8. Posey, of PattereontiUejgbaa again plaoedi as ander obligations for valuable favors. The Mobile "Gaaatte" aa newsy and as when we last it, came to onr office this It ia not generally known Ihat: "Any person who receives a newspaper and makes tue of it whether be has ordered ik'or not, ia held in law to be a'snbscriber." It is reported that quite a number of prominent Republicans from the Third Congressional District are in the city looking after the interest of their section in the matter of Federal office. The withdrawal of the Repnbiean caucus nominee for the United States Senate, from before the Pennsylvania Legislature has not broken the deadlock, and Senator Wallace's successor still remains the great unknown. The inundation of that part of the city in which the foreman of ont office lives, oauces the paper to be little late this week.

This is a cirtravstanoe beyond our control and we offer noapolHOT for it Messrs. M. J. Morris and 01 A. Whatley, of Catahoula, pud usa call on lagt Thursday.

Broad of has been nominated for Colieotor of Customs for the Vickburg district If this means our worthy friend Thomas M. Broad waters, it ia a good appointment.

Bon. Simon Cameron, the veterfn of Pennsylvania and life long friend of the colored raoe, will visit this city before returning home from his southern trip, and our people should not let him pass through their midst without attesting in some form their appreciation of his many valuable services to the cause of ftreedom and equality for before the law. THE OLD SCARE-CROWS. On every hand we can hear the cry. "don't raise the oolor line." And with their imitativenees the colored sycophant comes to the front shouting it the loudest.

the matter now Why all this extraordinary sensitiveness on the color question Just before the election we did not hear any of this-kind of nonsense 1 On the contrary colored men were in groat demand. In the October notably Indiana, which was the accepted battle ground of the campaign they were loudly called for. Douglas, Bruce, Elliott and other colored men were heard all over the State and thsir presenoe had quite as much to do with the glorious victory the party aohieved as any other factor employed in that memorable campaign. It was our glorious privilege to participate in that Waterloo for the national Democracy and the only complaints we heard- relative to oolored men eame from the Democracy In regard to their republican solidity. The Republicans regretted that they were not more numerous.

But the election is over now, the honors and emoluments are to be divided, and up steps the Office Seeking Brigade, many of Whom were standing around the telegraph office on the night of that memorable Oetober 12 with hat in hand ready to throw it high in air and shout themselves hoarse for Hancock, had the news from diana been in his favor, with their stereotyped cry of "color-line," "social equality" "superior intel ligence," "special fitness," and the other scare-crows with which they have so successfully frightened the Negro into a relinquishment of his rights and privileges in the past. These patriots tell us with great flourish of trumpets that "white men do not demand power and preferment because they are white." Just so; but they get them all the same while the Negro ie fed on "taffy" and suoh offioial crumbs aa will give the thing a little coloring. To us, this sort of thing became nauseating a long time ago and we are really glad to see by the general drift of opinion anong the colored people of the country that the race at large are becoming sick and tited of it end seem disposed to submit no longer to an unjust denial of equitable representation in the honore and emoluments of the perty they have helped to plaoe in power. The colored voters of the country make no demand for official representation on account of color, but they are determined not to submit in silence to a denial of the same because they are oolored; and it is worse than useless for any man or set of men, to attempt to silenoe their just demand by parading anew, the old scare-crows whioh were so effective in their political childhood. Gen.

Garfield understands this thoroughly, and when he shall assume the of his office he will consider the claims of the colored voters, precisely as he wilt those of every other element in the party which elevated him to that high etation, and will deal with them justly. We therefore advise our sensitive friends, white and oolored, not to let the oolor-line disturb their peaoefnl slumbers. It like every other question of public import, will adjust itself according to the eternal fitnees of things. Mr. B.

F. Cook, of Monroe, Louisiana, is one of our most aotiveand efficient agents. sent ns the namee end money of six annnal subscribers last week, and names and money of three more this week, end propoees to send mpra soon. If every one of our egents will do as well, in a abort time the wta will hew a circulation in the state something like what it ought to be. Mr.

