THAT GUBERNATORIAL
DISPUTE. 8
thai
Public attention hnaving been at- clue
tracted to the "unpleasantness" at ire
the
the Executive office, and there be_
ing a contrariety of opinion in the Dr.
public mind with reference to this dur
matter; it occurred to us that prob- is l
ably lack of correct information, cesi
had as much to do with the general the
un.efined expressions of approval on led
one side, and condemnation on the
other, as anything else. To reme- ma3
dy this evil we have been at some in
pains to obtain a knowledge of the pre
causes of this trouble, and we sub- tint
mit the statements we have received wk
from the best authorities on both
sides of the question. On the one I
hand it is stated that shortly after are
Governor Warmoth left the State, wa
Lieut. Governor Dunn had occasion pal
to exercise the gubernatorial func- 1
tions, and repaired to the Governor's pl
office, and required the services of rT
Mr. Bragdion, the private Secretary co
of the Governor. 3Mr. B. refused to
obey the orders of Gov. Dunn, and
declared himself sulb jeet to the or- to
ders of Gov. Warmoth only. That bo
.day passed. The next day Acting G ,v is
Duna, sought admission to the Gov- I St
ernor's office, and finding it locked I no
up and the Secretary absent, the TI
aid of a locksmith was procured, an B
entrance effected ani possesion se
curcd. On the arrival, shortly after, St
of Mr. Bragdon, Gov. Dunn inform- D
ed him that in consequence of his hr
refusal to obE. his instructions, his th
services would not be required in
the oice ur.ntl the return of Goe.
Warmoth. The Secretary expressed ti
a desire to remove some private pa- or
pers of Gov. Warmoth, w'nereupon a
oev. Dunn informed him that Goe. i
Warmoth's Iprivate papers would be li
as sacred where they were, as if m
they were in his own house. Gov.
Dnunn having occasion a short time
after to leave the office, Mr. Brag
don embraced the oplportunity, and
removed from the office the books
and Iplars besought.
On the other hand we are inform- tl
ed that Od'. Warmoth, while he
fully reco-nizes he right of Gov. t
Dunn to act as Geiernor during t
his absence from the ,ate, denies
that he--Gov. Dunn,-has'"he least
right to take possession of the'qo0
ernor's office. This offce he in
is a private one, established by him
self, and not by the Constitution or
the law. It is farther contendel for
Gov. Warmnth that every document
and paper in his office is private.
The Constitution makes the Sacre
tary of State the custodian of not
only the records of the State, but
le requires him to keep an Offi
ia1 Begister of the proceedings uf
the Governor. He says, we are is
formed, that there are no public
documents in his possession except
the unsigned bills which he has un
der his control, pd is in contem
plation of law, oonsidering, until
the meeting ot the Legislature. He
farther says that the book: removed
by Mr. Bragdon, were entirely pri
rate, being memoranda kept by his
We have thus briefly stated the
.chie points in this nuplesant ,con
test; aind whatever onclusioos may
. i4red al by or rars we
find urlves eriven ii the  aterest
of our party, to enter our solemn
protest against this, and similar Ta
bicorings and omntentions among
our most rom'.nent offieials. For W
there can. be no doubt that h tioll
there existed that entente cordiale h
between *.he Governor and the bunt
Lieutentat Governor, which un- the
questio aably should exist between R
them. we should not have witnessed on I
this disgraceful squabble. The ef
fr t of such exhibitions on the part '
ot our highest officials, tends to
produce demoralization among the u
masses, and the "little leaven" of
discord will be found more than P
sufficient to "leaven the whole One
lump" into a mass of confusion,
and party anarchy- worthy some of
the recent days of France. And
our Democratic friends, who are
ever anxious to promote strife
and dissension, and to applaud any
act calculated to divide the Repub
lican party, would not have had
this opportunity of gloating over oral
what they jubilantly proclaim is an
"irreparable split" in the Republican
party.
