ROOM FOR THE LEPER,"

Stay. dog. for thou shalt hear me-
day or two since u New Orleans paper con-
tanned the following:
Hon. VIM. p. Kellogg United States Senator
from Louisiana Is at the 1T. Charles.
We presume that this announcement refers
to the somewhat notorious rascal, w. p. KEEL
logg, who, during the carpetbag era, figured
conspicuously and disgraeefully in Louisiana
politics, If q system of spoliation, lawlessness
and yillainy of every stripe may be termed
politics. Il Now is this unconvicted rogue enti-
tied to the honor of being announced in New
Orleans as United States Senator from Lou
isiana ? Was he ever elected to that position
Of consideration and dignity2 Does he pos
sess single qualification to represent the
people of this State in the Senate There Is
not respectable citizen of Louisiana but will
answer nay to every one OF these questions.
The so-called Legislature which pretended to
elect Kellogg was lawless and revolutionary
body, composed chiefly of the worst men and
direst enemies of the State. A representa-
tive of this people should be man Of honor,
courage and probity, while Kellogg possesses
only the qualities Of the sneak thief the
coward and the liar. A Omitted States Sem
ator from Louisiana" should possess the
respect OF the people of Louisiana and be
identified with their interests. Kellogg is
absolutely despised in every parish of the
State, and has been the worst enemy its in
tercsts have ever had. 1t is impossible for
him, on any of his followers to point out
single act of his honorable to the common
wealth, or one that has not oppressed tho peo-
pie or reflected discredit upon them. Such
creature cannot be the legitimate representa-
tive Of any free people in any body or under
any circumstances and in the name Of our
fellow-citizens we rppudate him and his pre-
tensions.
Certainly the unclean dog occupies seat
In the United States Senate where he claims to
represent this State But our people are not
responsible for that Our people protest
ed; our legitimate representative protested
against his admission to the Senate, and
the Democratic Senators, without an excep-
tion, endeavored to prevent his seating The
fact that W. Pitt Kellogg holds seat In the
Senate, in defiance Of law and In opposition
to the will of the people the miserable and
shameless wretch pretends to represent, Is to
the eternal disgrace of the Republican Sena-
tors, who, to maintain a partisan supremacy,
were willing to perjure themselves and dis
grace the Senate. Neither the people OF Lou
isana, nor the Legislature OF Louisiana are
in anywise responsible for this shameful
business. The impudence of characterless
adventurer ready for Office, to endure the
scorn, contempt and loathing of people, and
the reckless and INSCRIPTIONS partisan spirit
of the Republican Senators, gave Kellogg q
seat In the Senate and nothing else. II he
thinks he represents this people, let him go
out upon the public thoroughfares Of New
Orleans and he will find the finger Of scorn
and contempt pointed at him in every local
ity he visits. Let him 60 into any OF the |
parishes and he will meet only with |
insult and contumely. Actual violence would |
not in all probability be done him, but the |
people-the men, women and children-will |
turn away from him as a thing to be |
Stunned and loathed; as though they had |
heard the cry, Room for the leper." There is |
not a neighborhood in Louisiana that this |
so-called Senator, this fraudulent representa-
tive would not be spit upon. Louisiana in
deed, spews him out of her mouth, spurns |
him from her feet and denounces his pre-
SUMPTION
Thou SANDER Of thy mothers womb!
Thou loathed issue of thy fathers loinsy
Thou rag of honorl thou detested"
Go dog, for thou hast heard me,
