The HoYtefulls.

An old man stood n front of a platform
occupied by young politician, who, with
the usual vehemence of a partizan, was de-
claring the eternal ru in of all America pro-
vided his party was OF continued in pow
er; and he shook his b cad at the suggestion,
saying he had heard hat kind of argument
at every election for fl ,rty years, and SO far
as he knew, the country was yet in good
state of preservation and bid fair to cOntin-
ue so.
There are hundreds of business men in
this city who are deluded by designing
politicians to the bell Of that they are ruin
ed ; and they do not wear cheerful faces, or
move about with el;istie step; and they
lose hours of most valuable time to them
selves and the community in recounting
their ills. Yet it must be true, considering
all the facilities of this metropolis, that a
hundred avenues to wealth are yet untouch-
ed, and new industries manufactures or
elements of trade may BE infused. But it
wants;a strong body of hopeful, pushing,
dauntless men to give us prosperity-a
band of hopefuls to crush out monopolies,
and create brisk competition n every
branch of trade. Is the Crescent City ready
to furnish them!

rY' We notice that the Seminary trou-
bles are not entirely ended yet, as we sim
cerely hoped they would be by General
Emory's order, and that the innocent par
ties at least, involved in them would be al
lowed breathing spell in body and mind,
20 recover from the Heterogeneous into
which both have been thrown, but it seems
that even that charitable respite is to be
denied them, and that the sins of the father
If any he has committed) are to be visited
on the wife and children, who are com,
manded or invited, again to take up their
beds and walk.
We mislaid the copy Of the order r9fered
To above from the executive committee, of
the board of supervisors, removing the old
custodian and appointing new one, and
directing the latter to invite the military
TO again occupy the Seminary buildings.
Now how does the above coincide IN let
ter and iu spirit with General Emory's
comments upon tho matter, which we copy
below, and how can the military accept an
invitation, to do thing of which their
commander so unequivocally disapproves.
AS to changing the custodian of the Semi
nary grounds and buildings, if the execu-
tive committee have the right to do so, and
think they have c.suse, we have not word
TO say, but in the name of justice, humani-
~ and manly spirit we protest against any
farther oppression of helpless and suffer-
ing women and children.
The use of the grounds and buildings by
the troops can only be accepted as courte-
~ from the Governor, and used for the
pnrposeof camp ground, and for the pur-
pose of storing in any vacant houses, pub
lie property, aud giving shelter to officers
families and laundresses, who may be with
the command. The idea of placing officers
IN quarters, while the men are in camp, Is
destructive of discipline, against the prac-
tice of the army, and it not to tolerated for
one moment.

the redemption of the State! First, it
must be done inside the Republican party.
That party has given the colorea people
their liberties and secured to them all the
rights which they now enjoy The instinct
of safety, as well as of gratitude, keeps
them within its shelter. No other party,
according even greater privileges, can Sc
come their prejudices in favor of the party
which has done so much for them. 1t is fol-
ly to think of such thing. But it does
not necessarily follow that the leading col
ored men of the State are unwilling to puri-
~ their party, or to invite better class
of citizens to Join with them for the re-
demption of Louisiana. They know as
well as we do that they have associated
themselves with many bad and designing
men. who are not identified with their Ow
interests nor those of tire people at large
This association was made for specific OBJ
iect, which has now been accomplished
namely, the permanent recognition of the
common rights of human liberty to the
race. They are, we believe, willing to cut
loose from this bad element, II they can at
| tract better class OF men, who, sincerely
and in good faith, recognizing those rights,
will work for the material redemption of
the State. But they will naturally insist
that this shall be done inside of the Repub-
lican party, leaving them within its protec-
ton, under State and federal authority.
We say, therefore, that these colored
men-the leaders of their party-have it
within their power to redeem the State
from its present perilous condition. Let
them avoid new parties and new combina-
lions, which can affect no good to the or
selves or any one else and, standing within
their own party, make public declaration
of their intention to put the State on q
| prosperous basis, naming specifically, as far
as possible, the reforms which they propose
to accomplih, and what rights they demand
They hold the ky to the position in then
own party and everything is at its mercy
as the matter now stands. They have at
this moment the power to make warm pol
itical allies and trends of a sufficient mum
Der of the best white men in the State to
maintain their rights against all opposition
and under every possible contingency II
! the future. If the colored leaders honest
" desire reform they can accomplish it b,
| the course suggested but if their hostility
to the Southern white people outweighs al
other considerations, then the present an
tagonism must remain-to accomplish, first
financial ruin to all the people, and finally
but not the less certainly, the overthrow
of the political power Of the colored race il
the State.

THE CROPS, &C., &c.-We have CONVEX
sed with a number of planters during the
mast week, and all agree in reporting a
great and visible improvement in the crop
prospect, cotton, corn ard cane, of which
the last as far as the plant cane is concern
ed, is generally extremely promising.
About an average is the usual expression,
as to cotton and corn, some very good and
some very bad. Weather still fine and

Another UnificatiOn Meet
FL. ing.

