The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-09-18
A Splendid Exhibition OF Character.

The people OF the South are without doubt
the most patient people on the face of the
globe A popular revolution in Paris is always
attended by the most revolving scenes of re-
tributive justice as well as OF brutal I'M ustee.
Monuments are over.brown, archbishops are
slaughtered in cold blood, dwellings are
burned by in 'uriated women, and the cutters
run with gore. In England we have seen
Jeffeys dragged through the streets with a
rope about his neck, and susrected criminals
Ike F.vkes and Oates hurried to the block
with short shritt.
In the coup detats Of the Napoleons We
have seen the highest magEates incarcerateG
and executed without trial and the populace
shot down numerically with grape and can
inter. In Spain we see to-day the adherents
Of Serrano ana Of Don Carlos alternately mas
sacred upon the streets of the towns and vii
hges which pass successfully under the rule
q either combatant. All over the world the
Wise Of a people against tyrants has been
marked with those hideous scenes which dis
grace humanity.
In New Orleans the other day we saw
spectacle in marked contrast TO this universal
history of mankind. people who had been
sppressed and plundered for ten years, and
who. having at last selected their own rulers,
have been doomed for two years longer to see
asurp9s occupying the seats Of government
and things, rise in their majesty and over
throw the despotism; the armed support rs Of
he tyranny are dispersed, but beyond the
stack upon the civil troops, no one is in jured
IN person or property.
Even when the most infamous of the OPP
pressors lay wounded under the charge of the
eitisens, he is carefully removed to the hos
pital, and his wounds attended to. The fly
ing police are not shot down, but simply ar
rested. disrobed and dismissed to private
Ne. Not a store is sacked, not negro is
no1aated not an outrage is committed Oh
public property. In few hours after the
hattie is over, ladies and children reappear
1poa Canal rect, the police are actively on
duty. perfect order reigns, and nothing is left
to mark great revolution except a few
trembling fugitives behind the grim walls Of
he Custom House.
No effort was made to intercept Kelloggs
fight t. the Custom-House. But a single
motion was offered to bayOnet despicable
tyrant Lcngstreet was permitted to sneak
awsy from his police station unmolested
Newton, who stabbed a citizen in cold blood
because he was Lacquer, was not taken from
the Jail and hanged. The Republican news
paper office WAS not sacked, nor did the mob
hang it's vile editor, who. from an impecnniOus
seedy schoolmaster has become by plumber
possessed of an immense fortune. No such
deeds of violence occurred This was an
American, Anglo-Saxon revolution, led and
prosecuted by the descendants OF the men
who threw the tea overheard in Boston har-
bor and who drove Gov. Dinwiddie to his
shipping in James River. 1t was marked
With justice and moderation. There was
nothing of the madness Of that New York
mob which, resenting the military draft, look
vengeance upon the colored race by burning
their Notwithstanding OF that retaliatory
indignation which recently marked the fury of
Plymouth Church as it aimed its blows at a
single individual. The people Of New Or
Iaaas have shown the world how signally
they can crush a foreign tyranny, and at the
