White League press the propriety of

is nothing that so beiittles the New Or

ECHOES PRoN ARRoxp.

We copy below an extract from pri-
vate letter written to gentleman Of this
city. The writer was Major General of
volunteers in the federal army during the
late war, and at one time had command
in this department. His war record was
brilliant one, and always conservative in
views and never radical, his opinion can
not but be entitled to great weight. Here
is what he says:
Within the past two weeks 1 have seen
in the REPUBLICAN some articles made up
of selections from the Democratic press of
Louisiana and Mississippi. They have been
copied quite extensively through the North,
and have brought forth editorial criticisms
Of character that would not encourage
our White League friends very much.
l have heard good deal of this White
League business, and can assure you there
is very deep feeling here on the subject.
A very prominent member of Congress
from this State (Ohio) told me he would
vote against appropriations of every char
acter for Louisiana until there was some
evidence of a decent feeling among the
white people toward their political oppon.
ents. If the White Leaguers think they
get any sympathy in the North, they are
greatly mistaken, even the Democracy criti-
cising them as set of stupid, blundering
fools

ing Spaniard was called from his bed and cruelty
murdered in cold blood by body of armed and
mounted men, claiming to belong to the so-called
White League of Caddo parish, on the false pre-.
text that he had been carrying arms to negroes.
Whereas these same men subsequently proceeded
to rob the widow and fatherless children of the
said Nunez of all the money and vaIuables they
possessed, leaving them in state of sickness and
utter restitution; and whereas such crimes are a
disgrace to the State community which toler.
ates them or permits them to 20 unpublished;
Now, therefore, !, William Pitt Kellogg, Cover

seem from the extracts that members Of
''our Oldest and best" families are liable
to these financial freaks and ''unfortu-

The distant public will, therefore, re-
member that all the poverty Of New Or

nor is all the defalcation perpetrated by
the appointees Of Republican admins
tration. Mankind is about the same in
all communities and in all parties. Dis
honest men win rob the government if
they have the opportunity, or, failing in
that, will put bank or brokers' shop
through in the same manner. It is the
duty of all persons and parties to make
no terms and grant no amnesty to in6delity
