The New York Herald and the
Er.k

The New York Herald, with its usual ingc-
nuity. in its search after sensational topics,
in its issue of the 9th instant, fortunes a
meaning out Of leader published in this
journal February 5th, on the Louisiana case,
which it was never intended to convey.
The sensational headings of the Herald
article, such as Threatened negro disaffec-
tion"-Treachery towards Pinchback waking
the anger of the race" &c., are entirely
worthy of the imaginative tendencies of the
correspondents of that journal, and contain
about the usual moiety Of truth when tested
by the sources from which its pretended in.
formation is drawn.
This journal has not threatened the party
in the interests Of Governor Pinchback, for
the simple reason that our entire concord
with the party rrccludes the necessity OF
threats or any other sort of belligerent Ian
guase. Equally untrue is the statement
made in the body of the article implying dis
trust on our part OF Senator Notions fidelity
to Governor Pinchback.
What we did say was exactly in these
words:
1--WE suppose the Senator from Indiana is
influenced by pure motives and what he
deems sufficient considerations for this change
of programme; but, in our judgment. the
courses uggested is not only inconsistent with
the position Of the honorable Senator first as
sumed, but is calculated to delay and embar
rass speedy and satisfactory solution of the
questions at ISSUE"
1t will be seen from this paragraph thai
Senator Morton is given the fullest credit FOL
honesty Of purpose and sincerity of convic
ton in the course he has seen fit to adopt
but that from our standpoint we regard hin
as logically inconsistent with himself. Ye
the Herald would make it appear that we ac-
cused him of moral vacilation, Or worse.
No one can grant with fuller grace, MOI
with freer spirit, the possession Of all the
grand qualities Of mind and sound qualitie:
of heart and shrewd suggestions of expert
ence which centre in the person CT the great
Senator from Indiana than VIC do; and OF
this very account we are jealous about hi
logical consistency on such an importan
question as the admission of one of our rae,
who comes with an admitted prima .faci
case knocking at the doors of the angus
body to which Mr.. Morton belongs.
We desired in our article, and desire now
to have it understood that the colored rae
comedies the leadership of the Senate to Mr.
Morton as freely and as joyously as it is con
coded by the whites, and for this reason W
feel anxious that he should do nothing il
this case which will lay him open to tn
charge of making Governor Pinchback tn
scapegoat of the Louisiana question.
This, and this only, was the inspiring sen
timents of the article in which the Heral
man found such mysterious mares nest

OLLIE DUTTON is the pest of the hotels
and shops in western New York. She is
young, pretty, heightened of address. She
goes to the best hotels and takes one Of the
best rooms usually tellingthe enraptured clerk
that she wants to stay there few days until
the arrival of her father. She is timid and
shy at being left SO alone, and sweetly asks
to be looked after because she is SO mex
perienced. Then she goes to the dry goods
stores and selects some valuable things which
she asks to have put aside until her father
comes, when she will call, pay for, and take
them. On second thought, though, she is in
a hurry for the silk, as she wants to wear it
as soon as she can get it made up. Won't
the dry goods man send 1t to the hotel, where
he can find out all about her, and when her
father comes he will call for the rest of the
purchase and pay the bill. Just at that mo-
ment Ollie looks truly good, and the dry
goods man says he will send the silk right
around. Before the effect of her grateful
smile has left him the silk is at the hotel.
When she has got all the goods that can be
mad she packs up and slips of. But Ollie
has been arrested at last in Buffalo, and now
she may practice at smiling the bars of her
cell.
