perate straits to which the Radicals have bee,
reduced nothing SO surely points to thei
impending doom the reckless mendacit,
resorted to by their leaders and by their paid re
tanners. Whenever any cause requires tn,
stimulus of falsehood, it is sure sign O
decay.
Like the besotted wretch who lives only
upon the draughts of poison administered
from day to day, the Radical party is depend,
ent for its existence now upon such fierce
falsehoods, such cunning and ingenious
lies as are sent over the wires from
the South by its paid and characterless
fetalners, the carpet-baggers and scalawags,
who see with shudderings the signs of the
defeat OF that faction by whose blind fanati-
cism and hatred of the South they have been
enabled to revel in luxury and fatten upon
the remnants of the fortunes Of the Southern
people These reflections were induced by
the perusal of the following audacious decep-
ton, practiced upon the Washington RepuJli-
ran by some scurvy rascal in Kellogg's in
terest:
Especial to the Republican,
New ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-THE BULLETIN. in
a double-leaded editorial this morning, urges
the Democrats of the West and South to pre-
pare for civil war. 1t calls upon the Confed-
crate soldiers of the South to continue to put
aside arms and munitions-this time for a
prolonged campaign. The passage of the
Civil Rights bill and Grants Arkansas mes
sage Justify this preparation.
1t denounces the Hoar committee for its

condemns the members of the Conservative
party who approved their action. delega-
Slon OF last-ditch Democrats have left for
washington, to endeavor to prevent the re-
cognition Of the Kellogg government by Con-
gress. The Immediate action of Congress
would stop all further factious opposition to
the State government, and spoil the game of
keeping the Louisiana controversy open for
the campaign of 1876.
10 call the statement in the above referring
to the BULLETINS editorial Of the 11th a
malignant lie, would only be q mild and
gentle way Of putting it, bat we prefer to be
blamed for mild expressions in English
Gather than to besforced TO employ the obiur-
gatory epithets and words of foreign tongues
There are expressions in other I'm
guages that would be much more ener-
getic and probably more suitable to the occa-
sion; but we will let the English words
answer, inadequate though they unquestion-
ably are.
To show how entirely without foundation
Che statement was and is, we will quote from
our article Of the 9Th, Of which the editorial
of the 18th was but an amplifcation and to
which attention was specially directed.
After calling upon the patriots of the North
to awaken to the fact that their liberties were
threatened, and calling upon them to make
ready for the struggle which was (aad isl in
our opinion imminent between the people Of
the North and Vest and the trained soldiers
of Grant, between the people of the States |
yet free and the conspirators against the Re-
public, we said
Gas for the South, she lies PROSTATE and |
bleeding at the feet of oppressive power, and
can only be a spectator of the stupendous
drama Of a new struggle for independence
and civil liberty. No resistance can be made
by us, and any which we might attempt would
only damage the cause of Northern patriots
without benefit to ourselves
Upon such basis was tho stupendous lie
sent to the Washington Republican built up,
and no doubt it was read by Williams glee-
fully to Grant and Morton as evidence Of the
character of the Southern
people, and as furnishing cause for stringent
legislation.
That the dispatch was utterly untrue made
no sort of difference to Grant, Williams Il Co.,
and the denial will probably be shown to the
President, if at all, when he has arisen from
the dinner table and is enabled to see in each
guest couple of bandits, and to fancy that
The golden circlet Of which he dreams,
and to gain which he stands ready to over
topple the Republic, or rather that half of it
which he has not already placed under the
gentle sway of the bayonet and the benignant ,,
rule of Sheridan, already presses his brow.
A careful reading of the dispatch, which 3
was sent just when and just where 1T would
10 the most good, will disclose its object in |,
is tail. The innocent suggestion that Con- I
yress should recognize Kellogg, and thereby I
settle the whole matter, and prevent he use 9
If Louisiana against the party in 1910, was :,

How admirably well :the fiunkeys of the
know how to pander to the Q
wishes Of their masters Upon such false ;
