existence in this way, but he was equally

METROPOLITAN WARRANTs-The sub
Joined letter from City Attorney Lacey to
the Administrator of Finance will be read
with interest:
New ORLEANS. June l6, 1871.
Hon John s. Walton, Administrator of Finance:
SIR think my opinion in relation to the
receipt of Metropolitan warrants is clearly
expressed in the communication wnlcn
sent to his honor the Mayor, under date OF
the tenth instant, a copy of when was ais"
forwarded to you for intOrmation; out as
YOU have desired fuller expression OF
opinion, | hasten to comply with your re-
quest. -,
/. In the receipt of Metropolitan war
rants checks or orders, no distinction can
be drawn between warrants. checks or or
ders issued to meet the expenses of the
hoard in the several divisions of the Metro
politan Police district, the city of New Or
leans to the extent of the apportionment
against her, being as much bound to take
warrants, checks or orders issued for public
purposes in st. Bernard, Jefferson or any
other portion of the police district, as the
like paper issued to cover the expenses of
the police in New Orleans.
9. The CITY is not bound to the MetrOpOl-
itan Police Board, under the appointments
already made, to greater extent than one
quarter of one per cent of the taxes levied
by her; and as her payments greatly exceed
that margin, you ought not to receive any
more Metropolitan warrants, checks or or
ders in payment OF taxes, licenses or other
claims due the city.
g. The warrants, checks or orders annually
issued to the Metropolitan Police Board
should be applied to the apportionment of
the year for which the paper was given
The holder of a warrant issued during the
year ending September 80, 1869, ought not
to be noticed in the settlement of the aPpor-
tionment against the city for the subsequent
year. The law is not very clear upon this
point, but my Judgment leads me to adopt
the conclusion have herein expressed.
| have the honor TO remain your obedient
servant. GEORGE S. LACEY,
City Attorney.

| MR.. EDErUR-I am a man who don't see
the use of good menny things, because
good menny things that people glt wild
about and say the world cant git on with
out EN-, when thare done don't do no good
at all, and might as well never bin done.
| Now. don't YOU think a good menny things
done in the last ten years had better bin let
alones do; and that brings me to the
pint which 1 rise to explane in this ere
letter.
We'ere beginning to look about fur new
President when the present recumbent is
done. Sum say one man and sum say an
uther, as there choice; and as the time gifts
on therell be still more Richmens in the
field, and there'll be fuss ginerelly. Cords
of mummy and breth and bodily viger and
mussel spent, and then, after all, every can
dydate but one ill be disapinted and cuss
his luck
Now, Mr.. Edeteur, as we've done so much
these last ten yeres, We want little rest
from our labers, and with this vieugh pur-
pose as a candydate for the mex presadint
the mare of new orleans, Mr. Flanders. As
our Flanders mare he has done nuthin, but
kicked against everything. If we made
him presedint we wood have nuthin done
for the mex fore yeres witch wood give us a
jolly good long national rest. and we'd be
fresh to pitch in to emmy thing wen the fore
yeres was over, and the rest from laber
wood be national blessing. For we all
know our Flanders mare hasent done emmy
thing since he was cheat magistrate of the
City but have law suites and take out in
junktions and apeals, and these things cost
money and don't do no good except to the
chaps that fob the costs.
But if Mare Flanders was presedint he
could hardly tell congress they must sue a
lot of fellers, or that the senate must APP
peal. And if he cudent do that he woodent
do emmy thing else, and so weed be quiet for
vile.
Hoping you'll print this ere communeca-
ton Mr.. Edetur, rename yures,

p S. and n. B. 1t takes Mare Flanders a
CRATE menny hours in the day to do as much
nuthin as he does In fact his gittin up be-
fore daylight and setting up going about
so late at night, make CRATE menny people
consider him as our night mare.

A Failure i'm Liberia.

from the New 1ork Com merclal
Perhaps after all it is not a failure, but
the conduct of Liberian politicians does so
far outrun anything we are familiar with in
these United States, that this republic is
either total loss, or else we have proof of
what free institutions can become when
they have chance of luxuriant develop
ment, for instance, under an African sun
1t seems that by the Liberian constitution
the presidential term is limited to two years.
An amendment, doubling the term, was
proposed at the last presidential election.
The vote cast for it was merely nominal.
Mr.. Roye, the present incumbent, who was a
candidate, took charge of the ballots for
and against the amendment, and declared
himself elected for four years. The Legis-
lature denied his right to count the votes,
alleging that it was a legislative function,
which he has usurped. A new election was
ordered, though Roye protested. The OPP
position succeeded, a d elected ex-President
Roberts. Both Roye and he insist on being
president. and there is danger of collision.
The feeling is general that Liberian indie
pendence was declared too soon, and now
the question of color comes up, and the
mulattoes object to a full-blooded negro
president.
