There is no Justice no recourse except
what is hoped to be obtained from the
Northern people, who do not know now

of trade to the West and North
owing to want of confidence here,
whereby capital is locked up or driven
away, and business paralyzed according

high assessments and general cussedness
of a lot Of bully-ragging under strappers
holding minor offices.
For all the complaints that have been
made, what does Louisiana get2 Lieu
tenant General 2. Ii. Sheridan vino
comes soaring down here like blood
hound, seeking whom he may devour.
This great soldier telegraphs to the Pres
ident series ofas unmitigated, tirst-class,
sauare-toed lies Us it has ever been our
misfortune to encounter; proved TO be
such by all the representatives OF respect
ability in New Orleans. At meeting
of the Northern and Western men in this
city to denounce Sheridan's messages rs
untrue. soldier stated that he had
lost his leg fighting with Sheridan, and
if what was transpiring here was a speci-
men of the American union and liberty
he had fought to maintain, his leg had
gone for worse than nothing, and that he
thought instead of decorating soldiers
graves we had better write fool on the
head stones.
Sheridan out lies Kellogg himself, and
it is an undisputed fact that he is con-
tinually struggling with the truth. His
own Senators give him that reputation,
although theirs is none the best.
An old physician and noncombatant
in politics, informs me that it is conf
mon saying in Kellogg's native State,
that man is as great 4 liar as Pitt kel-
! logg. General De Trobrand pronounced
! him a liar Yesterday, and it is well known
here that the Congressional committee
left very much Disguised with Kellogg,
for his continuous appeals to them to
act As arbitrators between him and Gov.
McEnery as to which was elected Gov
ernor in 1872. He stated, in one of his
communications to the committee, that if
l.. l,l hot Ia. 70
the Office no power on earth could COM
pei him to retain the Gubernatorial
choir: and when the committee had Sc
cured the written agreement of all the
Conservatives on the State ticket to
abide by their decision, Kellogg backed
square down from his proposition, and
after the committee had left for Wash
inston he writes letter agreeing to sub
init the case to their decision.
President Grant is succeeding rapidly
in breaking up the Republican party
and his Lieutenant General is n valuable
assistant The earpet-bag government Il
Louisiana is not Republican; it is not
Democratic; it is Radicalism in its
worst form, and unless the Republican
party ceases to uphold the monstroSity
that party will be short lived.
Judge Trimble one of the best men i'll
the State, informs me that he is done
with the party us it exists here, and |
know many good Republicans here who
do not affiliate with the Kellogg faction,
but denounce them unreservcdly.
4 soldier OF the 2Sth Wisconsin cX-
presses himself Us follows in regard To
Kcllogg's party, that refused him regis
tration because he would not vote their
ticket AS a Republican and soldier
of the United States army, my Sympa-
thies were Mt first with Republicans, but
truth and fidelity to the government
under which | was born, and in which |
was educated, and for which | thought
for four wears | was fighting in the
armies of the United States, now COM
pels me to renounce them utterly
Like uaman, they should be devoted to
the vengeance Of the government and
party whose confidence they have abused
and whose prestige they have destroyed.
I claim to be as good a Republican as
any in the party, worked and voted for
Grant in his first campaign, and along
with thousands of Republicans, re-
pudiate his action IN this louisiana busl-
ness, except to assist in consigning him
TO obseurity if this outrage is persisted in.
There appears to be II wrong impress
sion North in relation to the White
League, that they are secret order SINH |
lar to the Ku-Klux that were said to
exist in some of the Southern States |
several years ago, and that they are bent
on the determination of the colored race
Mr.. Phelps, member OF the Congress
siunal Committee, expressed himself to
the correspondent OF the New York
Tribune to the effect that the Ku Klux
idea entertained of the White League had
been exploded by the Committee in
their examination Of witnesses, and ]
think they will report accordingly.
Organize all the intelligent men of
Ohio county, exceptinga few, who object
% the name of white league, against
counter organization of bad men, armed
bv a usurping Governor, then take in all
the colored men who apply for admission
There are many colored men in the
White League here) and you have the
White League rs it exists here. Then
send for Phil. Sheridan, and he will de-
clare you "bandtti' who ought to be shot
like dogs.
People here think that the Commit
tee will report that the organization
Of the House by the Conservatives was
Illegal; that the interference by the
troops was a great wrong; that the keI-
logg House was Illegally organized; and
that the action of the Returning Board
Ii 4 Il i
Ny opinion is that if Congress will
give this committee, or any other fair
committee, full power to arbitratc this
entire business, that they will settle it all
in ten days, and that the people will
acquicsce in their decision. On the other
hand tney do not propose giving up the
contest nor admitting that their oppon-
ents are elected when they know they
were defeated.
