OUR GRATEFUL THANKS.

OUR GRATEFUL THANKS.
We have striven since our entry
into journalism to place the CArIro-
LIAM in position where it might
merit the kindly consideration of its
contemporaries, all of whom, almost,
arc edited by gentlemen whose char
acter we hold in hi sl' esteem. Though
We may in common with others have
indulgcd sometimes il, heated contro-
versics, we have sought to keep with
in the bounds Of that courtesy that
should characterize our profession.
We therefore regret that a sense of
duty towards our confreres coupled
to certain circumstances have caused
us to depart from our line of conduct
in the instance alluded to by our
friends, for whose lines of approval
aud 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 him
out was q nauseous undertaking.
Amid vOlleys of abuse and impreca-
tions from the CALLED jade we have
laid bare the character of Lanier the
embezzlcr and the villificr of the pee.
pie of Louisiana and of the South.
We have nailed him AZ he deserved
to the sibbct of public condemnation
by giving the procf of the charge
which his brazcn 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 cOntrere Gen. Jastremski
of the CArIroIJAN, in bis issue Of the
2d instant, Gen. Jastrcmski skins the
fellow alive. The attack on the cdi-
tor of the CArlrOLIAN was one of the
vilcst we have ever seen, but the char
acter of Onr friend for honor, patriot
ism and chiyalrous courage standstoo
high in Louisiana and wherever else
he is known to require any defence
against such blackguarlism as that
contained in the attack we have re-
fcrred to.--N. o. States.
The editors OF the Baton Rouge
CArIroLIAN and North Louisiana
Providcncc) Republican arc engaged
in u most desperate paper pellet war
fare and calling each otherbad names.
We do not think the editor of tho CAP
ToLIAN has much to gain by continu-
ing such u warfare with one who has
such an utter disregard for truth as
the editor of the Republican, and who
deals in such abuse OF persons as mem
bcrs of tho Democratic party.-Rich-
land Beacon.
Ard now Jastrcmski Of the CApITO-
LIAM girdcth up his loins and bring
ing forth his "stink pot procecdeth
with much rancOr to anoint the sane
tilted carcass of that shining example
Of Hayes civil service rcform--that
staunch ltowlcr for Grant and
third tcrm--the crudite editor of the
"Black East Carroll" North Louisiana
Republican, b. II. Lanier, in a style
which of itself atonce attracts univer-
sal admiration. Nailed to the gibbet
with italics, caps, and small caps, and
drowned in flood Of billingsgatc, we
leave the miserable wretch to the fate
he so richly deserves.-Abbcvillc Me-
ridional.
Such u castigation as Bro. Jastrem-
ski, of tho CArIToL1AN, gives in his
last issue to Lanicr, of tho Carroll
Republican, is certainly of that kind
not to be mistaken. We have motto
cd that the CAr1roLrAN is a journal
conducted with the greatest dignity
and it's columns dcnotogthe highest
standard of truth, justice and impair
tiality, still the chivalrouseditor deems
it necessary to occasionally lash those
who bark too fnriously. Marksvillc

BADLY USED Up.-The terrible rak-
ing down that Gen. Jastremski, of the
Baton Rouge CArIToLIAN, gives La
nicr Of the dirty North Louisiana Re-
publican, published in East Carroll
parish, ought to be sufficient to cause
that falsifying and knavish Radical
devil to crawl into some dark hole,
pull the hole in after him, and thus
ctfectually shut himself forever out of
sight and out Of heariug.--St. Landry
Democrat.
