made to suppress this by either party,
because both were free to do what Ell
ther did. If the Governor had been
the despot that he was represented to
be, and had had at his control the
thugs who were said to be his to do
his bidding, this thing might not have
been as clear as it has been; and
though we do not approve of slander-
Gus abuse, still we prefer to see it toll
Grated for those who do like it rather
than that the freedom of speech should
be suppressed when the truth is nec-
essary to be told. AS has been said,
error is never dangerous so long as
virtue is left free to combat it; and
the speech that is wicked can do but
little hurt while the voice of honesty
is allowed to meet and destroy it. Is
it not better, then, to have free speech
under Warmoth, than to be muzzled
under another man whose popularity
might be the result of a suppression
of the truth ?

A Remarkable Career of Crime.

Charles d. Hilderhrand, the nOto-
rious burglar and jail breaker, now
in prison at St. Joseph, Mo-, tells the
story of his life, an unbroken success
sion of crimes, beginning in his early
childhood. He was born in 1910, and
at the age of three months he was
stolen from his parents, and it would
seem that this act had some influence
upon his character, for his favorite
crime has always been robbery. When
only eight years old he was detected
in robbinga money drawerin St. Louis,
but on account of his age he was not
imprisoned. Only year afterward
he appeared in Paris, where he was
convicted of robbery and sentenced to
one years imprisonment, but after
three months confinement he was par
doned. Immediately upon his release
he went to London, where he was de-
tected in attempting a heavy robbery
with two notorious burglars. Both Of
his companions were transported to
Van Dieman's Land for 80 years. and
after six months imprisonment in the
Old Bailey, Hilderbrand, now only IL
years of age, was banished to America
He went from England to Montreal
where he was soon detected in another
robbery, and sentenced to six months
Imprisonment, but managed to Obtain
his liberty at the end of three days

Graphic Picture of a Senator.

We extract the following from the
ST. Louis Democrat of recent date:
The telegraph informs Us that ex-
Senator McCreery has been nominated
by the Democrats of the Kentucky
Legislature to succeed Garret Davis
in the United States Senate on the
4th of March. McCreery is jolly
old soul, and personally, one of the
cleverest of men. You would take
him, from his dress and appearance in
the Senate, to be well-to-do farmer,
fresh from his barn-yard, who had
just dropped in to see with what little
wisdom the world was governed. He
was elected a few years ago to fill the
upexpired term of Mr.. Guthrie, and
served until the 4th of March last.
He was a candidate for reelection,
and indications were decidedly in his
favor. He felt so confident of success
that he declined to go home to take
part in the canvass. Finally his
friends persuaded him that he must
be present at least to receive the con-
gratulati0ns of his friends when the
thing was done. So he started for
Frankfort. He had got as far as Lex
ington when he received an invitation
to big wedding party in that city,
commemorative of the nuptials of two
members of the first families. He
accepted, and presented himself in
homespun and tobacco juice. At the
supper table that evening he met his
political death in this way: Right in
the presence of the elite. under the
blaze of the big chandeliers, he trans
ferred an unwashed soup spoon, yet
moist with moek-turtle, into the bow
els of formidable pyramid of ice
cream and so mixed up his courses as
to chagrin and disgust all the first
families represented at the festal
board. He was doomed. No man who
who, so thoroughly disregard the pro-
prieties was fit to represent Kentucky
in the Senate. A delegation went
from Lexington next day intent upon
his defeat, and they worked so assid-
uously in the name of all that was
respectable in Kentucky, that they
shelved him effectually. John w.
Stephenson, then Governor of the
State, was elected in his stead. Nc
Creery went back to finish out his
term in the Senate, swearing ven
geance against the "shoddyites Of
the Blue Glass region" as he styled
them. He was rich, and the masses
rather liked him because he wasn't
Turveydropsical; he has spent a yeal
in hard wsrk among his friends, and
has now redeemed the blunder of the
soup spoon. He is man of unusual
ability in his way, and there is il
him; as public speaker, vein o.
humor that often recalls the best days
of Tom Corwin.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-01-20

