SEELYE AND LUDELING.

For the first time, we venture to say, in the
history Of any community claiming to be
somewhat above the cannibals and Fijians IN
civilization, the extraordinary spectacle is
presented of the Presiding Judge Of the high
est tribunal in the land harboring criminal
in his own house, and being detected in t'a-
orante delicto by the officers Of the law sent
after his opal" Deputy Marshal Seelye-one
of Packards choicest representatives in North
Louisiana. We thought this man Seelye
had touched the lowest depth of infamy which
any Shiny creature of his kind could possibly
reach but upon reflection we have come to the
conclusion that "Chief Justice" Ludel;ng beats
him by several fathoms Of mud. At all events,
they will both go down to posterty together
and be forever remembered in Louisiana as
par mobile frdtr1m.

PACKARD'S INTIMIDATION GAME.

HOW TT WORKED IN THE COUNTRY.
The following letter, which was received by
one of our largest commission houses in the
city, shows how the little game of intimidation,
fixed up by Messrs. Williams, Packard, Kel-
logg and company, worked in the country
parishes, and proves that had it not been for
the gross outrages committed by the soldiers
under Merrill and other military satraps, the
whites would have cast a very much larger
vote in the parishes:

NOR WEST.

The secret Of the sudden departure OF Inc
so-called Senator West-generally known here
as "Sou' West" since his singular acrooauc
performances in the st. Philip Canal bust
ness-is now fully explained.
He was dispatched BY Packard, Commander
in Chief of the Army and Navy OF the United
States in Louisiana, to confer with those spot
less patriots O. P. Morton, 3. T. Butler ana
half a dozen equally honorable and high
toned leaders of the great party OF Addition
Division and Silence" to find ont what sort
Of backing they might expect in their now
plainly declared purpose Of repeating the sue
cegsful swindle through which they got
possession Of the State government two
years ago.
The Republican Of this morning incautlously
let's the cat out of the bag. by the official an
nouncement that the Returning Board Is ex-
pected to count in Dubuclet and a majority OF
Radicals in the next House Of Representatives
of this State. Entertaining shrewd sus-
pic;on that this bold and criminal attempt to
defeat the popular will would be promptly
and effectually squelched, they are trying to
induce the members Of the Returning Board
to perpetrate that infamy under the protect
ing o3gis of the military and naval forces now
stationed in this city, with the desperate hope
tina. collision between the people and the
Federal power would necessarily ensue, and
thereby give them little political capital to
bolster up their sinking fortunes.
In this hope they will be disappointed.
The officers in high command here are gentle
men as well as soldiers, and will lend no
assistance to political gamblers who are ready
to stake their last stolen dollar upon such a
periIous cast of the die. The people OF
Louisiana have other means tnan mere phys
ical force to stop the political legerdemaln
with which they are threatened, as Packard "
Co will very soon find out, if they venture
upon the rash experiment. In the mean
while, their ambassador, "Sou' West" has
left for the home Of that foul specimen Of g
Radical statesman, 0. p. Morton, who "now
lies rotting" somewhere in Indiana. The
new dignity conferred upon "Sou' West a"
calls for recognition at QUE hands, and We
accordingly propose that he shall hereafter be
designated as "Nor' West
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-11-08
LET HIM ADVOCATE.

Now that the people of Louisiana have,
through the ballot box, in the most unequiv-
ocsl manner, expressed their condemnation
OF Kellogg and his fraudulent government;
now that the usurper must be thoroughly con-
WINGED both by the bullets Of the people on
the 18th Of September and and by their votes
on the I'd of November, that he is not the
choice of the citizens of this State and is not
wanted as it's Governor, there is nothing LETT
for him to do but to leave the position he il
legally occupies and surrender j. to its right
full owner, Gov. McEnery.
A little deliberation and calm survey Of the
situation must satisfy Kellogg that his doom is
inevitable. Nothing can save him from politi-
cal humiliation. With the Democratic ma
jority, which We most PROFESSIONALLY have in
the House Of Representatives, the suspension
from Office of Kellogg, Antoine ct ID omne
genus, will be an easy matter; or with the
count of the returns of the election in 1872,
by the Legislature, as provided by law, the
Inauguration of the entire McEnery Govern
ment, will be an equally easy method of re-
lieving the present de facto of all further re-
sponsibiiiies and cares Of public office.
With such fate staring him in the face,
and with the certainty that public and official
disgrace will forever attach to his name, if he
be the sensib!y, prudent and far-seeing man
that his friends claim him to be, he should not
hesitate an instant as to the course he should
pursue in the emergency that presents itself
for his consideration.
An acknowledgment of his error at this time,
when he has received such proofs from his
own boosted adherents, the negroes, that his
claim to the Governorship Of Louisiana is dis
puted, and even denied by them, to say moth
ing Of the unanimous reputation Of his
usurpa.ion by the white people, would enable
him to escape the humiliation and degradation
that are certainly in store for him if he per-
sists in holding out to the last extremity. In
this instance, Kellogg viii find discretion to be
the better part of valor, and we advise him 70
adopt the precaution we suggest: to "step
down and out" and not to 'stand upon the or
der of doing it, but do it at once"

