W~rMore important engagements
demanding the monopoly of the
time of Lieutehant Governor Pinch
back, the manager of this paper
hitherto, he is compelled to retire
from active participation in the work
of the Lotusr~u . The conduct
of the business portion of our jour
nal has devolved on another, and
having secured the services of Mr.
JoHs C. McLEOD, this gentleman
will henceforward be our special
agent in this city to solicit anbserip
tions, enter into contracts and re
ceive amounts due our paper.
O,, Di--TIat Speaker Catter went
into the House with a Speaish mantle
thrown over his shoulders, and that
underneath this he had everything in
the shape of weapolse, except a uentlasse,
which he could not carry as it would
get between his legs. Who said fight?
What is all this preparation about?
Only a man ill at ease wears a weapon,
when there is no danger. The Carter
ites followed the example of their
chief.

QTR WAfI G.
f The d n of the en w ocon
coctd aid ptfedled the agnuu
I schdme tbr the diumption of the
Republican party and the ascendan
Sy of Democracy, under the flimsy
r, guise of "Reform" have now made
themselves apparent. The league
which has been entered into by
some of the Republicans of both
houses with the Democratic mem
bers is one that pleases the Dem
, ocratic party. It is well known that
. they cannot be appeaed unless at
t, the least some portion of Repub
licanism is sacrificed ; some prop
pulled down. And already, we are
told that Republicans have
covenanted with them to repeal the
very aets, without which the Re
publican triumph in the last gen
eral elections would have been con
siderably more difficult, if not ab
_ solutely problematical. And now
we find these supports sought to
be taken away, and by the hands of
the very men in whose interest and
for whose protection these laws
were passe,. To compass these
k wicked designs, several things must
be done. The Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor must be removed,
a-nd both branches of the Legis
lature controlled in the interest of
this mongrel combination, for the
gratification of malevolence, and the
advancement of Democracy.
We warn the Republicans in this
intrigue, we call on the colored men
L who are aiding the accomplishment
of these purposes, to "beware!"
"Woe unto you" when the security
and the liberties of your people are
jeopardized or abridged by your
misconduct.
"Woe unto you" when the Demo
cratic party is pleased with your
[political affiliation with them.
"Woe unto you" when on account
of inconsiderate, hasty, angry im
pulses, you endanger the best and
most sacred interests of the people
who sent you to the Legislature to
protect them.
We lift up our voice now in the
earnest hope that it will induce
some of our Representative men to
pause and consider the work they are
doing. To reflect on the direful con
sequences of the relinquishment of
those statutes which now constitute
the chief glory of our Republicanism.
Let them remember that the repeal
of the Common School Act is
among the demands of the Demo
cracy. Let them bear in mind that
the defeat of all Civil Rights mea
sures is a prominent feature of their
pogramme, and let them for a mo
ment imagine the load of ignominy
that must attach to any man or set
of men claiming to be Republicans,
and especially colored men, through
whose agency or conivance such ca
lamities are made to fall on us in
Louisiana at this stage of our po
litical history.
a7gThe masone fraternity of
Berry Lodge No. 45 turned out on
Sunday last. Severalother masonic
societies joined them at their hall
and preceded by Kelly's band,
marched to Canal street, along
Canal to Roman street, thence to
St James chapel where appropriate
services were held. After the ser
vice the brothers returned by the
same route to their banquet hall,1
where they regaled themselves with
suitable refreshment. The occasion
was remarkable for the perfect ac- I
cord and geniality which pervaded
the entire brotherhood. Such com
memorations and reunions are pro
fitable.
tIf evidence were wanting, which
it is not, of the design apparent in the
Customhouse ring to destroy the Re
publican party of the State, it would
be found in the vote registered yester
day in the House where Republicans'
united with men who shed the blood i
of their people in 1868 to destroy Be- a
publican power forever. The stroke I
f none the less hurtful because it is 4
lopped from the parent stem. The
wound is all thle deeper because Re
publicans gave power to the hand that
dealt it.
Were we not right in saying this
Swas only a new move of the ehivalry ?
Look out, olored men! The triumph
of the ring is your disgrace and down
fall. c