Appearing shortly after this in Kings
ton, Canada West, he was again ar
rested for robbery, and imprisoned for
one year, serving out his full term.
In 1852 he returned again to the
United States, and almost immediate
ly made his appearance in a bold rob-
berry at Allegheny City, Penn, which
shut him up again for two years.
Scarcely had he gained his liberty
when he was detected in a robbery
and murder, and transported to Cuba
for 20 years. One of his companions
was imprisoned for life. Hilderbrand
contrived to obtain a release at the
end of three months, and soon after
was sentenced to 10 years imprison-
ment in Mexico for indulging again in
his favorite crime. He escaped after
six weeks Imprisonment, and returned
again to the United States. Convicted
of robbery soon after in Nashville,
Tenn, he was sentenced to the penl-
tentiary for eight years, but was re-
leased through legal interference at
the end of month";, In 1855 he ap-
peared in San Francisco, and was an
inmate ofthe city prison for one month.
Going to Europe again, he next served
term of seven months at Birming-
ham, England; five months in dun
geOn at Lyons, France, and two
months in Berlin, Prussia. Return
ing to America, he served one month
in Jail at Pittsburgh, Penn; two
months in Cincinnati; was sentenced
for four years at Baton Rouge, La,
but escaped at the end of fifteen days ;
six months at St. Louis; bought him.
self out in three days; served two
years in Illinois for two distinct
charges, and escaped third by fight
to Europe. Returning to the United
States in 1865 he was recognized and
imprisoned in Illinois for one year.
At the expiration of his term he at
once entered into conspiracy to rob
an express company in Indiana, but
was exposed by his associates, taken
to Milwaukee, and sent up for five
years. He served four years and four
months, and was then discharged for
good behavior. He has served four
teen years in various prisons, part
of the time closely confined in dun
geons. He has been in ten different
State prisons, four city prisons,
twenty police stations, and seven
county calaboOses. He declares that
he intends now to reform, and devote
himself to the publication of book
of crime, exposing the manner III
which burglers operate, illustrating
it by scenes from his own experience

A Farewell to Geo. w. Carter.

Farewell G.. w. Carter. You Nave
played big hand in the game OF Lau-
isiana politics, you have; That Dine
Spanish mantle flung loosely over
your shoulders, and coneealing under
meath every imaginable weapon that
goes off with powder, must now be
taken to other fields than these. But
don't take it to Washington, q. w,
principally because it don't Look well.
Chiyalry does not set well on the. Ma
tional stomach. When political lead
ers there surround themselves with
ruffians, who make quorums OF dead
men. they somehow do not get along.
1t is surprising but it is true. The.
new parliamentary code of yours won't
work in that country. By no stretch
of logic can dead man make quo
rum, even of legislative body. You
are & ssbnsted played out. Your rum
mill is closed. Not even the Marshars
private office is secure for You now.
It is a pity, but it is so. We know
YOU wanted i" Reform, You needed
it-no man more. We know you had
a nice little job to turn the State over
to the Democrats, but it didn't go
through. We are sorry for the DEM
oerats: they meant well in their way,
hut they are busted too. You
won't be Governor, G.. w. Sorry are
we. but you must work for your liv-
ing hereafter, and not have the State
to support you. Paddle your own
canoe, for now you will find out no
Democrat will paddle it for you. Tex
as customs don't get along here any
more. 1t is great misfortune but it
is a fact. The Digger Indians tnot
taxedl might afford you shelter-they
believe in quorum of dead men-we
don't, G. W., more's the pity. Go
With you. Records generally keep
where you will your record win go with
company with a high toned gentle
men like yourself and the Fdgs whom
you lead. 1t Is astonishing how rees
ords stick to man yours isn't il
good one. You believe in cutting
down the majority of your opponents
by g hook or by crook but it won't
pay. Civilization don't permit it; it

Yourself in your mantle, you weii't

NUMBER 10.
Address of Speaker Brewster.

