The cost of printing To the
State of Louisiana, for 1870, was
one thousand dollars Il day
enough to run the whole machine
ry OF the State Government under
economical management Er.
Now, we ask the deepest dyed
Radical in the State if this is not
the grandest swindle ever practic-
ed upon free people? This one
thousand dollars per day is paid
out to men who delight to admin.
lister poison to the minds of those
they profess to defend, and destroy
the peace of land without giving
one cents consideration to the
State! And do you suppose that
the people of the South will ever
forget such wrongs? Do yoa sup
pose them dogs, TO wag their tails
at the feet of the man who did all
this? But It continues. 1t will
cost the same for 1871, resulting
in the same evil, without any
good. With all this gift OF one
thousand dollars per day there is
not one of the papers fed by this
money able to stand alone, and
can not lay claim to a respectable
circulation with the people of the
State. Withdraw the printing
bill, and there would not be
Radical paper in the State. Will
Governor Warmoth continue this
monstrous swindle, and at the
same time expect to gain the re-
spcct of the people? We ask
again is there to be no end to this?

Yesterday HERALD reporter visited Elizabeth

matricide, the murder OF poor OLD Mrs. Duignan by
her son Michael, member Of the local police
force. During the forenoon coat, hat and pair
of boots were found at the 'Port' by
workman in the employ of Mr..
Z. G. Brown, bridge builder of the New Jersey Cen

careful examination they were declared belong to
some one else, but to whom Is also mystery. 1t
