We copy the following from the St.
Louis RcpAblicaa,, TO show whas it says
about a-dfsting uislied Louisianial.
There is asrunlor in, New Orleans
that Colonel George Williamson, who
aspired t.. be the Greeley candidate
| for Governor of louisiana, has been
tempted to take the Office Of attorney
for the Southern Pacific railroad, and
to ioin Kellogg in the canvass for
Grant. The rumor is probably foundf'
4 ed on the tact that While accompany
ing Scott and Forney on. their accent
southern Pacific railroad mission to
San Francisco, Colonel Williamson
made an enthusiastic GraR speech to
the Young Men's Central Republican
| Club Of San FraHcieo. That speech,
as reported i'm the San Francisco pa
pers of the fifth, will probably aston
ish some of his Louisiana friends.
But its reception by the club'was the
most astonishing part of the perfor-
nance. 1t was greeted with applause
and nantes, atoms of delight, such as
]. were notsesokedf by the eloquence OF
z Forney or "Bilp Stewart, the RienZl
of Nevada Colonel Williamson de
4 clared himself a life long disciple OF
Calhoun, and boasted Of his exploits
as practical seeessiOnist. Deep
silence pervaded the assembly while
: he declared that he had nothing TO
recant; that he felt no sorrow for the
part he had takeniou that. issue, and
had no tears to shed for what he had
!. done during the war. But when he
announced that he would as an un-
abashed and unrepentant, rebel cast
; his first vote since the war Tor General
Grant; he received perfect ovation.
The San Francisco papers say that
\ 4" the audience fairly shouted with
enthusiasm, and followed their loud
4 cheers with, tremendous applause,
which continued several minutes"
When he alluded to the abuse which
! Greeley had, heaped upon his, people
/. and his section, the audience was in
dignant, and when lie said it-was dis
: honorable in Southern man tofyote
: for the traducer of his section, they
e manifested an affecting sympathy Tor
4 the wronged South. They made 1t
very evidenttlat loyal tlist4ust of unre-
! pcritant rebels scontinea eatirely to the
!, rebels who soted forn Greeley, and
that it is him they fear, and not the
!, CoHederates who support him. 3
