WHAT RBPUBLIoANIsM has ACCOM-
PLIsHED IN LOUISIANA.

One of the main objects of the
Republican party has always been
the recognition of the political
equality of all the citizens of the
United States regardless of race
differences. To lead the colored
people of the country on to "equali-
ty, respectability and prosperity"
in spite of the prejudices of our
Coolest and best citizens; to see
that the cOlored people have not
only " a fair proportion of the polit-
ical patronage but also a liberal
representation in our commercial
pursuits; for this reason have Re-
publicans worked with pen and
voice and vote; considering these
advantages not favors accorded by q
superior race and a ruling class, but
rights belonging to colored men as
men and as citizens. And now, after
years of exertion in the cause of
justice and humanity, the Republic
can party of Louisiana receives the
reward of its labors in the CONVEX
sion to its principles of that large,
respectable, intelligent and public
spirit class represented in the adj
dress of the Citizens Conservative
Association, which viii be found
published in another column. If the
very strong and pointed language Of
this address be intended in all its
significance; if the influential men
composing this association are
earnest in their invitation to those
whom they address as:their "colored
friends" and truly intend to act
towards them in accordance with
Republican principles, and, recog-
nizing that their "interests are one
and the same,p to share equitably
with them "politieal patronage. ,,
and allow them ga liberal represen-
tation in commercial pursuits "-ii
all this be indeed soft the colored
people are satisfied that it is So
then has the Republican party Of
this State accomplished its mission
Strengthened by 80 valuable an ac-
eession it must be all powerful and

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.

The members of this famous com
mittee seem to have received rough
usage in the late election. Potter,
Of New York, Stenger of Pennsyl-
vania, and Ben. F. Butler, of Massa-
chusetts, have all been buried under
majorities more or less satisfactory;
and there are other districts to hear
from. One member, Hiscock, a Re-
publican, is safe. He has been re-
elected. eng
With all their political hopes thus
blasted, it is not likely that the three
men who made themselves specially
disagreeable, will hereafter feelmuch
in the humor to put forth their en-
ergies during the coming session.
They had better initiate the late
Senator BOgy, who was one of the
members of Senate investigating
committee in Louisiana affairs. This
successor of Thomas II. Benton COM
piled afidaYits enough to make about
one thousand pages, had it printed
at the expense of the government,
and thus made a book which nobody
ever read or ever win read. Let the
Potter committee compile a book.

races be likewise mutually acknowl-
edged, it follows that colored men
may form such political organiza-
tions as in their opinion are most
likely to conduce to the welfare of
the commonwealth; and will be pro-
tected in so doing, not only by the
laws Federal and State, but by pub
lie opinion. For, unquestionably
men of the position and influence
which distinguish the members of
the Citizens Association, will have
the power, by the simple weight of
their character if not otherwise, to
enforce their views, either directly
or by SO molding the opinions of
their fellow citizens that justice shall
become popular. 1t matters little
then whether the Republican party
still bears the same name or carries
ont its principles under new one.
1t matters little whether the respect
able gentlemen who have under
taken, under the name of Citizens
Association to put in practice Re-
publican principles, shall retain the
name adopted for the present cam
paign or select another; whether
they shall act as our allies or join US
as converts; we have their word,
their pledge, that Republican princi-
pies are henceforth to be the rule o.
their political conduct; and with
such an assurance, Notwithstanding
the result of the recent election, the
triumph of Republicanism in this
State is secured.

