, had looked for fairness, at least. It sent a
corps of able and reliable correspondents
+. through the South, and it knew that the
stories OF outrage and murder were, in large
: part, manufactured; that the people were not
only 'aw-abiding and peaceful, but extremely
anxious to secure governments that would
guarantee safety to life and property and to
bring order out of the political chaos that has
been wrought by the carpet Dagger, aided and
abetted by the Central Government.
Knowing this-knowing, too, what wicked
falsehoods have been persistently circulated
by paid emissaries of the Radical press, the
Times, in its issue Of the 30th ult., publishes
the following as a truthful account of the
l manner in which tho raop1a re Na,u
treated two gentlemen who came here from
the North:
| Murder OF Two College Graduates.
recent issue of the Nashua IN. H. Tele- |
graph gives the particulars of the alleged
murder in Louisiana of two graduates of Dart |
mouth College. These two men, it says, were |
| college mates one, A. b. Long, talented. |
strong hearted young man, graduated in 1859; |
the other, Frank W. Perkins, was still in col |
lege when the rebellion broke out, and at the |
first call for troops, enlisted and went with
the I'd Regiment to battle for his country He
was the first soldier Dartmouth sent to the
war When the war closed, Long, having
read law and been admitted to the bar, was in
New Orleans, and for time his friends at the
North heard Of him as justifying all the
bright promise of his college days. After
wards he was appointed to a judicial position
in the city.
Still later the news came that he had COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat in his
own Office. This report in time reached his
old friend Perkins, who by his ability and
integrity had come to be the agent of line
of steamships running between st. Louis and
New Orleans, and he went to New Orleans to
investigate the report Arriving there, he
learned that Long, instead of committing
suicide, had been murdered in cold blood by
a band of White Leaguers, to whom he had
become obnoxious by reason of some of his I
Judicial findings. 1t was also learned that no f
attempt had been made to discover his MUIR G
derers, and that the whole White League or .
ganization was glorying over this summary J
removal of hated Radical Upon learning Il
these facts, Perkins published a card Offering r
a reward OF $4,000 for the arrest and convic- u
ton OF those who had committed the murder.
and IN less than week he was hunted down b
and shot, and his corpse kicked into the street.
1t would be difficult to conceive how any
one uninspired by the father of lies could C
have invented such tissue of impossible p
alsehoods p
Major A. B. Long did come to New Orleans O.
md made many warm friends here. He was tt
appointed United States District Attorney, al
vas regarded as talented, genial, kind T
hearted gentleman, and when he rashly took W
lis own life in his private Office at the Custom X
House some time in 1871, his death was W
nourned by the entire community, who re- ia
ognized his ability and worth. The fact of
he suicide was established beyond the &C
aintest possibility Of a doubt. He cut his ar
hroat with razor which he carried from his in
odgings for the express purpose. nc
Capt. Frank Perkins came here Just after pa
le war, and went into business with his CT
rother, who is an esteemed citizen of New ex