But after all, may we not
have some cause for reconciling our
selves to the evils of this "little
affair" since it has caused our Mr.
friends of the democratic press to
discover that Oscar the first, is not pro
so hideous as they supposed, and of y
not half so objectionable now as
about two years ago, when the the
action of the New Orleans Jackson pre
and Great Northern Railroad Com- atic
pany, in refusing him decent accom
modation, was so unanimously ap- sun
plauded by them. noe

[A VOICE FROM MISISSfIPPI.] t
For the Loisianian fri
Mr. Editor:
I, in admiration unfeigned, ap- be
prove of an editorial in the columns ve
of your very valuable paper of the tic
29th ult, and in commendation of a
the decided stand, assumed in the th
premises, would say that your f igel- pa
ation of McComb was n.,t severe th
enough. As the Bulletin has pre- bn
sumed to be his apologist, and de- su
nounces ladies because they attempt pt
to enjoy rights, that are by the to
Constitution vouchsafed to them, hA
and also the pledges made both or
publicly and privately by Mr. H. S. nt
McComb, I conclude that his asser- si
tions should be made public. I, as ce
one familiarly connected with the
various measures of legis'.ation be- th
t fore the Mississippi Legislature f,
since its reconstruction would state cl
that he (McComb) publicly in re- d4
sponse, to an interrogation pro- in
pounded by myself in the Hall of
the House of Representatives said,
"that they (the colored pe6ple) of
should have the same rights that he
,. and his family enjoyed upon the re
o roads," and in a private conversa- tl
tion had in his cfice in Wilming
ton, Del., one year ago, he again
stated that any distinctions report
ed to him, should and would be
e immediately rectified. And as for
the donation recently granted by 1
b our State, amounting to near $3,000 T
,n 000, I would say that it was sup- b
ie ported, advocated and granted be
cause this road had apparently t
abolished the prejudicial distinc- c
,d tions that characterize the manage
ig ment of most of the Rail Roads in b
d, the South. The class of men that
ie the BuL'ein represents fought the
es recent donation of this State to t,
t. McComb by all of their strategy ,
le and eloquence unto the final end, <1
and the Republicans naturally feel
e aggrieved that the opposition should
! champion the action of the mana
in gemrs of the road, when so much had
Sy been done by its votaries to even
defeat certain measures tending to
make the road a first-class one.
-I opine Mr. Editor, that the perpe
Stration of this outrage upon certain
citizens was more the cause of the I
Bulletin's eulogimun,thaa love for the
Smanagers, respect for the road ori
appreciation of the best interests of t
the States interested.
I will admit that the Sleeping
Coaches are owned by a pompany,
but each coach placed upon any
road comes distinctly under the
all control and discipline of the man
- agement of the road, upon which,
Sit is placed and he ,who attempts to
th controvert this position is not so
much fool as knave. Our duty Il
en .hink Mr. Editor is to not abate qne
iota of oar public demands for the
ad recognition of our legal rights in
of all conceivable shapes, by support
on tug those favorable to according
them to us, and opposing with all
of ourmight and main those who
for would at this day, (be they from
ith the North or South) attempt to
ily draw the invidious line of demare
tstion betwea American citiens

After indorsing such minlinemsi na
American citizens as the above, he gi
then stoops to quote, in the same th
issue, from the New Orleans Belle- s
tin: hb
'.If negroes are allowed to ride in su
sleeping cars, thite people be forced or,
--,wlens vlen-to abandon the use ca
of these comfortable vehicles of res
transportatijn. We feel that the pr
public generally will applaud the chs
course taken by the owner in this ore
matter." on
"Oh, consistency thou art a jew
el!" So, what is good fora white the
man is not good for a black man. 18
I had thought that the time for such ba
remarks had passsed. If not, then et
we, as American citiins, should and pig
must assert and maintain our rights at
at all hazards. Even if we have to S
drop old friends, and those men who ae
banded themselves to our enemies, til
be forever cast aside. And those fo
colored men who have been eleva- ale
ted to high positions by their old ly
friends and then forget them, as rl
well as their own origin, will, I hope, w.
