President Lincoln's iUrr Favoring
QanliGcd Negro Kuflraeein Louisiana.
Recknt events have given a fresh intcret and a
new importance to tho propoMiiou made bj tho
lamented President Lincoln forqualitod colored
sufliafre In tho reconstructed State ol Louisiana.
We herewith publish it:
Executive Mansion.
Washington, March 13, 1800. (
Hon. MicnAH, IIaiin. My Dear Sir: I con
gratulate, you on having fixed your name in
history as the firet Iree State fJovemor of
Louisiana. Now you are about to have a Con
vention, which, among other thing-i, will pro
bably define the elective franchise. I barely
suggest, for your private consideration, whether
some of tho colored people may not lie let in, as,
for Instance, the very intelligent, and especially
those who have fought gallantly in our raDk.
They would probably help, in some trying tim? to
come, to lecp the jewel of Klcrty in the family of
freedom. But thi- only In suggestion, not to tue
public, but to you alone.
Truly yours, A. Lincoln.
Governor Wells' Important Testimony.
Tdb dispassionate, manly, and evidently trutli
lnl statement of Governor Wells concerning
the New Orleans massacre, and the causes whii-U
led to it, published In our columns yesterd tv,
is worthy of the attentive perusal of every citi
zen who desires to form a correct opinion an to
the state of affairs in Louisiana. li s testimony
in regard to ihe massacre itself is but confirma
tory of previous accounts, that it was a delibe
rately planned Rebel uprising for the
murder of leading Union men. But it is with
reference to the policy of allowing th" Rebel
leaders to become once more poschscd of politi
"cal power in the South, that Governor Well'
" statements are of the highest importance. Hi;
SjeaWa from personal kuowkdge and o'jservu
jj tion, He Limi-elf favored thq experiment in
Lbuibiana of restoring these mi'U to all their
ilj jugtJy forfeited riuht". He hored that u policy
i -OP leniency, of kindness, and of conciliation
i would win theqd back to loyalty to the Union.
i'i.'Valn hope ! ! They proscribed every man who
; bad "not been' corfr.DCted wittt the Rebel cause.
J1 'They display e all 6f their old insolent and re
..beilibua spirit,' uud rubbed their hands in
gloe'a't tho Idea ot a civil wr in the loyal
State. They" repaid the mercy ot tho Uniou
-men insult and pro-cription. If they
t'Saw ,any, po-pect of success, tbey would
-renew the 1 Rebellion tomorrow. Governor
.Wills olosos his address with an expres
Bion of tliq deliberate conviction, that if the
-1 Hilary 'force be withdrawn the live3 of Union
-.' men who proved themselves conspicuous iu
maintaininer their allegiance will not be safe.
The ultimate security both of the Government
and Union men of the South depends, in his
' opinion, on the ratification of the Constitu
tional amendment proposed by Congress, and
tbe enfranchisement of the loyal black ruin
as he becomes' educated and qualified for that
Important privilege. If the advocacy of these
measures places him wi'.h tho radical party in
opposition to the Pre ident, he accepts the situa
tion. Ue deems it necessary to preserve and
perpetuate the Union.
These are the opinions of a Southern man,
Governor of the State of Louisiana, forced upon
him by the facts of the case as they have fallen
under his own observation. We here see the
results of the conservative policy after a fair
trial. Are they such as the loyal people of the
nation can look upon with satisfaction ? We
think not. On the contrary, we think they
demonstrate the wisdom and justice of that
polioy which would contide the great work ol
reconstruction to loyal men, and to them alone.
It is also worthy of remark, that Governor
Wells, as do other leading Southern Unionists,
reeogulz.es the vital necessity of the gradual
eniranchisement of the loyal black man. This
was the policy of our lamented leader, the
martyred Abraham Lincoln, and was urged by
him in the original reorganization of Louisiana.
That "trying time" to which he ull.ided, when
this class ot faithful Southern loyalists migb
"help to keep the 1cwel of liberty in the family
oi freedom," has already come.
The colored people ot Louisiana are very
numerous, and many of them are intelligent
and rich. They own and pay taxes on over
' fifteen millions ot dollars worth ol property in
New Orloaits alone. The old law of slavery,
that a man is to be considered black who has
any ueero blood in his veins, a ids to the colored
population ot Louisiana iuuuy wealthy aud
educated people who would pass anywhere at
the North as white. The very safety of the
Government and the security oi Southern Union
men, to sav nothing of the damn ol justice,
will compel the euiranchisemeut at no distant
day of this class ot citizens.
Who Dr. Dostle Was.
We publish on our eighth page to-day a speech
delivered by Dr. A. 1 Dostib, the victim of
conservatism, before tho Union Association ot
New Orleans, on January 27, 1806. Its style, its
ability, and arguments, and many proofs of
high culture, will be the bel evidences to his
being au educated gentleman. The N?wYork
World, and the pack of servile Httle p ipers who
follow its lead, has endeavored to make it appear
as though Mr. Dostib was an ignorant barber.
We know not and we care not what may Uuve
been bis occupation, but we do know that by
bis own words we are enabled tj repel the
slander on Lis intellect. He was a bold rea-toner
and a deep thinker, and ho fell a martyr to hU
principles.
Confirmed. The Led'er, this morula??""
journal in tho Conservative interest, publishes
the lollowing special despatch from Wash
ington: "General Siiebidan's Despatch. The ori
ginal despatch ot Geuuiul Sukridan concerning
the New Orleans riot, a paroled version of which
was teleirruphed from here by the Washington
correspondent of the New Yoik Tinvw, will be
furnished for publication to-morrow."
- We have here from a reliable paper a frank
acknowledgment that the despatch purporting
to come from Geueral Sheridan was garbled.
Wt will anticipate with interest the arrival of
the true document, which should have becu
given U the public at once.

