The Naethitoeollt ',inhcal, hae doomed It
proper to make the ri t thallt the name of the
editor of the I)EMoCnAT ilk inctlutal d n the above
the text rf a hitter stlack upon him. The ed
Itor of the DEMOl'RtAT h!as aini received a num1
bher of letters expressing aston-lhment and
regret at s.eing his name assoolated with those
of Packard. Warmoth and Kollogg; besides
this. several papers outride of the State have
had some quite uncivil things to say on the suh.
leet. Under the ecrcelnstances we deem it
proper to correct the error in the foregoing tel
erram'atnd to explain just what the editor of
this paper did in the matter.
In the first ptilce. hi never "oxplicitly reco'ti
mnended col. 'Wharton's appointmnent an United
States Marshal ;" and in the seoond place he
mover signed a reTcomnlFlndation of ally hlllr'
Ieter for Col. Wharton in company with Pack
ant. Warmoth, Kellogrg or anlly one, else.
When the appoilntment of Marshal was ltar
towed down to ia chobe between J. It. L. Pitkin
and Col. Jack Wharton, and every ILan i ll tlhe
State understood that no Democrat would be
appointed to that or any other Federal office,
the editor of the DI)IMORAT addresserd i letter
to the President expressing a very dlvcidedt
preference for Wharton over Pitkin. or any
other Radical in the State; in that letter he also
expressed the opinion that Col. Wharton's ap
pointment would give more general tatisfae
tlon than that of almost any other lllember of
his party in Touisiana. The editor of the DI)M
OCRAT wrote this letter at the solicitation of Col.
Wharton, ibut he does not hesitate to say that.
It be had beon vain enough to bhlleve that his
views in the matter woull in the least influence
the action of the President. he would have writ
ten the letter of his own accord ill the interest
of the public service and the public good. And
for these reasons: Pitkin is a narrow, virulent
and fanatical agitator; he belongs to the Jim
Blaine bloody-shirt clhss of Radicals and. had
he been appointedl, would have used his office
to keep up the bad blood between whites and
blacks in the State; to manipulate con
ventions and to thwart the bonefnient
influences of the i'resident's Southern policy
In short, had Pitkin retained the Marshal's
offite.,Jim Blaine, B-Ln Wade., ]east Butler and
all the worst, most bitter and relentless enemies
of Louisiana and the South would have had, in
an infilential station in our midst, a tireless
and unscrupulous agent, who w ulid have use I
his power and inflnence to reorganize the BRadi
cal party on the color ;inc and the bloody-shirt
basis. Theeditorof the DEMOCIRAT believed that
we had hi4ienough of this sort of agita'fon in
the State, and that the general good would
be served by getting rid of a'l such poli
tleians as Mr. Pitkin. Wharton. upon the other
hand, is a very diffTrcnt man, and the editor of
the DEMocrkTbelievedthalt lie would do all in
his power to carry out and make the Southern
policy a su(,ess: and liti has had no reason yet
to change his opinion.
These are, ill brief. thel motive, which
prompted thlteditor of the DEno AT to \write
a letter rei'ommending Ctol. Wharton in prefer
encet to Pitkin. He is entirely satisthal with
what he didi: hte never regretted the publicity
given to his rt'omnlmendation anild lie do.es not
hesitate to say that he would puruei agailn
precisely the same course under similar eir
cumstances.
The editor of the DEMOCRAT makes thi stat,'
lnent, notIs a defense of what he did, hut sim
ply to explain what be did. He does not him
self regardAthe'matter as of any public interest.
and he would not have imposed the subject.'
upon the readers of the D..oCRAT had not
gentlemen in different portions of the State
and a number of newspapers deemed his action
of sufficient consequence to make it the sub
ject of private remonstrance and public denun
altiol.
NOEUSSITY OF AN AGORE8BIVE. l
P'JLIOY.
It does not r~ quire a very large amount of
sagacity to pe',ceilve that the fhltme welfare
and political quiet of this itate depend upon
the adoptlr ,n of a vigIret.sy aggreslve policy
toAwatd Vtle hIorde of rascals who for eight
years p' ant. In the cnl .til of our politics aotd
the at.mlnistration of our public aflalrs, have
phtn,dered the people nad sterped and ndsal

to cortlupt and debase our government fand

tionable (hailrirattiortiei of free negroisn.
We are not soundine an Idle alarmn. The
public smntiment throughout the North and
West which sustalnedl carpelhlaggery and
free negroism in Lonisiana. stills retains a
virnlunt and fanatical energy. and threatens
to reinstate the power of the Returning
Iloard. even if to do so it ie necessary to die
stroy the Federal Administration it created.
