financial phenomena was tho result
Of an increased demand upon the
Bank by the interior tradeof En-
gland and Of the heavy drain caused
by the payment Of the Franco Ger
man indemnity. Both Of these
causes have spent their main force
and now q favorable reaction has
set in. The London money market
suddenly raised up 10 s PER cent
France has paid her third 1nillard
and is about to discharge . half Of
the fourth. When the fourth mil
lard is paid the French territory
will be evacuated and the great
financial efforts Of the Government
to secure this disideratum by ad-
vance payments win cease.
The Comptroller Of the currency
has published his annual report in
which, among other important
items, is presented the fact that
since the organization Of the Ma
tionsl bank system, in 1868, only
a National banks have failed of
their aggregate circulation -$2,942,-
793. The Treasury has reduced
$2,441, ,430, and stands ready to
redeem the balance as soon as pre-
sented. The holders Of these notes
however, are h no hurry. Very
likely but few Of them are aware
that the banks have failed. Not
one man in a hundred looks at the
name Of the bank issuing the note.
Every body knows that there is
provided . fund ample for the re-
dempion. When we compare the
present stability Of our circulating
medium with the wild cat eras of
the past we realize something at the
magnificent character Of Republican
craftsmanship. The first great
point Of stability has been reached.
Within the true limits Of the system
it is now proposed to introduce
features which will give greater
elasticity to the currency and enable
it to adopt itself more readily to
the changing wants Of business.
These are points to which the comp
trollar invites the special attention
Of Congress. LIFE.

States for this district, and tht
money of the General Government
having been entrusted to his keep
ing, it is safe to infer that the State
can repose full confidence in his
honesty to administer the Office oi
Auditor honestly, and to the best
interest Of the whole people Of the
State.
A. p. Field won his election by
hard and assiduous labor. He
made the campaign in person;
marching over the State and BRAY
ing the Democracy in it's stronghold.
As a lawyer, A. P. Field has long
stood at the head Of his profession,
having a practice here as crimi-
nal lawyer which made him famil-
liar with the laws. We know the
Colonel to be man Of large heart,
and he brings to his Office an expert
ence which runs back nearly half a
century.
W. g. Brown, Esq, the superin-
tendent of Public Education, is a
man of color. For a long time edi-
tor of the Lou1s1AN1AS-a paper
published by his race and exercising
a wide infuence-his scholarly ar
ticles have attracted the attention of
the leading journals Of the country,
We have no doubt Mr.. Brown will
laok closely to the interest Of those
who attend the the public schools.
His majority over his competitor,
Mr.. Lusher, is some $4,000, which
in itself is good evidence of his
popularity.
The Presidential Electors are all
men who are respected in this cum
munity. DR.. NJ. F. Bonzano has
devoted q long and useful life to
scientific pursuits, and we unhesi-
tatiugly say that even his political
enemies cannot breathe o word of
reproach against q reputation which
is noted for high and lofty results.
DR.. L. c. Roudanez, who has
been selected to cast the vote of the
State for Grant, is q remarkable
man. Loving freedom, he at his
own expense published in this city
a Republican newspaper for a long
time, when the party was in its in
fancy here. AS a practicing physi-
clan he haa few equals and no !
in our midst, and nothing
but a love Of principal and a feeling
of duty could prompt him to leave
his home for the capital.
The other. gentlement are too
well known to require any more
extended notice.
On the whole we are proud OF
our new State Government and we
know the people will give it a hearty
support upon its Inauguration.

THE OFFICIAL RETURNS.
TIE NEW GOVERNMENT.

The Returning Officers yesterda.
morning published the official coun
for Presidential Electors, Governor
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary o
State, Auditor, Attorney Genera
and Superintendent Of Public Edu
cation. They had previously off
cially announcda the names Of thu
gentlemen who compose bott
houses Of the General Assembly
It is gratifying fact to the Repub'
licans that the returns were placed
in the hands of a man of the known
honesty of Senator Lynch, Of the
fidelity of Geo. E. Bovee, Of the
clear and trained legal intellect ol
Jacob Hawkins, and Of the unfinch-
ing courage Of General James Long
street.
The following is the vote cast for
Governor: Kellogg, 1880; Nc
Emery, 54,029.
For Lieut.. Governor-C. G. An
tome, 70,127; D. B. Penn, 56,340.
For Secretary Of State P. q. Des-
onde, 71,511; S. Armstead, 81, ,294
For Auditor-Chas. Clinton, H.
210; Jas. Graham, $500.
For Attorney General-A. P. Field
71,527, H. N. Ogden. 45,254.
For Superintendent of Public
Education-W. G. Brown, 70,075;
R. NJ. Lasher, 56,715.
Governor Kellogg will bring to
his aid as the chief magistrate of
this State not only a large expe-
rience in the Senate Of the United
States, a ripe scholarship and a
perfect knowledge of law, but an
acquaintance with the needs of the
State, which few men in our midst
posses. His services to North Lou
isiana are we'll known and appre-
ciated.
He got larger bequests for the
State of his adoption from Congress
than all his predecessors combined;
and representing, as he does, men
of all political opinions we know
his administration of our affairs will
be such as to elicit the admiration
Of the minority, who now loudly
clamor against his return.
G. G. Antoine, as a representative
black man, will enter upon his du-
lies as Lieutenant Governor with a
lull knowledge of them. Being in
The State Senate almost since the
Free State party came into power
here, he is thoroughly familiar with |

From the New York Financial Bulletin
SsrrinI Credit.

Last year the Virginia Legislature passed
funding bill which was regarded as def
nitcly settling the issues between the State
and its creditors. 1t invited the State cred
itols to exchange their old bonds for new
ones at GGi in the dollar with the arrears Of
ten years unpaid interest added. The cou-
pons of the new bonds were made rccciya-
bic for State taxes, and it was further pro-
yidcd that the payment of the interest
should take precedence of all other c,aiIus on
the State. The remaining onc-third of the
bonded debt was left unsettled, pending the
adjustment Of the claims Of the State on
West Virginia, which was regarded as justly
responsible for the amount.
Almost the first act Of the new Legisla-
ture, at the commencement Of the session il
December last, was to repeal this funding,
bill. This was the commencement OF an
earnest and occasionally very bitter ag!ta-
ton on State finances inside and outside the
Legislature, which has continued ever since
with very little prospect Of immediate settle
ment. The probability is that the whole
question will 20 over tor another year, and
be passed on by the people Of the State in the
next election.
But in the mean time the January interest
on the new funded debt remains unpaid, and
this. too, notwithstanding the fact there is
money enough in the State Treasury, and to
spare, to pay it and maintain the credit of
the State. There is now 4 SUM of 81, ,0G9
in the Treasury, and not quite half this
amount would be reguil ed to meet the claims
CT State creditors. But the money cannot
be paid out without the authority of the
Legislature, aud this is withheld for various
reasons. It Is said that il the State pays the
JANUARY dividends there viii not be enough
money to pay the July dividend and deflny
the expenses of tho State Government; but

Doc TAXA petition numerously signed
by persons from all parts of the county was
circulated here on Monday lust asking the
Legislature to levy tax of one dollar head
on dogs; very few refused to sign, and nearly
every one who was approached upon tie
subject was earnest in the advocacy of the
tax. Sheep are decidedly more popular than
dogs in this county, and the people seem de-
termined that those who enjoy the luxury of
dogs, to the peril of their sheep, must Fay
for it. They are right, and we hope the Lee
eislature will grant their petition.-Lecst'rg