Oncb more Is our city to be bonorod I Once
more will the elite have an opportunity of
gazing on a crowned head! Once more tb.ii
dreary lcpubllcan society of ours is to be liehtcd
by the smiles of royalty ! We feel authorized
to announce (o our readers that within a few
days H. R. II. Emma, Dowager Queen of Hono
lulu, Hawaii, 8andwich, aud ten other islands,
who has 80,000 subjects, and lots of bananas,
yams, tea, coffee, cotton, and tobc30, who was
born near the spot where Cnptain Cook was
killed in 1778, will arrive in Philadelphia, ac
companied by her suite, on her way to Washing
ton. Her Royal Highness is a widow, perfectly
eligible, so far as her connections are con
cerned, is a good Episcopalian, and mourns but
sliehtly for her revered husband, his lute
Majesty, with the honorable and euphonious
name ot Kamwiameiia IV. Her arrival in New
York has given a grand chance to the simon
purf and unadulterated Jenkinses, an l we doubt
not, from the style of the gushlDg article in the
World, that the identical and indufatigable
gentleman who pndeavored to steal the Prince
of Wales' shoes has been once more secured to
follow the vagaries of royalty. Of his account,
we must say that it is oil "detnnltion fine." We
are told at first only of the ceremonial of the
arrival, but gradually warming up with his sub
ject, the writer dilates in this letter on interest
ing details, which are esteemed so piquant by
ladies of tloubtttil ajre, and men whose se was
a mistake. We caii imagine the gusto wi'.h
which the whole spicy report will be read by
such gourmands on the subject of particulars.
We would have supposed that it was written as
a satire, did not the grave tone of the article
forb d such a conclusion.
We cannot resist the temptation of trans
ferring to our columns a lex ot these choice
dainties:
'A magnificent barouche and pair of bavs
was in readiness at the entrance on Eighth
street to take ber Malcsty and suite to the Cen
tral Park. The driver, a handsome hd of nine
teen or thereabouts, who conn led to our re
porter bis determination 'never to wear livery,'
was tickling the horse"' tails in an innocent
mauner when her Majesty came down the steps
oi ihe hotel. One ot the hotel waiters tood at
the door of the buroucue, with the knob tu his
grasp, and swung the door o:ien and bowed low
at the approach of her Majesty. Tue driver
snapped his woip uud turned his horses' heads
into tilth avenue, en route to tue Central Park."
Would that oiu' poor eyes could hnve feusti-d
on such a legal s-inht! The waiter with his low

