securing ho4tes in Florida this winter than al

OF State officials chosen by the people, pledged
to an honest and economical adminisiration
seems already to have placed Florida on the
highway to prosperity.

Gov. Nichols. in the appoint
ment of MI. Pinchback rs a mem
ber.of the State Board of Education,
shows his determination to carry
ou6 to the letter the programme he
announced at the Baton Rouge
Convention. No one can doubt Mr..
Pinchback's Republicanism nor his
persistent Observation-Disclosures
and rights of the colored people of
the State. His appointment to a
body charged with so many respon-
sible duties is valid evidence of
Gov. Nichols sincerity of desire to
treat all citizens of the State alike,
and to assure the colored people
that their children's educational
claims shall be fully cared for.

truth, it seemed to be the desire of
Senators to demonstrate, by. their
kindly and c%onsiderate treatment
Of him. their anxiety to establish
friendly relations between the white
and colored people.
Notwithstanding this treatment
and his denunciation Of Packard
and his crew-whom he declared
unworthy of his association, on last
Wednesday he returned to their
loving embrace and we are told was
received by them with shouts OF
Joyous acclaim. We know not which
is entitled to he held in the greatest
contempt, Demas for his pusillani-
nous conduct or the men who
received him back with open arms
after he had both deserted and
denounced them. To the curious it
will ever be a matter of inquiry as
to what produced this sndden and
extraor binary donble sommersault
10y this acrohatic colored legislator.
To us there is but one sad feature
inthis remarkable performance. 1t
may be seized upon by the enemies
of the race and used to our detri,
ment. 1t gives coloring to the char
sc that no negro q be trusted.

THE COMMISSION.
CFrom the n. O. New Delta.

Ex-Governor John G. Brown of
Tennessee, was y member OF the
Wing party in 1860, and supported
Bell aud Everett. He was Major
General in the Confederate service.
In 1870 he was president OF the
Tennessee constitutional conven-
ton. He was elected Governor in
1870; was reelected in 1872, serving
until 1874. He was a delegate to
the st. Louis Convention and
earnestly supported Mr.. Tilden in
the late political campaign. He is
now one of the vice presidents OF
the Texas Pacific Railroad Com
pany.
Judge G. B. Lawrence, Of Chica-
20, was formerly Chief Jnstice of
illinois. He has had nothing to
do with politics and his course will
be apt to be more that Of the judge
than of the partisan.
Hon. Wayne Nc Weigh, Of
Pennsylvania, is connected by
marriage with the Cameron family.
He is II moderate or liberal Rcpubll-
can0 pontics, and has q settled
reputation for integrity of character
and impartiality and independence
of mind...
Hon. Jno. NJ. Harlan, of kentucky,
is a Bristow man, and is claimed to
he fair and liberal in his views on
Southern questions.
Hon. JOS. Il. Hawley,o of Connect.
cut, is. a Republican Of decided
stamp; still he voted, when in Con
gress, against the Force bill.
The composite character of the
Commission is like that of Mr..
Hayes cabinet-political extremes
being n%entralized by mixture OF
mOderateS.

from the n. O. Louisianian.

The return of Senator Demas to
the Packard Senate has no sign
ificarce except to establish the
utter unrel:ability and want of
integrity in the class of colored
men who have come to the front in
the past few years in this State,
and illustrate forcibly the necessity
of q complete change in the repre-
Untatives Of the people.
It will be remembered that when
MI. Demas abandoned the Packard
Legislature and took his seat in the
Nichols Senate, he made a personal
explanation in which he dec1aSed !:
AI come here beause l believe this
is the only legal Senate in this State
and because l can better represent
my people here according to their
wishes, for the restoration OF peace
and harmony between the races. It
isfolly to talk ofthe st. Louis Hotel
Legislature, because 1t IS 40 Iegisla-
tave and has no Jurisdiction ontside
Of one little room IN the Hotel"
Referring to the carpet-baggers he
said that they were the first to
strike down any colored man who
did not obey their orders, and that
the colored men had gained nothing
by the association Of those men,"
The LOaisiaskam, fully c%oncurring
with Mr.. Demass took occasion to
compliment him upon his manly
action and predicted for him y
bright future, a future full of honors
received from q grateful people.
That We we're right was evidenced
in the treatment he received from
both his immediate constituents
and his colleagues in the Nichols
Senate. Never in the history of
Louisiana has such Difference been
shown fo any man, wi.ifa Of 1pIIgrstl.

