like most romances, has no other foundation
to stand on than the tbaseless fabric of dream.
There was no 'trickery" whatever in the mat
ter-alI was open and above board. Owing
to the high price demanded last year by The
proprietors of the papers published in Sbreve
port-the Caddo Gazette putting in the loves
bld-tle police jury concluded not to publish
= its proceedings, revoked the resolution giving
I the printing to thelowest bidder, and authorised
the president to have published the necessary
advertisements and notices by the square, al
the ordinary price asked for such work. A few
days previous to the late meeting ofthe police ju-
ry we requested the president of that body to
make motion, that the printing be put up at
auction By himself, and given to the lowest bid
der. He promised to do SO, but at the same
time stated that on account of business he would
NECESSARILY be absent during the first portion Of
the session. The day previous to the adjourn
Iment of the police jury, the president not hav
ing returned, and no action having been taken
in regard to the printing, we made an offer to
do it for specified amount, which was unan-
mously accepted. The offer was made, consid
cred and accepted in an open meeting, and if
our neighbors were not present, or neglected to
attend to, or look after the matter, it was their
own fault, not that oftle policejury. Wewere

the printing was to be given out, nor we're we
ever "sent for BY the police jury. We know
/ of no law which makes it the duty Of police ju-
rors to dance attendance on editors, nor do we
believe that there exists any statute prohibiting
the proprietors of this paper making an offer to
do the parish printing. But, enough of this, {
agreat deal of unnecessary noise has been made
over a very small matter.
The gentlemen who compose the police jury {
are too well known, for honor and rectitude, to c
need any defence. The aspersiens hurled at i
them by our neghbor can never tarnish their y
good name. m.". c

Mr. Horatio j. Perry was chosen by the
esident and Mr.. Marcy to fill the station ofse-
etary delegation to Mr.. soule, and it appears thu
at instead Of attending to the duties of the rig
ice, he has been enacting the secret spv on ing
superor-on a man in whose family he re- to
led, and of whose confidence and hospitality pu
was daily recipient. We, therefore, can rec
t wonder at the bitterness displayed by Mr.. TAX
uIe IN the above letter. But what a sad spec wa
lie these petty bros among the Pierce Office nat
lders present to the American people. What mi:
Ter evidence need be given prove the utter GOV
fitness Of the present administration and its ent
cials to conduct the affairs ofthis republic. anG