be remembered in a way they won't w
very well like when the next elec- at
tion comes on. I see that the Demo- vs
cratic papers here are rejoicing over m
the fight between the leading Re- i
poblicans in your State, hoping for
the same result there as gave Ala- th
bania to them last year, which re- b3
sulted in clearing nearly every Re- ai
jpublican out of office. I had forgot i
to tell you that the street cars here bl
have a place divided off where col- N
ored people may ride inside, when
not filled by whites; if so, then out- G
side, for which you are charged ten g
cents.
I see by the papers that many of a
the leading Democrats have testi- w
fled before the Ku-Klux Court, in- P
cluding the Governor of this State. vi
denying that any organization exists a
in this State. to
Well, whether there is or not, all w
I haze to say is,that it looks suspi- v
oious when white men in the interi
or of this State will command igno- b
rant colored men to do as they want «
them to, when they carry a brace o' 1
pistols about them, and generally
backed up by a double barrel sho .j
gun. And they are afraid to have 0
:ny kink of amusements at night e
for fear of being disturbed and pro- '
bably some innocent person killed.
1 This of course I did not see myself, ii
- but I have been told by those wh "
were afraid to live any longer where I
their lives were always at stake. c
- Creole Fire Company No. 1, com
posed of colored men, in this city,
had the grandest pic-nic of the sea
st on down the bay shore at a place I
e called Allenton, where they revived
0 that old Creole game, Poudgoud, t
who many of our old residents no c
doubt still retain some remembrance

In -Fraer'e Magazine we find the fol
. lowing: "A number of curious casets
of the progress of musket-balls from
n the place where they are first lodged
e have been observed by military sur
e geons. We have heard of a remarka
r ble case where the musket-ball struck
f the forehead above the nose, and hav
ing divided into two halves, one half
went round beneath the akin on the
right side, and the other on the left,
Sadvancing in contact with the skull.

Sthe two half- ballets met again behind,
h after having performed the circuit of
to the head in opposite direetions, and
o advancing with a slightly diminished
I force, united and killed an unfortunate
Sman who stood in their way; but the
fact of the splitting of the bullet, and
the advance of each half in opposite
directions is unquestionable. The
Ssingular progress of a musket-bullet

'The companying portrait is ao
fair likeness of the gentleman whose
name heads this article. We have
given it for the double reason that
the eareer of Senator Pinehback il
lustrates the power of energy, when the
backed by real ability, to achieve te
success under even the most unfav
orable circumstances, and also be
cause it presents one instance of a an
result rendered inevitfble by the
progress of events: the fall and an- 1
challenged participation of the col- ch(
ored race in the privileges and hon- Ch
ors of government. Re
Senator Pinchback was born in be'
the State of Georgia, in the year SO<
1837. His father. Major W. Pinch- in
back, being the proprietor of alarge he
estate in Holmes county, Miasissip- ing
pi, a portion of his life was passed for
at that place. In 1816 he left the uli
South for the purpose of attending vO
school in Ohio, where he remained Po
till the year 1848, when he returned the
for a time to Mississippi. The rot
death of his father occurmng short- sti
ly after, the family moved to Ohio. cl
The next fourteen years of his life Pi
were passed amid struggles which, ho
while testing his powers of eudur- stc
ance, contributed largely to the de- pe
v.l( p.ui n of the energy and deter- of
mination which have since marked. au
lis private life. Io
In 1862, when in the progress of PI
the late war New Orleans was t tken P1
by the nation.l fleet and army, Seu- ca
ator Pinchback being at that time wl
within the Confederate lines, ran the t!'
blockade and reached the city of i
New Orleans in safety.
