A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.

Tho st. Louis Times, the Bourbon organ Of
Missouri, prints the following brutal and
cold-bloodel paragraph in q recent issue:
Mr.. ]. II. OoLEsuY was not compelled to resign tho
Presidency Of the Now Orleans Chamber Of COM
nerce. After hts extraordinary testimony n behalf VI
tho KEtIoau Government, he simply fou ID huoelf
in position from which tho common ciytllttes aud
courtesies Of Social Nfo were withdrawn. resident
and busiuess-nan for half century, ho awoko to tho
diacosery that 10 was without single acquaintance
among reputable businessmen, and lila bank-thnt
had BECOME famous o custodian Of commercial
wcalth-iound ttRef In 6tuRlo day without a
single deposition. Mr. OatEspr was as COM
p1esey a1ono ~ II ho had Hrcd In O desext.
1aoated and ignored Try tle frfenda lo had known for
A1ty years. tho terrible rebuto struck homo as none
other could, and lie resigned ha commercial louors
for fr1endless retirement. To MIXTURE like Mr.,
ooLrsn7a, such manifestation Of public dsapreoya}
was crushing In lts effect. uo lies tho point OF
ilecth.
Tho facts in this ease are substantially
these: Dir OaLEsuy has been n respectable
citizen and prominent business man of Now
Orleans for over fifty years. During MI that
time no taint has ever rested upon his moral
reputation or commercial honor. Ho was
summoned before tho Committee to testify,
and, while ho did not seek to justify AIr. KEEL.
Load or his Administration, when asked some
questions touching KELLooos relations to
tho business community, he spoke favorably
of them rather than stain his honor by lying.
Because he would not lie, he was ostracised
socially and commercially and driven into re-
tiromont and to his death-bed by mon who
contend there is no such thing in Louisiana
rs intimidation and coorciont And this is n
snnple Of Southern chivalry and honor
Could there bo a more notable exhibition OF
White-League hato and fendishness J? II tho
Conservatives Of Louisiana thus hound d
man to his death whoao honor has
been kept intact for fifty years be-
cause lo will not lie aud soil his honor to
suit thor partisan purposes, Gnu there DO any
more convincing proof TINT they themselves
hayo lied in their testimony? Tho ostracism
of aIr. 0o1EsnY is tho blackcst deed the Con-
Reryatires of Louisiana have yet committed,
and should bring upon them tho swift con-
demnation Of all high-minded aud truthful
mon. This is mntter which lies outside Of
politics. Iii personal outrage OF tho
gravest character Which will come home to
every one who has respect for truth and
honor, and 1t shows, as nothing olse could,
the fiendish hate and malevolonce of the
prostitute his honor in their behalf. A whole
lifetime Of labor for the interests Of his city
and his State, and reputation in politics, in
trade, md in society unspotted by single
disreputable net, count nothing as against
his refusal to lie. This is m objectionable
oIense.

npolis ho was disguste1 md mortified to find
that every Democrat in the Legislature, except

political antipodes Of Mr.. MCDONALD; not

spair, caused by tho reckless treachcry and
dishonesty Of the party, A1r. REso tells tho
whole story in print.
Tho fact is, tho Democratic platform OF In
diana, in 1871, WAS Il fraud and swinlle.
1t was concocted by DAN VOORHEES, Tor lis
own benefit. Tho party adopted it to go
before tho people, to catch the ignorant and
thoughtloss, but no politician in the party,
having the slightest self-respect, appeared or
intended to abide by it. Aressrs. 3IoDoxA1D
and KErn found Unnecessary 10 dselai,n rcspon-

then the party showed their contempt for

solate, weeps over tho result.

The carrot-baggers Of tho South are bring
ing every influence ut their command to bear
npon Congress to pass Inv which shall
forco upon the Federal Government tho u.s.
sumption Of tho liabilities Of the Freedman's
Bank. The number OF depositors is stated to
lsave been 70, 600, distributed all through tho
Southern States. These arc tho more intcl-
hgont and industrious Of tho colored popula-
ton, and their influence naturally commands
tho cooperation Of NIL tho negroes Of the
South md the politicians whom they elect to
Office. Public meetings have beon held in
several Of the large cities Of tho South favor
ing the Government assumption Of these
liabilities, and tho South Carolina
Legislature has formally memorialized
Congress to this end. RoBkn1soN, ono
OF tho United States Senators from that
State, in acknowledging the receipt Of the
memorial, says !: 1T consider that the M
tional Government Is under strong obliga-
ton to make good to dopoBitors all dohoien-
cies." h1r. KopEnTsoN is a Senator from q
State in Which the negroes are in majority,
or ho would probably never have made 30 ab-
gurd remark.
The fact is, TINT the Government is no
more under obligations to pay the depositors
In the Freedman's Bank than 1t is to pay
the depositors in tho Cook County National
Bank, which closed its doors day or two
ago. The National Banks are Nation
nal corporations, just as tho Freed
mans Bank was. The negroes Of
South Carolina say they believed that tho
deposits In tho Freedmans Bank were guarar-
teed by tho Government. We have no doubt
some Of them believed 1t. but it ia not tho
fact. Such belief was tho result Of tleir
ignorance in tue first place, and the decep-
tions praoticed upon it by rascally specula-
tors. But 1t would be wosse than folly to
throw the fruits Of this Ignorance upon tie
Government. It would DO precedent that
might lead to the most outrageous abuses In
tho future. II must not BE- contemplated
moment,
It will also be better that the negroes &C.
quiro GONE self-relianco. The natural reward
OF ignorance ia deception, loss, and suffering.
But the lesson in this case will have
haan lost II the Government assume the
liabilities Of the Frsedman's Bank. It ia
probable that some Of the negroes
have been !ed to believe by certain desjgning
politicians In the South TINT tha National
Government would care for their private con-
tracts as well az for their political and civil
rights. The Government has nothing to do
with their private affairs, and the sooner they

but there arc, nevertheless, some things ur,on
which many farmers aro yet laborng under
