WHITES AND BLACKS.

An erroneous impression has obtained in
the minds of many Of our people that in this
State there is an excess of black over the
white population. There can be no greater
error than this. We know it has long been
the boast of the Republicans that the negroes
being in the majority both as to population
and voters, it is nothing but fair and just that
from this fact the lions share of the Offices in
the State, and the control of the Government
should be given to that class of people But
the following exhibit, taken from the census
Of 1870, explodes that idea and destroys one
Of the most powerful arguments of the
enemy.
1t should be borne in mind, too, that at the
taking Of this census it was in the heat of
summer, and at time when thousands of our
white population absent themselves from the
State. 1t is, therefore, not entirely correct in
its figures so far as they relate to the white
population. But in the face Of this fact the
showing is sufficiently satisfactory to warrant
us in congratulating ourselves that Louisiana
does not yet belong to the negro.
Here are the figures

Here now we have, from the above showing,
the fact that, when the census was taken,
there was an excess of blacks and mulattoes
over whites of 3l45 that there was an excess
of white males over females of 1897, that the
excess of black and mulatto females over
black and mulatto males was 6642, and that
the excess of white males over black and
mulattO males was 4247, and that the number
of white males under q years exceeded the
number Of black and mulatto males under p
years 1904. This shows plainly that there
WAS majority of whites in Louisiana at the
time the census was taken.
1t is reasonable to conclude therefore that if
the white people will unite and make the is
sue upon the basis of race, there will be no
whatever in redeeming the State
from the control Of the ignorant negro, and
rescuing the government from the degradation
to which it has been brought by the corrupt
men who have been inflicted upon us by out
side interference, and kept in place by an I'M
friendly national administration.
Let there be, therefore, no hesitation or de-
lay in organizing the white people ali over the
State, and our word for it, the salvation of
Louisiana will be accomplished consum-
nation devoutly to be wished
