NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY JULY s. 1865


The racy New Orleans correspondent OF
the Chicago Tribune, in his letter dated
June Is, notices the Grant and Colfax rati-
fcation meeting in Lafayette Square, and
says:
The native reporters of the press address
themselves to the duty Of lampooning the
meeting and the speakers. They use the
editorial "Wer which is quite consistent
with the fact that instead of reporting
speaker they caricature and abuse him, and
retail their private political opinions.
Such is journalism in this metropolis Of the
South. .Hs.-
Buchanan, as you know, has been fully
sustained by Grant and the President in his
late action concerning the newly elected
State and city officials. Why, it is hard to
conceive. Nobody here seems clearly to
understand why he postpones the tnauguraN
ton of the newlyeleeted State Republican
officials and rushes into office the newly
elected city Democratic officials. But the

Some JcaTs ago a man named Paris Silif-
ley married a young woman in Blooming
ton, Indiana, by whom he had three chill
dren. Leaving his family, he set out over
land to California, shortly before the war
broke out, aud when a short distance be-
yond Salt Lake City he was captured by the
Flathesd Indians, and remained in cap
tiyity ever since. During all this time his
friends heard not word from him, and he
was supposed to be dead. Meantime. his
wife sought and obtained divorce, and
was married about year ago, and re-
moved with her husband to fllinois-and
now comes the sorrowful part Of the story.