Oook id one of the most deoerniag citizens in North Louisiana and tee the value ood importance of a channel of communication "between the different elements oom posing the population of onr State, and his efforts in our behalf like seed eown in good ground, will in time return him a ivb reward. NEW ORLEANS CAN. REPUBLIAnother candidate for publio favor, the New Orleans Republican, published every Saturday at No 48 Magazfiie street, made appearance in this city last Saturday. Of oourse, like all of its predecessors in the journalistic field, it comes to fill "a void long felt" end we do not hesitate to soy it will do it if the broad platform announoed in its maintained. Among other things, it says: "The New Orleans Republican then, will be essentially the organ of our entire party in Loutsiana, and will be oonducted on a stalwart, frank and independent eya tem, that shall, while advocating the doctrines of the party, seek to unite all its members and restore harmony to its ranks.

It will be stalwart in its advocacy of Republican principles. It will be stalwart in demanding that all citizens, of whatever racc or color they may be, shall be en titled to enjoy the righta and privilegee conferred upon them by that great charter of liberty, the Constitution of the United States." To become the "organ" of the "entire" Republican party in Louisiana, is a laudable ambition, but a task much more difficult A of aooom plishment, we fear, than our young contemporary imagines. Unfortunately for republicanism in Louisiana, we bave a large number of lucrative Federal positions in the State, the possession and retention of which has ever been made of more importance than Republican first essential to any possibility of party sucoess. Observing closely the signs of the time and the movements of the men who imagine that they will run Gen. Garfield in all matters pertaining to this State to suit their personal convenience, we see no hope of any improvement in the future.

Every indication unmistakably points to a disposition to oontinue the old methods and praetioeeof making the Federal offices, in this city, personal perquisites to be used for the advancement of individual rather than general party interest and the Federal officials political overseers instead of valuable members of a healthy party organization. If the Republican mens what it says in regard to party unity, it has made its appearance at an opportune time to aid in preventing the consummation of these schemes. Every campaign haa demonstrated more and more the independence and manhood of the Republican masses and we expeot to see them divorce themselves entirely from official dictation the next opportunity that presents itself. That it is a "eonsumation devoutly to be wished" and the one thing needful to inaugurate Republican harmony in Louisiana every impartial man in the State will admit. Iu view of this incontrovertable tact, what abroad field of usefulness spreads out before our young contemporary, Will it enter it and make good its profession of having the good of the party at large only at heart.

We shall see what we shall see. And in the mean time, we weloome it to the field of jour nalism. A FATAL MISTAKE. Often, when reading the sentimental gush of christian repentance made by some guilty culprit about to pay the penalty of a great crime with the forfieture of hie life upon the gallows, we have felt after all, possibly, it was not sneb a bad thing to be a great criminal. And the thought has ooenred to us, if the gallows is such a sure and royal raad to the Eternal City, and ae we do not see our way entirely dear to it by the ordinary route, whether it might not be well for us to kill one or two of our numerous enemies, and thus become at once a martyr and christian and make our "calling sore." We do not remember of reading of an execution of a great criminal, for years, who did not assure this sinful world that he had been "born egain," and was going strait home to "peace and glory" and contemplated his voyage into the "undiscovered country" aa a mere pleasure excursion.

Every time we have finished reeding one of these glowa iog aocounft we somehow inclined to the opinion that the effect upon the general public was bound to be demoralkfog and unhealthy, and we are glad to see by the special correspondence from New Tork City to the Picayune, that the subject is receiving the attention of the ministry. It says: "Dr. Armitage's sermon in the Central Baptist Church last Sunday, on "A Fatal Mistake in Religion," touched a topic boldly that clergymen are usually rather shy eleventh hour repentance. As an orthodox minister, he I blush to say that scarcely an execution of the most incorrigible desperado takes place in oar country but we are put to shame by all kinds of morbid and maudlin religious talk QOQceJmuig him. His guilt may be ooefooAtf day, yet to the last moment his, lying lips have protested his innocence.

