Tiik Status ok the Fkkk Mbn of C,r.on in* Louisiana.?Tho New Orleans Picayune says: "No class of the |>ooplo have their civil lights better protected by tho laws of Louisiana-than tlie fr?-o colored p'eopie. Even before emancipation, a free colored person had all the civil rights of a white man. In the courts'of justice.there was no distinction between Inm and (lie white man. In all civil matters lie could sue und bo sued, give testimony for or against^ white man, tank* contracts, exercise his trade or profession, make wills, or receive legacies. Undor this law some eij^ht or tea thousand colored people have Itved in'thin city <%vst since it was. established, and have b*d full protection of all their rights, havo been prosperous, happy and respecfed : r?aqy';of them have grown rich, and liav# proved valuable and productive members qfsociety.
