Photograph of a Loyal" Governor.
Hen,v G. E,'arImOih Of Louisiana.


A friend has sent us a copy of the
True Republican, published at New
Orleans, in which the editor gives
detailed account Of the life and times
of n Carpet bag Governor In the
same number we find the prospectus
of the New York Tribune, and that is
sufficient to establish the character OF
the Jorunal in qustion. 1t is there
fore evident that neither belong TO the
Democratic persuasion, and that what
is said cannot be palmed off as "cop-
perhead lie" Read and reflect.
Having shown in our previous issue
that II. c. Warmoth, the present Gov
ernor Of Louisiana, was indicted for
stealing twonty-one thousand dollars
from the u. S. Government and Audi.
tor Wicklf1e having shown by charges
against Warmoth, that he has actual.
" robbed the Louisiana Treasury OF
over eigbt hundred thousand dollars,
as well as iraudulently made hundreds
of thousands more by bribery and cor
ruption, from bills he has signed, and
offices he has given away, or rather
sold all of which charges must be
true. as Warmoth does not dare allow
an investigation of them we might
here rest our labors, contenting our
selves with the conviction that such
crimes are enough to settle the socia
status, aud personal character OF any
man.
But seeing how blindly infatuated
many people are with this man, ant
how hard il is for the respectable por
tion of our people to realize his rea
character, we propose to go still lurth
er. and show this fellows origin anC
entire history previous to these eX
ploits in our midst.
We then make the following charges
against his personal character, nnC
dare him to put us to documentary
and other proof And we here reminC
| him, that these charges are preferred
before higher tribunal than the Leg
islature, which is, the people of Louis
lana. Here, his packed committe,
will not avail him. Let him face tn,
music, or be branded, as he is, THE
of the first order.
We can prove by the testimony o
an eye witness, and one who is now
resident Of this city, as well as by 9th
or witnesses residing in Indiana an,
Illinois and Missouri, and by the Re
cords of the Criminal Courts of lndi
ana, the following facts:
In the year 1883 or 81, j. G. War
moth, the father of H. c. Warmoth
the present Governor Of Louisiana
with all his family, including his tw
sons, one of whom is the present Gov
ernor of Louisiana, together with th
families of one Bower, one Recdel
and one John fl. Clark, were run on
Of Park County, Indiana, by bands q
Regulators, under an authorizatio
from Governor Wright Of Indiana
That said J. c. Warmoth and his tw
sons, one Of whom was the preson
l. II. c. Warmoth, Governor Of Louis
ana, were members of organized band
of Horse ThieUcs and for stealth
horses in Indiana and Illinois, the
and their companions in crime wcr
summarily expelled from those State
Thalth Sheriifof Vermillion Count
at that time conveyed the brother ,
III. G. Warmolh to the Ponitentiar
of Indiana, who had been convicted {
horse stealing.
a That the present Governor Of Loui
! lana, on account Of his youth, WI
spared a prosecution, but was drive
out Of the State, with his father an
the rest of his family.
That the Warmoths are a family
notorious thieves, and as such, were
terror to the whole section Of countI
in which they resided.
!. That after being drived out Of Ind
. ana aud Illinois, the said j. G. Wa
q moth. the father OF If. G. Warmot
p the present Governor of Louisiana, 7
4 moved TO Missouri, and eventual
N settled in st. Louis, where he hi
y ever since kept livery and sale st
J Bile.
!. That the said J. G. Warmolh h
e ever since borne, and still bears the re
y uiation Of being the medium, throul
!. which all the horses stolen by q
various bands of horse thieves dcpr
dating in that section, are run of al
sold, and
That the said ii. G. Warmoth, pr,
cnt Governor of Louisiana, eventual
: became renowned as a horse thief
n that section of country.
% This might be considered suficie
to establish the character and orig