nisbed her Majesty, and an examination of the
dishes when they returned r;-vealed those to
which her Royal Highness was most partial. The
result of this investigation is given with the es
actitude of a chemical analysis.
"DINNKR.
"At a little before six o'clock Queeu Emma and
suite returned from their drive in the Park,
bavins attracted much notice trom the habitues,
and on reaching ihe hotel proceeded to dress
tor dinner. Her Majesty did not dine at the
guests' table, however, but dined in private, with
Maior Hoi'kins and the Honorable Miss Spcroin,
lady m Viaitincr. Her Majesty partook heartily
ot 'gumbo soup,' roast chicken, 'green peas,
succotash, and all the otker delacacie of the
season. After dinner the Queen and suite paid
a visit to a place ot amu-emeut."
This rcpott, it true, os of course it is, exhibits
a culpable, we may add a criminal negligence on
the part of the United states olliciab, which
might entail upon our country once more thj
hoirors of w ar. The Queen is the gue-t of the
United Siates. All her bills are paid by the
United States, and public otiicia's, of course.
order her meals. Knowing a9 they di i the pre
sence of cholera in New York, and probably
guessina the penchant ot her Majeity for green
peas, u conspiracy, it would seem, was formed.
Green peas were plnced before H. R. H.,
uud the life of the Dowager endangered
in order to gratify a morbid Epicuroan
Inste. Such recklessness is tio horrible
to be calmly contemplated. "Gumbo soup," it
well seasoned, miirht have been allowed. Ront
chicken also was harmless; but "green peas,"
auu e!-pecially "succotash," is too abominablo to
be tolerated. Should her Majesty be injured
by the neglirence of the officials, and should tho
cholera thus secure a right regal victim, and
should tuercignine King of Hawaii, bis most
gracious Majesty Kamehameha V, denand the
offender, we hope that all diplomatic complica
tion will be avoided, and Mc.-srs. Odkll, Wake
man, and Chilton be handed over to be punished
as the descendants of the roasters of Captain
Cook may see fit. They deserve no mercy: and
should his gracious Majesty see fit to cut off
their ears, and compel them to dine on their
own auricula'- appendages, no one will sympa
thize w ith their misfortune.
We have said that it is not improbable that
Queen Emma may visit our city. If slie does, we
hope our people will give her a fitting reception.
We would suggest a dejeuner at the League
House, and as we have not the choler.i In our
midst, we might so far indulge her Highness as
to allow succatash, but not green peas. We,
at least, shall not have her death on our hands.
Her next visit will be to Massachusetts, where
she will be under the especial care of Governor
bcLLocK. She will there have an opportunity
of tasting chowder, ana witnessing how it is
made; also, of hearing the grand orf an, and, as
she is High-Church, we hope that Koine one will
perform Gloria in f rrelsis in Hawaiian. Thence
to Niacrura Falls, and back to New York, faking
in our city en the way to Washington. When
she comes, let us be careful not to be found like
the foolish vire'ns, wiih our lamps untrimmed.

When a dtnizen of the city makes his appearance

which the poet and musician have diecoursed so
sweotly torso many years. Tao cottage has many
different aspects. Ono moment it seems soarooly more
than a shanty, thrown together for the accommoda
tion of somo one who is accustomed to dealing with
the world in its harshest mood. Yet you need but
give your head a turn, and you behold almost a
lairy oower, adorned with Gothio windows and me
dieval turrets. It is in this that the "solid man'
fixes the pcrmanout abode of his tami'y for tho sum

