HOME TRuTHs pLAINLY roLp,

The New York Herald of September
20, 1868, publishes letter from its cor
respondent in Northern Louisiana, which is
copied by the New Orleans Times under
the above caption.
We are glad to see the Times recogniz-
ing "home truths" and extract one or two
paragraphs Of the letter:
Having seen something more of the re-
gion of Governor Warmoths hundred and
fifty political murders since l last wrote
from that district the conviction is forced
upon me that if Mr.. Warmoth had said two
hundred and fifty Instead of one hundred and
fifty, and had lett out his deductions and
generalities, there would have been little
cause Of complaint against him on the
score of veracity. Let the truth be told.
So Governor Warmoth is INDICATED by
a correspondent who has heretofore thrown
doubt upon the Governors statements, and
the Times with generous courtesy indorses
the vindication. So the world moves.

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-
cy Of the Union aud the Constitution,
Overthrown all armed opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and the proclama-
tion forever abolishing slavery--the cause
and pretext of the rebelliOn-aud opened
the 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-
liancy Of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
will be the patriots precedent in defense of
liberty and right in all time to come. In
obedience to Your conntry's call, you left
your homes and families, and volunteered
in her defense. Victory has crowned your
valor, and secured the purpose of your
patri0tic hearts; and with the gratitude of
your countrymen, and the highest honors q
great and free nation can accord, you will
soon be permitted 10 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-countrymeni and
posterity, the blessings of free institutions,
tens of thousands Of your gallant comrades
have fallen, ind 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

THE EPFEOT.


The efforts of the Democratic journals
of New Orleans to sire the hearts" Of
their disciples, and inaugurate a reign Of
terror and torches in our city, are pre-
ducing their legitimate effect on business.
The factors are complaining that their
clients are not sending in their cotton as fast
they ought, for fear that it may be destroyed
Other planters, so far as they can, are
shipping their crops to Cairo and thence
by rail, thinking it will be safer in a region
where people apply to the courts for the
redress OF wrongs, than in city where the
gimlet-knife is supposed to be the most in
telligent of umpires.
The insurance companies are gloomy
and their sober directors begin 10 ask
themselves whether the Blair doctrine oi
dispensing carpet-bag governments is
good thing for the security Of property Cd
which their profits depend.
The dealers in pistols and knives are
the only people benefited by the efforts
of the Democratic press, and it is doubted
on Carondelet street whether it is best to
depress all other kinds of business for the
sake of enriching halfdozen of gun
smiths.
We believe the alarm which now para
lyzes our trade is exaggerated. Our civil
authorities are vigilant, and General Rous-
seau is resolute. But the fact can not be
concealed that the truculent utterances OF
the Democratic press are doing our city
great harm. TO-.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-09-26
HONEY FROM THE BEE,

We presume the following may be taken
as a specimen of the Democratic "desire fol-
peace and order"
Mr.. Warmoth can not ride upon the
storm he has raised 10 this community, and
may shortly have occasion to think of his
own safety rather than that of the people
he has so deeply outraged. His proclama-
ton deserves no respect.--M. 0. Bee.
In short when the Governor requests
good citizens to keep the peace ''his procla-
nation deserves no respect and the noble
and chivalric thing to do is to threaten his
fife by secret or open violence.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-09-26
PoIities of the Cabinet.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the Cincinnati Gazette, dated September %,
says that it is reported that conversation
re garding the political situation took place
in the Cabinet in which Mr.. Seward took
occasion to declare himself strongly fol
Grant, and both McCulloch and Welles al
strongly for Blair ard Seymour. Randall
had left before the matter came up, so bis
position remains unknown. 1t is strongl,
suspected by the Democrats that the Presi
dent is not an ardent supporter of Seymour
and Blair. He can not forgive the party
for passing him over on the fourth of July,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-09-26
GENERAL ROUSSEAU.

The Louisville Courier says; "General
Rousseau has gone to New Orleans to
cheekmate Governor Warmoth. And he
will do it. We tell you he will"
The Courier quite misapprehends the
spirit and purposes of General Rousseau.
1t is very plain FROM the past history and
the present conduct of this officer that he
thoroughly understands his duties as a
commander Of United States troops in this
Department, and that he will perform that
duty with fidelity and impertiality.
