despatch OF ialr representative of the New

of the Times, will give an idea of the impression
on the public mind at Washington. To attenu-
ate the gravity Of the blow they had struck at
themselves, our New Orleans politicians, as will
be seen by the despatch, tried to tersuade the
people OF the North that DOstie, Henderson, and
other victims had only been scratched. But
truth vail come out at last. We should like to

As to rhe alleged ''provocation, )" TIE evidence
will show from which part It came. There was
a meeting. Can a meeting bring on a tieht
unless assailants come on the very spot OF the
meeting and begin the disturbance? The tot.
