A INITIAL, REGRET.

The editor of the st. James Sentinel
learns that his young friend and for
mer partner, L. E. Bentley, is about
to resume his new departure through
the columns of Il new paper" ETC., and
feels sorry to see so talented a young
man supporting the administration OF
his corrupt majesty, King Henry y
BY this latter expression we suppose
him to mean the Republican State adj
ministration, with Governor Henry
G.. Warmoth at its head.
Since the editor has taken occasion
to publicly express regret for our es-
pousal of good cause, we feel a desire
to reciprocate by declaring that we are
sincerely sorry to observe an editor
possessing the many pleasing qualities
Mr.. Boyee does, SO lowering himself
in the opinion of respectable men by
making use of the columns of his own
newspaper to libel and abuse one
whom he regards as personal enemy.
The consequent degradation of such
action is deepened by the fact that the
person against whom his insults and
abuse are directed is the Chief Exec
utive of the State-an officer whose
position entities him to at least a de-
cent respect.
We mean no ill-will towards Mr.
Bovee, but merely wish to show hin
that we regret his wrong course as
sincerely as he can our right one.

To his Excelleney II. G. Warmoth:
Dear Sir-In reply to your note of
this date, requesting me to give you Il
statement of what occurred at nm I'M
terview between Mr.. John A. Walsh
and myself in regard to your action
on the Nicolson paving bill, 1 will
state, that in consequence of the lapse
of time since the above mentioned in
terview took place, can not possibly
give verbal statement of what was
said, and can only trust my memory
upon main points.
was trying to effect q sale of the
right to lay the Nicolson pavement
on St. Charles street to Mr.. Walsh
and, at the close of the negotiation, he
informed me that he had offered You
$50, 900 to sign the Nieolson paving
bill, and that you had refused. Moth
ing was said about larger sum being
required to secure yollr signature to
the bill. In fact, the only statement
made by Mr.. Walsh, in regard to his
interview with you, that 1 can NOW
reeolleet, is the offer | have already
mentioned.
Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, d. G. HITCHCOCK.
We venture to say there is no right
minded man in the community who
can read the foregoing testimonials
and not feel that Governor Warmoth
has been signally indicated from the
principal charge of official corruption
urged against him by his enemies.
And as this SANDER has fallen to the
ground, so will the Others follow
when the light of truth is thrown
upon them by examination into the
facts of each case.
While rejoicing heartily in the Gov
ernor's triumph, we wait expectantlg
to see if any of his enemies viii be just
enough to retract the SANDER they
have so vehemently urged, now that
it has been proved beyond doubt to Je
a SANDER. =

A PLAGIARISM.

The New Orleans Times of the 18th
instant contains a lengthy and elab-
crate account of the arrest, trial and
recent execution of the st. James muir
derers, which cannot fail to prove in
teresting to all its readers. We took
up copy of the Times the other even
ing to read the article in question, but
had scarcely begun it when we were
struck by its similarity to something
we had seen before. As we continued,
light suddenly dawned upon us, and
closely examining the narrative, we
recognized the entire account OF the
commission of the murder and subse-
quent capture, trial and sentence OF
the criminals to be the production OF
our own pen, written while occupying
the editorial chair of the ST. James
Sentinel. We looked carefully for the
credit customarily given to borrowed
articles, but none was visible.
A strict regard for truth prevents us
from saying our hair stood on end, but
we did give utterance to a prolonged
whistle, and also made use of the ex-
clamatory expression 'Cracky!' We
had been used to seeing little insig-
nificant country journals, whose edi-
tors lacked either the brains or incli-
nation to write editorials, reproduce
the articles of their contemporaries
without accrediting them, but the idea
of a city journal, occupying such a
prominent position as the Times does,
pilfering the articles of a little country
paper, was new and surprising hence
the whistle and exclamation aforesaid.
With the firm belief that the Times
would Indignantly rebuke a plagiarism
from its own columns, we feel fully
justified in calling upon the editor to
make amends for his little irregulality
and we are sure no one can acknowl-
edge an error and correct it more
gracefully than himself.
Finally, if the editor will favor us
with a copy of his journal containing
the correction, We shall take as much
pains to make that known to the pub
lie as we have done to call attention
to the fault.