On the evening of Tuesday the 18th insty
another, according to the displayed and ex-
tended heading, Grand Unifoa,ion Mass
Meeting, was to be held at Exposition Hall,
New Orleans, the preliminary address to
which we copy below, being endorsed by
nearly one thousand Of the best known and
most influential citizens of New Orleans,
both as regards political and social stand
ing.
AS will be seen, the name Of our Senator
appears among the sigaers of the ad-
dress, not as one of it's approvers or
eudorsers merely, but as one of the origina-
tors of the plan, and certainly no one re-
garding his position ought to know better
than he does, the truths of the words of
the first sentence of the series ofresolutions
to which he has affixed his signature, joint
ly with Beauregard Marks Mary, Rouda-
nez and others, and which he and they
ought to be, and no doubt are determined
to aid in carrying into effective operation
even at the expense of any personal incon-
venience or sacrifice, should such be neces-
sary, though not know probable.
To avert the evils with which Louisiana
is now threatened, according to the first
sentence in the exordium of the address, to
remove the cause as explained III The
second, and to redeem the pledge made in
Che last resolution, there is as reasonable
to suppose some sure and practicable way,'
and we may reasonably conclude that An
tome, Mary, Kelso and Roudanez, are in full
accord with Beauregard, Marks, BONN and
Randolph, in desiring satisfactory settle
ment of all difficulties and will use all
their Influence to bring it about.

How 10 Redeem Louisiana.

The Natchitoches Times two weeks ago
had an editorial under the above heading,
which the New Orleans Republican of the
10th inst, Copied entire, and in its editorial
remarks not only inferred, but actually as
serted that its anthor, Colonel Puckette, the
editor of the Times, had deserted all other
political camps, and settled down perma-
nently in the Republican one, asthat of the
party to which he had transferred his faith
and allegiance in political measures. As for
ourselyeswe must confess we did not view
our able confere's article exactly in the same
light that the Republican did, but thought
that it meant that he and great many
others would do SO and SO, be Republicans
or act with the Republican party, if its
leaders and most particularly the cohored
portion of those leaders, who he assumes
have the power to do SO, would make 1t
respectable party, and not one admitted as
he asserts by IT'S own members and journals,
(the Republican by inference among the rest,)
to be tainted by corruption, official dishon-
esty or open thievery, public and private.
Aye, Colonel, there's the rub, the milk in the
cocoa nut indeed, make it honest and re-
spectacle, according to your ideas, and you
and plenty of others, reasonable and liberal
like yourself would join it and not care par
ticularly about the name, though what rea-
souable objection there can be to the name
of Republican, even among Fusionists or
Liberals we cannot imagine, as one of their
ablest papers in the late campaign, was the
st. Louis Republican. Do not wait for the
colored or any other leaders Of the Republi-
can party to make it honest, Vt pitch in
yourself and bring enough of your friends
to accomplish the great object, the grand
sine qua non yourselves. According to the
Chinese portrait painter, who answered the
objections of a setter, that his picture was
too ugly-how can handsome hab if no
handsome got, and as most Ofthe opposition
to the Republican party, assert that there
is very litsfe honesty in it, how can you
honest get if they no honest hab, therefor
we say again, don't wait for it to be done
for you, but fall in and help to do it for
yourselves, and then you ought to be GER
| tain it will be well done.

A WORTHLESS PROTOCOL.
Spin Unab-s to Surrender the Steamer Viz.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 5.-The news
from Havana, published this morning,
occasions very great interest in all quar-
tiers. The Cabinet officers who have
been called upon to day have no imp NJ
tant news to communicate Many
speculatioDs exist as to the results Of
the delay in the delivery of Virginius
to this Government by the Spanish
authorities in Havana. The diploma
tic branch of cur Government Is not SO
hopeful now as it was scvera! days a-.o
eof the ability Of Spain to carry out its
orders, although the honest intentions
OF the Castelar, Government are admit
ted. The suggestion OF modification
Of the protocol that the Virginius may
he delivered to a third party to await
adjudication does not at present meet
with any official favor.
SECRETARY FIsH's SURRENDER TO SPAIN.
The Cabinet to-day talked over the
situation, Tut nothing was done to
change the position Of affairs. The de
lay in delivering the Virginius occa
siol's much disappointment, but this is
not believed to b. the fault of the Mad
rid Government. The embarrassments
surrounding the matter are appreciated,
and therefore without a formal pro-
longation OF time, the Administration
will wait until the delivery can be eff
ected in away that will give the least
offence to Spanish pride 1t is believed
from what has been privately said in
official quarters, that it was not agreed
b tween Secretary Fish and Admiral
Polo that the Virginlus should be sur
rendered at the port of Havana, but
that the We ssel should be taken from
the harbor and conveyed beyond its
jurisdiction, and then delivered to such
United States vessels as might be sent
to receive it, preparation being made
to give timely notice Of the transfer.
1t is considered that thus. course would
