Durelrs decree from q Federal court
empowering the false returning board.

WHAT IS. TO FOLLOW.
These ,danlnable fruits. have already
grown out of the drunkard's decree. but
they are insignificant in comparison with
what must followi il that decree sustained.
1.-The pseudo Legislature will next
abolish the city charter, and so make a
new one, that tue mayor and council will
be appointed BY the Radical Governor.
This will be a renewal Of the trick of 1870,
by which the will of the people of New
Orleans was thwarted. The city debt is
now about twenty-five millions. and as
the city bears more than three-ffhs of all
the burden Of the State-Government and
State debt (forty-two millions,) the ra-
pacity and extravaganza of the (coming)
Radical city rulers will destroy the last
hope of redeeming the credit OF New Or
leans If the ignorant and villanous,
prejudiced and spiteful legislators follow
out, their wicked programme, the city will
be made bankrupt beyond remedy;
2. The confidence of capitalists in this
city and State will be destroyed by foolish
and wicked misgovernment to such de-
gree that no help I'M be had from abroad
to build railway connection with Texas
the only means by which the city s wanine
trade can be revived and sustained.
3. The white people, in despair, will
abandon the State, if able, or suffer in
gloomy dependency if still detained by
poverty.
4. The colored people will swarm hith-
er from all quarters, being tempted by the
predominance which a rascally order Of
| court has conferred upon their race. This
will soon give them ruling majority in
fact as they now claim in form. A hall
century must pass ere the whites can
again claim political equality.
5. But the crowning evil the heprecedent
thus set. What oppressed and insulted
Louisiana suffers now from&this subtle
tyranny will be visited upon all the
Southern States one by one, and after
wards upon all States hostile to hepower
now ruling. 1t isthe dagger of the liberti-
eide thrust deep into the vitals Of the re-
public If this tyranny is sustained the
empire is not many years off.

A Fairfield correspondent of the Char
lesion Msws furnishes the following ac-
count of repetition of the NewDerry
swindle:
We have lately had some of the arts Of
regular Down-East sharper practlced
upon us, by fellow styling himself Brooks
He first made very liberal offers for all
cotton along the line of the Spartanburg
and Union Railroad, and had a good many
bales delivered at the different depots. On
Saturday, 2lst ultimo, be passed down the
road, telling the parties of whom he had
purchased the cotton that be did not have
money enough to pay for it. but would re-
turn on the Monday following to settle
with them and to save them all trouble
and responsibility, they must leave the
cotton in the depot and allow him to take
railroad receipt for 1t, which they un-
warlly did. After waiting impatiently for
week, they found, to their great disgust
that the rascal had drawn money on his
receipts in Columbia, and.put out for parts
unknown.
