government held large meeting at Mech snics'
Institute last evening tor the purpose Of
ranging for better presentation Of their cause TO
the people of the whole country. Leut.-Gov
several OF his prominent state officials were on
the platform. Speeches were made by leading
colored orators OF the state. Resolutions were
adopted asserting that Kellogg was legally
elected, and that his supporters were shame
lessly abused and deprived Of their rights last
fall; also, providing for the appointment of
committee whose duty IL shall be to send north
some Of their ablest colored orators and organ
ize in every parish of the state a committee for
the collection Of evidence and the selection OF
witnesses, and &c do everything that Is neces-
sary to remove the Misrepresentation in the
north Of the state Of affairs in Louisiana, and
TO present kellogg's case in the strongest light
before Congress next December.

The Senate yesterday passed a till
to provide for the payment OF int rest
upon the public debt, in accordanc,
with the understanding arrived 1T b.!
the Legislative committee and meeting
Of bondholders. 1t provides for the
payment of interest on two-tf,iids OF
the untunded debt and On all the fun
ded debt, at the rate of four per cent.
per annum, payable semi annually, for
the year 1878. And it further provides
that the Auditor Of Public Accounts,
Second Auditor, and Treasurer, shall
constitute a board, whose duty it shall
be to determine and set apart enengh ot
the public revenues to pay interest for
1878 and to carry Oh the government !;
then if there be surplus, the same
shall be applied to the liquidation OF
the unpaid interest for 1872, at the
same rate and III like manner as for the
year 1873. For the remaining two per-
cent. interest, 9 ,certificete, payable at
the pleasure of the State, and bearing no
interest is to be issued
No special PROVISION is made fo,
meeting the niatured coupons made
receivable fir taxes" but it was stated
by two gentlemen upon the floor Of The
Senate Yesterday that, D.: the Second
Auditor had made a calculation which
established the fact that, though half
the revenue coming into the treasury
for 1873; might lie received in coupons,
there would still be enough money to
pay the unpaid interest for 1872, and
the interest for 1873, at the rate of four
per cent. per annum. This bill not
only embidies the agreement entered
into at the bondholders conference, but
as to the interest Of 1872 does even
more than was there agreed the State
should do.

say they will not vote for an extension
unless the present County Court system
is virtually DESTROYED. An early ad
journment will not give time for the
election of County Judges, and they
look to tie next Assembly for such
legislation as will destroy the present
County Court system.
We are not at Ill afraid to incur the

wish to impose trpon MS. Perhaps the
best thing that &c uld be done would be

'icn the ounty judges will continue
10 hold ctfice' unt;l their successors are
elected and qualified Such a course

lox to pass upon the question Of the
destruction IF the County Courts. II
they wish to deprive themselves of so
useful eoult we shall not object.
