Their hosts will lavish hospitalitie.. but
will at the same time. probably. intimate
that they are. par e.cclieace. the gentlemen
of the State OF Louisiana, and that :hey do
not wish to be confounded with Kellogg's
carpetbaggers or Casey's inspectors Of Gus
toms. They viii regret that Governor Nc.
Emery could not have been permitted to
carry on the State government. and they
will discourse on the iileness Of the mig.

lively wonder why Northern capitalists do
not make larger investments in Louisiana.
Now. il these unrecons.ructed :ebels

recently convulsed Louisiana. They have
INDUCED in the most outrs geOus language.
:he most malignant falsehoods. and the
most hatred rousing appeals to the old rebel
element. all acting like disturbing and con.
vulsing poison. Even the agent there Of
the Associated Press. who. OF all men in
the ,eportorial profession. should be in.-
partial. has been afflicted of late with the
Old secesh virtigo. and has sent northward
dispatches in which there was little if any
truth. bu: much misrepresen:a :ation.
W. hope that those who visit the Cres.

or deceived. and that they will DO, perIni:
the ''trs: gentlemen to prevent. bv hospita-
BILE attentions, their making the acquaintance
OF the loyal citizens of Louisiana. They
will find them industrious. worthy, and
intelligent. but above az! loyal 20 the fe.
deral and State governments to which they
owe allegiance. With their complete pro
lection in all the rights of citizenship Will
come the prosperity OF redeemed and re-
constructed Louisiana.
