NOT CORRECT.

We dislike to spoil the Picayenes nice
little story about Governor kellogg and
Ex-Governor Warmoth, but have the very
best authority for pronouncing the state
ment that an interview had been held
between them, at the latter's office, not
correct. The first part Of the story hav-
ing no real foundation, the truth of all
that follows may be Justly doubted 1t is
very likely the Picayune's reporter has
been keeping company with some Repub-
lican wag who desired to set the political
world agog, and if he has failed it has not
been for the want Of a victim.

cally, for though largely in thu
majority at all our parish ano
State conventions, they have voluntarily
twice placed white man in the executive
chair, twice chosen a white Auditor and
Attorney General, and once a white Super
intendent of Education and Secretary OF
State. Whether these selections We're the
wisest that could have been made is not
material to the point at issue.
The establishment of the Herald arises
from the fact that the REPUBLICAN does
not follow the lead of the Democratic Or
gans, which invariably hatter those they
are paid to teach. This practice of indis-
crlminate laudatior has been carried so
far that the Democracy of Louisiana has
been ruined by the imitation Of it's
own conceit and Importance. Insig-
nlhcant little pigmies conceive them
selves to be intellectual giants; and
men whose money and adroitness have
barely saved themselves from the peniten-
tlary and the gallows, regaSd it as per-
sonal affront to see their names i'll print,
unless accompanied with the hattering fc-
ton that they are our most respectable,
worthy and highly esteemed citizens
We assure our neighbor that the Repub-
lican victories have not been achieved by
hattering the followers of our flag into in
activity. We have had too much serious
business on hand, too much hard work to
do to afford to lull our friends into fancied
security by leading them to over estimate
themselves
But we are glad the Herald has recog-
nized the wisdom of our cause. If it will
read us attentively and note the effect our
teac Kings have upon the people, we may
expect it to call the next crowd
that sacks the gunstores rioters, instead of
''the people, as it did the last time This
would be prodigious stride in the right
directi On, but we are not in dispair of
living to see TIE day when it will be done

chosen tog bis subject "HhO are the working
men and the instructive And,intorasting charac-
ter, ,uf hid temRFka showed that hA had gwen the
anbjaot carsfnl and thorough study.
lie commenced By referring to the vastness ci

ton and every Cline He then spoke Of length
OF the relations betwssn capital and labor lament
ing the many points Of difference existing bet Ween
them and asserting that they should not be inim.
ieal, but should movo along harmonionSly and
work together for the general good of both.
lie referred in n general manner TO strikes and
deplored their serious affect In preventing speedy
ISOLATION Of the difficulties and differences now OK.
lsting between the capitalist and tha laborer,-
They are attempts % forcibly acquire results
which should be obtained only BY diplomacy and
Amicabie arrangements, which would prove far
more satisfactory in the end
Trades Unions were also alluded to as having
an lmPoEahte erect on the conditions Of the labor
lug man. The speaker considered them unWise
and even injuliops institutions. They arrogate
70 themselves the right to make ell terms of agree
ment and decide upon the manner and amount Of
payment. Thus they attempt to soIee by force,
the most difficult and delicate problem Of the age,
and tend to widen, instead Of contracting the
breach between capital aud lGb0r.
The various phases Of the labor question were
thoroughly discussed, iuciuding the dependence
OF labor upon CuPitaE and the eight hour systen
OF labor. ToIhs latter the speaker was opposed,
believing tbs present system to be an admirable
Arrangement, and q fair and just division of the
hours Of labor and rest.
The lecture was listened to throughout, with
great attention, and Was frequently applauded,
showing that his hearers while they might not en-
dorse all the sentiments expressed, admired the
strong expressions, and earnest, thorough treat
ment of the subject
On Saturday evening next, Rev. James Waters,
pastor of the Second Baptist Church win deliver
lecture on "Astronomy." All ere invited.
