cation from some very intelligent col
ored men, who are entitled to hearing
No doubt they, as individuals, mean
what they say, but the emancipation Of
the colored race from slavery did not
emaneipate them at once from their
prejudices, nor are they yet entirely free
from the control Of artful leaders.
When this is done they will
have won a victory that will
do them credit. We are DESTROYS
that they shall become educated, know
ing that as they do so they will begin to
gather property about them and be better
qualified to exercise the rights and per-
form the duties Of citizenship. The
election returns for the last nine years
do not show where any great number of
them ever voted contrary to the instruc.
tons of their leaders. Ii they have ia.

Ieris earning many forcible abjurgations,
at least from the principal advocates Of
the mixed school provision Of the civil
rights bill, who declare that the General
has betrayed them.
Thomas W. Conway, formerly ofHLou-
isiana, stated to-day that Butler told
General Sheridan, Pinchbacks oppo
nent for Congressman at Large in Lou
isiana, that he should allow a motion to
strike out the obnoxious provision, if
the bill should be taken from the table
during the remaining ten days. Mr..
Conway asked Mr.. Butler if this was
true as Sheridan. stated, and the General
replied that it was. All this has greatly
chsgrined Downing and others who are
working with him, and Butler is as
greatly denounced as heretofore he has
been praised.

A WORD from CoIored voters.
MEMPHIs. TENN. JUNG ~, ~

MEMPHIS, Tenn. June II, 1874.
] o the Editor of the Ledger:
There is an article in the LEDGER Of
the 10th inst, which asserts that the
colored population cannot be reached or
influenced. 1t belongs to half dozen
shrewd white overseers, who enforce a
very profitable political slavery for their
own benefit" "When the blacks become
educated" as the LEDGER says, and in
telligent enough to do their own think
ing and form unprejudiced opinions,
they too will be welcome to present any
competent and suitable representative
for Office" We, as colored citizens of
Shelby county, deny the above assertion.
We no longer belong to the chaps called
those half dozen shrewd overseers" "
that you speak Of in your paper Of the
10th inst.
Remember that we are free to exercise
our judgment and to our friends of short
acquaintance and to those who have
been for long our friends we say: in the
coming contest let the best men win.
The above are the sentiments Of the col
ored men Of the county. The above are
the true sentiments Of the
COMMITTEE.

Roehefort DurInE His voyage.

An officer on board the French man
of.war which took Henri Rochefort and
his fellow convicts to the distant shores
of New Caledonia, publishes in the
Paris Petit Journal an entertaining ac-
count of how the former editor Of La
Lanterne and La Marseilla;se passed his
time during his long and weary sea voy-
age. TIE account has been translated
for Appletons' Journal, from which we
copy the following;
" At 6rst Rochefort was sick and i'll
at ease, bat after a short time his spirits
steadily improved, and a week later we
found him almost gay-the charming
talker and witty satirist which had been
known and admired in the best circles Of
French society BE wrote few sketches,
and we we're eonvulsed with laughter as
he read them to us. At Madeira we
stopped two days. 1t grieved our good
captain sincerely to be unable to allow
NJ. Rochefort 70 60 ashore. When We
crossed the line, Rochoiort was duly
initiated By the jolly tars, and tbeiF egri-
ous antics amused him greatly. DE
gave the captain one hundred francs for
extra wine rations for the crew. We did

not stop at St. Helena, the wind being
exceedingly unfavorable. Shortly after
ward M. Rochefort wrote little play,
which was most creditably performed by
some of the prisoners, The latter we're
treated almost as free men. Certainly
most of them were in as good humor as
if they were travelling for pleasure.
3 Stormy weather set in, and for nearly
whole week we were confined TO the
cabin. During this time NJ Rochefort
entertained US greatly by reading to us
the manuscript of his History Of the
Second Empire This work he was not
allowed to publish, Ithe Government hav-
ing refused to grant him the necessary
consent. 1t is curious work, very bit
ter Of course, and extreme in its views;
but, for all this, perhaps the more enter
tanning. lie allowed US TO criticise the
book very freely, and he consented to
make a number of alterations at our
suggestion. His description of the
capitulation of Sedan is intensely
graphic and as bitter as the most
scathing chapters in MicheleL's last vol
ume. The preface is headed by the
motto Nil admirari. In effect, l be-
lieve no one is highly praised in the
whole book except M de Bismarck, for
whom Rochefort entertains the greatest
respect. Of most members Of the de-
funet Commune hespeaks with whitening
contempt. They have more interest than
anybody else to desire the permanent
suppression OF the book. A month after
our departure, NJ. Rochefort had gained
fifteen pounds in flesh, and his color had
become much healthier. We had a
small printing press on board, and we
actually got out two numbers of jour
nal, most of the articles having been
written by M Rochefort. The whole
edition, however, was only twenty copies.
The journal was entitled L'Orage THE
Storm; preserved two copies OF this
journalistic curiosity. SO Z" Then
we had the theatricals again, and a
mock debate, in which NJ. Rochefort took
the leading part. In word, he was the
soul of our otherwise monotonous life
on shipboard, and we all became sin
cerely attached to him. However, as
we approached the end of our voyage, his
spirits became less buoyant, although he
was bravely struggling against fresh fits
of depression. 1t is certainly terrible
for this light hearted and light headed
Parisian bon-vivan to be exiled TO the
other end of the world