hurried sojourn once in a week or so.
SEA-BIDE PHILOSOPnT.
It Is a mistaken notion that the fasnionable world
deserts the ctty, simply beeu-o it is unfahlonable
to be found in town; or that the motive which guides
their lootsiop to the soa-side is a desire to be seen
in all the glory of their dress and diamonds by the
favored ones of the earth. It was a spitolul, mis
antbropio wretoh who first gave currorcy to this
slanderous report. The gu lty thing has long since
died lrom absolute unfltuess to live in a reasouablo
world.
Because of his demise, we fear no contradiotion
when we divulge the truth and gist of the matter.
It 1 simply this: Ihe rich and the poor, the nigh
and tho low, the comely and the hideous, those of
good and those of bad repute In short, the wbolo
sea side populace, make this their tumm.tr retreat,
that they may dip themgelves in the ocean and
shake themselves in the dance. No other earthly
motive was ever known to enter into their calci-
lutiong.
Those who wore so fortunate as to be at Cape
Island vesteraay, enjoyed aa opportunity for these
pastluicg such as rarely fails to the lot even of the
professional plousure-eeker. First, of course, wo

SCENES UPON TUB BEACH.
Iho oay was clear and oool Just such a one, iu
fuel, as this Island City always takes advantugo o
to empty its whole population into tho tur
bulent sea. On such su occasion humanity is
lorced upon a level. The arbitrary distinctions
of society are all merged iu the one graud

man looks hideous, or a woman frightful, it is
at such a time. Iho bathing oosiume most in vogue

Hut to one dwells upon those trifles. Arrayed in
a suit of checked or striped flannel, and surmounted
by fac-bimite of tae head-rla which hag made the
namu of "Jim Crow" a torror to the inlantile world
tor all time to come, you trip along the pl.ttenng

Whon you hare proresed so far f iat tbe first

The chief attraction of the day, however, was the
BAL MASQUE OF LA COTKRIE CARNIVAL
There Is always ono grand event of the season,
tov aids which the frequenter of the Island City are
accustomed to look forward with foelings of more
than ordinary interest. This year, as has been the
case lor several jears past, it was the ma-ked ball to
be given at Congress Hall, uuder tho auspices of
'La Cotone Carnival." The note of preparation for
this culmination ot the gayeties ot the seasou was
sounded wojk' ago, emco whon it has grown louder
and stronger, until at last all other and inferior
schemes huve dwindled Into comparative insignifi
cance. In view of this extra attiaction, there has been a
largo Increase in Ihe floating popu ation of the is aud
during the past icw days, aud yesterday especially
the arrivals were very numerous. Two extra trains
were put upon the railroad, and the Samuel M,
Felton niado up an uuugua ly large passcngor list.
Tho steamer lolt the city in due season, but arrived
at the lauding at a very Inopportune moment. Tho
wind was blowing almost a gale, ibo breakers rolling
so high and so recklessly that it was entirely out of
the question to attempt to disembark tbe passeogers
at the usual point. In such a contingency thore was
but one alternative the Felton swept around the
Cape and auchorrd oft tbe beach near Congress Hall
At this point a landing was to be effected through
the agency of tho littlo tubs called sari-boats. The
news of this unusual movement soon sproad over
the island, tho wholo population turning out en
masse to witness tho sport Thoy were gratified.
HOW THE "FHLTOV LAKDKD UEH PASSENGERS,
At five o'clock the ceremony beean Throe surf
boats, manned bv hearty watormon, portormed the
work. The first cargoes we e made up of the mem
bers of Beck's Band, who came hither to participate
in tho musical programme. Everything wont well
enough until tho boa's were wnbin a few rods of tho
sboie. Then the oarsmen paused, and watching
their opportunity, tbey caught an advancing billo v,
by which they were landed high upon the sand.
High, but not diy. A crowd of screaming young
sters, with pantaloons rolled ud above thoir knoos,
made a rush for tho boat, and took possession of the
baggage without so icuation. Tlion a few stout man
in bathing robes .laod the part of beasts of burden,
the musicians ndi: r a-straddle ot their backs to the
fhoro. Tbe crowd cheered, and the corcmony was
repeated.
When the first boat, containirg ladies, nearod the
shore, it was caught up m the embiace of a passing
breaker, and stranded hih upon dry land. Thus
did tho vinds and the waves conspire to do nonor to
tbe gentlo sex. Tbe sun bad gone down ore tho last
ot the Felton't passengers tood upon the shore.
At 8 o'clock tbe lest'Vitiog of the evening were

