was lost Mr.. John Davidson, N. e.
Bailey and J. D. Hill were the other com
naissioners. A warrant was drawn for the
sum of $4,000, and to collect this Mr.. Hill
has ever since been dancing attendance at
the City Hall. Notwithstanding his sun
firing efforts, as the Picayune has it, this
is too strong a dose even for Mayor Elan
ders, who wanted to buy off the Ship Is
land Canal Company with (only , $780,
600, and fastened to give Mr.. Roselius
$4,000 for merely obtaining judgment in
a drainage suit, not one dollar Of the judg-
ment having been collected.
The Picoyune adds, by way of common
dation, that Colonel(?) Hill activity in pub
lie affairs commenced with the organiza-
ton ofthe Citizens Association. Strangely
enough the above mentioned drainage
commissioners were, John Roy excepted,
active managers ofthe Citizens Association,
were, in fact, the association itself 1t
soon became the laughing stock of the city,
and died without a sign. Even the Com
mittee of Fifty-one refused to cooperate
with its managers, so malodorous was the
whole concern. Are there any other
''utterly unselfsh' Reformers and injured
patriots to be looked after? If SO, let the
Picqg,tne trot them out.

WHO rs TO DECIDED

Amid voluminous mass Of similarly
conoeited and stupid assumptions, the Bee
declares:
Between the whites and cOlored there are
wanted no umpires imported from other
States
Four important questions arise in con-
nection with this egotistieal suggestion.
First, whether the whites want an umpire;
secondly, whether the eolored people
want one; thirdly, whether either party is
afraid Of an umpire; and fourthly, whether
the strangers In the State are to be denied
the right Of acting Independently? With
its very limited circulation among the in
telligent American speaking population Of
Louisiana, the Bee can not pretend to be
the mouth-piece Of that class; it certainly
can not assume to speak for the colored
people, and the newly arrived citizens from
other States neither know Of the Bee nor
do they feel at all interested in what it

The Picayune, complaining of our
proper structures upon the conduct of
Colonel ID J. D. Hill in conn ection with
the recent conventions, states that the
Colonel q "for the past twelve months,
has been untiring in his efforts to relieve
this community from the burden Of taxa
ton under which it has suffered SO long,"
that his course. has certainly been manly
and utterly unselfsh, etc., all of which
we propose to establ Esh beyond contro-
versy, by the following facts:
j. D. Hill was one o the co mmissioners
Of the first drainage district, and as such
was expressly forbidde p by la W to receive
compensation for his services Notwith-
standing this, on the tenth of February,
1871, when the new DIR image act was about
to be passed, he receiv ID from the commits
sioners the sum Of Nee thousand dollars
for professional service as attorney of the
board. This was for a trivial service be-
fore one Of our courts, in which Mr.. Hill
made, if we are not mistaken, his maiden
effort, and, at the same time, wretched
failure, for which fifty dollars would have
been a large compensation.
On the eighteenth Of May following,
just before the commissioners had to turn
over their assets and accounts to the City
Administrators, this same utterly unset
fish" gentleman, in the interest of the
bleeding taxpayers of New Orleans,
presented an additional bill of five
thousand dollars for legal services
as attorney for the board, although
it is well known that the board had done
next to nothing during its entire existence,
and that the real service in the Ship Is
1-1and case was rendered by Messrs. Walker
and Roselius. Honest John Roy protested
against this outrageous bill, and made
motion to reduce it to $1,000, but this

We said that if the members of the
Grant convention had read the congress
sionaI report concerning affairs in Louisi-
ana, the delegates might have INDUCED in
some curious thoughts while Carter was
speaking. The Citizens Guard felt the
thrust, and attempted to ward off its
effects by replying that Carter was joyous
ly received by the Grant convention.
Who said he was not? We simply re-
marked that if his hearers had known
him as they might have done, their
thoughts while he was Grating might have
been curiously suggestive. Carter was
received with more favor than he was
sent; for he was badly beaten in his at
tempt to secure an election, as was John
Ray. How these men got their pronni-
hence after their party had defeated them
is question that the next investigating
committee may develop. But we shall
insist on our original assertion, that if
the report Of the congressional committee
had been better understood by the men,
bers Of the convention, Carriers speech
would probably have originated some curl
Gus thoughts. We stick to this.

