WHITE I.EAGUE-KNIGHTS.

The city, the past week, presented an ami
mated appearance Strangers, who had bee,
impressed unfavorably by manufactured re-
ports of the lawlessness Of the Southern e.e
ment, represented to be so rampant here, de-
parted agreeably surprised to find security
safety and protection.
The secret of this was, to them, mystery.
The terrible White Leaguers were ever present
to their inlaginations, and never meeting with
citizens armed with pistol and bowie-knile,
never seeing any ferocious rebel numbering a
harmless negro, or scalping Radical, tneil
previous opinions gradually gave way, and
they concluded that there had been some
exaggeration as to the character of our popula.
ton.
Was it possible to see that the White
Leaguers could be mild hammered gentlemen
An introduction, personal acquaintance
dispelled the mite. They were received by
members of the League, entertained by them
and protected by them, not as an armed body,
but as citizens, representing every branch Of
business, members of all charitable institu-
tons and even Knights Templar, high in the
order of masonry.
The municipal authorities were powerless
to protect them. The whole police power is
the hands of the Governor-no orders to
the police to keep the peace, to arres: Offend
crs OF the law, could emanate from the city
authorities. There was no such thing as per-
sonal security before the 14th Of September
last. An uprising for protection becamea ne
cessity. The result is known. The armed
hosts Of the usurper fed at the first onset,
and peace and quiet has reigned supreme
since, in spite OF the police.
The White League is not political associ-
alton. 1t was formed to defend personal rights;
it will continue to act SO long as the necessity
exists. 1t was the dreaded power Of this
band of citizens which rendered life secure
and which looked to the personal welfare of
strangers who honored us with their presence.
They became acquainted with large numbers
of the White League order they saw them
in professions, on the streets, at balls, club
houses, race course and theaters, and lodges
of their own order. We doubt if a score of
our stranger friends found or s:w Kellogg
We doubt if any courtesy of the
smallest kind was extended to them by the
authorities. We have heard of none.
The White League Association is composed
Of our best citizens. feace, prosperity, per-
sonal security to all is the only object Of the
order and we can tell all strangers that under
similar provocations in any city in the Union,
an organization of like character would spring
into existence.

DURELL'S REWARD.

The melancholy fate of this INSCRIPTIONS
partisan and corrupt judge carries with it q
moral which his associates, Kellogg, Packard
and other Radical office-holders, who still
weigh heavily upon this plundered commu-
nifty, will do well to "read, mark and in
wardIy digest After all that he has done
"for the party after issuing his midnight
order, and thereby robbing the people of
Louisiana Of the government of their
choice, this wretched tool OF the usurper
soon found out that the coveted prize for
which he had prostituted his high Office, was
not forthcoming, and that the very men for
whose benefit he had draggled the judicial
ermine into the mire were among the first to
abandon him to the peltings of the
pitiless storm. Like King Lear, he
realized how sharper than serpent's
tooth it is to have thankless children-for his
illegitimate otfsprings they are, the whole
corrupt pack whose hungry fangs he has SO
powerfully helped to fasten upon us. And
now, weak, and weary, and friendless, the
arch-conspirator sinks back like whipped
dog into the dishonored obscurity of private
life, with ''none SO poor to do him reverence"
But that sleepless Nemesis which has finally
overtaken Durell will soon close its resistless
fingers around the Threats of his fellow crimi-
mails, Packard, who acted the part of Mephis-
topheles to this judicial Faust, and Kellogg,
into whose dead political carcass he breathcd
a kind OF galvanic life. The day is approach
ing the dread hour is at hand when these
twin satraps will be thoroughly investigated,
hauled over the Goals and branded with red
hot irons.
Them indeed, will that incompatible trio
cry with unntterable sorrow for lodge in
some distant wilderness, where public opin-
ion is unheard, and capias bearing officers OF
the law cease to trouble. In the meanwhile
let them re I'd their own Fate, and anticipate
their future reward by meditating upon the
decline and fall OF their late accomplice and
tool, Durell.

JOHN MCCULLOUGH.

Last evening the engagement Of this dis
tinguished tragedian was brought to a close
at the Varieties Theater, and he leaves us this
morning for far off California, where he may
find more gold, perhaps, but where he cannot
find more appreciative friends or ardent adj
mirers. Mr.. McCullough's success in New
Orleans furnishes conspicuous illustration
OF genuine merit triumphing over obstacles
of character that would have daunted less
courageous gentleman.
He came among us at time when the
drama CT every day life was so absorbing as to
render fat and insipid the average dramas of
the stage, and when the awful tragedy enacted
on the l4th Of September by a whole people
had for the time banished from the minds of
men all thoughts OF the theater. Into such
community he came unheralded by ostenta-
tious posters or extravagant puts, and steadily
worked his way into the respect and admir.-
ton Of the people whom he hbosed so con-
scientiously to please by characterizations,
which for real artistic merit and tragic power,
have rarely been excelled IN this community.
He is An artist i'll every proper sense of the
word, and his careful representations give
evidence that he is student as we'll. His
grandest character, in our opinion, is Virgin.
ius, and we are pleased that be should have
selected it as the last in which to appear before
a New Orleans audience, for last impressions
are no less important than first, and seeing him
first and last in Virginius, our recollections
must necessarily be delightful.
We commend Mr. Mccullough TO our Cali
fornia friends as gentleman worthy of their
regard and as an actor who dignifes his pro-
tesssion.
