Greeley's letter of acceptance of the

column to the subject.
We elsewhere publish Mr.. Greeley's

tinguished for keen perception, close

The Homer lUidd, Jasper Black
burns journal, seldom has more SELL
sible editorial than the following:
1t would seem that Governor War
moth il thoroughly committed to the
Lileral Republican movement, and it
will support Greeley. This may be
best for all OF us; but in Governor
WarmOth's case. certainly NO fair or
reasonable man can blame him. As
to Greeley. he certainly has a. good a
Republican record as Grant; aud as
to Warrnoth, he certainly has as good
a Republican record as many in this
State, and at Washington city, who
have persistently sought to rule him
ont of what is by them termed the reg
ular Republican party of Louisiana.
Our prediction is that WarmOth will
win-whateyer the national result may
be. We certainly want Republican
elected to the Presidency, without any
entangling alliances with the possum
Democracy but if We can not have
this without the sacrifice of personal
honor, and without sanctioning glar-
ing personal and political injustice to
man like Governor Warmoth, who
helped 50 manfully and efficiently to
build ND the Republican party in the
South, and especially in Louisiana,
aud who has done SO much and endur-
ed so much sacrifice to lift up the
black man from his former degrade,
tion-why, we must say rather than
submit to and iniosse such conduct
and such programme as this, we, az
a. Republican, sin whom there is no
guile would I've willing TO take old
Horace Greeley on trust, with even
his present alliances for we know the

THE INVESTIGATING Committee
IL is barely possible that anybody
will see the printed report of the New

after the election. The testimony is
too damaging to Messrs. Casey, Pack

let it see the light. The rumor that
he had removed his brother-in-law
i'm consequence of these discredit-
able exposures is about as destitute OF
foundation as that Grant care for any
body but himself and relations. The
committee was sent to New Orleans in
the belief that something could he

Now they have it, they don't know