thousand people had assemb'ed to witness them,
expressing great satisfaction at the result. Rockots
and Roman candles filiod the heavens with thoir
momentary radiance, whilo the niuht was mado
luminous with blue lights, red lights, and evory
other color ot lights. Thore wero alo several elabo
rate pieces fired, and altogether tho exhibition did

At hall-past nine the door of the spacious dining

TUB SCENE OF THE CARNIVAL.
Iho ball was beautifully and elaborately deco
rated. Surrounding it on all sldos were festoons of
red, white, and blue, looped up at the columns with
the coats-of-arms of every btato in tne Union. On
each of the chandeliers the Stars and Stnpos were
displayed, and acrosa the room at interval extended
a continuous line of fluttering banners. Tho whole
design was simp e, jet attractive in tts very sim

THE MASQUERADE
Notwithstanding that tbe announcement was tor
a bal manque, the majority of tbe ladles and peutle
men preseut were in full evening dress ouly. Yoc
this was anything but objectionaoie, a ft gave tur
greater variety than would have roaulted from a
mere collection of persons attired in funtastio cos
tume. Tnere were enouch of thesa last present,
however, to give the performance the right to the
title of a Carnival.
The dresses of the masqueraders presented a cu.
rious admixture of tbe ludicrous aud its opposite.
The two most striking flpjrea on tae floor were
"Lord Duadnary" and tba "Quoen of Night."
Tbe yawning, simpering fop was admirably per
sonated, ao rumor spoke, by a renowned magtoiau,
who by his trick has turntd tba beads of tha tool
Ish and puttied the brains of tbe wise throughout
tiie world. Tba " Queen or Nlht" waa robed m
tbe traditional gauze of sombre hue, glittering with
tbe accustomed spangle, and crowned with the
time-honored crescent.
Presenting a similar contrast were a conple of
masks which attraoted considerable attention. The
one was a quaint, old-fashioned gentloman, arrayed
in light brown knee-breeches and dark brown klrt e,
and sporting on the extremities ol his nether limb
a pair of w bra stooklngs. Ilia bead-r'r waa a yollow
wig and queue, wblob looked very much as if they
bad been subjnetcd to an imperfect singeing over a
slow fire. Ui bows wero the profoundoat that we
rotieed, his antics iho most lcdoaciibable. At one
time he was seen whirling through tho danos with a
dainty little Swiss peasant for a partner; at another
he waa amusing himself by galloping froro ono end
ot the ball to tho other with a veritable imp of
Satan on bis back.
The counterpart of this fantastic Individual was a
"Sister of Mercy," arrayed in a flawing robe of
simplo black. For somo time she lent a new grace
and dignity to this character, and then catching the
ptevajhng passion, she went rushing through tho
v a ti and storming through the ?alop.
A to her prom nont charaoter was that personated
by a young ladv every one thought she wasauohat
first, and every ono was Justified when her mask
was fina'ly removed who assumed the part ot an
Italian cavaliet ot long ago. She was as dashing, as
bewitching, as Morons! horsett In the role of Mafeo
Ortini. 6 he bad her counterpart in a damsel of
Hibernian extraction, who aas glorious in a head
dress surroun-lod by monatrous frills. Hercnmsou
akirt was so looped up as to display to good advan
tage a lively littlo pair ot feet and a gorgeously
variegated petticoat.
Tbe extremes of civilized and savage life were like
wise brought together. A "Noble Bed Man of the
Forest " personated the one, and a Frenchman of
tbe old school the other. This Jean Crapeau was
arranged in a snlt of black, with a large yellow vest,
aud a monstrous white cravat. His whiskers wore
on a par with tbe latter, save in the item of color.
The "lted Man" was resplendent in feathers and
hone bair, and had a bad habit of .poking people in
