U EXCHANGES.

OUR EXCHANGES.
The st Charles Herald Is commend
ably complimentary on denomination
ofex-Gov. Hahn. It says:
.sWe are glad to learn that At The
solicitation of many citizens ex-Goy-
ern Hahn, who has SO faithfully
and so ably represented this parish in
the last Legislature, has consented to
serve in the same capacity. This lis
good news for the Republican party
and the people Of this parish, and we
are in hopes that our distinguished
Representative msy be renominated
and elected with out opposition. The
next Legislature will embrace among
its members many OF the most
prominent, able and eloquent Demo-
Gratis in the State, and it IS no more
than right and proper that the Repub-
lican party should have some of its
ablest men there to combat and answer
the enemies of equal rights. With
Governor Hahn in the Legislature,
our parish, the Republican party and
the people will be represented in a
manner to give general satisfaction.
Let us, therefore, give him a unani-
NOUS vote"
The Grand Era thus scores our
White League contemporary, the
Bulletin, relative to some of the last
named papers usual abuse OF col
ored leaders: T.
"That Gov. Antoine is q colored
man is no secret, but the editor of
the Bulletin has no more right to
taunt him about his color, and the
shape Of his head, than Gov. An
tome would have in taunting the edi-
tor Of the Bulletin about his color
and tho peculiar shape of his legs.
It is no fault Of Gov. Antoine that
he is colored, nor that the particu-
lar shape Of his head does not come
up to the strict sense of shapeliness
called for by the Caucasian editor
of the Bulletin; al, in the Same
sense, the latter is not to blame that
his legs are not rs shapoly' as are
Gov. Antoine's and if they do not
come up to the high standard Of
shapeliness laid down by Dio Lewis
Gov. Antoine should not twit the
editor of the Bulletin about it, for it
must be remembered, that God gave
Gov. Antoine his color, and the
editor of the Bulletin his legs, SO
let the pot stop calling the kctas
black"
The Louisiana State Reyister,
whose straightforward, manly
course We have had frequent occa-
sion to admire, utters the following
warning to our people in Jefferson.
sour friendship for the colored
people docs not entitle us to any
prominent position as an ad wiser Of
that class Of people. We have
never made any excessive demon
STATIONS of affection in favor of the
blacks, and to be candid, we never
expect to. We feel that when we
advocate equal and exact justice for
all men, regardless Of color, we are
doing our duty, as an editor and q
citizen. We have no object in az
raging the colored people against
the whites, orthe whites against tho
colored. Let each class Get honest
II and squarely towards each other,
and there will be no cause for
trouble While wa have always
supported Senator Pinchback, and
insisted on his right to q seat in the
Senate, it has not been on account
of his color, but because he was the
choice of the party that elected him.
We have never had any aA6liation
with the efforts to keep him out o,
the Senate because he is not q white
man, but have always denounced
such anti-republican action. Now
we HAYES word of warning to the
colored people, that they will do to
heed, not as black men, but as re.
publicans. Through the influence
of the State administration, Lowell
has been nominated in the parish
OF Jefferson for the legislature
This will be the overthrow Of Sena.
