WHITE LABOR.
We arc in reco pit Of the followin!
carl from a laboring y bite man, whit
justly complains that many of ouI
people give employ ment to lheil
worst enemies among the blacks
when they could secure good reliable
white labor which stands at thoil
door seeking employment:
A CARD TO THE PUBLLC.-You all
talk about hard ti}pes. We can ez-

business men have their black pets
around them. | would ask you all,
men of wealth, are there not white
men, and hard working, honest poor
men, who have wives and children
/ mothers and sisters to support, and
/ who are now idle through no fault of
their own? There arc plenty of
these families that are actually suffer-
ing iq tbis place and when these
very poor men 60 to rich man for

man has to wall; around idle, looking

each other and rule the country" -,
IN this connection We call attention
to the following able article from the
New Orleans Morning Star" of the
18th, which we hope will be attentive
ly considered |:
1--WE are informed by some Of the
daily papers that, throughout the
country parishes, there is in forma-
ton an extensive organization called
the White Mans party or the White
League We are not Informed Of the
details of its makeup, but of one
thing We can be sure, that it will be
an utter failure if it is limited to
voting. The negroes in this State
are in a small majority, If the hun
drcds of scurvy white tricksters and
few honest white Republicans are
counted with them. D.. i.,, , q
THAT it is impossible, by any process
Of reason or any lavishiug Of kind
ness, to make tnc least impression
upon their political unity has been
clearly demonstrated in the past.
They are resolute and unwaveriug in
their war upon the white race; That
they are, and have been, carrying on
a relentless war upon the whites, is
unfortunately too true. 1t is indeed
not a war of arms, for in that they !
have not had the shadow of a chance

Legislative war7-a war Of ruin and
extermination through the army OF
sherifs and their deputies. =. ,s,,s
4 negro Congressman from South
Carolina, some time ago remarked in
Washington that they like to pile on
the taxes in his State because il
makes land Cheap. Similar senti-
ments are reported to have been re,
Gently expressed in This State, and
there is good reason to believe that
there is deliberate and well under
stood conspiracy to heap on taxes
until landed property shall have be-
come a bnrden and shall lapse into !
the possession Of the State as a for
feitnre for its unpaid imposts. We
would not be guilty of the injustice OF
including all the negroes and colored
people in this charge Of conspiracy
and in other charges made in this ar
ticle. We know that many OF them
have had no intention Of injuring the
white population out were merely ac- !
tuated by foolish idea that it was