Hon. H. c. Warmoth, Governor etc:
Sir-Notieing III this mornings
Times an attack upon your character
by Mr.. John A. Walsh, take this oc
easion to inform You of the following
statement or conversation, which took
place between Mr.. Walsh and some
person whom do not now recoilect:
In the spring of 1869, Mr.. John A..
Walsh came to my stables to get a
horse and buggy. During the time
my men were getting them ready, the
question of whether Governor War
moth could be bribed came up. Mr..
Walsh said he knew he could not
he bribed to do an official act. The
gentleman talking with him disagreed
with him. The conversation grew
warm and spirited When Mr. Walsh
got into the buggy to drive off ttlie
conversation still continuing1, he said,
with vehemence, that he knew Gov
ernor WarnOth could not be bFibed
to do an official act, for he had tried
him. He said he had offered him fif-
ty thousand dollars to sign the Nicnl-
son pavement bill, aud thai he re-
fused it; aud that the Governor gave
good reasons for refusing it, one OF
which was that it was just az proper
for the State treasury to pay the ex-
penses of paving the roads in the par
ishes as it would be for the State to
pay for paving astPeet in New Orleans.
He also stated that the Governor said
no peeuniary consideration whatever
would induce him to sign the bill.

NEW ORLEANS, September II, 1871.

To the Editor of the New Orleans Times:
About two years ago Mr.. John A.
Walsh stated at my Office, in the
presence of Captain John C. Sinnott,
that he had that day offered Governor
Warmoth fifty thousand dollars and
a certain percentage of the profits
arising from the Nicolson pavement
bill, and that the Governor refused to
sign the bill and would not accept the
offer.
Captain Sinnott remarked that was
not the whole of it-perhaps he had
not offered the Governor enough.
Mr.. Walsh replied that he had stated
the whole of it. What Mr.. WALSH
said in the conversation was in de-
Tense of Governor Warnoth,s integri-
ty. Respectfully,
A. w. SMYTH. rft}
/ believe the above statement of DIR.
Smyth to be correct in every particu-
lar, and I would further state the use
of my name in cards published in the
Republican, of the eighth and in your
issue of to-day were unauthorized by
me- / am entirely disconnected with
politics, and do not desire to be as
sociated with party elimination or re-
elimination.
Respectfully,
JOHN c. SINNoTT-
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1871-09-23

Mr.. Walsh knew his Mag
aotid.
Just so. Mr.. Walsh knew that Gov
ernor Walmoth's position as the first
officer of the State government would
prevent bis acceptance of a challenge
TO fight duel, whatever his inclina-
tions might be, and he was careful to
ascertain this beyond a doubt before
sending one. If there had been any
likelihood of his challenge being ae
cepted, Mr.. Walsh would very proba-
bly, have been content with writing
cards to the newspapers in xindication
of his wounded honor. Yes, blooming
Magnolia, he knew his man, and gov
.erned himself accordingly.

NEW YORK CITY, September :, lS1l-
Editor Republican:
l wish to state to you, for the sake
of truth and in justice to Governor
Warmeth, what know in reference
to the signing of the Nicolson pave
ment bill.
John A. Walsh informed me last
winter that he had offered Governor
Warmoth fifty thousand dollars to
sign the bill that the Gorernor stated
that he aroald not sign the bill for any
consideration uhaterer that no In
d,teemeat, pecaaia1g on, otlterarise, aeoRkE
induce him to sign sach a bill; that it
was a bad precedent for the State at
large to pay for improving a street i'll
the city of New Orleans. Mr.. Walsh
further stated to me that if the bill
was proper one the Governor would
have signed it at the request OF Mr..
s. b. Packard, who advised him to do
so, and who was interested in the bill.
Respectfully,
