OUR CIIOICE FOR PRESIDENT IN 1872.
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS BANK.
Among the great advantages springing
from the establishment of the Freedmen's
Bureau, none eclipses the establishment
of the Freedmen's Savings Bank. It is
an institution which gives colored men
who know how to do business the chance
t. be useful; it is a good school for worthy,
but unexperienced colored men to learn
something of financiering; while on the
other hand it helps to form the habit
among the poor of our race to lay by
something for "a rainy day". When col
ored men begin to save a part of the mon
ey they make, they not only benefit
themselves, but they teach a comnmenda
ble lesson to others among us ; and this
is but a small part of the advantage, for
the power of knowledge is scarcely less
kingly, than the power of money. When
a man keeps an account at the bank, each
member of the community soon finds out
the fitct, and it increases his respect for the
depositor accordingly ; but the best of all
is the fact that a man at once begins to
respect himself. We call attention to the
branch of this institution in this city, of
which Mr. Sturtevant is Cashier. He is
a gentleman competent, trustworthy and
public spirited. Let our people heed the
lessons taught by the irish who know the
force of the old adage that if you "take
care of the cents, the dollars will take
care of themselves."
COUJRAGE AND COWAP.DICE.
This paragraph is interresting as sug
ge.ting a contrast:
" The C'ourier-Jnesrnal(Ky.)}to-day pub
liches a lengthy decison by Judge WV. H.
(Jufeir, of the Judicial District Court ci
this State, instructiiig the grand jury to
admit negro testimony in their investiga
ti,'ns. Judge Cofer decides that tihe neg
roes are citizens, and the right to testify is
necoessary for their protection in tihe eujoy
mient of their rights guirranteed by the
('oistitution of the United States to citiz
ens, and that a State Judge is bound by the
clause of the State constitution prescri
hing the oath of office up'tolding the Coni
stitution of the United States as the su
prtiue law of the land. Judge Cofer was
P~rovo.,t Marshal General of Joseph E.
Johnson's army, of the late Coufe'derate
States."
The ' contrast we refer ' to is this;
that white men who like General Jamue
Longstreet, Judge Cofer and Gener
al Alcorn fought bravely for Confeder
ate independance, have honestly accepted
reconstruction legislation those men
who were too cowardly to fight for inde
pendance, are still howling from their
Apnqe-leznels against a tyranny, which if
it existed as they allege, would do some
compensating good for its existence by
crushing such men out as disturbers.
This is not, however, a new lemsn. The
cruelest slave-holder was always the most
craven, and the best master was he,
whose force of will united the two char- 1
acteristics of noblenewscosiderateness
for his inferiors, and modesty among his
e.quis The see who are following
their f')rmer vietimsB with the stealth and
vindiotivegees of the indian, are identic

Dut no evil is without its good; the
,ass gpe of this class of me. satomgma
serves to illustrat3 the fact of a general
acceptance of the situation on the part
of our citizens generally, for were it not
so, the inflaming appeals of the cowards
might mislead even our honest men.
THE EXTINCTION OF THE NEGBO.
It has been a favorite theory with those
whose "wish was father* to the thought,"
that the negro must die out in the Unit
ed States.
Climatic influences were intimated,
physiological and anatomical doctrines
were propounded, and statisical columns
marshalled with the skill of prophets,
who were determined to fullfl their own
prophecy, whenever the negro's right to
a residence on this continent was dis
cussed. Even the odious necessities and
consequences of slavery itself were in
voked to prove that Providence had made
a mistake in permitting the negro to be
come free; but just here is where the
curious phrase of the theory comes in:
Providence was all right while the negro
groaned under the slave-holder's lash, but
the negro with a ballot in his hand was
too adverse an illustration of pro-slavery
arguments to be accepted as providential.
And so his enemies and detractors take
refuge in the labyrinths of ethnology,
simply because they have been denied all
shelter under the sanctions of religion,
and been Fcourged from the pathway of
c mmon sense by a historical severity
they are not likely to survive. Here is
r )of on our side: The Commissioner
of the Census Bureau officially reports
that the returns of the Census Office, with
only four counties incomplete, and these
estimated, show a colored population in
in all the States and Territories of 4,857,
000, a gain of 9 35-100 per cent. since
1860.
It will be admitted on all bands that
this report shows a large gain, especially
if the unfavorable circumstances under
which the gain took place,are considered.
The New Orleans Times, a pro-slavery
organ, admits that even at present "the
mortuary statistics which we furnished
prove exclusively (??) one of two things
either that freedom is fearfully fatal to
negro life, or that the census returns, as
to the numbers of our negro inhabitants,
are grossly inaccurate. The death rates
among the negroes of our city, even when
full allowances are made for the results
of recklessness, improvidence and loose
habits, indicate a much larger population
than 50,482, which are the figures furn
ished as correct by the Census Bureau."
How great, then, must have been the
rate of mortality among negroes when
they were killed or starved by thousands
immediately upon tLe close o' the war. A
people who show sucha heavy death rate
as the Timer claims we do, and which
still have multipled to the extent of one
tifth of their number at the beginning of
the last decade, do not exhibit any very
fatal effects of their possession of free
dom.
LEGAL QUIBBLES.
The st4tement is made that the Su
preme Court of Louisiana has formerly
recognized the seal of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia by admitting
those bearing its credentials, to the bar
here.
If this be so, how shall we explain the
refusal of the Supreme Court here to ad
mit Messrs. Shadd and Bell to its privi
!eges? Is it likely that men who have
prepared themselves by study, secured
the best credentials, and gone to the ex
pense of settling in a new home, who
have been, at one stroke of technicality,
defeated of all their expectations in the
line of their professions will love their
contemners? Mlessrs Ilell and Shadd
are gentlemen who graduated with hon
ors, were admitted to practice without
opposition, and came into the State with
good reputations, and yet the means of a
livelihood are snatched from them unon
a mere legal quibbles, yet everybody
knows the pruulsnse of disqualification
covers the dastardly feeling of negro hate
and endorses the vile habit of Southern
proecriptiou of the negro, in the very
fase of four-score of legislators of the
negro race.
PRIESTLY DOMINATION FALLING.
Dollinger has enlisted on his side the
King, courtiers, professors and students
against the opinions and power nf the
Pope and the Roman hierarchy.
He has not, like Luther, retaliated
upon the Pope by answering excommu
nication with excommunication; but he
has appealed frouq mere ecclesiastical nu
thority to human reason. The experience
of the world has proven that the Church
of Rome has sanctified authority even
more than it has furthered the interest.

