WHAT THEY THINK OF US ABROAD,

In view Of the appeal made by all parties
in Louisiana to the adjudication and action
of the federal government, it would be use
less to exasperate public sentiment here
about q question which will be decided
abroad. For the purpose Of giving ali
readers an opportunity Of forming an
opinion Of what that irresistible conStltH-
ency, the people OF the Union, think Oh
the late events occurring il Grant PARISH
We have collected and published para
graphic extracts from. our eZtnahgeS'
This has been .lone imnartially, TO:

orip;ou here. II is intended to sho" the
course Of thought elsewhere il regard TO
