Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1880-09-25
OUR GRATEFUL THANKS.


OUR GRATEFUL THANKS.
We have striven since our entry
into journalism to place the CAplrO
LIAM in position where it might
merit the kindly consideration Of it,
contemporaries, all Of whom, almost
are edited by gentlemen whose char
acter we hold in high esteem. Though
we may in common with others have
INDUCED sometimes in heated contro'
versies, We have sought to keep with.
in the bounds of that courtesy that
should characterize our profession
We therefore regret that d sense Of
duty towards our confreres coupled
to certain circumstances have caused
lis to depart from our line Of conduct
in the instance alluded to by oul
friends, for whose lines Of approval
and endorsement we shall ever feel
grateful. They know that a very black
sheep had crept into the flock of Lou
isiana journalists and they have un-
derstood that the job Of pointing hin,
out was a nause0us undertaking.
Amid volleys of abuse and impreca-
lions from the CALLED jade we have
laid bare. the character of Lanier the
embezzler and the villifer of the peo-
pie of Louisiana and of the South.
We have nailed him as he deserved
to the gibbet Of public condemnation
by giving the proof of the Charge
which his brazen etfrontery caused us
to bring to the glare Of the sunshine.
The following is what some of our
friends have to say on the subject:
A scurrilous North Louisiana Radi-
cal sheet having grossly abused our
friend and confrere Gen. Jastremski
of the CApIroLIAN, in his issue of the
I'd instant, Gen. Jastremski skins the
fellow alive. The attack on the edi-
tor of the CAPITOLIAN was one of the
vilest we have ever seen, but the char
acter of onr friend for honor, patriot
ism and chiyalrous courage stands too
high in Louisiana and wherever else
he is known to require any defence
against such blackguardism as that
in the attack we have re-
ferred to.-N. 0. States.
The editors of the Baton Rouge
CAPIroLIAN and North Louisiana
(Proyidence) Republican are engaged
in a most desperate paper-pellet war
fare and calling each other bad names.
We do not think the editor of the CAP
has much to gain by continu-
ing such a warfare with one who has
such an utter disregard for truth as
the editor Of the Republican, and who
deals in such abuse ofpersons as men,
bers of the Democratic party.-Rich-
land Beacon.
Ard now Jastremski of the CAPIro-
LIAM girleth up his loins and bring
ing forth his ''stink pot proceedeth
with much rancor to anOint the sane
tilted carcass Of that shining example
Of Hayes civil service reform--that
bowler for Grant and
third term-thc erndite editor Of the
'Black East Carroll" North Louisiana
Republican, b. II. Lanier, in a style
which of itself at once attracts univer-
val admiration. Nailed to the gibbet
with italics, caps, and small caps, and
drowned in a flood Of billingsgate, we
eave the miserable wretch to the fate
he so richly deserves.-Abbeville Me-
ridional.
Such a castigation as Bro. Jastrem-
ski, of the CArIToLzAN, gives in his
asst issue to Lanier, of the Carroll
Republican, is certainly of that kind
not to De mistaken. We have notic-
ed that the CApIroLIAN is a journal
with the greatest dignity
md it's columns denote the highest
of truth, justice and impair
tiality, still the chiyalrous editor deems
It necessary to occasionally lash those
who bark too MISUNDERSTANDING
Bulletin.
BADLY USED UP.-The terrible rak-
ng down that Gen. Jastremski, of the
Baton Rouge CArlroLrAN, gives La
her Of tile dirty North Louisiana Re
publican, published in East Carroll
parish, ought to DC sufficient to cause
hat falsifying and knavish Radical
levil to crawl into some dark hole,
pull the hole in after him, and thus
,ttectually shut himself forever out of
sight aud out of hearing.-St. Landry
Democrat.