M. ALLAN, the cOlOred Senat-
or from West Baton Rouge, has left
NJ. Packard and his hospital. and
gone to the legal Senate of Loui-
siana. =
Such has been the speach of Mr..
Allan. before taking his seat:
Mr.. Presideat:-I am here to-day
in obedience to the best dictates of
my conscience, believing as | do, that
the time has come when the white
and colored people Of Louisiana
should unite to bring about peace
and prosperity::to the State.
am here today to cooperate
with you to bring about that good
feeling which has been so long
wanting to establish the well being
of this community not as Il Demo
crat, but as a Republican, represent
ing, as l do, the best Republican
district in the State.
3 , Mr.. President. what has
actuated me the most is the coming
of the commission appointed by the
President of the United States. At
the bottom of this commission lies
another compromise for Louisiana;
and l for one am Of opinion that it
will do the colo1ed people no good
in the future to allow a delegation
of Northern gentlemen to come here
at this late hour and make a CON-
promise for us.
Therefore, in advance of the
arrival OF the commission, | have
come here to take my seat in this
Senate, the legal Senate, and to
recognize the Government of Gov.
Nichols, which is planted and
firmly established, to gNtern the
destinies or une people OF louisiana
for four years to come.
What I ask for my people is that
your government put in practice
the inestimable language and pro-
misses of Gov. Nichols, delivered at
the Baton Rouge Convention in
1876. Give us broad and civilliberty.
DO that Mr.. President, and if |
doubted the sincerity Of Gov.
Nicholls's kind treatment towards
the colored people, l would not have
been here to-day.
Now Mr.. President, in conclusion,
l ask you as Lieutenant Governor
Of this State to use your influence
to restore to liberty those poor
illiterate and deluded colored men
who are now in the Parish Prison
without the privilege of bail, for
organizing a militia against the Sta
te Government. Give them general
amnesty, Mr.. President, and send
them to their distressed wives and
children. That will he the browning
act of your administration; it will
show that bygones are bygones, and
that it will not be long before Loui-
siana will rise like a phoenix from
among the ashes, like the pelican
feeding her young from her bosom
will give nourishment to perhaps
millions of her children, and when
other States have vanished from
our constellation, Louisiana will
loom up as the most glorious planet
of them all.n

The New York Tribune is greatly
troubled in mind. 1t believes it has dis.
covered in the proposed convention of all
the governors a gigantic conspiracy to
kill Thorn of, and puts in as evidence a
part of the programme they are expected
to go through 1t is announced that all
the governors have promised to attend.
The first meeting is to be at philadel-
phia on August %, the second at New
York few days later, and the last at Bos.
ton. In Philadelphia there is to be grand
banquet at Independence Hall. which is.
we are told, =" to be perfectly American
the food cooked in American STYLE and the
table set with American wares" This is
the first attack upon the Gubernatorial
stomach. At New-York the conspiracy
begins TO be disclosed. The grand din
ner is to be altogether foreign, comprising
dishes, cooking, etc., after the STYLE Of
foreign countries. Not one country.
mind you, but all of them. Those who
survive this attack are expected to be
finished by the Boston feast, which is to
comprise American and foreign material"
The whole idea is that the first is to rep
resent home; the second, our foreign rela
tons the third. America and the rest of
the world combined" The question is,
what will the Gubernatorial stomach "rep-
resent" at the close OF the performance? If
there is survivor of the Boston conglom-
Grafton, be will be taken to Rhode Island
and finished with clambake."
