General Custar, once known as tie Boy
General with the Golden Locks" was at
the St. Charles Theatre last evening with
the suite of the Duke. The General looks
many years older than he did when, in 1863,
he marched out under Fitzpatrick, in COM
mand of cavalry brigade, bearing on his
new uniform the'single star that had taken
the place that day of the single bar which
he wore on General Pleasontons staff the
day previous.


'.One of US was with him on that march.
and also when the first battle was fought
at Hanover, Pennsylvania, the day before
the first days fight at Gettysburg. Custar's
fellow brigade commander, General Farms
worth, fell on the last days fight at Gettys-
Burg, while he lived through the war to go
with the Grand Duke on a buffalo hunt, and
to come with him to New Orleans.


This brave officer is always welcome to
the Crescent City. We remember that
when he went to Michigan, from the Army
of the Potomac, to marry the bride Of his
choice, the lady who is with him at the st.
Charles Hotel he came back shorn of his
golden locks, but with a higher sense of his
responsibilities to the whole people of the
! nation. Faithfully did he perform his duty
during the war, as a gallant officer of the
army, in which he remains without a blot
ON his eseatcheon. Long may he wave

oFFIcIAL.-We would inform the Warmoth
organ in Opelousas that We never desired to
confine all our political opponents in the State
penitentiary, but that we would rejoice with
al. honestmen if the robbers and piunderers
Of Louisiana could be incarcerated in the cells
of that institution. In that respect we differ
materially from the Journal; for if it has a
word of praise, it is for those who have weli
nigh bankrupt the State. Should an effert be
made to bring them to condign punishment,
they would surely find defender in the '+pap

Year: 1872

In the last issue Of Warmoth's ''pap organ
published in our town, we find the following:
Now we know that the Couriers code of
crimes and punishments is different from that
of any body else" We will frankly admit
that we differ very much from the journal in
our opinion of men and measures While it
would have honest people believe that in its
condemnation or approval of public affairs, it
is actuated by pure motiyes, it has never pub
lished line of feensure against Warmoth since
it sold itself to that archenemy of Louisiana !;
it's columns are ever teeming with editorials
and extracts from the New Orleans Republican,
in praise of that incarnation of corruption.
That it should speak well of its master when
ever he does a good act, is not to bewondered
at; but paper that pretends to be entitled
to the regard Of it's readers, should raise its
voice against the tyranny and the iniquitiss
which have stamped this present adlninistra-
tion of the State of Louisiana with an infamy
that will. forever hold to the execration of
honest men all those who have been connected
with it. The servant is worthy of his master.

The Journal finds much comfort in, that
good men sigued the call for the Liberal Con-
vention. We have always been prepared to
admit that iii the ranks of that party WIRE to

Of Louisiana. BUT to say that they were the
prime at0rcrS is to state that which those at
all conversant with the mancuvers of the Lib
eral Republicans headed by Warmoth know
not to be So. At tie time the call was made
for the Convention OF the 5th prox. the Dem
ocrats and Rcformers had not brought outa
joint ticket. The leading men Of tie country
felt disappointed at the failure of the two par
ties in adopting common platform and a
United ticket. Itwas that feeling which in
duced the Democratic papers throughout the
State to abstain from endorsing the nomina-
tions made by the Democratic Convention.
They were aware that patriotic men were at
work to reconcile the two parties, and consc-
quently were awaiting the Gesult of their ef-
forts.


In this silence Of the Democratic organs
the Liberal Republicans nothing daunted by
the refusal Of the Democrats and Reformcrs
to,jein them in betraying the State.for another
term in the hands of Warmoth and his retinue,
thought they saw an excellent opportunity to
make another effort to foist upon the people
their pct schemes. Under the guise of an
earnest desire for reform, they went to work
and called convention, inviting cooperation
from all parties. Theysuceeeded in obtaining

1t Is surely most gratifying not only
that the election was conducted peace

reason for complaint because OF

individuals; but because the Demo-

friends viii enter upon any future con-

their party, its leaders or its platform.