most limits; stretched them at last
beyond the endurance Of the public.
Accordingly we now see disrup-
ton in the Democratic ranks. Men
of high standing and irreproa enable
character, driven from their digni-
fed political Incidence. have entered
the arena; and, disgusted with the
corruption and intolerance of Demo-
cratic rule, have boldly adopted as
watchwOrds some of the principles
of Republicanism-(See the address
of the Citizens Association offer
ing to their colored fellow citizens as
privileges all that Republicans have
ever claimed for them as rights; ed
vocational and business facilities, po-
litical equality-and, most precious
of all to the full blooded American,
share in political patronage.
Thus it appears that if the Repub-
lican party of Louisiana is dead as
a political organization, its spirit
still lives; and the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN, which has always fos-
tered this spirit, in its last moments,
has the proud consciousness that its
life work has not been wholly in
vain. Nevertheless, though the
spirit Of Republicanism in Louisiana
may still live, its defunct body must
be decently disposed of. We there
fore suggest to the representative
Republican authorities of the State
the propriety of performing its OBJ
sequies; in other words of calling a
convention to agree upon and an
nounce the formal disbandment of
the party. This, with an address to
the American people setting forth
its causes, will contribute far more
to the aid of the Republican cause at
the North than any number of bloody
shirts. 1t will furnish evidence not
of single and secret murders, not of
massacres of occasional groups, but
of the absolute humiliation of the
rights of a whole people.
To our colored friends for whose
interests we have so long and SO
earnestly labOred, we would say that
their advan cement in material pros
perity and in the respect and con-
sideration of their white fellow
citizens will be in exact proportion
to their advancement in honesty, So
briefly and intelligence-indispen-
sable qualities of good citizenship.
In conclusion we would tender to
our contemporaries of the press our
Acknowledgements of the courtesy
which, with a few exceptions, we
have received at their hands; and
express to the able and jealous corps
of editorial writer's and reporters
who have so efficiently seconded our
exertions, our most hearty thanks.

FROM QUlL-E-UT

Our friends, and the outside world
generally, who hear so little from the
above named place, will be pleased
to note the following items which
reached US this week:
~ saw county map of Washington
Territory with Quillyhule County desig-
mated. Its officers are absent, and | can't
find the records. If it is economy in
Chl|am County, and saving OF ink, to
| spell the name "Clalm," as | saw it in Il
tax receipt, woull propose to spell the
name Of this place "Quil-e-ut," as these
letters contain Ill the elements Of the
name.
Our present white population is twenty
six. We have an interesting Sabbath
School, organized April 81, 1873. Camas,
lupin, lilies and variety Of wild flow
ers bloom abundantly. Mr.. John Suther-
land, from Freshwater Bay, was with us
in June. He has been south, on the coast,
in search of large prairie that is said to
lie not tar south from here. but the exist
ence of which is said to be kept secret
by the Indians for fear the "Bostons'
will occupy the saue and cut them out of
valuable camas land and rich hunting
ground. lie says there is no such prairie,
but states there are several small prairics
Oh the Quileut. principally covered with
fern, some wild grass, red and white Glow
er, and timothy. Also that he saw bottom
land, covered with alder aud vine-lnaple,
as rich as any land in this territory
Game is abundant. lie says that gold
abounls in the Quileut river aud its tribu-
taries, and thinks it will be found in pay
Ing quantities. Mr. McCulIum says that
he has taken gold from some of the bars
in the river. Mr. Fisher, an old miner,
says he believes that gold exists in the vi
cinlty of Mt. Olympic. on the head waters
OF the Quileut. Mr.. Sutherland is an ex-
pcricnced miner, hunter and trapper, and
thinks it will pay to pitch his tent here in
the fail. He will be welcomed by the sell
tiers, as wolves, panthers aud bears have
made some irroads on young stock and
hogs. Mr.. Balrh lost some tiae hogs in
july, and Gus, to get revenge. killed two
bears and a wolf. The bears were tat.
Gus. thinks one would weigh $50 pounds.
Mr.. Pullen says there are more bears here;
that they are trespassing in his grain.
The Pullen Brothers have over 1000
lbs. of elk skins on hand, some deer, bear
aud other peltry. The crops OF the Quill
cut valley promise rich reward. Some
fields have oats and timothy six feet
high; and. on the bottom land. seven feet,
The straw is large, strong and heavily
loaded. Potatoes are large and excel
lent crop. Wheat promises good yield.
A small, portable Srist mill has been Or
derud TO meet the present demand, but a
larger mill must of necessity soon be
sent tor.
All the settlers are taking steps in the
right direction to obtain fruit. Young |
trees were in bloom last Spring, but ow-
ING to the late frost which prevailed all
over the Union there will be but little
fruit this year. Strawberries. raspber-