In one thing, at least, the Pic
ayene has been consistent, and that
is in its Inconsistency. Last January
it was hot for martial law, and then
it changed around, and was not so
hot for anything of the sort. Then it
impulsively demanded for an entire week,
that no taxes should be paid, but the next
week it fell to and advised the people to
pay their taxes Now it has got back to
its first of January scheme Of having the
United States attend to all our little bust
ness next fall. Two years ago the Pic
ayae could not bear ''nigger," but to-
day it is in favor of making the colored
citizen the favored of the State. At one
time it had no stomach for reconstruction
laws or federal interference, while now it
can not have too much of that dish. Such
an appetite for variety is great expense
to keep up.

General James Chestnut, an influential
leader of the South Carolina Liberal De-
mocracv. addresses a public admonition to
his party. He says that he has great faith
in the Cincinnati movement. He does not
believe that the Democratic party, pure
and simple, can restore constitutional gov
eminent, and he sees nothing in the avowed
purposes Of the Liberal Republican party
that we should object to- Mr.. Greeley he
looks upon as the symbol Of peace in the
land, purity in the government and pros
perity among the people; also, as the sym
Dol of the restoration Of law and liberty,
with equal rights and protection to all.

ADMITTING ITS WRONG.

The Picayene confesses that it has SLAM
dered and maligned Governor Warmoth.
This is very humiiating and degrading,
and is rendered more so by the manner
in which it is done. Instead Of a bold
and frank avowal, when cornered by our
direct demand for the proofs on which it
based its charges against his excellency
Of fraud and wrong-doing, the Pjcayme
admits that it has none, but meanly seeks
to leave the sting Of its false accusation
behind by asserting its belief that such
proofs might possibly be adduced by a
thorough investigation and under speci-
fed conditions. It then proceeds to name
a court of inquiry, composed Of gentle
men well known to be prejudiced against
the Governor-a court organized to con-
vict-and demands that he submit all his
private affairs, and whatever proof he
may have to inculpate. himself to their
curious scrutiny and partisan decision.
A more malicious and unjustifable at
tack, or more contemplate backdown,
is not on record in New Orleans journal
ism.

THE STATE DEBT.

Notwithstanding the facts and figures
presented to the Picaylcne some time since
by this journal relative to the State debt
it again reiterates the statement that it
exceeds sixty millions of dollars, and that
forty-fve millions of this amount has
been added to it during Governor War
moths administration. The falsehood
which the Pieay1tne thus puts before the
public is by no means lessened by the fic-
titioUs initial which it appends to the
paragraph alluded to, and which is more
like an editorial than communication.
Besides, the evident Partially which the
writer manifests for falsehood over truth
stamps it with Picayaae originality.
It may be very well, in the opinion ofthe
peoples organ, to insult the intelligence
Of the public by such statements, but if
persisted in will finally establish just
estimate of the veracity and reliability Of
that journal
The State debt scarcely reaches halt the
auOuuG dShSEl6u ny Tic tCuJuieo' VIC
have obtained, under the seal Of the Au-
ditor, the subjoined statement, which he
asserts is the exact amounted the State
debt, viz:

In the face of these facts, and which
have been previously published, how can
the Picagnme persist in such statements I?
Assured Of its incorectness-the figures
furnished to prove it untrue-the Pic re-
peats statement utterly false, and which
it knows to be SO. Acting upon the policy
of doing anything and everything to in
jure political opponent, it has but little
choice between falsehood and truth, but
rather prefers the former for its con-
geniality

An old Democrat plaintively refuses to
see straight, because he does not want
to meet his old friends in the other world
and be forced to confess to them that he
wound up his earthly pilgrimage by voting
for an old Wing ike Horace Greeley. If
this was original it might puzzle us to
reply to it on the instant but as it is not
original, we are at rest. An old italian
once made the same remark, when one of
his neighbors told him that he could carry
his corn to mill much easier by just d.
viding it into the two ends of the bag, in
stead of putting it all in one end, with a
big stone to balance it in the other. Our
old Democrat and the older Italian will
probably be astonished at their stupidity
in this world, if they ever get into one
where wisdom is universal.

formed in California, where this years
grain crop is very large. Knowing this fabt
