THE HERALD'S LATEST MUNCHAU
SEN,

The New York Herald is doubtless A YER
remarkable specimen of contemporary Jour
nalism, and the Conservatives of Louisian
are indebted to it for many powerful articl
in defense of the position they have take1
and-the Heratds special Washington's CORE
spondent's dispatch of the 2lst inst to the con
trary Observation-Disclosures continue to main
tain to the bitter end. That dispatch, the items
whereof were evidently derived from Attorne,
General Williams's Office speaks of a pre-
tended compromise" offered by the men,
bers of the only legal House recognized bv US.
looking to the acknowledgment of Kellogg and
Penn as the Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor of this State by the representatives of
both political parties in Louisiana.
1t is needless to say to any one at all con-
versant with the facts that this is malicious
invention, foolish device of men who either
know absolutely nothing of what is going on
here, or what is more likely, bold fabrication
OF Landaulet Williams to give little back
bone to the Radical caucus whose extraordi-
nary programme has lately astonished the
country at large.
Every man living here in Louisiana knows
full well that no such propositions as the rec
ognition OF Kellogg as Governor, of that jail
bird Vigers as Clerk Of the House, and of the
so-called 'Senate" presided over by the negro
barber Antoine, by the Conservative party
was ever made, or that if made it would elicit
anything else but universal scorn and con-
tempt in this community.
That Kellogg would cheerfully consent to |
the elimination of Antoine, has been long ago
understood, but as it would require the con-
sent of two parties to carry out the scheme,
'ren # accepted by the Conservatives, and as
Antoine is stubbornly unwilling to sacrifice
himself for the benefit of his white scalawag
md carpet-bag 'brudders' of the Radical
persuasion, we would like to know what the
4eraIds especial Washington correspondent
$ going to do about it.
AS far as the 'White Leaguers, and other
louisiana "banditti are concerned, we feel /.
uthorized to say that they never made any /
uch proposals, and that they would most {
osltively and unequivocally repudia.e any I
argaln looking to recognition, either ex- y
ressed or implied, of the present Infamous S
nd bayonet-supported usurpation. The
lera'ds especial Washington correspondent
Ill have to try it again whenever he wants to L
sensation. His latest attempt in
lat direction is "most intolerable, and not n
be endured il
The following extract, from the editorial u
'lumns OF the Herald of the same date, is
'obably the best comment that could be o.
