GRANTS LITTLE GAME.
The Veto n Bid for the Third Term-MOr-
ton Outgenera led and ConkIing Left
Out in the Cold.

Washington Dispatch of May to N. Y. Herald
Whatever there was of mystery in the
veto of the late Senate currency bill il
solved in the important revelation thai
Gen. Grant is a candidate for another Presi
Dental term, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. We have the informa
ton from a trustworthy source that all his
nominations Of any consequence. and all his
confidential conferences with Senators, are
directed to the Republican Presidential
nomination of 1876; that the veto was a
flank movement upon Morton and Logan
and their imitation party of the West and
South; that Morton realizes the fact that
the veto has killed him as a Presidential
asplrant, and that, if he has not for a week
or more gone to the capital, it is because he
is arranging his plans to {" head off" Gen.
Grant, as John Minor Bolts in his day head
ed off Capt. Tyler.
Between Morton and Logan we may look
for a new party plan of operations, South
and West, which will split the Republican
party into fragments and leave Gen. Grant
with only the support of the Eastern con-
tractionists and NOR ey lenders to support
him for the succession. We understand
furthermore, that, while Senator Morton sits
in his room, like Marius among the ruins of
Carthage, our aspiring Buckingham of New
York, Senator Conkling, though consenting
to the inevitable in consenting to withhold
his claims upon the Republican party as "a
Presidential candidate for 1876, in Difference
to the wishes of Gen. Grant, is nevertheless
"a deeply disappointed man. How can he be
otherwise, when but a brief mouth ago he
was inspired with the delightful thought
that he was the favOrite of the President for
the succession, aud that as Gen. jackson,
from his second term, cast his mantle over
the shoulders OF Martin Van Buren, as his
Amounted successor, 50 would Gen. Grant, III
1876, cast his martial cloak over the broad
shoulders Of Roscoe Conklings
All the political mysteries at Washington,
connected with the movements of the Adj
ministration and the Republican leaders in
Congress, are cleared up with the simple
announcement of the fact that Gen. Grant
is a candidate for another Presidential term.
Apply this tombstone to any otherwise i'll
eXplicable proceeding at the Capitol or the
White House, and we at once what it
means. II Is even said that Gen. Graut per
mitted New Hampshire and Connecticut to
be lost to the Republicans in the recent cleo
tions, in order to impress the all Important
fact upon the party that it can do nothing
without him. The people of the country
may be assured that Gen. Grant Is resolved
upon another term, and they will have a
landmark from which they may ut any time
discover he bearings of any political move
ment in any part of the country-it is for OF
against Gen. Grant.

I" Sic SemHer Tyrannis."
Editors New Orleans Bulletin


Kellogg has the andacity to say to the
people of New Orleans that they will not
be permitted to defend their lives and
property, aud that no patroling by citizens
will be allowed. This Knave, this Liar,
who thus attempts to lord it over the white
people of Louisiana, this monstrosity and
political fraud knows, in his cowardly
heart, that, if the Federal protection was
Withdrawn, he would not dare to remain
one hour on the soil of Louisiana, and that
everything pertaining to his reign "would
instantly dissolve, and leave not rack
behind"
This mockery of a government has existed
too long; this "cutpurse too long held
his sway. Ours be the task to prick the
bubble-show how weak tyrants are, and
by what threads our people are held in
bondage.
Grant did not dare to attempt in Texas
the game played in Louisiana. We suffer be-
cause ne do not act. We let dare not. wait
upon woald.
The rotten concern politely called the de
fdcto Government o. Louisiana can be
brushed away as easily and quickly as
cObweb. The United States cannot afford
another revolution. 1t is now known abroad
as an imposition and a frand, not the legi-
innate offspring of liberty, but a bastard.
Then, fcllow-citizens, be not inundated
ny this imported and impOtent de facto. o.:
and if his myrmidons dare to in ertere with
you, give them such lesson as will not be
lost, to freemen, for all time to come.

