The a;vorla
FOR 1879.

On the LIST of May. 1876, tho owner
ship and control Of The WORLD passed
into the hands of the undersigned, I'M
der whose absolute and untrammelled
direction THE World has ever since re-
NAMED and now remains.
During the whole OF this time The
WORLD has labofed patiently and perse-
veringly for the accomplishment of two
great objects in politics Of paramount in
terest to the Southern people.
l. The restoration Of local self-gov-
eminent at the South.
2. A real reform Of the Civil Service,
in such wise rs to destroy the political
machines ander the operation Of which
it has come to pass that the people are
taxed to support political parties, where
as political parties have 40 other reason
Of being ex cept To lessen the burdens OF
government
The first of these objects has been tri-
umphantly accomplished. All intelli-
gent Northern men now admit that all
parts of the country were RI deeply in
terested as the South in seeing it won.
A corrupt and anti Democratic govern
nent in the south WAS permanent peril
to the ascendancy of true American
principles in the Federal Government
and therefore to the peace and honor Of
the whole people.
The second political object for which
The WORLD contends still remains to be
fully achieved. The actual Administra-
| ton began its career with excellent
promises in this direction of which it is
| sufficient to say that they have been rs
vet only in part redeemed. The WORLD
| for its part will resolutely support any
honest effort TO redeem these promises
fully, by whomsoever made, aud will
as resolutely denounce every obstacle
thrown in the way Of redeenling them
from whatever quarter.
| 1t seems to the undersigned eminent
| ly proper that he should ask the CO.
operation Of the best mel of the South
with The WORLD in its efforts to carry
out the policy here outlined. He be-
| lieves The WORLD to be a paper which
| Southern citizens aud Democrats can
recommend to Southern readers as an
influence worthy and important TO be
brought TO bear with constantly increas-
ing power upon the conduct of our ma
tional affairs. in the interest of truth, OF
! Justice and of hamony among our peo-
pie OF AL sections.
1t is my desire to keep TEE WoRLD in
living relation with the best thought
of the south, to the end th.t the best
ideas. wishes and feelings Of the South
ern people May be clearly and fairly
mad. known To the North, the East and
the West. Alike In private aud IL pub
lie affairs, the Misunderstanding OF men
by Que another lies ut the root of 50
much evil that the word itself has come
to be synonym with quarrcling and
strife. 1t was Il wise saying of Lord
Elgin, at the time of one of our sharpes,
disputes with Great Britain, that two
intelligent gentiemcn alone on a Taft in
the Atlantic with plenary powers could
adjust the whoic matter honorably in
an hour.
The WORLD simply asks lis friends al
the South to aid it in bringing about Il
complete meeting Of minus Va, all pub.
lie questions between the intelligcn,
citizens of all parts OF the Union.

fail, the government might be run
till fall without great embarrass-
ment, but if all fail session must
be called in April or May. Now if
there is to be an extra session, the
Democrats and Greenbackers want
it early, the former because they
want control of the Senate patron
age as soon as possible, the latter
because they expect to get some
patronage in the House, and fur
thermore they want an opportu-
nifty to make political capital for
next fall.
The Senate yesterday in consid-
ering the bill 70 provide means for
paying the arrears of pension I'M
der the late act, administered d
signal rebuke to the commissioner
of pensions. That officer, who
seems desirons 10 consolidate under
his control not only the business
of adjudging, auditing and paying
the pensioners, but the agency and
attorney business also, had asked
for an amendment allowing him to
appoint about one hundred and
fifty officers in different parts OF
the country to carry out his views.
The Senate by very strong vote
rejected this measure. In fact
this officer has been rebuked in so
many ways of late that, it is ru-
mored, he will resign before long,
but I do not credit this for be is
not one of the resigning sort, and
will stand good many snubs for
IA consideration. ADAMS.

