New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-09-06
A CARD

My attention aas been Ca,ee2 20 SIS article which
recently appeared in the Bulletin of tits city rec
viving a SANDER perpetrated against me by my
political enemies years since, and being
| thoroughly refUted at the time, I am surprised
| that a journal laying claim to resoectaoiiitp
should at period of the severe domestic afi;co
ton that has been visited upon nes have
been unfeeling to reterate what it should
have known to be false as means of paliiatlng
the crime of the men who murdered my brother
The Bulletin of September 4, in an article headed
1.-TWO of the Coushatta Victims" says
One of the men who was killed in the Coushatta
trOu bic was brother OF the somewhat Sotorious
Gallery in this city until he returned himself
elected to the Warmoth Legislature from Benyillts
parish (where he had been sent a SegstrarA
when 1t was spirited awaye
This is base SANDER, amt mas ionS since bees
proven to be suche But preferring to think tho
Bulletin may possibly have been ignorant of the
fact rather than to believe is has wil1uy attempts
ed TO renew the SANDER for political purposes. {
