THE IMPERIAL PRONOUN.

We are often struck with the careless
manner in which the insignia of editorial
authority is thrown about the Office A
reporter in minion will assume all the airs
and dignity which BELTS the principal,
and will drag the decorouS heads of the
journal into literature entirely incompati-
BILE with their character before the people.
"What doth gravity out Of its bed at
midnight?' And how comes his imperial
pronoun at cockfghts, dance houses and
whisky shops?
1t was even impressed to the Voudou
orgies of Wednesday night, and we were
expected to imagine elderly and dignified
gentlemen, who are supposed to weigh
the political and commercial destinies of
the land, wading through the mud, STUN
bling in the dark, drinking kill-round-the-
corner whisky in an extremely mis-
cellaneous assemblage Of pilgrims to
the shrine Of Marie Levaux, without
any regard to class, color or past condl-
ton of sobriety. We have even one
usurper of this honored pronoun saying
that according to our experience par
ticular whisky makes us see imps and
hobgoblins. Now, this must be a libel
upon his staid and sagacious patron, who

A SPIRITED ISSUE.

The prolific PIC makes new and Sc
rious imputation and issue, as follows:
A little Second District whisky then pro-
duces very legion of imps and witches.
Such, at least, is our experience.
Why this charge against the saloons of
the Second District? Can not man take
a drink on the forth side of Canal street
without seeing imps and feeling snakes in
his boots? 1t is affirmed upon "the per-
sonal experience" of the Pic. With the
almost Judicial reputation Of the Pic for
the pleasures of the palate, there is
a responsibility almost actionable in
such an unqualified decision against
the staple drink of a whole district.
The very threat of patronage with
drawn implied in the words quoted is
sufficient to effect the value of saloon
license in the interdicted quarters. Either
these prescribed potatories will demand a
recantation from the Pic, or they will send
bottles of whisky to the other journals by
way of appeal from the injurious decision.
Second District whisky gives people
the jimjams, does it? A man may
safely visit the Crescent Hall, but must
avoid the Sazarac. Such an unwarranta-
BILE attack upon the spirituous integrity of
some of our most select saloons will demand
response. Shall we not have it? Let
there be convention of Second District
saloonists, with committee of inquiry
and an address. Let the presumptious
PIC be brought on its knees before the
counter, and the fiery spirit tested on its
reporters. What if the Pic had imbibed
the jimjams in other districts, and laid
the mischief on the Second District
saloonists ? We have now an interval be-
fore the election. Let there be an open
issue on this matter, committee Of in
yestiCation and a report.

''It appears like"
We endeavored to quiet the suspicious
of our interviewer by explaining their
absurdity. That people who subsist in
great part on the labor and the services OF
others, should quit their comfortable
walks and dwellings, renounce their annual
excursion to the White mountains and
the Alps; go forth with their umbrellas
to toll in the furrow or feed the furnace,
or exchange the luxurious carriage for
the SCATTERING dray, was not reasonable.
That ladies, reared in refinement and &C.
customed to social splendor, should pre-
side at the washtub instead of the piano,
or scrub the front steps, or cook the din
ner, seemed to us incredible, and we SO
stated.
Mr.. Bates, with the caution of his race,
abstained from any contumacious defense
Of his opinions, but we could perceive
that they were unchanged. He is still Of
belief that the White League means the
exclusion Of all colored people from en-
ployment, unless they will consent, after
the manner proposed by the Pennsylvania
planter on the Teche, to cast their vote for
the ticket which their employers shall pre-
sent for their Endorsement. In this belief
Mr. Bates is evidently fixed and incorrigi-
BILE, and we apprehend he speaks the SEN
timents of his race.
