iestic Hood, it is the cheek OF tne
Bulletin in its apologies for, and de-
fence of the Southern carpet-bag-
gers who are the main cause OF all
the disturbances and troubles which
have agitated the South since the
close Of the war. To the credit Of
the country be it said that no other
paper Of any respectable pretensions
has yet had the temerity or effrontery
to endorse or even palliate the in
famies of the Kellogg Government
Of Louisiana; and it is only exercls-
ing toward fellow mortal that rea-
sonable degree Of charity which
should characterize all our actions in
life, to premise that even the Bulletin
editor is only induced to pursue his
present lamentably shameless course
by a wholesome fear of federal in
reference with his Custom House
hash.
There is no class Of bipeds in the
known world who are entitled to as
little respect or consideration as the
Southern carpet-baggers. Naturally
cowardly in all their instincts, they
woited uhtil n brayer set Of men by
superior numbers and more merciless
weapons of war, had reduced the
people of the South to humility and
despair, when they crept down there,
like sneaking grave robbers, ana
flched and stole all that was left
from the rayages of war; wheedlad
the ignorant negroes into giving
them countenance and character;-
secured federal appointments from q
reeklesss partisan Administration
through the stealings from which
they, have bought niger votes
enough to be elected Legislators,
Governors and congressman, and
to-day are held in power only by
barefaced fraud and federal bayonets,
For the benefit Of the Bulletin we
herewith produce Brick Pomeroy's
picture of q carpet-bagger. The
picture is true to life and ought to be
SO indelibly photographed on the Bal-
JetSn editors conscience that he
would blush for shame when he
hereafter remembers that he has
been caught in the nefarious trick o.
apologizing and defending the pestl'
