Grakt’s Louisiana Bottle Wash
er. —George Washington Carter,
the expelled Speaker, the ally and
friend of the Administration in
New Orleans, came to the State of
Mississippi in his early youth.
He commenced his career there as
a school teacher, and after follow
ing that business for a few years,
lie became a minister of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church (South).
He was a circuit, preacher for s< v
eral years, but in consequence of
some irregularity witli a lady
member of his congregation which
resulted in her having twins, tho
locality became unhealthy for him,
as the father of the young girl
was looking for him with a shot
gun. So lie went to Texas, as
was usual in all such cases. The
war came on about this time, and
as Carter was a Yankee extermi
nator of the most ultra type, he
of course went into the Confeder
ate service as a Colonel of a regi
ment of Zouaves. He did not do
much service in the field, but fig
ured on the Texas frontier a good
deal. After the war, he was still
on the frontier, and it was said
was engaged in the highly lucra
i tive business of smuggling, vary
ing this with the agreeable vari
ety of horse-stealiug. llis talent
as displayed here came to the at
j tention of the Administration at
Washington, and he'tvas recog
nized immediately as a fit man for
a Federal appointment, especially
as he became a loyal Ku-Klux ex
| terminator some short time before.
He was appointed to the highly
creditable and honorable position
ot spy in the Secret Service De
partment, and was appointed to
duty under Gov. Warmotli, who
at that time was Special Treasury
Agent of the State of Texas.
When Gov. Warmoth came to
Louisiana, Carter followed. He
was first appointed Sheriff' of the
new parish of Cameron, but held
it but a short time. By some
means lie was returned two years
ago as member of the Legislature
from that parish. .His old detect
ive habits being still Btrong, he
hunted up all the transactions of
each member of the Legislature
which were questionable, and
about that time the Hon. Mortimer
Carr being removed from hia posi
tion as Speaker of the House by
reason of having accepted bribes,
i Mr. Caiter, working upon the fears
of the members of the Legislature
: by threatening to expose their va
| rious misdemeanors, forced them
Ito elect him Speaker. He immedi
ately formed an alliance with the
Hon. James F. Casey, the Presi
dent’s Brother-in-law, who appoin
ted him Inspector of Customs,
which position he still holds. It
i is not known that Mr. Carter ever
j did the Government a day’s serv
ice; but lie has drawn his pay
with unfailing regularity.— New
