The Governor OF Mississippi and the
Grand Jury OF New Orleans.
The Free Trader is a paper published in Nat.
chez. the residence of Gen. Qutman 1t is fair to
suppose that the attacks, time and again repeated,
on the citizens Of New Orleans, who compose the
Grand Jury Of the Circuit Court, are not I'M
pleasan.so that individual. Ws as conductors Of
press in this city, personally acquainted. with
many Of the members of that Jury, shall continue
to repel these charges until we learn that they are
made against the wishes of the Governor.

We will not state what we know. But on 'ne

cents on the dollar. We think il VIII be proved
that a distinguished American oficer was TO take

and speeches, win be proved. But is Grand Jury

ssppi the unknown squad of New Orleans Jurymen -
This argument proves too much. Suppose a
Governor of a State were, in a moment of anger,
to kill man, while in another State. Would it
be good plea in bar, that 39,979 citizens of his
own State had made him Governor, and, therefore,
he would not answer TO the Indictment, As to
the insinuation Tint the names Of the Grand
Jury sedulously hid from the public" we can
only answer it by informing the learned Editor Of
the Free Trader, that a copy Of those names can
be had from the Records Of the Court just as easily
as the copy Of the deed pnouing Gen. Taylor deal
er ia human flesh tOds obtained from the Records Of
Jefferson County and sent TO The North The Free
Trader has repeatedly alluded 10 the hospitality of
New Orleans in a manner to show that this city
has been wanting in courtesy to Gen. pullman
We are not aware that he is a second Belisarius
compelled to depend others for his bread. The
city Of New Orleans has not been wanting in hos
pi;ality to the war-worn soldiers of the noble Frs
Regiment Of Mississippi Scattered through the
STATE, we call on them 10 defend New Orleans
from this aspsrsiOn on It's character. We think il
very likely that Gen. Quilman pays his own bills
when he comes here. We presume he did al
the hotels of the Northern cities his tour i'm
mediately after his return from the wars. If New
Orleans has been wanting in hospitality, we shall
be glad TO learn how and when.
