Wh1te League
Our white citizens do not generally
and heartily accept this scheme, the
tempered the journals advocating
it is proscriptive and bitter, calca-
lated to consolidate the whole Re-
publican vote, white and coloreq, and
the leaders, thus far, have neither
the nerve nor the discretion to carry
out this ill-advised and difficult
programme. The State at large
cannot reasonably expect any BEN
eft or relief; nor the friends of the
movement any success from the
White League, Of Louisiana.
But we deprecate the action Of
our white fellow citizens, who have
gone into this movement, because it
proceeds upon a Misrepresentation
of both the causes. and. the. remedy
Of our present embarrassment.
The bad government, alleged to
exist, is the result, not Of the dis
honesty Or incompetency Of the
voting classes, either white, or
colored, but at most, has come upon
Jus, merely because the voters have
failed TO take due interest in the
political management OF the State,
Elea177iin,g{ the cliques and rings Of

but in the kindly cooperation 81

ton Of things, and in the iimnmedi-

individual citizen of each race, Of
his duties as a voter,
The colored people, as such, have
made no Organization upon the
basis Of race, and seek no ends in
antagonism to tho rights Of their
white brethren, but only such as
belong to the colored and white
equally and alike. We shall ex-
ceedingly regret such organization
on the part Of misguided md pre-.
JUDGED Caucasian, as shall constrain
for our self-protection, a change
in either the temper or programme
herein indicated by us. We shal

SENSATIONS.

That compound OF Journalistic
whims-exhibiting the crudities
TINT spring from juvenility and
dotage-the New Orleans Picayune,
has given to its respectable and
venerable readers a very elaborate
description Of the organization OF
what it is pleased to style "The
Black League" This mythical Or
SANITATION is composed of blacks
exclusively and purposes to absorb
all the rights, individual, political
and otherwise, heretofore supposed
to be enjoyed by white citizens in
Louisiana; and is to give its first
exhibition Of violence on this, to-
day, the Fourth Of July.
II we credit the sincerity OF the
Pinuyune on this subject, as we'll as
on others, in which its eccentric
views amaze tho people, we should
be compelled to question the sanity
of the editor. But, in difference to
the supposed sense necessary to run
a journal for 'tthe Oldest and best"
we will concede that the author OF
this silly canard is sane-sanity
admitted, the Pic. docs not believe
its own statements, and it's fraud
can be accounted for only upon one
Of two grounds.
Feeling it's advocacy Of the
White League will damage the
country, will probably defeat its
partizans-and not improbably and
justly create an indignant feeling
in the white masses, that shall
react ~damagingly upon this time
serving and INSCRIPTIONS sheet,
the Picayune proposes to divert
attention from the White League
folly and monstrosity, by falsely
charging that the colored people
are organizing the Black League, a
party Of race alone.
But another, less vicious but
equally ignoblo ground, Upon which
our saper-scrvicsable and shifting
contemporary may have acted, is
alarm and envy ut the progress in
popular favor and patronage Of our
dashiog sensational friend; the
Bulletin. The Pic-to a man up q
tree-is too juvenile to be mature
and too old to be sprightly. We
cannot say what the forte OF the
Pie is, but certainly it does not now
possess any Of the qualities OF an
attractive sensationalism. With q
mingled feeling Of pity and con-
tempt, we dismiss this subject.

" G. REP BLICAN AND SEN
ATOR

Senator Pinchback is among his
people again, and returns. with IN
abated confidence not only in tho
ultimate success OF his efforts to
secure a recognition, by the u. S.
Senate, OF his rights to a seat in
that honorable body but full ofhope
for the country and the great Re-
publican party. -
The New Orleans Republican,, in
noticing the arrival of Senator
Pinchback in the city, takes occa-
sion to announce that he proposes
to canvass the State, for the pur-
pose of securing a reelection to the
U. S. Senate next January. This
statement is partially correct only.
There is no need for. the reelection
Of Governor Pinchback. He has
already, by q General Assembly,
whose authority is recognized here
and in Washington, by the domin-
ancy and control of the laws made
by it, been duly and with great unan-
unity elected for the term begin
ming March 4th, 1873. The Act OF
that Assembly in his election is as
unquestionablo, legal and binding,
as any law that was passed by it
and is now obeyed by the citizens
of Louisiana. Thore is no vacancy
in the Senate, SO far as Louisiana is
concerned, and the small dema-
.gogues who would ike to see Gov
ernor Pinchback resign, and have for
this and other evil ends done dirty
and uuscrnpulous work, will be dis
appointed. It is true that Senator
Pinohback, in the interest Of the
public peace and welfare, and OF
the Great Party Of Progress, will
visit every parish in the State, and
address his fellow-citizens; yet, it
will not be for the purpose of con-
trolling the nominations to the Gen
eral Assemly, but to vlndicate the
wisdom of the Assembly, in his
original election, and to show who
are the time-servers and dema-
gogues, to be dreaded in office,
Whether Democrat or ao-called he
publican. He will meet with a cor
dial and grateful welcome, and we
anticipate, not only help to our
party, but to the State from his
canvass thereof.