Iiager,whoeeripe eeholarabipandstsinless

mankind against. the unmaries. of ritu

adherents, the beginning of the end is

our Savior as a priest forever after the
order of Melchisedee, taught the lesson
that every man should be his owni priest.
while he may cwoose some one to expound
those "things which make for his peace."
GRUMBLERS.
Some men become great martyrs
through the mere power of their imaginer
tion, and they are often at once the chief
grumblers, and the chief idlers. They
may be desirous of engaging in some
kind of business, or of gaining a position
it doesnot matter which; they keep them
selves in a happy state of preparednes,
for anything that may "turn up."
They have patiently woaited for some op
portunity, with a disposition of ease
which, if it did not make them seek it,
rendered them willing to accept it when
it came. But some one else comes along
with perhaps superior abilities-certainly
with different methods, and goes to
work and establishes himself, and before
any one has scarcely noticed him, he is
settled in business or has gained some
position of trust and influence,-takes his
place in society and renders himself at
home. Yet when this is done the grum
bler looks around and seeing that some
one else has succeeded immediately be
comes possessed with the idea that he is
injured. He is thoroughly convinced
that a foreign favorite has cheated a
native out of his just deserts; and at
once the colored grumbler is recruited
into the ranks of white anti-carpet
baggers. The accession to the commu
nity of men of ability, reputation and
capital, are all lost sight of under the
suggestions of a jealous belief that suc
cess, enterprize and honors are nothing
when imported, and that they are useless
when they do not "happen" to the
grumbler.
It is in exact keeping with such a dis
position not to see that successful natives,
are forced to the acceptance of foreign
help because the disposition to grumble
involves the lack of ability in the
grumbler to render the same service.
And in nine cases out of ten, they either
fail to get a place, or to keep it, because
in fighting foreigners they are fighting
all the enterprize, energy and sagacity
there is at home, and arraying them
selves against the most influencial natives.
Let this class of people learn that the
greater the number of men of ability and
capital that come into a community, the
more numerous will become the opportu
nities of employment,and this result in it
self will destroy grumbling. The fact is
the grumblers in fighting against the re
cognition of the qualifications of new
comers, are simply fighting against their
own bread and butter, and condemnation
of so-called interlopers, only reflects upon
the wisdom and wars against the interests
of the most enterprising natives.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
We quote the following from the
associated press dispatches of Monday
last :
THU NEORO TRIUMPH.
"Lousyn±z;x May l8.-At a meeting of
the street railroad managers held to-day
they agreed that it was useless to try to
resist or evade the enforcement by the
United States authorities of the right
claimed by the negroes to ride in the
street. ears. The negroes having refused
the offer of special cars and determnined
to insist on riding with the whites it was
decided best to avoid serious collision by
opening the cars to them. It is likely no
zurther trouble will occur beyond occa
sional collisions with rougha."
The facts above stated show that in
terest is at last becoming in the South
what it is in all free society-the touch
stone of political action. These railroad
managers of Louisville have awakened to
the fact that they cannot nurse their own
prejudices and foster the senseless pro
scriptions of a community without run
ning their ears at a loss. These men
are doubtless as true Southerners as
those who desire to enjoy the luxury of
appropriating an enterprise they have
never pai a cent to establish ; and who
therefore, should be satisfied with reeeiv
ing, by their ride in the care, an equi
valent for their fare without atlempting
to cheat the compeny out of other
people's fare because theme other people
happen to be colored. The senselemsnems
of theme proescriptions as well as their
inconsistency, is shown by the well known
fact that the most beautiful and acoom
plished white women will sit in Siamese
closeness to the blackest Airiesn to be
found in the land, if the African hsppeus

