A CARD.
New ORLEANS, Oct. IA, 1869.
II. @. Warmoth:
Sir:-It is due alike to you and
myself that I should briefly ex-
plain the purpose OF my visit ut
your office to-day.
In the firstplace I called pro-
fessionally, as a newspaper cor
respondent, to learn it there was
any truth in the statement that
You intended calling al extra SEES
sion of the Legislature.
In the second place, I was de-
sirous Of showing q friend, So
E.journing in this city, looking at
the sights and examining the
curiosities of this section Of the
country, q yar0 aris which Mr..
Greeley, in the Tribune Office, in
the presence Of Hon. Michael
Seaman, of New York, few
weeks ago, characterized as 'sthe
most corrupt of all the corrupt
carpet-bag scoundrels which at
present infest the South
My opinion, alike Of yourself
and corrupt administration is we'll
known, having been repeatedly
publicly proclaimed Oh the hust-
ings at Republican meetings, and
repeated under oath, before the
Congressional Committee which
recently visited this city; and, I
may add, it is but a re-echo of the
opinion of every honest man, in
dependent of party, not alone in
this State but throughout the
whole country. s
I only regret that my friend
J should have declined seeing y0u
when your messenger returned
our cards, and thereby, lost the
opportunity of verifyingM Mr.. Gree
lley's merited opinion of you; and,
by the way, at the same time OF
endorsing the action Of the Re;
publican Convention which as.
sembled here some few months
ago, and which not alone refused
notwithstanding your offers OF
official patronage, to endorse you1
administration, but numbered
among it's members a Republican
Senator, who had the courage to
publicly avow that he chad mate
rial with which to frame articles
of impeachment against you as

CELESTIAL AGENCY. - Messrs.
John Williams s. Sons have been
appointed by Koopmanschap &
Co. as their agents in New Or
leans. In announcing their ac-
|ceptance the Messrs. Williams
say:
In accepting this position, we
hope to be the means of aidin o
the planter in securing good and
reliable labor from the rural dis
tricts of China, (Which we are in
formed is of the best character
and far superior to that in and
about the cities,) and on such
terms as will be acceptable.
We will have nothing to do
with any labor but that which
comes voluntarily and cheerfully.
The contract will require the la
borers to remain five years, and
we think will fully meet the
wants of planters in all respects.
No money will be required until
the labor is ready for delivery.
We will take two upon those
terms, a man and wife.

Particulars of the Last Illness Of ex-
President Pierce.

Particulars OF the Last Illness OF eX-
President Pierce.
We copy as follows from the
New York World Of the 9th:
At the end OF his Presidential
term, Mr.. Pierce travelled abroad
extensively. He returned in 1898
to his home in Concord, and there
for the past eleven years he has
lived in dignitied and honorable
retirement. He was not unmind-
full, though, of the welfare OF his
country, and upon important oc-
casions never refused to his fell
low-citizens his wise and expert
enced counsel. His declining
wears were saddened by the death
of his wife, most cstimable lady,
to whom he was greatly attached;
but he was soothed by the UNI
fcigned attachment of his neigh
bors, without distinction of party.
About I, year ago he was attacked
by the disease to which he has
finally succumbed, and at one
time he was supposed to be dying.
He rallied, however, and regained
his health to such an extent that,
last spring, he made trip as far
South as Baltimore, where he was
the recipient Of a most Hattering
ovation from the citizens. The
old enemy came back few weeks
ago, and the attack, that time,
was resistless.
He died at the residence of
Willard Williams, Of whose family
he had been an inmate for many
years. He had been i'll since July
s, but had only been confined to
his room about three weeks. The
cause Of his death was dropsy of
the abdomen, complicated with
chronic inflammation Of the bowel.
For the last two weeks he had
been in a very weak state, and for
the last three days was semi-un-
conscious. From this state he
could be aroused only with diff
Guilty so as to answer a question
or recognize a friend. He could
engage in no conversation, and
Immediately relapsed into his un-
conscious state.
AS late as 4 o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon, he swallowed some
coffee, and at 8 took a little ice.
Soon after 8 he failed to recog-
nize the most familiar faces. At
midnight an attempt was made
to administer sti1nulants, but it
failed, and by 2 o'clock yesterday
morning he sank very rapidly.
He died without a struggle or
sign Of pain. The only persons
present when he breathed his
last were DR.. Hiram w. Tibbetts
and Mrs. Seth Hopkins, s'watch-
ers,'' and MI. and Mrs. Williams.
The ex-President's death caus-
ed deep gloom in the city Of his
residence, great regard having
been universally entertained for
him as a man and friend. DR..
Chas. p. Gage was his medical
attendant.