New ORLEANS, March 26, 1874.
(" Hon. Chas. Clinton:
Sir-During the session Of the Legsla
ture l brought you a letter from Mr.. Gui
chard chairman of the Committee to in
vestigate the accounts of the Committee on
Contingent Expenses for the sessions Of
1872 and 1879 that I had been appointed
clerk for said committee. l did said work
faithfully and laboriously. and had true
report been published, in accordance
with my labors, it would have been an
entirely different one from the one
as published in the last days journal, which,
by-the-by, never was presented to the House
or passed by it during the session. l am in
pos ,ession of the book and all the papers.
From them can prove enormous frauds, and
point out the particular ones. as committed
by each and every one connected with them.
Among other matters, l will mention that
you paid parties the 80 per cent. after the
decision of the District Court against the
legality of the same, and other facts, that
you, as Auditor, should have prevented, and
which were your duties to do sO-unless in
terest prompted you in the other direc-
ton. The House voted me pay for
clerk on the within committee, mentioned
by resolution many such have been voted
out of the contingent fund, as in each legis-
lative assembly they have perfect right to
dispose of this contingent fund as they
please. You refuse to pay me mine. Others
Won have paid, as know and can substan-
tate by affidavits of the sundry parties who
were the recipients of them.
1t is useless for me to attempt to do any
thing here, or as a Republican, to create
scandal in the Democratic papers; but /
will tell you, sir, what intend to do, unless
get my well-earned salary, upon which my
family relies for support. l will collect t*e
facts, together with rdlid proofs and forward
them to the Hon. Matt Carpenter, U. S. Sen
ator in Washington, and let him see how,
with all the. pretenses of this Administration
for Reform the State of Louisiana is still
being robbed by those who should guard her

perhaps, good may result to the State if not
to me. Sir, reside at No. Is Robertson

ALARMED.
"The Thief Doth Fear Each
Bush an Officer"
State-HOuse and Armories
Guarded.

The recent unmistakable evidences OF
restiveness on the part Of the people have
sent chill of horror through the veins OF
the Usurper and his motley crew. They
have listened to the ominous mutterings of
popular discomfort with trembling knees
and chattering teeth, and, while Kellogg
has attempted to bully the people by an as
sumption of braggadociO and buster, he
has really become alarmed lest the people
should forget, for a moment, that they live
under military despotism, and. rising in
their might, hurl him and his despicablc
retainers into the oblivion whence they
came, and into which they SO justly deserve
to be relocated.
The publication of long. ingeniously
wOrded statement, in which he falsely alleges
that there has been no increase of crime
since his Jail delivery, and that all things
are lovely and prosperous, is one evidence
Of his trepidation, and the excuses he makes
for the exercise Of executive clemency, are
pnerile in the extreme. When every citizen
feels that his life is in his own hands ; when
those arm themselves for self-defense, who
never armed before when ladies refuse to
occupy residences in the populous portion
of the city, unless they are protected by
gentlemen or private watchmen; when peo-
pie are constantly garroted and robbed in
broad daylight; when burglars not only
rob but fire residences to conceal evidences
of crime; when all these things form the
topics of conversation in all circles and the
police force are unable to check the carniva
of crime, the manifesto of an Executive who
represents nothing but Federal power, Fed
eral bayonets, fraud and usurpation, is
scarcely calculated to quiet apprehension or
restore confidence.
We are informed that such is the fear
which has seized upon the guilty soul Of
the de facto, that he causes sixteen armed
men to guard the State-House every night.
to prevent a coup detat which he is con-
stantly fearing. Longstreet has received
orders to look well to the armores, and
has them well guarded against sudden
assault. Indeed, if any lesson of the war
was more useful than another to the ex-
Confederate General, it was the lesson he
received at Knoxville. It taught him eau
ton, and he now firmly believes that an
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure.

THE TEGARDEN HOTEL. - Everybody
knows Col. J. .. Nixon, and when we an
nounce the fact that he has opened the
above hotel at Mississippi City, it will be
sufficient to attract thither visitors who may
favor that delightful watering-place. In
addition to all the attractions of a first class
house, with fine sea bathing, fishing, ETC.,
the Colonel has near him most eligible
spot for those who may desire to engage IN
the pastime Of man shooting. The hotel il
provided with stretchers, graveyard is
hard by, and minister and physician are
within call. Besides, there is no Judge
Chandler and no Sheriff Saucier about. All
Is serene and lovely, and the duelist may
revel in delight.

Stanton, Vt, been dumb, without any ex-
plicable cause Two Sundays ago, however,
he entered the sitting room of his house and
saluted his family with cheerful good

He has conversed as well as ever since that.
He says that just as he spoke Sunday, he

A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

The Perpetrators Brought to Grief.
One of the most soul-harrowing, hair.
raising outrages with which our commu-
nifty has in this season Of outrages been
shocked, was pepetrated in the streets in
broad day light yesterday. 1t is not known
whether the two men, both Sicilians, en-
tered on the deed with the determination OF
kidnapping. but certain it is that when the
crowd attracted by the loud cries rushed to
the scene tie two men with the two innO-
cent vctims-neither more than year old
held close by the feet, with their heads
down almost touching the ground, were
rapidly hurrying away, and would, no
doubt, have escaped with their victims, had
not Deputy Sheriff Vankirk appeared on
the scene, bravely attacked and captured
them.
The chickens wore let go and the two men
were locked up charged with violating the
law against cruelty to animals by carrying
poultry with their heads down.
