Charles Summers people must have
treated him with cruel injustice while he
lived, or are hypoeritical in their lamen-
tations over the loss the country has suf-
fered in his death Within the last
years of his life, he had been virtually
communicated from his party. His
former supportershad mathematical him
for supporting Greeley, and the Admins
tration had expelled him from the Chair
manship of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee. His friends were all gone
Not one to take his fortune by the arm.
And 60 along with him.

Will Not Win.

The white taxpayers of South Carroll
ma are about to commit the grave mistake
of raliying to the support OF United
States Senator Robertson, one of the adj
venturers who have brought trouble upon
that State, as their deliverer. Robert
son represents nobody but himself and
the little squad OF ofice-holders who
usurped the leadership of the negroes
when the home whites under the bad
influence of Gov. Perry and others of
Andy Johnsons' tools, obstinately stood
aloof We do not understand what is to
be gained by taking up with these
played-out adventures. If the tax-pay-
ers really want to bapish strife from the
State and restore it to peace and pros
perity, the part Of wisdom would be for
them to establish kind relations, and CO.
operation with the blacks, on a Reform
platform-such, for example, as the one
announced by Congressman Elliott.
The Southern whites ought to have
learned before now that played-out car
pet Dagger is weak specimen of humani-
ty-a poor stick-a foot out Of joint.

4 portion OF the Southern press is very
hard on Jos E. Johnston for something
that is said to be, or supposed to be, stated
therein, which is not very complimentary
to President Davis. This, we think, IS
all wrong. They are both good men
great men, They differed materially on
some questions, as men will differ.
Davis long since exposed Johnstons'
errors or supposed errors, and, while he
had the power, punished him for them.
1t is unfair now to refuse to Johnston the
only means in his power of setting himself
right before the people, of showing that
he was right by showing that Davis was
wrong. Liberty Herald
We know that considerable indigna-
ton has been caused by rumors that
Gen. Johnston has published book
re-opening controversies that ought to
have forever been silenced with the
war, and intended to indemnify himself
for alleged injustice done him by Mr.
Davis in the assignment of commands
But this Indignation is deeper than
it Is loud.
The Herald is in error in saying that
Mr.. Davis long since exposed Gen.
Johnston's errors" and therefore it is the
latters' turn now Nothing Mr.. Davis
has done can be construed into such action
unless it was the performance of his Ex-
ecutive functions in the matter of re-
moval from, and assignment to, commands
Amid a torrent Of abuse in which his
motives were misunderstood, and his con-
duct misrepresented during the war, he
remained silent, and has so remained ever
since.
During the war, Mr. Lincoln, on
the Union side, repeatedly made changes
of his Generals in command, setting
aside McCIelland, Pope, Hooker, Burn
side, ETC., ETC., and substituting other
in their places, but we have never heard
the causes and motives of such action
discussed since the war; or that the Off
GERS thus disposed of have resented the
conduct Of their superior as personal
grievance Gen McClelland has a great
many friends in the North, who regarded
him as the victim Of a wrong when Nj
Lincoln removed him after his defeat and
prccipitate retreat before Gen. Lee in
Virginia; but they would not have toler-
ated his publication Of book for the
purpose of ventillating his grievances.

a GRAND PROCESSION.

1t is our pleasure to announce that the sug'
gestion offered by the BULLETIN. has been
adopted by the Committee of Seventy, the
Democratic State and Parish Committees,
providing for grand procession of the white
people of New Orleans in honor of the grand
victory Just achieved in our State. All of the
clubs will turn out, and every citizen who
feels that his country has been redeemed will
join in the procession.
We suggest that on the line of march the
stores and residences should be Illuminated
in honor of the grand occasion that we are
called upon to celebrate. It has been many
years since our people have been called upon
to make public demonstration in honor Of
such glorious event as we are now called
upon to celebrate, and We hope the display
will be Of such chara Der as will make the
country feel that Loq INA is free and her
people are jubilant.. Let everybody turn out
on Saturday night.

e. JOIN ELLIS.

As the smoke clears away from the battle
field, and our eyes take in the extent of our
victory resting now on the vanquished, and
anon on the chiefs who have been in the thick
est Of the fgh-tthe smile Of gratitude and joy
overspreads the face of every true Louisianian
as he contemplates that true patriot and gal
liant soldier, E. John Ellis. His election to
Congress is hailed with general delight, for on
no man in this State could that honor have
been more worthily conferred In the darkest
hours we have passed through. he has ever
been vigilant and active, and his time, his
means, and his talents have been freely offered
to oil who have been sufferers by the acts of
malignant State and u S. officials
Whilst regretting that his duties at Wash
ington will deprive us Of the society Of such
noble and whole-souled gentleman, We will
have the satisfaction of knowing that our
cause will be in safe hands-confded to one
whose eloquence 'the applause Of listening
Senates will command" and whose gifts
whether displayed in the subtleies Of argn-
ment, or in the play of a rich and exuberant
Imagination will alike be recognized and APP
preciated, when E. John Ellis stands for
ward to depict our wrongs and defend our
RIGHTS

NO INTIMIDATION.