TO THE POINT

. Our friend HyAMs, of the Sugar
Planter, the official journal of West
Baton Rouge. thus significantly
daracterizes the action Of certain
parties who have been covertly and
sel6shly opposing the seating OF
Gov. Pinchback in the Senate OF
the United States.
His utterances ore to the point
and his closing prediction will find
its fulflment sooner than will be
either pleasant. or profitable to the
guilty parties:
"Conpress has adjourned and the vexed
nuestion of u. $. Senator left unsettled
Il was clearly the determination Of certain
men in the Senate of the United States to
keen MI. Pinohback from his seat. That
he was fairly, ~squarely and honestly en-
titled to it, every one knows, and upon
every principle ofjustice and fair play, he
ahould have had it. # the present gov
ernment of this State is the legal govern
rnent IL only hada right to elect q United
States Senator. If it is not the Legal State
government, then it has no right to, exis-
tsnce. Let the opponents Of Mr.: Pinch
back take either horn Of the dilemma,
and they viii be worsted. The secret work,
inos of the csbal, who have fostered and
carried through this outrage. will yet b
brought to light and when that time shall
arrive, we,shan know who have played
false TO their duty and who are untrue to
their party.

Nj. Deslonde is perhaps better aware
than any other republican in Louisiana OF
the sacrifice which I would be ready to
make for the promotion ofharmony in the

He will find IN instance Of my disenter-
ested devotion, in the compromise BY
which he received his nomination for
Secretary Of State.
In conclusion MI. Editor I respectfully
take exceptiont to the allegation Of 'Cr1tic,"
that at q certain meeting in the Fourth
Ward Of this Parish Senator Wharton
declares that he no longer supported
Pinchback for the reason that he did not
consider the letter n republican, and that
I was a silent listener to the declaration.
This allegation is as calumnious as it Is
false. I was at the meeting to which
reference is made.
Mr.. Perkins. Of New Orleans, was also
there. But the person who plays ''Criac'
on its proceedings was not in bodily at
tendance. And had Senator Wharton
uttered a sentiment SO repugnant to my
expressed views and I thought he was IN
dorsed in it by his followers from that
moment I should b. found standing alone,

Last Monday night some cowardly sneak or
sneaks-for the honor Of humanity let Ms hope
there was only one ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS a
series Of outrages in this village that il is
hardly possible to adequately characterize.
The handsome shade trees In front of DIR.
Ayres' premises, corner of Burdick and Wal
nut streets, were girdled and ruined-the same
thing was done at DR.. Babcock's, No. 80 Lo-
Gust street, and at j. A. Peck's, 22 Pine street.
In all the cases the trees stood in the street,
except Eastwood inside the fence at Dr.
Ayres.
This is all that is known OF the transaction
as we go to press. Tuesday morning but the
fact that it Is a mean wanton, dastardly soul
less act, is self-evident. The safety of the COM
munity, the self-respect Of the village, every
sentiment of decency, and every sense of man
hood should be aroused to discover the per-
petrator. The village and the county author.
ties should do all in their power to ferret out
the offender, and this community should re-
fuse to be satisfied until this miscreant is se-
cured. 1t will be an everlasting disgrace to
us that such things can be done. and the doer
go unwhipped of justice. Let us find the one
who did it, and place the blame where it truly
belongs. Then we shall know the cause and
the spirit which inspired it.-Kalamazoo Tel
