NEW ORLEANS,

According to the sanguine expectation
of Administrators as to the sale of the tire,
million bonds. the foregoing debt was SUR
to be paid with margin or surplus Il
other obligations, not strictly within th,
law. Nobody has dreamed that the bond:
would bring less than eighty-two and {
half Yet, even at eighty they would yield
81, 400, 900, and cover the above debt.
The holders of obligations strictly within
the law have been and are vigilant, and
would probably litigate claims not enum-
Grated in the acts, unless placed there by
order of court. Hence the city authorities
have run no risk, and acted in no doubtful
case.
The following classes of claims have
been presented for recognition on the
floating debt, viz:
Interest on warrants and city notes,
~ say. .......... .............. $49, N0
Unpaid rolls. ...................... 463, 083
UnClassifed claims . l25. 600
IOtA. .-....................S 637 ,2S3
These amounts, if thrown upon the
floating debt, would exceed the proceeds
OF the bonds, and reduce the payment of
holders of the floating debt to pro rata
instead of the full payment they would
Otherwise get. If attempted to be paid in
cash by the present administration, they
would at once hopelessly swamp the
treasury; while the present employees, in
Guiding laborers on the streets, and work.
men and mechanics who now rejoice at
punctual pay, would be reduced to the
and unpaid condition in
which the former city administration
left their employees.
Yet there is peculiar sacredness in the
claims of these old pay rolls. The ordi-
nances gave them privilege and priority
Of payment over all other claims. True,
he former Council and administration vi
plated that privilege and priority, and are
primarily to blame in the matter. Yet
he proceeds of the three millions of bonds
re, or will be assets of the city. The
claims still exist against those assets.
The Legislature in its oversight of omit.
ing them, has perhaps impaired
! vested right, around which
he constitution throws its guard. If the
ct has given preference to four classes
f obligations not having such precedence
'efore, and excludes a class altogether
which before had priority over all, it is
0 that limited extent unconstitutional.
this reasoning is correct, it would be
o harm to put the S463 OS3 on the float
1g debt, and give to many worthy and
'aitiug people the relief of pro rata who
re, perhaps, entitled to full! payment out
f the floating debt by priority.
1t is no answer to the above to say that
lost or many of the pay roll claims were
'ng ago sold while the Conway admins

Gov. Palmer,

This prominent radical getlcman, is coming
to grief, even in the house of his friends.
A radical, in the Jacksonville journal, over
hauls Palmer in this manner;
"The people of Illinois remember that you
have, during twelve months, opened the prison
doors OF our penitentary and let out number
less criminals, after all the expense and all the
danger incurred by arrest and conviction by
the courts and officers. Robbers, murderers,
and other criminals have again been let loose
upon II helpless community, to "urn, assassi-
nate, and plumber. And yet with the same
pen which signs their pardons, you write a
proclamation to offer II reward OF $1,000 for
the arrest of those criminals whom you rclcas-
cd from the pententary.'
The writer Nigh. have gone further, and
asked about that peni,cntiary report which the
law required to be published long ago, which
Governor Palmca suppressed. The people are
beginning to inquire about those $500 900.
appropriated at the last session ofthe Lcgis
lature for the penltcntiary, and which were
spent in three months.

Whittemore.

The Ottawa Republican, mentioning the fact
of the reelection of Whittemore. the cadetship
peddler, by his black republican constituency
in South Carolina, ventures the opinion that
"Honest men must be scarce in that state, or
rogues must be above par
Honest men are scarce in South Carolina
only in the sense that they are powerless; and
they are made powerless by the same radical
means by which rogues not only IN South Car
olina. but all over the south, are raised "above
par 1t is the radical system OF voting foist-
ed on that state-that system by which 1000
negroes can vote down 5000 white men, that
renders 'honest men powerless" and lifts up
the "rogues.n
The case of Whittemore brings to mind the
characteristic fact, that the country is indebt-
ed to republicanism for the only precedents OF
members of congress, expelled for dishonorable
and criminal conduct, being returned by their
constituencies. Besides the case of White
more, the only other precedent of the kind
was that of o. B. Matteson, of N. Y, who
was expelled for receiving heavy brides. Ev-
identity, under the training which the radical
masses receive from their leaders, corruption Of
this kind is regarded as "smartness" rather
than crime. or even an offense worthy of
notice.
Such things may be all right with the party
which assumes to be especially devoted to the
Interests of God and humanity" and assumes
monopoly of all the shining virtues and al!
the intelligence; but it is notable that no
democratic constituency ever did such thing.
No democratic majority ever endorsed n crime
by making branded criminal their represen-
tative The honest democrats of Goadays
district in Kentucky repudiated him with
burning indignation on the bear suspicion OF
much less offense than Whittemore's
But as to the question whether Whlttemore
will he rc-admltted to his scat, we see no room
for doubt about it. What control has con-
gress over the tastes or wishes Of constituen.
cics A man may be admitted to congress
on the general suppostion that no constituent
cy will send as their representative black
guard, but who shows that he is blackgsard.
Congress can expel him, and give his constit
uents an opportunity to repair their mistake
in their man, if it WAS one But if the con-
stitnency return HIM, congress has no further
say in the matter. If a certain district deem
it to their advantage to be represented in con-
gress by blackguard it would be a violation
of the rights Of constituencies to deny them
the privilege. o. B. Matteson was not dis
turbed on his return after his expulsion. nor
will Whittemore be.

