1.-THE following card from Gov. War
moth was published in the New Orleans
Picayune Of Friday morning, and to
its publication is attributed the diff
Guilty that has been set forth in our dis
patches.l i
To the Manager of the Bulletin:
No. So ST.. LOUIS STREET, New Or
LEANS, La, Dec. 24.-When handed
you my letter which you published
yesterday morning, in reply to your
recommendation that ''star cars
should be placed on the streets for col
ored people, your editor, Mr.. Jewell,
told me you would ruin me if | pub
lished that letter. l did not see very
well just how you would accomplish
your purpose so theoretically expressed,
but your issue Of this morning reveals
plainly your plan. Your purpose to
do it by lying unmitigated lying.
Ny letter was respectful protest
against what considered your injudi-
cious advice as to the course that
should be pursued toward our colored
citizens, which protest is sustained by
the opinions Of Gov. McEnery, Gen.
Ogden, Mr.. MARI, Mr.. Waltz, and Mr..
Grover, as published in this mornings
Picayune, all substantially confirming
nv views. Because I had thought
proper to disagree with you. and have
expressed opinions which are consistent
with those have entertained for years,
you seek to ''ruin me" as you threat
ened, by violent personal assaults and
falsehood.
I do not seek to avoid the responibil-
ity which attaches to me for any of my
official acts. No one is more alive to
the mistakes l made or regrets them
more than do. The organization Of
the metropolitan police of this city was
deemed necessity for the protection
of the State governT ent. which, with
the lives of officials at that time, was
threatened by the mob under the lead
ership of Mr.. Jewell and such in1am-
mable men as he.
The comforting Of the printing on the
Republican has always been a sore
spot on Mr.. JEWELS skin, since he,
who was Senator at the time, proposed
to vote for the printing bill if $4,000
worth Of printing under it should be
given to the Commercial Bulletin, Of
which he was editor, and which PROPOSE
ton was declined.
The statement that ever had any
connection With the ''Ship Island Canal
Swindle." the slaughter house monopo-

many, with the insinuation that | re.
ceived or owned any interest in any Of
them, except what paid for, is abso.
lutely, unequivocally and VIGOROUSLY
false. The only interest | ever had in
any of them was some shares | pur'
chased in the slaughter-house compa
ny, for which | paid $29.l7 share,
and sold, after keeping them eight
months, for $50. never ewned ::
share until long after the Company wa
, established. As for the ''Chattanoog'
. Railroad Swindle,' as it is called by tn
Bulletin, remember we'll that MIR
Jewell was an ardent supporter Q
. that measure, in the Commercial Bul
letin, on the street, and in the opening

there were any corrupt agencies en-
