ANTo1NE's CARD.-It is an established rule with US
in the conduct of newspaper, that when we ssaal
any one the party assaed shall have the use of our
columns for an explanation, or rejoinder. Hence we
cheerfully give place to the card of c. c. Antoine,
which will be found elsewhere, remarking by the way,
that in the paragraph referred to We stated that we had
heard it said Warmoth and party had paid Antoine
$4,000 to withdraw We heard subsequently, as An
tome states he was not bought off, but booted off,
Antoine is an intelligent and fully appreciates
the character of carpetbaggers who only wish to use
the freedmen for elevating themselves to Office and
have no regard for them or their interests ex
cept so far they be made subservent to their
own selfish ends than they have for horse or an OK.
But what avais this knowledge to the more intelligent
class of freedmen when the mass of them can be so
skillfully manipulated by such plausible fellow as
Warmoth? Excitable and preudiced they are, in the
hands of these practiced and moneyed villains as clay
in the hands Of the pottermoneyed because they en-
rich themselves the expense of the labor Of their
dupes They thus naict double injury-frst rob the
freedmen and then take the money to crush them
and keep them in subection Is not this true as holy
writ, Antoine?

Whereas in the providence of the Supreme Ruler OF
the universe Gen. Robert E. Lee, the soldier patriot
christian and gentleman, has passed from among 10 u.s.
E. Lee as public bereavement. His herolsn, wisdom
and goodness have won, they deserved, the admra

be cherished with reverena affection so long as true
greatness inspire the admiration OF men or virtue

Reso1ued, That in the life of Robert E. Lee we reeog
nize the full and perfect interpretation OF southern
chivalry, human virtue and soldierly herolsm. Our

We have no idea that the Warmoth party will ap-
preciae of the motives which prompted the Dem
ocrats here the policy of replying the speeches
delivered last Friday. 1t was this: No one could
possibly have spoken without charging upon Warmoth
and his party the outrageous rascalty and rob-
berries ever practiced upon people by those at the
head of the Government. The occasion would not
have justified honied expressions words of knighty
courtesy. The result would probably have been some
disturbances of unpleasant character. This was
one reason that prompted the course pursued, and
doubtless the main one. There no fear that they
could not be triumphartIy answered, because they
were vulnerable at every point and even SO good
speaker Sheridan reduced the subterfuge of
bringing up dead issues instead of speaking to the
live of the day. The only excuse for accepting
bribes that Warmoh could possibly bring forward WIS
that they offered to him by so-caed respectable
citizens of New Orleans-as weak an excuse as that
given by Adam for eating the forbidden fruit.