RATS Desertiug.N &c.

Several prominent radicals, Disguised with
the republican party as it is being run at
present, have deserted its ranks, and joined
the enemy. Among these we notice Capt.
Geo. r. Weber, OF Springfield. That gem.
tleman was Chairman of the Sangamon Co.
Central Committee. He comes out in card
and gives some good and substantial reasons
for leaving the radical party. He declares
that ''the republican party has fully accom-
plished its mission, and It's organization should
cease. Now it is beng run by demagogues
and thieves, carpet baggers and scoundrels,
many of whom ought to be in the peniten-
tiary." In snotherletter, resigning his posi-
ton rs chairman Of the Central Committee,
he says:
Ny long settled opinions about states
rights, protective tariffs, class legislation and
such like principles. as we'll as certain indica-
lions OF the necessary reconstruction and tu-
ture positions Of parties in reference TO them,
have forced me to the conclusion that cannot
act in good faith to the republican party, as
member of its central committee, much less be
its chairman.
NnSs OF corrupt men seek 10 control ana
do control the party in many districts, tor
plumber and nothing but plumber. There are
many great, good and brave men in the repub.
lcan party, who seem appalled, at the corrupt
. ion Of the Unexpectedly helpless in their
| potestations The Co'ruptionists have already
seized the forts and batteries (the papers and
| purity organs with Il few honorable exceptions, }
and the mints, Qhe most of the Offices 1t is
useless and dangerous to fight against such
things inside of a corrupt party, just as dan
| gerOus and hopeless as il was for the southern
patriots to remain and resist treason in the
bosom of the south during the rebellion to
speak out is political degradation and inqu-
sltoria prescription to keep silent lest the
| party may suffer, is rOluRtary slavery-more
damning than Involuntary slavery of Cuba {.
Hence felt more and more every day like as.
suming an independent attitude in politics, APP
plaudlng the right and condemning the wrong
in men and in parties.
l was with the republican party in its con.
| ception and at its birth; in its feeblencss and
poverty sacrificed much, and risked every
thing for 1t. now leave it in its strength and
glory, with consciousness that am under no
obligations to it for personal tavors, and know
ing that have been prescribed by influential
and corrupt rings, even to my very business,
for my independence in denouncing corrup-
tions and intrgues in the party.
Therefore ! must respectfully tender my
resignation IA a member of the central COM
mittce Of the republican party OF Sangamon
county.

The Decoration Business.

There is this to be said in favor of the black
guard who wrote the communication IN the
Ottawa Republican of Thursday signed "G A.
r." that he was ashamed to give Us his name.
We are not sufficiently versed in the slang of
the Jagnio to reply to him in language that he
could understand or appreciate.
As to the "loil" cant and shifting of the ed
itor of the Republican, on the same subject, We
have but to say, in characterizing the deco
ration affair in this city AS a failure, We but
repeated what ,he Republicd" itself had said
and what its editor repeated in his letter to
the Peru HeraM Of the I'd, saying:
"Tle decoration Of soldiers graves here on
Monday was, to say the least, q rather lame az
fair There was but a small attendance and
very little enthusiasm manifested"
And in giving the reason for the failure, we
again simply followed the leadings of our Co
temporary, who said also that the day was not
observed in Ottawa :" as it should have BEEN '
because, it was Cooked upon as ceremony
pertaining to the G. A. r." -a..
Exactly. The G. A. X. undertook to mo-
nopolizc the business in the name OF John A.
Logan and that class of political hucksters,
wherefore the people would have nothing to
do with it, and it was a failure.
As to the Republicons gibberish about eur
"copperheadism'' during the war; and the
"boys" of the G. A. II. having shared their
breasts to fight the "foes of the nation" with
whom the FREE TRADER "agreed in sentl.
mcnt,' &C., &c. we are SO used to that sort of
balderdash that it no longer otiends US. 1t
point of fact, that sort of dirt splashing at
the Democracy was played out long ago, and is
now INDUCED in only by those creatures whom
Horace Greeley speaks of being permitted by
Providence, tor some inscrutable purpose, "to
edit such minor republican newspapers OF the
country" as the Ottawa Republican, Earlville
