THAT HISTORIC SHIP"

What is the matter with the Picayune? She
makes mistakes with such reckless rapidity
that it is quite impossible for anybody to take
note of them, and correct the graver ones In
yesterday mornings issue was lengthy and
sensational statement based upon the ARREST
sort of foundation, and in the evening edition
almost a column was devoted to description
and "reminiscences of that g Historic Ship, y
the old Princeton which according to the
Pic is even now to be seen at the foot of En-
ghein street.
There has rarely been committed more
ludicrous mistake, and the town was on a
broad grin about it all last evening
Think of the poor, deluded people, who will
go away down to the foot Of Enghien street to
zee the "historic" ship and tread the deck
upon which Gilmore and Upshur FELL and
on which Stockton and others Of the distin-
guished party assembled February Is, 1874.
Now, let's see what is the history Of the
. historic ship g Princeton" now at the foot
of Enghien street "open for visitors" We
quote from the 8. Record Of American and For
eign Shipping, 1894"
princeton, Capt Robertson, 1349 tons, be-
longing to New York. built at Williamsburg,
L. l., 1848."
Thus it is seen that the g historic ship )" was
not built until four years after the gun explo-
sion.
Somebody has been humbugging the Pic
badly, and we make a note of this in the hope
Of stopping the great crowd of curiosity hunt
ers who would otherwise be plunging down to
Enghien street to see the blood stains upon the
historic deck, which were left there four years
before her keel was laid. No doubt there are
many old salts in this city who can tell where
he ribs Of the genuine g Historic Ship"
Princeton lie bleaching in the sun, or at rest
beneath the waves.

Signor Salvini made his farewell appearance
at the Academy Of Music New York, few
evenings since, and has left for South America
with his dramatic troupe. He introduced
himself in Othello, and babe adieu to New
York in the same role He gave his first per-
Torrance in this country the 10Th of last Sep
TENDER and including twenty-eight perform
ances in Havana, has acted one hundred and
tifty-six times He is said to have taken away
$50, 900 as one result of our North American
tour. He played Othello thirty times Ham
let twenty-five, Sullivan David Garrick) twen-
ty, Samson eighteen, the Gladiator sixteen,
Conrad thirteen, ETC., etc, appearing in quite
a long list Of plays more or less known. The
gross receipts for all his performances
amounted to about s15O,OOO Salvini was
thoroughly conscientious in the practice of
his art. He might have crowded a theatre
night after night in Othello, for instance.
But it was an art instinct and principle with
him not to appear in the same part on two
successive nights, and he would not do it for
any amount of money.

JUDGE BRADLEY'S MANNER ON THE
BENCH.

There was a peculiar solemnity in the deliv
surrounded the enumeration of its well-consid
cred propositions, logic and conclusions thai
4, is almost indescribable. We fear that its mere
perusal hereafter, shorn of that deep and
solemn earnestness bordering on inspiration
which accompanied its pronunciation, will fail
to convey to the reader the full force Of the
constitutional convictions it embodies.
| Never, before, have We heard read de-
cision, fraught with such important conse-
quences to nations permanence delivered in
so mastery and judicial style. His man
ner was calm, and utterly devoid of human
passion, bias or prejudice He ignored, or
ments he was uttering, the intricate constitu-
tional questions he was examining and analys-
ing, and the conclusions he had arrived at
would create, in the minds and hearts of an
oppressed people, monument of gratitude,
more enduring than marble itself There was
childlike modesty with tirmness allied, in
his style of delivery, there wasa towering gran
deur and superiority OF intellect i'll his well
conned sentences, and the logic Of reason,
supporting the Corinthian columns of his ar
guments which made his utterances sound like
inspiration.
Every word seemed apt. and like 'apples Of
gold in pictures of silver" brought out in
grand relieve, the earnest conlusions of the
sincere and deep seated convictions Of heart
that was just and brain that was sound.
Slight as it may be to notice yet there was an
lnimitable grandeur and superiority in the
mode and manner in which, waving his pen
to his colleague. he motioned for the nkstand
to enable him to make some slight correction
in his manuscript, without saying word, but
continuing to read on, his mind absorbed with
the mighty task Of staying the deluge of legal
oppression threatening to submerge his native
land, and to break down all the barriers sepa-
rating us from tyranny. When, before he had
finished some views he was expressing, as to
the certificate Of division OF opinion, he was
interrupted by Mr.. Bcckwith in all unceremo-
NOUS and inappropriate manner, who will ever
forget the sharp, bright twinkle of his gaze as
he said, with great dignity and some fire, Il
am not through, Mr.. Beckwith,' and con-
tinued his remarks with his previous dignity
and calmness2

Mayor Wilt and The st. Louis Bridge
Celebration.
MAYoRALTY OF NEW ORLEANS,

MAYoRALTY OF NEW ORLEANS.
June so, 1874.
Chauncey l. Filley, Esq, Chairman Committee of
Invitation:
Dear SRI have received with pleasure your
invitation to be present at the formal opening by
the President of the United States of the Illinois
and st. Louis bridge, on the 4th OF July next.
Official duties forbid my Observation-Disclosures
should be glad to avail myself Of so interesting
an opportunity to visit St. Louis and to witness an
event which will mark an important era in her
history. Everything that cheapens the carriage
Of Western produce to Eastern and foreign mar
kets, must interest New Orleans in common with
every city, village and farm in the Valley of the
Mississi ,pi.
In TINS connection permit me to express the
hope that, before five years from the opening Of
your great bridge, it may be the privilege of my
successor to invite you and the officers of your
prosperous city to assist his Excellency, the
President of the United States, in formally OPEN
ing canal for the largest grain carrying ships
from the Mississippi River at Fort St. Philip to
the deep waters Of the Gulf Of Mexico
Hoping that your new and beautiful bridge may
fulfil all your expectations and that it may add to
the strength and prosperity of the Republic,
remain yours, very respectfully,
LOUIS A. WILT, Mayor.

