Two Pictures.

Look OH this picture. A Judge
Of a high United States Court, hon
ored and respected when he first
came and having the full conf
dcnce of our people, that he would
give them justice-and they asked
no more-lending himself to a vile
persecution Of innocent men, drag
gsing the spotless ermine he brought
here in the very filth and mire, dis
pensing one side justice, while he
was reeking with the scent of his
own pollution; prostituting tho law
to the qualification of an unwarrant-
ed hate; making law, justice and
right bend, unwilling victims, to the
assertion of negro supremacy over
the white man, and even glorying
in the sense of his own moral degras
|datlon. Behold this partisan Judge
playing cards with a vile political
associate, while for all he knew
the lives of eight men were ut stake
in another room! See him AFRO
giant, insolent and vile, as he sits
an unfit representative of the majes-
ty of the law, and disgrace and
foul blot upon the sanctity of the
precincts where justice holds her
court, and when equity challenges
your respect, and you know that
his name is WOODS.
See now: A calm, dignified gen
tlcman, rising in the consciousness
of his own moral rectitude, high
above all party considerations ;
scorhing to lend himself to party
persecution aud daring to " do right
though the heavens should fall"
and with such a regard for the
sanctity Of his oath, and such. re.
spect for the sacredncss OF his Judi
cial character, that he could and
did do justice three prosecuted
white men, although in doing so, he
declared the pet law of the Repub
lican party to be unconstitutional
and in conflict with the exploded
q idea of States rights.
Behold the towering height to|
which this righteous Judge has at
tanned by his moral courage and in
ate noblcness, and contrast it with
the moral degradation and con
scious debasement of this other
partisan Judge. Preserve the pic,
lures, and curse him for a Judicial
monstrosity as you gazc;,t the one,
and reverence him for Il fearless
and upright Judge as you,look upon
the other. Condemn Woods to in
fanny and hold Jasticc Bradley high /
in your esteem.

! We have PUBLISHED the comnluni-
cation of "LoOker On" q colored
man, just as it came into our hands
Ifrom the Post Office. We do not
know who he is, but would he glad
to hear from him or any others of
the colored people, as often as they
may choose to send us such sensi-
bic letters as this one. He
: is mistaken in one thing, we have
never said, nor do we believe, that
all the negroes are "tlieves." But
We have SAID and we tell "Looker
On" that we can prove that the re-
preventative men of his race who
have been put forward, are as cor
rupt as the carpet.baggers and
have come pretty near, if not quite,
all been thieves. We want to give
''Looker On" and the honest color
ed people he represents a few fig
urcs to work on. How could Har-
ry Lott make money enough hon
estly, at $S 90 a day for sixty days,
to bu.ya plantation !? $3.50 in
State warrants and about 900 in
mileage would not buy a very big
plantation and support a man and
his family in New Orleans besides,
would it now, ''Looker Ont" ..f
And how could Kelso at the same
wages honestly make money enough
to 60 into the Commission business,
sport fine clothes, drive fast horses,
wear big diamond pins and big
gold watch drink champagne,
smoke fine cigars, buy and set up a,
newspaper, and besides all this
loose t.centy thousand dollars in one
gear buying cotton 2 Couldn't do
it on $3.50 State warrants, could
he now "Looker On ~ And how
could Mayo make enough in one
session at the same figures, to buy
and improve lot in town for five
hundred dollars in grccnbacks ? He
had to live pretty close, didn't he
now, "Looker On?" What We slame
you for is putting such men in of:
flee. Now on the other hand we
will tell sou Of one honest colored
man you have had in Office, whom
we respect as such, and that is Jes-
sic Clifton in the Police Jury. We
are rather afraid of your other man,
Bill kclso, because he is a brother
Of Georges and George may have
put him up to tricks, but Bill if left
to himself would be all right, we
believe. We have watched Jessie
closely for three years, and if you
will put up such men us he is and
fairly elect them to Offices whose
duties they. can understand, we will
not have a word to say, "Lool:er
On but will protect them in their
right to hold them.
Write again, ::Looker On" this
is question i'll which the whites
aud blacks are all Interested, and
the Caucasian so far from seeking
Or wishing to do your race any in
justice, is anxious for us all to come
to some amicablc understanding
about this thing and our columns
are always open to such of you as
desire to return to an hon
est administration of our State gov
eminent, for an expression of your
views. You will always find a
ready encouragement at our hands.

