OAKPET-BAGGERS AND S0ALAWAGS.
The poor Crescent is still afflicted with
that narrowing disease, carpet-bag-p hobia,
circumstance which concerns the public
only because there is just enough method
in its madness to do mischief. To listen to
its wailings and howliugs, its barkings and
snNrlings, an uniformed person would sup
pose that the whole State Government was
In the hands of adventures fresh from
Yankee land, with no interest what
ever in the prosperity of the State
To show that this is not so.
let us examine the personal of the State
government.
OF the six prominent State officials, two
only can by the greatest stretch of ma
lignancy be brought under the category of
Ncarpet-baggers; and one of them, most un-
justly. Governor Warmoth has been a
citizen of this State for nearly five years.
He has made it his home, has invested
what means he has in real estate in this
city, spays his share of the taxes, and may
be considered a permancy. In ante
war times, nothing more would have been
required, except the ownership of slaves,
to give him standing as an old citizen, hav-
ing interests thoroughly identified with
those Of the State. OF all the State off,
GERS, the Superintendent of Public Educa-
ton, Mr.. Conway, alone, corresponds To
the term .earpet-bagger' The rest are
all old citizens, some of them natives of
the State. The Lieutenant Governor, Mr..
Dunn, is native of Louisiana, a respect
able and enterprising citizen, against whose
character the most spitetul carpet-bag-
phobiac can bring no disparaging charges.
The State Auditor, Mr. Wiekiiife is likewise
an old citizen and Southerner by birth
Aman of talent and energy, Mr.. Wickliffe
in the canvass preceding the late State
election did great service to his party by
bis eloquent advocacy Of Republican prin-
ciplesfand was chosen by his fellow-citi-
zens to the position which be now so ably
MS. Mr.. Dubuclet, the State Treasurer,
Is native Of Louisiana and one Of the
Weaithiest and most enterprising sugar
planters Of the State; gentleman whose
ability and probIty in the discharge Of
the duties Of bis Office command The
esteem even Of bis political opponents.

a Picture Of Q enerai Grant.

We We're gratihed yesterday by the re-
ception of the following note accompanied
by picture of the man who has proved
himself brave, discreet and generous SOL
der; The man who did not desert his coun-
try when perils beset her and when the
storm of civil war shook the proudess
among her sons, and carried them into the
maelstrom Of rebellion.
New ORLEANS, December /, 1868.
SIR: Please accept this picture as a token
of esteem. The last three years or more
1t has held the most prominent position ia
the Customhouse Superiutendent's Office.
of which was and am +" the late Superin-
tendent.a Most respectfully, ss
]. Mex. RICHARDS.
We accept the picture "as token Of es-
TEEN" from one who has not been con
verted to admire General Grant since his
election to the chief magistracy of the
United States. As the dispenser Of politi-
cal patronage we have no doubt the Presi-
dent elect will find many more to admire
him than when he headed the Union armies
and IN active warfare was engaged in bat
Ting for the NE and integrity Of the ma.
ton. The picture Is a good one. 1t rep
resents the General evidently in the enjoy
ment Of that peace which had beer his
object in entering The service of his country.
Surrounded by the comforts Of peace, there Il
nothing to remind us Of war in viewing The

Busineas.
The weather is fine it could not be
better-and no doubt has an exhilerating
effect on business. Our merchants show
signs of active life, and our city is receiving
its share of the products of the great West,
the North, the East, our own State and of
adjoining States. Yesterdays receipts
alone must have amounted to over ten
thousand bales cotton. one thousand hogs
heads sugar, three thousand barrels mo-
lasses, three thousand sacks cotton seed.
ten thousand barrels -four, five hundred
barrels whisky, twenty thousand sacks oats.
twenty-five hundred barrels potatoes, one
thousand barrels apples. And in addition,
large quantities of hay, corn, bacon, pork,
peoans, oranges, hides, cabbages, poultry,
cattle and hogs. In fact, everything that
is produced in the West and South, as
well as shipments from the North and
East, were to be found upon our levee
seeking market.

Judge Taliaferro. A native of the South
and a resident OF this State for more
than half century, this noble old man
BY biz, courageous course in the secession
convention of.1S6I won deservedly ex-
allied place in the esteem of every true
American among his fellOw-citizens, and
even earned a national reputation. His
distinction as jurist is such as to need no
comment from us. Chief Justice Ludeling, a
native Of this State, has held for many years
a high position at the bar, and in his pres
ent office gives promise of maintaining the
high reputation of the Louisiana bench.
Judge Howell, also a Southerner
by birth, has worn the ermine
for more than twelve years, during
which time he has, by his judicial impair
TALLY, unblemished integrity and the vir-
tues Of his private character. commanded
the respect of all classes of the community
SO that bis reappointment to his present
position was set down unanimously to the
credit side OF the Governors account with
the public. Judge Wyley was practitioner
at the bar OF Louisiana for years before the
war, and maintained a respectable
position in his profession. Judge
Howe, having lived here only five
years, may, to persons afflicted like the
Crescent, be considered carpet-bagger.
The Board of Police Commissioners an
pointed by the Governor is composed ex-
clusively of old citizens, some being native
born, and others of quarter of century's
standing. Old citizens constitute the Board
OF Health. The quarantine physician, DR..
Baldwin, appointed by the Governor is a
native OF the South and citizen of this
State many years previous to the war.
With this exposition of the real state of
affairs, it appears full time that the senseless
ciamor about a carpetbag government
should cease. II, in reply, we are told |
that the load has been lifted from the
shoulders of the carpet-bagger only to be
placed on that of the scalawag, we have
only to repeat what we said some time
since, namely: that that term CONVEYS
an honorable distinction, as signify