THE LABOR CONFLICT NORTH AND
SOUTH.

telegram OF June 90 from Columbus Ohio,
furnishes the information that the coal opera
tors at Straitsville, Ohio, are making a final
attempt to put white miners into their mines,
and that in consequence of the leaders of the
union refusing to allow their men to resume
work at the prices offered, all the mines will
be filled with colored miners by the 4th Of
July. and the white miners will be compelled
to seek work elsewhere. The dispatch further
states that it was reported in Danville, that one
hundred white men desired to resume work,
but were deferred by threats Of violence and
destruction of their property by fire.
There is something Of interest in this to us
of the South who desire more, and especially
intelligent iaborers. Although in thi, in
stance the conflict is not the direct result Of
jealousy between white aud negro labor but
of the refusal OF the leaders of the white labor
ers' union to allow their men to work at less
wages than have been fixed by them. The
coal operators consequently have either to
give the white miners the prices demanded,
or secure the labor Of the negroes at less
wages. IL tluS Suouiu pecoHlt iue GeutFdl
effect ut the North of such attempts to
lower the standard value Of white labor,
by supplanting it with that of negroes,
We of the South are ready to indulge the ex-
pertinent Of the change by inviting the hardy
sons of toll, who NAV be supplanted at the
North by African under-miners, to cast their
lots with us, assuring them that there are wide
and profitable, though different, fields Of use
fulness here before them, and that we are not
disposed to under value their services, but
earnestly desire them, at anything like fair re-
munention, over those of politically deluded
negroes, such as we have in Louisiana and
other States of the South.

THE PICAYUNE ON WHITE LABOR.

The Picay,me is at its old tricks again
Whilst its first page absolutely bristles witt
| sensational descriptions of negro conspirac.
to sack the city and lay violent hands on oul
wives and daughters. the inside column remon
strates against the employment of white labor
ers on the following cogent grounds, to-wit:
After all we don't believe this thing of tax
ing all sorts of work away from the negro will
do, exactly. II you pass along by the new
Hibernia Hall now in course of erection you
will observe sundry stalwart Africans with piles
of bricks upon their heads, skimming up lad
ders in the lightest and most agile style. White
men couldn't do that could they? II you
were to walk under that ladder while white
man was going up with seventeen bricks on
his head. you would very probably go do,cn
with several OF those bricks on uour head. AS
it is, you take your chances, not only with re-
suits of actual immunity but with that calm
confidence of mind and tranquility OF spirit
which your knowledge OF the negro's phreno-
logical formation inspires.
All of which convinces us that there are
certain branches of labor wherein we cannot
dispense with Sambo
We are ready to admit that white carrier
sibly endanger that portion Of the Picay.ne
paragraphist's person in which his mind is
supposed to dwell but We never before
suspected that the feat of carrying bricks up a
ladder was one which none bat ''stalwart Afri-
cans" could successfully perform. Our ex-
perience of New Orleans. not to speak OF other
places too numerous to mention, does not cor
roborate the Picay,ue's remarkable discovery.
All the world over, thousands of people
daily walk under ladders having white men
more or less brick-laden thereupon, without
feeling the want Of that "calm confidence OF
mind and tranquility OF spirit which the
Camp street philosopher only enjoys when
Sambo is at the top. The Picayune's sensa-
tional Fourth OF July story may possibly be
caodrd, but there is SO much stupidity and
ignorance combined with such a degree of AFRO
CANT presumption among our sable politicians,
that it is well to keep close watch on their
and the fact that such preposter-
pus designs may be entertained by them is an
argument against the employ
ment of Africans in ere,y branch of labor, i'll
Ill Of which the services of honest, hard
working white men can be just as easily com
handed as those of the sootiest and most
odoriferous members of the Black League.

We have received great many comm uniea
aons asking us what steps should be taken in
view Of the threats which have been made by
The negroes, and in view of their recent I'M
mistakable and significant rudeness and inso-
lenoe. We repeat what we have said before
organize, and organize at once There can be
no possible objection to being really, and we
happen to know that it is the opinion of lead
ing Radicals that the whites should organize
In conversation yesterday with prominent
leader on the other side, he frankly avowed
his opinion that the situation was grave, and
that the white people should organize for de-
tensive purposes. He alluded to the militia
and ssid that the negroes, seeing no counter
organization, were inclined to think they held
The balance of power and were becoming in
xuderabiy arrogant and insulting.
He WAS right. and proved that he holds the
lives Of the white people Of the State as worth
more than the success of his party. II is our
serious opinion that every white man should
yrovide himself with an arm of some descrip-
lion. and join at once an organization which
will be in readiness, at moments warning.
70 act upon the defensive, or to suppress riots
that may get beyond the power of the police.
