THE LIBERAL CONVENTION.
Every body seems anxious to
know what this Convention will do.
Not a few feel that it will prove a
failure.
That it is in the power of that Con
vention to make a ticket which can
achicve success, none doubt; but
will it do it ? " that's the question."
Speaking for that portion of the
colored people who dislike the Kel
logg ticket, we say emphatically
that they cannot and will not, sup
port any ticket on' which their class
is not fairly represented; nor any
party that does not recognize the
equality of all men before the law,
without regard to race or oolor;
we do not care who asserts the con
trary.

TBE IBERVILLE NEWS
AMD ITS
.■ NOMNEE FOR OOVEBKOR.
In our last issue we copied the
leader of the Iberville News, headed
"Hurrah for Pinchback" and devo
ted to the advocacy af the availabil
ity and qualifications of that gentle
man for Governor of Louisiana.
Messrs. Halstead and Loud the ed
itors of the News are two enterpri
sing and intelligent white Republi
cans and are deeply interested in
the success and perpetuity of Repub
licanism pure and simple, they
reside in a Republican parish and
they are constantly brougLt in con
tact with the people throughout the
State, and they consequently know
pretty well the perils of the hour
and the wants and need of the peo
». They know hpw our party is
tortured and torn, and they know
some of the aspirants for the office of Gov
ernor, their scrutiny penetrates to the bot
tom of the difficulties, their sagacity
perceives the solutibn of the problem
in the election of Mr. Pinchback, and
they resolutely propose "out of the
nettle danger to pluck the flower
safely" by plaoing him at the head
of our State Administation. Wheth
er the Convention next Friday will adopt
this suggestion remains to be seen.
One thing may be regarded as cer
tain, if any Republican can be elected
Governor in November, lib. Pinch
back can be.
CIVIL BIGHTS SUIT.
Madame Josephine Deenier, of
the parish of Pointe Coupee* propo
ses to prove to the owners and con
ductors of the steamboat "Governor
Allen" that notwithstanding she is
'guilty of the color of a skin," she
yet possesses rights which they are
bound to respect. This lady having
been denied adequate accommoda
tion on the Allen while on her way
to her plantation, has entered suit
in the Eighth District Court to r< •
cover actual and exemplary dam
ages, which her complaint alleges
she endured to the extent of seven
ty-five thousand dollars.
She says that "she was forced to
remain in a small compartment in
the rear of said boat without the
common conveniences granted to
the other passengers; that her meals
were brought out to her to sàid
place after all the cabin passengers
and officers hod sat at the table and
eaten.
The petitioner adds that she was
compelled to sit up all night, al
though a bed was offered to her on
the floor of said boat, which she re
fused for the reason that the place
was public and a place of passage
for every ono, and she could not, on
account of delicacy, disrobe herseli
or bo exposed to the sight of every
one."
A Questionable S hape .—In our
a call from the State Central Com
mittee for a mass meeting in Me
chanics' Institute on Monday even
ing. What object the Committee
have in view and what really useful
purpose this gathering is intended
to serve we fail to discover.
To us it appears that positions
have been well enough defined aud
thoroughly understood, speeches,
a dd resses and circulars have abound—
ed, and a modicum of patience till
next Friday would have afforded
tee "distinguished speakers" the
fullest opportunity to ventilate their
eloquence.

