Meacs ought to be ashamed of him.
self. What sort of a character for
veracity can he expect people to
give him, when in his paper of JAN
uary Goth, he publishes in sensa-
ton head lines, "WALrER WHEY
LAND SHOT AND KILLED BY WARMorH's
PoLIcE?" When he knous that
the evidence taken and the testimo-
ny of deceased are in direct contra
diction Of his statement. But, SO,

The GRAND ERR, Of January 20,
came safely to hand yesterday, and
we hasten to welcome the raro
aris. On scanning its columns we
could not avoid a sickening sensa-
ton at the presence and the promi-
nence of that disgusting article
abusing and disgracing the charact-
er and the memory of a man whose
career had been suddenly and vio-
lently terminated by the Er's
friends. We envy not the man
whose malignity and baseness will
permit him to degrade and trample
on the character and remains of
man SO murdered. Surprising
Walter Wheyland to have been all
that is alleged against him, was he,
therefore, a fit object for the bullet
of the assassin? Was he unworthy
to live and defile the earth on which
the holy crowd of. Burches and
Carriers live? If not so, where is
the point in your defamation? Oh,
Burch! fe, for shame! But turning
from this nauseous article we come
on a theme OF another sort, and
this is the fulsome adulation of the
the living, and as panygeric it is
perfectly unique, and of course such
as only the expelled representative
could write. Mr.. Wilson will, with
out doubt, appreciate it.

pH~The coalition with Democrats
to upset the State Government is
now powerless for harm. The peo-
pie are indicated. They who
wronged them in 6S, who welded
murderous bands together that they
might take life where they could
not get fiith, were not the class of
men to win in 1872 by a union with
corrupt Republicans. The last is
another failure of the slaveholding
Democracy and will be so recorded,
it is not the failure Of Republican
Institutions, nor of principles. They
who Joined Carter united their
strength with his, for the accom-
plishment of a nefarious purpose
not one motive was good one.

%The ex-"Representative" Of
Baton Rouge says, in the Grand
Err, that zone more duty devolves
upon us and that is to cause to be
swept out of existence that infamous
bill No. 81 of last session, by which
a million and a half dollars is to be
paid by the State to an unscrupu-
lous ring, ETC."
Well you know reader, he thought
his crowd were in charge of the
State and had already done every
thing else that had to be done;
hence. he said "and the victory is
ours, might has given place to right
and Warmoth's bluff game has been
defeated" And again "the Grand
Era is entitled to some respect for
its steady and continuous efforts to
accomplish that end"
But see how we'll he knew. The
House of Representatives and the
Senate and Governor Warmoth are
working together in the Mechanics
Institute for the interests of the
State, and where is Burch /? His
conduct was of so conspicuously
disgraceful a character lately that
the House expelled him, and re-
fused to reconsider the vote by
which he was expelled. And the
zone thing more" he had to do has
been done already by another hand.

THE FAGS AND GOVERNOR
WARMOTH.

The following reasons explain
why the Governor is looked upon
with such hostility by the Fags.
Because he vetoed the warehouse
bill wherein ,De ten incorporators
anticipated one hundred thousand
dollars a piece.
Because he vetoed the Levee shed
bill wherein ,oe incorporators ex-
pected to realize an income fol-
twenty-five years, which would in
itself amount yearly to a fortune.
Because he, with a malicious and
vindictive intent, vetoed every bill
in which we of the Customhouse
are in any way interested, thereby
causing us great discomfort, pecu.
mary loss, and any amount of un.
comfortable uneasiness.
Because he vetoed the one million
steamship bill.
Because he vetoed the nine hundred
and fifty thousand dollars Pass-a-
pOutre bill.
Because he does not recognize any
"of us" as entitled to the peoples
money without the peoples con.
sent.
And for other reasons equally
cogent, and equally mercenary.
And now let them pour out some
of the walls of their wrath on the
Legislature who wont pass these
bills ''the objections of the Governor
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

GA BOY GOVERNOR"

