GENERAL ROUSSEAU AMONG THE INNo-
CENTs-He Makes Speech.-Last evening
General Rousseau visited the hall of the
Innocents, and according to the Crescent
thus addressed them
"FEILow- CITIZENS Il have come down to
your rooms to return the call you made the
other night, when happened to be absent
from home. 1t is well for me to warn you
that have naught to do with politics. This
is d fit occasion for me to say that in these
times we all need the coolest, wisest and
best tempered advisers. l know the
Southern people; l am one of them.
There are many people in the com
munity who lay every outrage al the door
of the IDnocents. Ihaard so much of you,
that began to believe you were wild and
savage tour-footed beasts. A few even
ings ag) several officers of your club visited
ny house. l descended to my parlor, and
found three intelligent, respectable, worthy
gentleman mentioning Mr.. La Barre and
two others with whom / conversed, and |
came to the conclusion such men certainly
couldn't be president and officers of a set
of marauders." Looking at the audience,
the General said he found his impression a
correct one. He then spoke of the array
OF races in the coming contest. Nature
had destined this continent to be ruled by
white men, and the whites would always
rue. But the General had some advice to
give. He saw before him intelli-
gent and earnest men. He felt
it his duty to tell them that the law
must be observed; that every man wlo
has the right, be he white as snow, or bla K
as the ace of spades, shall vote unmolest d
on election day. He thought from what ! e
saw in the faces before him that they were
the faces of true and honest men that he
could trust himself among them, and that
he expected them to be quiet AMI law OBJ
serving | every occasion. he warned the
Democrats present that the responsibility
for all disorders aud outrages which oc-
CURED in New Orleans were laid on his
shoulders, and that he looked to his fellow
countrymen to abstain from any and all
violence, and to keep the peace and to en-
courage all other persons to do the same
OBEDIENCE TO THE LAWN case be-
fore Recorder Becker this merning, the
counsel urged him to impose
an unusual fine on the accused. To this the
Recorder replied, 81 shall do no such
thing. If l do they will have District At
torney Gutenberg after me-