Lieuteucnt Governor Pinchback aT
"incendiary," and appeals to the
prejudice of the black man,
by allusions to ''Pinchback and
his little squad of mulattoes." We
have no care about the "Pic" and
its insidious mischievousaess, but
we will tell the colored people why
tiie,Picnyune resorts to falsehoods,
misrepresentation and tho charge
of "Incendiarism"; it is because he
has been "instant in season and out
of season", boldly and manfully de
fending their rights and demanding
for them the recognition, and secu
rity of equal rights, in the school
house, in the hotels, on the steam
boats, on the railroads and all other
public places. The false and mali
cious attempt to prejudice the black
man against Mr. Pinchback has been
tried frequently; made by men who
were far more likely to succeed than
the "Dolly Vörden" crowd. It was
tried when he ran for the Constitu
tirnal Convention; for delegate from
the State at large to the National
Convention of the Republican party
in 1868; for State Senator; and in
the recent U. S. Senatorial contest
in favor of the late "Lt Governor
Dunn." And in each instance sig
nally foiled to influence asinglecol
ored vote. And the pitiable, des
picable efforts of the Picayune will
meet the same fate. The colored
people know and feel that honest
men, with legitimate and worthy
purposes in view would not resort
to such methods to destroy confi
dence in a political or party adver
sely, and they know that this effort
this abuse and slander heaped on
their chief spokesman and represen
tative man, is but evidence of the
desire and determination of the
"last ditchers" and Co., to get rid if
possible of Pinchback," and it will
constitute one of hiebest recommen
dations to the confidence and sup
port of the colored people of Loui
CLUB IRREGULARITIES.
We hesrtily agree with the St
James Sentinel in its reprobation of
the conduct of men who make it
their business to break up club
meetings in rows,and by the resort to
sticks, knives and pistols, if they
cannot otberwiso control the ac
tion of those present. Constitu
tionally opposed to rowdyism and
desperadoism, we cannot withhold
onr severest condemnation of r
practice which we lament to ob
serve threatens to obtain in our
midst
Several instances have recently
occurred in New Orleans, and the
parishes, in which violence, and the
brandishing and use of deadly wea
pons have been resorted to de
defeat the passage of some ob
noxious resolution, or to prevent
some objectionable speaker from
addressing the assemblage. Such
proceedings are essentially wrong?,
and cannot be justified, no, not
even tolerated among reasonable
men. Political workers, bummers,
roughs, even "the boys" must all
learn that permanent success can
not follow persecution, the gag, vio
lence and the wanton shedding of
blood. "Peacehath, her triumphs
no less renowned than war," but
her victories are not won by such
means. .

LIEUT.fGOVERNOR
NAME.
DUNN'.*
There are in onr State a little
gang of peripatetic demagogues
who attract attention tr>, and re
receive consideration for, them
selves, by bellowing, incoherently,
vociferously, aud with asinine per
sistency, the name and virtues of
Lient. Gov. Dunn.
They endeavor to create the im
pression now that they were on
terms of intimacy with him during
his lifetime and by a process of reason
ing peculiar to this class, argue that
consequently they are entitled, since
he is dead, to the confidence and
respect which he enjoyed. Truth
and honesty compel its to enter our
protest against tho claim of friend
ship whioh these reputationless
nomads so constantly put in. It is
within the penfonal knowledge of
men who knew Mr. Dunn that he
entertained no flattering opinion of
his now posthumous parantes, never
accorded them the regard bestowed
on decent people, and it is a no
torious fact that these enterprising
seekers after respectable association
utterly failed to darken Mr. Dunn's
doors until, (with true appreciation
of their value,) he became involved
in the unhappy political conflict in
our party, when to utilise all avail
able means, he tolerated this crowd
to a certain extent in order that he
might use them. And on this
flimsy pitiable recognition rests the
claims to friendship which the peo
ple of Louisiana have seen so con
stantly paraded in the columns of
the Fag, Grand Err & Co.
KENNER'S SALOON.
The exhibition of intelligent and
honorable enterprise in any depart
ment of butinées properly so called,
is always more gratifying to behold,
and more substantial and satisfacto
ry to pursue, than the uncertain and
precarious dependence on second
rate political preferment invohing
as it does the fulfilment of so many
conditions and contingencies all
of specially doubtful tenure.
The friend of whom we write hss
himself ha# some esperiencks of
this sort and whether from necessi
ty or choieeb it is not nece s sar y to
our purpose to enquire, but we find
him striking ont in a new line.
He has procured afine hodse, No.
