PRESS MUZZLING.

One Of the most curious specimens of
journalistic enterprise to be found in this
country is a paper called the Opelousas
Courier, one.half of which is edited and
printed by intelligent men in Chicago or
St. Louis, making of the sheet what is
known as "a Yankee patent insider. :"
After being inwardly charged with liberal
ideas, and printed as above, the edition is
placed in an envelope and sent to the
parish Of st. Landry, where the outside
is disfgured in two languages page
receiving an impression Of tolerable
French, while the first page is covered
with bad English
Trying in so many ways to make an IL
dependent paper, and striving for popu-
larity by putting in two languages the
outside editor certainly deserves the sup
port Of the community in which one-half
Of lis paper is printed, and should be let
alone; but it appears he has been over
whelmed by force more numerous than
himself, if not superior, and in his last
issue be makes the following humble ad-
mission:
From this date the control of the editorial
columns Of the Courier passes into the hands
OF the White League. The business de-
partner: remains under ny control.
We have heard of clamorous creditors
Selling the forms Of paper and delaying
its issue, but never before has barbecue
public been treated to raid like one of
these-the White League raids-where the
editorial columns of half of every edition
are to be controlled by and made to re-
sound with the praise Of the men who
have captured them.

THE WHITE LEAGUE FAILURE.

1t now transpires that there is some
thing akin to serious breach in the
camp of the opposition. The "Indepen-
dent" element of the Democracy do not
sympathize with the other wing, whose
lively young men insist upon raising the
white mans flag, and waging political,
financial, social and business war upon
the whole colored race and their friends.
Hence, the prospect for sweeping this
State in the interests of the disconnected
clique is not at all bright.
We are glad to see this. The move
ment would, no doubt, end in failure, in
any case, but we regard it as hopeful
sign tina: the wiser and better portion of
the Democracy withhold their sanction Of
any such narrow, selfish, unchristian
scheme as the DISTINGUISHING of about
half the voters Of this State appears to US
to be. Without complete union Of all the
white people, and unlawful practices at
the polls and in counting the votes, it
would be futile to set up a political party
founded on the distinctions of race. And
since the Democracy, itself being in the
minority, is about equally divided upon
the only vital principle they have yet an
nounced, we may set it down as pretty
sure that the attempt will not be made. 1t
is true that each Of these factions charac-
terizes the other as being composed of
but a few men ambitious for place and
power; but the truth is they are pretty
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-06-30

equally divided. The Independents wish
to arrive at the same point as their
rivals, but by a different process.
This wing is composed mostly Of bust
ness men and property owners, while
the status Of the White Leaguers is
OF a lower order. The impecunious
the idle, thriftless, who have either failed
in business or neglected every opportunity
to find employment, are generally found
in the ranks OF the White Leagues. Never
having had any opportunities Of testing
the services Of the colored man, they are
ignorant Of his true value; and having
nothing to lose and all to gain by any
change Of fortune, they are ready to
sacrifice all the business interests of their
more prosperous fellow-Democrats by de-
priving them of the best body of laborers
any State ever had. The proposition is
of course, sheer nonsense; any serious
indication that it could by any possibility
be carried into effect would carry con-
sternatlon to every plantation, banking
house, insurance Office, factors counting
room and every other business establish
ment in the State. Rather than lose the
product of the labor of the one hundred
thousand skilled plantation hands, the
owners Of this State would forego
forever all hope Of ever obtaining any
more political power and influence than
they now enjoy and exercise.
We hope this split will not have the
Effect to make our friends careless, or
cause them to relax their efforts to reform
whatever there is in the usage of the party
hat may be Objectionable. Intelligence
md honesty are virtues which should not |
De lost sight of, nor can they safely be |
without danger Of disaster.

CHARLESTON, September 1S.-The Execu.
tive Committee of the Independent Repub-
licans, who bolted the nomination of Cham
berIain on the ground of his participation in
the frauds and mismanagement during the
Scott and Moses administration, have issued
a call for an Independent Republican Con-
vention to meet in Charleston October I'd to
nominate State ticket.
One of the largest mass-meetings of COL
ored people ever held in Charleston took
place last night at the City Hall, and was ad.
dressed by Congressman Ransier and others.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing the
nomination of Chamberlain as well as Cham
berlain himself, and pledging themselves to
support any honest Republican, unconnected
with the past corrupt administrations, who
may be nominated by the Republican party.
The boilers will probably nominate Judge
John P. Green against Chamberlain. The
mention OF Green's name during the meeting
was received with wild cheers. He is a ma
tive Republican against whom no charge OF
dishonesty is made, and his election would
be satisfactory to the taxpayers.