His every energy has been spent at the expenoe of truth. When all efforts to protect him from bis just punishment have failed he oonfesses his guilt and assures the world that he has become a must devoted servant of Christ. From that the uamby pamby sensationalists of the press and the large body of gossiping religious sentimentalists feel at liberty to set at defiance all that is healthy in the self-respect of the community. The criminal becomes a hero. Every word be utters is reported; all that he eats and drinks and even smokes; his hours of sleeping and waking are carefully watched as if they were matten of great consequence.

Then the outside world sees to it that the cell of the noble villain is furnished with fruits, and flowers, and luxuries of every sort, accompanied with soothcongratulations on bis high hopes for the next world, and to finish all, on his day of doom he atones for his crime by singing the "Sweet Bye and Bye," or some other soft ditty. All this is misleading and blighting enough to the man himself, but think of the demoralization it causes among the people at large, whose relations to crime and law are such delicate queetiona. The felon ja made out a martyr, and a brand of sporiousness is put upon the religion of Jesns Christ The idea grows among the masses that Christ's religion is a mere expedient in a desperate extremity." it it we perate extremity." The Progressive American takes exception to our reference to its name in an article, which appeared in our issue of January 23, criticising its oourse on the cabinet question and reminds us that, in our memorable straggle for the seat in the "United States Senate to which we re duly commissioned by the State of Louisiana and from which we were most injustly kept by Republican votes, it was our firm and uncompromising supporter. We plead guilty to the indictment and beg to assure friend Freeman we have not forgotten that servioe and will only be too glad to return it with interest, should an opportunity offer. At the same time we wish to remind the American that in supporting us it was not making simply a fight for an individual but for a great and fundamental principle of the Republic, the right of representation in the highest legislative department of the same principle that is involved in the Cabinet that it then occupiod a position in keeping with its name.

We have neither time nor space to answsr the inquiries propounded to ns in this issue, but in our next, we will endeavor to do so honestly and frankly, and if our friend can't agree with us, why then we trusj he will agree to disagree without any 31 feeling. North doeely." In the mean time we wish to give general notice that we have no aspirations in the Cabinet direction and that we are supporting Senator Bruce for that or any other plaoe he may aspire to, first last and all the time. by the way is a weekly paper published at No. 5.

The Buffalo Express says the movement is heartily seconded by the friends of General Grant and prooeeds to say that "Mr. Storrs is one of the most eloquent men of this Nstion, and his devotion to Grant has been very conspicuously 'manifested. It was iu the course of a speech of his at the Chicago convention that an allnrion to the great soldier-stateeman produced that tremendous outbreak of delirious enthusiasm whioh moved the vast mass of political humanity out of its sensee'for half an hour, and wrought a massnl of excitement that will never be forgotten by any one who witnessed it" The Express says Mr. Storrs began his legal career in Buffalo twenty or more years ago as a member of the firm of Austin, Storrs Anstin, and remarks that "be is a very genial genius." of of of of all, for Bye but ja of re re desits our to too At very following soetch of Hon Miflin W.

School hygiene is commanding attention in ell parts of the world.

This is oaly followiag oat the recommendatioae of General Eaton, Dr.

Mrs.

Very soon after event the victorious party decided that the colored soldiers who served the Uaion so valiantly in war eonld further advance ite interests by the use of the ballot and had fairly earned Bach recognition of their manhood and their loyalty. Seven million frecdroen were 1 They had not had the privileges of the schools, and their heritage was ignorance end degradation, end they were unfitted for the discharge of the dutiee of citizenship. Ignorant voters endanger the safety of a republic as a blind regiment would that of an army. While the latter would fight with shot aud shell, unable to distinguish friend trom foe, the former go to the batdee of the ballot-box with tickets which they coonot read, and vote for candidates of whom they have no knowledge.

It therefore becomes necessary to the safety ernment to give at least the elementa of English education to such voters aad their wives, who are mothers of the eoming men and women. Eduoation is a neces sity of good government. But a still higher motive should appeal to every Christian heart; it is the desite to enable those unfortunate people to read God's written word, aad learn of Him (who died for them, as truly as for the white man) the way of salvation through faith. Many of us have longed to labor as missionaries in foreign lands, and could not go to Africa; bat now Ethiopia at our her children calling for our help.
