A COLORED MEN'S GRAPHIC LETTER FROM NEW
ORLEANS TO THE NEW YORK
SUN —WARMOTH’S TROUBLE
SOME TOE.
New York Sun.
N ew Orleans, May 14, 1873.
The colored people down here are in many
respects unlike any members of their race
met elsewhere. Silver mounted pistols and
pearl handled bowie knives are carried by
tome of them, who are also on hand to carry
a message or to ring in for a drink. They
are great believers in diamonds—when they
can get them. After once getting into office
they are good for nothing else, and when re
tired to private life they become chronic
loafers or useless policemen. Politics is the
absorbing theme Among them, and yet it does
not rr#r.jnjtoeir estimation, to ths-dignity of
abasinesn^jaor cvcn4telt'~ of a trade; it is
kimply, a ^mj^r'The trump card for the
Tor the time, the office to be
Tor lost, measure their interest in nffairs
' of State.
The colored officeholders bring some curi
ous qualifications to their duties. The Su-
l*criutcndeni of Education for the State is a
small mulatto man, apparently about thirty-
five years of age, a native of the West Indies,
uud an imperlect scholar, though well in
formed on geneial topics. An able and ex
perienced man would find some difficulty in
administering a system of public education
in which vicious and defective laws allow the
appointment of incompetent school inspec
tors, virtually irresponsible school boards,
and the selection of *the very worst class of
school teachers; but under the direction of
an uneducated and inexperienced man the
system would do nothing but languish, were
affairs even better than they are in this State.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
is a colored man, who speaks broken Eng
lish, and, if competent, scorns to do the
work of his office, which is carried on by a
whiteman. The Lieutenant Governor is a
small man, jet black, and almost wholly un
educated. Ho claims to be a creole, and
speaks plainly enough to be misunderstood.
The king’s English not only suffers in his
month, but one’s ears ache at the shrillness
of his voice. He neither understands rules
nor controls the proceedings of the Senate,
and reminds one in his seat of a very small
mouse that is expecting the appearance of a
very bad cat.
One colored Senator, from Shreveport, is a
barkeeper; another, from Baton Rouge, is a
bummer; and still another, from Natchito
ches, is a preacher. . The first can write his
name, but he could not read it if any one else
wrote it. the second can write his name, but
he couldn’t spell it, except from habit, for he
can’t spell anything else correctly; and the
third can both spell and write, but he does
so ahnost entirety at a white demagogue’s dic
tation.
QThere is here a colored general of militia, a
broad-shouldered black man, who would
make at least two Soulooques. He is also a
State Senator, and graduated from a steam
boat cookhouse. He lives on Canal street,
and spreads Africa from one end of the shell
road to the other during his evening drive.
And yet there are some sensible and worthy
colored men here. Many own houses,
attend to business and enjoy the respect of
their white fellow-citizens. A great deal of
refinement, good taste and modest worth
may be met with on the streets and in their
Louses. The colored people run a bank, a
paper mill and a number of stores. Their
churches, of which there are four Baptist
and six Methodist, are all well filled and
prosperous and best educated, however, are
Catholics. In fact colored society is divided
socially and almost as to complexion into
Catholics, the descendants of French fathers,
and Protestants, brought as slaves from other
States or their descendants. There i* scarce
ly any intercourse between these classes,
except among politicians, though as a rule
those of French extraction have but little to
do with politics.
THE COLORED PEOl'LE ARE FOND OF CLUBS,
where they meet at night and spend the time
in disenssing politics. In one of these I heard
the following conversation with a well-in
formed member on the topics of the day:
“What are Mr. Pinchback’s chances,” I
asked, “lor gettingLither of the seats be claims
in Congress?"
“Well, I can scarcely tell,” was the reply.
“Yoq see,” he continued, “the matter bus
been mixed a little by the triumph cf the
Casey party. That party don’t like Pinch-
back—never did; and that party will do all
they can to defeat him in Congress.”
“How, then, did he get elected on their
ticket and in their Legislature?” I asked.
“That question requires a little history to
answer it. Pinchback, you know, was origi
nally a Warmoth man, or rather be was an
anti-Dunn man, and Warmoth took him up to
beat Dunn with. It was about the time that
Warmoth hurt his toe. Did you ever hear the
joke about that toe ? Warmoth was very un
popular with the native whites; and when he
got his toe jammed on the boat the papers op
posed to him had amusing and not veay com
plimentary bulletins as to his probable re
covery. Well, the toe bad to be amputated,
and Dr. Sniythe, a warm political friend of
Warmoth, did the surgery. The toe, how
ever, was obstinate, and one day Warmoth, in
a half jocalar way, said to the doctor: “It
seems to me, Doctor, you must have made a
poor fist amputating my toe, that it takes so
long to get well!” Dr. Smythe, who is rather
dry in bis way, replied, “Well, why didn't
you get some rebel doctor to do it? Had you
tried one of them he would have amputated
. your too close up under jour chin.’ But, as
I was saying, it was about the time of this
accident that Pinchback, as in duty bound,
nsed to go to the Governor’s house to inquire
after his health, end Warmoth laid his plans
to capture him completely. In a short time
he put Pinchback on all the important com
missions, gave his friends any appointment he
asked for them, and made him one of his
privy counsellors.