The Louisville Convention.

ea The Louisville Convention.
The Commercial Convention
called to meet at Louisville had q
]. harmonious session of five days,
i'll which were considered and dis
cussed the various questions af-
fecting the interests of our people.
We have met Chief Justice'Lude-
ling and -Frank~P. Stubbs, Esq,
both of whom attended the Con-
vention, and who are unreserved
in the expression of their conf
dence in the beneficial results to
flow from the meeting and de1ibe-
rations Of the Convention. They
represent that the most cordial
feelings marked the intercourse
Of the delegates who represented
almost every State in the Union,
and that the Convention was one
Of the most intelligent and hgni-
fed body of men they have ever
seen assembled. .- q, al
Ex-President Fillmore presided
over the deliberations of the Con
vention, a selection most appro-
pirate and noteworthy. It at once
gave dignity and character to the
body, and prepared the public
mind to receive it's recommenda-
tions and counsel with every
respect and with more than the
customary interest attaching to
the deliberations of such assem-
blages. -g ass~
. Fhe greatest share Of attention
was given by the Convention to
the subject of railroads. The
Southern Pacific Railroad ques-
ton was mature1y considered.
The result arrived at is embodied
in a resolution adopted by the
Convention, favoring the route
from San Diego, CAL, via the
junction of the rivers Colorado
and Gila, along the valley of the
ella and south of the same to Ell
Paso and thence to a convenient
point near the SD parallel of
north latitude east of the Brazos,
OF near that river in the State of
Texas, from which main trunk,
Feeders are recommended to i'm
portant points East.
The route laid down in this res
oluticn- is the one in which this
section of country is particularly
Interested, as the SD parallel pas
ses directly through our territory
The action Of the louisville Con
vention appears to'us as conclu-
sive of the debate as to the most
practicable route for a Southern
Pacific railroad.
The question of labor and i'm.
migration was also discussed
with no definite result. All the
propositions submitted were ia
bled in a lump.
The rebuilding of the Missis-
sippi 1cvees was especially re-
commended to the attention OF
Congress, as a matter of national
Importance, and a willingness
manifested on all hands that the
Government should foster the
work Of reconstruction without
delay, it being evident that the
agricultural development of the
South underlies the financial
prosperity Of the American peo-
pie. >o s1.-E@ ~ s--s

The Chicago Journal says: SIT
was at first supposed that the
frost Of a few nights ago had done
some damage to the corn crop Of
Northern Illinois, but such turns
out not to have been the fact, to
amy noteworthy extent whatever.
1t is now likely that the crop will
be well matured throughout the
entire Northwest. 1t had already
passed all danger before the frost,
throughout the great section of
country where corn is the princi-
pal production Of Agriculture
Not only that, but in some por-
tons OF this section, where, du-
ring the Summer, anticipations
OF a small yield prevailed, there
turns out to be great crop. The
! rains of June had shortened the
stalks, but as to the grain itself,
the season afterward was SO won
derfully and peculiarly favorable
that it came out splendidly. Such
is the fact as to pretty much all
Illinois, Iowa, Northern Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. We think
there is no room to doubt that the
corn crop Of the year is by odds
the most bountiful ever produced
in this country, or that the quail
ity of the grain is unusually good.
The Chicago editor may be COR
rect, and we trust he is, but we
had been led to believe by men
who have recently been in the
West that the corn crop there is
unusually light.
ISy The reason given by the
people of the North who emigrate
West instead Of South, notwith-
standing this is admitted to be
the better country, is that here
the government is under the con-
troll of negroes! This, we learn,
is the great stumblin g-block in
the way of Northern immigrants
at this time, but for which there
would be a heavy Northern immi-
grafton South. Does the South

OF his Northern brother? Is it q

Lawlessness Triumphant.

