" Fetch Him In,

Mr.. Greeley has never been accused of
extravaganza in dress. One morning,
some years ago, habited in his usual
quaint style, be was leaning over the
counter in the Tribune office eating an
apple, when an Englishman entered,
who had that morning arrived by
steamer, and who it turned out, was
connected with the London Times, and
had come to arrange some business.
" Fellow, do you work here p'' he asked
of Mr.. Greeley. " Yes, sir" " Is Mr..
Greeley in2" Yes, sir, C After a

stammered confused apologies to the

Two very highly esteemed citizens
and brothers, the Messrs, Ellison, Of
this city, have departed this life during
the week which closes to-day. Mr.. VIM.
Perrine Ellison, the elder OF the two
brothers, died at the beginning OF the
week, and was followed yesterday by
his brother, Joseph Ellison. Both gen.
tlemen were well known and highly
regarded in this community for their
many virtues. They were gentlemen Of
great energy, and had been largely en-
gagged In business. Mr.. Joseph Ellison,
the younger OF the brothers, was espe-
cially active, popular and patriotic in
NIL public and private enterprises. He
possessed in remarkable degree those
qualities which win the esteem and
confidence OF the people.

|ject, and we refer to his remarks as con-
elusive evidence Of the fact that the
sober-minded and, in a political sense,
usually Indifferent classes Of the COM
munity, as well as the warlike masses
of our population, are OF one mind In
respect to the duty which rests upon
them at this trying hour, and fully
realize that this duty must be per-
formed at any and all hazards.
It is far from our purpose to indulge
In buster and empty menace. We can
state, In language as temperate as plain,
the precise condition In which we stand.
The maintenance Of the Nichols gov
eminent in all of its branches--execu-
tive, legislative and judicial-is abso-
lutely essential to the salvation OF the
material interests of Louisiana. Any
attempt to overthrow it would involve a
violation of those rights for the protec-
ton OF which free governments are in
stituted, and would plunge this State
into anarchy and chaos. Such condi-
ton OF affairs, supplemented by the
Eul0 Ol dill LllSu auu uSut paul BoF6Iu-
ment, would be infinitely less tolerable
than war. It Is evident, therefore, that,
leaving out Of consideration all
sentiment and principle, the law
of self-preservation alone would COM
pei US to resist to the death any
and every attempt to impose upon us a
government as contemplate for its
weakness as it is odious for its moral
rottenness. Such resistance the people
of Louisiana are willing and prepared
to make, and it Is we'll that the fact
should be universally known. We are
ready to accept Gov. Hayes as President,
because we have been driven into q
condition of comparative indifference
In respect to national issues but we will
never tolerate such q CHASTITY fraud as
the so-called Packard government. no
matter what power may seek to install it.
We have government which satisfies
us, and We intend to uphold it.

THE TOO SENSITIVE PITKIN.

In the terrible access Of wrath which
possessed the graceful form and seeth
ed, like the crater Of Vesuvius, beneath
the blonde browning Of the noble brow
of our once gentle Pitkin, when he gave
to the world the magnificent and crush
ing card, published in our morning edi-
ltIon, he evidently forgot or lost sight
sof the moral of Esop's fable Of poor
dog Tray. When Pitkin became the
intimate associate and confederate Of
Kellogg in the largest plot OF assassina-
ton ever concocted since Guy Fawkes
filled the cellar Of Parliament House
with barrels Of gunpowder to blow
up the Commons Of England, he
ought, in his comprehensive views of
things, to have apprehended and pre-
pared for such suspicious and fmputa-
tions as were conveyed to the Cincin-
natl paper. Such forecast and prepare
tion would have given greater calmness
sand dignity to his REPUTATION. He ought
ito have remembered that, besides the
, grand assassination of the State OF
Louisiana by his friend and partner
Pitt, there was another incident in the
assassination line with which that indi-
svidual's name was not entirely disasso-
ciated. We refer to the most atrocious IL
mot the only case Of avowed and con-
fessed political assassination that has
occurred in this city during the last ten
years. :.
We refer to the assassination of Bour-
donnais by Newton, in August, 1874
Newton was then in the employ Of KEEL
logg. He was retained to guard KEEL
logg's person, and the only qualifica-
tion he presented for this position was
his murderousness. He had murdered
four persons during his life. and had not
reached middle age. When he killed
Bourdonnais, in one of the most public
places in New Orleans. during White
League procession, he proclaimed that
he was on hunt for White Leaguers,
and with his hands reekiug with the
blood OF Bourdonnais, he ran up st.
Charles street, asking for more victims.
When the movement OF the people on
the 14th OF September, 1874, against the
st. Louis Hotel, occurred. and Kellogg g
papers and records were captured, the
evidence was discovered that Newton
was In the employ Of Kellogg. the stubs
81 the checks in payment for his SER
Yices were found, and when, afterwards,
