New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-04-03

nle0, ana tho statement made on behalf
OF the White Leaguers that strangers
coming even to Shreveport were never
ostracised, even if they were Republican
IN opinion. When the courteous Colonel
zacharie went toeVashington he says:
BY communication and mixing in the
society OF Republicans with whom 1 had
determined most to associate in order to
ascertain the ruling sentiment, as it was
plain their predOminance in both houses
precluded any idea OF relief for us save
through their Intervention, etc.
We would like to know if these Repub-
llcans were treated as those at home are
known to be by the Democratic constitu-
ents of Colonel Zacharie? Were these Re-
publicans informed that evident and
vlndictive spirit has held sway in Natchi-
toches for several months" as testified by
MI. Puckette, and that such 'hostility is
not personal, but instigated purely by
selfish motives, intrenched behind a feel
ing of political prescription for opinions
sake, which the same witness says shas
been sedulously cultivated by extreme
men in my parish"
We apprehend that Colonel Zacharie
made no such statement and no such
admission. We infer that he treated these
Republicans, whose society he sought as
gentlemen equally entitled with himself
to the courtesies and respect of social in
tercourse. 1t is true this association is re-
ported to his constituents as almost piece
OF political strategy which enabled Colonel
Zacharie ''to ascertain the ruling senti-
ment;" and as Republican ''predomi-
nance" in Congress rendered such informa-
ton essential to Democratic success, this
reads like an apology to his intolerant
friends at home, and only vindicates the
offense OF Republican association as de-
sire to obtain information of their pur-
poses. This Democratic emissary almost
disparages himself as spy in the camp
of his political adversary. Excluding,
however, this incident, We assume that
the public abroad has been told by the
Democratic press and partisans that lib
eral justice is done to the Republican
citizens of Louisiana. The New York |
Tribune and New York World have vouch- |
ed for this both in correspondence and
and editorial.
By accident some of the most promi-
nent Republicans in the nation have had |
an opportunity to see for themselves the
measures of justice extended to them.
Mr.. Wheeler will have seen himself and
his proposition of adjustment treated with
virulent disrespect, both by the press and
leaders of the White League.
The eminent Republican Senators at
present in the city disavow any di-
plomatic intent or authority in visiting
Mexico. 1t was published here that they
constituted railroad ring, and had been
deputed to adjust the border troubles, in
and derogation of the American
who has been at his post con-
lucting the discussion between the two

selves, that if this excursion, fraught with

gentleman propose communication and
mixing with Mexicans' Sin order to ascer
ain the ruling sentiment on acquisition
nd annexation will have far more effect to |
prevent the excursion than the fear of
elbow fever at Vera Cruz.
We find, however, in the Bulletin ex-
'ressions of positive contempt for one OF
be most distinguished and influential
aen in America. Some ''young man by
be name of Guppy" makes an editorial
office as follows:
