ai On Tuesday lust we had a
very pleasant interview- with our
confrere of the Attakupa; Register,
Hon. Emerson Bentley
iW We copy elsewhere a card to
the Iberville News, which has been
also sent to us for publication. Mr.
Williams is a colored man and of
well known reputation.
aSii A mother tin a plaatation in
V"1A1 , a few days ago, poisoned
three of her children with strych
nine, administering it for quinine.
A 8octor was fortunately nigh and
saved two of the luilren, but the
youngest one died ailut half ai
hour after taking the poison. It is
supposed that the medicine was
left on the place when the war
broke out, and- had been kept for
quinine by those who found it.
Sai We are glad to u1)9 t vu the
appointment of Proutsso P. 11.
Williams as Keeper of the Iovs

C ter has y n&te t d - (ear I.
Dunn has signed a.tive ai l .t ha:f
column letter to Hoer1 1 .k..
To use one of Mr. Carter's roe'
slightly modified, the letter ýh re
the Lieutenant G(rerpot a"s r
manner to be a first-class success."
Mr. Dunn starts out with gravity,
gets fecetions in the middle, makes
fun of Horace aý an agriculturist,
and finally gets mad, hurls defiance,
and tells the whole journalistic world
to mind its own business, in this
fashion: "And with alldue respect
to you- (H. 0. ; andl your journalis
tic con /reres permit me to say that
we know our evils and their reme
dies, and are competent to attend
to our owti polit ical interests, and
we intend to do "o without regard
to " outside censure or dictation."
If matters continue to run as badly
throughout the State as they have
begun in Tt rri vie and St. Charles
parishes. Messrs. Dunn and Co.
will shortly have no "political inter
ests" left to atwnil ti. Roat beef
and brass bands wan; muster them
a corporr.l's giuird. And Mr. Dunn
unkindly overlooks the fact, in slur
ring Mr. Greeley and his confreres,
that but for such men as he and
them, the possibility of a colored man
occupying the Lieutenant-Gover
norship would e ot be an impossi
bility.
The writer goes for "carpet-b.ig
gers," especially Gen. McMillen,
Lynch, Gov. Warmoth, Herron,
Southworth, Conway, Dibble and
West, but modestly intimates that
if they will abstain from politics
and "invest their caffital," they may
yet be "cordially welcomed by the
native population!' Why Beaure
gaud, Forrest, or the editor of the
New Orleans lToe t himself, could
not offer more flattering induce
ments for soldiers of the Cnion to
"locate" among us!
Mr. Dunn then proceeds to in
struct the President that "if he de
sires to strengthen our confidence
in him and increase the successes
of the Republican party in Louis
iana, he will not only continue these
faithful servants 'the Gatlin gun
ners) in their positions, but give
them his warr:.est commendation
for their condnct." That is, unless
tije President keeps these men in
othee, and stands by them, notwith
standing the unqualified and uni
versal condemnation of their action
-nut only by the press and peopke
in this State, but by the prtes and
people of the entire count'ry' with
tut regard to party predilections
he oc:unot erpect the support lf
M" . unm for the Presidency.
With reference to two Cl'nven
tions he says: "ind.about the same
time the LorIsz. 1A` of which Sena
tor Pinchback is proprietor an
nounced that there would be two
C~onventioneu. These aminouncemneuts
of Senator Pinebback" etc.
Does Mr. Dunn not kmow that
the proprietor is not necessarily the
Seditor ? and does he not know that
I Senator Pinchbeck is not the editor1
Iof the Loeve am ix Bnt we will
tell him now, that Senator Pinch
back knew no more of the article in
question than any of the other
readers of the Louusuax'e did, and
lit us an nttei'ly groundless assertion
'to connect the articlein question
with any purpose on the part of
IGovernor Warmoth..
Now we come to a very queer
cir'cumstance connected with the
publishing of this voluminous epis
tie. Tt origina appeared in the
Sundjuy issue of the defunct Cdtiien's
GIa E.w, and wound up with four
specific and numbered charges
Iagainst his Excelleney Governor
Warmoth, to wit: lst-bribery'; 2d
-giving himself a mammoth prinq
ting contract; sd-misusing his
Iposition as fiduciary agent of the
tihe Sitate to subserve hiis personal
interests; and 4tli--il1egally remov
ing Secretary of State Bovee.
IThe Guard had no cireulation
here, but it is suspected
that. a lot of extra copies .t this
dlosing number were struck off to
circulate this letter at the North.
But to give it circulation at home,
Mr. Dmmnia procured iis insertion in
the leading Democratic organ, the'
Thmes, after first carv'fullydeiminat.
gjg all these spec rc accusehoa,-
which really constituted the chief
substance of the letter. Why was
this dons? Simply l'r'c'use the
dharges were untrue anid libellous.
and the Tames is a.esponsiIle iapei'.
The levity which. ckaraetern~s
this production is exeeedixigly un
dignmfied in the Zientenant Goc
*erar, aall unbecoming the gravity
of the qunshosu dispute. Frow

