,.,, ,or inc Returning surge OF Pop-
uIar INDIGNATION.

Thu abatement of Cesanave given in fuii
in another part of The COMET to-day mas
caused many proud Caucasian heaa 70
bow in abject humiliationl-not 30 much
hecause Oasanave was member OF the
Returning Board of Louisiana, and because
that infamous Returning Board perpetrated
the monster fraud of the age-a fraud al
o,ca Colossal and brazen which, being
successful, shook all the moral centers Oh
our body polite; but because the Dene-
ticiaries of that great fraud are the repre-
seutatives and directors Of the government
and even at this late day stand at the mercy
of the meanest of that vile and corrupt
Board.
The present administration of this Re-
public is the creature Of men IT iS aSi'anh-
ed of.
II stands as a monument of corruption'
dishonesty, acknowledged perjury and vic
ness.
1t is enough to make proud citizen OF
it hang his head in shame.
But the statement of Casanave discloses
a feature which it might be well to consider
The manlpulators of this great outrage
Wells and Anderson, are bounteousiy pro-
v;ded for by their creatures, Hayes ana
Sherman. They made Hayes PRESIDENT
and Sherman Secretary of the treasury
Thew delivered the purse and the SWORD Oh
the government into their hauds' ANA 'ney
have beon rewarded. The country has oeen
insulted by having notorious and acknowi-
edged scoundrels foisted into the most iu-
cratiye Federal offices in New orleans.
And it don't stop there. The two cnlei
scoundrels have quartered all their sons
and uncles, and aunts, and nephews, ana
sops-in-law upon the Treasury Inc
Fraudulent Administration of HayesNSher-
man has done this much for its creators.
But what have they done for CasanaVe
Casanave WAS a member OF this boaru'

was an ostensible fourth part of the lniqul
tv WHY has he been left out i'll the cold
, to have his property sold for the attorney
fee for defending the rascals? Why shoule
, Casanaye, who had helped to give haye'
5000, 900 in salary and thousand millions
in patronage-why should he be left TO p'
sold ont and to bear the burden or the faS
callv Boards defense, while all the rest o
the thieves and perjurers are basklng an'
fattening on the Treasury
The answer is Casanave is negro, AM
q negro is figure-head in Radical poiitlc
and Radical morality.
There never has been an instance

critical Republican party, where test wa

If ia sad to have to believe this, but 1t
nndeniably true. 1t is painful to be force
q into SO poor an opinion of a part OF OF
countrymen, but there is no help for IT,
It was shown in the Freedmen's Bureau

It was proven by the grand Nation

If Radical mendacity can manipulate
