misfortune of Louisiana was brought
about by the election of dishonest and
incompetent Legislators, snd all such

"social equality" that bugbear with
which Democrats pretend to brighten
each other, was handled in straight
forward mannersby the speaker, and
it's utter delusiveness demonstrated.
Social relations will adjust themselves
here as they do under all systems of
government in the. civilized world.
No colored man desires to force him

nor does he wish white men to make
free in his household, his bathrooms
or his churches. Each mans house is
his castle, and his right to discrimin-
ate as to whom he shall admit and
whom exclude is subject to no law.