a fair daughter of the white rasa has to
carry her prejudices in her feet and walk
a mile or two in devotion to them, rather
than ride with a negro, the negro may
sit and grin out the vengeanee of an in
jired victim with theconudousness that it
will not be long till he will have his white
mister for a companion. R hen once the

number of "Tat lawouacs Tmms," a
Republican Weekly started in Thib

Hartman Esq. Its salutatory declares the
object to be to support the Constitution
and the Laws, devoted to the interest of
education agriculture and manufacture
and the Arts, without fear favor or
respect of persons." We place our new
ally on our exchange list and hope to
find Tua Tare what it desires to be a
first class Republican newspaper."
ABOUT TOWN.
Baurwr Caunca.-On Sunday evening
last, according to announcemrent, Mr. J
Sella Martin discoursed at the Baptis
Church, on Common Street. The in
clemency of the weather prevented a large
audience, which, beyond a doubt, would
have well filled the church; but the speak
er, recognizing, in those who were there,
a true appreciation of his ability, made
one of those interesting and masterly ef
forts which characterize him in any of his
undertakings.
STrAGoar UNIvmEns.-The ministra
tions of last Sabbath, by Rev. C. H.
Thompson, were as usual pervaded by
those chastened but elevating surround
ings which promise so much good to that
infant organization.
Sr. JAI s Cnanh..-We had the pleasure
of an interveiw with the newly arrived
pastor of this church, the Rev. Mr. Thom
as, in company with the respected Bisaap
Shorter, of the same persnasion. Their
thorough recognition of the noble o: k
before them, and their determination to
'work while it is day," promise a large
measure of success in their field of labor.
MILITARY Brvouac.-A rumor prevails
that one of the Divisions of the Louisi
ana Militia, we believe Col. Ingraham's,
will in a few days march with their arms
to the City Park, and encamp for two or
three days. The objects and motives of
this military display we can and do
thoroughly appreciate; and it is on ac
count of this sympathy with the move.
that we suggest a precautionary observ
ance, leave your arms at home, Colones;
and leave your gallant corps free to the
hilarity and enjoyments of the occasion
unencumbered by a care for arms, and
deprive even your fie men of the facility
of an appeal to the piie in a moment of
some obstreperous display of martial
spirit. FVesu~m asp.
Aziorms Ruwoa prevails that several of
our leading gentlemen have a promising
scheme on foot. It is to erect a fie
building, on Canal Street, poeseemed of
those accommodations suitable for a first
class restsaurant; a spacious ball-room on
the second floor, and on the third Boor,
a Masonic Lodge Room. Every indica
tion that we learn of, points towards the
successful carrying out of this worthy
design, and our friends may confident
ly rely on the most practicalsympethy
and aid, if necessary, from the real friends
of humanity and progrees in their efforts
to "help themeelvcs."
Puasr~axsoomu.-Happening in the
neighborhood of 8t. James Ciripel, on
Tuesday evening, we were attracted to
the building, and found a large and in
terested audience enjoying the fie exhi
bitions of sundry moral, usni religio is

is in our city; and we had the pleasureof
a call from him.
Since our last issue, we have had the
gratifcation of welcome calls from Ad
ministrator James Lewis, Dr. Pemberton,
Coroner Pat. Creagh, Hons. J. W. Quinn,
and J. Henri Burch, of Baton Rouge,
who arrived in the city on Monday.
Fzuax--Our genial friend Senator
Pinchbeck, signally displayed a promi
nent feature of hisecharacter, an Monday
last. His respected mother has been here
on a visit to him, and on the eve of her
return home, a select party of friends
were invited out to the Lake to partici
pate in the interchange of some of the
inner enjoyments of socialism; and a re
markably pleasant hour passed away.
The honored matron evidently appreciat
ed the occasion and its unrroundings,and
doubtless enjoyed this mark of filial af
fection on the part of her distinguished
son. She will leave the city in a day or
two for her home, carrying with her the
best regards of the friends who enjoyed
the pleasure of association with her
during her visit to New Orleans.
A PUZZLED DUTCHMAN.
One who does not believe in iammeraion
for baptism was holding a protracted
meeting, and one night preached on the
subject of baptism. In the course of his
remarks, he said: Some believe it nes
essary to go down into the water, and
come up out of it, to be baptized. But
this claimed to be a fallacy, for the
preposition "into" of the scriptures
should be rendered diferently, for it
does not mean "into" at all times.
"Moses," said he, "we are told, went
up into the mountain, and the Saviour
was taken into a high mountain, etc.
Now, we do not suppose that either went
into a mountain, but unto it. So witu
going down into the water; it means
simply going down dose by, or near, the
water, and being baptized in the ordina
ry way, by sprinkling or pouring."
He carried this idea out fully, and in
due season and style closed his discourse,
when an invitation was given for any so
disposed to rise andexpress his thoughts.
Quite a number of the brethren arose
and said that they were glad that they
had been present on this occasion; that
they were pleased with the sound sermon
they had just heard, and felt their souls
greatly blessed. Finally, a corpulent
gentleman of Teutonic extraction, a
btranger to all, arose and broke the
silence, that was almost painful.
"Mr. Breacher. I ish so glad I vash
