The Louisiana Democrat

The registration of Dr. Southworth from the Board of Police Commissioners is explained. It was not because his lungs gave out, by reason of his breathing air so disagreeable to him as that permeated by the exhalations from the colored candidates for policeman, as he persuaded a distinguished colored functionary it was, and that, consequently, he had hemorrhage, pouring out his blood in the only way he ever would for the colored man; but because he has the promise of the office of Recorder of Conveyances in New Orleans, one of the most profitable in the gift of the Governor. He wanted that of Recorder of Mortgages, but that will probably be given to a more Hahn-some man, who has lately been emancipated by Congress from the slavery which still prevails in these States.—[New Orleans Picayune.
