mendous blow, the fetters have been
stricken from her limbs. 49, 49, "a. -. .
For this one day, If Never Again, She
Breathes the air OF Liberty.
Her prosecutors are scattered; the seurvy

"The Pcayune congratulates the noble
State, in which for nearly half century
its destinies have been cast. If at any
time in the past, it has seemed ladking in
warmth of sympathy, it has been because
we differed in opinion as to the surest
method of achieving the commonly de-
sired end. We may do so again, but
with the freedom, the emancipation of
our people, with the gallant assertion of
peoples rights and the glorious manifes-
tstions of our brethren's courage, the
P;cavune's heart beats in unison, and
swelIs in honest, unaffected pride. We
conoratulate New Orleans as the author
of the grand blow which has freed our
State, We congratulate Louisiana on
the long breath of freedom she inspires
to-day. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that our citizens should enforce
order, and extend protection to all
neaceable citizens. There are always
on occasions like the present, disorderly
and turbulent persons, who little think
of the great responsibility they incur by
abusing or i'll treating those for whom
they entertain any personal animosIty.
All peaceable persons should be protect
ed and it is the duty of every citizen to
be a police officer, with that view. The
cause of our people and the interests Of
As great a commercial city as New Orleans
is. are too sacred to be forgotten. Under
the new regime, citizens, without
regard to race, color, or previous cOmdi
ton, are entitled to protection and fall
freedom. The government is determined
to maintain order and confidence, and
New Orleans will soon be the, most pros
porous and happy city Of the South
Peace Once More.
The barrcsdes have been torn down
and the street cars have resumed their
