THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AGAIN.

The parties in charge of the Chicago
Tribune are blessed with very convenient
memories. In their issue Of the Sth Of
March, they spoke OF the New Orleans BuL
IErN, as ''tne organ Of the White League and
banditti which, during the January troubles,
ranked with reasonable utterances and adyo-
Gated assassination
This scurrilou5 and mendacious charge
was promptly met in The BUGIETIS OF the
l2.h, and its author was branded by us " as
a willtll and cowardly ctlumniator He now
rises to explain. and endeayors to crawl out
Of the disgracetul predicament in which he
has placed himself by saying that he 4" does
not know Of the article referred to, and that
the charge lie made was "probably
| that the New Orleans BULLETIN, like other
ultra organs III the South, had advocated the
use Of the knife ana pistol and had encour-
aged violence as a means of settling political
troubles. This modified version Of the
original SANDER uttered by the Chicago I'll
1l7'e man. We need scarcely say is as false
and malignant as the assassination calumny
he had the as urance to.deny
AS to the epithet of the 'sorean OF the White
League banditti, bestowed upon Us by this
voracious journalist, We are perfectly willing
to accept it. inasmUch as the people he calls
"banditti are gentlemen whose social status
and personal respectability have been adj
mitted by every member Of the Hoar Investi-
eating Committee, ana who would not feel
h0nored by any attiation with creatures
who 1--we by retailing Sheridans Munchaus-
enisms, aud firing the Northern heart
with assassination stories which they know
full well to be utterly and absurdly false
In refreshing contrast with its blood and
thunder denunciations OF White Leaguers
and Louisiana banditti, we find in the very
same issue Of the Chicago Tribune the follow
ing tirst-class notice OF the man Who of all
others is responsible for the bayonet order
which placed Kellogg in possession Of an
Office for which all the world knows he was
defeated by an overwhelming popular vote:

Drove true The number OF Mr.. Williams
au.r pas is only equaled by the number OF his y
,ttlclal acts and opinions. The most notable I

us failure IN the prosecution Of the Credit a
loblher suits. But we protest against Oh a
aiming Mr.. WllIlimss resignation at the 5
oSt o! sending him to Great Britain 4
There is only oae hypothesis on which We
ould agree to such an exchange. viz The
'rotter Of the British mission might induce
nm to resign, and the Senate might then re- p
use to confirm his new appointment. This G
ossible plan would be defeated, howeyc by Il
is appointment after the adjournment of the Il
enate. There are so many reasons, not ne d
essary to repeat why Mr.. Williams would be a
kelly to occasion trouble if accredited to the e!
curt OF 81. James that such aproiect should AZ
OF be entertained for moment. The ter Il
nl fitness of things torbids it. fl