the ribs with his bow. Ho was supported by several
"Ked Women," whose costumes were quite as fan
tastic as his own.
Thero were soveral gentlemen present who had
somewhat of a military bearing. Ouo especially
partook slightly of the Sanoho Panza order. His
pantaloons were blue, and stripod with white; hia
coat was lormed ot long red and yellow patches;
his cbapt au was an intormlxture of a f colon, flutter
ing with ribbous ot various hues. When not
engaged in the ounce, he strutted about as if la
starch of a windmill. This military gentleman was
much tn company with one who had but slight pre
tensions tu tho same character. Ho wore a blue
spangled sugar loat ot a hat, a white coat bordered
with red, and cr.mson pantaloons. Hib head ap
peared to bo sot very far back upon his shouldors.
To dt tail the particulars ol auotlier lancy costume
would exhaust our sui plyof adjectives. Suffice it
to say that thoro were numerous specimens, eich
one more or less varying from all others, of every
style of dress in which tno costumier is acou'iomed
to deal. Ladies and gentlemen of tbe lastoontury
wcro abundant, and somo who looked as it they
might belong to a ontury or two in the future.
Long coat-tails and patchwork pantaloons were all
the rage in some quarters. Cavaliers, both male
nnd lemalo, were likewise abundant, as well as sun
dry reddish imps, who looked an 1 aoted as if they
wero destined to grow un into first-class impersona
tions of tbo Evil One himself.
Tbe domiLOS woie too common and too numerous
to mention. Thorb was also a group of wtute-rohed
Chinamen, who carried about with them tremen
dous specimens of theplg-ia l order; and as to tbo
monstrosities of eyes and uo'es, we shall not attempt
to mention, much less to enumorato thorn,
But tbe mafqueradcrs composed only a moiety of
the assemblage, while every one present was at lib
erty to participate in
THE PANCINO.
And every one apparently availed himsolf of the
coveted opportunity. The ball was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and there waa out little room for
the light, fantastio tripping of one's toes. This mat
tercd not; it rather imparted a spioe and bustle that
otherwise would have been lacking, tio, despite the
pressure of the crowd, tnose with elaborate, as well
as thote with fantastio taile.tos, rushed into the
maze and whirl of Terpslohore,
Ihe scene thus piestnted was not unlike that
which ono encounters on tho beach at midday.
Tbey reelea, they tumbled, tbey rol.'ed about, with
such utter recklessness that it is a marvel no ono
suflend irom a broken neck or anklo. As we
gazed in wonder, not unmixed with awe, we pro
posed this silent quory : Do tnose people labor thus
because of the sport that is in it, or beoauso it is
fashionable to uo so at a watering-placer Tho pro
blem is an interesting one, but we shall not attempt
to solve it
But to all such things as a Caroival ;Bal Masque
there Inevitably comes
TUB FINALS,
On this occasion it transpired at half-past one
o'clock In tbe morning, just as Hassler' orchestra
played tbe last strains of the ' Cape May Visitors;"
tbe multitude meanwhile taking tho last turn in tbe
"Quaurllio Jig,
In half an hour thereafter the hall was desolate.
Yet this was not the end, for Bock's musicians
strolled about tne lawn for another hour, playing
some ot their choicest airs, by way ol a serenade.
On every baud was, and still is hoard, the one ver
dict the Carnival was a suocess.the greatest success
ot the kind that the Is and City has evor been called
upon to witness, end for all this carnival of pleasure
the public Is indebted to Msgsis. J. C Bisley and P.
C. Abel, of Philadelphia, tne originators and mana
gers ot the perlormance. No lesser meed of praise,
is deserved by 11 r J F, Cake, "mine bost" of Con
gress Hall, for tbe thorough and efficient manner fa
v hich he seconded their eltort lrom tbe first.
