the signal aud most honorable recovery of you
| political and civil rights, let me advise extrem,
moderation. Resume your avocatons as soor
| as dismissed from the organized ranks. Us,
the utmost toIbearance towards those who holC
| political opinions adverse to yours. Interfere
| with no peaceful assemblages of your fellow
| citizens of any race or color; use all your in.
| fiuence to preserve the peace and maintain the
supremacy of the law, and prove 10 the world
| that you can be as forbearing to those who
| abused and usurped authority as you were pa
tent and long suffering under their tyranny
Seek no revenge for past injuries, but leave
your fallen enemies to the tortureS of their own
consciences and to the lasting infamy which
their acts have wrought for them

Gov. PENIS residence, 236 ST. Charles street.
was filled all the morning with citizens con-
graduating him ON the situation. Messrs. Mari,
Ellis, Beard and Others were present when the

cheers. Major Wilt called at the Governors
esidence about 10 O clock. Four Metropoli-

up to headquarters to be paroled. Andy Du-
mont, a member of the Kellogg Legislature
School Board then surrendered himself. The
barricades have been torn down and the street
cars resumed their trips
A ramon that Longstreet was captured hav-
ing gained credence, an excited crowp gathered
in front of st. Charles Hotel at 1130 a. m. 1t
was addressed by Hon. r III. Mari, with the
most happy effect. Mr.. MARI congratulated
the citizens of New Orleans on the signal vic
tory they had achieved over the usurpation I'M
der which they had suffered He hoped the
determined stand they had taken, marked with
careful avoidance of unnecessary violence
Wonld convince the people and government of
the United States that the only position they
had assumed was that they must restore the
state to the charge of its elected officers, save
it from ruin, and protect its citizens without
regard TO class or race. He said, it has been
rumored that Messrs. Kellogg aud Longstreet
were under arrest. He claimed for them that
they should be subjected to no dignity. The
object OF the government was attained Each
citizen must now act as a conservator of the
peace, and take cpre that the state received no
uetrment, by convincing the country by our
orderly conduct that we ere only endeavoring
to secure our just rights without infringing on
the rights or safety of others. A police force
was organizing, though so general was the gen.
eral adherence OF the public order and peace,
that it seemed almost needless. For twelve
months past have labored faithfully for the
redemption of this state. If you have any re-
spect for me, which believe you have, for
Gods sake, and for my sake, do nothing to tar
nish the fair fame of the state of Louisiana, or
to diminish the victory you have achieved.
The remarks by Mr.. Mari were received with
unbounded demonstrations of approval.
Major William G. Robbins, late of the Fed
eral army, lost a leg yesterday on the side of
the citizens. He is doing well this morning.