So things went on till Dana’s death, Piueh-
back, being a member of the Stste Senate,
immediately afterwards, through Warmoth’s
infiaence, was elected by the Senate Actiug
Lieutenant-Governor, but very soon be com
menced to form a parly of his own.
THE CUSTOM HOUSE FACTION
hated and distrusted him. and Warmoth, after
attaining his object of dividing the colored
vote, ignored him, so that Pinchback found
himself between two fires, and to bring either
Warmoth or the custom house to terms he
raised the question of color, and had himself
nominated for the position of Governor by a
convention composed mainly of colored men.
The custom house faction afraid that Pinch
back might seriously divide the negro vote,
put him on their ticket as member of Con
gress at large, and so healed tho differences
between the colored people. When the trou
bles about the election down hero began, the
custom house faction, which had always held
that Pinchback was never legally elected Lieu
tenant-Governor, changed their tune, and im
portuned General Grant to recognize him as
tho Governor de facto after Warmoth had been
impeached. The custom house people did
not know their man. Pinchback hud fought
hard for the United States Senate when West
was elected two years before, and he could not
have ordered things better to suit himself than
this recognition. He knew that with the pres
tige ol having been acknowledged as Gover
nor by General Grant while three or four cue
tom house men aspired to the United States
Senate, he could have a walk over the track
and win, and he went to work to do it
ON THE LEVZ»J$T NEW ORLEANS
are congregated all classes of colored laborers.
T he waite^out of work, the field hand, and
the zqnjjbbouU of the steamboats stand list-
lesslywgtching vessels arriving or departing,
or tbeluRre actively engaged ia loading and
uoloadi^jKffoaU. The roustabouts are an io-
Tfeps as Ahey are recruited from all
YcUsscs a* necessity presses or incli
nation directs. When engaged in labor they
work with a sort of gregarious excitement,
but when idle they are as dumb and sullen
as empty stomachs and depleted purses can
make them. If one of this class is seen at
work alone, he moves with the clumsiness and
lethargy of a bear measuring the length of
his chain; but when they are at work in a
crowd they snatch freight and tote it with a
reckless enthusiasm marvelous to see. In
their labor they run as if on a race, singing
loud enough to wake the rebellion, and iu
words senseless enough for alnnatic Asylum;
7ary ing their songs with immoderate bursts
of laughter. These gentry are always orna
mented with a cotton hook, which serves as
an implement of their calling and as a weapon
of offense.
One day I 'asked one of these men, who
seemed to be a sort of overseer of the rest,
“ Do you follow this business altogether?”
*< jf 0t sir/’ he said, “I is here only to make
a little ready cash to buy supplies, whiie the
children and old 'oman gits the ground ready
for our crops.”
“I thought your employers gave you ad
vances in the way of supplies ?”
“ Well, yes, they does, but they comes
mighty dear dat way. When we takes ’em so
we has to trust to our memory, and de white
man doesn’t trust to nothing but his pencil:
and deni pencils is sharper ’an a nigger’s
head, lor dey scratches twice when we don’t
git but once. Dis ere new system ie better
for the white folks 'an the old one used to be.
Dey use to feed, clothe, shelter an’ doctor us,
an’ den make money; but now they make us
do all of dat ourselves, and den brings out iu
debt to ’em at de end of the year.”
‘Terhaps that is because you aro not saving
of your money and masters of your appeti
tes.” I interposed.
“Oh, we don’t have no money to KAve, dal’s
what’s dc matter; and the few of us datbave,
gits cheated out uv it in buying diseased
mules and lands with bad titles.”
“You seem to have got on very well; how
have yon done it? ’
“Well, I drapped whisky and Jews. De
Jews comes 'round and sells their goods
cheap, and gits us to open an account wid
’em. and don by de time de fust cotton blooms
dey is round wid dat same ole wagon wid
cotton basket an’ dey takes as low as a hun-
d’ed pounds of seed cotton, nnd keeps on
cornin’ an’ taking till dey gets paid. So I
hired some land de fust year I quit shares and
come down here to work in good times, and
bought my supplies for de year, and now I
owns land uv my own.”
“Is there any indisposition among the
whites to sell you land ?”
“No, .sir; dey likes to when they gits a good
colored buyer.”
“Arc many colored people buying land?”
“Well, no, sir; dey gits bit wid politics, an’
every one uv dat sort wants a office, an’ dey
leaves de conutry an’ cluster in towns till
hunger an’ nakedness drives ’em to de cotton
patch; but right smart of ’em up our way is
gitting tired of dat and is settling down to
work.”
‘Do jour people send their children to
school?”
Well, I can’t say as dey does much; dey
needs ’em on de cotton patch; an’, den, we
has very poor teachers; dey is mostly dese
broken down politicians uv do towns, an’ dey
often do more barm ’an good.”
With a sorrowful consciousness that this
was too true, I turned away.
