MURDERED LOUISIANA!
+ As we foreshadowed, nay stated ~
ours last, the last turn ofthe screw
has been I,onisiana's fate, port ion
and Nispens ation, and again she lies
crushed, prostrabegand murdered by
the crowning wrong which has come
to put its cap-stone on the pyranid
Of private and public iniquity. The
President of the United States, bloa-
ted and gangreened by continued de-
bauchery-lured, charmed and con
trolled by Cabinet courtesan, whose
base womanly instincts are vipered
against JUS, nesers once paused to ,! re- e
fleet or Investigate, our true, situation,
but with vengeance in his depraved
composition and blasphemy on his
'accursed lips, decided against US, and
once more we are down! Never for a
single moment did it occur to him
even to pause and appeal from Philip
drunk to Philip sober, but sans so'tcas
and with malice aforethought and in
decent haste did he hurl the thun-
ders of his harem against us and mis-
perfumed chambers of'power were
converted into Louisiana's Tour de
Nesle, and thus once more are we at
the tender mercies of Laundelet Will
liams, who assumes command of the
Army and Navy ofthe United States,
subject to orders from his wife So
called, Grants Chef Of Staff for this
fight aatt5 -. egs zs.5 to 1asg >
Sad and desperate, indeed, must be
the ends and tribulations;yet in store
for us, and still more narrowing the
patience,and christian meekness we
must assume to keep even pace with
the bayonet tread of the Presidential
tyrant, the tool Of Radical demago-
CUES and the burning disgrace to the
once honored White House! But for
a ,lepraved public sentiment at the
North against us, famed and famed
here at home by the, worst of the hui
man race, these things could not al
ways exist, and the day of our deliv-
erance must soon come, but of this
we have so often written, that our
pen palsies at the bare REPETITION OF
the itifaInies. Robbery, frauds of all
grades in Louisiana, by these enc
mics Of our people, bolstered, en-
couraged and voted in by the negro
race, and compromising felony at
Washington, plant their roots in a
vitiated political conscience, have
darkened the better judgment of the
popular mind, and thus the record
turns and blackens against u.s.
What matters it that Senator Carpen-
ter, prophet-like, sees and foretells
that these continued wrongs would
Head to anarchy and bloodshed," and
warns his countrymen, and particu-
larry his. party, against their contin:
uance; what matters it that the Ma
tional Democracy have given t b e
same warning time and again, but all
to, no avail, the Republican party
down South must be endorsed, back
ed up and kept in power, though the
very stars fall and the last white man
be denuded of his last rights. So it
is, thus it has been and thus it will
ever be, so long as Grant, with the
present Radical party at his back, and
Mrs. Williams at his side, are per-
mitted to rule the destinies of our
country. We offer but little hopes,
outside of another effort in November,
to our people as a panacea to our
wrongs, and this we conjure them to
look to and grasp as a last dying
chance,a and may God protect the
rlgnt! -t- .s...{ .r,. p, ..f,
