In his recent great speech on 'tWaz
or Peace" and his 'ter1ible arraign-
ment of Southern thugs and assas-
SINS" Senator Morton at the Masonic
Hall in Indianapolis, of the Louisiana
case, thus significantly says:
1T is too late now, as I said before,
to inquire into who was elected in
Louisiana. There must be some
things settled or you cannot carry on a
government. There must be some
time when questions Of this kind
cannot be raised. There must be
some tribunal, whose decisions .upon
such questions must be respected as
final"
In this connection we would ask by
what process our contemporary, the
Picayune has enumerated Louisiana
as among the States to elect a United
States Senator in the coming Legisla-
ture? Senator Pinchback's admission
will, we opine, be satisfactorily deter
in consonance with this sig
niacant utterance of Senator Morton,
who is Chairman Of the Senate Com
on Elections, before our next
shall have convened.

CAUTION

In times like these the people cannot
be too careful in regard to the treat
ment Of their neighbors, as mutual
confidence and respect for each other
are the things needful for our redemp-
ton. It is therefore to be regretted
that our anti Republican journals,
will insist on publishing daily sensa-
tioual articles with flaming headlines
about negroes, such as are calculated
to arouse the base passions of the
whites, and perpetuate the fear and
suspicious Of the colored people.
The fact that no colored men were
molested on Monday and Tuesday,
except those engaged in the fight as
Aetropolitans, has done much to disa-
buse our people Of the idea that the
whites: intended an indisosiminate
murder Of them if they ever had the
power and opportunity; and il is to be
hoped chat the way thus opened for
reconciliation may not be closed by in
publications, which cannot
possibly result in any good and may
do much harm.
We wish it understood that in the
above we are not asking immunity
for colored wrong doors, what We
mean is no unnecessary and extraor-
sensationalism.
To our people We say, now more
than ever you need to be discreet
respectful and hw-&biding; it is true
That Federal troops are here to sustain