13 Dryades street, and fitted up, a
first rate drinking saloon, a fine airy
and comfortable billiard room with
one of "Phelan and CollandersV'
best tables and fixings; besides re
serving a splendid parlor up stairs.
The bar is amply supplied with a
stock of finest spirits, bitters, liquors
and cordials, the first class dispen
sing of which to all customers is
guaranteed when we say j that Mr.
Louis Kenner personalty superin
tends this department On the
opening night, about a week ago;
Mr. Kenner gave his friends and
prospective customers a benefit and
from the "samples" we took no in
significant share i$ imbibing, we are
satisfied that the most fastidious
tastes of SLConnoineur wont suffer any
offence.
Mr Kennels banner is now flung
to the breeze. We know of no one
combining more of tho elements re
quisite to insure or to deserve suc
cess than our diminutive friend
"Lou" and we cordially wish him
success and wait to drink it in a
bumper, and some of our readers
may hear the report of the cork.
Our popular friend, M Séjour,
Jr.,.has erected a cigar stand in the
saloon, and waits to paw the weed
to patrons.

MEETING IX TERREBONNE.
The Customhouse giants baring
announced that they wonld have a
meeting in Honma last Saturday,
Lieut. Gov. Pinchback, and General
Hugh J. Campbell resolved to pat
in an appearance, and have a pas
sage of arms on the stump. But
their intention leaked out and forth
with the valiant "gatlin gunners"
crawfished. Heralds were sent over
the parish to say that there would
be no meeting. The arrival of
Messrs. Pinchback and Campbell,
however gave assurance that they
would have a meeting any way. A
platform was hastily erected under
the supervision of Tbos. S. Cage,
Esq. The party repaired to th«
residence of Hon. F. Marie* to
which also came dropping quite a
number of gentlemen of tho parish
to welcome the visitors. At the set
time the speakers took the stand
and addressed the assemblage. The
sechen were listened to with
marked interest by the bulk of the
audience, evidence of rudeness and
interference coming only from
O'Hara, W. H. Keys, Sam. Green
and one or two other Customhouse
employees. Alter the meeting the
speakers were conveyed to the
residences of Messrs. Cage and
Marie, where hospitalities were coi -
diallv bestowed and received. In
the evening a number of the most
prominent colored men of the par
ish, including nearly every President
of tho ward clubs c«lled at Mr.
Cages'and assured Mr. Picnhback
of their accord with him,and fervent
ly hoped that he would yet be able to
unite the party for tho campaign.
The following is General Camp
bell's speech:
Mr' President and Fellow-citizens
of Terrebonne—I had the pleasure
two years ago, in this same grove,
to address you. I waa then hare
with a man you alllcved, and whoee
memory you revere, a colored man,
the Lieutenant Governor of the
State—Dunn. We had « meeti _
of Republicans here not very much
larger than this. It wss just before
the lastdection. AtthattimeGov.
Dunn and myself were united in the
same adviee to you. To-day Ieome
before you a Republican, as before,
speaking to yon whom I belie va to
be Repehii*n8, as b ef o re; tatting
to you who have the same int er ests
at stake aa yon had at that tune;
talking to yon in the pre sence of a
greater danger than confronted yon
then. I come to you again in com
pany with the Lieutenant Governor,
also a colored man.
Who, my friends, is this gentk
man who has just been talking to
ou, your Lieutenant Governor ?
will tell yotL
Six years ago, when I first met
him in New Orleans, in the ward
clubs, be was endeavoring to secure
the election of Republicans to the
Constitutional Convention, and it
was mainly through his exertions
that so many RepubUcana were
elected. You all re®»ibsr the con
vention that was held to make a
constitution for the State of Louisi
o. Well, both Governor Dunn
and Governor Pinchback ran for
delegates to that contention, and
Governor Pinchbeck wee successful,
defeating Governor Dunn in the
fourth ward, because he was belter
known to the people. That conven
tion met und the first article intro
duced by Governor Pinchback waa
what is now known as article thir
teen of the State constitution, which
says that "all rights, civil, political
and public, shall be guaranteed
nelly to colored men as well as
white men." On that article is based
every law which gives you the same
rights as white men. This was the
work of Gov. Pinchback. Next he
nea elected to the Senate.
