OUR HOME GUARDS.

| On our recent return home on the
Bart. Able, we were forcibly struck
with the strange, but continually oc.
curing incident that as some one
high in Grants confidence and on his
pap roll, was being unearthed from
his cess pool of corruption, that yet
the bad work of these bad men still
goes bravely on. AS the wires flash
to us the bloated corruption of the
head Of the war Office, our Packet
backs from her New Orleans moor
ings, turns bow down stream and in
a few minutes is safely landed at the
Barracks where a pile of baggage,
sufficient for three divisions of the
French army, is awaiting Shipment.
With this baggage, immense in as
sortment, immense in weight and va
ried from a hotel range to spring
bed, were company of U. S. soldiers
81 in number, also awaiting trans
portation, all of which were duely ia
ken on board, and passed up on Mon
day for the quiet little village of
Coushatta, in Red River PARISH
And readers, though ere now you are
used to see US record these warlike
movements here in time of profound
peace, instead of heralding their biv
ouacs on the Rio Grande and our
frontiers where they are always need
ed, still we are sure you will not be
unconcerned when we tell you that
all this is now done in this particular
instance as protection and a safe
guard to one of Louisiana's loyalfsts
and Senatorial carpet baggers, who
wants to 60 home. True it is that
no harm would befall his honor, but
then Boss Packard and Mr.. Kellogg
must show their influence with the
best Government and put it to at
least $4,000 expense, to see Mr..
Twitchell safe at home. He is true
one to them, and for him and his
sake, the government expenses must
be piled, and damn the expenses as
they bear on us. This little incident
we at present only narrate to mark
time with their past infamies and
the future line they have mapped out
to keep up fresh and alive their old
game OF giving uspeace' They have
but one policy, the one that thus far
has paved their way to power and
corruption, and to that they vet
ling with bloody shirt faith, and we
must prepare to meet its ever way
ngs, and strive to wipe out the last
links in its bloody trail.