A' 'W F EX P ATION.
The ltoi of the Grand Era ob
hisa tcA hig s speeches "gar
S ;bled;" but strange he does not
- seem to think that perhaps some
y other people might dislike it too.
e In the last issue of that paper we
e find him selecting a part of a para
v graph of a speech attributed to
i Lieutenant Governor Pinchbeck,
a- nd endeavoring evidently to array
against him colored men who have
t come here from other places on ac
t count of a remark he made with
reference to '"black carpet-baggers."
p Mr. 1¢inckback, in the speech re
e ferred to, made the point that there
e were some colored men who had
e very recently come to the State, who
r were making it their chief business
- to go about and abuse, traduce and
try to destroy the reputations of
representative colored men who had
w borne "the heat and burden of the
o day," and to whose untiring efforts,
d fidelity and unswerving devotion
d and the advocacy of justice to all,
Is the present security of these very
e men is due, and to the extent that
it they succeeded they were doing in
i- jury to the inbrests of the race and
I, the Republican party itself. These
p- men were the "black carpet-bag
f gers" that Mr. Pinchback spoke ef.
e It was no 'indiscriminate attack
e upon every colored man who was
unfortunate enough not to have
is been born in Louisiana," as the
n editor of the Grand Era well knows.
it Mr. Pinchback's policy and every
I day actions give a flat denial to any
y such ridiculous presumption. Those
e who know these, are aware that the
liberality of sentiment, the dispo
sition to aid even the newest comer
has often involved him in unpleas
r antnees with his friends, and
he has not unfrequently been re
it buked and chided by less liberal
I- ones, for the countenance he gave
d and the prominence he. lent to
e "strangers." When the editor of
the Grand Era first came to New
Orleans a stranger, and unknown,
e from whom did he receive the most
e conspicuous, as well as the most
o substantial recognition? Does Mr.
e Burch pretend to say that it is not
. exceedingly painful for a man with
f .the known antecedents and sur
e roundings, and labors of Mr. Pinch
back, to find himself attacked and
denounced by men who really know
s nothing of him, and who on account
_ of known and purely mercenary
t motives seem to delight in destroy
- ing the influence of prominent col
r ored men, and to build up other
- and highly questionable reputations
on the ruins? This was the class,
and this the class only that Mr.
Pinchback referred to.
MR. BURCH EXPLAINS.
$No doubt some people saw the
report in Sunday's Fag of a meeting
in the second ward on Saturday
night last, in which certain il
uInstrious ones orated to their heart's
content, and the amusement of the
listeners, who were all ordered to
appear there. It does not appear
that the roll was called at the proper
time, but in due course ventilation
took place. A reporterwas there;
and believing that a good deal of
abuse and bombast might contribute
to the acceptability of the speeches
he couldn't fail to supply any omis- 1
sions or negligences that he thought
took place.
His efforts in this respect, how
ever pleasing or flattering they
might be be to some of the Tertul
lusses, were not appreciated so high
ly by the Hon. J. Henri Bureh.
This gentleman desires to say what
he means for himself and justly dis
approves of these gratuitous and
unsolicited helps from a versatile c
reporter's brain. And so Mr. Burch
forthwith wrote a letter to Lieuten- i
ant Governor Pinehback, with re
ference to remarks falsely attributed
to him. He proposes further toi
come out in a "Card " on the sub
ject This letter has been handedt
to us by the Lieutenant Goveruor (
and the follbwing is a copy: i

if The House of Representatives was
41 called to order pirecisely at 12 M.,
te by Speaker Carter and opened with
6, appropriate ceremonies. Eighty
n six members answered to their
1, names. Skirmishing commenced
y early between the rival factions and
it a test vote was soon forced on, when
1- a bare. majority apaeared in sup
d port of the Customhouse clique.
e This was the only significant action
- of Monday. On Tuesday, resolutions

