siana were not the notoriously unscru-
pulous wretch that he is, the Republi.
cans who appear in his behalf would bo
in a less humiliating position, worth
less as his credentials are. But the
story Of plundercd louisiana has been
given TO the world in all its sickening
details, and is familiar to every news
paper reader There is no part of that
story in which the name OF this carpet
bag adventurer does not appear in a
discreditablc light A leech that fas
tened itself upon the State in the be-
ginning Of its trials, he is the last to
drop of, though gorged with the spoil
Of his victim. As a Federal officer, as
