FRIEND DEMOCRAT
About the bluest, sickest, most DIS
gusted people on the top Of Co.'s
green earth, were the citizens of NV
Orleans, on Thursday evening, WHEN
it became known that
GOV. NC Emery HAD SURRENDERED
to General Emory, without the shal
ow of a hope that no good result
would come from the glorious stru,,
gle of Monday. The State Houss
Arsenal, and other State baildin g
were turned over to Brevet Brig. Gea.

Cavalry to be held by him ''untl
such time as the State and city gov
eminent can be organized" Tb,
city government was left untouched
for the time being, and Tom Boyla +
the new chief Of police, was cont l.
ued on duty, in charge of the ord'r
and quiet of the city ''until REGULAR. :

ported and believed that the lega
State government would at least
SHOW FIGHT
and inform General Emory that if he
wanted to overthrow them he must
get more troops first. In less than
ten hours ten thousand Thoroughly
armed and equipped men wouldhave
answered General Emory's call and
General Emory would have been COM
PEELED to wait for reinforcements.-
This would have delayed matters at
least sixty days, and in the mean
time public sentiment at the North,
would almost certainly havesupport-
ed our movement. Grant might have
clustered but it is extremely doubt
full whether he would lave dared to
put down twenty thousand men face
to face and give the orler for them
to slaughter each othe, and all to
support a man who his been pro-
nounced, by the best mn in the Re-
publican party, fraud and usurper

This went. down with SINE, but when
the dispatch came from Washington,
that the Kellogg government must be

which may lead to something bright
in the future. 1t h:pens that Casey,
Packard, Dibble, Kellogg and other
real 'insurgents'' arc right here on
the spot, they saw that little display
on Monday and Tuesday,, and they
know that it was 40 mob. Further
more they want to pcify the people
a little, the idea Of icing compelled
to keep United Stats soldiers always
in view, to protecthem from an out
ragged people, is priaps just a little
disagreeable, aneso they are willing
to yield something for the sake of
their own safet,and comfort. This
is the way it isalked on the streets,
and the peoplewait with Impotence
