There are now in the hands of the bank
ers and brokers of this city about $500, 900
Of Louisiana State notes.
These notes were issued under authority
which high legal talent has pronounced in
sufficient.
When, not many months since, the city
attempted to effect loan, making large
deposit Of these notes as collateral, opin-
ions Of learned counsel adverse to the le-
gality of their issue prevented the loan.
It is not unlikely, however, that the new
State government may cure the defects and
provide in some proper manner at some
proper time for the redemption of these
notes. When that question shall arise we
shall have an opinion to express.
Beside these State notes are outstanding
some 1925 900 of State warrants.
By special orders No. 40, headquarters
Fifth Military District, issued February %,
1868, General Hancock ordered that from
that date all licenses. on trades, professions,
ETC., the revenues, dues, and taxes of the
State Of Louisiana shall be payable and
collected in United States legal tender
treasury notes. sa9
This was absolutely necessary to provide
funds for the current expenses Of the State.
Ina few days military authority will ex-
pire, and with &c the force of that order.

may aid to carry it through the hrst weeks

established BY the order referred to.
TO meet the emergency was introduced

The Washington Election.

The official count of the votes cast at the
municipal election on Monday, gives Bowen,
the Radical candidate, eighty-three majority
The Star estimates the total vote at Is, 377
votes, and the Express at 20,634. The Elk
press of Tuesday evening says:
Intense excitement prevailed throughout
the city to-day on account Of the doubt as to
the result Of the election, and the vicinity Of
the City Hall has been thronged the entire
day. In several instances the ballot boxes re-
NAMED last night in the custody of the Radi-
cal judges, and this fact served to increase the
anxiety Of the Conservative citizens that they
you'd be tempered with, and SayiesJ Bowen
be foisted upon this community as Mayor.
To-day these charges are freely made, more
especially as the figures are made to give the
negro candidate a majority of So contrary to
the general impression last night.
One Of these boxes was at the Chronicle Of
fee, aud to-day Bowen's majority in this boz
is declared to be 45 more than was announc-
ed last night.
1t is currently reported that the frauds
committed during the progress of the election
yesterday are SO gross and manifest that Bow
ems election will be contested, and it will be
clearly proved that John T. Given was legal
ly chosen Mayor Of Washington.
It should also be stated that the correctness
of the figures given is by no means assured,
and more careful canvass may PLACE the pat
ter in different phase. :
A white man made a bet with colored
man in the First ward yesterday of 500 to
$50 that Mr.. Given would be elected This
morning the..colored man isstrudted the stake
holder not to give up the stakes in case Mr..
Given was elected, as the election would be
contested by Mr.. Bowen.

Expenses Must be Reduced.


people must, whether they like it or not,
reduce the expense of living. The N. \.
Financial Chronicle thus observes the signs
of the times
aLuxuries are being curtailed /; rs an illus
tration Of which we ind the piano forte mar
ket ovsr supplied, and dealers advertising their
instruments for sale upon monthly instruments.
Families are refusing to pay the late high rents
for dwellings; and hence the 2st OF May
found large numbers Of houses unlet In
every household the question is-how to re-
duce expenditures andI the result IS very
general complaints from the retail trade
This process of contracting expenses must go
on vet further, until consumption is moro
evenly regulated by production: land then may
we expect a healthier condition OF trade.
There must be ere long a diminished demand
for labor which will again work out reduc-
tion of wages, and resulting decline IN the
cost eff allsproducts There IS reason fog hope
that this much needed reduction IN the cost
of labor may be facilitated by an abundant
harvest and cheaper food-a boon which
would also tend to the general ameharation
ef the condition Of trade. Business has still
to hattie with the misehievous tendencies Of
an inflated currency, and its concomitant lie
titious fluctuations in prices. For the linme-
date future il would be to hope without rea-
son to expeet our former average prosperity. .