The following clear case of jul
dicial fayoritism or judicial stu
pidity comes up to us from the
petty parochial court of Judge Il.
Ray:
O. III. Brewster, ('shot coffee,
cakes, &c.,'') was arraigned upon
the affidavits of the two men re-
Gently shot at by him-Duffy and
Green-for carrying concealed
weapons and for "wilfully shoot
ing att Upon an investigation
Of the case OH Thursday, Aylmer
L. Slack, ESQ.,, prosecuting, the
following testimony was elected !:
w. I. j. Griffin, being sworn,
says:-Mrs. Brewster came round
the corner and said, "there they
are" With that Mr.. Brewster,
with a pistol in his hand, came up
to Duffy, pointing pistol in his
face, and snapped the pistol, but
it did not go Off: Duffy grabbed
the pistol, and a struggle ensued.
They both fell; Duffy got on top,
and got up. He wrenched the
pistol out of Brewstef's hand;-
then Brewster drew q pistol out
Of his side pocket with one hand
and with the other held Duffy. It
looked to be a large-sized five
shooter. Duffy struck with the
pistol he took from him and made
him lose hold of Duffy. Duffy
then ran. Brewster had got the
pistol out, and shot twice at DUFF
fy as he ran. After he had fired
the first shot, I said, -"Mister,
don't shoot at that man, as he is
unar1ned.' With that he turned
around and said, eyes, you little
son of a bitch, I will shoot YOU"
and he fred at me, after he lrad
shot once more at Duffy. The
pistol scas taken from the left side
pocket from the inside. I had not
seen that pistol before he pulled 1t
out. ...
The testimony of Duffy-for
which we have not space-was
taken and of course corroborates
that of Griffin. No sort of doubt
is left that Brewster did shoot at
the men, as averred, and that he
was guilty of carrying concealed
weapons. Upon this evidence,
the Judge entered up the follow
ing most extraordinary decree:
1t is ordered that O. H. Brews-
ter be discharged and his bond
cancelled, being satisfied on the
investigation Of this case that he
is not amenable to The laws fo1
what he did as having acted le-
gally. This October 81, 1869.
lSigncd ROB'T RAY,
! . Parish Judge.
We defy the records of any po-
lice court in the land to show a
decree the equal of this in con-
tempt for law, evidence, Justice
and the judges own legal reputa-
ton. 1t will surpass the compre-
tension of any man with an ounce
of brains and a head with :; spe-
cific gravity equalling that of a
gourd to solve how such a deci-
sion was ever reached. Andrew
Nichols would reverse it in mo.
ment, and Andrew is a negro.

~ There is no denying the

by "carpet-bag scoundrels." It
Is admitted by Greeley i'll so many
words, and he confers upon the

distinction of having selected as
their leader the most eminent

The Radical prints can't
conceal their surprise at carrying
Ohio and Pennsylvania. They
didn't expect such, thing, but
gave the people credit for more
intelligence. They crow Justify
because they escaped a beating,
and are prudently silent as to
what they did beside escaping
from the field. In both States
their majorjties were large; - in
Ohio over 10000, and in Pennsy1-
vania over 10000, in November ;
beside they had the official pa
tronage in both States. This is
what they started with, and now
they come out Dragging they
were not defeated. They see the
new turn affairs have taken in the
South and trembIe at their fate.
They see an imbecile administers
ton in power, and wonder and
boast that they still survive. 1t
IS enough to astonish them, we
admit, and they have a right to
boast. The times are still degen-
crate, if that be a matter OF pride
in a Republic!
