Mr.. MahOney, Of PlaQuemines

We copy the following editorial notice of
Hon. H. Mahoney, Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, from the Plaquemines Repub-
ic0n:
Our able and highly gifted Representa-
tive, the Hon. H. MahOney, is most nObly
performing his duty to the State and to the
Republican party of Louisiana. In the hour
of danger he is found at his post, ever
ready to maintain the right and denounoe
the wrong, and we are proud and happy to
say, his whole course meets the unanimous
approval of the people of this parish, who
fully appreciate his eminent services, and
whose only embarrassment is how to ade-
duately compensate them, for no Office in
their gift would be sufficient reward for
his untiring and successful efforts il their
behalf.
Go on, true and tried servant of the
people.
First in the hearts of your race and fore
most among the noble champions of Re-
publicanism, when you return from the
scene of your labOrs; we will give you an
ovation, which, il it can not repay you for
your great services, will be at least most
sincere, though feeble expression Of our
gratitude and esteem.
Our Senator, the Hon. E. Butler, is also
nobly performing his duty, and most gal
lautly sustaining the State government. and
deserves therefor our most sincere thanks
and our most cordial support, and he may
rest assured that his constituents fully ap-
preciate his efforts and sustain his course.
The base Vaccinations of the Custom
house clone in Algiers have not only ut
terly and ANONYMOUSLY failed, but have
gained him hosts of new friends and rallied
all the old ones, to man, in his defense.

THE COURTS.

In all of the suits of the United States
against certain defendants, tried yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court, the jury
rendered a verdict in favor Of the United
States. and judgment was entered up &C
cordingly in the following cases: The
United States RECEIVERS from j. H. Richards,
SLY 80 in gold; from Andrew T. Bushee,
tor, Sal in gold; from j. H. Carter, $6l7 70
in gold; from Hunter, Askew & Co.,
$3.50 81 in coin. These cases were simply
prosecutions for non compliance with bonds
given. :.
The petition for revocation Of the dis
charge of A. 5. Mansfield is assigned, IN
the United States District Court, for a
hearing on Friday, February 2.
The rule lately brought in the Bank ct
Louisiana suit to pay certain costs, was yes
terday submitted.
John j. Claiborne, the president of the
Radical Republican Club of Carrollton,
made affidavit before United States Com
missioner Weller, that w. E. Green, Will
liam Moore, T. d. Fletcher and others did
unlawfully combine and conspire together
to deprive the depOnent and associates OF
his constitutional rights while thus assem-
bled, and did, by their riotous and disor-
derly conduct, break up the said assem-
blage, contrary to the laws of the United
States in such cases made and provided"
Commissioner Weller decreed as follows:
Gentlemen, from the evidence ELECTED,
l am forced to conclude that the meeting
was q mass meeting. You have produced
no evidence to show that it was club
meeting; and being q mass meeting, after
the appointed orators had finished their ad-
dresses, any who were called on had right
to speak Mr.. Green was called, and it ap-
pears with great unanimity, and if any one
was deprived of their right to speak, 1t was
Mr.. Green. The prosecution is dismissed. y
The injunction to enjOin the Auditor and
the Treasurer from auditing or paying any
warrants issued by any legislative body ex-
cept that assembled at the State House was
granted.
In the suit of the city against the Crescent
City SlaughterhOnse Company for taxes,
Judge Theard, of the Fourth District Court,
decided in favor Of the city.
In answer to the claim Of the city to re-
cover for tax on the business of the COM
pany, defendants set up that as they were a
corporation chartered by the State, and that
being engaged in business for the benefit OF
the community at large, they ought to be
exempt from taxation.
He held that even if it were so, it was,
also, true that they we're engaged in a call
ing from which they derived gain, and in
asmuch as the profits Of their business were
derived from the community, it would be no
more than right that they should pay tax
tor such privilege.
In the suit, tried by jury, in the Eighth
District Court of Weber, formerly Recorder
of the Fourth District, against Alfred E.
Billings, the present incumbent, the verdict
was in favor Of Weber.

Reform with q VENGEANCE.

vs. "ssA - 'Su9CASOs
This is q specimen of the reform that
Democrats clamor for. We copy from the
Iberville Neps:
WHEREAS, Suits are pending in the courts
against this parish for fees Of attorneys
employed by the police jury of 1869, there
being more funds in the parish treasury at
that time than were needed lin horn).
Whereas, The said fees amount to only
$4,000, or about six mills on the dollar of
parish taxes; and
Whereas, The attorneys claiming the
above fees are ''native and to the manor
born" and, consequently, have shown them
selves great refOrInists lover the left by
accepting the contract for SO Insignificant
an amount Of money.
Resoiped, That we, the taxpayers of her
vile, will cheertully pay the extra amount
of parish taxes levied upon us for the pur-
poses above mentioned, 1t being just aud
honest debt lin horn).
Rcsolred. further, That we return thanks
to the attorneys employed by the police
jury of 1869 for having performed those
services with SO little expense to the parish.
RESOLVED, further, That, in our opinion, all
other taxes both State and parish-;.ro un
just and cruel, and while we cheerfuily pay
the special tax for the fees of our attorneys,
we pay the other taxes because we have TO-.

Civil AervicC Reform.

In the debate in the Senate on Friday
frequent reference was made to that por-
ton of the civil service report which de-
clares one fourth of the revenue ia lost in
the collection OF the remainder through
corruption, etc. The opponents of the new
reform are getting up an official statement
to show that this is without foundation.
The report, according to the internal reve-
nue. returns. will not hold good, but, &C
cording to Hon. David A. Wells. is sub
stantially true with regard to the collection
of customs. 1t is understood that Judge
Bingham and General Butler, of the House,
will oppose the present system of reform,
and that other Republican Senators besides
those who have spoken are also preparing
speeches against it.
