owned by private company has been set up near
the city and a franchise given to II to control al
the butchers in New Orleans and this has brought
on costly lawsuit between the butchers and the
city which has actually got to be argued before the
amendment, ON the ground that this sort OF cOrp0-
ration abridges the privileges OF citizens.
THE THE THING tg.
have no desire to be unjust to Mr.. Warmoth or to
his enemies, but the trouble with the South has
uniformly been that no Northern man went there
to understand IL, but mainly to carp upon the
wretchedness Of the country or to do or get sOme-
thing for his own advantage. The mistake, in
baggery is this-that none but unworthy men
would attempt, under the conditions OF society in
as strangers, While educated citizens OF the South
who should have seen the inevitable ana under
stood II for the sake Of their people lay back in ap
athy and even ahet these unworthy invaders In
order to make reconstruction scandal and secure
the old condition OF things. Tho South to-day has

wARMOTHS LAST CARD.
Mr.. Warmoth, ol louisiana, is almost without
excuse in one respect. He was a Governor before
he had attained the age OF thirty unmarried, and
he could a least have lived sucd Lie as would
have saved him from mere street scandal He is
tious projects, perfectly in love with his
own character, rising now to heights
of eaton which are as unlovely the inlrequent
periods when he has been known to see his weak
and to shed tears in tue presence OF strangers
He has considerable property and is independent or
chances, his desperate game; and, surrounded by
refuse people who carry pistols and by the lowest
classes Of the original south, with few imported
thrown by the Courts, to shock the North with a
personal collision, which u Is one Of the purposes
OF this letter TO anticipate for the sake OF thou
sand human lives, each one oil which Is perhaps
more entitled to be saved than his own.
lf have been unsparing in my treatment OF
Governor warmoth and his party do not mean to
be any nlilder in dealing with what is called
TIE CUSTOM HOUSE WING
OF the republican party in Louisiana. The weak
ness OF their position lies in General Grant, who
has appointed weak, snowy and good.natured
brother-in-law to be Collector or the port of New
Orleans, the best office In the South, and this
clouds the vision OF the Executive upon Louisiana
tom House party out OF proportion with It's real in
nuence with the President Under former col
ector, Warmoth had the run OF the Custom House,
and an order from him would secure ones dsmis-
sal or appointment. Under the present dynasty
the Custom House has attempted to rule The offices
contest between an INSCRIPTIONS Governor
and an impertnent set OF United States officers,
which the great bulk Of the American people take
no interest in. 1t is a scandal that the Custom
/ House in any seaport should face about from its
legal employment to trouble the interior and seek
| to rule the State. Moreover these Custom House
chaps are carpet tbaggers just as much as WarmOth
and his crew, and in fact, warmoth represents at
the present time ten whites Of Louisiana to one for
whom the Custom House is representative
MIR. CASEY, COLLECTOR OF THE PORT.
OF New Orleans Is OF no possible account In any
discussion OF the situation except that, like all
weak people, lie meddlcs about and fusses around
and gets IN the way and makes apparent compli-
cations where none exist. tourist going through
the South almost wishes that Congress would
create set OF Offices in distant place espe-
ciay for the Presidents relations so that they
might be well taken care Of and do nobody else
any harm. The real master Of the Custom House
partys
s. d. PACKARD.
He is large, mush, bilious man. who instigated
and leads the fight on Warmoth on behalf OF the
Custom House, which the people OF Louisiana
ought to be fighting under leadership
Of their own. This fellow used the
great unsghty Custom House building as the
place to carry out coup d'etot by convenng the
