Governor Penns residence, 2S6 st. Charles
street, was filed all the morning with
citizens congratulating him on the situation,
Messrs. Mari, Ellis, Beard, and others were
present. When the news of the surrender of the
police reached them, there was universal de-

Louisiana leaped from bondage into the full
strength and splendor of freedom. Borne down,

The The Picayane congratalsies the noble state
In which for nearly half century its destines
have been cast; If at any time in the past 1t
has seemed lacking in warmth and sympathy,
| it has been because we differed in opinion as TO
the wisest method of achieving the commonly
desi ed end. We may do so again, but with the
freedom, the emancipation of our people, with
til gallant assertion of the peoples rights and
courage. the Picayune's heart beats in
union and swells in honest affection
and pride. We congratulate New Orleans
which has freed the state. We con.
gratulate Louisiana on the long breath of free
importance that our citizens should enforce order
and extend protection to all peaceful citizens
There are always on occasions like the
who little think of the great responsibility they
incur by abusing or ill treating those for whom
peaceable persons should be protected, and ii is
the duty or every citizen TO be police officer.
With that view the cause of our people and the
interests of q great commercial city, as New Or
| leans is, are too sacred TO be forgotten. Under
the new regime every citizen, without regard to
and full freedom. The government is determined
| to maintain order and confidence, and New Or.
leans will soon be again the prosperous and
happy city of the South