Jan. (. Blaine, the bohlest and most auda
chius of the Ieaders of this sentiment, at a
public dinner given on the 2nd inst. at Tren
ton, N. J., to ex-retary Iloheson, one of the
most corrupt of its leader', defended Itepub
lllianism as It was adlmlnlistered by G(ranlt;
,that is, an exhibited in the rule of the bayonet.
thel political thief and the ignoraint negro
Sin Louisiana. In Iowa the Republicans in
con-vention repudiated the President's Mouth
orn policy, and announced the reorganization
I of the crusade of sectional hate and the legiti
I mnaty of carpetbaggery. l'ackard is peram
bulating the Mtates to fire the Radical heart,
Sand from every quarter we hear the note of
i preparation for the iaevival of Grantism and I
I ts restowation ih the Mouth through the or
gnization of the color line and the reinstate- I
wment of Returning Btoards.
Is it then wisdom, or policy, or p)atrl
otinm on the part, of the authorities of 1
Louisiana to grant any indulgoerfi., tolera
tion or mermy to the crimes of the alhlo
and* experiencel managers of the Radl
cal party in our midst? Will the people
jastify their omfcials in ipermitting crinmials
like Matt Wells. Tom Anderson, (leo. B.
SJohnson and W. '. . Kellogg to enjoy immnu
nity for their offences, and reeking with crime
to stalk in our midst, living evldthiceA of thei
impoteni, y of justice and the cowardhlc of the
law in Louiisiana ? Will the people tolerate
a feeble and mistaken policy which leaves
these ahlo and unscrupulouIiis men free to re
organize the ignorant and facile niegros and
the corrupt elecmnlts of the whites into a new
and dlisturbing pnrty organization to againt
agitate society and disturb and unsettle all our
private and public interests and industries ?
If there Ib'any lv'rs'In in our ildst~ who areo
dispiose to nilvornte the exemption of thel.el
nlotoriolus criminals from prosecution, let
thiem read tih fIolititeal news from every
Norlther and Weste'in Stato. If they do
l thin. tlhey will find a trmnleldoius lmovemenlt
going on tho rlhlisthi, tlhe suptli'iniy of these
za'niais in the polities of Louisinnn. aid they
may t ihen realize thlat. the only satfe anil statAs
imulike poilicy, inethil, the only lmhonest and
1manly policy fort I ho aut.horitin of Louisiana
to puro.no is to enforcel the law. r''gardlesn of

But we ar., told that. in tho politrial com
ptlaninses of last spring. which r.;.eulted in the
establishmenl, of the Irewsent governmential
silluatons. State and Federal, it was stipulated
that none of tihn ltIle'al leaderia nd ex-ofllelals
should hIe prosecuted. 'We know of no such
agreement or stipulation. If any such ex
ists the people have been kept in ignorance of
it. and it can have no binding liower Itbcause
It is an Imnoral and criminal contract, con
trary to the policy of the law and to the genlus
of civilization. There is no power in the State)
that Is authorized to grant "indulgenees" to
public criminals. because any such power
would be destructive of all government and
morality.
Buta granting for the sake of argument, that
the authorities of Louisiana entered into a
contract with Mr. Hayes and his friends to the
effect that, in consideration of the establish
ment of the legal government of Louisiana the
whole horde of Radleal malefactors should go
ft.e, how can the authorities of Louisiana now
be held by that bargain? Have the men now
threatened with prosecution, and who are
seeking immunity under the terms of this
bargain, become peaceful and law-abiding
citizens of the State, and are they yielding
that obedience to tohe constituteld authorities
which is essential to civil order?
By no means. The administration of public
affairs Is seriously interrupted and embar
rassiet by the criminal and revolutionawy ac
tion of those mion holding and concealing
State rsnards and books of the very greatest
importance. But a few days ago they disputed
the legality of the State government in a
Federal court, and they now treat our State
courts with insult and contempt, and refuse
to obey their mandates. Kellogg has not
abided the contract., and Is now aI claimant for
a seat in the Unitead States Senate on the au
thority of an elect ion by the Legislature of the
usurping government, and Packard marches
through the land denouncing and disputing
the authority of the Nicholls government.
If there was a compact of the nature
elainw.d, which we dcisp.pL, then he crimnruinals
were the first to break it., and the authorities
of Louisiana are no longer bound by it.
But, as we have said, no such immoral and
criminal contract exists, and the pleiple of
Louisiana demand that the authorities shall
go forward with the criminal prosecution of
these men. If Wells, Anderson, Kermer and
Caslanave tare innocent of the crimes of
forgery and perjury, the present authorities
of Louisiana are guilty of crimes greater
still. The honor no less than the interests of
our State demand that this issue shall be
tri.al and determineal. The guilty alone will
shrink from the issue. If Wells. Anderson &
Co. are innocent, why do they not themselves
seek the courts for a vindication, instead of
waiting to be dragged thither by the Sheriff ?
