signal victory they had ACHE we'd over the usur-

taken, marked with the careful avoidance of

pie and government of the United States that

they must restore the state to the charge of its
elected officers, save it from ruin, and protect

conservator of the peace, and take care that the
| state received no detriment by convincing the
| country by our orderly conduct that we are
only enCeavoriDg to secure our Just rights with
out infringing on the rights or safety Of Others.
| PRoCLAMATIoH OF MAYOR WIFI.
During the DAY Mayor Wilt issued the fol-
| lowing proclamation, addressed to the citizens
| of New Orleans .'It becomes nv duty to con-
! gratnlate you upon the restoration OF the duly
! elected and Tiehdul state authorities. After
| enduring TOR nearly two years the control of
! usurpers, their act OF tyranny have at length
| called for resistance. This was instantaneous,
universal and entirely successful, not single
usurping officer being now in the exercise of his
| functions within the limits of this city. Tue
! employment OF force became necessity. We
deplore the resulting loss Of life, while we honor
the memory of the noble men who fell in de-
fence of the rights dear to all who desire to be
free. Upon this signal and most honorable re-
covery OF your political and civil rights let me
/ advise extreme moderation.
Resume your aTocations as coon dismissed
| from the or ganized ranks. Use the utmost for
| bearance toward those who hold political opin-
| ions ayerse TO yours. Interfere with no peace
| able assembly of your fellow citizens of any race
| or color. Use ali your influence to preserve
peace and to maintain the supremacy of the la ".
| Prove 10 the world that you can be as forbear-
| ing 10 those who have abused and usurped au-
| thorlty as you were patient and long suffering
uDCer their tyranny. Seek no revenge for past
| injuries, but leave your fallen enemies to the
toTtures of their own conscience and to the last
ing infamy which their acts hare wrought tor
| them"
