WARMOTH REDIvIvUS.

Miracles will never cease. After tn
"Chittenden Spirits" I see, through the I'M
expected channel of the BULLETIN, that an
other evil apparition has been summoned
from 'the vastly Deep and now "squeak
and gibbers" in your columns about what h
calls "social equality" This new Lazarus
unlike his prototype, was not brought bacl
from the tomb, in which we all thought h,
was safely laid up for ultimate judgment, b,
the great Savior Of mankind. I rather sus
pect the "Prince of Darkness had some
thing to do with the matter. At all events
the bold bad man who, to Louisiana, has beer

''The direful spring,
OF woes unnumbered." - e.5
| The originator and successful promoter Of
every abuse, violation of law and legalized
robbery under which our State now lies bleed
ing, is anxious to show to his quondam VIC
tims-the people Of Louisiana-that he Is
not politically dead, but that, Like his CON-
gener, the rattlesnake. he was only coiled mp
in the cold, waiting for the first warm spell to
sally out from his shiny retfeat y" seeking
whom to deyOur." viii ye Hl
"Social equality" then, is what the ex-
Radical Lazarus pretends to be after just now.
We say 'pretends, because when he enjoyed
his il-gotten power as Governor he never
paid any attention to the respectable class Of
colored men, and only showered his official
favors on those who had been thoroughly we'll
drilled in the Republican manual of ':Addi-
ton, Division and Silence" His associates
and s.pals' during his fatal lease Of power
were mostly white men ''of easy virtue" like
himself, and the robberies Of Packard,
Clinton 4 Co., outrageous as they are,
shrink into insignifcance when compared
with the scientific manipulating of the State
and city finances by the Warmoth Ring.
That man with such an infamous record
should again court nOtoriety by parading his
"views in the newspapers of the very State
whose inhabitants he has so powerfully con-
tributed to bring to bankruptcy and irretriev-
able ruin, is one of the most extraordinary
exhibitions Of " cheek on record.
But dropping the unsavory subject, let me
ask Of the deluded men who are instigated by
such despicable demagogues to clamor for an
impossible equality, whether they are pre-
pared to accept the logical consequences Of
their idiotic demand. # colored man can
be authorized by Legislative enactment to
walk into my premises and compel me to re- !
ceive him as a guest if run hotel, thea
ter, or coffee-house at my own individual |
risk and expense, there is no earthly reason |
why legislation should stop then and there,
and not prescribe to me what particular plays
[ shall perform, what viands and Liquors 1 |
shall set before my customer and what prices
shall charge tor the same. III
1 see no excuse for our Radical Legislators
stopping halfway, and not making it . penal
ofense for white people to decline inviting s.la-
lies and gemmen of color" to their private en-
;ertainments and social parties in fact for
heir not proclaiming at once that white men
md women have no rights which the negro and
MS degraded white associates are bound to re- +
'pect In every civilized country that know
If, and more particularly in the Northern
States Of this Union, the right of every man
Engaged in business to regulate the same as
o him seems best, and to reject the patronage
4 such people as he does not wish to trade
With, has never been impugned. We're I
be keeper OF a tirst-class hotel in
lew York, or Boston, for j instance,
would certainly refuse to entertain, such
len as Warmoth, Packard, Lowell, Kellogg J

God name Of my house, and to show decent !
sgard for the responsibility Of my guests Q
hat such people should enjoy social and +
ersonal affiliations with persons Of different I
Dior, but of similar tastes and habits, is what :
