only serve with the generality
to provoke a smile, but with
the Catholic, who sees in it a
ridicule of his religion, it will
serve further to insence him,
and make him more certainly
vote against Grant. But we
suppose the GRANTEES have
lost all hopes of the Catholics,
anyhow.

Will You Do lt7


Ye men of Bossier! for years
the cry has come up, from
strong human hearts, and from
the wrecked hope of many a
Southern home-"What shall
we do he saved 7" but then
came back no answering cry,
until there came borne on the
breeze from the Queen City of
the West a voice that charmed
the ear, and sOothed the fever
ed pulse of the Southern heart;
it gathered volume as it went
until it hung for a brief space
over the Monumental City, un-
til on the memorable 9th of
July, 1872, it was swallowed up
in a stronger, deeper voice,
that startled the echoes all over
this broad land, and made the
belShaZzer of Ralicalism trem-
BILE at the "hand writing on the
WALL" and thus il spoke-'lay
your preiudiceS on the altar Of
country; aud speak to the peo-
pie of Israel that they go for
ward and possess the land; and
messages of peace and fratern-
ity, shall emanate from the
Capitol of the Nation after the
4th of March, 1873" What
more do we want2 We want

The State Register pointed
says: "Messrs. Lasere and
Randolph had better revise
their role. They are calling
men tn muster that do not re-
cogliize them as leaders" Ex-
actly so. The people have long
since repudiated these political
imposters, and had they any
sense of shame, they would
not fail to realize the fact.

The business of shipbuild-
ing in the United States is now
confined chiefly to the lakes.
While the shipyards ON the
Atlantic coast are in a lang
ulshing state, on the lakes
there is quite a lively business.
There are now abont 100 YES
sells in process of construction
at different points, a majority
of which are steamers of the
larger class.

Perhaps the most famous paper
in the West at present is the Lex

published every Saturday at Lex

The Caucasian is an enormous

ace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown.

eighty and white supremacy Its
motto is sNever Despair of the

The California orange trees
are some thing more than Or
naments. San Francisco re-
ceived last year from Los An
geles orchards 1,7S3,0O0 oran-
yes. This year the receipts
were 100000 up to the Goth
of June, and the supply pref
ty well exhausted. Besides
these there were 5O,000,0OO
received from South Sea
Islands and coasts ports south
of the Gulf of California. The
total receipts for the year to
date were about 100000,
and the average price $40 per
thousand, or four cents per
orange. That gives S360,0O0
for the crop market to- San
Francisco, and $4,000 is for
the Los Angeles share of it.

Sumner has at length come
out. in a letter to some colored
persons, favoring the election
of Greeley and advising the
colored men to vote for him.
Sumner has been long oppos-
ed to Grant, but feared to
advocate Greeley's election as
he was DESTROYS of seeing il
the Democrats were in earnest
IN giving up their oppoSitioG
to the reconstruction measures.
Having become satisfied of
this fact he earnestly advo-
Gates Greeley and Brown. No
intelligent black man can now
have any fears of the Liberals,
as Summer has ever been the
particular friend of. the col r.
ed race. Advocacy of their
equality of rights has all his
life been his guiding principle.

The sentiment that parties

Warmoth, for the last year or
two, has been endeavoring to
form white mans party OF
attempting to win over demo
Gratis on the plea that such
was his endeavor
That we have opposed car
pet bs.ggers, and violently too,
is certainly true. But now
that the carpet baggers have
split into too factions, it seems
to US foolish not to accept aid
from one of the factions to-
wards the attainment of an
end OF the greatest Importance.
The leaders of the Republican
party in this state have been
roughly styled carpet baggers
and scalawags. The Liberals
are rid Of half the carpet bag
gers and all the scalawags; to
succeed they must be leaven-
Ell from the old Democracy,
who will certainly convert the
whole mass into leaven. a
fusion between the National
Democracy and the Liberals
has taken place, and we be-
lieveitis approved by the Qua
chita Telegraph. We also have
approved it. Why should not
the same fusion take place in
this State Can the National
coalition take place without a
coalition also in the State p
Such a thing is impossible.
Without a coalition here as to
nominations for State officers,
can there be any concert of &C
ton as to who shall be voted
for as electors We cannot
conceive it to be possible. In
our estimation the biggest
thing is the Presidential cleo
ton, and the next biggest
thing is the election of Con.
gressmen. The Constitution

tees each State a Republican
form Of government. If. we
have a Republican govern.
ment for the United States
which we are assured of by the
election of Greeley and Brown
and Liberal Democratic Con
gressmen, then we could be as
sured that the guarantee of the
Constitution would be carried
into effect. Otherwise not.
In accepting Greeley and
Brown and going into the Lib
eral movement we have gone
counter to all our prejudice:
and antipathies, guided by on
judgment Of what was for tht
public good. Having done Sc
we must discard all minor con
siderations and use every eff
fort for the success OF the move
ment.

THE PRESIDENT AND Tue LOUISIANA CASE
washington Correspondence Baltimore
Sun.1-In addition to what has already beer
said as to the position Of the Administration
on tho Louisiana imbroglio il may be re
marked that the President, no matter what
his private opinion may be as to the merits
of the quarrel between the contendlng fac
tions, does not hold that he is taking sides
with one or the other. The election Ia"
leaves him no alternative but to instruct the
military commanders to respond to any de
mands made upon them by the officers Of
the United State courts in enforcing then
DEGREES.
Although it might be the fact that Judge
Durcll has committed great usurpation, the
new election law gives bis marshal thepowel
to call to his assistance the entire land and
naval force of the United States if such
should be deemed necessary. Therefore
whatever criticisms may apply IN this matter
as to the action of the Judge. they cannot
Justly reflect upon the President. Congress
which enacted the law, is really the respou.

now that they had no idea to what ends II

"THE END OF WARMoTH" is the New
York Times's heading to the latest news
from New Orleans. We believe the Times
is right. The prince of carpet-baggers is
about played out; but, then, it is notifying
to know thut the Federal troops are backing
up rascals that are only excelled by HENRY
CLAY WARMoTH in cunning, mott depravty.
Think of the rascal PINcHBAcK declining O
bride of $4,000, as is alleged in the telegram
of yesterday. He is not SO blindly adultcr.
ated as to be ignorant of the value Of real
money. If it be true that he did decline the
bribe it is the most noted instance Of virtue
In man indiGerently honest on record; and
until explained by the fact that he made more
by declining it the world will be entirely OBJ
fuscated.
