reminded Grant that he had prom.

Gibson, "the Secretary of War knows

"the order has not been obeyed, and
they deny in New Orleans even that
it has been received" Said General
Grant: II cannot understand that.
I made the order as peremptory as

the surprise Of the country, he went
further in friendship toward the
South than Mr.. Tilden could have
dared to do. He and his friends
promise local self.government to the
Southern States and material aid in

has verified the utterance of his let

his inaugural as far as possible at

He is making large sacrifices to help
the South, and he has right to ask
reciprocal sacrifices on the part OF
the South to strengthen him in his
policy. 1t is not to be expected that

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF LOU
ISIANA.
The State Government being now
complete in all its branches, and in
the full performance Of all it's func.
tlons, it becomes the duty Of the
people of Louisiana, to promptly dis
charge their pecuniary obligations to
it, in order that all just claims
against it may be punctually met
To the ordinary motives inducing
the payment of taxes, is now added
that of evincing, by such payment,
confidence in the strength and sta
bility Of that Government, and just
appreciation Of the fact that it is the
one chosen by the people.
The evidence already received on
this point is entirely satisfactory,
and confidently expect a continu-
ance of the same patriotic action
throughout the State. The people
of Louisiana may rest confidently as
snred that the Government, OF which
they have chosen me the executive
head, will not be imperilei or i'm
paired by any compromise Of their
rights.
The Government, being now a tx-
ed fact, desire to publicly aeknowl-
edge the services Of, and to thank, on
behalf of the people of Louisiana, tho
patriotic men VINO, on the Gh .'ay IL

shall seek OCCASION to make manifest
the feeling of the people on this sui
