THE SALES OF STATE MONEY
A Card from Mr.. Howell.

A Card from Mr.. Howell.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The editorials in the Saturday and Mon
day evenings issue of the New Orleans
Times, relative to a sale of notes by me,
for account of the city, require an explana-
ton.
When took charge of the treasury de-
partment in August last, there were about
two hundred and twenty-five thousand do
lars in state notes and warrants in the
vault; about the same amount were in
possession Of the First National bank on
pledge. This redeemed and brought to
the Office. About two hundred and twenty
i've thousand dollars in state notes, and
over one hundred thousand in batture not es,
were pledged by the late treasurer
to Messrs. Avegno & Wilcox for a
large sum leaned the city. The conditions
of the pledge were eight per cent per an
mum interest, with half per cent brokerage,
with ten days notice by either party for
payment 1t will thus be seen that four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in state
notes were under my control, and by resolu-
tion of the common council sold by me at
the market rates. More than three-fourths
of the notes in the treasury were disposed
of for legal tenders at rates less than thirty
one per cent discount, and the proceeds in
vested in large city notes at from twelve to
sixteen and u quarter. per cent discount, for
the purpose Of destroying to keep straight
the account of the small issue of notes daily
brought TO the city.
One firm in the city from whom SO, 900
had been received on collateral security OF
$I25,000 state notes, made the demand for
settlement more than two months ago.
The city was not in condition to pay, and
the firm, under the pledge given by Messrs.
AVegno IL WillOz, advertised the notes to
be sold at auction by Placide ]. Spear. 0n
the day of sale proposition was made to
purchase the notes advertised, and those
remaining in the vault, amounting to $780,
$40, at AZ per cent discount, with per
cent brokerage The sale was made and
the debt paid. The notes had been quoted
for a week previous at the rate sold for,
and the city losing all control ever the
notes by the pledge given, no other course
could be taken. The Times recommends
an investigation of how the state money
went ont of the treasury. fully agree with
it, and recommend further Inquiry of how
the state money ever got in.

OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
LETTER FROM THE RECEIVER

We yesterday made few remarks in an
swer to correspondent on the subject of
the exploded First National bank of this
city, which, it appears, has given great UNI
bragg tG the exceedingly learned, faithful,
and assiduous receiver Ct the bank, one
Charles Case. We are glad to learn that
we are finally to have a full report of the
condition of the bank and of his Is opera
tions as receiver
When this document is given
to the public--which we understand will
be done to-day--it will doubtless prove in
teresting, reliable, and refreshing, if we may
judge from the following singular letter of
Mr.. Case. We will patiently wait for the
mountain which Mr. Case is about to bring
forth, and which will be considered by a
meeting of the creditors of the bank, to be
held this evening at G. O'Clock, in parlor o
Of the st. Charles hotel, before we comment
at length on the Operations of our
"would-be friend" In the meantime, we
cannot resist treating our readers to the fol,
lowing refreshing production:

June last, on my invitation, for any infur
nation about this bank Has any one called
since my return to the city in November

ton of the bank, and of my operations al

not a creditor to demand information from
me, do recognize that right on the par
of every creditor. To all such have eve
been not only willing but anxious to i'm
part all information in my possession. NJ

1t is safe to assert that fully one-half o
the time OF my bookeeper and mysel
during business hours for the past two
mouths has been cheerfully devoted tt
answering the inquiries of creditors, al
though thereby the report which | was pre-

Thirty Fourth Days PrOceedIAEs.
The convention yesterday made rather
better progress in the work Of adopting the
constitution than on any previous day.
Twenty sections were adopted, some Of
which are Of great importance. The pro-
visions under discussion related entirely to
the organization Of the legislative and ex-
ecntive departments Of the government.
The number Of senators is fixed at thirty
six. No parish except Orleans shall be
divided in apportiening the senatorial dis
tricts. The terms Of senators shall be for
four years, except one-half Of thoss chosen
at the first general election, who shall be
elected for two years. The other provisions
in regard to members Of the legislature are
nearly similar to those heretofore existing.
The only qualifications required for eligl-
bility are citizenship Of the United States
aud a residences in this state for two years
preceding the election. After completing
these provisions the convention adjournal
till to-day at eleven O'Clock.