In its Sundays issue, November /, 1874,
the Republican has the following ''Let no
Republican tail to vote"
Tomorrow no colored man need stay
away from the polls. Ample provisions have
been made to protect every voter. The col
ored man who fails to vote is a coward and q
traitor. Let him not go home to his wife and
children tomorrow night and say he has failed
to vote for two years more Of freedom for her
and education for them. Colored women of
Louisiana see to it that those whom you love
and respect, continue to deserve your esteem
by asserting their manhood at the polls to-
morrow"
This is an admission that there could be no
intimidation by the whites towards colored
voters, for ample provision was made by
Grant, Packard and Kellogg. the army and
navy now in Louisiana, to protect the colored
veter-and if he did not vote the Radical
ticket, or not vote at all, it is because the col
ored man was disguised with Kellogg and his
usurpation, and would no longer uphold the
rascalities committed. Let Grant take note
Of this. and put it in his pipe and smoke it,
and withdraw his troops, both land and naval,
from Louisiana without delay.

A SUGGESTION

To the Editor of the N. o. Bulletin:
In our glorious hour of victory we must not
forget our dead of the. 14th September, 1874.
Thers-is nothing we can do which will be
so pleasing in the eyes Of those brave hearts
that fell in defense of the peoples rights as to
see that their families are protected from win
ters cold blasts, and otherwise provided for.
would suggest in furtherance of this OBJ
ject, that the Crescent City Relief Association
give grand gift concert in Exposition Hall
say Christmas Eve. Let the funds now IN
the treasury be offered as prizes to holders of
tickets to the concert
feel satisfied that every white citizen in
Louisiana will purchase ticket, and that the
association will realize not less than $50, 900
net as the result of this enterprise
would also suggest that the money OBJ
tanned from the people for the above object be
as soon as possible distributed to the parties
to whom it belongs, viz /: the families of our
departed braves.

WATCH THE RETURNING BOARD.

In compliance with the election law thu
Ret urning Board will convene in few days
in order to canvass and compile the election
returns of this State. Although the election
law ordains that the votes deposited in the
ballot boxes shall be counted at the polls,
and that any citizen, who may be present, can
witness the counting and see that proper re.
turns are made, no provision is made for any
supervision OF the Returning Board. If q
citizen has the right, and he undoubtedly has,
and should have without any legal permission
to watch the counting and tallying of the
votes at the ballot box, he should also have
the right to watch the proceedings OF the Re-
turning Board. If their intentions are honest
they cannot possibly have any objections to
this.
We want no "Star Chamber" process by
which the sovereign will OF the people, as
expressed by their votes at the ballot boxes,
may be set aside, and the mere dicta of the
Returning Board substituted therefor, without
any explanation or excuse whatever. If There
are any just grounds for rejecting any votes
the people should know them, and should
thoroughly understand the compilations made
We insist that the people shall be allowed
to select representatives to attend the
session Of the Returning Board and note their
proceedings. If no fraud is intended there is
no reason why q request Of this kind should
not be acceeded to promptly and unhesita-
tingly.

THE ENEMY's TACTICS.

Senator J. R. West left the city last evening
In the interest of Kellogg to meet Morton
and ten other Senators at Indianapolis, tt
consult on the political situation. The over
whelming and to some extent unexpected
disasters met by the Radicals in the late cleo
tons have produced confusion of plans nc
less than apprehensions of further and final
defeat in the campaign of 1876. So democrat.
lied, disheartened and COMPOUNDED are the
Republican chiefs that the council of leaders
is deemed necessity, not only to furnish
some plausible reasons for the disasters to
their discouraged followers, but it is deemed
necessary to reconstruct the political pro-
gramme Of the party to prevent the defeat
from becoming a rout. .5.-
The Senator. it is understood, will proceed
from indianapolis promptly to Washington to
lay before Grant the interior facts that under
lie the elections in Louisiana, and to ascertain
how far the President may be willing to use
the army and navy under Landaulet Williams
in sustaining Kellogg in the questionable
measures to which he may resort in his pres
ent political extremity. Apprehension is par
ticularly felt as to the action of the Demo-
cratic members of the General Assembly next
January in restoring to their seats and func-
tons the duly elected Senators who have by
by fraud and force been displaced by Kellogg.
They,apprehend that the people Of LOUISE
ana, knowing their rights in the premises,
will dare maintain the same in such form as
will win victory, unless some interlocutory
order from Durell, or some extra ministerial or
der by Williams, shall bring the Federal troops
again to the relief Of the usurper. We are
credibly informed that in day or two still
other emissaries will follow West, upon simi-

| The OpERA.-There was brilliant and
numerous, and we may even go SO far as to say,
most critical audience congregated tonight
at the Opera House to witness the opening of
that fashionable resort.
Verdi's celebrated "Trovatore was the bill
of fare, introducing portion of the very OK
cellent company engaged in Europe by Mr..
Placide Canonge.
We have not the happy faculty of pronouncing
after single hearing final Judgment upon
such finished artists as were introduced to US
last night but may safely assert that Mr..
Luigi Chelli, first tenor, and Mile. Vercken,
soprano Falcon, at once became favorites with
the vast majority Of the audience They are
both young and endowed by nature with mag
nifcent voices, and therefore could not fail to
capture the unanimous applause deservedly
bestowed upon them. Some of our friends
found fault with Mr.. Meric for not being
another Devoyod, but we think when they
hear again they will acknowledge that he is
an excellent singer and very experienced
actor. y
Mu0 40Ou1, Lf6 dznCeNH VI tuo evening,
displayed qualities which were fully appreci-
ated by the best judges. She belongs to the
great italian school, which is, after all, the
best one as far as style and method go, and
will very soon be recognized by all co',ois-
sslrs as an artist di primo carteAo.
N. Mamert and Mile. Sichel, who repre-
sented the "corps de ballet" on the occasion,
were also we'll received, and altogether things
went well. The late hour at which the per-
Torrance ended does not allow us to go into
particulars, but We shall hereafter devote o

Tomorrow the same opera will be re-