HOW THEY DO 1T.
Tricks of the Faithful.

The faithful are hard put to it to devise
WAYS to reduce the large Democratic majority
in this parish, and SO great do they consider
the necessity of SO doing to secure the State
that they stop at no trick that tends to the
end in view.
number of United States Supervisors
have been approached and offered rewards tor
doing dirty work, and on their declining have
been granted UNLIMITED leave Of absence,
which is mild way of dischargine them
before their duties are completed.
A case illustrative of their style Of doing it
has come to our knowledge.
On Tuesday last, the day following the cleo
ton. Mr. VIM. Swear, the U. S. Commission
er of Poll No. 6, Ninth Ward, where there was
polled majority of $50 Democratic votes,
was interviewed by one Kleinpeter, the As
s;stant q. S. Commissioner, who wanted Mr..
Swear to take oath to an affidavit to which he
fKleinpeter) had already sworn to, alleging
tbat fraud and intimidation had been practiced
in the precinct. Kleinpeter informed Mr.
Swear that if he did this he would be fixed;
that Tom Carey (Radical candidate for the
Senate) would secure him paying position.
Mr.. Swear promptly and emphatlcally de-
chned to be party to any such trick
On Tuesday evening Pan Casey tried his
powers of persuasion on the gentleman, and
confirmed the premise OF reward made by
kIeinpeter, but Mr.. Swear stood firm.
It would seem, however, that all hopes OF
moving the gentleman had not been lost, for
on Friday, when he repaired to the Custom
House 10 get the money for services rendered,
he was informed that no money was
due him that an act passed at
the last Legislature had done away
with all salary to Q. S. Commissioners,
rather thin this) and he was tEen introduced
to p F. Herwig radical candidate for Civil
sheriff., who made promises of desk in tho
Custom House, to which was attached large
emoluments and still Mr.. Swear "could not
see it," He is still waiting for his salary,
although to-day, on learning that information
of the affair had come into the possession OF
the Bu1aErn, they were very anxious to
square accounts, provided he would use his
influence to prevent publication Of the facts.

Progress Of the Adjud ication Of the Southern
Claims.

Progress Of the Adjud ication Of the Southern
The Commissioners of Southern Claims ct
Washington are now engaged taking test-
mony. The entire number of claims pre-
scented to the Commissioners is over 10000,
only 1854 of which have been adjudicated. A
year ago the aggregate amount Of the claims
so passed upon was $40, 224, 1856, leaving to be
disposed of, II, 600 claims amounting to $780,
1000. Several millions of dollars have been
appropriated and paid in satisfaction of the
over 5000 claims above referred TO, and re-
ported to Congress by the Commissioners.
The number to be reported to Congress next
winter will not be SO large as heretofore.
Many Of the claimants placed their re-
spective claims at very high figures, such
as the facts presented did not justify, and
therefore there was an extensive reduction by
the commissioners. As instances, one man
claimed SIS, 600, and was cut down to $4,000,
and another, who claimed $4,000, received
| only $3.50. These claims, it will be recol-
lected, arise from seizures and destruction of
property owned by Union men in the South
ern States. The question Of loyalty is an es-
| sential element in their allowance. The time
for presenting claims expired on the Sd of
March, 1873. A bill is pending in Congress
to extend the time for this purpose, many per-
sons not having heard of the limit Wash
