The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-11-11
LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
Correspondence Of the Bulletin.]

ly prevail, is jubilant. Hopes are entertaine
that the rebuke given yesterday to the part
in power, and the seal of condemnatio
placed on those walton and cruel measure
by which some of our fairest States have bee
kept in condition of poverty and discourage
ment for many years, will at once inspire
more liberal policy on the part OF the FEEDERS
authorities, and relieve them from that swarm
of adventures whose destruction Of o.
branches Of industry in those fair Southern
States has caused universal distress to the pee
pie of the North.
Your correspondent last night, from
o'clock to 5 this morning, was in the nu
merous centres OF excitement, and witnessed
the enthusiasm OF the populace, as the re
turns were placed on the bulletin board, o
the great Herald, posted in every part of Thu
city and Brooklyn.
Strong calcium lights illuminated the bul
letin boards SO perfectly at the numerous
branch Offices OF the Herald, and other places
of popular resort, where thousands had IS
| sembled to obtain correct returns, that they
| could be easily read at great distance.
As the result from the numerous wards and
made known in their details through the skill
Of the master minds directing this enterprise
OF the Herald, the enthusiasm of the assem-
bled thousands was indescribable.
". ID. henry, the superintendent of the
Herald, was the moving spirit i'll these intricate
and perfectly conducted arrangements, and
how well he performed his severe task was
evlnced by the constant expression that the
more difficult AID expensive the undertaking.
the more certain the Herald was to engage in
the enterprise.
The news of possible victory for the Con-
servatlves III Louisiana, was received with
great demonstrations Of delight, and this
morning at the hotel where your correspondent
resides, 1t was pathetic sight to witness the
sparkling eyes and bright faces of number
OF ladies from the South, who for so many years
have been like Niobe, all tears at the misfortunes
oftheir country, now cheered by the prospect of
dehverance from the rule of party which
has rendered their homes habitations of daily
poverty and torture.
Two questions must now be seriously con-
sidered Will this change in political affairs
improve business, and will the Democratic
party in the day of its renewed life act with
wisdom and honesty?
The general impression is, business will re-
ceive new impetus and all classes believe that
political affairs are on better basis, and will
speedily produce a better feeling in all depart
nents of trade, especially from the fact that
there is now q well-grounded faith that the
end, and that relieved from uncertainty and
anarchy the people OF the South will live
peaceably together without regard to race, and
90 honestly to work to reduce taxation and
cultivate their fields, so that again prosperous,
hey will become the liberal customers of the
West for stock and grain, and of the North
or the innumerable articles which, before the
var, kept so many factories in constant opera
ion, gave employment to SO many laborerers

Anxiety as to whether the Democratic party |
viii act with wisdom and honesty, is generally |
tor upon this depends any perma-
lent and available good. One fact must be |
,ept in view, the results of yesterday are not
lue to Democratic gains alone, but also to the
act that thousands of Republicans, dissatis-
led with the Radicalism Of their own party,
nd yet not fully convinced Of the Conserva-
ism OF the Democratic party, did not vote.
Such being the case, the Democracy must
ct with moderation and good sense, if this
lass is to be won over to the Democratic side
. the great contest of 1876.
The insolence and arrogance Of the Repub-
can leaders, the political corruption and ex-
esses Of its most accredited representatives,
heir istless Indifference to all the woes OF the
eople, the refusal to pay any attention to the
sceived merited punishment
The Republican party, like the Democratic,
onident in its strength and deceived by bad
dvisers, drifted into similar whirlpool, and
'-day it is flashed over the wires that even
hitherto the impregnable cita-
Ell OF Republicanism, has been carried by the
and the ablest man in the party
efeated for Congress, and that nothing can
I'VE the party to which he belongs but the
lily OF the Democratic party.
1t is rumored here that the Returning
GARD In Louisiana propose to count out por-
On Of the white vote and declare the Radical
indicates elected. 1t seems incredible in
ew of the results Of Tuesdays election, but ,
dglng from the past, nothing is too auda-
GUS for the Kellogg government to under
Ike.
The Administration has a black stain on its
putation and burden to carry in this Lou
lana business, and now the people of the

ough-j Justice must be done to whites and
acks alike. Into oblivion with your carpet

Political extinction awaits the party if it's
oral sense on this subject longer remains
rmsnt, and as surely by Tuesdays election
dicates that TIE people are tired of strife
d peculation, and knavery and lawlessness,
It as surely they will stamp out of political
lstence those who sustain consciencless
lges and corrupt officials in your State, no
utter how high in office. or good their past

The Southern people, however, must wait n
little longer. All their redemption must

Loyalty to right is the fruit of injury suf- tt
ed from wrong doing; truth and honesty is 70

your State.