Immediately after the election of
Hon. O. H. Brewster, of Ouachita, as
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tatives, at the session of January 4th,
he addressed the members as follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Repre-
sentatives-Yo will not think it
strange if | express surprise at thus
being elevated to the responsible
position of Speaker of the House of
Representatives. You know as we'll as
myself that it is not fifteen minutes
since my name was first mentioned as
candidate, and, consequently, now
take the chair without having made
promise to any member OF this
House. | am untrammelled and free,
and will give you but one pledge at
this time, and that is, that | will
recommend and practice the most
rigid economy in every branch of our
expenditures.
We have been extravagant and
wastefnl in the extreme, and, while
| know that certain individuals are
far more criminal than others, yet
l cannot and will not deny that we
are all most shamefully to blame for
the manner in which we have allowed
the peoples money to be used In the
past. Then let us cease to attempt to
throw the blame of our former mis-
deeds upon any one man, or faction,
or party-in short, let us cease to look
to- the past except with the determin-
alton of discovering our own mistakes
for the purpose of avoiding them IL
the future.
Let us unite with a firm resolve
that we will pass such resolutions
and laws, or if necessary, recommend
to the voters of the State such amend.

ever prevent the plundering OF the
people hereafter.

sions like this for the recipients OF
Office to return thanks to those VINO

session, and then il | find that you
have stood by me in my firm deter
mination to carry out the great prlh-
ciples of reform and retrenchment

the people throughout the State, then

position in which you have placed.
me. Let us keep the necessity OF
reform constantly in view, and make
a record to which we can look back at
the end of the session with feelings
of satisfaction and approval record
which we can point our constituents
on our return home, and justly claim
that we have done our duty as the
representatives of the people-a rec
ord TO which our children after us Will

their father proved true and faithful
in one of the most critical periods OF
the history of Louisiana. No class OF
men ever had better opportunity to

the confidence of the people. | hope
and trust, and can say from indlea-
tions which / already see, that

Critical Periods of Human Life,

From the age Of forty TO that OF
sixty, man who properly regulates
himself may be considered in the
prime of life. His matured strength
of constitution renders him almost
impervious to the attacks of disease,
and his functions are in the highest
order. Having gone year or two
past sixty, however, he arrives at
a critical period of existence, the
river of death flows before him, and
he remains at a stand-still. But
athwart this river is viaduct called
" The Turn of Life" which, if crossed
in safety, leads to the valley of cold
Age round which the river winds
and then flows beyond without a boat
or causeway to effect it's passage.
The bridge is, however, constructed
of fragile materials, and it depends
upon how it is trodden, whether it
bend or break. Gout, apoplexy and
other bad characters are also in the
vicinity to waylay the traveller and
thrust him from the pass; but let him
grid up his loins, and provide himself
with perfect cOmposure. To quote a
metaphor, I" the turn of life" +" has
a turn either into a prolonged walk
or into the grave. The system and
power, having reached their utmost
expansion, now begin either to close,
like flowers at sunset. or break down
at once. One injudicious stimulant
single excitement, may force il
beyond its strength whilst careful
supply of props, and the withdrawal
of all that tends to force plant, will
sustain it in beauty and yigor until
night has nearly set in.

The New Orleans Mitraillewss has
made its appearance in all the gor-
geousness of a beautiful heading,
much improved geographically and
enlarged in size. We have had no
time as yet to peruse its columns,
hence shall withhold our Judgment of
Its editorial department for a future
time. The remarkable, wavering
part which its editor has played in
the political arena during the last
month or so has somewhat shaken our
faith in his Judgment and stability,
but We hope he may retrieve himself
by more consistent future, arrayed
upon the side of the right, in which
case, all success 70 the handsome M
