"sOME MORE DEVELOPMENTS"

Der, among other papers purloined were
letters from General Butler and Hon.
Matt Carpenter, regarding fees for SER
vices rendered as lawyers in the contested
election cases of Louisiana before the SUI
preme Court. No one questioned the
genuineness of the letters, or the pro-
priety Of writing them. It did not bias
the action of either of those gentlemen as
members of Congress certainly not that
Of Mr.. Carpenter, who was the strongest
advocate in the Senate for new election,
upon the ground that frauds had been
committed in the canvass of 1872. Those
letters we're first made public by the New
New York Tribune; they excited the Gu
rious for an hour, and, despite the harp
ings OF the White League press, are indis-
tinctly remembered and no longer cared
for. So much for the Tribune sensation.
The New Orleans Bulletin also published
said letters. as did other papers, and "the
publication i'll the Bulletin" the Bulletin of
yesterday evening says, ''has produced a
terrible commotion." The commotion is
not general, but the Tribune will "see
how we apples swim"
The Bulletins latest sensation, this time
not aided by the Tribune, is 'seme more
Developments, and these, as published
yesterday evening, are manufactured out
of whole cloth, and that of the thinnest
material. L. publishes what are said
to be letters and kilograms from
somebody anonymous to somebody
else more anonymous. The first
concoction is dated Washington, Octo-
Der IA. 1874, and addressed to 'W. E.
Cameron" giving a blank street and
blank number Of street in Philadelphia.
It tells the fictitious Cameron, who for
the best reasons in the world can not be
son of Senator Cameron, that the writer
will send $4,000, payable through A. J.
Drexel, on Casey's account, furnished by
West. The dispatch is as ineligible as
Herald personal, and is signed Morton
The Bulletin says it is from Senator
Morton. 1. says so before it has been
asked to prove it. and without the advice
and opinion Of any OF the volunteer
White League lawyers who furnish the
opinion department Of the Bulletin with
gratuitous brilliants.
The second copy Of fabrication is
dated blouse Of Representatives. Wash
ington, December -. 1872 following in
the cart-before-the-hor sequence Of be.
ing nearly year older than the first
mares nest. This letter is addressed to
man never before heard of, 'Hon. 4. P.
Norton" which fictitious gentleman is,
probably, White League voter. for no
residence is given. 1t is conundrum,
and We give it up entire:
DEAR SIR-Do you desire that should
open negotiations with Casey and W.
for Louisiana campaign!
BabcOck says Harrington had better act
for US. What do you think Of it.: 1t pre-
vents publicity. Yours, etc.
J. J. Mop.
Of this thing the Bulletin says, ''the J. J.
Mop mentioned is supposed to be McPher.
son, chief clerk Of the House of Represen-
tatiyes." It also has no hesitation in say.
ing tina: ''Hon. A. P. Morton" is Senator
Morton. Where all are untruthful one
statement is about as valuable as another:
but no man outside of an institution en-.
dowed for the education of youths of weak
mind, except he be Bulletin editor, can
expect an intelligent public to believe that
these names and initials can in any way
be identified with Senator Oliver T. Nor.
ton, or Hon. Edward Mcpherson, clerk
of the House.
The third note is dated February ~,
1874, from the House Of Representatives,
and addressed to William Harrington; it
is signed (the Bulletin says mentioned, in.
stead of signed, as if man mentioned his
name at the bottom of letter. by the
same J. J. McP., and says:
Senator -, $4,000 for Senatorial uses.
This makes SIT 800 advanced by Casey tor
Kellogg government. with what was paid
to Attorney General and Morton. There is
money in Louisiana, and Grant will stick
to Casey. Call to day.
For explanation Of the English and
Irish Of this we must once more fall back
on the Bulletin. which says the Harrington
mentioned is doubtless the notorious
safe burglar. We are not SO well &C.
quainted with safe burglars as those who
captured documents from tile State
House. but j: is possible ". II. is the |
the very man.
AS clincher the Bulletin says:
We can assure our readers that the fore.
going are genuine copies Of the letters and |
telegram which were shown to us, and are |
now in our possession.
The poor Bulletin has been imposed |
upon. Let the genuine copies Of fraudu-
lent originals be exposed in some place
'or the public to see before The fac s;mile
II the Tribune arrives. and before the
great commotion" commences. The sen.
'ational effort is extremely weak; more
eeble than the speck Of war with Spain.
or which troops are here. As for the
heading ''1orc Developments" only the
Of Bulletin ears is seen.
Further developments will be seen when
he sage editor crawis partly into his hole.