We are necessarily urwarq of the
extent to which the Preykdnt will
feel called on to proceed is his is
quiry, but the further he goes the
better for us.
There is one little fact that thq,
President mentioned, which tou thes
t(le corn s of Marshal Packard again.
Not only does "the highest su-,
thority" repudiate for himself all
knowledge and authority for the
use of the Troops at the Custom
house, but he says that "General
Reynolds when he tilled the requisi
Lion of Marshal Packard did not
know they were to he use4 4 a
Political Convention." This is ap
other step towards stripping the
bayonet rulers of authlity or sanc
tion for the use of troops, and re
ducos it to the position in which we
first placed it, yiz, that it was the
bull headed exercise of "a littlebrief
authority' and that conferred for
entirely dillerent purposes.
It reumain.i to ho seen whether,
apart from all the outrages which
Republicans here bave puffered, a
United States marshal, aided by
other Federal employees, will be
permitted with impunity to prosti
tute the services of the soldiers of
the lnoted States army, for the
furtherance of purely partizan pur
pose.; whethor this is to be done
without even the knowledge of "the
highest authority," and by imposi
tion on the crodulity, of and misre
presentation to, the oThier in comn
uantd.of the troops.
It were uuhesM to say to men
capable of such impxostitionis that
the ýpie1iw r'ri is little less
heinous than the saqge emo hlsri
Both in this case areecalodlated and
intended to deceive, aud they rgpilt
in leanding astray. lift these are too
trifli:g eonsithrations for men who
hlvo been capable of the monstrous
things 'lone he the C('toiihouse
cliqse'laltely: and we are not prep-.
osinzI to waste the time of our
r('allers while we morahte them on
the nstture, tendency and effects of
f:sehood.
Republicans here, and every.
wherl, want to kinow' the iews of
the conmmaander in chief of the army,
they want to know what the Presi
dent iof the United States thinks of
the conduct of his p; oiutees, they
want to have some asstrances that
in the fntnre their liberties will not
be IiAlble to be summarily abridged
the hthyonet, they want that soldiers
of the army, will not be pitte3 un
necessarily, wantonelv and reck
lessly against the civil authorities
of a peaceable State, they want
that the Federal goevunment 'Will
either restrain the use of the army
within its legitimate bounds, o
puni'ish those who abuse their power
by the untimely and prematwre use
of the soldiery. We want this for
security in the future, we want it
for the punishment of .,il dues and
for the praise of those that do well.

