GRANTS FAREWELL ADDRESS
TO HIS ARMY.

The general order of General Grant, ad-
dressed to the soldiers of the United States
when the war was over, will now be read
with interest. Here it is:
SOLDIERS OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED
STATEs-By your patriotic devotion 20 your
country in the hour of danger and alarm,
your magnificent fighting, bravery and en-
durance, you have maintained the suprema-
ey of the Union and the Constitution,
overthrown all armed opposition to the
enforcement Of the laws and the proclama-
sion forever abolishing slavery-the cause
and preteXt of the rebellion-and opened
she way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and inaugurate peace on permanent
and enduring basis on every foot of Ameri-
can soil. Your marches, sieges and battles
IN distance, duration, resolution and bril-
hancy of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
VIII be the patriots precedent in defense of
liberty and right In all time to come. In
obedience to your cOuntry's call, YOU left
your homes and families, and volunteered
IN her defense. Victory has crowned your
Valor, and secured the purpose of your
patriotic hearts; and with the gratitude of
your countrymen, and the highest honors a
great and free nation can accord, you will |
soon be permitted to return to your homes |
and families, conscious of having discharg-
ed the highest duty of American citizens. |
To achieve these glorious triumphs, and
secure to yourself fellow countrymen, and |
posterityl the blessings of free institutions,
tens of thousands of your gallant comrades
have fallen, and sealed the priceless legacy
with their blood. The graves of these a
grateful nation bedews with tears, honors
their memories and will ever cherish and
support their stricken families

We are at loss to account for the sud
den outcropping of lawlessness in the
Democratic journals of this morning, ex
cept on the theory that they desire to show
to the st. Louis delegation how firmly they
believe in the truculent programme of Mr..
Frank Blair
The Times is fierce for fight. We are
to have row forthwith-a gladiatorial
combat, as it were-for the amusement of
our guests ; and the battle is to begin by
some kind of attack on Mr.. Baker and his
Registration Boards. The Times inquiries,
''Can Endurance Farther Coz and winds
up by suggesting that the battle begin to-
day. Thus:
In this condition Of our people, what
course shall they pursue: Shall they any
longer practice to the degree they already
have the virtues of patience, peace, sub
mission and indifference Shall they sur
render forever the small modicum of free
dom left them, by submitting to the pro-
posed registration of Baker, and thus rivet
the chains of negro and carpet-bag govern
ment upon themselves for life?
If they are not ready for this self-elected
degradation--if they have the energy. the
spirit and manhood to resist the most afro
cious usurpation, the most lawless violence
and partisan villiany ever attempted in
this land, then they must make that resist
ance when it is attempted TO carry into
effect the infamous registration of Baker
q Co.
1t will be too late even to protest when
that registration becomes final 1t will be |
perceived by Bakers notice. elsewhere |
published, that his registration commences
to-day.
The Crescent is not SO exact in its ap-
pointment of time for the revolution to
begin, but it plainly tntimates determine
ton in that direction, as follows:
We say again that the white people OF
Louisiana desire peace and order; but, we
likewise say again, that they want to vote.
and that they ,cill register and agN vote if
legally qualified to do so. We state this
calmly and seriously, but with an emphasis
justified by our knowledge of the spirit of
our people. They have been deliberately
and Systematically swindled and cheated
at two elections-they purpose not to be
swlndled and cheated at the third.
: Now, in the name of common sense. can
not these people or their more sober con-
;titnents bear in mind that there are legal
remedies for all wrongs? We have
six Democratic District Judges in
New Orleans, with their writs of
redress, and yet the moment Re-
publican official takes ground which the
Democrats believe to be erroneous, they
Try out for battle and blood, instead of for
he peaceful and Judicial methods of re-
ief. They seem to prefer murder to man
Janus. They would destroy government ,
instead of using it. Are there no discreet ,
awyers and merchants to advise these
razy fanatics

The Largest and Most Orderly Meeting
ever held In the Parish.

ever held In the Parish.
PARISH OF ST. JOIN THE BAPTIST. LA,
September 20, 1888.
In conformity to a call made by the Hon.
Dennis Burrel, the Republicans of the left
bank of this parish met to-day at P. NJ,
at Coyles's coff'eehouse. On account of
the call for the meeting having been made
late in the afternoon, the Republicans of
the right bank could not be notified, and
were not in attendance. The assemblage,
however, in point of numbers and intelli-
gence was all that could be desired, being
composed of upward of seven hundred
voters.
The meeting was called to order by Hon.
Dennis Burrel and the following named
gentlemen unanimously elected officers
President, George W Coombs; Vice
Presidents, Adam Eifer, c. Clermont, Adam
Ketrue, Joseph Alger and Alphonse Oubre;
Secretary, Leo. Eiter.
Able, moderate and telling speeches were
made by Messrs. Richard. Blue, Coleman,
Butler and Hon. Dennis Burrel. The lat
ter named gentleman handled the renegade
negroes who had deserted the party for the
gilded pill of Democracy without gloves,
and with much plainness of speech, though
with dignity, exposed the fallacy OF their
course. TIE best Of order was preserved
and all separated with cheers fol Grant
and Colfax.

THE EXCITEMENT.

During the day great excitement has ex-
listed throughout our city, growing out Of
the high state of political feelings and
particularly arising from the homicide at
the French Market.
Large gatherings congregated on Canal
street, and at various points below. JEFF
ferson City caught the infection, and dis.
turbance was imminent in that region.
The gunshops were overrun with custO-
mers, and everywhere a sentiment seemed
to prevail that serious difficulty was very
near.
AT this moment, however, all is quiet.
The vigorous measures instituted by the
Governor, by General Rousseau, by the
Chief of Police, and the Sheriff, have re-
stored affairs to nearly their ordinary con-
dition.
The criminal, Guerrin, has or is about to
surrender himself to the authorities, and
will receive his deserts at the hands of the
law.
We desire to say to our citizens that no
considerable riot can occur in this city,
unless some organization stronger than our
civil force, aided by the United States
troops at this post, shall show ITSELF
The civil authorities are determined
that order shall be. preserved, and
in General Rousseau will be found
soldier who will fire no blank cart
ridges. We appeal, then, to all citizens
to pursue without alarm their ordinary
avocations, and should disturbance occur
view it simply as the effort of lawless men,
who will speedily be crushed by vigor-
GUS force.
Remember, it is not for citizens to put
down riots
That duty is reserved for the appointed
officials, and that duty will be discharged.

THE HOMICIDE.
The Crlmlnal surrendsr..

Arthur Gurrin, the perpetrator Of the
homicide at the French market, has an
nounced his willingness to surrender to
the authorities.
Sheriff Maxwell, Chief Williamson and
Recorder Gastinel have already proceeded
to arrest him, and he will be committed
to the parish prison to await hie trial.
