THE FIERY CAVALIER SUBMITS TO THE
YAEKS,

YANKS.
Whether from instructive veneration
for the sentiment of its earlier founders,
or the consummate cunning Of its modern
conductors, We can not tell, but the
Picayune has succumbed and submitted
to the Yank end of the Democratic party
and gives up any Southern pretensions
with grace and humility truly centen-
NAL in spirit.
We doubt if the Picayune be warranted
in this unconditional capitulation. There
is South so imperious that it demands
the restoration of its men in the admins
tration of the Union. There is South
so intolerant that it will not allow q
Northern immigrant to CROSS the line
without giving the shibboleth of Bull
Run. Does that South slumber? It is
apparently awake in its denunciation of
Northern men and ideas. Can it be pos
sible that the South conceals its animosi-
ties and restraints its ambition in order to
gain position from which it can crafty
both? There can be no other explanation
than the last of the Picayune submission
to the Yanks.
Mr.. Tilden is not only Yankee but o
Hebrew. He claims descent from the
Puritans of New England! Hear it, ye
followers of the Pope. Take heed to it,
ye who cherish as an inheritance the
creed of Charles Stuart and his cavaliers.
You are called up to support descend
ant of that people who put the divine
right under foot, and declared the right
of man to worship God according to the
dictates Of his own conscience.
Unless this centennial reformation of
the Maydower has become politically an
impuritan, the cavalier can have no
apology whatever for abandoning the
faith Of his fathers and following a round
head.
The concession made on behalf of the
cavaliers is shameful. The electoral COL
lege consists Of $3.50 members; of this, 1S9
votes are necessary to q choice. The
former slaveholding States have 100 votes,
between thirty-four and forty of which
are in right of negro numbers. If, there
lore, the Yankee end of the ticket can
furnish little more than half the South
ern vote, it may elect the puritanical
President. We pause to admire the gen.
uine Yankee cunning with which Tilden
thus gobbles and gets away with not only
the Confederate, but the entire colored
vote. At this extraordinary point comes
in the unwarrantable surrender and SUBJ
mission of the cavalier. The world will
be astonished. It will be asked why did
not the South demand some recognition
upon the federal ticket? What guarantee
against a Yankee trick? How can it be
that upon an in-put of two-thirds of cleo
toral capital the name of the capitalist has
not been raised in the name and style Of
the concern?
There can be no reply, except what we
have suggested. There is even more
concession. The long session
has nearly ended. The Southern States,
and especially Louisiana, have secured no
recognition at the hands of this Demo
cratic Congress.
Hon. Mr.. Ellis departed for Washington,
that he would make Rome
howl with the woes of down-trodden Louis
lana. He has not been heard from on that
subject. It is no imputation upon him
because Ben Hill, Lamar and their like
have been as silent as a cemetery. The
Senator has been sent home
to Louisiana without recognition or COM
pensation.
The Just demands of Louisiana for
protection against the wild waters of the
West which devastate our fields have been
deferred. The reasonable claim that the
commerce which the land grant railroads
have carried across to Eastern ports
should be at least replaced by q
.rade derived from developed Texas,
aas been passed over. Her noble
mint, located at the great outport