From all that can be understood,
WarmOth is the most extraordinary
and precocious leader in the South.
He is represented to be six feet three
inches high, of a slender, wiry build,
but with a fine Kentucky looking face,
large nose, full at the nostrils, keen,
measuring eyes, superb mustache,
and well-cut brows and chin. He is a
native of Louisiana, began public life
when eighteen years of age, being then
fluent stump-speaker, and now, at
%, he is an arrogant, keen-witted and
successful man, worth probably $500,
600, of which he had accumulated
more than 100000 in the practice OF
law in New Orleans. He is unmarried
is much scandalized on the mar
riage point, hOwever-makes his own
game and is thoroughly skeptical about
men, having O pretty rough school Of
it in Louisiana, where nearly all the
poIticians-rebel, negro and northern
are insincere, hollow wretches, who
would turn their back upon him, OF
Grant, or anybody, tomorrow, if they
supposed his power was growing less.
Warmoth's weaknesses are his RASH
ness, boyishness and implacability.
He spends short time, in every case
of difficulty, to effect a compromise;
and this failing, he resolves into an
enemy, and is henceforth unpacifcable.
Glutted with power at an age when
men generally are still porting over
school-books, or learning some voca-
ton, this extraordinary specimen OF
American opportunities in time politi-
cal chaos has already had an epic
career, and lives in much lonely life
the loss of youth poorly compensated
for by premature dominion. His
courage, mental and physical, has been
fully tested. He will run again, and
will doubtless be elected Governor of
the State. The impeachment project
has already blown over. He has at
tached Longstreet to himself, and
Longstreet is, therefore, in peril with
the Executive"
We need not say to Louisiana
readers, as well to those who know
anything at all about Governor
Warmoth, that in essentials this is
about as unreal a picture as even a
poet could imagine. We merely
quote it as an illustration of how
history is made.

THAT COMMITTEE.

And SO the committee appointed
by Congress to come to New Or
leans and inquire into our troubles
and the management of the New
Orleans Customhouse, and how by
the undue interference of federal
officers, and the prodigal distribu-
ton of federal patronage, all the
muss was kicked up may be
looked for tomorrow. 1t may be
as well for commonrense people to
be told that the only work these
gentlemen are appointed for, and
will undertake, is inquiry into the
matters complained Of. They will
endeavor to obtain the best and
most reliable information, and by
their own observation, be able to
arrive at more just and satisfactory
conclusions than they could at a
distance from the tscenes. Their
work done, they will return to
Washington and report to Congress
the result of their inquiries.
We are thus explicit because a
great many of our people have been
persuaded that THE COMMITTEE con-
sists of three dictators, who, when
they come here, will listen to the
complaints of the factions, and pro-
coed summarily to put out the
wrong parties, and put in the right,
No such thing. They neither can,
nor will put anybody out, or any
body in. So possess your souls in
patience and don't be led astray by
some people who impose upon your
want of knowledge, and by others
who. not knowing any better than
yourselves, believe, and for inter-
ested purposes, try to enlist your
belief too. Wait and see for your
selves what this committee is, and
what it will do.

B%The Senate appropriation bill
proposes to abolish the Office OF
Warrant Clerk, and place the con-
troll of the finances in the hands of
the State Auditor. The House OF
Representatives however seem not
prepared to coincide with this view,
and their action Friday in the cleo
ton Of j. Pinckney Smith Esq, is
an indication of this want of agree
ment on an important point.

sD-The Fag is terribly exercised
over the effort to prove "who called
for Federal troops" 1t is the first
time we have seen a set of men
hunting appreciation, and yet DELHI
erately repudiating the authorship
of one of the most humane, most
thoughtful acts of the period. Hosts
of people are of the opinion that
had the Federal troops not been
within call there would have been
bloodshed and riot in the heart Of
our city on Monday.
Their proximity and the deter
mination of the commander pre-
vented this. The Legislature have
been meeting all this week in peace
and promise frou appearances a
speedy entrance on the passage Of
those measures of retrenchment and
reform demanded by the exigencies
of the case, and the interests of the
State. And yet the, Fdg is mot
happy and mighty glads to take
the credit of asking for the troops
on the sly. If mischievous people
even do say that the Fags asked for
them (on the sly so as to have an
excuse of backing out of a position
assumed without even the authori-
ty of the members" let that pass,
people will talk > but for good
ness sake stop trying to convince
people the Fags didn't want them,
because they did. Say you did it,
and take the credit of doing one
magnanimous thing in your career.

the old saying: Threatened men

as good evidence of what this coali-

said that it is composed any longer.
It looks very much like dead thing