If upon ahe other hand they are guilty of the
crimes of which they are accused, where is
the power known to government or to law
that is authorized to shield them ?
As we write the information comes to us
that the Attorney General and District Attor
ney have tiled informations against the mem
bers of the Returning Board, and that those
of them who are in the city have been ar-.
rested. This Is vwli. Let the prosee.tions be Si
earrled on vigreur.ly to the end. The people I til
of Louislana demand it; phblle justice and re
public policy rululre it, and ommnnon decency eI
necceitates it. hi
BLAINE'8 VINDIOAT0ON _1OF t
DEMOORAOY.
Though the fmiatrh o July spRechos of the
Bndical chieftains are in the highest st.yle of T
Northern bulldoweisin and ihletly-Risrtisin
the whole country, and espcclally the South,
is indebted to tiico for their contributions,
involuntarily renderel, to the great cause of ir
a revived onstitutlionl unionism and to thcli
vilndlcation of the Ilemioracy and the solld ti
ounth. They have done inlmmnse servitnc In
their behalf by ansniling, from a purely sed- In
tionnl and partisan stand-point, the acts andl
t.endcn~les of the Denioncraey in the past hi- Ic
tory of the Republic. which gave that party at
Its inqgestionable title to promnlnei asn the
great national party of the country. t
]llead's ldenunelation of the l)enuocracy is oi
themel t eloquent and efflective vindication of (,
themn which has yet ~oen made. tie has
shown how that party has led in all the great
acquisitions of nsaional territory; how
through it the vast .reg.on now composing g
Ithr-fourths of the best portion of the con- tl
tlnent was wrested from foreign domination n.
or political iand social chaos, and by its addl- di
tion to the Union, as ~ttes, has dwarfed the ti
original thirteen colonies into comparatively tl
effete provinces, and thus made this the most ai
powerful nation In the civilized world. 1
In all this great crime and wrong against. r
ivlllization, republicanism and freedom, the a
,quth led the way and must bear the' burdlt 1
of the Infamy. i'N
To a touthern President is due the crime oif t
acquiring Louisiana fro.n a foreign despot. ci
and of thereby adding nine States, six North- ni
-ern and three Southern. to the original g,
thirteen. To the same wicked section and ti
party is due the acquisition, with like die n1
astrous consequences, of Florida, Texas, New ,
Mexico and Californin. All these and other
like ini.decits were perpetrated by the Mouth, r.
with slight aid from toe Northern Democracy.
Virtuous and pious a w England opposed all bi
this wickedness. Its nationalism, like its
religion, was limited by the narrow
lines of its townships and meeting-houses. t1
The Yankete wanted no more additions to
our population from abroad, no more now ii
States to oppose and offset the votes of the
"chosen people of (dil." Having brought to hi
the country millions of African slaves, scldi
them to the Houtll and thereby securedi an
onNmaous capital with which to build ships, ri
factories, churches and scihool-houses, they t
couldi see no justice. wisdom or true religion li
in permitting other and new States to be set
thedl Iy honester means and more lawful and
moral agencies, and toi icn r'cognized as en- r
titlel to admission Into a eonfederaey of froe ,
and equal States. This is the truthful rc',iord
which Blaine hos so foriibly revivedl as ex
posing the great i.ittomin ficnts upon which the
party, of which I he puts himself forward ai.

Jleutenant (overlnor and Presihlent, of the
heniathave l ate Impa his health, nnd he makesl

ovierworked energies. For ten yellrs lhe tins
lb,.i11 allmost. constantly engaged in pulhic
atairs, so much so, indleel, thati driring that
tl.e hI has nit, left the city in he sumnnmer
s masons. Though still a younmg man, Mr. Wiltz
h-is tilled, and all with credit and disinction,
the offtlet of Ahlerman and Mayor of New Or
leans, Speaker of the House of Representative.,
and he is now Lieutenant Governor of the
State. All of his experience In publice life has
Iben gained in a perloI of great excitnement antd
trial to his people, but he was always equal
to whatever emnergency presented itself, and
we have never heoard hlis personal integrity
Impeached even by his enomies. There are
very few men whose youth has been sublljei-cted
to the tilal both pf temptation and flattery of
whom this can be said.
Mr. Wiltz will visit Boston during his trip.
whore he will meet many friends of himnself
and New Orleans. Hie was Mayor or this
city in 1873, when a large sect ion of our State
was devastated by a terrible overflow, and
his correspol)dence wit I tlie Bostonians who
so generously conltrilbuted l to the sufferlers,
has made him known to ianny prominient Iand
patriotic citizens of that city.
A host of friendls, almost as numerous as
our population, 'join with us in wishing our
Lieutenant Governor a pleasant trip and it
full and speedy restoration to health.