The first measure he introduced
waa the civil righta bifl, to enforce
article thirteen. Whenever yonr
righta Wera attacked or m ii i abe d
he wae the foremost to defend them*
Yet we axe told that he is charged
with not being a Republican. If
after ell he haa dome^ he ie not a
Republican, lor God'e sake teU me
what aman must do do to beeaOed
a Republican by otter people. [A
«te-We dont $mmd Pindt

to beer it I claim lor ntyaetf that
as to all the measure* I rave refer

get yon after awhile (Saveraj
voicee—Yon'e got us dis time.)
Now, my friends, I told you once
before that if yon h«4 control of the
State government the firet thing
that would go down would be your
school system. I see some men
here that I know have children, and
I need not tell them, at least, thst
the neareat thing to a man's or wo
man's hwt ia the welfare of their
children. If yon have anch laws aa
will give your children the oppor
tunity for an education that will fit
them to occupy à better position in
this life than the one you now fill,
and yon know that this right has
been secured to them by your ef
furta, you will have done your
whole duty to them, and feel all the
pride that comes of a sense of duty
well performed, and go down lo
your graves happy and contented.
But if; by your divisions, the ene
mies of our party should triumph,
and onr school laws go down, though
your children will not Le remanded
to slavery, the condition into which
they would foil would be but little
better. Let me assure you there is
more danger ahead now than there
was two years ago, or at any time
ainee the pamge of the reconstruc
tion acts, for you are in danger of
constitution.
losing even your
Governor Pinchback baa told you
how the Customhouse ring has re
fuaed point blank to unite with us
and how they even turned men out
of their own convention, in order to
iuaurethe success of their selfish
aima. We have always been anxious
for Republican unity, and in- order
to secure it our convention went to
Baton Bouge for the sole .purpose
of making a last appeal, in order
that reconciliation might be brought
about and the party saved from de
struction. They refused to unite,
because if our convention bad as
sembled with theirs the schemes of
the riug would have been overthrown
[A voice—And Billings would have
been nominated for Governor.] We
had no candidate at Baton Rouge.
We were only eeeking to unite the
party, and had no candidates.
The Kellogg ticket can not be
elected, because in old times it took
the votee of the entire Republican
party to insure success. Since this
is the ease, how do theee men «
t > carry their ticktt when the
of their own convention waa driven
away by their frauds and malprac
tices; and the whole of our conven
tion waa barred out I tell
friend^ the Baton Ronge t
not a Republican ticket; and gentle
men who were in that aofc«antion,
prominent men like Colonel Garter,
Mr. Mary and Mr. BtUinp» ass ure
us it is not Republican, and ask us
in our convention to, présent abet
ter ticket that all the Republicans
of the State can vote for.
I have said all I had to say, ex
cept one thing. You have been
torn that some of us were not for
General Grant Now, if I can help
&win Republican success in this
te by going for General Grant I
àm for him.
àm going for him.
Politica don't etand still; men
move, parties move; parties change,
and a great change has come over
the minds of the American people.
I remember the time when the party
of program in this country was the
party that insisted on the emanci
pation of the slaves, and the party
of conservatism insisted on keeping
slavery where it wss. The war was
not made to abolish slavery. I re
member when Abraham Lincoln
and bia party insisted that if the
Union could be saved witiaont dis
turbing slavery to save it in that
way, and it took two years^of JjSa
astrous war to edu c a te
ooln uptothe point of
tion; two years of femài^
feat; two yeara throughout
his armiee wh^wbtai^flM&seat*
tered to the four wijm of the earth
because the "Go# of battles" was
sgsinst him. Ilot till then did Mr.
Lincoln reaKaa that enmncipition
