The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-01-05

A remarkable instance of the propagation
of criminals was related by DR.. Harris, Of
New York, at recent meeting of the State
Charities Aid Association. In small village
in county on the Upper Hudson. some sew
enty years ago, young girl named "Marga-
ret was set adrift on the casual charity of the
inhabitants. She became the mother of a
long race of criminals and paupers, and her
progeny has cursed the country ever since.
The county records show two hundred of her
descendants who have been criminals. In
one single generation of her unhappy line
there were twenty children Of these three
died in infancy, and seventeen sur
vived to maturity. Of the seventeen,
nine served in the State prisons for
high crimes an aggregate term of fifty years,
while the others were the frequent inmates of
jails and penitentiaries and almshouses! Of
the nine hundred descendants, through six
generations, from this unhappy girl who was
left on the village streets and abandoned in
her childhood, a great number have been
idiots, imbeciles, drunkards, lunatics, pau
pers and prostitutes, and two hundred of the
more vigorous are on record as criminals.
This neglected little child has thus cost the
county authorities, in the effects she has
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in the expense and care of criminals and
paupers. besides the untold damage she has
inflicted on property and public morals.

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
Governor McEnery Counsels Patience and
Peace.

Yesterday, Gov. John McEnery, the de
jure Governor Of the State, fearing that the
outrageous actions of the de tacto Governor in
Selling the State-House and by filling the
streets with United States troops, would ex-
asperate the people beyond the point of en-
durance, issued the following appeal counsel
ing patience and forbearance.
This appeal no doubt had great effect in
quoting popular excitement and preventing
sudden ebullitions Of feeling on the part of
individuals. The masses seem to appreciate
the absolute necessity for maintaining dig
nified and manly attitude, and we do not be-
ieve that the Radicals will succeed in their
plan of precipitating difficulty. The fol-
lowing is the Governors appeal:
New ORLEANS Jan. 4, 1874.
Iappeal to the people to be calm and pa
tient. Any public disturb will thwart
our plans and lose us the struggle. Conduct
yourselves, therefore, with calmness and dig
nifty, and all will yet be well.
JNo. McENERY.

SEIZURE OF. THE STAT
HOUSE.
Durell's Midnight Order Supplemented.
The Capitol in Possession Of KellOgg's
Standing Army, and the United
States Troops in Easy
ssWhiStle Call"

When Durell issued his midnight orde
under cover of which Kellogg and Packard
used United States troops to seize and hole
possession of the State-House, it was though
that never again in the United States coult
the infamy be re-enacted.
| The most violent Radicals in the North ani
elsewhere condemned the act, and we O
Louisiana thought that never again would thu
humiliating spectacle be witnessed in this
State. But Kellogg, it seems, is anxious te
achieve the same Immortality of infamy
which was won by Durell, and SO upon the
mere pretext that the Conservatives
meditated violence and force, he calls
out the standing army of the State, seizes
the State-House, barricades the doors and
windows and not content with these precau-
tons, actually called upon General Emory for
troops to stand by and see MIN by force Of
arms inaugurate an illegal body and perpetu.
ate foul wrong and outrage upon the people
of Louisiana, and upon republican institutions
everywhere.
Gen. Emory with Gen. Sheridan, the Cuban
tourist, sitting at his right hand, issues an
order for all the troops to respond to the
whistle of the usurper.
The following is Kellogg's order for the
police and militia to seize the State-House:

are likely to assemble for the aforesaid un-
lawful purposes on Monday, the 18th day Of
January next, Major General James Long
will order such part Of the State Militia as
they may have in readiness to assemble at the
State House, in New Orleans, on the 4th day
of January, 1875, to aid the civil authorities
in suppressing all and any such threatened
violence and supporting the law.
II. In order to prevent the aforesaid vio-
lence and resistance ito the laws the State

Ne,cs, of the LIST inst, says:
1t is worthy Of notice, as an evidence of
the fact that Galveston is daily growing in
favor as cotton market in sections which
have heretofore been welded to New Orleans

recently arrived from Marshall, Jefferson

trading elsewhere. A prominent merchant of

as follows:
