OUR COLORED POPULATION.

The natural effect OF conflict like that
which has Just taken place in Grant par
ish is to infame that hostility of race
which, in spite of all that has been said to
the contrary. must necessarily exist i'll a
community where slavery, based on such
distinctions, has so recently prevailed. It
is true that nov. -:,.ce slavery is utterly
dom. aHav VIII. i- i'll freiiny which it
could net hut cugvIi-r, having no more
food UPON which to live. ought to die; and
undoubtedly would gradually DO 50 DID
nothing occur to fan it into treshened life.
The negroes are naturally mild and plaza
ble Under the encouraging and elevat-
ing influence of freedom and equal laws,
they would soon cease to remember the
years of wrong under which they formerly
groaned. They are also reasonable and
grateful, and they know that if one class
of white men We're formerly their oppres-
sors, to another class of white men they
owe their liberty and the civil and political
privileges which they now enjoy. If the
former slaves might thus in the course CT
time forget the wrongs they suffered from
slavery. so likewise might the former mas
tiers forget the loss they suffered from eInan-
cipatiou. Ire sooner each class takes this
wise part the better. In the meanwhile. it
will not do for the more cultivated race to
seek to interfere with the natural work
ings of the new order Of things; 1t will
not do for them to attempt to intlmldate
the colored population from the exercise
of their rights by a resort to bloodshed.
There are parts of the State where the
negroes largely outnumbar the whites. A
spirit of retaliation on the part OF the
preponderating class in such localities
would soon purge our State into con
ditiuu tao dreadtal to contemplate; ana
the only hope Of peace left, the armed IN
terposition Of tae genera! government, is

since. however unfavorab1e may be the
opinion in regard to General Grant. other
sections of the country 1--WE and thrive
under his administration. The imports
Of New York are greater this year than
ever. and St Louis boasts an unexampled
progress in business and population. The
prosperity of our city requires that we
should cultivate foreign commerce and
domestic industry. The federal govern
ment may do much in our aid by the eX-
ercise of its legitimate influence in favor
OF the reparation Of our ieyees and i'm
proVement of our outlet by steam lines to
other ports and increased facilities of COM
mercial intercourse. Our railroads should
tap the rival systems which seek to super
sede New Orleans. From this improved
intercourse at home and abroad would re-
suit an improved demand for all those
commodities, of which New Orleans has
almost monopoly, especially Of the
merchandise Of southern Europe and Of
the tropics. If We suppose these facilities.
then we might anticipate the concourse Of
merchants and travellers who would resort
to our city from the countries south of
US, for New Orleans is their natural mar
ket and is On their nearest way TO any
point in the United States or in Europe.
These visitors in summer. as well as in
winter, would resort here for their fancy
goods and fashions: they would order all
articles of iron or wood manufactured
by st. Louis. Chicago and Cincinnati.
They would consign their crops OF su-
gar and coffee. and their cargoes of furni-
ture and other woods to our merchants.
From New Orleans would be exported 20
Europe by our splendid lines of steamers
all the productions of the western shores
of the Gulf. Then would come q con-
slant stream OF visitors to fill our
churches, sch ools and hotels, to employ
the taste of the modiste. reward
the resources of the restaura' eur, or
to purchase the diamonds of the jeweller.
With this development. Of trade-with
this concourse of strangers come
the means to main tain the lyric
drama. To effect this two things
are alone necessary political pacifcation
and harmony Of enterprise. Let these be
once determined on, and among the most
pleasing and attractive consequences will
be the revival. endowment and support
of an institution peculiar to New Orleans.

TOO MUCH DEFINITION.

4 scribbling correspondent Of the FioG-
yme signs his communication "A Work
ing Nan, Dat a Good Citizen" This
indicates that the writer thinks there is
something incompatible in the two des-
ignations. and he enters his plea to be
recognized as good citizen. even though
he be working man. Now our belief in
the matter is that he is neither. For if
he be really working man, he does not
need to write himself good citizen, and
no honest working man would ever think
of using the qualifying but" in such
