THE CIVIL G. II DEMON

In CQ0 b0l00CT0 american,

an exceedingly graphic and inter
esting account of the Civil Bight&
Demonstration made in that city
by our people, and transfer the
same to our columns for the edit.
cation and encouragement of ou1
readers. Judging from the con-
densed report Of the speeches made
on that occasion by Messrs. Pinch
back, Ransier, Rainey, Cain and
Lynch, the addresses were unusu-
ally full, satisfactory, and forcible
calculations Of the question of Civil
Rights.
The broad and philosophical
views. expressed by Gov. Pinchback,
on this occasion, claim not only the
attention of his own race, but chal-
lenge honorable and frank consid-

the Civil Rights bill. At q period,
when q few envious and mean
spirited white adventurers, aspiring
to be leaders in the Republican
party in Louisiana and elsewhere,
are attempting, by treacherous,
secret assaults to keep this gentle
man from his Senatorial seat, and
to destroy his influence and pres

Mr.. President, Friends and Fellow
Citizens:
It is true that we r at present I'M
mixed with. the turmoil and anxietiei
attendant upon an election, and the
time is yet in the far distance when
you will be called upon to express
your opinions at the ballot-box, yet il
affords me the greatest pleasure "a
meet you here to-day, and have some
conversation on the current topics ol
the day.
We find that the progress Of Repub.
icanism is onward and forward.
Those who formerly were foremost in
denouncing our Federal and State Ad.
ministration have had the opportunity
of considering whether their previously
formed opinions were well founded, OF
whether they were based upon preju.
dice or iMiberality. Many, very many
Of this class have investigated the sub
ject with minds determined to do JUS
tioe to themselves and to Us, and they
have come to the conclusion that Re-
publicanism is founded. on the eternal
principles Of Truth. and Justice. and
while they may haYe yielded . tandy
assent. TO our views. they have ut
length, yielded to conviction, and
having gracefully joined our ranks,
have become our ardent supporters
F, To begin with the greatest in point
of rank, let us review the course pur-
sued by President Grant, not since he
was placed at the helm II publicafhirs,
but since the 4th Of March; 1879. In
his inaugural address that day, he
said: H.8.s-.@ ;
!. cit has been my endeavor in the
past to maintain 81 the laws, and so
far as lay in my power, to act for the
best interests Of the whole people.
Ny best efforts win be given il the
same direction in the future, aided, Fl
trust, BY my four years experience IN
office" - |
How we'll General Grant has full
aIled his pledge is before the country,
md requires no panegyric from my
Ups.
Under this administration he has
commanded the respect Of foreign ma
ions; he has effected an amicable set
cement Of our claims against England
or depredations committed against
,ur commerce during the rebellion;
,ur commerce has revived; our taxa
ion has been greatly reduced. Il Is

as to how mch prosperity has

and shades Of opinion-he necessit,
for . better government in Louisiana
j conceded; and the conviction
expressed that the election Of No
vember will place in Office more
competent and conscientious men,
than have heretofore, oft times,
served the people in the last de-
cade Of years, as either makers OF
administrators Of the laws. This
desirable condition Of things may
be brought about by the citizens Of
Louisiana, Republican and Demo-
cratic, without in6delity to their
respective parties, or their political
convictions Each should nominate
and vote for the best men in their
ranks for Office; and any party that
is derelict, in this direction, will
find that even an immediate sue
oess-achieved in violation Of neg
lect Of this first duty Of citizenship
a judicious and honest choice of
rulers-wM bring an ultimate de-
feat. A direct defeat, incurred on
the merits of political convictions,
when the same are represented by
honest and competent men, is bet
ter for the party finally, and iu-
finitely better for the country, than
a nominal party success, that re-
suits simply in the elevation to
Office, Of the corrupt demagogue
who would use his power when in
position, for personal selfshness,
to betray not only his party, but
outrage the citizens. We mean to
soy that at this juncture, in the
financial and political embarrass-
ments of Louisiana, not only as a
patriot but as q Republican parti-
san, good men and true in Office,
white and colored, are a necessity;
and we know Of no emergency that
will justify the citizen, Of either
party, in relaxing effort to accom-
plish this result. This effort we
repeat is consistent with party pre-
ferences and party obligations but
at the same time is far above and
superior to them. More than at
any time since reconstruction is it
necessary that we, for our protec-
ton, watch the political rings, in
side and outside the Republican
and fight not only the COM
mon political foe but the dema-
gogues in our own ranks.
It is q mistake and au outrage to
hold the honest Masses who con-
the sufragans of the State,
responsible for. the bad
government, past or present, that
has afflicted us. They have neither
or interests to be sub
by the maladministration Of
the affairs Of State; nor can either
the white Or colored race be
charged with political incompetency
and dishonesty because each have

the present or an equally deplorable
condition Of things occur and con.
tinue to exist, SO long as the honest,
competent voters fail either to be
interested in or to manage their own
political affairs. The remedy TO-
our ills is to be found in the hands
Of the people Of both races, and
each of the great parties; and their
deliverance will come, not by grum-
bling, but by actively and resolutely
selecting the best men for Office,
and vigorously laboring to elect the
same, after. they sha]l have been
nominated. -.
The political philosophy that pro-
ceeds upon the assumption that the
masses, white or colored, Republi-
can or Democratic, are ethics cor
rupt or incompetent, is vicious in
the extreme, and will breed only

VI an accident which took place et an
early hour yesterday morning in the

the case, by the disobedience of express
orders, the Virginia Chronicle of last

36 years, will lose his life. Holland and

subject Of Electricity when he will intro
ducc some new experiments and make

Christmas Tree.

The Christmas Tree at the n E. Church
last Thursday evening was voted grand
success by all present. Long before
time for the exercises to commence the
large Church was filled to overdowing,
and little later it was almost impossible
10 find standing room. The exercises
were opened with singing, followed by
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Childs. Another
piece was then sung, after which Rev.
Robertson made few remarks, when the
distribution of presents took place. These
were very numerous and some quite
valuable. There were many happy sur
priscs, and We understand but few dis
appointments Those present, children
and all, seemed to enjoy themselves to
the fullest extent, and everybody went
home feeling that the whole affair had
been happy and merry gathering.
