1t is said the colored politicians from
New Orleans who are hanging about
Washington to pick up something, threat
en- row if AN attempt is made to carry
the Wheeler compromise into effect.
They ought to have the opportunity to
raise that row without any unreasonable
delay. In the present temper Of the
country, and when the prospect Of adj
Justng the troubles in Louisiana is so
fair, the obstructIonists, coIored or white,
would be disposed Of with less ceremony
than attended the BUSTING of the Kei-
logg administration in September last.

NTeSsrs. Gordon and Lamar In New
Hampshire.

Some of our exchanges say that
Messrs. Gordon and Lamar did harm by
airing their eloquencein New Hampshire,
and at the same time they claim Dem
ocratic victory in that State. This rea-
soning looks a little illogical. At any
rate we think the press is doing them an
Injustice. They visited New Hampshire
at the invitation of prominent Democrats
of that State. * : X We
have no doubt Messrs Gordon and
Lamar accomplished good by their visit.
OF course the Radicals attempted TO neu-
tralize their efforts, but as long rs we
gained one Congressman we sec no reason
to complain. -Vicksburg Monitor.
This is a fair criticism on the invidious
comments that have been made upon
Messrs. Lamar and Gordon's visit to New
Hampshire 1t is reasonable TO suppose
that the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of New Hampshire were better posted
as to the requirements of their cause,
than newspaper writers more than a
thousand miles away. And 1t seems
that the committee did not err in their cal
culation of the good that would result
from the speeches of these distinguished
statesmen and orators of the South. I'm
fortunately for our cause they reached
the State only two days before the cleo
ton. Now mark what followed. 1t is
related by a New Hampshire correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Times (Indepen-
DENT:

Generals Gordon and Lamar spoke the
Democrats made unprecedented gains. 80
it seems that the New England mind is
not to be influenced by appeals to their
passions so much as by arguments ad-
dressed to their understanding.
OF these speeches the Springfield Re
publican, very influential Liberal Re
publican paper, says that "they made
votes for the Democratic candidates is
probable; :" and it argues that they did a
higher work in removing false impress
sons which had been made on the North
ern mind by political partisans who live
on the sectional agitation which is kept
up at the expense of the South.
The effect produced on the election by
their speeches is thus described by the
Washington City Herald Democratic
IF the sincere and eloquent words of
these honest and earnest men pleading
for peace and good will between the sec
tons could have been listened to by
every voter in the Granite State, the re-
suit, must have been, we firmly believe,
an overwhelming Conservative triumph. In
THE DISTRICT WHERE THEIR ADDRESSES
WERE MADE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

This simple announcement of the
practical effect of the visit of our dis
tinguished Southern Representatives
speaks its own eloquent vindication of
their addresses and of the wisdom and
generous inspiration of the committees
under whose auspices they were delivered.

The Pullman Palace Car Company
has given orders to sell berths to every
person, who may apply, regardless OF
color or previous condition.-The Com
pany on the n. 0. St. Louis and Chica-
90 railroad are now acting under these
orders. Now can it be possible that a
Southern white man will patronize that
company under the circumstances; no
gentleman will support an institution of
that sort Let the Pullman Palace Car
Company on the above road, die for
want of patronage.-Exchange.
The foregoing statement is going the
rounds of the press. We are not ap-
priced whether it is correct or not. But
it is proper to state that the n. o. St. L.
& c. r. r. Company have no control
whatever over the Pullman Palace Car
Company They simply draw their cars
as a business transaction, just as they
carry freight, without the right of regu-
ating the sleeping arrangements.

If it be true, as stated that Gov.
Ames intends to appoint to the Office of
Tax Collector the Sheriffs elected by the
people, what practical good for the people
has been effected by the passage of this
law ? What end has been achieved ex-
cept to increase the patronage of the
Governor and to infict a stab at the very
vitals of republican form of govern
ment a?

The meaning of the result in New
Hampshire is thus fairly and impartiallv
given by the Philadelphia Times
The first skirmsh of 1875 scores one
against Grants denomination. while
Grant and Pinchback score one in favor
of bayonet rule down South. Between
the Republican belligerents the honors
are easy, while between Republicans and
Democrats the latter have notice that a
State may be against debauched Repub-
lican rule and yet not be Democratic.
1t is very pointed admonition that the
party that is most wise in 1875 will start
with the inside track in 1876"

The Democratic-C Conservative men,
bers Of the Legislature held a caucus du-
ring the late session, and unanimously
resoluea that IN their opinion it acouId be
inerpedient to hold State Contention of the
party, and that it is advisable for the op-
posers of Radical misrule, in the several
counties, to adopt such plan of canvass
in their respective localities as they may
deem proper JACKSON CLARION.
els there not some mistake in this
statement of our jackson cotemporary
We see nothing of such a resolution in
the proceedings of the meeting of the
Democratic members of the Legislature
held at the Capital OH the Sd inst, and
the resolution cited by the CLARION Is
utterly and hopelessly inconsistent with
those adopted at the meeting referred to-
-Vicksburg Herald.
There was no mistake in our statement
1t is true, and, we supposed, was known
to our usually well posted contemporary.
We do not concur in the opinion that the
expression in regard to a State Conven-
ton, is inconsistent with the action of
the members in declaring that the OPP
posers of Radical misrule should be more
efectually organized than at present
In the estimation of many, the holding
of convention is the least of the steps
necessary to be taken for the achievement
of this end
The Herald adds:
K x If the members who composed
the meeting were really the modest gen
tlemen they professed to be, it strikes us
that they should have withheld their |
unanimous resolve against a convention, |
or they should not have appointed a com
mittee whose action they attempted to
forestall
We can't see the difference There /
could have been no more immodesty in /
an opinion on the particular
question affecting the organization of the
party, than in appointing a committee.
In both cases, they were actuated by the
purest motives and desire to serve the
State. Representing as they did, every
one of them, Democratic and Conserva-
tive constituencies and elected solely with
reference to their political principles,
hey above all others were empowered to
speak and to act in the name of the
Democratic and Conservative voters of the
State. If their opinion in regard to the
holding of a State convention is overruled
Dy the committee, Con which is repre-
,ented all the various divisions of the
oarty) to whom the matter Of organiza-
ion has been confded we are quite sure
he members who selected the committee,
and collectively, will cordial
y acquiesce in their decision. So far as
We are concerned, we are entirely willing
o leave the whole matter to the discre-
ion of the committee, having no plan of
'ur own to set up against the will of those
With whom we are cooperating for the
Ieliverance of our State from misrule.

Disappointed Hopes.

The veteran fanatic William Lloyd
Garrison, in a letter ON the Civil Rights
bill, says:
In the fury already excited at the
South by the bill as enacted, and in the
manner in which it will be set at Defiance
the Administration will soon be made to
see that nothing is gained by compromis-
ing the principles Of justice and equity.
If it had carried Mr.. Summers bill en-
tire (the mixed school, cemetery and
church clauses it would stand on better
vantage ground at the next presidential
election than it can now do.
The venerable agitator who has lived
SO long on sectional hate, together with
the more calculating and malignant dem
agogues who have looked for great har-
vest Of Southern violence from this
measure, is doomed to disappointment.
The "fury excited in the South" is the
offspring of their own deceased minds.
Let them possess their souls in patience,
the South is serene. We hear more
of Civil Rights connection in the North
than anywhere else. For example, wit
ness the affair at Chicago, the partic-
ulars Of which we give on our first page.