We insert to-day in another column an ar
ticle on "President Hayes and the Denmicratie
party," written by C(ol. Claiborno in the
Pointo Coulp c Pllican to which reference wa.s
made in the I)EMIOCRAT a few days ago. The
article was then, through press of matter,
omitted.
We invite general attention to the colnvine'
ing letter in another colunin from Mr. *Jas.
G. Clar;ke, perhaps the most expierienced and
best informed railroad man in the Southwest,
adtlressed to Mr. Wheelock, President of the
New Orleans Paciflc IRailroad. This let
ter calls for an extended review, which we
will give it to-morrow.
The question is frequently propoundll.,
what special rascality inspires the fugitive
ex-Auditor Johnson in incurring imprison
ment and indictment, in flying from justice,
and in exhibiting him-self before the world in
the nlost audacious attitude ,ver assumed Iy
an ex-ofticial ? W( cannot give a full and sat
isfactory answer to this question in view of
the large Inumber of emnlbezzlemuents and
frauds which will 1e, exposed by the books
and archivers whic.hI Johnson has appropriated
and refuses to exhibit to the Grand Jury. But
it may be safely hinted that the proved defal
cation of $50,000 in the office of the Tax Col
lector of the First District, and the allega
tion by menmbrs of the Auditorial Investi
gating Committee that, making the investi
gatioq embrace the terms of the two collec
tors who have held this office since Kellogg's
installation, the defalcation will exceed
$i75,000, and, that Johnson himself was their
t.hief clerk, treasurer, etc., It is not difficult to
reach a concluslon as to the special and pe
collar rtason which Mr. Johnson has for
holding on to these books. This conclusion is
confirmed by the very plea set up by him to
the rule for contempt, namely, that he is re
quired under that rule to furnish testimony
calculated to crinilnate himself.
To the Capitalists, Property Holders and
Citizens of New Orleans.
'I h· undlrsignal, presidents of banks and
insurance companies of this city, fooling deep
ly the great importance of railroad connec
tion betwcen Now Orleans and the State of
Thxas, and iblleving that the present is the
most favorable time we can ever have to hilld
such a road, and knowing that the Now Or
loans Pacifl Railroad Company are
about to place before our (~ ople a sub
scription to the second mortgage bonds
to the extent of $t75t,000, the proceeds
of which will finish the grading, bridge and
cross-tie the entire road from Bayou (loula to
Marshall and Shreveport. which, when clone,
will enable the directory to make a first mort
gage debt of not to exceed $10,000 per mile,
sulfmicient to put down steel rails, build sta
tion-houses, turn-outs, and place loc.motives
and cars for two passenger trains each way,
dally, and at least 800 freight cars and locomo
tives to drive them--thereby putting the en
tlro road in complete condition for freight
and passenger traffic at a cost of l.es than
$15,000 per mile, the smallest cost of any rail
road, per mile, in this or any other country;
and further ballieing that some of our citi
zens may not have sufficient knowledge of or
confidence in these securities, and doubting
the ability on the part. of the stockholders to
complete the road, the undersigr.led doo(n it
not improper, at this erilis and juncture in thin
great enterprise, the success of which secures
the future welfare and prosperity of our State
and city, to place before you. under our sig
natures, our entire confidence, after careful
examination, both as to the certainty that the
road will be built speedily, if these secondl
mortgage bonds are taken, and also that the
bonds will provn a first-class seven per cent
per annum interest paying investment.
And we further give it as our opinion thit
these bonds will have a standtlint in our stock
market, and will be received by our several
Institutions as security for loans with as
much readiness as aRny other seven per cent
securities of our State.
We unhesitatingly cmrnnlnled these blnds
for investment, for teo reason that when the
road is completed the revenues are morally
certain to not only pay tihe interest on the
bonds, ibut, give handsome dividends to the
stockholdersb
If this loan is not taken, the work on tihe
road must he abandoned, and all subscriptions
to stock flow made s'h greatly jeopardized.
It will he a stigma and disgIace on our peo
ple to falil in completing this c(nnectilon with
our prosperous sister State, and we earnestly
ur'ge the attention of our cnpitalists, our
mI Oneyei mnen, ourt corf)orations, and all
chtsses' of oltr citizens to coime forward aind

to be able to seek respite from the labors of the
business season just closed, and to recuperate
their energies at some of the many delightfun
summer resorts to be found in the Northern
States and Osnada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under a vigorous and
efficient management. hbs become one of the
very bhst traveling thoroughfares in the country.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
expended, as we are credibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new Iron and steel
rails, new cress-ties and now bridges, and today
it may be safely said that no road south 'of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during the past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience, bear witness to its ex
cellenoe in every particular which goes to consti
tute a good road.