The BART ABLE.-Our bully packet
came to time this week with her flag
flying us . token to us that she had
aboard IT,. released C2lfax Prisoners.
Her landing was saluted with the
booming Of burnt powder, and as
she left, she was saluted by the boys
on her own account with u parting
blast. Our joolly good friend "Mars
Dick" was on the roof as usual, and
we were greeted with the smiling
countenances Of Capt. Bea Kay and
Rcdman III the pilot house, and had
a grasp of the hand of Tom Dowty
on the wharf. We shall regret to
part with. the Bart Able when the
low water forces her out of the trade,
but as we shall sec the same gentle
manly officers on the Sabine, We will
be consoled. Success to you wherey-
er you are Capt. Dick

TIE FOURTH OF .JULY.-No big
guns, no big speeches, nos waving of
banners and beating of drums this
time. The Declaration of Indepen.
dence is a fraud in these times, and
the assertion of our liberty when we
are ground down into the dust would
be a burlesque. Silence is the most
appropriate greeting for our modern
Fourth of July, and silence will be the
greeting it will receive at our hands
to-day. For a wonder, even. the ne
groes haven't got any thing on hand
for to-day. "The glorious Fourth I"
is mighty poor shakes around here
about now. We might make the day
a subject fo- long comparison be-
tween what it was and what it is,
but we refrain. The subject is too
suggestive for our space. :

of the Anglican clergy, the unctuons letter
in which Mr.. Gladstone assured the Pro-
testant clergy that he was deeply grateful
to them for their appreciation of his article
In the Contemporary, and that he was
driven to address them through the Guard
tan on account of the number of clerical
adherents he was obtaining. The "tit-bit"
in the article was that about "bloody Mary"
and "the renouncing of moral and mental
freedom" The mOrsel was 30 relished by
those before whom the bait was dangled
that the ambitions fisherman has cast into
the water his whole box of worms, forget
ting, in his anxiety and haste !or success,
that by troubling the stream he might
frighten away. as ae has done, many OF che
very fish he most earnestly coveted. But
40 it is. This last little manoeuvre of our
fallen political Ajax is seen through by the
country. Protestants may applaud the
theological attack upon Rome, but they are
quick to distinguish between the theologi-
cal and the political side of Mr.. Gladstone's
character. He has called his pamphlet "a
Political Expostnation :" his friends call
it "a political firebrand."
Lastly, men are asking-Why has the
Statesman turned theologian Aud they
reply to the question thus: First, we
have heard that when the then ArchdescOn
of Chichester and Mr.. Hope Scott entared
the Catholic Church, some twenty three
years ago.tMr. Gladstone himself w4skon
the pOlDt OF IuakiuS his suoHiissiou utoo )
but ha:ing turned his back upon the light
he has become the more potentially hos
tile and personal feeling, as one relative
| or friend after another has become Catho .
lie, has ranked aud sprouted. until at last,
upon the conversion of Lord Ripon, he has
fairly lost all self. control and rushed into
the sxcesses of his last manifesto. We
shall have many reasons to DO grateful to
Mr.. Gladstone. Truth will gain by the
discussion of his pamphlet, and Catholic
docsrine mag he preached a.ssa; once more Is
the Durham Letter served our cause, 80
will the "Political Expostulation." 1t will
hardly serve the cause of it's author. Mr..
Gladstone's last move, however, is not yet
played. We shall watch with sorrowful
interest what we fear may be his down
ward course. With one hand stretched out
to DIR. Dollipger. and the other to the
scientific party of free thought, with his
eyes gazing towards place and power, ard
with q conscience modelled upon the end
he has in view, Mr.. Giadstone's process OF
development will be followed with some
anxiety by all men, and we shall await the
bitter end.

A REVELATION BY A RErUBLIcAN.-The
special correspondent of the New York
Times, who was sent to Alabama for the
purpose Of investigating the outrages re-
ported by Congressman Hayes, has evil
IDENTIFY been much astounded at learning
the real condition of affairs in the South.
He has found light in dark place. The
social condition of the races has been 80
much misrepresented by interested politi-
clans that many persons in all parts of the
country have been led to believe that the
negroes, if not really in danger of being
butchered in cold blood, are at least looked
down upon and maltreated by the whites.
The correspondent AYERS that he has been
in almost every part of Alabama-in cities
aud villages, and on remote plantations
and he firmly believes that the black men
and women of that State are generally bet
ter fed and enjoy more freedom of action
than any class of farm laborers in Germany
or France. And then he remarks "That
they are more their own masters than peo-
pie of the same class at the North Is not
to be disputed. 1t can without exaggera-
ton be said that they come and go as they
please. In the Wids5 of the cotton picking
/ have known bundreds of them to leave
their work aud go miles on foot to attend

and sometimes two days. Would they
