—-a. The Year of Juhilo. 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.