It is our pu ere simply to

until Mr. Bonzano and other Ad

3 . Editor:- A feeling of sympa
thy (owing to a want of knowledge)
appea revail j some, of the
parishes, among our people, to
elh ycamz minre :.pr~n Lt.
I Go, Dnmr fr the nisimatm for
Gev. of the State in 1872. Yet
*b n aded, 'wtty they neglect their
bent in ti to sympathize with
the Lt. .thir reply is, "that
they intin& to nominate him, be
roese he .i a, colored man," and
that enough has already been told
Stjwem by that fsctien that they
are sure to elect him as Governor
of thState of Soaisiina in 1872,
no mntter who the candidate may
be against him in the nomination."
This then is the reason why the
Customhouse faction were sn eager
to control the State Convention
which asasebled on the 9th of last
August in the U. 8. Courtroom, in
U. S..Customhoi e, whose entrance
was guatded by 9. Deputy Mar
shals, who were supported by U. S.
soldiers obedient to the command
of U. S. Marshal Packard, President
of the State Central Committee.
We admit that they were nibbling,
and would have rested more con
tented, had they been ineceesful in
admitting one-third of the number
assmbmbd as duly elected dole
'gates from the different parishes,
even if they were friends of Gov.
WVmoth, so that they could have
had some claim on the intelligent
Republicans throughout the State
as to their actions being legitimate.
i But in this they have failed. And
now, like the "wolf and the lamb,"
who clainied to have sustained an
injury from his grandsire, ho the
lamb must answer for it; their chief
aim is to deceive the tineducated
masses, of our people with th< cry
that Gov.. Warmoth has imposed
on Lt. (lv. Dunn, and has treated
him with contempt and in fact he
has treated Lt. Gov. Duna most
horrible; simply because Dunn is a
negren and Warmoth don't like a
"nigger" anyhow. -
INow sir, I ask, what is the great
wrong that Gov: Warmoth has been
guilty of doing to Lt Gov. Dunn 4
Was it 'beeame of the interruption
that he is reputed to have given the
Lt Gov. in those "little printing
'dntrea3t," or was it on account of
the disappointments he gave to
some of the Lieutenant Governor's
appointments ? If not either of
these, 'why then does the Lt. Gov.
hold 'IIe peace and refrain from
satisfying his constituents as to his
reason for this outburst against
Gov. Was'moth and the State Ad
ministration, of which he is a sub
stantial mshiber ? Can Lt. Gov.
Dunn expect the intelligent classes
of his race to sacrifice their inter
est; to be eamnered by the white
Republieen throughout the coun
try; denounced by all Republican
Governments as en ungratshul race,
by supporting 'an, ambitious or
ebaceited individual simply because
hele i colored man ? Is it not a
elear guin to earrace to drop such
leaders *nd filll their vacancies with
men who are more conciliating,
more comnptent, and .who would
h~sitate betore committing so gross
ani orror as has, been done by the
(Oisteohbouee faction of the Repub
licdh'phrty, said to be led by IlL
Gov. Dnan, in the attempt to gain
control of the Republican party in
this State for self aggraudizemeut ?
The clique say that Lieutenant
6overiho Dunn is about the beat
qualified man of color in the State,
Atting for the position of Governor;
and that be isathe representative
man of our race. What then has
become of some others we might 4
nam.'? Has the Customhouse fac
tion forgotten that they are still in
existence ? For instance are they'
noit aware that State Senator P. BR
8. Pinchbaclc in as popular a colored
man ah there is in the State of Lou
isiana? "Does not even Lieutenant
Governor Duna know that the poli
tical canreer of Mr. Pinchbaek has I
met tlse approbation of not only his
constituents in this State, but his
fame as £ representative men of his
race, reverberates throughout this~
eniet? This them should have
beau a warnhig to all thees indivi
mla who have deemed Ita neess
to withdraw their sujyart from
the State Adznimihtietam, and to1
give it to Federal e~oe-holders,

publican party will be an induce
ment to cause him to withdraw
from the eontss, and lead his aid

tory to the election in 1872." And
yet he claims to be working for th
good of the party and the walfam
of his race.
"The evils that men do, live after
them" and in this ense, we will end
that the Democrats when once in
power will undo in one seesion of
the Legislature what it required the
Republicans years of toil, suffering
and bloodshed to accomplish.
Yes, they would soon change our
status in this State And they wouki
not only neutralize our votes by
specific ordinanes, but then will
enforce political tortures upon ts
that will compel a great many, to
seek shelter outside of the State di
Louisiana. But I hope this will
not be the case; and unless our peo
ple have more enlightenment on
this subject, there is no remedy that
will save us from a Democratic de
feat in the election in 1872.

PLA.QuWXmv, Aug. 26, 1871
To the Edmtors &thelberteilkNuws:
GEamr'oLsx-I beg the privilegt
of a small space in your paper,
feeling it my duty to disabuse th<
minds of my Republicuu friends in
this parish, of the erroneous arr.i
falsified statements in regard to nn
political position made by one J
Henri Burch, of East Baton Rouge,
who came to this place a week ogL
as the shampion of a set of unprin
cipled men, residing here, who hast
been for the past three years rob
bing the people of this parish, an.
are now trying to ruin the part)
which, through the providence of
God, vouchsafed unto the colored
mail his freedom.
I am to-day, and ever have been
a bettor ~tpublican than Mrv. Boeeh
ever can be. My record is this
pariah, as a Republican and an
honiest man, is without spot or'
blemish.
His statement that he had a talks
with me, at Baton Rouge4 and that
I coincided with him in his argu-j
mont ageinist Governor Warmoth,
I must pronoupee a meet wilful
falsehood. I am ever ready, as a
friend of Governor Warmoth, to:
defend lhis administration against
the baee attacks of such adventu
rers as J. Henri Burchm.
I fail to see what chima Mr.;
Burchm has upon the coloated people
of this State When hi. services
were needed to msint ia suppressing
the late rebellion, where was he'?
