one of the chief buzzards of the inta-
NOUS Radical crew, who have attempt
ed to crush our State, has been forced
to resign the position he disgraced, and
General Hancock, as was to be expect
cd, has appointed a gentleman in his
place. aerass zs# gaa o1, a4a5atd
Our new Governor Joshua Baker, Of
the Parish of St. Mary, is n high toned
honorable and talented gentleman OF
the old school, and will make good
and able chief magistrate. In years
past he represented his Parish in the
Senate of Louisiana and was always
ranked in those days as among the best
and purest of men. He was in politics
an old line Whig, and since the down
fall of that party, has retired to private
life and has mixed very little with pol
itics. Heis quite an old man, but still
of vigorous health and intellect. In
the name of the avhite people Of Louis
lana we return sincere thanks to Gen
eral Hancock for the change: A.'7's'a