AN DDRESS

To The Colored Voters of the Parish
of Grant
I wish to speak to you before
you cast your vote for a man to
represent you in the formation of
a State constitution. / do not
think should have said one word
to yon but for the reason that I
hear your party is trying to bull
doze you and make you believe q
lie.
It is generally conceded that the
position of being delegate should
not be made strictly party one,
and that being the case now ia the
best time to come over and vote
with US Democrats, the lest friends
you will ever have. We can not,
no, never, go to you. To US you
must and will come. and in many
parishes have already come. We
have the responsibility, the intelli-
gence, own the property, pay the
taxes, support the government,
and, just as certain as two ard two
make four, are going to control
this country, and the sooner you
come to US the more credit you are
entitled to for your good sense.
You are called Republicans, but
40 long as You are led by one man
and vote as he dictates you are
worthy OF no such name. Repub-
licanism and Democracy means
one and the same thing, freedom of
thought, action and speech. You
do not act in that way.and the very
man that votes you, no doubt,
laughs in his sleeve at the manner
in which he uses you to carry out
his own selfish designs, and is even
accused of being ashamed to meet
you in convention in day time.
Colored voters, Mr.. Goodwin, the
CHRONICLE man, is right when be
tells you there is q scheme on foot
to disfranchise you, but it will be
no 90, and, so far as know, ha.
never been spoken of except by the
Radicals themselves, who lave
failed to control the colored vote;
but we Democrats will show them
better than that, for We cannot,
will not, do without your represen-
tation in Congress, and if any one
has intimated to you by word OF
action that convention bad any
such thing for its object he is
either very ignorant or has lied,
as the statement carries falsehood
or meanness upon its face. Every
intelligent man knows it would be
in conflict with the law of the
United States government.
All that l now have to say to
Won is, to demand your freedom,
take your votes rights out OF Mr.
Meningitis vest pocket, show your
faces, 60 to the polls like freemen
who think for themselves and act
accordingly and vote with your
best friends, the Democrats, and
we will treat you well, give you all
privileges under the law, make Of
YOU the best citizens we can, and
guarantee there will be no disfran'
chising. as You no doubt have been
led to believe by designing men IN
order to carry out their selfish de-
signs. n WILLIAMS

the house yesterday were the vote
to disagree With the Senate amend
meDts to the postoffice bill, iuclud-
ing that establishing mail steam.
ship lines to Brazil, and the vote
to release from custody Geo. +.
Seward, Consul General to China,
who had been arrested because he
would not expose hls accounts TO
an investigating committee, and
the reference of his case to the
Judiciary Committee. The post
Office bill now goes to n conference
committee. where an effort will be
made to reconcile differences on the
Brazil clause by reducing the time
of the contract or the rate allowed.
As to the matter of Mr. Seward,
the close of the session is SO near
that the action yesterday is vir
tual triumph, since he cannot be
held beyond the life of this Con-
gress.
One party after another gets
comfort from the Potter Investigat-
ing Committee. Three weeks ago
cert lin prominent Democrats were
confessing their sins to the COM
mittee in New York and now vari-
Gus Republicans are exposing the
failures of their party. Gen. Bar
low Republican who went to
Florida at the request of Gen.
Grant, in 1875, "p see fair
count" says "a fair count" would
have given the State to Tilden.
He swore on Tuesday that such
was his belief. Yesterday prom
inent Louisiana official, whose Of
fee came from President Hayes,
says that it was the understanding
among Republican leaders, in the
fall of 1876, that the vote of the
State Was for sale by the Return
ing Board. He says, however,
that, SO far us he knows, it was not
bought. To-day another New Or
leans Republican will testify to
what he knows of the same matter,
drawn thereto by the fact that be
has quarreled with other leaders
Of the party in the State.

the Republican candidate, denies
that he is party man, but the
facts do not back up his denial.
Less than six months ago he
proclaimed the fact that he was
Republican OF the blue-bellied va
riety, and it is little too soon to
"Aop" gracefully just now. Then.
if he is not a Republican, an Inde-
pendent, or q Greenbacker, what
is he? 1t looks very much ike
he was at his old game of "any-
thing for Office" If he had the
interest of the white people at
heart he would not oppose the can
didate of their choice nor permit
himself to become the instrument
of the negroes in their blind oppo-
sition to any and every man and
measure proposed by the whites.
If be respected their preferences
he would be in the back ground,
and not be found using his utmost
endeavors to defeat the will of the
intelligent property owners of the
parish, and that. too, when he
knows that his supporters do not
represent one-fftieth part of the
wealth of the parish, and even less
of.the intelligence.

The negroes have been reasoned
with and proved incapable of un
derstanding. They imagine they
can rule us against our will. Let
them try it. Make the issue, and
victory is ours.
The nomination by the negroes
of H. Mcknight for delegate to the
constitutional convention, in the
face of the nomination of Mr.. r.
B. Williams, shows that they are
not disposed to accept any man
WHO is satisfactory to the white
people of this parish. and prefer
to make political fight of mat.

no partisan spirit. 1t is now a
square issue between a man select

"You may tax, you may threaten

The question has resolved itself
into whether we are to be repre-.

by q man who is willing to be
forced on us by making use of the
blind and ignorant prejudice of an
