Mobile contemporaries. One is from the Req
lister, Democratic paper, and the other from
the Graphic, which; though ncminally inde-
pendent in politics, leans to the Republican
side. They both unite in pronouncing the
capture of our forms by Badger and his po-
lice as an outrage without parallel and with
out an extenuating or plausible excuse. For
the complimentary remarks made of the Bull
LErIN, and the genuine sympathy expressed in
our behalf, our kind Mobile friends have our
| warmest thanks. Their conduct in this mat
| ter is in such contrast with the Camp street
contemporaries that it is worthy of note; b
seizare u the New Orleans Bulletin osc.
The New Orleans BULLETIN, which, since
its origin few months ago, has done splen-
did service in denouncing the ru6ians and
rogues who are destroying New Orleans, has
incurred the enmity of the Radical authorities.
Kellogg Il Co. have left nothing undone to ac-
complish its overthrow. The State Auditor
sues it for telling the truth. B fore venal
judge and per6dious jury, such as are always
found to serve the purposes of the New Or
leans Williams, the truth will be held libel.
The Chief Of Police affects desire to fight
the editors. The emasculated English press
turn the cold shoulder upon it, but still
the BULLETIN has steadily pushed its
way, and has been cheered by the true work
ing men of New Orleans. It has the sympa-
thy of every white man in Louisiana, except
those who have sold themselves to Pinchback
for plate Of soup, or those who hope to share
the plate Of soup with those who have sold
their honor to obtain it. The BULLETIN has
had the sympathy Of the white people, not
only of Louisiana, but OF all the South. In
the dirty and foul obscurlty Of New Orleans
politics it is the singls star which shines out
to the Southern States, and reminds them that
we have friends and allies still in Louisiana
who are struggling against an infamous usur-
patton.
This little journal has been seized by the
minions Of Plnchback we say of Pinchback,
because Louisiana and New Orleans are at the
feet of Pinchback. An effort is made to give
the seizure an appearance OF being simply
recovery by its owner of the type upon which
the Journal is printed. II this we're true why
was the seizure made after midnight, and on
Sunday morning? Isit the law OF Louisiana that
civil process in simple ease ofdetinue, invol.
wing the price of few pounds Of type, worth
fifty cents pound can be made at midnight
and on Sunday? A regiment OF police make
the seizure. The form, just ready for the
press, is locked up in the police Jail. Every
incident of the affair proves that the claimant
acted with the purpose to prevent the issuance
Of the Sunday edition--that edition which is
always read by the entire New Orleans reading
population. Singular to say, the only journal
which denounces the outrage is the French
Bee. The English papers do not utter word
Of rebuke
We hope that the people of New Orleans
will sustain the BULLETIN. If no one is to
represent New Orleans except trimming
press which seeks to destroy the only national
party which can redeem the State-if no one
is to preside over its commercial councils ex-
cept Radicals like Oglesby-the sooner the
white people Of the South who pour their
wealth into the Crescent City know the fact
the better. We do not believe that the white
people of New Orleans will permit the only
Journal which speaks the truth, without fear
of the negro rulers who lord it over them, to
be suppressed. Mobile Register, 22d inst.

In oar New Orleans specials of Saturday
evening it was stated that the type belonging
to the old Herald establishment, with which
the New Orleans BULLETIN was printed, was
sold by the sheriff that day and bought by
the judgment creditor. Thomas Houlihaa
and that Houlihan having no use for
the type would leave it where it was. It
seems that Houlihan was not quite so accom-
modating as he might have been, for when
the outside forms of the BULLETIN were on
a handcart, Ealf an hour after midnight,
on the way to some other Office where
the press work is usually done, two detective
police officers seized the forms and carried
them to the First Precinct Station. The de-
tectives fe | back on CAPT. Flanagan, of that
station, from whom they had received In
structions to make the seizure; Capt Flana-
gen fell back on Judge Macarthur OF the
First Municipal (criminaD Court, and on
Gen. Badger, the Superintendent of Police |
from whom he received instructions to
seize the type. Judge Macarthur and |
General Badger fell back on the great Hou-
Than, who had bought the type, but did not |
want to use it. But this same inflated and |
conceited individual, who was perhaps |
Frenchman from Cork, took upon himself the |
Of the whole matter, and de-
clared that he would not take $4,000 for the
type which was then lodged in cell Nc. Of
tie First Precinct Station. 81 .-'F
How Judge Macarthur of o criminal court I
and the police who are in double sense not
civil officers, came to be mixed up in Houli-
hans petty spite, we do not quite understand.
Captain Flanagan is too good a man to lend
himself to any scheme for gagging the press,
and General Badger, though the BULLETIN has
poured shot and shell into his ranks is too
gallant soldier to vent any mean spite upon
sA
We happen to know several of the gentle
men connected with the editorial staff of the
BULLETIN. They differ from us in this, that
though we do not care o +" continental" for
politicians Of any stripe, they live and move
and have their being in the impulses of men
and principles Of the extreme Democratic per-
suasion. These BuILErIH gentlemen are our
personal friends, and would give the editor of
he Graphic ga clean bill Of health as openly
hostile to the small-potato politicians who at
;empt to control public affairs nowadays.
What renders that seizure, under the cir
more dispicable is the fact that
Ifter the type was sold by the sheriff, Houll.
IAN was informed three several times that the
property was ready to be delivered to him. He
waited until the last hour and then, by what
Inspiration we cannot understand, prevailed
lpon the judge of criminal court and the
,olice who attend to nothing but criminal bus
ness, to make q seizure that he knew would
interrupt the publication of the paper. But
We are coming now to point that all will APP
,reciate. In New Orleans, among the journal
SITS, there are no petty jealousies such as e1ist
