As our anti friends set great store by this

remind them that no paper III the United
States did more, or, for that mattera so much,
to sustain the infamous carpet-bag government
that controlled and blasted Louisiana III 1865

In these days, it was the self appointed mis-
sion of the New York Times to blacken the
name of Louisiana in the eyes OF the world,
and it pursued it's mission with great ability,
at large expense and with untiring energy,
1t is true that, in these later days, the Times,
now that it is no longer polite or pr0ltable
to defame and malign Louisiana, has fallen in
with the more liberal spirit Of the age and,
to be just, we must say that, as an advocate
OF tariff reform, it has done good service. But re-
Numbering that papers course toward Louisi-
ana, when Louisiana was friendless; when she
was being trampled under foot by Warmoth
and his gang, nearly all of whom are now anti
saints, that papers views as to what this State
should now do to relieve her financial difficult
ties, without further expressing her taxpayers,
should count but little in the estimation of
IOuisianians.
To all the comfort that the ants can get out
of the aid of the New York Times, which tram
pied on the South when the South was con-
quered and helpless, or out of the mouthings of
the New York World, which is recognized as
the champion Matchmaking sheet in America,
they are welcome.

Nebrasca and Kansas resumed their allegiance
to the Republicans, and Iowa took another

elected their candidate for Governor by an