k Speaker were passed by a vote of
a 48 to 44.
re An unworthy effort to unseat

, MALICIOUS MISREPRESENT
it ATION.
it -
r. The National Republican of Jan. 2
it contains a column of the most false
h charges and malicious insinuations
- against a number of gentlemen,
i- which in the interest of truth
d and justice it is obligatory on us to
r notice. The accusation against them
t is that they bainted together and
y beat and shot Mr. T. Morris Chester
on the evening of New Year's day.
I- That Mr. Chester was beaten and
r shot there is no possible doubt, but
s that it was by predetermination
,, and concert we do not believe, and
that we were present, had cogniz
ance of what was going on, or in
the remotest manner participated
in the assault, is emphatically false
in every particular; and the inves
a tigations, which we understand are
to take place, will establish the
truth ef what we say.
The letter of Col. Lewis shows
Ithat another accused gentleman
Mr. Geo. E. Paris, was at Mr. Lew
is' table at the time of the shooting.
Messrs. Corbin, James, Danbar, and
others can, and doubtless will eat
isfactorily prove that their presence
in the neighbonrhood, like our own,
was purely accidental and the result i
of no agreement or pre-arrange
ment. There we' a goodly nam
ber of other gentleinen in the vicin- I
ity of the lamentable occurrence
whose names it did not please the I
malice of the reporter to in
clude among his "horde of ruB
ans."
Like every lover of peace and or-i
der, we deeply lament the occur- I
rence; but we as sincerely depre
cate the depravity which can prompt a
men to deliberate and wickedly en- I
deavor to malign other men with- t
out cause;and we have no hesitation a
in saying that but for the present
ed attitudes which politics has caus
ed certain men to assume, an entire
ly different construction would have
been put on an unfortunate afair,
that we believe had no origin but
in a fortuitons concurrence of eir
cumstances.
We publish elsewhere the letter
of Lt. Gov. Pinchback, to the N ew
Orleans Ties on this subieet.
i We are gratified to
learn that Mr. T. MIorris Chester's
condition is considered to be no
longer criticalt. Mr. P. E. Canonge,
who was imprisnd on the arge
of shooting him, has been released
on bail.
i" No quorunm," is a game that
two can play at. It's your deal now,
gentlemen. 'n
To IUitJ.E of the Nyew Orifn
-  otidS in your issue Of
STuesiy 0 i , 2d, a statement
e headed "Another Unsolicited Visit,'
k I beg leave to reply in terms snf
k- iciently short to claim space in
0 your colutnes.
n The fact in relation to this mat
E ter are simply these: A party of
o gentlemen who had been calling
it upon frta;~topped atMrs. Staek
n house's risidseeein- the joy and
g hilarity of the season, being glad
- to include her in their round of
k- visits.
a Upon the information that she
e had not been receiving calls during
Y the day, the company at onee re
b tired, and in departing came in
k contact with Mr. Chester. Some
one in the party, which was quite
s large (there being four carriage
I, loads), accosted him, and an angry
h altercation immediately ensued. I
V- immediately sought to check it by a
ir personal interkerene, when Mr.
Id Chester with the deepest bitterness
d of tone depreciated my suggestions,
in and I left.
P- Immediately upon reaching my
- carriage, in which were
in seated Senator Butler and Re
s presentative Mahoney, I heard the
le report of Ire-arms, and supposing
of it belonged to the season, I did not
pay any attention to it, until I heard
st seeams, which led me to believe it
I- was something serious; and going
y back I learned that Mr. Chester had
Id been shot. This is all I know.of
Io the circumstance.
re In conclusion, allow me to say
i that there is no, possible reasen for
a representing me as other than a
1- friend to the Stackhonse family, and
d for giving to an accidental occur
'- ance in social life a political signifi
1- cance intended only to injure me.
>f Whatever may be my political
o- pinions, I hereby emphatically pro
e test against being dragged constant
ly before the public upon every
petty occasion, and being made re
sponsible for occurances that may
happen in far better regulated com
munities than this.
2 When I saw the tissue of mis
0 representations in the National Re
publican in regard to myself, it but
' little more than challenged my at
b tention, because the virulence and
0 dishonesty of that sheet toward me
n is too well known to need reply;
but when I find in such a journal
r as the New Orleans Times, a paper
' of wide circulation and command
ing influence, statements calculated
t to do me harm, which have no
2 foundation in truth, and which car
I ry with them that vicious quality
of having a semblance of truth bor
3 rowed from an occurance, I am com
i pelled to express my surprise, and
a to ask that the editor do me the
justice of inserting this communica
tion. Respectfully,
P. B. S. PINCHBACK.

Tb the Ediktr of the Chronicle :
In so far forth as your article is
an indorsement of Mr. Sumners
g supplementary civil rights bill it
- has my cordial approval In so far
d forth as ou would teach in this
d article, either by word or inference,
that anything, even education, as
ordinarily understood, is to precede
1e the possession and enjoyment of
g civil rights, as defined and descnribed
in the bill of Mr. Sumner, I cannot
agree with you. Indeed, the eolor
ie ed man cannot be educated in any
proper sense, however numerous
e may be the school-houses to which
7 he is invited ; however bountiful
Ithe school endowment put within
a his reach, however admirable the
r. school system in accordance with
I the methods of which it is proposed
' to educate him, if he is not made to
feel in the common school, the
'y academy, the college, and the pro
e fessional school, that his manhood,
B- his civil and social rights, are re
0 cognised and respected. This cer
' tainly is true of an American
whether white or black. To attempt
the education of a person in the
it midst of a tolerated and justified
g system of caste, is sure to dwarf
rather than draw out and make
° useful his powers. It leads one so
far to feel himself inferior to those
'y of the dominant class in-the midst
u of whom he moves, as too often to
a aceept patronizing treatment for a
d reognition of his manhood and his
r- rights ; to accept edibles kindly
i- given from a basket, while he fails
to make demand of suitable recog
nl nition of his rights at the public
> hotel I fear that the colored man,
E of whom you speak so highly in
7 your article, has is a large measure
' lost his manhood, and in conse
Squence of the very thing of which I
a- speak.
I would have no colored man
'"thrust" himself upon "white
people." I would have white people
Lt and black stand upon the same
legal level. And, as far as colored
men are educated, learned, virtuous,
e and influential, I would have them
recognized and treated legally and
I socially according to their worth.
r Otherwise, edueation, learning, vir
- tue, and influence possessed by
I colored persons, must be considered
' nigh valueless, while they render
- their possessor sensitive to neglect
P and abuse, and thus ever unhappy.
While, then, I would have our
- schools in the North and in the
1 South largely endowed by grants
of public lands and the judicious
expenditure of large sums of money
from the national and State tres
suries, I would first of all have
Sumner's supplementary civilrights
bill pased by Congress, and I be
lieve that it is the duty of all Re
publimau, as it is the duty of all
colored men in this country, to in
sist upon its passage and enforee
ment without delay.
I am glad that this matter is be
fore the country for consideration
and decision. Let the Repbblican
party crown its noble work of our
emancipation and entranchisement
with the passeage of Sumner's sup
plementary civil rights blil, a bill
containing a full recognition of our
legal rights. With sentiments of
highest consideration, yours truly,