This was in 1862. Shortly after, an
General Butler arrived, and in Au
Iuat of the same year the First
Regiment (Union) Louisiana Vol- hf
uf nteers was raised. Though this `'
was one of the white regiments Mr. t
- Pinchback enlisted therein as a pri- ac
vate soldier, and on becoming i"
snown, soon rose high in the es- w
teem of his commandingofficer, and a
I was detailed for recruiting ser
vice. P
Next came General Butler's cele- W
- brated order No. 63, calling on fre'
t colored men to arm and organize ini
defense of the Union. This afford
. td the opportunity long desired b%
Slenator 1'inchback. He was de- C
:ached fromt his regiment and direct
t I ed to raise a company of colored b
t- roops, .in which he succeeded, win
I. uing the honor of recruiting the ,
first colored soldier regularly en- J
liste] for United States service -s
flavring raised his company, he was w
commissioned as its captain, and oa, c
Ihe twelfth of October was mustered l
in as Captain of Company A, Sec
- ond Louisiana Native Guards. lie L
seerved in this position until Sep- ,
, tember 11, 1863, when through the o
1, treatment at that time accorded to ,
o colored officers, a feeling of injured
self-respect led him to resign. Yet
his heart was too thoroughly euhlsted I
in the great strnggle for freedom t,
adlow him to be satisfled with inac
Stivity while the whole land rang
with the thunders of war, on the re- a
sult of which depended the enthrone- C
ment of liberty or the per-etuation 3
Sof a heartless despotism; so, after I
Sa:m interval of inactivity, Senator [
r- Pinchbaeck, authorized by Colonele
a- J:mes Grant Wilson, raised a com
pany of cavalry, and on applying
Sfor his commission, it was refused I
Sby General Banks, who returned the !
Sapplication with the following in
dorsements: "Respectfully returned. i
T his application is disapproved, the
at commissioning of negroes as com- I
d, missioned ofcers being contrary'
of to law."
d In 1835. Senator Pinchback first I
'- entered the field of polities. He i
e spoke at numerous public meetings
a in Alabama, working energetically
Sto smeunre the colored men the rights
ie accorded by the Republican Con-i
Let grees. Doring the same year he
as entered the politieal field in Louis
ht ina, sinces which time his ialuence
in has been felt in every important
Spolitical movement. In 1868 he I
was eleeted from the Fourth Ward
of the city of New Orleans to a mseat
u in the Constitutional Convention,
ad in which body be immediately took

It may be mentioned, in passing, W
that to his watchfulness is due the
salary received by the Lieutenant
Governor of the State, the constita- a
tion having made no provision for
the payment of that officer, till the a
keen eye of Senator Pinchback de- fri
tected the omission, and he p epre
and presented the article under a
which.that salary is now paid. I
In 1S63 Senator Pinchbackc w-as
chosen delegate at large to the tL
Chicago nominating convention.
Returning to Louisians, having a:
been elected to the State Senate, he in
soon began a career as a legislator f'
in which, up to the present time,
he has enjoyed a constantly increas
ing influ3nce. In the recent contest to
for United States Senator, his pop
ularity was evinced by the flattering In
vote which he received for that im- dt
portant position. Without aid from in
the support which power and pat- L
ronage bring to a candidate, and
standing alone on his personal
claims to consideration, Senator
Pinchback rallied around himself a
host of friends, and in the final vote
stood at the head of all his com
petitors, with the single exceptiob
of General West, who proved the
successful candidate. When the w
names of other aspirants to that t'
Sposition are recalled, the com
pliment paid to Senator Pinchback
can scrce:y be over estimat l,
while the confidence expressed by
the almost solid vote of the colored
f members of the Legislature in hie
behalf, must long remain a pleasant
memory to one who has worked so
steadily for their elevation.
Senator Pinchback has, from tht
- first, taken a warm interest in the I
work of popular education. Unde
the ward board system he was
active and zealous in defending the
just claims of colored pupils, and
when the ward system was super
jceded by that of a single city board,
Senator Pinchback was at once ap
pointed to a seat in that body,
which position he at present tilLU
with credit to himself and satisfaction
w his friends.
