Eho Horrors Of New Orleans, bY Native
Historian.
We have a copy Of the New Orleans True
Delta Of Nay 9Th, forwarded to rs By an Ofi-
Ger Of The naval feet Il Is about One-lOurth
the slEs of the daily LBADER, and Is printed
upon half sheet Of coarse wrapping paper
The Delta has long editorial upon Gen.
Buffers proclamation, devoting special at
tention to hat portion OF it which states that
10 the interim between the evacuation Of the
city by the rebel soldiers and the occupation
by the forces Of the United States, 90 great
had been the reign Of terror and anarchy that
the civil authorities Of the city had found II
necessary TO call upon the European Le-
gion" to preserve order in the city. This
fAot, the Delta says, is "aflictingly, humili-
atingly true" "This great American city ,
it says, did have to end among the foreign
residents Of the place safety and security In
her hour Of direst need. The Delta then ex-
plains the reason Of this, and Il must be con.
fessed this is not very complimentary to
"this great American city" Hear its bitter
words Of condemnation Of the system which
has prevailed; "For seven years past, the
world knows, this city In all its departments,
Judicial, legislative and executive, has been
at the absolute disposal of the most goddess,
brutal, ignorant and ruthless rufBanism the
world has ever heard Of since the days Of the
great Roman conspiratOr.
Our city, from being the abode of decency,
Of Ibsrality, generosity and justice, has be-
come perfect hell; the temples Of justice are
sanctuaries for crime; the ministers OF the
laws, the nominees of blOOd.stained, vulgar,
Fibald oaballsrs; licensed murderers shed in-
nocent blood upon the most public thorough
fares with impunity; witnesses Of the most
atrociOus crimes are either spirited away,
bought OF, or intimidsted from ,testifyingi
peIjured associates are retained to prove
dlibis and ready bail is always prOcurable for
those whom Il is not Immediately prudent to
enlarge otherwise. The election system is
q faroe and a fraud the knife, the slung
shot, the brass knuckles and the revolver,
determining, while the sham is being enact
ed who shall o,oupy and administer the
Offices Of this municipality and common
wealth"
What will the London Times and Its Bull
Run correspondent, who saw only ohiVslry
and honOrs ct the South, say to this home testi-
mOny to the delightful state Of affairs in
the Crescent City2 The Delta attributes
this laWlessness to KnoW-nOthingism, and
''solely created and sustained by New Eng
land maehinations." But oh, shade Of
WheatlandI what will the Old Public
ssy when he finds, in close |
connection With these anathemss Of Abo- |
ition and Know-nothingism, reference |
to the Hinfamous Presidency Of the lCath-
some Buchanan Poor old Buckl after Sll |
be has done for the South, to be cast of as
: "lOsthsOme" creature.
The Delta congrstulstes the citizens
1pOn the removal Of the military from La
iaystte Square, so that they can promenade
here as Of old, and says that two Of the
ix pieces of cannon that guarded the en-
rance to the 81. Charles Hotel, have been
emoved.
Three orders Of Gen. Butler are published
ne for the safe transit Of q load Of -four
OF Mobile to relieve the suffering in that
ity; another q permit for the running Of
he Opelousas Railroad for the carrying Of
rovisiOns and market supplies to the city,
8 well ss cotton and sugar, which may be
rought to the city and will be paid for in
pecie; and another that two steamers per
sv nav hiring cattle and r-oviaia-- 49,
hs mouth Of Red river for the relief Of the
ity.
Among the local items is the arrest Of
me soldier for getting drunk and hurrah-
ng for JEFF. Davis, and another for abusing
II southerneFs, while in the same condition
hey we're put into the lookup and there
concluded to fight it out among themselves.
The JEFF. Davis man was sOundly whipped.
