EffiDgham Lawrence a Republican.

lact lhat they cheered what he saiC
is evidence enough that he made pretty
good Republican speech. He advised al
classes to pay their taxes and give in thei,
adherence to the Kellogg government. This
borrows peculiar significance from tbt

Mr.. Julien Neville, who was recently ap-
pointed by President Grant register of the
consolidated land Office, took possession of
his position on Monday.
Political items al scarce about the Gus
tomheuse. In fact, the McEnery concern
has collapsed SO suddenly, they are scarce
in every direction. A look into the
Office of the genial surveyor discov-
cred mary polite Mr.. Parker is
very sociable and thoroughly devoted
to the duties Of his Office, but regards
the political contest here as over and the
political situation as altogether serene. He
has changed very few of his predecessors
appointees, but regrets that that the reor-
ganization reduced his force and threw four
excellent fellows out of employment. He
cordially wishes that he had place for
every man that wants one.
The old Pic still persists 10 occasionally
letting the cat ont Of the bag. 1t yesterday
informed tho mudsills Of the North that the
reason the rebel Sonth is so quiet is because
"they are not in o condition to take up
arms" Precisely so. "By it's military
power the United States government stands
ready" etc. Precisely SO.
The leree tax pays the Levee Company
for protecting us from overflow. But 8
Piwyn"c writer calls it swindle. If 80.
who are the swindlers: VIII that paper
venture to print the names Of the incorpor-
ators and cali them swindlers Will it tell
us who the stockholders in the Levee COM
pany are And will it then give complete
list OF its own proprietors !
The organ of the bond holders has al
ready commenced insinuations calculated
to browbeat and discourage the responsible
citizens who are appointed to investigate
the State debt 1t will crack the lash across
their backs vigorously, and if it succeeds
in overawing and intimidating them, all at
te1npts at reform and exposure Of corrup-
ton in this State may as well be abandoned
1t was one of the infamies Of corrupt
Legislature two years ago that 1t refused
to pass the bill asked for by Mr.. Nor
gan.-HeraM.
And it was one of the infam les Of men at
that time on the New Orleans Times that
they sided with corrupt Legislature
against Mr.. Morgan.
The New York Herald the other day con
t aimed an exceedingly pleasant leader con-
graduating Colonel George Williamson
upon his appointment, and describing the
delightful time he will have moving every
two months from one of the capitals of the
five republics to the other, at each OF which
the reception of the American minister is
sort of national festivity. 1t predicts that
nothing but the election Of an opposition
President four years hence will induce him
to return.
The friends of Administrator Davis, OF
Shreveport, charge Mayor Taylor with be-
ing false to the Republican party in general,
and with trying to oust Davis in particular.
This is all denied on the other hand, and
the leading Republicans of Shreveport
vouch for Mayor Taylor. Each seems to be
afraid that the other will induce the Gov
ernor to remove him. In this both are
likely to be mistaken. 1t is simply out
rageous to be constantly dragging the
executive into these local squabbles. What
are the courts for!
High Fusion circles have about closed
the discussion of the merits and aims OF the
Hon. Matt Carpenter, and the universal
but disgusting conclusion reached Is that
he is zone heather Chinee."
Governor Kellogg's executive order re-
garding the correction of erroneous assess
ments amounted to a great deal. The
board of assessors have been laboriously en-
gagged in that work ever since, and over
fire hundred assessments have been re-
duced. Since the Herald has published an
unjust assertion to the contrary, it ought to
correct it. Will it do 80?
