JIu tle alt isue of the 'i;
Guard, the paper that b b
chosen as the sathorired r ponnt
of the riws-"tbe oficial organ" -
of the Customhouse wing of th
Republican party, there occurs thin
extraordinary and ignificant edi
torial paragraph
'The blacks would stay awy
}from the polls in 1812 r-ter than
be placed unnder the political slavery
of this ring. This is not sentiment,
it is truth in its deformity, and it
wiwba eaee, should the aessmty
be foreed on the colored people of
this State. It is true they would
be the sufferers chiefly, but they
will sooner undergo this than be
ally longer subject to the false Re
publicanism of the prese=t regime."
The disastrous calamity of re
linquishing the State to those who
wouldn't stay away from the polls
in 1872, is to be invited if Presi
dent Grant illustrates his repudi
ation of the outrageous acts of his
subordinates in the Onutomhouse,
by dismissing them from ofice.
And we are complacently told by a
paper, edited and managed by ood
i ored men, that the colored peopleof
iState will go to this extreme
of folly and self-sacrifieo to evenge
itself on-whom? Happily the ne
cessity for pursuing a line of argn
t ment to dissuade the colored voters
from even t1ie eontemlzplation of any
such ridiculoun act, is entirely ob
viated by the L.nowilde that there
as no such catastrophe threatened
or impending. It verily is "truth
i in its deformity," and it is truth,
such as can only be uttered by white
man; men who can change with
manners; men whose principles can
change with the timas; men who
t can swap over from Republicanism
Ito Democracy as convenience or :n
" terest may dictate.
1 But it is not, nor can it he the
language of honest colored men,
- who know thlt their only security:
* in the enjoyment of civil and
political liberty depends positively
and exclusively on the perpetuity of
1 RPpublicanism And it is deplor
- able to the last degree, that such
recklets, vindicative, spiteful, inju
rious counsel should emanate from
a journal pretending to be within
- ihe ranks of the Republican party.
,Sach remarks are indicative, even.
L at this d.etasce from the elections,
I of the exten to which the unap
,peasable wrath of the bolters is
, preparing to go in 1872. Brethren,
for the sake of the interests of the
colored men about whom you are
n,w so solicitous, abstain from
counselling or encourraging the bit
ing of one's nose "to spite his face."
It is suggested by instinct. that the
preservation of sell 3reponder
ates over every other'con deration.
And looig at this question from
this standpoint, we might easily
admit that both the present
administation and Democratic
Srule are objectionable to us. Still
the suggestions of self preservation
would prompt us to chose the least
of the two evils; "false Republican
ism"-i-e--such as we have lived
unnderin this State since the election
of Governor Warmoth, or real
Demiocracy, such as our race lives
under in Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama. As one of the. Spokes
men of our people, we terly cast
away your insane oouaal, and
repudiate it as a misrepresentation
of the State of feelig among
colored people gener~ly.
We do not say that there ae not
individual cases of hardship, and
w-ongs ingicted on some cdolored
men, under the State Admiistrao
Ition. Are there none idlicted ton
white men ? Do we hear a single
organ couusel as a rezedy the stay

Certainly not. They know too well!
"the price of liberty" to think of
folding the~y arms and let their
rights slip sway. Look at the Dem

staying away from polls? Are they

That on the approach of Policemen
they showed a disposition tor
being too near to the ofetrs.
They were however accosted by
officer J. N. Stevenson, who obasri
ing their motions as of searfhing
for something, asked them what
they were looking for. They said
"a breastpin." Another officer
appears and recognizes them as
thieves and thinks they ought tO be
arrested. The men move away and
Bickey leaves the other two and go
along the car track. The officer
persuading themselves that the men
Ishould be arrested, take the two in
oustody, at the sight of which
- Hickey starts at a ran to get away.
A chase ensunes by officer Stevenson
and Hickey runs up Franklin, the
cries of "thief !" "Stop him" and
such, attract a crowd, and the atgl=
tion of officer Coughlin who, coming
down Franklin on one banquet as
Hipl 1'. running up on the
othri, ,hi-w h is' rev lver and fired
two shots at the tfleeing man and
killed h.m almost instantly.
'The vereict of the Coroner's
jmry is that Hickey came to his
death from a pistol shot wound,
from a pistol in the hands of Officer
Coughling.
Coroner Creagh at once made an
affidavit before Recordler Honghton
ohar ing Coughlin with murder.
"IS THIS .\ TRACK 8HOULD
NOT BE BEATEN?"
SMany poor people afflicted with.
a sickly fastidiousness, and a disor
dered digestive apparatus are crying
out "we have had enough of that
sort of thing; give us something
else how besides the Customhouse
ontrages; we hnav heard enough of
them."
It is to this ~,,ry snit of on
tentedness with merely making a
"great cry" and gathe inug no wool,
that we owe so many of the failures
Sof our lives. Thereis no persistency
in a given course. We make the
fatal mistake of imagining that all
we have to do to effect reformations,
to accompl sii able ends, is, to
makho one gt uioie,, and to fold
our armu and lull in iancied security,
believing that the thing is done.
Theru are happily those who believe
ditffer'utly, and whS know better.
'And they are persuaded in this
Scase that unless the hideons char
!acter of the recent outrages is ex
posed; unless the whole voiee of
i the American people is heard iu 'ite
Sdenunciatory tones; unless the Pmre
of the country, keeps up attention
to the flagrait usurpations of popa
!ar rights by the Federal appointees
in the New Orleans Customhouse,
the whole object and aim of all the
struggle will fail of ultimate secom
plishmeunt and realization. We are
fain to acknowledge that this is now
a beaten track, hbut
I, this a trask shbould not be beats ?

