WHAT PEOPLE THINK ON THE LOU
ISIANA QUESTION.
SIGNIFICANT LETTERS.

We give below letter from very promi-
nent gentleman largely connected with insu-
rance interests in the North. From its tenor
will be seen how the Louisiana matter is
viewed by unbiased minds:
| JANUARY 8, 1875.
| I can not help congratulating you all in
New Orleans for the admirable forbearance
shown under such highhanded outrages l
should not congratulate you on this course
did not feel that it was the only one you
could pursue and avoid what appears to me
| the trap laid for you all by the scoundrels
who have controlled your State for the past
few years. | fully believe all they wanted was
to get up some pretense to treat you all as
"rebels, and by some trick get the whole ma
| ton to believe you so, but, think, they have
missed their mark, and the nation is thorough
ly against them. Such an interference by
the military authorities with the Legislature,
l believe, has not occurred in any country
claiming to live under free institutions since
Charles lost his head for a similar offense.
Allow me to hope that your trouble and
oppression will soon be over, and in all SYM
pathy and admiration believe me most
Faithfully yours,
S. E. FRYER.
To the above we add that of Congressman
have won for him high position in the poll
cal world. The letter was addressed to one of
our prominent Carondelet street merchants
FoRTY-TH1ED CONGRESS,
United States House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, D c., Jan. II, 1875.
Dear Sr-Your favor received. The sub
committee will make a fair report, and it is
believed will answer the charge of Grant and
his henchman "PhiL" You make one state
ment that l have not noted in the proof as
being heard by the committee. 1t is an impor-
tant one and I write you promptly SO that
if the records verify it that you may cause it
to be done, to-wit: That when parties are con-
victed pardon from Kellogg follows.
The heroism of our friends in Louisiana, in
patience will become historic from its sub
lime devotedness. It is great moral truth
for constitutional freedom, manifesting cour-
age, fortitude and devotion high above the
Spartan, or that which has made William
Tells name the shibboleth of every freeman. |
God preserve your people in it.
Let but the entire people reach the ballot
box in 1876 and all is saved But this you
understand andeappreciate These be critical
times. Let us not fire upon Sumter this |
time. Let there be no mistakes Let us be |
right, and God and the justice of our cause |
will ensure the end
Yours truly.
w. C. WAREHOUSE.
The following is an extract from letter re-
ceived by prominent merchant Of this city, |
from his brother residing in Monroe City, |
Missouri, who was formerly strong Repub-
lican and Grant man:
have read carefully all the New Orleans
papers you sent
think the prospect f or the South is i'm
proving think you got the inside track of
the Administration in hiring Sheridan to
writing those letters. presume he was paid
by the Democrats; if not, he is great fool
TO work for nothing.
His " banditti" letter is turning all the Re.
publicans in this neighborhood against him,