Till there has been such a vindi

people, till sIgl a negative ex

'ular rights and privileges against
the usurpations of designing, un

trials in tha tlaltafPimit Court
against colored men who had mar
riedrWbit. uwensw d widtam ss
who had married colored men, in
The rosectis were based on
the allegations that the partieswere
living in a state of forniacti6a, the
intermarriage of white persons
with colored ones being contrary
to the laws of Georgia.
It  m ueless that Oonmel for
the accssd moved for tranbr of
the caes to the U.ted Statem Dis
trict Court, .laing.5 that under the
guarantees of the fiMeoth amend
ment all persons are fee and equal
in the eye of the law, it was
resolved to try, and punish the par
ties, so as to vindicate "the moral
feelings of the people," and this
must be done even at the expense
of emuliting with an amendment
to the Constitution of the Umiled
States.
The trials excited the intensest
interest ,in all clases of the com
munity, antjhe Court room was
daily crowded with thonands of in
terested spectators of all classes.
We copy from the A.tlanta un
the sentenoes as pronounced against
these people.
By a parity of reasoning it would
appear that according to Georgia
law, the marriage of a white per
sqn, with one of color, is as hein
ous an offence as the one for which
Joe Ray has just been sent to the
Pariah Prison of New Orleans.
These decisions have elicited the
wildest applause from the Georgia
Democracy, and now they even
"breathe easier." In Georgia, "mis
cegnation even when sanctioned by
the unholy status of other States,
shall be crushed out, trampled un
der foot, and the guilty parties shall
meet with sure, certain and condign
punishment"
Such offenders are told that they
must go to Tennessee, go to Mfa-ia
chusetts, go wherever corrupt and
infamous law makers will protect
them, but there is no place for them
in Georgia.

THE CUSTOMHOUSE CLIQUE.
Turning to Louisiana, we se the
same hell-hatched tactics in opera
tion by the same class of men, cer
tain leaders determined to rule or
rain, are now dividing the Republi
can Party, in order tobethe Leaders
of some fraction of the people and
ooocpy the oees. of State.
The most bitter, anddamaging
contest is now going on in that
State. Two Conventions, have been
held, tworivals candidates, for Gov
ernor will doubtless be the result,
and two sets of' candidates for all
other positions in the State. This
will leave the field open to tche
Democracy, who will sweep the
State, and Ele;t :heir ticket, and
thus as;me the control of the
State, and throw its powerful weinLt
in the Presidential contest in 72.
for a Donjcratic President. The
persistent determination of the fae
tionista, shows how desperate they
are, and to what length they will
go to carry their purposes. They,
ha've invoked the Federal troops to
guard them in conceoting their
plans, they had appointed the Con
vention to meet in the Customhonuse,
where they could control every
body, and every thing to suit them
selves, and they drove the Governor
and the Legitimate Representatives
of the people, from the Hall where
the Convention was to have been
held, compelling them to retire to
another place. The composition of
the Executive Committee and the
action of the Clcrrmau, with all thie
combinations, incident to this im
broglio, shows which way thiin:s
are going and what may be exp,. t
ed in the future.
We see in these attemptsof these
unprincipled men, the coming storm
which is to move the body politic
in '72. These men must be taught
that the time is coming when, they
cannot, by their inflaence and
brazen impudence, control the des
tinies of the millions*in the South
to gratify their avoricious maws for
ofice and plunder. Their pretended
desire for the success oft the BRepu)
lican party means the eontinncee
of themsdrue in power, the perpetna
i of their sway over the iassr
by trickery and knavery. The
plundering of the South to gratify
their spleen and fill their pockeal
with ill gotten gain, white the poor
deluaded, sattered, robbed, and dis
tracted people are snuffering for want
of that prosperity which is an abs
lute necemity to their happines.
The South want. pews, harmony
and conert otf ation. The people
want rest from the ineursions of
these hoards of vrandals who eat up
their substance and devastate their
land. When, Oh When, wal these
people learn wisdom ?P-From, the
